Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of outer ringless bearing technology, specifically to a high-load outer ringless planetary gear bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Planetary gear systems are widely used in industrial robot reducers and other applications. Ringless bearings are a core component for achieving compact transmission. Their key feature is that the inner ring of the planetary gear can be used as the outer ring of the bearing. High-load planetary gear transmissions typically employ full-complement rollers to enhance load-bearing capacity. When installing ringless bearings, it's usually necessary to first insert the planetary gear onto the gear shaft to prevent the inner ring from expanding due to interference fit when first inserted, which would increase wear on subsequent planetary gear assembly. Ringless bearings are usually shipped with roller protection sleeves to prevent rollers from scattering. However, current ringless bearings do not facilitate automatic radial compensation sealing. Over time, the reduced elasticity of the seal ring directly increases oil leakage, affecting roller life. Furthermore, after assembling the bearing and planetary gear, positioning is difficult to control, especially in confined spaces where manual handling is unstable. Subsequent insertion of the bearing inner ring onto the gear shaft can lead to displacement of the planetary gear and bearing, requiring further pressing and repositioning, increasing wear. It also makes it difficult to prevent reverse installation, affecting the bearing's interference fit.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a high-load planetary gear bearing without an outer ring. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the pusher further includes: a bearing magnet, wherein a ring of bearing magnets is fixedly embedded on the pusher ring, and the ring of bearing magnets magnetically attracts the retaining rings; the bearing magnets are used to position the inner ring of the bearing.

Magnetic force can be used to maintain assembly stability after the bearing inner ring is inserted into the planetary gear inner ring, eliminating the need for manual handling of both the bearing inner ring and the planetary gear simultaneously. This ensures stability of both the bearing inner ring and the planetary gear during subsequent pressing of the bearing inner ring into the gear shaft.
[0017] Using directional limiting components can assist workers in guiding the bearing inner ring to the correct assembly direction, ensuring the bearing magnet magnetically attracts the retaining ring, ensuring the bearing inner ring is installed correctly, and maintaining assembly quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown: This invention provides a technical solution: a planetary gear high-load bearing without an outer ring, comprising a bearing mounting part 1, on which two sealing auxiliary parts 2 are mounted to improve the sealing life; a pusher part 3 is mounted on the right sealing auxiliary part 2; a roller retainer 4 is sleeved on the pusher part 3 and is sleeved on the bearing mounting part 1; two directional limiting parts 5 are mounted on the pusher part 3 and are used to prevent reverse rotation; the bearing mounting part 1 includes: a bearing inner ring 101 and rollers 1011, with two rollers 1011 rollingly fitted on the bearing inner ring 101 and the two rollers 1011 being fully filled; threads are provided at both ends of the bearing inner ring 101.
[0022] The bearing mounting component 1 further includes: an oil drain hole 1012 and an oil groove 102; an oil drain hole 1012 is formed on the inner ring 101 of the bearing; an oil groove 102 is formed on the inner ring 101 of the bearing; the oil drain hole 1012 is used to guide oil; two rollers 1011 are used to fit into the inner ring of the planetary gear; the sealing auxiliary component 2 includes: a retaining ring 201 and a sliding sleeve 202; the retaining ring 201 is threaded onto the inner ring 101 of the bearing; a sliding sleeve 202 is fitted onto the inner ring 101 of the bearing. The sliding sleeve 202 has an inner slope structure; the retaining ring 201 is located on the side of the inner ring 101 of the bearing; the retaining ring 201 and the retaining ring 202 are concentric; the sealing auxiliary component 2 also includes: a sealing spring 203 and a rubber ring 204, with the sealing spring 203 respectively sleeved on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 202, and the sealing spring 203 connected between the retaining ring 201 and the sliding sleeve 202; the rubber ring 204 is sleeved on the inner ring 101 of the bearing, and the rubber ring 204 is... The structure features an elastic rubber structure. A rubber ring 204 is pressed and adhered to the inclined surface of the sliding sleeve 202, and the rubber ring 204 is used to elastically adhere to the inner ring of the planetary gear. The use of a sealing auxiliary component 2 can increase the service life of the rubber ring 204, assisting in elastic compression and expansion, and adapting to the reduction in elasticity of the rubber ring 204 due to long-term use. Simultaneously, this structure can achieve radial expansion and compression to adhere to the inner ring of the planetary gear, resulting in a more compact structure that does not protrude from either end of the planetary gear. It is suitable for use inside planetary gears and can reduce oil leakage through a sealing method without affecting the normal rotation of the planetary gear. The structure is simple. After the actual planetary gear is fitted with the roller 1011, the rubber ring 204 adheres to the inner side of the planetary gear. Under the compression of the sealing spring 203, the sliding sleeve 202 is pushed to compress the rubber ring 204. The inclined structure on the side of the sliding sleeve 202 can further compress the elastic rubber ring 204 outwards, maintaining its adherence to the inner side of the planetary gear.
[0023] The pusher component 3 includes a pusher ring 301 located on the side of the retaining ring 201; the inner diameter of the pusher ring 301 is the same as the inner diameter of the bearing inner ring 101; the pusher ring 301 is made of engineering plastic; the pusher component 3 also includes a bearing magnet 302, a ring of bearing magnets 302 is fixedly embedded on the pusher ring 301, and the ring of bearing magnets 302 magnetically attracts the retaining ring 201; the bearing magnets 302 are used to position the bearing inner ring 101; the roller retainer 4 includes a retaining sleeve 401 and a gear chamfer stop 4011, the retaining sleeve 401 is made of plastic; the retaining sleeve 401 is sleeved on the two rings of rollers 1011. Externally; the retaining sleeve 401 is used to prevent the two rings of rollers 1011 from scattering; a gear chamfer stop 4011 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the retaining sleeve 401, and the gear chamfer stop 4011 is used to insert into the chamfer of the inner ring of the planetary gear; the push ring 301 is sleeved inside the retaining sleeve 401, and the push ring 301 and the retaining sleeve 401 are interference fit; the roller retainer 4 also includes: a one-way groove 4012 and a gear magnet 402, and two one-way grooves 4012 are opened on the inner side of the retaining sleeve 401; a ring of gear magnets 402 is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the retaining sleeve 401, and the ring of gear magnets 402 is used to magnetically attach to the planetary gears, using The roller retainer 4, in conjunction with the pusher 3, facilitates the alignment of the bearing inner ring 101 with the planetary gear inner ring during assembly, reducing wear on the roller 1011. Simultaneously, the pusher 3 facilitates the insertion of the bearing inner ring 101 into the planetary gear inner ring. Furthermore, the small gap between the roller 1011 and the planetary gear inner ring allows for the expansion of the bearing inner ring 101 after press-fitting. Magnetic force can be used to maintain assembly stability after insertion, eliminating the need for manual handling of both the bearing inner ring 101 and the planetary gear simultaneously, thus ensuring... When the bearing inner ring 101 is subsequently assembled and pressed into the gear shaft, the bearing inner ring 101 and the planetary gear remain stable. This avoids the problem that if the bearing inner ring 101 expands due to the interference fit when there is misalignment between the planetary gear and the bearing inner ring 101, the tightness of the contact between the roller 1011 and the planetary gear will increase. If the planetary gear is then adjusted to be flush with the bearing inner ring 101, the wear of the roller 1011 on the inner ring of the planetary gear will be greatly increased. The structure is simple, reduces the difficulty of operation for workers, and improves the assembly quality. At the same time, the original retaining sleeve 401 can also be used to maintain the stability of the roller 1011 in place.
[0024] In Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1, the directional limiting component 5 includes: a limiting slider 501 and a ratchet block 5011. Two limiting sliders 501 are slidably inserted into the push ring 301, and the two limiting sliders 501 are respectively located inside the retaining cylinder 401; ratchet blocks 5011 are respectively fixedly installed at the ends of the two limiting sliders 501, and the two ratchet blocks 5011 are respectively inserted into two one-way grooves 4012; the ratchet blocks 5011 are used for one-way limiting; the directional limiting component 5 also includes: a limiting spring 502, a limiting spring 502 is respectively sleeved inside the two limiting sliders 501, and the two limiting springs 502 are respectively connected to the two limiting sliders 501. Between 01 and the push ring 301, a directional limiting component 5 is used to assist the operator in indicating the direction of the bearing inner ring 101's push assembly, ensuring that the bearing magnet 302 magnetically attracts the sealing retaining ring 201, ensuring that the bearing inner ring 101 is installed correctly, and maintaining assembly quality. When the push ring 301 is pressed down, the ratchet block 5011 will not be limited and can retract naturally, driving the limiting slider 501 to retract inward and squeeze the limiting spring 502. Conversely, if the bearing inner ring 101 is pushed from below in the opposite direction, the push ring 301 can stop, and the ratchet block 5011 will be stuck in the one-way groove 4012 under the compression of the limiting spring 502, preventing reverse assembly.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, when it is necessary to install the bearing inner ring 101, the gear chamfer stop 4011 can be inserted into the chamfer of the planetary gear inner ring for positioning. At this time, the gear magnet 402 can magnetically attract the planetary gear. Then, the push ring 301 can be manually pressed down to push the bearing inner ring 101 into the planetary gear inner ring. At this time, the bearing magnet 302 can stop and magnetically attract the sealing ring 201 to position the bearing inner ring 101. Subsequently, the retaining sleeve 401 can be held by hand, and the push ring 301 can be pressed down with a press to insert the bearing inner ring 101 into the gear shaft for assembly. In actual operation... After the planetary gear is fitted with roller 1011, the rubber ring 204 adheres to the inner side of the planetary gear. Under the compression of the sealing spring 203, the sliding sleeve 202 is pushed to compress the rubber ring 204. The inclined structure on the side of the sliding sleeve 202 can further compress the elastic rubber ring 204 to expand outward, keeping it in contact with the inner side of the planetary gear, reducing the effects of aging and low temperature, especially for heavy-duty bearings, and maintaining lubrication quality. When the push ring 301 is pressed down, the ratchet block 5011 can be unrestricted and can retract naturally, driving the limit slider 501 to retract inward and compress the limit spring 502.
