[0002] The self-adjusting thrust disk is a mechanical design, usually used in bearing systems, especially in occasions where high thrust is borne and high-precision positioning is required. In many industrial applications, such as heavy machinery, aerospace, high-speed trains, etc., a mechanical component that can bear huge thrust and maintain high precision is needed. The self-adjusting thrust disk emerges as the times require to meet these needs. Traditional thrust disks may not be able to adapt to different load conditions or wear situations, resulting in performance degradation or premature failure. The design of the self-adjusting thrust disk aims to overcome these limitations. The key characteristic of the self-adjusting thrust disk is its self-adaptability. It can automatically adjust its position or shape according to the change of the load to maintain the best working state.
[0003] In actual use, since the lubricating fluid cannot be automatically replenished, as time goes by and the equipment runs, the lubricating fluid will gradually decrease, resulting in insufficient lubrication. Insufficient lubrication may lead to an increase in friction between the thrust disk and other contacting components, thereby accelerating wear and shortening the service life of the components. As the lubrication condition deteriorates, the operating performance of the thrust disk may decline, affecting the working efficiency and stability of the entire equipment. The lack of automatic replenishment of the lubricating fluid may cause the equipment to malfunction due to lubrication problems at critical moments, reducing the reliability of the equipment. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a self-adjusting thrust disk. Through the spring that abuts against the rear end of the second fixing column, the spring can be compressed when subjected to an external force and automatically reset after the force disappears, providing a buffering effect. The abutting position of the ball inside the lubricating groove helps to evenly distribute the lubricating fluid, ensuring the effectiveness of the lubrication system, reducing wear, and extending the service life of the equipment. The good sealing performance enables the equipment to be used in more diverse working environments, including harsh dust environments or environments with higher humidity.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, a self-adjusting thrust disk is provided, including: a main body. A groove is opened at the rear end of the main body.

A spring abuts against the rear end of the second fixing column, and the spring and the inside of the first fixing column penetrate through. A ball abuts against the rear end of the spring, and the ball abuts against the inner ring of the first fixing column.
[0006] A third fixing post penetrates through the front end of the lubricating groove, and a sealing post is threadedly connected to the inner ring of the third fixing post.
[0007] According to the self-adjusting thrust disc described above, a first through hole is provided at the front end of the main body, and the first through hole cooperates with the front end of the main body.

[0027] Working principle: First, install the rear end of the main body 1 into the groove 4 to ensure that the groove 4 can provide stable support and positioning. This mating function ensures the correct position and stability of the main body 1 in the structure. Set up a lubricating groove 6 inside the main body 1 and ensure that the rear end of the lubricating groove 6 is parallel to the groove 4. This parallel mating ensures that the lubricating groove 6 can work smoothly with the groove 4, providing a benchmark for the installation of subsequent components. Pass the first fixing post 7 through the rear end of the lubricating groove 6 and ensure that the front end of the first fixing post 7 can be aligned and fixed with the groove 4. This alignment and fixing function guarantee the stability and consistency of the first fixing post 7 between the lubricating groove 6 and the groove 4. Fix the second fixing post 8 to the front end of the first fixing post 7 and ensure that the front and rear ends of the second fixing post 8 are aligned with the first fixing post 7. This fixed connection and alignment function provide a stable support point for the spring 10 and other components. Pass the spring 10 through the first fixing post 7 and ensure that the rear end of the spring 10 abuts against the ball 11 and the front end abuts against the rear end of the second fixing post 8. This abutting function enables the spring 10 to provide uniform elastic force inside the first fixing post 7, realizing automatic reset or buffering. Place the ball 11 at the rear end of the spring 10 and ensure that the ball 11 can roll on the inner ring of the first fixing post 7. This rolling mating allows the ball 11 to reduce friction, improve the flexibility and smoothness of movement, and enables the ball 11 to introduce lubricating fluid into the groove in time when abutting inside the groove 4. This design ensures the effectiveness of the lubrication system. The position and movement of the ball 11 contribute to the distribution of the lubricating fluid. Pass the third fixing post 13 through the front end of the lubricating groove 6 and fix the sealing post 12 on the inner ring of the third fixing post 13 with threads. This threaded mating ensures the fixing and sealing effect of the sealing post 12, preventing lubricant leakage. Install the first through hole 2 at the front end of the main body 1. This installation enables the first through hole 2 to serve as an interface for connecting other components, providing necessary connection points. Install the limiting groove 3 on the outer ring of the first through hole 2. The installation of the limiting groove 3 provides additional stability and positioning for the first through hole 2, preventing it from shifting during operation. Set up an observation port 5 on the front side of the main body 1 and ensure that the observation port 5 can clearly observe the situation inside the lubricating groove 6. The setting of the observation port 5 provides a convenient inspection point, enabling maintenance personnel to directly check the state of the lubricating groove 6 and perform maintenance or adjustment in a timely manner.
