[0024] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.
[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model, but the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present utility model provides the following embodiments.
[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the oil-impregnated bearing in this embodiment, including an inner ring 1 of the bearing, a bearing ball 2 and an outer ring 3 of the bearing. A plurality of bearing balls 2 are arranged on the outer surface of the inner ring 1 of the bearing. An outer ring 3 of the bearing is arranged outside the bearing balls 2. The inner ring 1 of the bearing rotates inside the outer ring 3 of the bearing. A flow guiding part 12 for assisting in the recovery of lubricating oil is arranged inside the inner ring 1 of the bearing, and fitting grooves 13 for absorbing and discharging lubricating oil are equidistantly arranged inside the flow guiding part 12.
[0028] During use, multiple groups of bearing balls 2 are placed on the inner wall of the bearing outer ring 3, and then the bearing inner ring 1 is installed inside the bearing outer ring 3. With the cooperation of the bearing balls 2, the bearing inner ring 1 rotates stably inside the bearing outer ring 3. When the bearing inner ring 1 rotates itself, its own temperature will gradually increase. Because the equipment is mainly supported by powder metallurgy technology, the lubricating oil contained in the bearing inner ring 1 is discharged due to the reduction in the size of the internal hole groove of the bearing inner ring 1, thereby lubricating the entire bearing. Subsequently, as the equipment stops running, the temperature of the bearing inner ring 1 itself drops, the size of the internal hole groove of the bearing expands, and the discharged lubricating oil is collected to complete the circulation of the lubricating oil.
[0029] By the attached Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bearing inner ring 1 in this embodiment, the bearing inner ring 1 includes a main component inner ring 11, a guide portion 12 and a matching groove 13, the main component inner ring 11 is rotatably installed in the bearing outer ring 3, the main component inner ring 11 is provided with a guide portion 12 on the outer surface, the guide portion 12 is provided with matching grooves 13 at equal intervals, and the overall cross-section of the guide portion 12 is trapezoidal.
[0030] During use, through the opening of the guide part 12, when the bearing inner ring 1 discharges the lubricating oil, the overall discharge angle and discharge position are limited, so that the lubricating oil is concentratedly discharged from the middle end of the guide part 12, and the outside of the bearing ball 2 is lubricated. The rolling of the bearing ball 2 itself is used to achieve lubrication of the entire equipment. The guide part 12 is trapezoidal in shape as a whole, and the heights of both sides are convex compared to the bottom of the guide part 12. When the bearing inner ring 1 rotates as a whole, the lubricating oil under the centrifugal force swing is blocked by the convexities on both sides, reducing the situation where the lubricating oil is directly discharged from the bearing body, and the subsequent lubricating oil will flow along the side of the guide part 12 to the bottom of the guide part 12, which is convenient for collecting the lubricating oil.
[0031] By the attached Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the inner discharge groove 14 and the collecting hole 15 in this embodiment. The bearing inner ring 1 also includes the inner discharge groove 14 and the collecting hole 15. The inner wall of the main component inner ring 11 is provided with the inner discharge groove 14, and the collecting holes 15 are symmetrically arranged inside the main component inner ring 11.
[0032] During use, through the use of the internal discharge groove 14, the inner ring 11 of the main component will also lubricate its own inner wall during operation, and the opening of the collecting hole 15 facilitates the collection and circulation of the lubricating oil. When the overall temperature of the bearing inner ring 1 increases, the overall aperture size of the collecting hole 15 changes, and the lubricating oil inside the collecting hole 15 is squeezed out.
[0033] By the attached Figure 4 As shown, a hole groove for conveying lubricating oil is opened at the end of the collecting hole 15 inside the inner ring 11 of the main component, which facilitates the circulation of lubricating oil during use and leaves a certain space for storing lubricating oil.
[0034] As shown in the appended Figure 5 figure, it is a schematic structural diagram of the bearing outer ring 3 in this embodiment. The bearing outer ring 3 includes a mating outer ring 31, a rolling groove 32, and an input component 33. The mating outer ring 31 is arranged outside the bearing inner ring 1. A rolling groove 32 is formed inside the mating outer ring 31. The rolling groove 32 is slidably connected with the bearing balls 2. The input component 33 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mating outer ring 31.
[0035] During use, the bearing balls 2 roll on the inner surface of the rolling groove 32 to assist the overall stable operation of the device. When it is necessary to replenish lubricating oil for the whole device, through the use of the input component 33, the lubricating oil is quickly input into the bearing outer ring 3, so that the lubricating oil flows into the bearing inner ring 1 to complete the replenishment of the lubricating oil.
[0036] As shown in the appended Figure 6 figure, a storage bin for storing lubricating oil is formed inside the input component 33. An oil outlet hole is formed jointly with the inside of the mating outer ring 31. During use, the lubricating oil is input into the storage bin, and then through the cooperation of the oil outlet hole, the lubricating oil in the storage bin is discharged onto the surfaces of the bearing balls 2 and the bearing inner ring 1 to complete the replenishment of the lubricating oil.
[0037] As shown in the appended Figure 6 figure, a sealing plug for assisting in sealing the storage bin is installed on the upper surface of the input component 33. During use, the overall sealing effect of the input component 33 is ensured, preventing the lubricating oil in the storage bin from being discharged, and ensuring the stability of the component during use.
[0038] The above content further elaborates on the present utility model in combination with specific embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, which should all be regarded as falling within the protection scope determined by the claims submitted for the present utility model.
