[0028] The elastic foil gas bearing and the transmission device provided by the present invention are explained and illustrated in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.
[0029] This embodiment specifically discloses an elastic foil gas bearing, which is used to be sleeved on a matching shaft journal 7, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a bearing ring 1, an elastic foil gas bearing body 4 and a rotating jet device 10. The elastic foil gas bearing body 4 is sleeved and fitted on the outer side of the journal 7. The elastic foil gas bearing body 4 includes a bottom arch foil 42 and a top foil 41. The top foil 41 is in an arc shape. Multiple top foils 41 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the journal 7 and fit on the journal 7. The adjacent top foils 41 are spaced to form gaps. There are also multiple gaps on the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, and the number of gaps is the same as the number of top foils 41. The outer side of each top foil 41 is supported by a bottom arch foil 42. The bottom arch foil 42 is fixedly connected to the top foil 41, and the two ends of the bottom arch foil 42 do not exceed the two ends of the top foil 41.
[0030] The bearing ring 1 is sleeved and fixed on the outer side of the elastic foil gas bearing body 4. In this embodiment, the inner side refers to the side close to the central axis of the elastic foil gas bearing, and the outer side refers to the side away from the central axis of the elastic foil gas bearing. Figure 1 , 2As shown in FIG. 4 , the bottom arch foil 42 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing ring 1, and one end of the top foil 41 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing ring 1, and the fixing method can be welding or riveting. A rotating jet device installation groove is provided on the side wall (i.e., the inner ring) of the bearing ring 1 facing the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, for installing the rotating jet device; the notch of the rotating jet device installation groove is directly opposite to the gap on the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, so that the gas can be sprayed toward the journal through the notch and the gap. Preferably, the number of the rotating jet device installation grooves is the same as the number of the gaps and corresponds one to one, and the journal can be sprayed symmetrically. The rotating jet device 10 is rotatably arranged in the rotating jet device installation groove, and a jet channel 20 is provided on the rotating jet device 10. An air bleed channel 15 is provided at the position corresponding to the rotating jet device installation groove on the bearing ring 1. The air bleed channel 15 is connected to the jet channel 20 and is used to introduce a high-pressure airflow into the jet channel 20. The direction of the high-pressure airflow sprayed from the jet channel 20 to the journal 7 is adjusted by rotating the rotating jet device 10 in the rotating jet device installation groove. That is, by rotating the rotary jet device 10, the angle between the jet channel 20 and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft neck 7 can be adjusted, and the direction of the high-pressure airflow blowing toward the shaft neck is adjusted, so that the airflow flow speed on the rotor surface is reduced, disrupting the flow originally in a turbulent state, and effectively increasing the stability of the bearing-rotor system.
[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the rotary jet device 10 includes a jet cylinder 2 and an air guide fan-shaped block 3. One or more air guide fan-shaped blocks 3 are fixed axially on the side wall of the jet cylinder 2, and the center of the air guide fan-shaped block 3 is fixedly connected to the jet cylinder 2. When there are multiple air guide fan-shaped blocks 3, a distance is maintained between adjacent air guide fan-shaped blocks 3. The jet cylinder 2 is provided with a jet through hole 21 along the diameter direction of the jet cylinder 2. The jet through hole 21 penetrates the jet cylinder 2 in the diameter direction of the jet cylinder 2. The air guide hole 31 is provided on the air guide fan-shaped block 3 along the radial direction of the air guide fan-shaped block 3. The air guide hole 31 and the jet through hole 21 are connected to form a jet channel 20; as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, each air guide sector block 3 is provided with an air guide hole 31, and each corresponding air guide sector block 3 is provided with an air jet through hole 21 on the air jet cylinder 2. The air jet through hole 21 and the air guide hole 31 form an air jet channel 20. The air jet channel 20 can be a straight line or a broken line, preferably Figure 4 The straight line shown.
[0032] Preferably, the rotary jet device 10 is provided with a plurality of jet channels 20 along the axial direction of the bearing ring 1, that is, a plurality of air guide fan-shaped blocks 3 are fixed along the axial direction on the side wall of the jet cylinder 2 to increase the jet flow rate. Moreover, the flow rate of the high-pressure airflow can be adjusted according to the number of jet channels 20 selected for jetting the high-pressure airflow.
[0033] like Figure 1 ,2 As shown in FIG. 4 , the installation groove of the rotating jet device includes a cylindrical groove 11 arranged along the axial direction of the bearing ring 1 and a fan-shaped groove 12 arranged along the circumference of the bearing ring 1. The notch of the installation groove of the rotating jet device is opened on the cylindrical groove 11. The cylindrical groove 11 is provided with a strip opening as a notch along the axial direction on one side of the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, so that the cylindrical groove 11 is connected with the gap on the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, ensuring that the airflow ejected from the jet through hole 21 can be sprayed toward the journal 7 through the gap. The number of the fan-shaped grooves 12 is the same as the number of the air-guiding fan-shaped blocks 3 on the jet cylinder 2, and the fan-shaped grooves 12 and the cylindrical grooves 11 intersect and are connected; the jet cylinder 2 is rotatably arranged in the cylindrical groove 11 to drive the air-guiding fan-shaped blocks 3 to rotate in the fan-shaped groove 12; the jet cylinder 2 plays the role of a rotating shaft at this time, and the jet cylinder 2 rotates around its own axis.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, an air inlet channel 15 is provided at a position corresponding to the fan-shaped groove 12 on the bearing ring 1, and the air inlet channel 15 is connected to the air guide hole 31. Figure 1-4 As shown, an inwardly extending air duct 14 is provided on the outer wall of the bearing ring 1 for connecting to a high-pressure air source. A plurality of jet holes 13 are provided along the radial direction of the fan-shaped groove 12 on the bearing ring 1 along the circumferential side wall of the fan-shaped groove 12. The air duct 14 penetrates all the jet holes 13 from the side and is connected to all the jet holes 13 to form an air duct channel 15. When the bearing is in use, it is necessary to connect an external high-pressure air source through the air duct 14 to introduce the high-pressure airflow. When the air guide sector block 3 is rotated by the jet cylinder 2, the air guide hole 31 on the air guide sector block 3 is selectively connected to a jet hole 13 on the fan-shaped groove 12, so that the jet channel 20 is connected to the air duct channel 15, and the jet through hole 21 is connected to the gap, that is, the airflow can be sprayed toward the journal 7 through the gap. As shown Figure 4 As shown, the multiple jet holes 13 on the bearing ring 1 are all arranged radially along the fan-shaped groove. When the jet cylinder 2 and the air-guiding fan-shaped block 3 rotate, the jet through hole 21, the air-guiding hole 31 and one of the jet holes 13 can be connected, and the high-pressure airflow is sprayed onto the journal 7. Through the rotation of the jet cylinder 2 and the air-guiding fan-shaped block 3, the angle between the axial direction of the jet through hole 21 and the outer circumferential surface of the journal 7 is different, that is, the airflow direction is adjusted, so that the airflow speed on the rotor surface is reduced, disrupting the flow originally in a turbulent state, and effectively increasing the stability of the bearing-rotor system.
[0035] Optionally, the axes of the multiple jet holes 13 arranged on the bearing ring 1 are along the radial direction of the fan-shaped groove 12, including the jet holes 13 pointing to the central axis of the bearing ring, the jet holes 13 deviating to the left from the central axis of the bearing ring, and the jet holes 13 deviating to the right from the central axis of the bearing ring. When the air guide fan block 3 is rotated by the jet cylinder 2, the jet through hole 21 and the air guide holes 31 on the air guide fan block 3 are respectively connected with the jet holes 13 pointing to the central axis of the bearing ring, the jet holes 13 deviating to the left from the central axis of the bearing ring, or the jet holes 13 deviating to the right from the central axis of the bearing ring, which will produce different jet effects.
[0036] Optionally, the circumference of the fan-shaped arc of the air guide sector block 3 is greater than twice the circumference covered by all the jet holes 13. Preferably, the jet holes 13 are arranged in the middle of the air guide sector block 3. When the circumference of the fan-shaped arc of the air guide sector block 3 is greater than twice the circumference covered by the jet holes 13, when the air guide holes 31 on the air guide sector block 3 are aligned with the rightmost jet hole 13, the left edge of the air guide sector block 3 can just cover the leftmost jet hole 13, avoiding gas leakage and achieving a good anti-leakage effect, and the same is true in the opposite direction.
[0037] Preferably, the bearing ring 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of rotating jet device installation grooves along the circumferential direction, and the number of the rotating jet devices 10 is the same as the number of the rotating jet device installation grooves. More preferably, the number of the rotating jet devices 10 and the rotating jet device installation grooves is the same as the number of gaps on the elastic foil gas bearing body 4.
[0038] Preferably, if Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the cylindrical groove 11 runs through the axial direction of the bearing ring 1, and a plurality of air guide fan-shaped blocks 3 are fixed on the air injection cylinder 2 along the axial direction to increase the flow rate of the air flow.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to drive the jet cylinder 2, the elastic foil gas bearing of the present application also includes a driving device, which is connected to the jet cylinder 2 through a transmission device, and is used to drive the jet cylinder 2 to rotate around its own axis. Optionally, the transmission device includes a sector gear 5 and an inner gear ring 6 meshing with the sector gear 5, the center of the sector gear 5 is fixedly connected to the jet cylinder 2, the sector gear 5 is fixed to the side wall of the jet cylinder 2, and the inner gear ring 6 is fixed to the end face of the bearing ring 1. The driving device can be a motor, and the motor is connected to the inner gear ring 6 to drive the inner gear ring 6 to rotate, thereby driving the jet cylinder 2 to rotate. The sector gear 5 and the jet cylinder 2 are connected by welding or splines. The number of the inner gear ring 6 is one, the number of the sector gears 5 is the same as the number of the jet cylinders 2 and is connected one-to-one, and the driving device can drive all the jet cylinders to rotate at the same time.
[0040] The transmission device can also be a gear transmission device or a worm gear transmission device.
[0041] Optionally, the transmission device includes a sector gear 5 and a worm meshing with the sector gear 5. The driving device is a motor, and the motor output shaft is connected to the worm to drive the worm to rotate, thereby driving the jet cylinder 2 to rotate.
[0042] Working principle of the elastic foil gas bearing of the embodiment of the present application:
[0043] When the bearing is working, the air inlet holes 14 arranged on the outer side of the bearing ring 1 are connected to the external high-pressure air source, thereby introducing the high-pressure airflow; the driving device drives the jet cylinder 2 and the air guide fan block 3 to rotate through the transmission device, and a plurality of jet holes 13 are radially opened on the circumferential side wall of the fan-shaped groove 12. When the air guide fan block 3 is rotated by the jet cylinder 2, the air guide holes 31 on the air guide fan block 3 are selectively connected with one of the jet holes 13 on the fan-shaped groove 12, and the jet hole 13 is connected with the air inlet holes 14. The high-pressure airflow enters the jet hole 13 from the air inlet holes 14 and then enters the air guide holes 31, and finally is ejected from the jet through hole 21 on the jet cylinder 2, and is sprayed onto the shaft neck 7 through the notch of the rotating jet device mounting groove and the gap on the elastic foil gas bearing body 4, which can have a cooling effect on the shaft neck 7. When the jet direction is oblique (i.e., not perpendicular to the circumferential surface of the journal), the oblique airflow can reduce the airflow velocity on the rotor surface, disrupting the airflow that was originally in a turbulent state, and effectively increasing the stability of the bearing-rotor system, especially when the jet direction is opposite to the bearing rotation direction. The effect is particularly obvious. The bearing ring 1 is provided with a plurality of jet holes 13, and when the air guide sector block 3 rotates, the connection between the air duct and the jet channel can be ensured, and the direction of the jet airflow can be effectively adjusted.
[0044] The elastic foil gas bearing of the present application has the following advantages:
[0045] 1. The bearing ring of the present invention is provided with a rotatable rotary jet device, which can spray airflow toward the shaft neck. When the rotary jet device rotates, the direction of the airflow sprayed toward the shaft neck can be adjusted, so that the airflow flow speed on the rotor surface is reduced, disrupting the flow originally in a turbulent state, and effectively increasing the stability of the bearing-rotor system.
[0046] 2. The ingenious design of the air-guiding fan-shaped block and the fan-shaped groove of the present invention, especially the fan-shaped arc circumference of the air-guiding fan-shaped block is greater than twice the circumference covered by the jet hole. The injection direction of the airflow on the rotor surface can be adjusted with a simple and reliable structure, and the adjustment range is wider.
