[0002] In the field of non-road diesel engines, especially in construction machinery, the engine is often required to be equipped with a hydraulic pump, and the load of the hydraulic pump is often relatively large, which requires the use of tapered roller bearings. Tapered roller bearings are generally arranged in an opposed manner. The axial clearance of tapered roller bearings has a great influence on the life of the bearings. If the bearing clearance is not properly controlled, the bearings may be burned at the least, and the entire shaft system of the engine may be damaged at the worst.
[0003] The traditional way of adjusting the axial clearance of tapered roller bearings often requires opening observation ports or inspection ports on related parts to repeatedly observe and adjust the axial clearance of tapered roller bearings. Precision measuring tools such as dial indicators may also be required during the adjustment process, and related parts are also subject to repeated disassembly and assembly. First, repeated disassembly and assembly greatly increases labor costs, process costs, and process time; second, the observation ports or inspection ports also make the overall structure complex and increase the number of places that need to be sealed; third, repeated disassembly and assembly of parts may also cause damage to parts, especially failure of seals, resulting in unnecessary losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a tapered roller bearing axial clearance adjustment device to greatly reduce the complexity of the overall structure. It can be installed in place at one time under the premise of controlling the axial clearance of the bearing, avoiding repeated disassembly and assembly of related parts, reducing labor costs and process costs, and improving production rhythm.

[0007] The inner ring of the bearing mounting portion is used for inlaying and mounting the bearing;
[0008] The inner ring of the pressure ring mounting portion is threadedly mounted with a retaining ring, the outer wall of the retaining ring is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the inner ring of the pressure ring mounting portion is provided with an internal thread, and the axial projection of the retaining ring toward the first end face is located at the outer ring position of the bearing;
[0009] The retaining ring is provided with a through hole around its axis and penetrating along its axis;
[0010] The first end surface is provided with a threaded hole around its axis and extending along its axis;
[0011] The through hole and the threaded hole have the same pitch circle diameter.
[0012] Preferably, the number of the threaded holes is the same as the number of the through holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the through hole and the threaded hole are positioned and connected by bolts.
[0014] Furthermore, one end of the through hole away from the first end surface is set as a bolt head positioning portion, and the inner diameter of the bolt head positioning portion gradually increases along the direction away from the first end surface.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer wall of the retaining ring is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pressure ring mounting portion, and the inner diameter of the retaining ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing and larger than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the bearing.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, a tapered roller bearing axial clearance adjustment device comprises a bearing seat 2 sleeved on the outer edge of a bearing 1, the bearing seat 2 comprises a bearing mounting portion 21 and a pressure ring mounting portion 22 coaxially connected, the inner diameter of the bearing mounting portion 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pressure ring mounting portion 22, and the first end face 3 of the bearing mounting portion 21 faces the inner ring of the pressure ring mounting portion 22;
[0030] The inner ring of the bearing mounting portion 21 is used for embedding and mounting the bearing 1;
[0031] The inner ring thread of the pressure ring mounting portion 22 is threadedly mounted with a retaining ring 4, the outer wall of the retaining ring 4 is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the inner ring of the pressure ring mounting portion 22 is provided with an internal thread, and the axial projection of the retaining ring 4 toward the first end face 3 is located at the outer ring position of the bearing 1;
[0032] The retaining ring 4 is provided with a through hole 5 around its axis and penetrating along its axis;
[0033] The first end surface 3 is provided with a threaded hole 6 around its axis and extending along its axis;
[0034] The through hole 5 and the threaded hole 6 have the same pitch circle diameter.
[0035] In this way, when the retaining ring 4 is completely in contact with the outer ring of the bearing 1, the axial clearance of the bearing 1 is 0. The axial clearance of the bearing 1 can be adjusted by rotating the retaining ring 4 to move the retaining ring 4 away from the bearing 1, and the axial clearance of the bearing 1 can be accurately and conveniently adjusted by using the relationship between the number of overlaps between the through hole 5 and the threaded hole 6, the pitch between the retaining ring 4 and the pressure ring mounting portion 22, and the number of the through hole 5 or the threaded hole 6. Thus, the axial clearance of the bearing 1 can be conveniently designed and controlled.
[0036] Specifically, assuming that the aforementioned pitch is p, the number of through holes 5 and threaded holes 6 is n, the number of alignments of threaded holes 6 with through holes 5 is i, after the adjustment is completed, the retaining ring 4 is positioned after the bolt passes through the through hole 5 and is connected to the threaded hole 6. Then the axial clearance x of the magnetic bearing 1 can be expressed as:
[0037] (i-1)p / n≤x<ip / n.
[0038] The axial clearance of the bearing 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the thread pitch p, the number of hole positions n and the number of rotation alignment i, eliminating the step of measuring the clearance of the bearing 1 with measuring tools such as a dial indicator. It is simple and compact, with low assembly cost, meets market requirements, and reduces process installation costs.
[0039] Furthermore, the number of the threaded holes 6 is the same as the number of the through holes 5 .
[0040] Furthermore, the through hole 5 and the threaded hole 6 are positioned and connected by bolts.
[0041] At the same time, in order to make the installation of the bolt more stable when the through hole 5 and the threaded hole 6 are positioned, the end of the through hole 5 away from the first end face 3 is set as a bolt head positioning portion, and the inner diameter of the bolt head positioning portion gradually increases in the direction away from the first end face 3.
[0042] In addition, the outer wall of the retaining ring 4 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pressure ring mounting portion 22 , and the inner diameter of the retaining ring 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 1 and larger than the inner diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 1 .
[0043] Furthermore, the bearing seat 2 is connected to the gear box housing 7 for positioning the bearing 1 and the power shaft.
