Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bearings, and in particular relates to a four-point contact ball bearing with external teeth. Background Art
[0002] Conventional four-point contact ball bearings with external teeth are known to consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, steel balls, a plug, and a tapered pin. During bearing assembly, the steel balls are inserted through a plug hole located on the inner diameter of the inner ring, and the plug is secured to the inner ring with a tapered pin. This structural design allows for a larger number of steel balls to be loaded. Furthermore, the bearing is designed with a 45° contact angle, allowing it to simultaneously withstand large radial loads, axial loads, and overturning moments, while maintaining smooth operation and flexible rotation. Conventional four-point contact ball bearings with external teeth have certain installation space and connection requirements. However, if these requirements are limited, this bearing structure may not be suitable for applications requiring specialized installation space and connection methods.
[0003] For certain models of four-point contact ball bearings with external teeth, due to the limitations of the inner ring inner diameter and the outer ring threaded hole installation dimensions, conventional designs result in a thin inner ring radial wall thickness. This results in insufficient rigidity if the selected taper pin is too small. Furthermore, the taper pin hole wall is too thin at the distance from the bearing inner diameter groove, making it easy for the taper pin to drill through the groove when fitted. To address these issues, a new structure for a four-point contact ball bearing with external teeth is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problem that conventional four-point contact ball bearings with external teeth in the background art cannot meet the requirements of special installation space and connection mode usage occasions, the utility model provides a four-point contact ball bearing with external teeth.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The plug is crescent-shaped, with two plug taper pin holes on its end face, and two plug semicircular threaded holes of a certain depth on its crescent-shaped plug end face; a semicircular groove is provided on the inner diameter of the plug.
[0008] The bottom of the plug hole is also provided with two outer gear ring tapered pin holes; the plug hole wall of the outer gear ring crescent-shaped plug hole is provided with two outer gear ring semicircular threaded holes of a certain depth.
[0009] The gap between the arc-shaped ball loading gap and the outer diameter of the inner ring step is larger than the diameter of the steel ball to ensure that the steel ball can be loaded from the gap; the depth of the arc-shaped ball loading gap at the peach-shaped groove of the outer gear ring does not exceed the contact point of the peach-shaped groove of the outer gear ring.
[0010] The gap between the outer diameter of the inner ring step and the crescent-shaped plug hole of the outer gear ring and the arc-shaped ball-loading gap 17 is larger than the diameter of the steel ball; the curvature of the outer cylindrical surface of the plug is consistent with the curvature of the crescent-shaped plug hole of the outer gear ring of the bearing.
[0011] The inner diameter of the plug is consistent with the curvature of the inner diameter of the outer gear ring of the bearing; the curvature of the semicircular groove is consistent with the curvature of the peach-shaped groove of the outer gear ring.
[0012] The depth of the semicircular threaded hole on the plug is consistent with the depth of the semicircular threaded hole on the outer gear ring.
[0013] The conical pin and the hexagon socket screw are used to fix the plug on the outer gear ring of the bearing and to combine and process the inner diameter of the outer gear ring and the peach-shaped groove of the inner ring.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a reasonable structure, and compared with the traditional structure of loading the ball in the inner diameter direction of the plug hole, it realizes the possibility of loading the steel ball from the end face, can withstand larger radial loads, axial loads and overturning moments at the same time, and does not cause a decrease in the bearing load capacity due to the change in structure. It also solves the problem that conventional four-point contact ball bearings with external teeth cannot meet the requirements of special installation space and connection mode usage occasions.

[0022] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The plug 4 is crescent-shaped, with two plug taper pin holes 22 provided on the end face of the plug 4, and two plug semicircular threaded holes 23 of a certain depth provided on the crescent-shaped plug end face 21; a semicircular groove 25 is provided on the plug inner diameter 24 of the plug 4; two outer gear ring taper pin holes 18 are also provided on the bottom 16 of the plug hole; two outer gear ring semicircular threaded holes 20 of a certain depth are provided on the plug hole wall 19 of the outer gear ring crescent-shaped plug hole 15; A structure of two tapered pin holes and two connecting screws is adopted at the connection between the outer gear ring 3 of the bearing and the crescent-shaped plug hole 15 of the outer gear ring, and the tapered pin hole and the connecting threaded hole are combined and processed after the plug 4 is embedded in the crescent-shaped plug hole 15 of the outer gear ring.

The curvature of the arc-shaped ball loading port is greater than the radius of the steel ball. At the same time, the gap between the arc-shaped ball loading port and the inner and outer diameters of the inner ring is greater than the diameter of the steel ball. During assembly, the steel ball is loaded through the plug and the arc-shaped ball loading port, which realizes the possibility of loading the steel ball from the end face, and solves the problem that the conventional four-point contact ball bearing with external teeth cannot meet the requirements of special installation space and connection mode use occasions; and the bearing is designed with a 45° contact angle, which can withstand large radial loads, axial loads and overturning moments at the same time, and the bearing load-bearing capacity is not reduced due to structural changes.
