[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0021] The basket-type retainer in this embodiment as shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes the following components: a basket-type retainer, which includes a small-end circular ring seat ring 7 and a large-end circular ring seat ring 8, and a plurality of beam bodies 4 connecting the small-end circular ring seat ring 7 and the large-end circular ring seat ring 8, and a pocket hole 5 for assembling rolling elements is provided between two adjacent beam bodies 4; the cross-section of the beam body 4 is trapezoidal; the middle part of the beam body 4 is provided with protruding locking points 6 facing the pocket holes 5 on both sides; the locking point 6 is provided with a transition surface on one side edge close to the inside of the retainer body, and the transition surface extends to the inner side of the retainer body and connects with the inner side surface of the beam body 4.
[0022] The transition surface is an inclined surface.
[0023] The length of the locking point 6 along the length direction of the beam body 4 is one third of the length of the beam body 4 .
[0024] The retaining frame referred to in this application has a weight-reducing design on each beam. The beam of the commonly used basket-type retaining frame is a straight slope plus a slope form. Now, a straight slope reduction design is made from the small end and the large end of the window hole to the center of the beam, and only about 1 / 3 of the part in the center of the beam is retained as a locking point to guide the rolling body and prevent the rolling body from falling.
[0025] The small end circular ring seat ring 7 is provided with an annular flange turned inward, and a plurality of arc grooves 3 are provided on the annular flange along the circumferential direction. The arc grooves 3 are through holes penetrating the annular flange in the thickness direction of the annular flange.
[0026] The arc groove 3 referred to in the present application is located on the small end circular ring seat ring 7 and is provided with an annular flange flipped inward to reduce the overall weight of the retainer, and the side hollow design helps to improve the lubrication effect.
[0027] The plane where the symmetry axis of the beam body is located coincides with the plane where the symmetry axis of the arc groove is located, and the position where the arc groove is located is easier to lubricate, which is conducive to the flow of lubricant.
[0028] The arc grooves 3 are evenly distributed on the annular flange at equal intervals, the number of the arc grooves 3 is the same as the number of the beam bodies 4, and the arc grooves 3 correspond one to one with the beam bodies 4. The position of the arc grooves corresponds to each beam to ensure the strength of the cage.
[0029] The beam bodies 4 are evenly distributed between the small end circular ring seat ring 7 and the large end circular ring seat ring 8 .
[0030] The small-end circular ring seat ring 7 and the large-end circular ring seat ring 8 are coaxially arranged circular rings, and the diameter of the small-end circular ring seat ring 7 is smaller than the diameter of the large-end circular ring seat ring 8.
[0031] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0032] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.
[0033] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application are still within the scope covered by the present application.
