Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of magnetic bearings and relates to a magnetic bearing structure used for turbine machinery. Background Art
[0002] Magnetic bearings are used in a variety of machines, such as pumps, turbines, electric motors, and compressors. In many machines, the rotating shaft is supported mechanically, using ball magnetic bearings, cylindrical magnetic bearings, partially lubricated magnetic bearings, or hydrostatic magnetic bearings. Magnetic bearings are essential components in turbomachinery.
[0003] In existing magnetic bearing designs, the rolling pins are completely exposed to the air. Long-term exposure can lead to a large amount of dust adsorbed on the rolling pins' surfaces. When the dust-laden rolling pins roll inside the housing, they can cause wear and scratches inside the housing, increasing rolling friction. Furthermore, when the magnetic bearings are fitted with components or mounted on magnetic bearing supports, their lubricity deteriorates over time, leading to their failure.
[0004] Although the magnetic bearings in existing turbomachinery use separate dust covers or dust plates for dust protection, these dust prevention measures often lack effective sealing structures and are unable to promptly remove any dust that may adhere. This may still cause trace amounts of dust to enter the interior, and the dust cannot be cleaned promptly. Dust accumulation during long-term use will aggravate the wear of the magnetic bearings, ultimately causing the magnetic bearings to become scrapped.
[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the existing magnetic bearing structure to enhance its dustproof performance and lubrication retention ability. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a magnetic bearing structure for turbomachinery to solve the technical problems that the rolling shaft of the existing magnetic bearing is exposed to dust absorption for a long time, wears the outer shell and increases friction when rolling, and reduces lubricity after long-term use, which may eventually cause the bearing to be scrapped.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] The utility model provides a magnetic bearing structure for a turbomachinery, comprising a magnetic bearing outer ring, a magnetic bearing inner ring being arranged in the inner cavity of the magnetic bearing outer ring, a plurality of oil filling holes being symmetrically provided on the top surface and the bottom surface of the magnetic bearing outer ring; a dustproof plate being provided at the bottom of the magnetic bearing outer ring; a through hole being provided through the center of the dustproof plate, and an upward convex ring being provided on the dustproof plate around the through hole; a dustproof cover being provided at the top of the magnetic bearing outer ring, a through hole being provided at the center of the dustproof cover, a plurality of grooves being provided on the dustproof cover around the periphery of the through hole, and a brush being fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the dustproof cover.
[0009] In one embodiment, the dust cover is threadedly connected to the top end of the inner wall of the outer ring of the magnetic bearing.
[0010] In one embodiment, a retaining frame is provided between the outer ring of the magnetic bearing and the inner ring of the magnetic bearing, and balls are provided inside the retaining frame.
[0011] In one embodiment, a first raceway is provided on one side of the connection between the center of the inner wall of the outer ring of the magnetic bearing and the ball, and a second raceway is provided on one side of the connection between the center of the outer side of the inner ring of the magnetic bearing and the ball; the ball is located between the first raceway and the second raceway.
[0012] In one embodiment, the outlet ends of the oil filling holes are both connected to the first raceway.
[0013] In one embodiment, the oil filling hole is inclined toward the ball, the oil filling hole opened on the top surface of the magnetic bearing outer ring is inclined downward, and the oil filling hole opened on the bottom surface of the magnetic bearing outer ring is inclined upward.
[0014] In one embodiment, several of the oil filling holes are provided with sealing plugs.
[0015] In one embodiment, the outer ring of the inner ring of the magnetic bearing is fixedly connected to a stator, the inner ring of the inner ring of the magnetic bearing is provided with a rotor, and a coil is provided inside the stator.
[0016] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the dust cover is consistent with the inner diameter of the outer ring of the magnetic bearing, and the diameter of the through hole on the dust cover is consistent with the diameter of the rotor; the diameter of the through hole on the dust plate is consistent with the diameter of the rotor, and the diameter of the dust plate is consistent with the outer diameter of the outer ring of the magnetic bearing.
[0017] In one embodiment, the magnetic bearing outer ring and the magnetic bearing inner ring are magnetic bearing components made of high carbon steel.
[0018] In one embodiment, the surface of the outer ring of the magnetic bearing is sprayed with wear-resistant paint.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The utility model provides a magnetic bearing structure for turbomachinery. A central through-hole in the dust shield allows the rolling shaft to pass through, effectively isolating dust. A raised ring surrounding the through-hole on the dust shield acts as a seal to further block dust. A central through-hole in the dust cover allows the rolling shaft to rotate. A brush mounted on the underside of the dust cover constantly cleans the balls, preventing dust and other impurities from settling on the balls and improving the operating efficiency and service life of the magnetic bearing. The combination of the dust shield and dust cover allows the inner shaft to be completely embedded in a relatively sealed space, effectively isolating most dust from the inner and outer rings and preventing external dust from entering the rotating cage and balls. The raised ring not only further seals against dust, but also removes dust with the brush. The design of the dust shield and dust cover not only enhances the dustproof performance of the bearing but also prevents the lubricating oil from escaping the magnetic bearing, enhancing its dustproof performance and effectively reducing its coefficient of friction. Furthermore, the oil filling holes on the outer ring of the magnetic bearing allow lubrication of the magnetic bearing to be selected based on the actual installation conditions. This combination of sealing and lubricity enables the bearing to maintain a stable lubrication state during long-term use, thereby reducing the scrapping of bearings due to poor lubrication.
[0021] Furthermore, the high mechanical hardness of the magnetic bearing outer and inner rings enables the bearings to maintain good stability and durability even when subjected to heavy loads and high-speed rotation. This high mechanical hardness not only extends the bearing's service life but also improves its overall performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

An external thread 9 is provided at the connection between the outer ring 1 of the magnetic bearing and the dust cover 8. An internal thread 10 is provided on the surface of the dust cover 8. The internal thread 10 is correspondingly arranged with the external thread 9. A first raceway 11 is provided on one side of the connection between the center of the inner wall of the outer ring 1 of the magnetic bearing and the ball 4. A second raceway 13 is provided on one side of the connection between the center of the outer side of the inner ring 2 of the magnetic bearing and the ball 4. Oil injection holes 12 are provided on both sides of the top and both sides of the bottom of the outer ring 1 of the magnetic bearing. One end of each oil injection hole 12 is fixedly communicated with the first raceway 11.
[0034] Preferably, the hole direction of the oil injection hole 12 is inclined towards the direction of the ball 4. A sealing plug 14 is provided on each of the plurality of oil injection holes 12.

[0039] During specific use, for a magnetic bearing structure for turbomachinery provided by the present utility model, the inner shaft frame is embedded between the dust cover 8 and the dust plate 5. A finger or a rotating tool is inserted into the groove 15, and then the dust cover 8 is screwed into the interior of the outer ring 1 of the magnetic bearing, enabling the external thread 9 to cooperate with the internal thread 10 to tightly fix the dust cover 8 on the outer ring 1 of the magnetic bearing. Through the cooperation of the dust plate 5 and the dust cover 8, the rolling shaft columns are sealed, preventing a large amount of dust from adhering to the rolling shaft columns and wearing out the inner part of the housing, thereby increasing the sliding friction. During the operation of the magnetic bearing, the cage 3 wraps around the balls 4 and rolls between the first raceway 11 and the second raceway 13. After long-term use, lubricating oil is injected through the oil injection hole 12 and evenly coated in the first raceway 11 and the second raceway 13 by the continuous rolling of the balls 4 to achieve smooth rotation of the magnetic bearing, ensuring sufficient lubrication, improving the sensitivity of the magnetic bearing during operation, and extending the service life of the magnetic bearing while enhancing its working efficiency. The overall structure is simple and highly practical, suitable for social promotion.

Oil injection holes 12 are opened on both sides of the top and bottom of the magnetic bearing outer ring 1.
