Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rolling bearing technology, and more specifically to a method for analyzing the slippage state of rolling bearings considering raceway waviness. Background Technology
[0002] Rolling bearings are widely used transmission components in mechanical systems, and their performance directly affects the operational stability and service life of equipment. However, due to the complex dynamic behavior of bearings during operation, especially the slippage between the rolling elements and the raceway, frictional losses, temperature rises, and fatigue damage can occur, significantly reducing the reliability of the bearings.
[0003] Raceway waviness is an unavoidable micro-geometric error in the manufacturing process of rolling bearings. It not only affects the contact state between the rolling elements and the raceway but also significantly influences slippage behavior. However, existing bearing dynamics analysis methods typically neglect the influence of raceway waviness, failing to accurately describe the slippage state and its patterns. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rolling bearing slippage analysis method that considers raceway waviness to reveal the mechanism by which waviness affects slippage motion and provide a theoretical basis for bearing design and optimization.

[0046]
[0047]
[0048] S304. The load on the bearing under actual operating conditions is much smaller than the yield strength of its material. Therefore, it is assumed that the bearing does not undergo plastic deformation, and only the elastic deformation of the material is considered. Furthermore, it is assumed that the rolling elements and raceways are smooth elastic components. Based on Hertz's elastic contact theory, the contact area size between the ball bearing and the raceway (a), the contact deformation (b), and the contact pressure are...

[0062] S308. The radius of curvature of the rolling element changes continuously at different positions of the waviness on the raceway surface. This causes the contact stiffness between the rolling element and the raceway to change over time. Therefore, when calculating the contact stiffness between the rolling element and the raceway, it is necessary to calculate the time-varying contact stiffness. For the radius of curvature formed by the waviness of the inner and outer raceways, the time-varying curvature value at any position Lws of the inner and outer raceways can be obtained by calculating the time-varying displacement excitations Пi and Пo of the rolling element relative to the waviness of the inner and outer raceways according to S201. The calculation is as follows:
[0063]

Substituting these curvatures into S307, the time-varying contact stiffness coefficients Kwi and Kwo between the rolling element and the inner and outer raceways when the raceway has waviness can be calculated.
[0077] Preferably, step S4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0091]
[0092] S406. Under external load, the bearing undergoes geometric deformation, forming a load-bearing area and a non-load-bearing area. The rolling elements then periodically alternate between these areas. Due to factors such as load, friction, and resistance, the rotational speed of the rolling elements varies significantly. Therefore, the cage plays a crucial role in ensuring the rolling elements operate normally within the bearing without mutual interference. A linear spring is used to simulate the contact force and deformation relationship between the rolling elements and the cage. The interaction forces between the rolling elements and the front and rear walls of the cage pockets are calculated and can be expressed as:

[0120] In the formula, mi is the inner ring mass; , These represent the displacement velocities of the bearing inner ring in the x and y directions, respectively. , These are the accelerations of the bearing inner ring in the x and y directions, respectively.
[0121] S504. The fixed-step fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm is used to solve the motion differential equations in S501, S502, and S503.
