DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 The specific implementation methods of the present utility model are further described.

[0023] A long-life combined bearing for screw drilling tools includes a top row part, a bottom row part, at least two groups of middle row parts and an oil storage cavity 8 formed therebetween; the top row part includes a top row inner ring 2, a top row first half outer ring 3, a top row second half outer ring 4 and the steel balls 10 therebetween; the bottom row part includes a bottom row inner ring 13, a bottom row first half outer ring 12, a bottom row second half outer ring 14 and the steel balls 10 therebetween; the middle row part includes an inner spacer 5, an outer spacer 6, a shaft ring 9, a seat ring 7 and the steel balls 10 therebetween.

[0024] An outer sealing ring 1 is provided between the top row inner ring 2 and the top row first half outer ring 3 and between the bottom row inner ring 13 and the bottom row second half outer ring 14.

[0025] Inner sealing rings 11 are provided between the top row inner ring 2 and the top row second half outer ring 4 and between the bottom row inner ring 13 and the bottom row first half outer ring 12 .

[0026] The cross-section of the inner spacer ring 5 is a regular L-shaped structure, and the material is spring steel; the horizontal side ring end face of the inner spacer ring 5 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the lower shaft ring 9 and the bottom row inner ring 13; the vertical side ring end face of the inner spacer ring 5 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the upper top row inner ring 2 and the shaft ring 9.

[0027] The cross-section of the outer spacer ring 6 is an inverted L-shaped structure, and the material is spring steel; the horizontal side ring end face of the outer spacer ring 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the second half outer ring 4 and the seat ring 7 in the upper top row; the vertical side ring end face of the outer spacer ring 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the seat ring 7 and the first half outer ring 12 in the bottom row.

[0028] The L-shaped inner and outer spacers 5 and 6 have different cross-sectional dimensions. This allows the axial force acting on the bearing to be distributed to each row of ball bearings using elasticity variables. The force applied to each row is determined by the dimensions and elasticity variables of the inner and outer spacers. Two configurations are possible: one in which the outer spacer 6 has a thinnest cross-sectional area at the top and gradually increases in thickness, reaching the thickest section in the last row. The cross-sectional thickness of the inner spacer 5 is greater than the thickest section of the outer spacer 6. The other in which the inner spacer 5 has a thinnest cross-sectional area at the top and gradually increases in thickness, reaching the thickest section in the last row. The outer spacer 6 is thicker than the thickest section of the inner spacer 5.

[0029] The cross-section of the outer spacer 6 is a C-shaped structure, and the material is spring steel; the upper end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the second half outer ring 4 and the seat ring 7 in the upper top row; the lower end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the seat ring 7 and the first half outer ring 12 in the bottom row.

[0030] The cross-section of the outer spacer 6 is a Z-shaped structure, and the material is spring steel; the upper end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the second half outer ring 4 and the seat ring 7 in the upper top row; the lower end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the seat ring 7 and the first half outer ring 12 in the bottom row.

[0031] The cross-section of the outer spacer 6 is an I-type structure, and the material is spring steel; the upper end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the second half outer ring 4 and the seat ring 7 in the upper top row; the lower end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the seat ring 7 and the first half outer ring 12 in the bottom row.

[0032] The cross-section of the outer spacer 6 is a linear structure and is made of spring steel; the upper end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the second half outer ring 4 and the seat ring 7 in the upper top row; the lower end ring end face of the outer spacer 6 is placed in the concave ring groove or end face of the seat ring 7 and the first half outer ring 12 in the bottom row.

[0033] The inner spacer 5 and the outer spacer 6 are made of spring steel. After the bearing is assembled and tightened, if there is an impact force during operation, the destructive effect of the impact on the bearing can be alleviated through elastic deformation.

[0034] The diameter of the steel balls 10 in each row is the same, but the diameter of the steel balls 10 between rows can be the same or different, which is determined by the position and magnitude of the force. When the forces at the two ends of the bearing are large, large steel balls 10 can be used, and when the forces in the middle are small, small steel balls 10 can be used.

[0035] Each layer has a gap a, the size of which determines the distribution of the axial force. This can be distributed evenly or unevenly within each layer, depending on the size of the steel balls 10. The greater the number of rows, the greater the total axial force the bearing can bear. By distributing the total axial force, the bearing's service life is multiplied.

[0036] This bearing consists of a four-point contact ball bearing, a thrust ball bearing, and a spacer ring. The four-point contact ball bearings at each end of the bearing are radial and cannot be changed. The remaining center section is a multi-row thrust ball bearing with two or more rows. The current diagram shows a three-row thrust ball bearing, but two-, four-, five-, or other multi-row thrust ball bearings are also possible. The number of rows in the thrust ball bearing is determined by the operating load.

[0037] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
