Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of self-lubricating bearing processing, and particularly to a surface treatment process capable of improving the lubricity of self-lubricating bearings. Background Art
[0002] Self-lubricating bearings can operate without manual lubrication for a long time, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time. Due to the inclusion of solid lubricants in the material, self-lubricating bearings can reduce the friction coefficient, thereby extending the service life of the bearings. Self-lubricating bearings perform well in environments with large temperature variations (high and low), humidity changes, and are suitable for harsh working conditions. The low-friction characteristics of self-lubricating bearings contribute to reducing the operating noise of equipment, especially playing an important role in new energy vehicles and precision machinery. Self-lubricating bearings simplify the design and mechanical structure, reducing the need for equipment downtime for maintenance. Self-lubricating bearings do not require waste oil treatment, which is beneficial to environmental protection. Self-lubricating bearings can reduce the cleanliness of oil pipes and the safety level of lubrication. Self-lubricating bearings can be used without installing special lubrication equipment, greatly reducing the installation and usage costs. Self-lubricating bearings can meet the special lubrication requirements in some special environments and are suitable for environments without air and water penetration. The product structure of self-lubricating bearings can meet user requirements, having a certain space and weight, and offering greater flexibility in design.
[0003] With the development of industry, the demand for bearings is increasing, and the bearing life has attracted more and more attention. In production, many bearings are prone to damage and require frequent grinding and repair, seriously affecting the production progress and product quality. Therefore, people perform surface treatment on bearings to improve their own lubricity.
[0004] However, the traditional surface treatment process has the following disadvantages:
[0005] During the process of treating self-lubricating bearings with the traditional surface treatment process, after the coating material is coated on the bearing surface, it needs to wait for a period of time until the coating material is firmly fixed on the surface of the self-lubricating bearing before the next processing of the self-lubricating bearing can be carried out, reducing the processing efficiency of the self-lubricating bearing. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment process capable of improving the lubricity of self-lubricating bearings, so as to solve the problem that in the process of treating self-lubricating bearings with the traditional surface treatment process, after the coating material is coated on the bearing surface, it needs to wait for a period of time until the coating material is firmly fixed on the surface of the self-lubricating bearing before the next processing of the self-lubricating bearing can be carried out, reducing the processing efficiency of the self-lubricating bearing.

Equipment preparation: Before starting the cleaning operation, ensure that the ultrasonic cleaning equipment is in normal working condition, check whether the ultrasonic generator and transducer are normal, and confirm that there are no foreign objects in the cleaning tank; S2. Working fluid preparation: According to the characteristics and requirements of the cleaning object, select an appropriate cleaning fluid, usually a specially designed cleaning agent, to ensure its coordination with the vibration of the ultrasonic wave to improve the cleaning effect. When preparing the liquid, accurately configure the concentration and temperature according to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer; S3. Sample preparation: Place the self-lubricating bearing to be cleaned into the cleaning tank, ensure that there is no residual substance on the surface of the self-lubricating bearing to prevent affecting the cleaning effect, and reasonably arrange the position of the sample to ensure that the ultrasonic wave covers the entire cleaning surface; S4. Equipment adjustment: According to the nature of the cleaning object, adjust the frequency, power, and working time of the ultrasonic wave.
