Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a miniature bearing. Background Art
[0002] As an indispensable key component in the field of precision machinery, miniature bearings play a vital role in various small devices and instruments. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of miniaturization, the application scope of miniature bearings has been continuously expanded, covering many fields such as medical equipment, aerospace, precision instruments, and micro motors. Modern miniature bearings have made significant progress in manufacturing processes, material selection, and precision control, and can meet various high-precision, high-speed, and low-noise application requirements.
[0003] At present, there are many types of miniature bearings on the market, including deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, thrust ball bearings and other types, which can adapt to various complex working environments and load conditions. With the application of nanotechnology and new materials, some advanced miniature bearings can even maintain stable performance in extreme temperatures, high-speed operation or corrosive environments. In addition, the manufacturing accuracy of miniature bearings is constantly improving, and the dimensional tolerance of some high-end products has reached the micron level, providing strong support for the development of precision instruments.
[0004] However, despite the continuous advancement of miniature bearing technology, there are still some urgent problems to be solved in practical applications. One of the most prominent problems is the depletion and replenishment of lubricating oil. In the long-term use of existing miniature bearings, the internal lubricating oil will gradually be exhausted, which can easily lead to severe friction and wear between the ball and the raceway inside the bearing. The lack of lubricating oil will not only increase the running resistance and noise of the bearing, but also significantly shorten the service life of the bearing, and may even cause the failure of the entire equipment.
[0005] What is even more difficult is that when it is necessary to add lubricant to miniature bearings, the operation process is often very cumbersome. The usual practice is to open the bearing cover first, and then add lubricant drop by drop to each location that needs lubrication. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to uneven lubrication or over-lubrication due to improper operation. For some precision equipment, the process of opening the bearing cover itself may introduce dust or impurities, affecting the performance and life of the bearing. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a miniature bearing, which can add lubricating oil without opening the cover, is more convenient, can reduce dust and impurities entering the bearing, and prolong the service life of the bearing.

[0028] 7. Controllable lubrication process:
[0029] By pressing the rubber ring to control the addition of lubricant, the operator can better control the amount of lubricant added to avoid over-lubrication or under-lubrication problems.
[0030] 8. Automatic reset function:
[0031] The spring design between the slide bar and the rubber ring ensures that after lubrication, the slide bar can automatically reset to maintain the normal working state of the bearing.
[0032] 9. Improved sealing performance:
[0033] This design also helps maintain the sealing performance of the bearing, preventing lubricant leakage and the intrusion of external contaminants, as the cover does not need to be opened frequently.
[0034] 10. Reduced maintenance costs:
[0035] Simplified lubrication processes reduce the need for specialized maintenance and lower long-term bearing maintenance costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a miniature bearing comprises a housing 1. A cover 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1. A raceway 3 is provided in the housing 1. A plurality of balls 4 are provided in the raceway 3. A fixing frame 5 is connected between the balls 4. The fixing frame 5 is composed of two brackets 6, and the brackets 6 are fixed by a connecting pin 7. A gap 8 is provided between the brackets 6. The gap 8 allows lubricating oil to pass through.
[0045] The housing 1 is provided with a through groove 9 between every two balls 4. A sponge bar 10 is slidably connected in the through groove 9. The sponge bar 10 is connected to a slide bar 11. The multiple slide bars 11 are commonly connected to a rubber ring 13. The rubber ring 13 is elastic and can be deformed.
[0046] After the integral bearing is installed, the rubber ring 13 is sleeved outside the housing 1, and then each slide bar 11 and sponge strip 10 is aligned with the through groove 9, and the slide bar 11 and sponge strip 10 are inserted into the through groove 9 in turn through the deformation of the rubber ring 13 to complete the installation.
[0047] Optimally, a spring 12 is provided between the slide bar 11 and the rubber ring 13 for resetting the slide bar 11 .
[0048] Optimally, each sponge strip 10 is disposed corresponding to the gap 8 between the two brackets 6 .
[0049] Under the above setting, when lubricating oil needs to be added, the rubber ring 13 corresponding to each slide bar 11 can be squeezed in turn, and the slide bar 11 can be pressed into the inside of the housing 1 so that the sponge strip 10 abuts against the gap 8 between the two brackets 6. The sponge strip 10 is deformed, so that the lubricating oil in the sponge strip 10 enters the gap 8. The lubricating oil flows in the gap 8, flows to both sides along the gap 8, and then reaches the position of the ball 4. By lubricating the ball 4, the raceway 3 is lubricated when the ball 4 rolls.
[0050] Under the above arrangement, the ball 4 in the housing 1 can be lubricated by pressing the rubber ring 13 without disassembling the cover 2, which makes overall lubrication more convenient and prolongs the practical life of the bearing.
