[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a design method for a lubricating oil circulation system for bearing heat dissipation.

[0054] (1) Theoretical analysis of bearing heat generation: Complete the theoretical analysis of bearing heat generation to obtain the bearing heat generation calculation process.

[0055] (2) Compilation of bearing heat generation model: According to the bearing heat generation theoretical analysis calculation process, use submodeleditor in AMESim software to compile the bearing heat generation calculation submodel to provide heat input data for subsequent simulations.

[0056] (3) One-dimensional lubricating oil circulation system simulation modeling: Establish a one-dimensional system-level simulation model in AMESim, and define the system-level input, output, dynamic behavior, and interaction parameters.

[0057] (4) Three-dimensional bearing component simulation modeling: Build a three-dimensional simulation model of bearing cavity fluid heat transfer in STAR-CCM+, and define the inlet and outlet conditions, operating parameters, and interaction parameters, etc.

[0058] (5) Run the simulation.

[0059] In this embodiment, (1) Theoretical analysis of bearing heat generation

[0060] The research object of this patent is a centripetal short cylindrical roller bearing, and the heat generation consists of the following four parts:

[0061] ① When the roller revolves around the bearing center along the raceway between the inner and outer rings, sliding friction heat will be generated between the roller and the raceway;

[0062] ② While the roller is revolving, it will rotate accordingly inside the pocket of the cage. When the roller rotates, sliding friction heat will be generated;

[0063] ③ Sliding friction heat will be generated between the two end faces of the roller and the side faces of the rib of the bearing ring;

[0064] ④ Sliding friction heat will be generated between the bottom of the bearing cage and the guiding surface for the inner ring.

[0065] To remove the frictional heat of the bearing, when the bearing operates normally under lubricating oil lubrication conditions, hydrodynamic resistance losses will be generated. The hydrodynamic resistance losses are specifically composed of the following four parts:

[0066] ① At the inlet of the contact area between the roller and the raceway, the roller has rotation and revolution, and the lubricating oil is pumped in and the shear force generates hydrodynamic resistance losses;

[0067] ② At the inlet of the contact area between the rolling element and the pocket of the cage, the liquid is pumped in and the shear force generates hydrodynamic resistance losses;

[0068] ③ Losses generated by the fluid viscous shear force between the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the cage and the guiding surfaces of the inner and outer rings;

[0069] ④ At the interface between the roller and the gas-liquid two-phase fluid inside the bearing cavity, hydrodynamic resistance losses are accompanied.

[0070] The calculation formula for the frictional heat generation power is:

[0071] Q f =C1ZρL 2 u 3 β′ (1)

[0072] The calculation formula for the hydrodynamic resistance losses is:

[0073] Q l =C2ZρL 2 u 3 β′ (2)

[0074] Therefore, the calculation formula for the total frictional heat generation power of the bearing is:

[0075] Q bfr =CZρL 2 u 3 β′ (3)

[0076] In the above formulas, C1 is the bearing friction coefficient, Z is the number of rollers, ρ is the density of the lubricating oil used, L is the effective length of the rollers, u is the circumferential speed of the bearing cage, β′ is the influence coefficient of the radial clearance on the power loss, C2 is the bearing hydrodynamic resistance coefficient, and C = C1 + C2 is the total bearing friction coefficient.

[0077] The calculation method of the total bearing friction coefficient is as follows:

[0078] ① Calculate the circumferential speed u of the bearing cage:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula: D m (unit: m) is the pitch diameter of the short cylindrical roller bearing, D b (unit: m) is the diameter of the roller, and n (unit: r / min) is the bearing speed.

[0081] ② Calculate the Prandtl number Pr of the lubricating oil:

[0082] Pr = Cn ρ v / k (5)

[0083] ③ Calculate the Reynolds number Re:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, Re is the Reynolds number of the lubricating oil flow calculated with the circumferential speed of the bearing cage as the characteristic speed and the roller length as the characteristic dimension. L (unit: m) is the effective length of the short cylindrical roller, v (unit: m 2 / s) is the kinematic viscosity of the lubricating oil, ρ (unit: kg / m 3 ) is the density, k (unit: W / K / m) is the thermal conductivity, and C p is the specific heat capacity with the selected qualitative temperature as the lubricating oil outlet temperature.

[0086] ④ Calculate the centrifugal force F of the roller c (unit: daN):

[0087] F c = 1.225×10 3 ×(L 2 u 3 / D m ) (7)

[0088] ⑤ Calculate the average load F acting on the roller busbar cp (unit: daN):

[0089] F cp = (2.9F r + ZFc ) / 2Z (8)

[0090] In the formula, F r (unit: daN) is the radial load of the bearing, and Z is the number of short cylindrical rollers.

[0091] ⑥ Calculate the Euler coefficient Eu:

[0092] Eu = 10F cp / ρ(uL) 2 (9)

[0093] ⑦ Calculate the total resistance coefficient C:

[0094] C = 1.26Re -0.5 Eu 0.5 Pr 0 +46.5×10 3 Re -1 Pr -0.8 (10)

[0095] ⑧ The radial clearance of the bearing will have a certain impact on the heat generation power, and a coefficient needs to be multiplied for correction in the heat generation power calculation. Its loss influence coefficient is expressed as β, and the calculation formula is:

[0096] β = 1 + 1.7(0.1 - h) (11)

[0097] Where h (unit: mm) is the radial clearance matched by the bearing.

[0098] In this embodiment, (2) Compilation of the bearing heat generation model

[0099] When compiling the bearing heat generation calculation sub - model using AMESim, it is necessary to determine various data in the model. Generally speaking, the sub - model data is divided into four types:

[0100] ① P: Structural parameters, generally the model structure size parameters;

[0101] ② V0: Input parameters, that is, the parameters that need to be input or introduced into the model;

[0102] ③ V1: Output parameters, that is, the parameters that the model needs to output;

[0103] ④ V2: Internal parameters, that is, the parameters for internal calculation in the model.

[0104] The relationship of the sub - model parameters of the AMESim software is as Figure 2 shown:

[0105] In the present invention, the various data are respectively:

[0106] ① P: D m(Unit: m) Pitch diameter of the short cylindrical roller bearing, D r (Unit: m) Diameter of the roller, L (Unit: m) is the effective length of the short cylindrical roller, Z is the number of short cylindrical rollers, h (Unit: mm) is the radial clearance matched by the bearing

[0107] ② V0: Rs (Unit: r / min) Bearing speed, F r (Unit: daN) Radial load of the bearing, nu (Unit: cst) Kinematic viscosity of the lubricating oil, rho (Unit: g / cm 3 ) Density, k (Unit: W / K / m) Thermal conductivity, Cp (Unit: J / kg / K) Specific heat capacity at the selected qualitative temperature of the lubricating oil outlet temperature

[0108] ③ V1: Q (Unit: W) Total heat generation power of bearing friction

[0109] ④ V2: Circumferential speed v of the bearing cage, Prandtl number Pr of the lubricating oil, Reynolds number Re, centrifugal force Fc (Unit: daN) of the roller, average load Fcp (Unit: daN) on the roller bus, Euler coefficient Eu, total resistance coefficient f, loss influence coefficient denoted as beta

Through one-dimensional simulation for the rapid analysis of the overall flow field, and then combined with three-dimensional simulation to accurately simulate the temperature distribution in the bearing area and its complex heat load characteristics, the optimization of the lubricating oil flow path and the improvement of the heat transfer performance are achieved. This method can greatly improve the design efficiency while maintaining a high design accuracy, providing effective support for the development and iteration of the cooling system.
