As Figures 2 - 6 , shown in Figures 19 - 23, the bearing housing assembly 2 includes a bearing housing 21 and a number of movable sector bearing sliders 22 evenly distributed and installed on the bearing housing. As Figures 10 - 13 shown, the middle of the bottom surface of the sector bearing slider 22 has a convex boss 221 and limit posts 222 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the convex boss. As Figures 7 - 9 , shown in Figure 24, the upper end surface of the bearing housing 21 has mounting holes 211 with clearance fit for the limit posts 222. The height of the limit posts 222 is less than the depth of the mounting holes 211. When the sector bearing slider 22 is installed therein, the convex boss 221 is in supporting contact with the upper plane of the bearing housing 21, and the sector bearing slider 22 can swing in a supported manner with the convex boss 221 as the center. The bearing housing assembly 2 also includes a gland 23. As Figures 2 - 6 , shown in Figures 19 - 23, the gland is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the bearing housing 21, and the sliding plane of the sector bearing slider 22 is exposed. As Figures 10 - 13As shown, on both sides of the sector bearing slider 22, there are symmetrically arranged fins 223. The fins are covered by the gland 23 but have a certain movement distance, which allows the sector bearing slider 22 to swing and prevents the sector bearing slider 22 from reversing and falling off. In this embodiment, by Figure 1 and 18 As shown, the thrust disk 1 is fixed to the end of the rotor shaft. The end plane thereof is matched with the sector bearing slider 22 of the bearing seat assembly 2 to form a friction pair, thus forming a thrust bearing. The gland 23 is formed by stamping a stainless steel plate and can be fixed to the bearing seat 21 by a self-locking buckle method or by screws. This structure is simple and convenient for installation.

[0038] By Figures 1 - 17 As shown, as one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the gland 23 is in the shape of a cylinder and is sleeved on the outer circle of the bearing seat 21. The upper end surface thereof has a limiting hole 231 that can expose the sliding plane of the sector bearing slider 22 and cover the fin 223. At the central position surrounded by the limiting hole, there is a downwardly protruding concave pool 232. The bottom surface of the concave pool 232 is supported by the bearing seat 21.

On the disk plane between the two U-shaped notches, there is also a downwardly protruding counterbore 235. The center of the counterbore 235 has a screw hole 236. The height of the downward protrusion of the counterbore 235 is less than the installation height of the sector bearing slider 22 on the bearing seat 21 and greater than the installation height of the fin 223. Corresponding to the upper end surface of the bearing seat 21, there is a screw hole 213 that matches the position of the screw hole 236. The gland 23 is fixed to the bearing seat 21 by a fixing screw 24. In this embodiment, the gland 23 can be formed by stamping a stainless steel plate. It relies on the protruding height at the bottom of the counterbore 235 to fix the installation height and is fixed by the fixing screw 24. The structure is simple, and the installation is convenient, stable, and firm.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, which do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model. As long as the purpose of the present utility model is implemented by substantially the same means, it shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
