Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air bearings, in particular to an air spring bearing for a shock absorber. Background Art

[0002] Air bearing is a special sliding bearing with the advantages of low friction, high precision, high speed performance, no lubrication and no pollution. It is widely used in many fields. It uses gas, usually air, as a lubricant. Compared with traditional bearings that use oil as a lubricant, air bearings have many unique advantages.

[0003] Existing air bearings are mostly composed of a bearing body, an air inlet, an air outlet, a regulating valve, and a gasket. When compressed air flows into the air inlet, a high-pressure area is formed inside the bearing body, which pushes up the thin film gasket inside the bearing body, so that the parts are suspended above the compressed air. However, for this type of bearing that simply uses a gasket as a carrier between the shaft and the bearing body, when no gas is filled inside, one side of the shaft will contact the gasket, but there will be a gap on the other side, which will cause the shaft to be unstable when there is no gas in the bearing.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes an air spring bearing for a shock absorber. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an air spring bearing for a shock absorber, including a sleeve, the sleeve including an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe and a diverter groove, a spring sheet is movably provided in the inner cavity of the sleeve, a gasket is movably provided in the middle of the spring sheet, a shaft core is movably provided in the middle of the gasket, dustproof plates are fixedly provided on both sides of the sleeve, threaded holes are opened on the dustproof plates, bolts are spirally provided in the threaded holes, an anti-slip cover is fixedly provided on the dustproof plate, and a mounting plate and a sealing ring are fixedly provided on the anti-slip cover.

[0006] Preferably, the spring sheet, gasket and shaft core are all movably connected in the middle of the sleeve. When gas is injected into the sleeve, the spring sheet and gasket are fixedly connected to the inner ring of the sleeve, and the shaft core is rotatably connected in the middle of the gasket. When the shaft core and the gasket are not in contact and there is no gas in the sleeve, the spring sheet squeezes the shaft core inward, and the inner ring surface of the shaft core and the outer surface of the shaft core are fixedly connected.

[0007] Preferably, the dustproof plate is movably connected to both sides of the shaft sleeve, threaded holes are provided on the dustproof plate and the shaft sleeve, the bolts are spirally connected to the shaft sleeve and the dustproof plate, and the shaft core is located in the middle of the dustproof plate.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-drop cover is movably connected to the dustproof plate, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the anti-drop cover, the mounting plate is also provided with threaded holes, and the mounting plate is spirally connected with bolts.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the anti-drop cover, and the other side of the sealing ring is tightly fitted to the shaft core.

[0010] Preferably, the diverter groove is opened inside the sleeve, and the openings at both ends of the diverter groove are located on the left and right inner walls of the sleeve. The air intake pipe is fixedly connected in the middle of the diverter groove, and the distances from the air intake pipe to both ends of the diverter groove are equal.

[0011] Preferably, the spring sheet and the gasket are arc-shaped.

[0012] The above technical solution of the utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] The utility model arranges two arc-shaped spring sheets on the inner ring surface of the shaft sleeve, and then changes the original single annular gasket into two arc-shaped gaskets. Since the two ends of the gasket are turned outward, the gasket can wrap the spring sheet on the inner side surface of the shaft sleeve, and then the shaft core is installed on the inner side surface of the gasket. When the shaft sleeve is not filled with gas, the gasket will squeeze the gasket inward, so that the inner side surface of the gasket and the shaft core are closely fitted, so that when the shaft sleeve is not running, there will be no gap between the shaft core and the gasket, which ensures that the shaft core can be stably located in the shaft sleeve, and the device is increased. stability; when gas is poured into the sleeve, the gas will enter the sleeve from both sides through the diverter groove. Since the distance from the air inlet pipe to both ends of the diverter groove is equal, the gas will enter the sleeve from both sides at the same time, and then reach the inner side of the gasket evenly. Due to the obstruction of the gasket and the sealing ring, the gas will not enter the position of the spring sheet, and no air leakage will occur. At this time, the air pressure will squeeze the gasket outward, thereby compressing the spring sheet, so that the inner side of the gasket will not contact the shaft core, thereby making the rotation of the shaft core achieve low friction, high precision and pollution-free effects.
