Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of roller bearings, in particular to a heavy-loaded cylindrical roller combined roller bearing. Background Art
[0002] A stacker crane is a specialized crane used for transporting, stacking, and placing goods from shelves in warehouses. It utilizes I-beam floor guides to guide the crane trolley and prevent it from tipping over. With the development of computer-controlled technology and automated warehouses, the use of stackers has become increasingly widespread. In stackers, roller bearings primarily serve as the support between the crane base and the rails, guiding the crane's movement along the rails. During operation, the bearings are subject to radial forces caused by the equipment's tendency to sway left and right, as well as axial forces caused by its tendency to tip over. Consequently, recent developments in roller bearings for stacker cranes have typically employed a combination of cylindrical roller bearings and thrust roller bearings. These bearings require grinding the outer ring end face, which serves as the thrust bearing raceway. However, for heavy-duty lifting equipment with high loads, the roller bearings used often have larger diameters and thicker ring walls, requiring a larger outer ring end face for machining. This results in low machining efficiency and difficulty ensuring quality even on large surfaces.
[0003] Furthermore, because bearings are often exposed to the elements as guide wheels in stacking and lifting equipment, the harsh working environment places high demands on the lubrication of the bearings, requiring regular grease filling. Oil holes and grooves specifically designed for grease filling are machined into the transmission shafting of the lifting equipment. These, in conjunction with the oil holes on the bearing inner ring, form a complete channel for grease filling within the bearings. However, these grooves machined into the transmission shaft are often the weak link in the shafting, directly reducing its load-bearing capacity and lifespan. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following Figures 1 to 8The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the described embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a heavy-duty cylindrical roller assembly bearing. The roller bearing 100 comprises an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, rolling elements 3, a thrust washer 4, a thrust roller assembly 5, a retaining ring 6, and a sealing cover 7. An annular raceway 11 is defined circumferentially within the inner ring of the outer ring 1. The inner ring also has recessed grooves 12 on either side of the annular raceway 11. The recessed grooves 12 have a diameter greater than that of the annular raceway 11. The inner ring 2 and the annular raceway 11 are coaxially mounted within the outer ring 1. The width of the inner ring 2 is greater than that of the annular raceway 11, and an annular mounting groove is formed between the outer circumference of the inner ring 2 and the recessed grooves 12. The rolling elements 3 are mounted in the raceway between the annular raceway 11 and the inner ring 2 and can rotate freely along the annular raceway 11. The rolling elements 3 are double-row cylindrical rollers. The thrust washers 4, thrust roller assemblies 5, and sealing covers 7 each comprise two sets. The thrust washers 4 are fitted against the inner wall of the recessed groove 12, and the thrust roller assemblies 5 are fitted within the recessed groove 12 and outside the thrust washers 4. The retaining rings 6 are fitted onto the outside of the thrust roller assemblies 5. The sealing covers 7 are fitted between the bearing outer ring 1 and the retaining rings 6. This roller bearing has high structural strength and support capacity, as well as excellent sealing performance.
[0031] like Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the outer periphery of retaining ring 6 is recessed inward to form a mounting step 61, and the inner side of mounting step 61 forms a support slope 62. Sealing cover 7 includes a support ring body 71 adapted to the inner diameter of recessed groove 12. Side retaining rings 72 are disposed on the outer side of support ring body 71. The support ring body 71 and side retaining rings 72 form an "L"-shaped cross-section, and side retaining rings 72 are pressed against the outer side of support slope 62. The sealing cover is press-fitted into the recessed groove 12 of the bearing outer ring using an interference fit, ensuring a tight installation and preventing the bearing from loosening or falling off during prolonged use.
[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, a process groove 63 with a depth of no more than 0.5 mm is machined in the middle of the end surfaces of both sides of the retaining ring 6 at a location that does not contact the thrust roller 52 assembly and the bearing inner ring. The presence of the process groove 63 in the middle of the bearing retaining ring, where the location does not contact the bearing inner ring and the thrust roller 52, can reduce the grinding area of the end surfaces of the bearing retaining ring, reduce the machining difficulty of the retaining ring, and help improve the machining accuracy of the retaining ring end surfaces.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner diameter of the thrust washer 4 is smaller than the annular raceway 11 and larger than the bearing inner ring 2, which restricts the rolling element 3 between the two thrust washers 4 and effectively prevents the rolling element 3 from moving along the axial direction of the roller bearing.
[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the thrust roller assembly 5 includes a roller cage 51 correspondingly mounted in an annular mounting groove, and a plurality of thrust rollers 52 are correspondingly arranged in the circumferential direction of the roller cage 51. The thrust roller 52 assembly can improve the ability of the roller bearing to carry axial loads.
[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the annular raceway of the bearing outer ring 1 includes a closed annular oil reservoir groove 13 located axially in the center of the annular raceway 11. An annular oil guide groove 21 is centrally located on the inner sidewall of the bearing inner ring 2, and multiple oil holes 22 are circumferentially defined therein. The oil guide groove 21 corresponds to the oil reservoir groove. The central portion of the inner wall of the bearing inner ring facilitates grease filling within the bearing. Roller bearings employing this structure eliminate the need for an oil groove on the corresponding drive shaft, improving the strength and life of the drive shaft system.
[0036] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
