[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rolling composite bearing load calculation, in particular to a composite bearing load calculation method taking into account ring deformation. Background Art
[0002] Composite bearings are one-piece bearings, mainly composed of a common outer ring, rolling elements and multiple separate inner rings. Composite bearings are equivalent to the combination of ball bearings and roller bearings, so they can withstand radial loads, axial loads and moment loads at the same time. Compared with ordinary bearings, composite bearings have high structural integration, complex loads, and high manufacturing and assembly requirements. However, in specific areas, such as the bearing under the rotating early warning radar antenna cover, it is necessary to use a high-composite bearing to better meet various performance requirements and ensure the stability and reliability of the machine.
[0003] A certain type of early warning aircraft carries an ellipsoidal rotatable early warning radar antenna cover (referred to as the rotatable cover), which is fixed on the skirt section of the bracket through upper and lower bearings. The rotating upper and lower bearings are key components to achieve its rotation and load transmission. At present, my country's lower bearing adopts a combination of double-row spherical roller bearings + four-point angular contact ball bearings, but the design life of the lower bearing assembly is low, and there is a large gap from the required flight life. To address this problem, a high-composite bearing composed of a bearing seat, a full-fill rolling bearing (full-fill double-row angular contact ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings), a self-aligning self-lubricating spherical bearing, a retaining ring, etc. is proposed. Due to the complex structure, it is very difficult to perform static analysis on it. From the existing technical methods, it is difficult to accurately express the load analysis of the high-composite bearing when considering the deformation of the thin-walled ring. Summary of the invention

[0011] Step 3: Calculate the Hertz contact deformation under the condition of rigid ring loading; When analyzing the roller array, in order to consider the influence of roller inclination on the contact state, the slices are discretized along the roller generatrix, and the thickness of a single slice is 2ω=l e / N(l e is the effective length of the roller, N represents the number of discrete slices), according to the Hertz contact theory, the contact deformation between the roller slice unit and the raceway is: in Where: l e is the effective length of the roller, 1 λ is the distance from the slice center to the left end of the roller, is the axial displacement caused by the inclination of the roller center, c λ is the modification amount of the roller at the center of the slice unit, is the radial clearance between the roller and the raceway; When analyzing the steel ball row, it is assumed that the outer ring is fixed and the distance between the inner and outer groove curvature centers at any position before the bearing is loaded is A, A = (f i +f e -1)D w , the total contact deformation of the steel ball and the inner and outer rings at any position ψ after the bearing is loaded is equal to the center distance S of the groove curvature after displacement ψ The difference from the original center distance A, that is: δ ψ =S ψ -A S ψ =[(Asinα 0 +δ a +R i θcosψ-u a ) 2 +(Acosα 0 +δ r cosψ-u r ) 2 ] 1 / 2
[0012] Step 4: Calculate the contact deformation caused by the deformation of the ferrule; Bending deformation of bearing ring According to the plane bending theory of thin-walled ring, the differential equation of radial flexural deformation of the ring at any azimuth angle φ is: The thin-walled ring produces a small deflection deformation under the action of external force.

[0015] Step 7: Verify the reliability of the combined force of each row of rolling elements and the external load on the bearing:
[0016] Test verification: Taking a three-row rolling element composite bearing with two rows of balls and a row of rollers in the middle as an example, the load distribution inside the bearing under certain working conditions is calculated based on the static model established by the present invention. The bearing parameters are as follows: As shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
[0017] A 300KN radial load is applied to the center section of the roller row. Finite element and programming are used to calculate and analyze the bearing load for both the case where the ring deformation is not considered and the case where the ring deformation is considered. The verification results are as follows: Figure 4-6 As shown: When the left (right) row bearings do not consider the deformation of the ring, the No. 1 rolling element bears a maximum load of 7123.25N. When the deformation of the ring is considered, the No. 2 rolling element bears a maximum load of 7107.76N. The loads of the No. 2-14 rolling elements increase slightly, and the loads of the No. 67-78 rolling elements decrease. When the ring deformation is not considered, the No. 1 rolling element of the middle row bearings bears a maximum load of 5865.29N. When the ring deformation is considered, the No. 2 rolling element bears a maximum load of 5846.36N. The loads of the No. 2-21 rolling elements increase slightly, and the loads of the No. 62-80 rolling elements decrease. Therefore, it can be known that considering the deformation of the ring can change the position of the maximum load of the rolling element and reduce the maximum load of the rolling element. The overall load of the rolling element in the bearing changes. The influence of the ring deformation cannot be ignored when performing load analysis on thin-walled ring bearings.
[0018] It should be noted that although the scheme described in the present invention is described through the above-mentioned embodiments, there may be other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it is obvious that those skilled in the art may make various corresponding changes and deformations to the present invention, but these changes and deformations should all fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention and their equivalents.
