Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cooling of aircraft engine bearings, and in particular to a ball bearing with a spiral cooling structure and a bearing cooling and lubricating method. Background Art

[0002] High-speed rolling bearings in aircraft engines require lubrication and cooling with lubricating oil. In actual operation, only a very small amount of lubricating oil inside the bearing will enter the contact area to form a lubricating oil film, and most of the other lubricating oil is mainly used for cooling, and the heat generated by the bearing is carried away through convection heat transfer.

[0003] At present, the existing bearing cooling methods have developed from traditional single jet lubrication to under-ring lubrication or under-ring / jet combined lubrication. Both cooling methods are "lubricating oil outflow cooling", where the lubricating oil flows through the surface of the bearing parts and cools the bearings through convective heat transfer. Among them, under-ring lubrication is a lubrication method that sends lubricating oil into the bearing through the oil supply hole of the inner ring of the bearing. Compared with jet lubrication, under-ring lubrication has better lubrication and cooling effects. However, both under-ring lubrication and jet lubrication will cause large-scale retention of lubricating oil liquid in the bearing cavity. When the rolling element runs at high speed in this oil environment, it will produce significant fluid viscous friction such as oil stirring and dragging, which will increase the heat generation of the bearing and increase the cooling and heat transfer load. As advanced engines develop towards high intake temperature and high turbine pre-gas temperature, the ultra-high temperature and gas environment faced by bearings have seriously exceeded the current tolerance; at the same time, the variable operating conditions of variable cycle engines, the improvement of thrust-to-weight ratio, and the control of rotor vibration require the development of revolutionary new bearing structures and cooling solutions.

[0004] In response to the above situation, Germany's MTU Engine Company has developed an "external ring cooling technology". The lubricating oil that enters the bearing through the oil supply hole under the ring is mainly used to meet the cooling and lubrication of the inner ring and rolling elements. The outer ring cooling is completed by the oil supply channel surrounded by the outer diameter surface of the outer ring. This part of the lubricating oil does not enter the inside of the bearing, so the lubricating oil flow entering the bearing can be appropriately reduced, thereby reducing the fluid viscous friction loss of the bearing. However, the defect of this technology is that the lubricating oil groove for the separate cooling of the outer ring is arranged on the outer diameter surface of the outer ring, resulting in the inability to effectively control the bearing structure temperature. At the same time, the bearing fluid viscous friction loss is high, that is, the bearing cooling and lubrication effect is not ideal. The invention patent "A ball bearing with a cooling structure and a bearing cooling and lubrication method" (patent number CN202210177014.5) discloses a ball bearing with a cooling structure and a bearing cooling and lubrication method. The ball bearing includes a ball bearing inner ring, a retaining frame and a ball bearing outer ring arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The interior of the ball bearing outer ring is provided with a multi-channel annular cooling flow channel. During the research process, the temperature of the structure is relatively high. The spiral cooling structure proposed in the present invention has better cooling performance than the multi-channel structure. Specifically, the maximum temperature of the fluid domain, i.e., the lubricating oil, and the maximum temperature of the solid domain, i.e., the outer ring of the bearing have been reduced. Under given working conditions, the maximum temperature of the fluid domain of the spiral cooling structure has dropped by 15.5%, and the maximum temperature of the solid domain has dropped by 2.2%. Summary of the invention

The width W of the bearing outer ring, the height h of the helix, and the length b of the flow channel of the cooling lubricating oil inlet satisfy the equation: .

[0010] The center line of the spiral cooling channel is tangent to a line, and the tangent is a straight line or an arc with the center of curvature of the outer ring channel as the center. When the tangent is a straight line, the distance c between the tangent of the center line of the spiral cooling channel and the center of curvature of the outer ring channel is the vertical distance between the straight line and the center of curvature of the outer ring channel; when the tangent is an arc, the distance c between the tangent of the center line of the spiral cooling channel and the center of curvature of the outer ring channel is the radius of the arc.

[0011] The radius r of the outer ring channel, the distance c between the tangent line of the spiral cooling channel centerline and the center of curvature of the outer ring channel, and the diameter d of the cooling channel cross section circle satisfy the inequality relationship: .

The length b of the cooling lubricating oil inlet flow channel and the cooling lubricating oil outlet flow channel is 5 mm. The center line of the spiral cooling flow channel is tangent to a straight line 14 mm away from the center of curvature of the outer ring channel. The number of spiral turns n of the spiral cooling flow channel is 3.5, and the pitch is equal and is 8.57 mm. The number of spiral turns n, the pitch a and the length b of the cooling lubricating oil inlet and outlet channels of the spiral cooling channel are set according to actual needs, so as to achieve efficient cooling of the bearing outer ring 103 .
