Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bearing manufacturing, and specifically relates to a method for designing the structural parameters of a cage for a large cylindrical roller bearing. Background Technology

[0002] Large cylindrical roller bearings, such as the main bearings of tunnel boring machines, port machinery and tower crane slewing bearings, are large heavy-duty bearings with low operating speeds and large loads, and are widely used in heavy equipment and major equipment.

[0003] The cage plays a crucial role in large cylindrical roller bearings, limiting and guiding the movement of the rollers. It is a vital component ensuring the normal operation of large cylindrical roller bearings, and its structural parameters directly affect the operating condition and service life of the bearing. Furthermore, during the operation of large cylindrical roller bearings, the cage and cylindrical rollers are in contact, requiring a good matching relationship to ensure safe and reliable operation. Cages for large roller bearings include integral and segmented sector types. Large roller bearings (especially those with an outer diameter exceeding 3m) typically use segmented sector cages. The dimensional parameters of the cage directly affect the bearing's service life: firstly, the cage size determines the number of rollers, directly impacting the bearing's load-bearing capacity; secondly, if the dimensions of the crossbeam and transverse beam are inappropriate, the cage may be damaged due to insufficient strength. Therefore, the structural design of the cage is an extremely important step in the design process of large, heavy-duty bearings. Existing design methods for large roller bearing cages fail to adequately consider the bearing's operating conditions under complex working conditions, resulting in poor structural strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance of the cages, making them prone to wear, breakage, and other failures.

[0004] Patent CN102506075A discloses a split cage for self-aligning roller bearings and its design method. While it improves the cage structure by increasing the outer diameter and enhancing strength and reliability through splitting and connection, it primarily focuses on the design of split cages for self-aligning roller bearings. This differs significantly from the structural and design requirements of cages for large cylindrical roller bearings. It does not elaborate on the systematic design methods for key structural parameters such as crossbeams, transverse beams, and runout grooves in large cylindrical roller bearing cages, thus failing to meet the refined design needs of large cylindrical roller bearings under various complex operating conditions.

[0005] Patent CN103032470A discloses a design for a slotted bearing cage, focusing on the slotted structure and locking connection method to achieve axial, radial, and tangential fixation of the bearing cage section. However, this document does not mention the design method for the structural parameters of large cylindrical roller bearing cages, and is insufficient in terms of how to determine the various structural parameters of the cage based on the space constraints of the bearing, the parameters of the rollers, and the complex operating conditions to meet the load-bearing capacity and service life requirements of large cylindrical roller bearings.

[0006] Patent CN115952612A proposes a design method for key feature parameters of porous cages in space bearings. Based on fractal theory, it establishes a mathematical model between key feature parameters and the oil supply characteristics of the porous cage, primarily addressing the design problem of oil supply characteristics requirements for porous cages. However, it lacks comprehensive consideration for the structural parameters of cages in large cylindrical roller bearings, failing to clearly define detailed methods for determining the matching relationship between the cage and rollers, the structural parameters of the crossbeams and transverse beams, and how to ensure the overall operational stability and service life of large cylindrical roller bearings under complex working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for designing the structural parameters of a large cylindrical roller bearing cage. By obtaining the cage parameters through this method, the normal operation of the large cylindrical roller bearing can be guaranteed, its service life requirements can be met, and dimensional constraints can also be provided for the design of the bearing rings.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention is:

[0009] A method for designing the structural parameters of a large cylindrical roller bearing cage includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Determine the pitch circle diameter D0 of the cylindrical roller distribution;

[0011] Step 2: Determine the nominal diameter D of the cylindrical roller. w Nominal length L w And the number of rollers, i;

[0012] Step 3: Determine the number of cage segments N and the remaining circumferential arc length L;

[0013] Step 4: Determine the cage lintel parameters;

[0014] Step 4 (a): Determine the number of cage pockets n and the number of crossbeams a used to set the axial wear-reducing blocks;

[0015] Step 4 (II): Determine the width B of the cage lintel;

[0016] Step 4 (3): Determine the width B of the cage welding friction reduction block overbeam.weld ;

[0017] Step 5: Check the bearing life and safety factor. If the design requirements are not met, return to Step 3; if there is no N that meets the requirements, return to Step 2.

[0018] Step Six: Determine other structural parameters of the cage;

[0019] Step 6 (a), determine the width B of the cage beam. e ;

[0020] Step 6 (II): Determine the thickness B of the radial wear-reducing block of the cage. af ;

[0021] Step 6 (3): Determine the main body thickness H of the cage and the total thickness H1 of the cage;

[0022] Step 6 (iv): Determine the cage overrun groove parameters a, b, r u ;

[0023] Step 6 (5): Determine the cage pocket clearance d s and d e .

[0024] In the design method for the cage structure parameters of the large cylindrical roller bearing, in step one, the pitch circle diameter D0 of the cylindrical rollers is determined according to the spatial size constraints of the cylindrical roller bearing.

[0025] In the design method for the structural parameters of the cage of the large cylindrical roller bearing, in step two, the nominal diameter D of the cylindrical roller is... w Nominal length L w The number of roller columns i is selected according to the standard.

[0026] In the design method for the structural parameters of the large cylindrical roller bearing cage, in step three, the number of cage segments N is determined based on the processing capability, and the remaining circumferential arc length L is determined by the following formula;

[0027] L=k1D w

[0028] Where: k1 is a coefficient, with a value of 0.5 to 1.5.

[0029] In the design method for the structural parameters of the large cylindrical roller bearing cage, step four involves determining the cage's crossbeam parameters through the following steps:

[0030] Step 4(a), the segmented cage includes n pockets and a crossbeams for setting axial wear-reducing blocks, preferably a=3. The number of cage pockets n is determined by the following formula:

[0031]

[0032] The minimum lintel width B of the cage is initially determined using the following formula. min :

[0033] B min =-7+4.3ln(D) w -0.2), D w ∈[10,150]

[0034] The minimum beam width B is checked and analyzed using multibody dynamics or the finite element method. min The maximum stress condition of the cage is determined, and the maximum stress does not exceed the fatigue limit of the cage body material. The difference between the width of the axial wear-reducing block and the width of the ordinary crossbeam is δ, and δ = 10~15mm is selected.

[0035] Step 4 (2), the width of the lintel is determined by the following formula:

[0036]

[0037] Step 4 (3), set the width of the axial wear-reducing block's crossbeam to satisfy the following constraint:

[0038] B weld =B+δ.

[0039] In the design method for the cage structure parameters of the large cylindrical roller bearing, step five involves calculating the bearing life and verifying the rated static load of the bearing. If the bearing life or safety factor does not meet the design requirements, the process returns to step three to recalculate. If there is no cage segment number N that meets the requirements, the process returns to step two to recalculate until the bearing life and safety factor meet the design requirements.

[0040] In step six of the design method for the structural parameters of the large cylindrical roller bearing cage, other structural parameters of the cage are determined by the following method:

[0041] Step 6 (a), maintain the width B of the cage beam e The formula for determining it is:

[0042] B e = (1.1~1.5)B

[0043] Step 6 (II), retainer radial wear reduction block thickness B af The formula for determining it is:

[0044] B af = (0~1.5)B

[0045] Step 6 (3), the formula for determining the thickness of the cage body is:

[0046] H = (0.35 ~ 0.55)D w

[0047] For a cage with a straight pocket, the total cage thickness H1 = D w -(2~6); For the cage of the guide roller, the total thickness of the cage H1=H;

[0048] Step six (iv), the method for determining the parameters of the cage overrun groove is as follows: select the overrun groove type according to the machining capacity, and the parameters a, b, r u The selection should avoid interference between the cylindrical roller fillet radius R and the cage runout groove; where parameter a should be as small as possible, and parameter r... u Take a larger value to reduce stress concentration;

[0049] Step 6 (5), retain the side clearance d of the bracket pocket. s No more than 2mm, end face gap d e No more than 2mm.

[0050] The design concept of this invention is:

[0051] To address the issue that the design of large cylindrical roller bearing cages often fails to adequately consider complex operating conditions, resulting in suboptimal cage strength, wear resistance, and impact resistance, and making them prone to wear and breakage, this invention provides a novel method for designing the structural parameters of large cylindrical roller bearing cages. By systematically determining various structural parameters of the cage, the normal operation and service life requirements of large cylindrical roller bearings can be guaranteed.

[0052] This invention systematically and in detail designs the key structural parameters of the cage for large cylindrical roller bearings, taking into full account factors such as the spatial size limitations of the bearing, the parameters of the rollers, and the operating conditions. By using parametric design methods, the structural parameters of the cage are closely integrated with the performance requirements of the bearing.

[0053] During the design process, we not only focus on the structural strength and performance of the cage itself, but also pay attention to the matching relationship between the cage and the rollers. By accurately determining the structural parameters such as the crossbeam, crossbeam, and pocket, we optimize the load-bearing capacity and operational stability of the cage, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the entire bearing.

[0054] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0055] 1. This invention combines the structural parameter design of the cage and cylindrical rollers to ensure a good match between the cage and the cylindrical rollers, guaranteeing that the large cylindrical roller bearing has sufficient load-bearing capacity under various complex working conditions. Moreover, by adopting parametric design methods, the design cycle can be significantly shortened, design parameters can be efficiently determined, and dimensional constraints can be provided for the subsequent structural design of the large roller bearing rings.

[0056] 2. This invention effectively improves the structural strength and wear resistance of the cage by precisely designing parameters such as the width of the crossbeam, the width of the crossbeam, and the thickness of the wear-reducing block, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage under complex working conditions and extending the service life of the bearing. At the same time, the reasonable structural parameter design can ensure the good distribution and movement of the rollers in the cage, reduce noise and vibration during bearing operation, and improve operational stability.

[0057] 3. This invention comprehensively considers the operating conditions of large cylindrical roller bearings under complex working conditions, including the influence of different loads, speeds and temperatures on cage performance. By checking bearing life and safety factors, it ensures that the designed cage can operate reliably under various complex working conditions and meet the application requirements of large heavy-duty bearings.

If the bearing life or safety factor does not meet the design requirements, return to Step 3 to recalculate; if there is no required number of cage segments N, return to Step 2 to recalculate until the bearing life and safety factor meet the design requirements.

[0087] Step 6 (3), for the cage with a straight pocket, the total cage thickness H1 = D w -(2~6); For the cage of the guide roller, the total thickness of the cage is H1=H.

[0088] Step six (iv), the method for determining the parameters of the cage overrun groove is as follows: select the overrun groove type according to the machining capacity, and the parameters a, b, r u The selection should avoid interference between the cylindrical roller fillet radius R and the cage runout groove.
