DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Embodiment 1
[0030] See also Figure 1-2The present embodiment provides an air bearing, which is made by using a foil forming device. The air bearing includes an air bearing body 1, and the air bearing body 1 includes a top foil 101, a welding point 103, a bearing sleeve 104 and a shaft 105. The top foil 101 is wrapped around the outside of the shaft 105, and the welding point 103 is located inside the bearing sleeve 104. The top foil 101 is assembled and connected to the outside of the shaft 105. When the shaft 105 rotates, a wedge-shaped space is formed between the top foil 101 and the shaft 105, and the gas enters this space and forms an air film driven by the rotor.
[0031] The present embodiment also provides a foil for making the above air bearing, including a foil body 102, wherein the foil body 102 is wrapped and assembled on the outside of the top foil 101, and the bearing sleeve 104 is assembled and connected to the outside of the foil body 102. The top foil 101 and the opposite end of the foil body 102 are welded at the position of the welding point 103. The foil body 102 is a wavy structure, and the foil body 102 includes a wave bottom 1021 and a wave top 1022. The wave bottom 1021 is an arc structure, and the wave top 1022 is an "I"-shaped structure. The foil body 102 provides elastic support for the air bearing body 1, can absorb vibration and impact, and reduce the wear and noise of the air bearing body 1. The deformation of the foil body 102 creates certain conditions for the formation of an air film. When the shaft 105 rotates, the deformation of the foil body 102 helps to form a stable air film between the shaft 105 and the air bearing body 1.
[0032] When the foil body 102 in this embodiment is applied to the above-mentioned air bearing body 1, when the shaft 105 rotates, its surface will continuously drive the gas in the surrounding environment into the wedge-shaped space. Due to the viscosity of the gas, the shaft 105 drives the gas to move, compresses the gas in the wedge-shaped area, and forms an air film with a certain pressure. When the pressure of the air film is large enough to support the load, the shaft 105 will float, thereby realizing the support function of the air bearing body 1, and also greatly reducing the friction. Embodiment 2
[0033] See also Figure 3-5Based on a foil provided in Example 1, this embodiment provides a foil forming device for making the above-mentioned foil body 102, including a frame 2, a forming unit 3, a guiding unit 4 and an adjusting unit 5. A supporting leg is provided at the bottom of the frame 2, an opening 201 is provided on one side of the frame 2, and a concave pressing roller 302 corresponds to the opening 201. The opening 201 is arranged so that the foil can be conveniently taken out horizontally from the concave pressing roller 302 after the foil is processed. The forming unit 3 is arranged at one end of the inner part of the frame 2, and the guiding unit 4 is arranged at a position corresponding to the forming unit 3 at the top of the frame 2. The guiding unit 4 is used for limiting and guiding the metal sheet when it enters the forming unit 3. The adjusting unit 5 is arranged on a side of the frame 2 away from the forming unit 3. The adjusting unit 5 drives the auxiliary unit 6 to move horizontally. The inner end of the frame 2 is provided with an auxiliary unit 6 that cooperates with the forming unit 3, and the end of the auxiliary unit 6 is rotatably connected to the adjusting unit 5.
[0034] The forming unit 3 includes a concave pressing roller 302 and a convex pressing roller 304 that cooperate with each other. The circumferential surface of the concave pressing roller 302 is provided with arc-shaped concave surfaces 3021 at equal intervals along the axial direction. The circumferential surface of the concave pressing roller 302 is provided with a first pressing surface 3022 at equal intervals between two adjacent arc-shaped concave surfaces 3021. The circumferential surface of the convex pressing roller 304 is provided with arc-shaped protrusions 3041 at equal intervals. The circumferential surface of the convex pressing roller 304 is provided with a second pressing surface 3042 at equal intervals between two adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 3041. The arc-shaped concave surfaces 3021 and the arc-shaped protrusions 3041 correspond to each other to form the wave bottom 1021. The first pressing surface 3022 and the second pressing surface 3042 correspond to each other to form the wave top 1022. The arc-shaped concave surface 3021 corresponds to the circumferential surface of the auxiliary roller 603.
[0035] A driven shaft 301 is fixedly passed through the middle of the concave pressure roller 302, and a driving shaft 303 is fixedly passed through the middle of the convex pressure roller 304. The ends of the driven shaft 301 and the driving shaft 303 are in a linear array and are rotatably connected to the side of the frame 2. The ends of the driven shaft 301 and the driving shaft 303 are fixedly sleeved with mutually meshing transmission gears 305. A first power unit 306 is provided on the side of the frame 2. The output end of the first power unit 306 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving shaft 303. The first power unit 306 is preferably a servo motor system. The first power unit 306 drives the convex pressure roller 304 to rotate, and the convex pressure roller 304 drives a transmission gear 305 at one end to rotate, thereby realizing the opposite movement of the two transmission gears 305, realizing the opposite rotation of the convex pressure roller 304 and the concave pressure roller 302, and forming the metal sheet while allowing the metal sheet to be conveyed downward.
[0036] The guide unit 4 includes a support plate 401 and an arc-shaped guide plate 403 arranged on the top surface of the frame 2. Both sides of the support plate 401 are rotatably connected to the limiting rollers 402. The arc-shaped guide plate 403 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 2. One end of the arc-shaped guide plate 403 corresponds to the fitting position between the concave pressure roller 302 and the convex pressure roller 304. The other end of the arc-shaped guide plate 403 extends to the side of the concave pressure roller 302 close to the auxiliary roller 603. The metal sheet passes through between the two limiting rollers 402 to provide limiting guidance for the downward transmission of the metal sheet. The arc-shaped guide plate 403 at the bottom guides the metal sheet after passing through the forming unit 3 to the bottom of the concave pressure roller 302, so that the metal sheet is wound along the circumferential direction of the concave pressure roller 302.
[0037] The adjustment unit 5 includes a slide groove 501, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 2. A movable seat 502 is slidably connected in the slide groove 501. An electric telescopic mechanism 503 is provided between the end of the movable seat 502 and the end surface of the slide groove 501. The electric telescopic mechanism 503 is preferably an electric telescopic rod. The movable seat 502 is driven to move horizontally by the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic mechanism 503, and the movable seat 502 drives the auxiliary roller 603 to move horizontally to adjust the distance between the auxiliary roller 603 and the arc-shaped concave surface 3021.
[0038] The auxiliary unit 6 includes a mounting shaft 601, both ends of which pass through and are rotatably connected to the movable seats 502 on both sides. A fixing frame 602 is provided at the end of the mounting shaft 601, and an auxiliary roller 603 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 602 in a ring-shaped arrangement. The radius of the auxiliary roller 603 is the same as that of the arc-shaped protrusion 3041. The auxiliary roller 603 cooperates with the arc-shaped concave surface 3021 to limit the metal sheet wound on the concave pressure roller 302, so that the metal sheet is tightly attached to the arc-shaped concave surface 3021.
[0039] When in use, the metal sheet to be formed is first passed through between the two limiting rollers 402, and the end of the metal sheet is extended into the joint between the concave pressing roller 302 and the convex pressing roller 304, the first power unit 306 is started, and the two transmission gears 305 are engaged with each other to realize the opposite rotation of the concave pressing roller 302 and the convex pressing roller 304 on both sides, and the metal sheet is pulled downward, and at the same time, the arc concave surface 3021 and the arc convex protrusion 3041 are used to press the wave bottom 1021 on the metal sheet, and the first pressing surface 3022 and the second pressing surface 3042 are used to press the wave top 1022 on the metal sheet, and the wave bottom 1021 and the wave top 1022 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the metal sheet, so as to form a wavy structure of the foil body 102, and the pressed metal sheet passes through the concave pressing roller 302 and the convex pressing roller 304. After the bottom between the convex pressure rollers 304 is transmitted, it passes through the arc guide plate 403 and goes around to the other side of the concave pressure roller 302. At the same time, the arc concave surface 3021 cooperates with the auxiliary roller 603 to drive the auxiliary roller 603 to rotate around the installation shaft 601. At this time, each auxiliary roller 603 is in a locked state under the action of the locking mechanism, thereby realizing the rotation of the installation shaft 601. When the metal sheet passes through the auxiliary roller 603, the auxiliary roller 603 presses the pressed wave bottom 1021 on the metal sheet into the arc concave surface 3021 to limit the metal sheet and prevent the metal sheet from being elastically reset under the action of its own elasticity until the metal sheet is completely wound on the concave pressure roller 302, thereby realizing the forming of the foil body 102, and the two ends of the entire metal sheet after being completely pressed will not overlap when it is completely wound on the concave pressure roller 302.
[0040] However, during the pressing process of the metal sheet, the concave pressing roller 302 and the convex pressing roller 304 are in a counter-rotating state, and the convex pressing roller 304 is a power roller. Therefore, when the arc-shaped concave surface 3021 and the arc-shaped protrusion 3041 are meshed, the downward extrusion force of the bottom of the arc-shaped protrusion 3041 on the metal sheet is greater than the upward extrusion force of the top of the arc-shaped protrusion 3041 on the metal sheet. In addition, during the pressing process, the temperature of the metal sheet will increase due to the effect of extrusion friction, resulting in an increase in the plastic deformation capacity of the metal sheet. As a result, the thickness of the side of the wave bottom 1021 that is subjected to greater force will be reduced during the forming of the wave bottom 1021, resulting in uneven thickness on both sides of the wave bottom 1021, which affects the quality of the foil body 102. In order to solve the above problems:
[0041] A second power unit 604 is provided on the movable seat 502 on one side, and the output end of the second power unit 604 is fixedly connected to the closed end of the installation shaft 601. The second power unit 604 is preferably a stepping motor for driving the installation shaft 601 to rotate and drive each auxiliary roller 603 to rotate independently.
[0042] A motor 608 corresponding to the auxiliary roller 603 is provided on the fixed frame 602, and the output shaft of the motor 608 is fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary roller 603. The motor 608 is used to drive the rotation of the auxiliary roller 603, and the motor 608 can only rotate forward and reverse. When the motor 608 drives the auxiliary roller 603 to rotate forward and reverse, it will not be interfered by the elastic hose 607. A locking mechanism for positioning the auxiliary roller 603 is provided on the fixed frame 602. When the motor 608 is not needed to drive the auxiliary roller 603 to rotate, the locking mechanism is used to lock the auxiliary roller 603, and the locking mechanism is in a locked state in the initial state.
[0043] When in use, after the metal sheet is completely pressed and formed, the first power unit 306 is stopped and the second power unit 604 is started. Since the wave bottom 1021 after being pressed rotates 180 degrees, it will cooperate with the auxiliary roller 603 on the other side. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the side of the wave bottom 1021 that is subjected to greater pressure from the convex pressure roller 304 is located at the top of the arc-shaped concave surface 3021. The rotation of the output end of the second power unit 604 causes each auxiliary roller 603 to rotate around the installation shaft 601 as a whole, so that the concave pressure roller 302 and the installation shaft 601 rotate in opposite directions. At this time, the installation shaft 601 provides a rotational force and drives the auxiliary roller 603 to rotate, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the squeezing pressure of the auxiliary roller 603 on the bottom of the arc-shaped concave surface 3021 is greater than the squeezing pressure on the top of the arc-shaped concave surface 3021, and the electric telescopic mechanism 503 is started at the same time, so that the electric telescopic mechanism 503 contracts and drives the movable seat 502 to move toward the concave pressure roller 302, and the squeezing pressure of the auxiliary roller 603 on the wave bottom 1021 is increased through the movable seat 502. At the same time, after the auxiliary roller 603 corresponds to the wave bottom 1021, the locking mechanism releases the lock on the auxiliary roller 603, and starts the motor 608. The motor 608 drives the corresponding auxiliary roller 603 to rotate rapidly forward and reverse, so as to balance the thickness on both sides of the wave bottom 1021 and correct the uneven thickness on both sides of the wave bottom 1021.
[0044] In addition, when the concave pressing roller 302 and the convex pressing roller 304 are pressing the metal sheet, the oxide layer and impurities on the metal sheet fall off and enter the wave bottom 1021 between the arc-shaped protrusion 3041 and the metal sheet, thereby causing local deformation of the wave bottom 1021. In order to solve the above problem:
[0045] The mounting shaft 601 is a hollow structure with one end being transparent. The transparent end of the mounting shaft 601 is rotatably connected with an air inlet plug 605, and the air inlet plug 605 is connected to an external high-pressure air supply system. The rotatable connection between the air inlet plug 605 and the mounting shaft 601 ensures that when the mounting shaft 601 rotates, the air supply of the high-pressure air supply system will not be affected. The auxiliary roller 603 is a hollow structure with both ends closed. One side of the circumferential surface of the auxiliary roller 603 is provided with exhaust holes 606 at equal intervals. When the auxiliary roller 603 is matched with the arc-shaped concave surface 3021, the exhaust holes 606 distributed in a horizontal array Corresponding to the horizontal center axis of the arc-shaped concave surface 3021, each auxiliary roller 603 and the installation shaft 601 are connected through an elastic hose 607. A solenoid valve is provided on the elastic hose 607. After the solenoid valve is turned on, the external high-pressure air supply system supplies high-pressure gas into the air inlet plug 605. After the high-pressure gas enters the installation shaft 601, it passes through the elastic hose 607 and enters each auxiliary roller 603, and is finally discharged through the exhaust hole 606. The opening and closing of the elastic hose 607 is controlled by the solenoid valve to realize the opening and closing of the exhaust hole 606 on each auxiliary roller 603.
[0046] When in use, before the wave bottom 1021 is corrected by the above method, and after the metal plate is completely pressed and formed and is still wound on the concave pressure roller 302 and continues to rotate, the second power unit 604 drives the installation shaft 601 to rotate synchronously, so that the auxiliary roller 603 and the concave pressure roller 302 rotate synchronously in opposite directions, and then the extension of the electric telescopic mechanism 503 is used to drive the movable seat 502 to move, so that the installation shaft 601 drives the auxiliary roller 603 to move slightly as a whole to the side away from the concave pressure roller 302, so that when the auxiliary roller 603 rotates to cooperate with the corresponding wave bottom 1021, a tiny gap is generated between the wave bottom 1021 and the auxiliary roller 603, and at the same time, the formed wave bottom 1021 is still in contact with the circumferential surface of the auxiliary roller 603 under the action of its own elastic reset, so as to achieve the expected limiting effect, and at the same time, the solenoid valve is opened to start the external high-pressure air supply system to pass high-pressure air into the air inlet plug 605. After the wave bottom 1021 rotates to the position corresponding to the corresponding auxiliary roller 603, the high-pressure gas passes through the mounting shaft 601 and the corresponding elastic hose 607 and is discharged into the corresponding wave bottom 1021 through the corresponding exhaust hole 606. Under the action of the high-pressure gas, the metal sheet separates from the auxiliary roller 603 and fits the inner side of the arc-shaped concave surface 3021. At the same time, the high-pressure gas discharges the oxide layer and impurities gathered in the wave bottom 1021. Secondly, the locking mechanism releases the lock of the auxiliary roller 603, and the motor 608 is started to drive the corresponding auxiliary roller 603 to rotate rapidly in both positive and negative directions, thereby expanding the injection area of the high-pressure gas and increasing the cleaning range of the wave bottom 1021. The positive and negative rotation angle of the auxiliary roller 603 is less than 60 degrees, thereby finally realizing the removal of the oxide layer and impurities in each wave bottom 1021 on the metal sheet. After the cleaning is completed, each component is reset, and the wave bottom 1021 is corrected using the above-mentioned correction method.
