[0007] Furthermore, the flow route of the sea ripple bionic flow channel simulates the sea ripples and starts and ends at the two ends of the outer ring of the guide bearing, and the curvature of the streamline gradually increases from the axial middle to the two ends.

[0008] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the sea wave bionic flow channel simulates the sea wave changes in a semicircular shape, and the radius of the sea wave bionic flow channel gradually increases from the axial middle part to both ends of the guide bearing outer ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area and radius range of the sea ripple bionic flow channel depend on the diameter of the submersible motor shaft and the number of the sea ripple bionic flow channels, and are calculated and set according to the following formula: Q = 0.3D; Where, Q is the water supply (L / min); D is the shaft diameter (mm); Smin is the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel (mm 2 ); Smax is the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel (mm 2 ); Rmin is the minimum radius of the flow channel (mm); Rmax is the maximum radius of the flow channel (mm); N is the number of sea wave bionic flow channels.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of the sea ripple bionic flow channels is set according to the inner diameter of the guide bearing outer ring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] As shown in the accompanying drawings, this embodiment provides a sea wave bionic flow channel water-lubricated guide bearing for a water-filled submersible motor, including a guide bearing seat 1 for connecting to the submersible motor housing, a flange 8 is provided on the guide bearing seat 1, bolt holes are provided on the flange 8, and the guide bearing seat 1 is fixed to the submersible motor housing by bolts through the flange 8.

[0022] A guide bearing outer ring is installed in the bearing hole of the guide bearing seat 1, and the inner hole wall of the guide bearing outer ring is processed with a sea wave bionic flow channel 2. The flow route of the sea wave bionic flow channel 2 simulates the sea wave and starts and ends at the two ends of the guide bearing outer ring. The curvature of the streamline gradually increases from the axial middle to the two ends.

[0023] The cross-sectional shape of the sea wave bionic flow channel 2 simulates the sea wave and changes into a semicircular shape. The radius of the sea wave bionic flow channel 2 gradually increases from the axial middle part to both ends of the guide bearing outer ring.

[0024] The cross-sectional area and radius range of the sea ripple bionic flow channel 2 depend on the diameter of the submersible motor shaft and the number of sea ripple bionic flow channels 2, and are calculated and set according to the following formula: Q = 0.3D; Where, Q is the water supply (L / min); D is the shaft diameter (mm); Smin is the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel (mm 2 ); Smax is the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel (mm 2 ); Rmin is the minimum radius of the flow channel (mm); Rmax is the maximum radius of the flow channel (mm); N is the number of sea wave bionic flow channels.

[0025] The number of sea ripple bionic flow channels 2 is set according to the inner diameter of the guide bearing outer ring. When the inner diameter of the guide bearing outer ring is less than 100mm, the number of sea ripple bionic flow channels 2 is six. When the inner diameter of the guide bearing outer ring is above 100mm, the number of sea ripple bionic flow channels 2 increases by one for every increase of 15mm.

[0026] In order to further extend the service life, the guide bearing outer ring is configured to be composed of a first guide bearing outer ring 3 and a second guide bearing outer ring 4 with the same inner and outer diameters. The first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4 are transitionally matched with the bearing holes of the guide bearing seat 1 respectively, which can ensure the tightness of the fit without causing excessive deformation of the first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4.

[0027] A space is left between the first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4 in the axial direction, and a through hole 5 is radially arranged on the guide bearing seat 1 at the space corresponding to the first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4 to ensure that water flow can participate in lubrication through the through hole 5, and impurities can be discharged through the through hole 5, thereby reducing the wear of the impurities on the bearing and increasing the life of the bearing.

[0028] At the same time, it should be noted that the curvature and radius of the sea wave bionic flow channel 2 change by taking the first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4 as a whole, and gradually increase from between the first guide bearing outer ring 3 and the second guide bearing outer ring 4 to both ends.

[0029] A guide bearing inner ring is arranged inside the guide bearing outer ring, and a space is left between the guide bearing outer ring and the guide bearing inner ring. The guide bearing inner ring is sleeved on the submersible motor shaft and rotates simultaneously with the submersible motor shaft. When the submersible motor rotates, the water film between the guide bearing outer ring and the guide bearing inner ring supports the rotation of the submersible motor shaft.

[0030] The guide bearing inner ring includes a first guide bearing inner ring 6 and a second guide bearing inner ring 7 of the same diameter. The ends of the first guide bearing inner ring 6 and the second guide bearing inner ring 7 are tightly attached and shrink-fitted onto the submersible motor shaft respectively. The first guide bearing inner ring 6 and the second guide bearing inner ring 7 are respectively interference fit with the submersible motor shaft to ensure the tightness of the fit.

[0031] After installation, the outer circles of the first guide bearing inner ring 6 and the second guide bearing inner ring 7 need to be circularly ground to reduce the elliptical deformation of the thin-walled parts and the deformation caused by shrink fitting, so that the dimensional tolerance, shape and position tolerance and roughness reach the optimal state.

[0032] It should also be noted that after installation is completed, the water-filled submersible motor should be filled with water before it can be operated.

[0033] It can be understood that the above specific description of the present invention is only used to illustrate the present invention and is not limited to the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents to achieve the same technical effects; as long as the use requirements are met, they are within the protection scope of the present invention.
