Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of needle rollers, and more specifically, to a needle roller with a lubricating oil groove structure. Background Art
[0002] As an important component on a bearing, when in use, a needle roller is rotatably connected to a needle roller holder, and the needle roller is located between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing; currently, the needle rollers on the market are columnar objects made of metal materials. After the needle rollers are applied to the bearing, since the needle rollers themselves do not have a lubricating structure, there will be a disadvantage of large rotational damping between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing, that is, there will not only be a disadvantage of poor smoothness of rotation of the inner ring of the bearing relative to the outer ring of the bearing, but also it is easy to cause wear of the needle rollers, the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing and affect the service life of the bearing. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a needle roller with a lubricating oil groove structure, which can realize the lubrication of the needle roller, the needle roller holder, the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing, thereby effectively avoiding the wear of the needle roller, the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing and improving the service life of the bearing.
[0004] The utility model provides a needle roller with a lubricating oil groove structure, including a needle roller body. There are two spiral lubricating oil grooves arranged on the outer wall of the needle roller body. Both of the two lubricating oil grooves extend along the axial direction of the needle roller body, and the spiral directions of the two lubricating oil grooves are opposite; a storage oil cavity is arranged inside the needle roller body. The storage oil cavity penetrates through the needle roller body along the axial direction of the needle roller body. Plug heads are connected to both ends of the storage oil cavity. A sponge is filled inside the storage oil cavity, and lubricating oil is adsorbed in the sponge; a plurality of oil guiding channels are arranged on both the front side and the rear side of the needle roller body at intervals along the axial direction of the needle roller body. Each oil guiding channel extends along the radial direction of the needle roller body. The inner end of each oil guiding channel is communicated with the storage oil cavity, and the outer end of each oil guiding channel is communicated with one of the lubricating oil grooves.
[0005] After the utility model adopts the above structure, when the needle roller is applied to the bearing, when the needle roller rotates with the needle roller holder and the inner ring of the bearing, the lubricating oil adsorbed in the sponge can flow into the lubricating oil groove through the oil guiding channel under the action of centrifugal force. The lubricating oil entering the lubricating oil groove can realize the lubrication of the needle roller, the needle roller holder, the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing, thereby reducing the rotational damping between the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing, that is, enabling the inner ring of the bearing to rotate more smoothly relative to the outer ring of the bearing, and effectively avoiding the wear of the needle roller, the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing and improving the service life of the bearing.
[0006] In a possible implementation, the plug is made of rubber material. The inner end of the plug is inserted into the end of the oil storage cavity and is tightly sealed against the inner wall of the end of the oil storage cavity. An annular convex edge is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer end of the plug, and the annular convex edge abuts against the outer end face in the axial direction of the needle roller body. After adopting this structure, after the inner end of the plug is inserted into the end of the oil storage cavity, the outer peripheral wall of the inner end of the plug can be tightly sealed against the inner peripheral wall of the end of the oil storage cavity, that is, the plug can reliably seal the end of the oil storage cavity. By providing an annular convex edge on the outer peripheral wall of the outer end of the plug, when it is necessary to remove the plug from the end of the oil storage cavity, the annular convex edge can be pulled to make the plug disengage from the needle roller body, that is, it is convenient to disassemble the plug from the needle roller body. After the plug is disassembled, the user can add lubricating oil to the oil storage cavity, and the lubricating oil entering the oil storage cavity can be adsorbed in the sponge. In addition, by designing the oil storage cavity as a structure penetrating the needle roller body and installing plugs at both ends of the oil storage cavity, the user can disassemble the plug on either side to add lubricating oil to the oil storage cavity, thereby improving the flexibility of adding lubricating oil.
[0007] In a possible implementation, an annular chamfered surface is provided on the outer wall of the inner end of the plug. The annular chamfered surface is used to cooperate with the inner wall of the end of the oil storage cavity for guiding so as to facilitate the insertion of the inner end of the plug into the end of the oil storage cavity. By providing an annular chamfered surface on the outer wall of the inner end of the plug, when assembling the inner end of the plug with the end of the oil storage cavity, the annular chamfered surface can cooperate with the inner wall of the end of the oil storage cavity for guiding so as to facilitate the insertion of the inner end of the plug into the end of the oil storage cavity, that is, it is convenient to assemble the plug with the needle roller body.
[0008] In a possible implementation, annular rounded surfaces are formed on the outer peripheral walls at both ends in the axial direction of the needle roller body. By providing the outer peripheral walls at both ends in the axial direction of the needle roller body as annular rounded surfaces, after the needle roller body is installed on the needle roller cage in the bearing, the friction between the two ends of the needle roller body and the needle roller cage can be effectively reduced, that is, the rotational damping between the needle roller body and the needle roller cage can be reduced, and it can also make the rotation of the needle roller body and the needle roller cage smoother.
