AI Technical Summary
The cemented carbide wear-resistant layer of existing TC bearings is brittle, has poor impact resistance, and its wear resistance cannot meet production requirements, resulting in a short service life of the bearing.

It minimizes friction, extends the service life of TC bearings, reaches more than 10 times, saves steel, improves drilling production efficiency, and reduces production costs.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bearing processing, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a radial TC bearing for oil drilling. Background Art
[0002] TC bearings are composed of a moving ring (small ring) and a stationary ring (large ring). The moving ring and the stationary ring are put together and start to work when they rotate. When working, the two hard alloy wear-resistant layers of the moving and stationary rings rotate and rub. This kind of friction belongs to sliding friction. Due to friction, the gap between the two hard alloy working friction surfaces of the moving and stationary rings becomes larger and larger than the standard required by production. This set of TC bearings is no longer used and should be replaced with new TC bearings.
[0003] The current production of TC bearings is insufficient; the key to the quality of TC bearings lies in the carbide layer, which is required to be as wear-resistant as possible and also resistant to impact. The wear-resistant layer is made of carbide, which is brittle and has poor impact resistance, and its wear resistance is far from meeting the production requirements. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a radial TC bearing for oil drilling.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for manufacturing a radial TC bearing for oil drilling, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 3: Seal the lower end of the ball and roller hole and put the ball or roller in;
[0009] Step 4: After the balls or rollers are placed in, seal the upper end of the ball and roller holes;
[0010] Step 5: Process the dynamic coil structure according to the construction standards of the drawings;
[0011] Step 6: Put the stationary ring structure on the outside of the moving ring structure to form a TC bearing.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the step 2, the ball roller hole is a vertical through hole, and the central axis direction of the ball roller hole is parallel to the central axis direction of the stationary ring structure.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the spacing between adjacent ball roller holes is 8mm to 10mm, and they are evenly arranged in a circular array on the inner side of the annular groove of the stationary ring structure; the cross-section of the ball roller hole is a circular structure, the diameter of the ball roller hole is punched according to the diameter of the ball and roller, and the diameter of the ball roller hole does not exceed the size required by the inner diameter drawing of the stationary ring structure, and the outer diameter of the ball roller hole must be consistent with the annular groove surface of the stationary ring structure.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step three, the bottom end of the ball roller hole is sealed by welding, and the bottom end and inner wall of the stationary ring structure are polished after welding to keep the sealed area of the bottom end of the ball roller hole smooth.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the step three, the length of the sealed area at the bottom end of the ball and roller hole does not exceed 5 mm. After sealing, the balls or rollers are inserted from the top of the ball and roller hole. The balls or rollers are inserted adjacent to each other up and down, and multiple balls or rollers are inserted. After the insertion is completed, a space of no more than 5 mm is reserved on the upper part of the balls or rollers for sealing in step four.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step four, the top of the ball roller hole is sealed by welding, and the top and inner wall of the stationary ring structure are polished after welding to keep the sealed area of the top of the ball roller hole smooth.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention changes the sliding friction of the cemented carbide friction surfaces of the stationary ring structure and the dynamic ring structure into rolling friction, and uses rolling friction instead of the sliding friction between the two, thereby minimizing the friction force of the friction working surface and extending the service life of the TC bearing to the maximum extent, which is more than 10 times longer than the current TC bearing life, saving steel for producing TC bearings, improving drilling production efficiency, and saving production costs.

[0021] Step 1: Process the static ring structure according to the construction standards of the drawing.
[0022] The stationary ring structure is processed according to the drawings. The stationary ring structure is processed from the stationary ring body steel and has an overall circular ring structure. An annular hard alloy wear-resistant layer is arranged on the inner side of the stationary ring body steel.
[0023] Step 2: Process the ball roller hole inside the annular groove of the stationary ring structure.
[0024] The ball roller hole is a vertical through hole, and the central axis direction of the ball roller hole is parallel to the central axis direction of the stationary ring structure; the spacing between adjacent ball roller holes is 8mm~10mm, and they are evenly arranged in a circular array on the inner side of the annular groove of the stationary ring structure; the cross-section of the ball roller hole is a circular structure, the diameter of the ball roller hole is punched according to the diameter of the ball and roller, and the diameter of the ball roller hole does not exceed the size required by the inner diameter drawing of the stationary ring structure, and the outer diameter of the ball roller hole must be consistent with the annular groove surface of the stationary ring structure.
[0025] The ball and roller holes are used to place balls or rollers, so that when the stationary ring structure and the moving ring structure are fitted together, the balls or rollers can be used to replace the friction between the two, thereby achieving the effect of reducing friction, thereby extending the service life of the TC bearing.
[0026] Step 3: Seal the lower end of the ball and roller hole and put the ball or roller in.

[0028] The lower end of the ball and roller hole is sealed and polished to ensure the smoothness of the contact surface and avoid the situation where it cannot be assembled with other equipment; the sealed ball and roller hole can prevent the ball or roller from falling off.
[0029] Step 4: After the balls or rollers are placed in, seal the upper ends of the ball and roller holes.
[0030] The top of the ball roller hole is sealed by welding, and the top and inner wall of the stationary ring structure are polished after welding to keep the sealed area of the top of the ball roller hole smooth.
[0031] Similarly, the upper end is sealed and polished to ensure the flatness of the contact surface, avoid additional friction, and avoid the situation where it cannot be assembled with other equipment; the upper and lower ends of the ball and roller holes are sealed to prevent the ball or roller from escaping from the hole.
[0032] Step 5: Process the dynamic coil structure according to the construction standards in the drawing.
[0033] The moving coil structure is processed from the moving coil body steel, and the overall structure is annular, and the outer side of the moving coil body steel is provided with an annular hard alloy wear-resistant layer. The length of the moving coil structure is the same as that of the static coil structure.
[0034] Step 6: Put the stationary ring structure on the outside of the moving ring structure to form a TC bearing.
