Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] As attached Figures 1 to 4 The inner ring and contour ring integrated hub unit bearing shown in the figure comprises a bearing unit assembly 1, an inner ring 2, an outer ring 3, a lubrication ring groove 8 and a straight oil groove 9, the inner cavity of the inner ring 2 is provided with a drive shaft cavity 21, steel balls 4 are arranged between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3, and the steel balls 4 are arranged in a plurality of groups, the lubrication ring groove 8 is arranged on the left side of the inner surface of the drive shaft cavity 21, and the straight oil groove 9 is arranged at the center of the inner cavity of the drive shaft cavity 21;
[0025] An oil inlet hole 10 is formed at the upper end of the lubrication ring groove 8 , a sealing ring 13 is provided on the upper end surface of the oil inlet hole 10 , a threaded hole 11 is formed above the sealing ring 13 , and a bolt 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the threaded hole 11 .
[0026] Among them: when the user needs to replenish lubricating oil, since the bolt 12 engages the threaded hole 11 and blocks the oil inlet hole 10, the user only needs to rotate the bolt 12 to remove it from the threaded hole 11 cavity to unlock the oil inlet hole 10, so as to quickly and conveniently replenish the oil. After rotating to open the oil inlet hole 10, the new lubricating oil quickly flows into the lubrication ring groove 8 through the oil inlet hole 10. Since the lubrication ring groove 8 is connected with the straight oil groove 9 in the drive shaft cavity 21, after the oil circulates in the lubrication ring groove 8, it can effectively cover various working surfaces through the straight oil groove 9, thereby achieving thorough lubrication, providing a lubrication basis for the entire drive shaft cavity 21, and reducing friction and wear.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 is further detailed in combination with the following specific working method. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, see the following description for details:
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the inner ring 2 is arranged at the right end of the bearing unit assembly 1, and the outer ring 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the inner ring 2. The outer surface of the right end of the bearing unit assembly 1 is provided with a connecting flange 14, and retaining frames 5 are provided at both ends of the outer ring 3; further, the outer ring 3 is the external structure of the hub unit, which is connected to the wheel and bears the load from the wheel, while providing a stable rolling surface so that the steel ball 4 can roll smoothly thereon. The inner ring 2 is mainly fixed to the wheel hub, providing a rolling path for the steel ball 4 and helping to transfer the load to the outer ring 3. The connecting flange 14 installs the bearing unit assembly 1 in the automobile transmission system, and the retaining frame 5 fixes the position of the steel ball 4 to prevent collision or extrusion between the steel balls 4.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the lubrication ring groove 8 is connected to the straight oil groove 9, and the oil inlet hole 10 is connected to the lubrication ring groove 8; further, the connection design between the lubrication ring groove 8 and the straight oil groove 9 ensures that the lubrication oil can be evenly distributed to each component that needs lubrication, and enters the lubrication ring groove 8 through the oil inlet hole 10.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the bolt 12 and the threaded hole 11 are threadedly connected, and the bolt 12 penetrates the threaded hole 11 and abuts against the sealing ring 13; further, the bolt 12 can be engaged and fixed in the threaded hole 11 and abut against the surface of the sealing ring 13, thereby blocking the oil inlet hole 10.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, a first sealing ring 6 is provided on the left side of the inner surface of the drive shaft cavity 21, and a second sealing ring 7 is provided on the right side of the inner surface of the drive shaft cavity 21, and the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7 constitute a double sealing structure; further, the double sealing structure composed of the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7 effectively prevents the leakage of lubricating oil or other fluids, ensures the reliability of the sealing performance, and prevents external contaminants from entering the drive shaft cavity 21, thereby keeping the lubricating oil clean.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the first sealing ring 6, the second sealing ring 7 and the sealing ring 13 are all made of rubber material, and several groups of steel balls 4 are equidistantly spaced around the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3; further, the first sealing ring 6, the second sealing ring 7 and the sealing ring 13 made of rubber material provide a stable sealing effect, and several groups of steel balls 4 act as rolling bodies, rolling between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3, which can effectively disperse the load, while reducing friction loss, thereby improving the operating efficiency and service life of the wheel hub.
[0034] The working process of the utility model is as follows: first, the outer ring 3 is the external structure of the wheel hub unit, which is connected to the wheel and bears the load from the wheel. At the same time, it provides a stable rolling surface so that the steel ball 4 can roll smoothly on it. The inner ring 2 is mainly fixed to the wheel hub, providing a rolling path for the steel ball 4 and helping to transfer the load to the outer ring 3. The retaining frame 5 fixes the position of the steel ball 4. The connecting flange 14 installs the bearing unit assembly 1 in the automobile transmission system. When the user needs to add lubricating oil, since the bolt 12 engages the threaded hole 11 and abuts against the surface of the sealing ring 13 to block the oil inlet hole 10, only the bolt 12 needs to be rotated to close the oil inlet hole 10. The bolt 12 is taken out from the threaded hole 11 to unlock the oil inlet 10, so that the oil can be replenished quickly and conveniently. After the oil inlet 10 is opened, the new lubricating oil quickly flows into the lubrication ring groove 8 through the oil inlet 10. Since the lubrication ring groove 8 is connected with the straight oil groove 9 in the drive shaft cavity 21, the oil circulates in the lubrication ring groove 8 and can effectively cover the surface of the drive shaft through the straight oil groove 9, thereby achieving thorough lubrication. The double sealing structure composed of the first sealing ring 6 and the second sealing ring 7 effectively prevents the leakage of lubricating oil or other fluids. The above is the working principle of the inner ring contour ring integrated hub unit bearing.
[0035] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
