Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model provides an oil-free bearing, belongs to the technical field of bearings, and particularly relates to a wear-resistant flanging oil-free bearing. Background Art
[0002] Oilless bearings are a special type of bearing that combine the features of metal bearings and oil-free bearings, capable of operating without or with minimal oil. The metal base of these bearings bears the load, while a specially formulated solid lubricant provides lubrication. They offer high load capacity, impact resistance, high temperature resistance, and strong self-lubrication. They are particularly suitable for heavy loads, low speeds, reciprocating or oscillating motions, and other applications where an oil film is difficult to form. They are also resistant to water jets and other acidic corrosion. They are typically made of a steel base, with a sintered spherical bronze powder interlayer and a rolled polytetrafluoroethylene and lead mixture on the surface. They feature low friction, wear and corrosion resistance, oil-free self-lubrication, and a long service life. Oilless bearings are widely used in metallurgical continuous casting machines, steel rolling equipment, mining machinery, ships, steam turbines, hydraulic turbines, injection molding machines, and equipment production lines.
[0003] Due to their inherent structure and characteristics, existing oil-free bearings exhibit a high coefficient of friction in practical applications. This not only increases component wear but can also lead to thermal deformation and increased frictional heat. This is particularly true in situations where clearance is small, increasing the coefficient of friction and thus affecting smooth movement. Furthermore, due to the lack of effective lubrication, oil-free bearings experience a relatively high wear rate over long periods of operation. This not only reduces bearing service life but can also exacerbate bearing damage due to the generation of wear particles. Utility Model Content

[0012] The utility model solves the technical problems of traditional bearings being easily worn and requiring frequent maintenance in harsh environments by designing a wear-resistant flanged oil-free bearing.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains; the terms used herein in the specification of this invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention; the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a wear-resistant flanged oil-free bearing includes a rotating part 1, characterized in that: a bearing structure 2 is provided on the outside of the rotating part 1, and the bearing structure 2 includes an outer ring 21 that is close to the rotating part 1, an inner ring 22 that is sleeved on the outside of the rotating part 1 on one side of the outer ring 21, and symmetrically distributed rolling elements 23 are provided on the side of the inner ring 22 away from the outer ring 21. A retaining frame 24 that is sleeved on the rotating part 1 is provided on the outside of the rolling element 23, and a certain gap is left between the outer shell 25 and the inner ring 22 and the outer ring 21. Uniformly distributed grooves 27 are provided on the inner ring 22 and the outer ring 21, and a polymer paste layer 28 is provided inside the groove 27 to play a lubricating role. The rolling element 23 is made of a high-hardness material, such as ceramic or cemented carbide; the retaining frame 24 is made of a lightweight and high-strength material, such as engineering plastic or aluminum alloy, to reduce the overall weight of the bearing and improve its performance.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bearing structure 2 includes an outer ring 21 and an inner ring 22. These two rings are in close contact with the rotating part 1 and have undergone special treatments, such as chrome plating or nitriding, to improve their wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Secondly, the inner ring 22 is provided with symmetrically distributed rolling elements 23 on the side away from the outer ring 21. These rolling elements are made of high-hardness materials, such as ceramics or cemented carbide, to improve their wear resistance and extend their service life. In addition, the retaining frame 24 is made of lightweight and high-strength materials, such as engineering plastics or aluminum alloys, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the bearing and improve its performance. Finally, the outer ring 21 and the inner ring 22 of the bearing may be provided with evenly distributed grooves 27, and a polymer paste layer 28 is provided inside the grooves 27, which not only reduces the contact friction surface but also the paste layer made of wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant polymer material can maintain stable lubrication performance in extreme working environments, further reducing wear.
[0028] Through these designs, the oil-free bearing of the utility model can operate without external lubrication while maintaining low friction and high wear resistance, and is suitable for a variety of harsh working environments.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one side of the bearing structure 2 is provided with a fixed frame 11, which is penetrated by the rotating member 1. Inside the fixed frame 11 is a roller sleeve 12, which is in close contact with the rotating member 1. This design ensures stable rotation of the rotating member 1 within the fixed frame 11. At the same time, the roller sleeve 12 reduces direct contact between the rotating member 1 and the fixed frame 11, reducing wear and improving rotation efficiency. The outer portion of the retaining frame 24 is provided with an outer housing 25, which fits over the inner ring 22, outer ring 21, and rolling elements 23. This design protects the internal structure of the bearing from external environmental influences. The presence of the outer housing 25 also helps maintain the integrity and stability of the bearing.
[0030] A limit member 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer ring 21 close to the opening of the outer shell 25 and is embedded in the outer shell 25. The function of the limit member 26 is to limit the axial movement of the outer ring 21, ensure that the rolling element 23 runs on the correct track, and prevent the bearing from axial displacement when it is under high load or high-speed rotation, thereby improving the stability and durability of the bearing.
[0031] The outer shell 25 is provided with reinforcing ribs 29 on its surface. The reinforcing ribs 29 are used to improve the structural strength and impact resistance of the outer shell 25 . This is particularly important when the bearing is subjected to high loads or impacts, and can prevent the outer shell 25 from being deformed or damaged.
[0032] The outer ring 21 and inner ring 22 undergo special surface treatments, including but not limited to chrome plating or nitriding, to improve their wear and corrosion resistance. These surface treatments form a hard protective layer on the ring surface that not only resists wear but also provides a certain degree of corrosion protection, thereby extending the service life of the bearing.
[0033] When in use, first, install the rotating part 1 into the bearing structure 2, ensure that the outer ring 21 and the inner ring 22 are close to the rotating part 1, and check whether the rolling elements 23 are symmetrically distributed on the side of the inner ring 22 away from the outer ring 21, and whether the retaining frame 24 is correctly sleeved on the rotating part 1; then, sleeve the outer shell 25 on the outside of the inner ring 22, the outer ring 21 and the rolling elements 23, and ensure that there is an appropriate gap between the outer shell 25 and the inner ring 22 and the outer ring 21 so that the polymer paste layer 28 can play a lubricating role in the groove 27; then, install the fixing frame 11 on one side of the bearing structure 2, and pass the fixing frame 11 through the rotating part 1, and insert the fixing frame 11 into the fixing frame 11. Install the roller sleeve 12 on the outside to reduce the direct contact between the rotating part 1 and the fixed frame 11, and improve the rotation efficiency; next, check whether the limiter 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer ring 21 close to the opening of the outer shell 25, and is embedded with the outer shell 25 to limit the axial movement of the outer ring 21 and ensure that the rolling element 23 runs on the correct track; finally, confirm the installation of the reinforcement ribs 29 on the surface of the outer shell 25 to improve the structural strength and impact resistance of the outer shell 25. After completing the installation of the bearing, carry out necessary tests to ensure that the bearing can operate stably without external lubrication, maintain low friction and high wear resistance, and is suitable for a variety of harsh working environments.
[0034] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with this technology may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the definition of the claims.
