The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the utility model may also have other embodiments.

[0080] Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of the "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of the "first component".

[0081] It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside" and similar expressions used in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not restrictive.

[0082] The utility model discloses a gas environment isolation bearing and a gas storage device.

[0083] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a gas environment isolation bearing comprises: an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, a rolling element 7 and at least two sealing elements;

[0085] The outer ring 1 includes an inner ring space;

[0086] The inner ring 2 is arranged in the inner ring space of the outer ring 1;

[0087] The rolling element 7 is arranged between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1, and can support the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 to rotate relative to each other;

[0088] At least two seals, the two seals are arranged between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1, and are located on the same side of the rolling element 7; the two seals are a first seal 3 and a second seal 4 in the figure, and the second seal 4 is closer to the rolling element 7 than the first seal 3;

[0089] An isolation chamber 17 is provided between the two seals. Sealing grease is provided in the isolation chamber 17 for sealing the gap between the edge of the first seal 3 and the inner ring 2 , and the gap between the edge of the second seal 4 and the inner ring 2 .

[0090] The gas environment isolation bearing is usually arranged in a bearing seat, the shaft passes through the inner ring 2, the outer ring 1 is relatively fixed to the bearing seat, and the inner ring 2 is relatively fixed to the shaft, so as to support the rotation of the shaft.

[0091] The gas environment isolation bearing in this embodiment is achieved by setting an isolation chamber on either side of the rolling element of the bearing, and sealing grease in the isolation chamber. The isolation chamber and the sealing grease are used to prevent the gas from circulating inside the bearing, so that the gas cannot pass through the bearing to achieve gas isolation or sealing, and does not affect the normal use of the bearing to support the mechanical rotating body, thereby meeting the use requirements of the working environment that requires gas isolation.

[0092] The first seal 3 and the second seal 4 have the same structure, but are arranged at different positions in the gas environment isolation bearing. The first seal 3 is taken as an example for detailed description below, and the structure of the second seal 4 can refer to the first seal 3.

[0093] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first sealing member 3 comprises:

[0094] An outer ring 31, the outer edge of the outer ring 31 is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the outer ring 1;

[0095] An airbag ring 32, the airbag ring 32 is sealed and connected to the outer ring 31, and the airbag ring 32 can be elastically deformed;

[0096] The plated ring 33 is connected to the airbag ring 32 , and the inner edge of the plated ring 33 is transitionally fitted or clearance-fitted with the outer wall of the inner ring 2 .

[0097] The outer ring 31, the airbag ring 32, and the coating ring 33 are concentrically assembled from the outside to the inside. The outer ring 31 is used for skeleton support. Due to its elastic characteristics, the coating ring 33 will not get stuck or easily detach when it contacts the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2. When the coating ring 33 contacts the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2, the first seal 3 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2 are in contact with each other. A little pressure can be applied on the first mating surface 12 without a gap, so that the coating ring 33 is fully in contact with the first mating surface 12 and also has space for contraction or expansion.

[0098] The inner edge of the coating ring 33 and the outer wall of the inner ring 2 are transitionally matched or clearance-matched, that is, contact installation or non-contact installation can be adopted to ensure that the sealing grease does not leak.

[0099] The material of the outer ring 31 can be selected from hard rubber, plastic or metal, and the material of the airbag ring 32 can be selected from tough non-hard rubber or plastic. The inside of the airbag ring 32 is hollow and needs to be inflated to form the airbag ring 32, so that the airbag ring 32 has excellent elasticity and toughness. The material of the coating ring 33 can be selected from metal materials with good wear resistance and low friction coefficient, graphite materials, etc.

[0100] In one embodiment, an air cavity is provided inside the airbag ring 32 , and the air cavity is filled with gas, so that the airbag ring 32 can be elastically deformed.

[0101] In one embodiment, the coating ring 33 is a coating provided on the inner edge of the airbag ring 32 .

[0102] The characteristics of the plated ring 33 are good wear resistance, small friction coefficient, thin coating and being plated on an elastic rubber surface, so the plated ring 33 has a certain flexibility and tension. The plated ring 33 is used to directly contact the first mating surface 12, so the friction between the first seal 3 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2 will be very small and negligible, which not only ensures the sealing performance of the first seal 3 and the outer surface of the inner ring 2 but also reduces the friction coefficient between the two.

[0103] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the outer ring 1 is provided with:

[0104] A first card groove 8, the first card groove 8 is annular, and the first outer edge 20 of the first sealing member 3 is disposed in the first card groove 8;

[0105] A second clamping groove 9, which is annular in shape, and a second outer edge 22 of the second sealing member 4 is disposed in the second clamping groove 9;

[0106] The first retaining groove 8 and the second retaining groove 9 are located on the same side of the rolling element 7 .

[0107] The first outer edge 20 of the first sealing member 3 and the first clamping groove 8 , as well as the second outer edge 22 of the second sealing member 4 and the second clamping groove 9 need to be transitionally matched to ensure tightness.

[0108] Because additional slots need to be provided, the width of the outer ring 1 is wider than that of the outer ring of the existing bearing.

[0109] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the inner ring 2 is provided with:

[0110] The first mating surface 12 , the first inner edge 19 of the first seal 3 , and the second inner edge 21 of the second seal 4 are matched with the first mating surface 12 , and the width of the first mating surface 12 is greater than the sum of the thickness of the first seal 3 , the thickness of the second seal 4 and the thickness of the isolation chamber 17 .

[0111] The first mating surface 12 can be regarded as constituting the bottom surface of the isolation chamber 17. In order to ensure the integrity of the isolation chamber 17 and prevent leakage of the sealing grease, the width of the first mating surface 12 needs to be larger, and it always has a mating relationship with the first seal 3 and the second seal 4. Therefore, the width of the first mating surface 12 needs to be greater than the sum of the thickness of the first seal 3, the thickness of the second seal 4 and the thickness of the isolation chamber 17.

[0112] Since an additional matching surface is required, the width of the inner ring 2 is wider than that of the inner ring of the existing bearing.

[0113] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the gas environment isolation bearing also includes:

[0114] The oil separator block 11 is arranged in the isolation chamber 17. The oil separator block 11 is fixedly connected to the outer ring 1. The oil separator block 11 can push the sealing grease toward the inner ring 2 so that the sealing grease seals the gap between the edge of the first seal 3 and the edge of the second seal 4 and the inner ring 2.

[0115] As the bearing rotates, the sealing grease tends to move toward the outer ring 1 under the action of centrifugal force. If no interference is made, the sealing grease will gradually escape from the gap between the edge of the first seal 3 and the edge of the second seal 4 and the inner ring 2, resulting in sealing failure. By providing the oil separator 11, as the bearing rotates, the oil separator 11 can push the sealing grease toward the inner ring 2, avoiding the lack of sealing grease in the gap between the edge of the first seal 3 and the edge of the second seal 4 and the inner ring 2, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the bearing and the gas isolation effect.

[0116] The oil separator block 11 can be a solid body or a hollow body, and can be fixed to the inner wall of the outer ring 1 by welding.

[0117] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the oil separator block 11 is fan-shaped, and the thickness of the oil separator block 11 is less than the thickness of the isolation chamber 17 .

[0118] Because the isolation chamber 17 is annular and the sector is a part of the annular shape, the oil separator 11 is designed to be a sector, and the first surface 18 and the second surface 27 of the oil separator 11 are both cambered surfaces, which can better adapt to the structure of the isolation chamber 17. The thickness of the oil separator 11 is designed to be smaller than the thickness of the isolation chamber 17 in order to facilitate the arrangement of the first seal 3 and the second seal 4, ensure the structure of the isolation chamber 17, and avoid the oil separator 11 pressing against the first seal 3 or the second seal 4 to cause deformation of the isolation chamber 17, so as to cause sealing failure.

[0119] The first surface 18 of the oil separator 11 is matched and fixed with the inner wall curvature of the outer ring 1 in the isolation chamber 17, that is, the oil separator 11 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer ring 1, and the curvature of the second surface 27 of the oil separator 11 corresponds to the curvature of the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2, and is suspended on the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2. The gap between the second surface 27 of the oil separator 11 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2 is set to be less than or equal to the range of 0.01mm-0.1mm. The oil separator 11 can also fix the second surface 27 on the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2, and the first surface 18 is suspended facing the inner wall of the outer ring 1. In this case, the parameters of the oil separator 11 need to be designed in the opposite way. In this way, when the inner ring 2 of the bearing rotates or the outer ring 1 rotates, the oil separator 11 can continuously push the sealing grease in the isolation chamber 17 toward the direction of the inner ring 2 and separate it to both sides, so that the sealing grease is fully filled in the joint between the first seal 3, the second seal 4 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2.

[0120] In one embodiment, if Fig.12a , Figure 12b , Fig.12c As shown, the thickness of the oil separator block 11 gradually decreases from the outer edge to the inner edge of the oil separator block 11. The outer edge is the first surface 18, and the inner edge is the second surface 27.

[0121] The first side surface 25 and the second side surface 26 of the oil separator block 11 are both inclined planes, so that the cross section of the oil separator block 11 is an isosceles trapezoid, so that there is a first gap 29 between the oil separator block 11 and the first seal 3, and there is a second gap 30 between the oil separator block 11 and the second seal 4. Fig.10 As shown, the oil separator 11 can squeeze the sealing grease toward the inner ring 2 and separate the sealing grease to both sides at the same time.

[0122] When the oil separator block 11 squeezes the sealing grease toward the inner ring 2 and separates it to both sides, the sealing grease will be fully filled in the joints between the first seal 3, the second seal 4 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2. The oil separation action of the oil separator block 11 is repeated continuously. Even when the sealing grease in the isolation chamber 17 is not filled up, the sealing effect of the sealing grease on the joints between the first seal 3, the second seal 4 and the first mating surface 12 of the inner ring 2 can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the gas isolation effect of the isolation chamber 17.

[0123] In one embodiment, if Fig.12a , Figure 12b , Fig.12c As shown, the two side edges of the oil separator block 11 are pointed, and the two side edges of the oil separator block 11 can squeeze and separate the sealing grease.

[0124] The side edges of the oil separator 11 can be chamfered 28 to make the side edges of the oil separator 11 sharp, which is more conducive to separating the sealing grease. Considering that the mechanical rotating body may rotate forward or reverse, the bearing may also rotate forward or reverse, so the side edges of the oil separator 11 are set to be sharp, and the side edges of the oil separator 11 can squeeze and separate the sealing grease.

[0125] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the gas environment isolation bearing also includes

[0126] The third sealing member 5 is arranged on the other side of the rolling element 7 and is used to seal the gap between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil.

[0127] Lubricating oil needs to be added between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 to reduce the friction between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 to reduce the friction between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 and the rolling element 7. The third seal 5 is arranged on one side of the bearing to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil, and the second seal 4 and the first seal 3 are arranged on the other side of the bearing to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil.

[0128] The structure of the third sealing member 5 is the same as that of the first sealing member 3 , and reference may be made to the first sealing member 3 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0129] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the inner ring 2 is provided with:

[0130] The second mating surface 13 , the third inner edge 23 of the third sealing component 5 is matched with the second mating surface 13 , and the width of the second mating surface 13 is greater than the thickness of the third sealing component 5 .

[0131] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the outer ring 1 is provided with:

[0132] The third clamping groove 10 is annular in shape, and the third outer edge 24 of the third sealing member 5 is disposed in the third clamping groove 10 .

[0135] An isolation chamber 17 is provided between two seals located on the same side of the rolling element 7 . Sealing grease is provided in the isolation chamber 17 to seal the gap between the edge of the seal and the inner ring 2 .

[0136] By providing more than four sealing elements and forming more than two isolation chambers 17, the sealing effect of the bearing can be further improved and the gas isolation effect can be ensured.

[0137] In one embodiment, the rolling element 7 comprises:

[0138] Ball 16 or needle roller; ball 16 is spherical, and needle roller can be conical or cylindrical;

[0139] The cage 6 holds the balls 16 or needle rollers between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 .

[0140] The inner ring 2 is provided with a first rolling element groove 14 corresponding to the rolling element 7 . The first rolling element groove 14 is located between the first matching surface 12 and the second matching surface 13 . The ball 16 or the needle roller rolls in the first rolling element groove 14 .

[0141] The outer ring 1 is provided with a second rolling element groove 15 corresponding to the rolling element 7 . The second rolling element groove 15 is located between the second clamping groove 9 and the third clamping groove 10 . The ball 16 or the needle roller rolls in the second rolling element groove 15 .

[0142] The cage 6 is mounted on the rolling element 7 to evenly separate the balls 16 or the needle rollers and guide the balls 16 or the needle rollers to rotate.

[0143] A second aspect of the utility model provides a gas storage device, comprising a gas environment isolation bearing according to any one of the above technical solutions.

[0144] The utility model provides a gas environment isolation bearing and a gas storage device, which has the following characteristics:
