[0002] When the torsion bar suspension bearing of the track chassis road wheel is working, its radial load is extremely large, while the axial load is relatively small and it needs to bear axial loads in two directions.

It is necessary to ensure the reliability and long service life of the bearing seal under conditions of high wading depth and high water pressure. The lip seal structure commonly used in roller bearings cannot meet this requirement at high wading depth and pressure, so the sealing structure of the existing roller bearings must be improved.

[0021] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

[0022] The structure of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-6 :

[0023] A crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing comprises an inner ring 1, an outer ring 2 and a roller 3, wherein the inner ring 1 is provided with an inner ring raceway 1.1, the outer ring 2 is provided with an outer ring raceway 2.1, and the roller 3 is rotatably arranged between the inner ring raceway 1.1 and the outer ring raceway 2.1; a double-lip skeleton sealing ring 4 is provided at one end of the inner ring 1 and the outer ring 2, and a retaining ring A5 is floatingly provided at the other end, an O-ring 6 is provided between the retaining ring A5 and the outer ring 2, and the O-ring 6 is provided with a pre-load; the floating design of the retaining ring A5 enables the O-ring 6 to automatically adjust its position when the pre-load is applied, thereby ensuring that the pre-load applied to the O-ring 6 is uniform; in addition, the O-ring 6 will wear during the operation of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing, and the floating design of the retaining ring A5 will make the O-ring 6 wear evenly, thereby extending the service life of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing.

[0024] Furthermore, the contact surfaces of the outer ring 2, the retaining ring A5 and the O-ring 6 are all conical surfaces. When an O-ring sealing structure is usually adopted, the O-ring adopts a radial preload method. To ensure that the O-ring is not damaged during the assembly process, the diameter and preload of the O-ring are relatively small, the preload amount is also fixed, and it cannot provide axial load, which obviously cannot meet the special operating conditions of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing. However, in this crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing, in order to enable the O-ring 6 to provide axial load and reliable sealing effect, the diameter of the O-ring 6 is relatively large (up to 10 mm or more), the preload amount is also large, and the preload changes with the axial load. Therefore, a double-conical contact preload sealing structure of the outer ring 2, the retaining ring A5 and the O-ring 6 is adopted. This not only solves the assembly problem of the O-ring 6 with a large diameter and large preload amount, but also can withstand the axial load and waterproof seal through the preload of the O-ring 6, thereby fully meeting the special operating conditions of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing.

[0025] Furthermore, a retaining ring B7 is fixedly provided on the outside of the retaining ring A5; the retaining ring B7 is used to fix and limit the position of the retaining ring A5 on the axis to prevent the retaining ring A5 and the O-ring 6 from falling off during transportation of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing.

[0026] Furthermore, raceway ribs 1.2 are provided on both sides of the inner ring raceway 1.1 of the inner ring 1, and the rollers 3 are provided between the raceway ribs 1.2.

[0027] Furthermore, the rollers 3 are arranged in pairs, and the adjacent end faces abut against each other. The use of rollers 3 arranged in pairs correspondingly shortens the length of each roller 3, thereby improving the contact condition between the rollers 3 and the raceway in the length direction, reducing the contact stress between the rollers 3 and the raceway, and extending the service life of the torsion bar suspension bearings of the crawler chassis road wheels; adjacent pairs of rollers 3 are isolated by roller retainers.

[0028] Furthermore, the inner ring 1 is provided with an O-ring 6 on one side of the raceway rib 1.2, and the outer end thereof is provided with a raceway mounting neck 1.3, and the raceway mounting neck 1.3 is interference fit with the inner hole of the raceway B7; a gap is provided between the outer cylindrical surface of the raceway rib 1.2 on the side of the inner ring 1 on which the O-ring 6 is provided, so that the raceway A5 is in a floating state.

[0029] Furthermore, the O-ring 6 is made of hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber, which has excellent properties such as high strength, high tear resistance, high wear resistance, and high heat resistance, and can fully meet the use requirements of the crawler chassis road wheel torsion bar suspension bearing; the double-lip skeleton seal ring 4 is made of fluororubber.
