Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal management technology for high-speed rotating machinery, and more specifically to a multi-parameter thermal analysis method for the design of ultra-high-speed bearings. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands on the performance of rotating machinery in energy, power, and other fields, the speed, load, and power density of bearings are constantly rising, entering the realm of ultra-high-speed operation. Under such extreme conditions, the internal frictional heat generation of the bearing increases dramatically, while heat dissipation conditions deteriorate, leading to a significant increase in bearing temperature. Excessively high temperatures not only accelerate lubricant aging and failure, reducing oil film carrying capacity, but also cause serious failures such as material annealing, thermal deformation, and even bearing seizure, becoming a key factor restricting the reliability and lifespan of ultra-high-speed bearings. Traditional bearing anti-galling design mainly relies on empirical formulas, simplified calculations, and extensive bench tests for verification. Common methods include: selecting materials with good anti-galling properties (such as high-temperature bearing steel and surface-modified materials), optimizing heat treatment processes, improving lubrication (such as using extreme pressure additive lubricating oil and increasing oil supply), and controlling operating temperature and load. However, these methods often focus on adjusting external factors or single parameters, lacking a systematic and quantitative approach to the complex interactions between internal bearing structural parameters (such as raceway geometry, matching of rolling element size and quantity, cage design details, and surface microstructure) and their impact on galling failure.
[0003] Traditional bearing thermal analysis methods mainly include:
[0004] Empirical formula method: This method calculates the average temperature rise or frictional power consumption based on empirical formulas with simplified assumptions. While fast, this method has limited accuracy, struggles to reflect complex structures, non-uniform temperature fields, and localized hot spots, and has poor adaptability to new operating conditions such as ultra-high speeds and extreme loads.
[0005] Finite element thermal analysis can simulate the temperature distribution and thermal deformation of solid domains, but it is not capable of handling complex flow, heat transfer and gas-liquid two-phase problems of lubricating fluids, and it is difficult to accurately obtain convective heat transfer boundaries and frictional heat sources.
[0006] Single CFD / CHT simulation: It can simulate the coupled processes of fluid flow, heat transfer and solid heat conduction in detail, but the calculation cost of the full three-dimensional model is high, especially for system-level analysis involving multiple bearings and complex flow channels, which is difficult to meet the efficiency requirements of design iteration.
[0007] To address the above shortcomings, this invention proposes a thermal analysis method for ultra-high-speed bearings that balances computational efficiency and accuracy, effectively couples multiple physics fields, and supports parametric design and optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the challenge of predicting thermal failure risks in existing ultra-high-speed bearing designs, this invention proposes a multi-parameter thermal analysis method for ultra-high-speed bearing design.

[0035] The second step is real-time data exchange from three dimensions to one dimension: providing localized refined calculations of frictional heat power and localized convective heat transfer coefficients.
