Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic motors, and particularly to an improved roller bearing for a hydraulic motor, aiming to reduce the misalignment and wear of rollers during high-speed rotation through design optimization, and at the same time improve the lubrication effect of the roller bearing. Background Art
[0002] A hydraulic motor is a device that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. As an important component in a hydraulic system, its performance directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. The working principle of a hydraulic motor is similar to that of a hydraulic cylinder, but the difference is that a hydraulic motor converts pressure energy into rotational motion instead of linear motion. The specific working principle is as follows: 1. Hydraulic oil enters: The hydraulic oil enters the cylinder of the hydraulic motor through a control valve. 2. Pressure difference drive: A pressure difference is formed on both sides of the cylinder, and this pressure difference drives the rotor or plunger of the motor to start rotating. 3. Energy conversion: The rotational motion is transmitted to the required device or machine through a drive shaft, thus realizing the conversion of hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. The working principle of the hydraulic motor enables it to produce high torque and high-speed output, so it is widely used in applications that require a large amount of power and continuous rotational motion.
[0003] As a key connecting component in a hydraulic motor, a roller bearing is used to fix the connecting rod on the crankshaft, enabling the connecting rod to rotate following the crankshaft, and playing an important role in fixing, sealing, and transmitting torque. In the design of traditional roller bearings for hydraulic motors, due to the lack of effective spacing and support between adjacent rollers, misalignment is likely to occur during high-speed rotation, resulting in increased wear, affecting the service life of the roller bearing and the overall performance of the hydraulic motor. In addition, traditional lubrication methods for roller bearings often have problems such as uneven lubrication and insufficient oil supply, further exacerbating the wear of the rollers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved roller bearing for a hydraulic motor. By designing an annular retaining ring to space the rollers, misalignment of the rollers is effectively avoided, wear is reduced, and by optimizing the oil passage design on the crankshaft sleeve and the crankshaft, the lubrication effect of the roller bearing is improved.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] An improved roller bearing for a hydraulic motor, comprising a crankshaft, a crankshaft sleeve, and a plurality of rollers, the rollers being arranged between the eccentric part of the crankshaft and the crankshaft sleeve; the roller bearing further comprises a plurality of annular retaining rings, one of the retaining rings being provided between adjacent rollers, the retaining ring being fixedly connected to the crankshaft sleeve or the eccentric part of the crankshaft for spacing adjacent rollers apart.
[0007] In order to improve the service life of the retaining piece, the retaining piece is made of wear-resistant and high-strength alloy material.
[0008] In order to lubricate the rollers, a first oil passage and a second oil passage are respectively arranged axially and radially along the crankshaft. The first oil passage communicates with the roller bearing through the second oil passage for introducing oil into the roller bearing for lubrication. A plurality of the second oil passages extend radially and uniformly along the crankshaft to form a lubricating layer on the contact surface with the rollers. The first oil passage extends axially along the crankshaft and leads out from one end of the crankshaft.
[0009] In order to reduce the processing cost of the roller bearing, the rollers of the roller bearing are made by reforming on the basis of the existing roller bearing, and the thickness d1 of the retaining piece + the width d2 of the roller ≤ the thickness d of the original roller.
[0010] In order to achieve uniform lubrication, a plurality of the second oil passages are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the roller bearing.
[0011] Furthermore, a boss is arranged on one side of the crankshaft sleeve facing the roller bearing. A lubricating cavity is formed between the boss and the crankshaft, and the boss is arranged at the middle position of the crankshaft sleeve.
[0012] In order to improve the service performance of the retaining piece, the surface of the retaining piece is subjected to carburizing, nitriding or surface quenching treatment to improve its hardness and wear resistance.
[0013] Furthermore, the retaining piece is connected to the crankshaft sleeve or the crankshaft through an elastic connecting piece to allow the retaining piece to have a certain elastic deformation when the roller rotates, further reducing friction and wear.
[0014] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the first oil passage and / or the second oil passage is oval or rectangular to increase the contact area between the oil and the contact surface of the roller and improve the lubrication effect.
[0015] Furthermore: an oil distribution groove is also arranged on the crankshaft for uniformly distributing the oil introduced from the oil inlet hole into each second oil passage to ensure the uniformity of lubrication.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] 1. By designing an annular retaining piece to separate each roller, the dislocation and wear of the rollers during high-speed rotation are effectively avoided, and the service life of the roller bearing and the overall performance of the hydraulic motor are improved;
[0018] 2. By optimizing the oil passage design on the crankshaft sleeve and the crankshaft, uniform lubrication of the roller bearing is achieved, and the service life of the roller bearing is further extended. Description of the Drawings

[0026] As Figures 1-3 shown, this embodiment provides an improved roller bearing for a hydraulic motor, including a crankshaft 1, a crankshaft sleeve 2, and a plurality of rollers 3. The rollers 3 are arranged between the crankshaft 1 and the crankshaft sleeve 2 to support the crankshaft 1 and allow it to rotate relative to each other.
[0027] The roller bearing further includes a plurality of annular retaining plates 4. A retaining plate 4 is arranged between two adjacent rollers 3. The retaining plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crankshaft sleeve 2 and can be installed on the crankshaft sleeve 2 by interference fit. The retaining plate 4 is made of wear-resistant and high-strength materials, such as stainless steel, to improve the durability and load-bearing capacity of the retaining plate. The shape of the retaining plate 4 is a flat ring, and its size is precisely calculated to ensure a reasonable gap between the retaining plate 4 and the rollers 3. By arranging the retaining plate 4, each roller 3 is independently spaced apart, which can effectively prevent the misalignment and wear of the rollers 3 and avoid excessive resistance to the normal rotation of the rollers 3.
[0028] In order to lubricate the rollers 3 and the retaining plates 4 and reduce material wear, a lubrication system is designed on the crankshaft 1. Specifically, an oil inlet hole 5 is opened on the crankshaft 1, and a first oil passage 6 and a second oil passage 7 are respectively opened along the radial and axial directions. The oil inlet hole 5 is communicated with the second oil passage 7 through the first oil passage 6 for introducing external oil into the roller bearing for lubrication. The second oil passage 7 extends along the radial direction of the crankshaft 1 and forms a lubricating layer with the contact surface of the rollers 3 to reduce the friction and wear between the rollers 3 and the crankshaft 1. In order to achieve uniform lubrication, a plurality of second oil passages 7 can be evenly spaced along the width direction of the bearing to uniformly lubricate each roller 3.
[0029] During use, external oil enters the crankshaft 1 through the oil inlet hole 5 and is evenly distributed to the contact surfaces of the rollers 3 through the first oil passage 6 and the second oil passage 7 to achieve the lubrication of the roller bearing and ensure that the roller bearing always maintains a good lubrication state.
[0030] To further enhance lubrication, a convex platform 201 is designed on one side of the middle part of the crankshaft sleeve 2 facing the crankshaft 1. A plurality of rollers 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the convex platform 201, and a lubrication cavity 8 for the lubricating liquid to pass through is formed between the convex platform 201 and the crankshaft 1.

At the same time, the surface of the retaining plate 4 is carburized to improve its hardness and wear resistance. Embodiment 3
[0032] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except for the shape and installation method of the retaining plate. In this embodiment, the retaining plate 4 is connected to the crankshaft sleeve 2 through an elastic connecting piece (such as a spring piece). Specifically, a retaining plate groove 401 is opened on the crankshaft sleeve 2, and the end of the retaining plate 4 is clamped into the above-mentioned retaining plate groove 401, and elastic thin sheets are arranged on both sides of the retaining plate 4 to allow the retaining plate 4 to have a certain elastic deformation when the rollers 3 rotate, further reducing friction and wear. Embodiment 4
[0033] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except for the optimization of the oil passage design. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first oil passage 6 is oval to increase the contact area between the oil and the contact surface of the roller 3 and improve the lubrication effect. At the same time, an oil distribution groove (not shown) is also provided on the crankshaft 1 for evenly distributing the oil introduced through the oil inlet hole 5 into each first oil passage 6 to ensure the uniformity of lubrication. Embodiment 5
[0034] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except for the intelligence of the lubrication system. In this embodiment, it further includes an oil pressure sensor (not shown) and a control system (not shown). The oil pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure and flow rate of the oil in real time, and the control system automatically adjusts the opening degree of the oil inlet hole 5 or the supply amount of the oil according to the monitoring results to ensure that the roller bearing always maintains a good lubrication state. Embodiment 6
[0035] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except for the maintenance of the roller bearing. In this embodiment, a detachable maintenance cover (not shown) is provided on the crankshaft sleeve 2 for conveniently checking and replacing the retaining piece 4 or performing other maintenance work.
