TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bearing design and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a bearing pillar welded retainer washer capable of resisting welding deformation. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pillar welded retainer is a component for bearings serving under heavy load conditions. After the pillars pass through the hollow rollers, the two ends of the pillars are welded with the washers on both sides to form an integral pillar welded retainer. The welded retainer plays a role in bearing the rollers and constraining the rollers. Compared with ordinary bearing retainers, the pillar welded retainer can greatly reduce the spacing between the rollers and rollers, and more rollers can be installed in a limited space, thus improving the load-carrying capacity of the bearing.
[0003] However, bearings under heavy load conditions will be subjected to large load and high frequency radial impact. Therefore, the pillar welded retainer often adopts a welding method to connect the pillars and the washers on both sides. Welding can improve the bonding strength between the pillars and the retainer, so that it can still maintain stable connection under the action of impact and protect the service performance of the bearing. However, the welding process will inevitably introduce welding stress, which will inevitably cause welding deformation. In addition, with the development of equipment such as mining machinery, higher requirements are put forward for the load of the pillar welded retainer bearing. The bearing including the pillar welded retainer needs to bear higher load, so higher requirements are put forward for the welding strength of the pillar welded retainer. The above requirements require deeper and wider welding seams to support, but this brings the problem of greater welding deformation. That is, when the pillars of the pillar welded retainer are welded with the washers on both sides, the whole or part of the washer is deformed, which causes the flatness of the washers on both sides of the pillar welded retainer to deteriorate, causing the retainer and the roller to produce adverse friction, affecting the use performance of the bearing.
[0004] Among the problems of the pillar welded retainer, the existing patents mainly improve the welding strength. For example, Chinese patent CN201620116985.9 mentions a shallow welding pool rolling mill bearing retainer. The patent sets a welding chamfer on the pillar, sets the depth of the welding pool to 3-4 mm, and sets the slope of the welding pool to 45-50°. This method can improve the welding efficiency, reduce the defects such as bubbles and shrinkage holes generated by welding, improve the load-carrying capacity of the pillar, and at the same time, save the amount of welding rod used. However, this patent does not focus on the deformation problem of the retainers on both sides of the washer during welding.
[0005] In addition, a height difference is formed at the assembly position of the gasket and the pillar to fill the solder, which can increase the welding strength. As disclosed in Chinese Patent CN202310695567.4, the welding end of the pillar is designed to be lower than the gasket by 2.2-3.0 mm, and the through hole on the gasket is designed to have an angle of 45-50° and a chamfer with a height of 4-4.5 mm. The above design increases the welding contact area of the pillar and the gasket, and improves the strength and reliability of the welding part. However, the above patent does not consider the welding deformation of the gaskets on both sides of the retainer during welding.
[0006] In addition to the above patents, some studies have optimized welding parameters to improve the bonding strength of the pillar and the gasket to improve the welding strength.
[0007] In summary, the main problem considered in the existing bearing pillar retainer welding is how to strengthen the welding strength, ignoring the welding deformation of the gaskets on both sides of the retainer during welding. Welding deformation can cause adverse friction between the gasket and the roller, affecting the performance of the bearing and reducing the service life of the bearing. SUMMARY
[0008] The present application aims to provide a bearing pillar welded retainer gasket that can resist welding deformation. By providing a deformation-resistant reinforcing structure on the inner and outer sides of the gaskets on both sides of the welded pillar retainer, the overall deformation and local deformation of the pillar welded retainer during welding are resisted, and adverse friction between the gasket and the roller is avoided, ensuring the performance of the bearing.

[0012] Further, the cross section of the large reinforcing ring and the small reinforcing ring is rectangular, and the ring width is 10-25 mm and the ring height is 4-8 mm.
[0013] Further, when the distance between the pillar through holes on the gasket is large, the reinforcing structure is arranged as a hemispherical reinforcing mound, the reinforcing mound is concentric with the pillar through holes on the gasket, the pillar through holes penetrate the reinforcing mound, and the diameter of the circle formed by the reinforcing mound and the gasket is larger than the distance between the large reinforcing ring and the small reinforcing ring, and the reinforcing mound is arranged in a staggered manner on both sides of the gasket. The hemispherical reinforcing mound is 8-15 mm higher than the plane of the gasket.
[0014] Further, the connecting ribs are arranged between the hemispherical reinforcing mounds, the connecting ribs are in the shape of a circular arc, the cross section of the connecting rib is a semicircle, and the diameter is 3-5 mm.
[0015] Further, when the distance between the pillar through holes on the gasket is small, the reinforcing structure is arranged as a frustum reinforcing ring, the frustum reinforcing ring completely covers the pillar through holes which are uniformly distributed along the circumference, the pillar through holes are enveloped in the middle of the frustum reinforcing ring, and the pillar through holes penetrate the frustum reinforcing ring; the cross section of the frustum reinforcing ring is in the shape of a cone, the length of the lower base of the cone is larger than the distance between the large reinforcing ring and the small reinforcing ring, and the frustum reinforcing ring is arranged in a staggered manner on both sides of the gasket. The length of the upper base of the cone is 20-50 mm larger than the diameter of the pillar through hole, and the height of the cone is 8-15 mm.
[0016] Further, the pillar penetrates the rollers and is assembled with the pillar through holes on the left gasket and the right gasket, the welding position of the pillar and the gasket converges on the top of the reinforcing structure to form a welding spot, and the rollers contact the large reinforcing ring and the small reinforcing ring of the gasket.
