DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 This embodiment provides a roller shaft bearing bushing sleeve assembly of a hot-dip galvanizing unit, comprising a sinking roller 1, a sleeve 2, a bearing bushing 3, a bearing seat 4, a roller arm 5, a push rod 6 and a push rod bearing 7, wherein both ends of the sinking roller 1 are fixedly connected to the sleeve 2, the bearing bushing 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bearing seat 4, the sleeve 2 is rotatably connected to the bearing bushing 3, the bearing seat 4 is fixedly connected to the roller arm 5, the push rod 6 is fixedly connected to the roller arm 5, the push rod bearing 7 is threadedly connected to the push rod 6, and the push rod bearing 7 abuts the sleeve 2.

[0028] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sleeve 2 rotates synchronously with the sinking roller 1, the bearing shell 3 is fixed relative to the bearing seat 4, the bearing seat 4 supports the cooperation between the bearing shell 3 and the sleeve 2, and the push rod 6 is used to axially limit the sleeve 2 by adjusting the axial clearance between the thrust push rod bearing 5 and the sleeve 2, so as to prevent the sleeve 2 from moving relative to the bearing shell 3 along the same straight line.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The sinking roller 1 includes a roller body 101, two roller flanges 102 and two roller shafts 103. The roller body 101 is a cylindrical structure. The two roller flanges 102 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the roller body 101. The two roller shafts 103 are respectively fixedly connected to the two roller flanges 102. The roller shafts 103 are coaxially arranged with the roller body 101.

[0030] In this embodiment, the preferably rotating sinking roller 1 is installed on the roller arm 5 through the shaft sleeves 2 and the bearing seat 4 on both sides.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 , and also includes a conical sealing plug 43. The bearing seat 4 is provided with a through cavity 41, and shaft holes 42 are opened at both ends of the bearing seat 4. One end of the through cavity 41 is conical, and the conical section of the through cavity 41 is provided with a conical sealing plug 43 that cooperates with the shaft hole 42.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, the conical sealing plug 43 can prevent the zinc liquid from entering the gap between the bearing shell and the sleeve.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 , and also includes a spring 32. The bearing shell 3 is perpendicular to one end of the bearing seat 4 and has two through grooves 31. One end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the through groove 31, and the other end of the spring 32 abuts against the conical sealing plug 43.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic force of the spring 32 is used to apply axial force to the conical sealing plug 43, so that the sealing plug 43 is pressed against the conical section of the through cavity 41, thereby achieving the sealing performance that maintains the rotation of the sleeve 2 and the bearing 3. When the conical sealing plug 43 gradually ages, the pressure of the conical sealing plug 43 is automatically compensated by the deformation of the spring under the action of the spring 32.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bearing seat 4 includes a ferrule 44, a joint body 45 and an external threaded ring 46. The external threaded ring 46 is threadedly connected to the ferrule 44. The joint body 45 meshes and connects the ferrule 44 and the external threaded ring 46. The end of the bearing shell 3 is provided with a mounting hole 34, and the outer surface of the bearing shell 3 is provided with a groove 35 matching the joint body 45.

[0036] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the ferrule 44, the joint body 45 and the external threaded ring 46 is preferred to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the bearing 3. First, the bearing 3 is placed in the ferrule 44, and the joint body 45 is placed in the external threaded ring 46. The external threaded ring 46 is rotated to thread the ferrule 44. The external threaded ring 46 pushes the joint body 45 to interfere with the groove 34, thereby fixing the bearing 3. The bearing 3 can be further fixed to the bearing seat 4 by screws through the mounting holes 34.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , further comprising a roller 8, the bearing shell 3 is provided with a trapezoidal outer ring 32, the shaft sleeve 2 is provided with a trapezoidal inner ring 21, and the roller 8 is slidably connected to the trapezoidal outer ring 32 and the trapezoidal inner ring 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the combination of the convex trapezoidal outer ring 32 and the trapezoidal inner ring 21 reduces the friction of the sleeve 2 and the wear caused by the relative rotation of the sleeve 2 and the bearing 3. The trapezoidal raceway 222 can improve the anti-skew ability of the bearing.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , also includes a raceway sealing block 22, a lubricant 23 and a connecting screw 24, the trapezoidal inner ring 21 is provided with a notch 221, the raceway sealing block 22 matches the notch 221, the raceway sealing block 22 is fastened together with the trapezoidal inner ring 21 with the notch 221 through the connecting screw 24 to form a complete trapezoidal raceway 222, and the raceway 222 is provided with a lubricant 23.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when assembling and replacing the roller 8, it is only necessary to loosen the screw 24, remove the raceway sealing block 22, and insert the roller 8 between the trapezoidal outer ring 32 and the trapezoidal inner ring 21 from the notch 22. The lubricant 23 reduces the friction between the sleeve 2 and the bearing 3 caused by relative rolling.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The push rod bearing 7 is provided with a groove 71 matching the end of the sleeve 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, the bearing 7 limits the axial position of the sleeve 2 via the groove 71 .

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The material of the shaft sleeve 2, the bearing shell 3 and the bearing seat 4 is Cr-Ni alloy, and the material of the roller 8 is cobalt-chromium tungsten carbide.

[0044] In this embodiment, the Cr-Ni alloy is preferably weldable and tough, and the cobalt-chromium tungsten carbide has a small friction coefficient and high strength, thereby ensuring a good rolling friction effect and extending the service life.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 A welding surface 47 is provided on a partial outer surface of the bearing seat 4, and the welding surface 47 is in a sawtooth shape.

[0046] In this embodiment, the serrated welding surface 47 is preferably conducive to the welding of the bearing seat 4 .

[0047] Working principle: the sleeve 2 rotates synchronously with the sinking roller 1, and the bearing seat 4 supports the cooperation between the bearing shell 3 and the sleeve 2. The push rod 6 is used to axially limit the sleeve 2 by adjusting the axial clearance between the thrust push rod bearing 5 and the sleeve 2 to prevent the sleeve 2 from moving relative to the bearing shell 3 along the same straight line. The elastic force of the spring 32 applies axial force to the conical sealing plug 43, so that the sealing plug 43 is pressed against the conical section of the through cavity 41, thereby achieving the sealing performance of the sleeve 2 and the bearing shell 3. When the conical sealing plug 43 gradually ages, under the action of the spring 32, the pressure of the conical sealing plug 43 is automatically compensated by the spring deformation, so that the conical sealing plug 43 and the conical section of the through cavity 41 are always kept in a pressed state, thereby maintaining the sealing performance for a long time, avoiding the wear and aging of the sealing plug that weakens the sealing effect, and preventing liquid from entering the rotating shaft. The bearing shell 3 is placed in the sleeve 44, the joint body 45 is placed in the external threaded ring 46, and the external threaded ring 46 is rotated to thread the sleeve 44. The external threaded ring 46 pushes the joint body 45 to fill the groove 45 with interference, thereby fixing the bearing shell 3. The bearing shell 3 can be further fixed to the bearing seat 4 through the mounting hole 34 with screws, so as to facilitate the removal and installation of the bearing shell 3. The combined use of the convex trapezoidal outer ring 32 and the trapezoidal inner ring 21 reduces the friction of the sleeve 2 and the wear caused by the relative rotation of the sleeve 2 and the bearing shell 3. The convex trapezoidal raceway 222 can improve the anti-skew ability of the bearing. The use of lubricant 23, Cr-Ni alloy and cobalt-chromium tungsten carbide further reduces the friction of the sleeve 2, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the sleeve 2 and the bearing shell 3, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the stability of the roller system.
