Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lubrication technology for metallurgical equipment, and specifically relates to a dual-line dry oil lubrication system and method for high-temperature sector roller bearings. Background Technology

[0002] During continuous casting production, the fan-shaped rollers are exposed to high temperatures (>150℃) and high steam environments for extended periods. Traditional single-line oil-air lubrication systems suffer from the following drawbacks: insufficient oil film retention: high-temperature steam erosion prevents lubricating oil from effectively remaining within the bearing housing; limited oil supply: large fluctuations in oil pressure within the single-line pipeline result in uneven oil distribution, making it difficult to cover multiple bearing points; high failure rate: roller bearings frequently seize due to lack of oil.

[0003] Existing improvement solutions (such as increasing oil pump pressure and optimizing nozzles) have not solved the problem of high-temperature oil film dispersion, and a systematic innovation in lubrication structure is urgently needed.

[0004] In view of the above factors, a dual-line dry oil lubrication system and method for high-temperature sector-shaped roller bearings is provided, which is suitable for solving the problem of roller bearing damage caused by single-line oil-air lubrication failure in high-temperature steam environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-line dry oil lubrication system and method for high-temperature sector roller bearings, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a dual-line dry oil lubrication system for high-temperature sector roller bearings, comprising an electric lubrication pump, wherein the electric lubrication pump is connected to a parallel dual-line main oil pipeline, and an electric / electromagnetic reversing valve is provided between the parallel dual-line dry oil pipeline and the electric lubrication pump.

[0007] The parallel double-line main oil pipeline is connected to the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline. The parallel double-line branch oil pipeline is equipped with an oil supply branch pipe. Each oil supply branch pipe is equipped with a set of double-line oil distributors. The inlet of the double-line oil distributor is connected to the outlet of the double-line pump, and the outlet of the double-line oil distributor is connected to the oil injection hole of the roller bearing seat through the branch pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the roller bearing housing has two symmetrical sets of oil injection holes, and two sets of oil outlet holes are also provided on the roller bearing housing. The two sets of oil injection holes and the two sets of oil outlet holes are arranged symmetrically along the radial direction of the roller bearing housing.

[0009] Furthermore, the parallel double-line main oil pipeline and the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline are made of stainless steel.

[0010] Furthermore, the oil supply branch pipe is provided with several sets of parallel connections to the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline.

[0011] The branch pipe connected to the outlet of the dual-line oil separator adopts a radially symmetrical layout and is connected to the oil injection hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the parallel dual-line main oil pipeline is connected to the parallel dual-line branch oil pipeline, and a fiber optic pressure sensor is arranged to monitor the pressure distribution along the pipeline. The fiber optic pressure sensor has a resolution of 0.05 MPa.

[0013] Furthermore, heating devices are installed on the parallel double-line main oil pipeline and the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline. The heating devices are heating rings, and the heating rings are cast copper heating rings.

[0014] Furthermore, the cast copper heating ring is made of two sets of symmetrical cast copper rings spliced ​​together and fixed by bolts, and the length of the cast copper heating ring is 0.5-5m.

[0015] An application method for a dual-line dry oil lubrication system for high-temperature sector-shaped roller bearings includes the following steps:

[0016] The electric lubrication pump and electric / electromagnetic directional valve are connected through the PLC control cabinet. The outlet end of the electric lubrication pump is connected to the electric / electromagnetic directional valve, and the outlet end of the electric / electromagnetic directional valve is connected to the parallel double-line main oil pipeline. The parallel double-line main oil pipeline is connected to the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline, and the parallel double-line branch oil pipeline is equipped with an oil supply branch pipe. The lubricating grease enters the double-line oil distributor through the oil supply branch pipe, and the double-line oil distributor is connected to the oil injection hole of the roller bearing seat through the branch pipe.

[0017] Among them, the branch pipe connected to the outlet of the dual-line oil separator adopts a radially symmetrical layout and is connected to the oil injection hole to reduce oil pressure attenuation. After being pressurized by the dual-line oil separator, an anti-erosion micro-adsorption oil film is formed in the bearing raceway, increasing the oil film retention rate in the bearing cavity from 40% to 95%, and extending the service life of the roller from 15 days to more than 6 months.

[0018] The working pressure of the dual-line pump is set to 20MPa, the alternating oil supply cycle is 15 minutes / line, and the distribution ratio of the oil distributor is adjusted so that the oil quantity error of each bearing is ≤5%.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention is applicable to solving the problem of roller bearing damage caused by single-line oil-gas lubrication failure in high-temperature steam environments. By increasing the oil supply and pressure stability, the lubricating oil forms a lasting oil film in the bearing cavity, thus eradicating the problem of roller jamming.

[0021] The application of this invention has led to a 100% reduction in bearing replacement rate, an increase in bearing cavity oil film retention rate from 40% to 95%, and an extension of roller lifespan from 15 days to more than 6 months. Attached Figure Description
