Technical Field

[0002] In industrial production, bearings, as key components of mechanical equipment, directly affect the performance and lifespan of the equipment. For bearings operating in humid, water-rich or flushing-required environments, such as papermaking machinery, mining equipment, food processing machinery, etc., the waterproof performance of the bearing housing and the reliability of the lubrication system are crucial.
[0003] In the prior art, common sealing structures such as oil seals and labyrinth seals are prone to seal failure when facing high-pressure flushing or high-humidity environments, resulting in water and impurities invading the bearing housing, contaminating the lubricating oil, accelerating bearing wear. Although thin oil lubrication can provide good lubrication and heat dissipation effects, traditional systems lack effective waterproof designs. Once water enters, it will emulsify the lubricating oil, reducing the lubrication performance, and even causing bearing corrosion and jamming. After seal failure, lubricating oil and seals need to be frequently replaced, increasing downtime and maintenance costs, affecting production efficiency. Lubricating oil leakage may pollute the environment, and the treatment of water-containing lubricating oil also faces environmental protection pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0051] 2. Through the synergistic effect of the dynamic oil control and sealing components, a spiral-distributed W-shaped oil groove is opened on the shaft body. Combining with the throttling effect of the oil baffle ring and the oil retaining ring, a small amount of leaked oil is recovered to the lubrication system through centrifugal force and gravity, reducing oil waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, the labyrinth seal and the lip seal form multiple barriers, cooperating with the O-ring seal and the heat-resistant silicone-based sealant, significantly improving the overall sealing performance of the bearing housing and reducing the risk of oil leakage.
[0052] 3. The integrated lubrication system accurately distributes the oil volume through the grouped oil supply pumps, the plate-type oil cooler automatically controls the oil temperature, and the multi-stage filtration and oil-water separation device ensures the oil cleanliness, solving the problems of insufficient heat dissipation and easy emulsification of the oil in the traditional thin oil lubrication, reducing the operating temperature of the bearing and extending its service life.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0058] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides an embodiment: a thin oil sealed waterproof device for a bearing housing, including a roller body 20 and a bearing housing 10; and further including a waterproof structure, the waterproof structure including a water baffle ring 1 and a water throwing cover 2.
