Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum roller support structures, in particular to an external bearing structure of a vacuum roller. Background Art
[0002] The vacuum roll is a crucial component of the paper machine's press structure. Existing vacuum rolls typically consist of an outer roll body and a vacuum box. The outer roll body is equipped with journals on either side, and the vacuum box is built into the outer roll body. The support shafts at both ends of the vacuum box are supported on the journals via bearing blocks. One end of the drive-side journal is connected to a drive mechanism, allowing the outer roll body to rotate while the vacuum box remains stationary relative to the outer roll body. Because the drive-side journal is connected to the drive mechanism, the drive-side bearing block experiences severe vibrations due to the driving force. This can lead to lubricant leakage from the bearing block, resulting in poor lubrication and a reduced service life.
[0003] The prior art discloses a patent with the publication number CN204152974U. This solution effectively prevents lubricating oil leakage from the bearing seat, ensuring lubrication and extending service life. It comprises an inner bearing cap, an outer bearing cap, and a bearing. The inner bearing cap is mounted on the shaft neck and has a mounting slot in which the bearing is mounted. The outer bearing cap has a flange for mounting the bearing. The outer and inner bearing caps are secured together by bolts. The patent also includes a sleeve that mates with the inner ring of the bearing. The support shaft of the vacuum box is inserted into the sleeve. The outer end of the sleeve has an internal toothed portion, and the outer side of the outer bearing cap has an external toothed portion. The internal and external toothed portions mesh to form a labyrinth structure. The oil inlet of the labyrinth structure is sealed and connected via a skeleton oil seal.
[0004] The existing devices including the above patents have gradually exposed the shortcomings of the existing technology as they are used, mainly in the following aspects:
[0005] The existing vacuum roller bearings are located inside and play a supporting role. The external motor drives the entire rigid surface to rotate. The bearings are prone to aging, wear, and difficulty in replacement due to excessive temperatures. The entire roller body needs to be disassembled for maintenance, which is inconvenient to operate.
[0006] In summary, the existing technology has obvious inconveniences and defects in actual use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0010] The outer wall of the connector is connected to a first external bearing, and the outer wall of the connector sleeve is connected to a second external bearing.
