Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bearing preloading, and particularly to a preloading switching structure. Background Art

[0002] The high-speed operation of the machine tool spindle centered on the machining center is very obvious, and the highest d m n value (d m : rolling element center diameter: mm, n: rotational speed min -1 ) can reach 250 - 380x10 when using oil-air lubrication. 4 Considering from the spindle aspect, from low-speed operation to high-speed operation, the bearing is required to have good rigidity. Therefore, by applying the most appropriate preloading to the bearing, high-speed and high-rigidity functions can be provided.

[0003] In the case of heavy preloading, the bearing has a large frictional force and is suitable for low-speed operation; in the case of light preloading, the bearing has a small frictional force and is suitable for high-speed operation.

[0004] Bearing preloading usually adopts the constant-pressure preloading (spring preloading) method, which cannot meet the usage requirements of multiple working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to meet the usage requirements of multiple working conditions, the present application provides a preloading switching structure.

[0006] A preloading switching structure provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A preloading switching structure includes a fixing member, a supporting member, a first sliding member, and a second sliding member.

[0008] The supporting member is connected to the fixing member.

[0009] The first sliding member is slidably connected to the fixing member.

[0010] The second sliding member is slidably connected to the fixing member, the sliding direction of the second sliding member is parallel to the sliding direction of the first sliding member, and the second sliding member is located between the supporting member and the first sliding member.

[0011] Fluids are to be injected between the supporting member and the second sliding member, and between the second sliding member and the first sliding member.

[0012] The projected area of the second sliding member on plane A is not equal to the projected area of the first sliding member on plane A, and plane A is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first sliding member.

[0013] The fixing member is used for installing the spindle, and makes the axial direction of the spindle parallel to the sliding direction of the first sliding member. The fixing member is used for axial fixation with the spindle.

[0014] One side of the first sliding member facing away from the second sliding member is used to abut against the bearing.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, in the case of not injecting fluid, the acting force (preload force) of the first sliding member on the bearing is the smallest; when the fluid pressure is a fixed value, fluid is injected between the support member and the second sliding member or between the second sliding member and the first sliding member to control the change of the acting force (preload force) of the first sliding member on the bearing; so as to meet the usage requirements of multiple working conditions.

[0016] Preferably, a first positioning member is further included.

[0017] The first positioning member is connected to the fixing member.

[0018] The first positioning member is used for the first sliding member to abut against, so as to limit the maximum distance between the first sliding member and the support member.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, in the case of injecting fluid between the second sliding member and the first sliding member, the maximum value of the preload force is limited.

[0020] Preferably, a second positioning member is further included.

[0021] The second positioning member is connected to the fixing member.

[0022] The second positioning member is used for the second sliding member to abut against, so as to limit the maximum distance between the second sliding member and the support member.

[0023] When the distance between the second sliding member and the support member is at the maximum value, there is no mutual acting force between the surface of the first sliding member facing away from the second sliding member and the first positioning member.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, in the case of injecting fluid between the support member and the second sliding member, the maximum value of the preload force is limited; and it is ensured that the acting force of the fluid on the second sliding member is all transmitted to the bearing.

[0025] Preferably, a second positioning member is further included.

[0026] The second positioning member is connected to the fixing member.

[0027] The second positioning member is used for the second sliding member to abut against, so as to limit the maximum distance between the second sliding member and the support member.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, in the case of injecting fluid between the support member and the second sliding member, the maximum value of the preload force is limited.

[0029] Preferably, between the opposite surfaces of the first sliding member and the second sliding member, a first injection groove is provided at one surface.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the tight fit between the opposite surfaces of the first sliding member and the second sliding member is avoided, so as to facilitate the inflow of fluid into the first injection groove.

[0031] Preferably, the surface of the second sliding member facing the first sliding member is a flat surface.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, between the opposite surfaces of the first sliding member and the second sliding member, one surface is designed as a flat surface, which is convenient for fluid pressure relief.

[0033] Preferably, between the opposite surfaces of the second sliding member and the support member, a second injection groove is provided at one surface.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the tight fit between the opposite surfaces of the second sliding member and the support member is avoided, so as to facilitate the inflow of fluid into the second injection groove.

[0035] Preferably, the surface of the second sliding member facing the support member is a flat surface.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, between the opposite surfaces of the second sliding member and the support member, one surface is designed as a flat surface, which is convenient for fluid pressure relief.

[0037] Preferably, a working groove is provided at the surface of the first sliding member facing away from the second sliding member.

[0038] When fluid is injected into the working groove, the force of the fluid on the first sliding member causes the first sliding member to have a tendency to approach the second sliding member.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when no fluid is injected or fluid is injected between the support member and the second sliding member, the first sliding member is always pressed against the second sliding member to ensure correct switching between these two states.

[0040] Preferably, an elastic member is further included.

[0041] The elastic member is located on the side of the first sliding member facing away from the second sliding member, and the elastic member is used to press against the bearing.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to keep the force on the bearing stable and beneficial to the stable operation of the bearing.

[0043] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0044] 1. Without injecting fluid, the force (preload) of the first sliding member on the bearing is minimized; when the fluid pressure is constant, fluid is injected between the support member and the second sliding member or between the second sliding member and the first sliding member to control the change in the force (preload) of the first sliding member on the bearing, so as to meet the usage requirements under multiple working conditions.

[0045] 2. The first positioning member and the second positioning member are used to respectively limit the maximum values of the preloads in two states.

[0046] 3. An elastic member is provided to facilitate the stability of the force on the bearing and the stable operation of the bearing. Description of the Drawings
