Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bearing lubrication testing technology, specifically relating to an experimental device for analyzing the oil return rate of dual aerospace bearings. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of aero-engine transmission systems, bearing lubrication performance directly affects the reliability and lifespan of the equipment. Dual-bearing structures (such as combinations of deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings) are widely used in critical aerospace components, and their lubrication efficiency directly impacts friction loss, temperature rise control, and overall mechanical efficiency. However, traditional lubrication system design faces significant challenges: under complex aircraft attitudes (such as takeoff, climb, cruise, or maneuvering), changes in gravity direction cause dynamic changes in the distribution and return flow of lubricating oil within the bearing cavity, thus affecting lubrication stability and cooling effectiveness. Existing bearing lubrication experimental devices mainly consist of a motor, drive shaft, experimental chamber, oil spray base, and experimental bearings. Bearing lubrication methods include side-spray lubrication and under-ring lubrication, with oil return devices installed at both ends of the bearing. The shortcomings of existing technologies are that current bearing lubrication experimental devices only target single bearings and cannot test the oil return rate of dual-bearing transmission structures; the lubrication methods only involve oil injection lubrication and under-ring lubrication, and cannot analyze the bearing oil return rate when dual bearings use outer ring lubrication and inter-bearing jet lubrication; the bearing operating attitude is fixed and cannot simulate the changes in bearing oil return rate caused by attitude changes during flight.
