Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bearing manufacturing, in particular to an inspection tool for preventing a bearing from lacking steel balls. Background Art
[0002] Deep groove ball bearings are a common rolling bearing that is mainly used to bear radial loads, and can also bear certain axial loads. Its inner and outer ring raceways are both arc-shaped deep grooves, which enables it to withstand various loads. In addition, the self-aligning ability of deep groove ball bearings is also quite good, which makes it widely used in the industrial field.
[0003] The steel balls inside the deep groove ball bearing are the most important structural parts. They not only support the rotating body to bear the load, but also reduce the friction resistance. The number of steel balls must be guaranteed accurately. If there is a shortage of steel balls inside the bearing, the service life of the bearing will be greatly reduced, and it is more likely to directly cause bearing failure or other serious failure phenomena.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 The inspection tool shown in the figure for preventing the bearing from lacking steel balls includes a steel ball support mechanism 100 , wherein a plurality of evenly distributed steel ball detection grooves 110 are arranged around the upper edge of the steel ball support mechanism 100 body, and a first vent hole 111 is opened through the steel ball detection groove 110 .
[0026] The inner periphery of the body of the steel ball supporting mechanism 100 is a first hollow structure 101 , and a ventilation structure 200 is coaxially arranged in the cavity of the first hollow structure 101 .
[0027] The upper surface of the ventilation structure 200 is disposed in the first annular groove 102 on the inner periphery of the steel ball support mechanism 100.
[0028] Specifically, a first mounting hole 203 is provided at the axis center of the upper surface of the ventilation structure 200, a threaded groove 103 is provided on the inner circumference of the body of the steel ball support mechanism 100 near the first annular groove 102, and the threaded fastener 300 penetrates the first mounting hole 203 and is inserted into the threaded groove.
[0029] A plurality of second ventilation holes 211 are disposed on the upper surface 210 of the ventilation structure 200 .
[0030] The middle periphery of the ventilation structure 200 is fixed to the lower end of the steel ball supporting mechanism 100 through the limiting portion 220 .
[0031] The inner periphery of the ventilation structure 200 is a second hollow structure 201 , and a guide groove 202 connected to an external ventilation device (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the second hollow structure 201 .
[0032] A sealing ring installation groove 204 is provided on the outer periphery of the middle portion of the ventilation structure 200 , and a sealing ring 400 is provided in the sealing ring installation groove 204 .
[0033] Because of the above structure, the working principle of the utility model is:
[0034] In actual work, when the bearing passes through the ball distribution station after the balls are inserted, the steel balls inside the bearing will be evenly distributed. In this way, the steel balls inside the bearing will evenly fall into the ball pocket holes of the tooling. And the bottom of the steel ball will fall above the first vent hole 111 of the steel ball support mechanism 100, and the surface of the steel ball will block the first vent hole 111.
[0035] When the pneumatic solenoid valve of the external ventilation device (not shown in the figure) is working, it will start to inhale air from the bottom guide groove 202 of the ventilation structure 200, and the introduction of air through the second ventilation hole 211 and the first annular groove 102 of the ventilation structure 200 will simultaneously affect the first ventilation hole 111 of the steel ball support mechanism 100 (because the steel ball support mechanism 100 and the ventilation structure 200 are both hollow structures to facilitate gas circulation).
[0036] If the actual number of bearing steel balls is less and the bottom of the steel balls does not fall above any of the first vent holes 111 of the steel ball support mechanism 100, the air pressure will drop, and the sensor will alarm and shut down.
[0037] On the contrary, if the number of steel balls is correct, the air pressure will rise and reach a certain value, and the test will automatically pass. The sealing performance of the ventilation structure 200 is very important, so the ventilation structure 200 is matched with an O-ring and fixed with a threaded fastener 300, which greatly improves the airtightness function.
