Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a small-hole throttle with a cavity for a single-hole throttling air static pressure support bearing, and belongs to the field of ultra-precision processing and measurement. Background Art
[0002] Aerostatically supported bearings are crucial components in ultra-precision machining and measurement equipment. These bearings utilize an external air supply and offer zero friction, excellent vibration isolation, and high precision. Small-orifice restrictors are the most widely used due to their ease of manufacture and maintenance.
[0003] The throttle used in aerostatic bearings has a direct impact on the mechanical properties of the bearings. Generally, the throttle directly affects the static load-bearing capacity and self-excited vibration characteristics of the bearings. For cavityless bearings, the self-excited vibration performance is better, but the bearing load-bearing capacity is low. For the use of air cavities, the load-bearing capacity is greatly improved, but it is easy to cause problems such as micro-vibration and air hammer vibration, which weakens the operating stability of the bearing. At present, the static performance of aerostatic bearings has been studied in depth, and the research results are widely used in bearing design. However, how to improve the self-excited vibration performance while improving static performance such as static load through throttling parameter design is currently less involved in engineering design. By reasonably designing the throttle parameters and cavity shape, it is possible to ensure that the bearing has controllable self-excited vibration while improving the static performance of the aerostatic bearing, which is of great significance to improving the comprehensive mechanical performance of the bearing.
[0004] The self-excited vibration of aerostatic bearings includes micro-vibration and air hammer vibration. Studies have shown that when the air cavity volume is small, the air hammer vibration and micro-vibration of the bearing are weak, but the bearing capacity is also weakened. Therefore, compared with the cylindrical air cavity, although the use of a simple conical air cavity can help improve the self-excited vibration characteristics of the bearing, the volume of the conical cavity is smaller than that of the cylindrical air cavity, and the bearing capacity is also weaker than the latter. In the design of throttling parameters, if the air cavity shape and volume can be reasonably selected, the ability of the bearing to operate stably can be improved while ensuring the bearing capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The utility model provides a small hole throttle with a cavity for a single-hole throttling air static pressure support bearing. By designing a conical air cavity and a cylindrical air cavity that are arranged in sequence between the small hole and the air film, this configuration has the characteristics of a small hole throttling conical air cavity and a small hole throttling cylindrical air cavity, and can provide sufficient bearing capacity under the premise of weakening self-excited vibration.
[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:
[0007] A cavity-type small hole throttle for a single-hole throttling air static pressure support bearing comprises a throttling hole, a conical air cavity, and a cylindrical air cavity. One end of the throttling hole is communicated with an air supply channel, the other end of the throttling hole is communicated with the thin end of the conical air cavity, and the thick end of the conical air cavity is communicated with one end of the cylindrical air cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, the cone angle of the conical air cavity at the outlet ranges from 60° to 80°.
[0009] Furthermore, the ratio of the air volume of the conical air cavity to the air volume of the cylindrical air cavity is 1.5-2.
[0010] Furthermore, the cavity volume is less than 5% of the total operating air volume composed of the air cavity and the air film; wherein the cavity volume is the total volume of the cylindrical air cavity and the conical air cavity, and the air cavity is a cylindrical air cavity + a conical air cavity.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention arranges a conical air cavity at the outlet of the throttling orifice, which can weaken the flow turning caused by the sudden change of the flow channel, weaken the generation of the supersonic region at the inlet, and further reduce the risk of micro-vibration caused by the vortex flow. The cavity volume is less than 5% of the total operating air volume, which can effectively weaken the vibration of the air hammer; a cylindrical air cavity is arranged above the conical air cavity, which can effectively increase the bearing capacity. At the same time, compared with the cavityless orifice throttle, the addition of the air cavity improves the bearing capacity, that is, enhances the static performance; compared with the traditional cylindrical cavity orifice throttle, the air volume is reduced, and due to the large cone angle (60°-80°), it is more difficult for the vortex flow to form in the cavity, thereby weakening the influence of the self-excited vibration of the bearing, that is, improving the dynamic performance. This type of orifice throttle helps to improve the self-excited vibration stability while improving the static performance of the bearing, and takes into account the improvement of both the static and dynamic performance of the bearing.
