[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a split deep groove ball bearing cage, comprising:

[0033] The frame includes a first frame 110 and a second frame 120 that are interlocked. The first frame 110 and the second frame 120 each include pockets 130 equidistantly arranged along their circumferences. A connecting ring, namely a first connecting ring 111 and a second connecting ring 121, is located between two adjacent pockets 130.

[0034] The first connecting ring 111 defines a first receiving groove 112 and a first through hole, and the first through hole is located in the first receiving groove 112;

[0035] The second connecting ring 121 is provided with a second receiving groove 122 and a second through hole. The second through hole is located in the second receiving groove 122. The first receiving groove 112 corresponds to the second receiving groove 122, and the first through hole corresponds to the second through hole.

[0036] The fastener 200 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole, and is accommodated in the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove 122 .

[0037] When the current split-type deep groove ball bearing retainer is used to fix the two frames, the fasteners 200 used usually protrude from a part of the frame, causing the force structure of the frame to change and stress concentration points to appear. After the bearing rotates for a long time, the stress concentration points are prone to damage, fracture and other problems. To solve this problem, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 in this solution are respectively provided with a first receiving groove 112 and a second receiving groove 122 for accommodating the fastener 200, so as to prevent the fastener 200 from protruding from the frame after installation. By providing the first receiving groove 112 and the second receiving groove 122, the fastener 200 is located in the receiving groove, preventing the fastener 200 from protruding from the frame, ensuring that the overall structure of the retainer is symmetrical, the force is evenly applied to all parts of the retainer, and the durability of the retainer is improved.

[0038] To ensure a precise fit between the first and second frames 110, 120 and maintain the pocket shape, a positioning protrusion 310 is provided on one of the first and second frames 110, 120, and a positioning recess 320 is provided on the other. When the positioning protrusion 310 enters the recess 320, the first and second frames 110, 120 are securely engaged. It should be understood that multiple positioning protrusions 310 and recesses 320 may be provided. When multiple positioning protrusions 310 and recesses 320 are provided, the corresponding positioning protrusions 310 and recesses 320 must be aligned. Furthermore, when the positioning protrusion 310 enters the recess 320, it also provides a certain degree of pre-connection between the first and second frames 110, 120, preventing relative rotation between the first and second frames 110, 120 during subsequent connection steps and ensuring a secure connection. Specifically, the positioning groove 320 corresponds to the shape of the positioning protrusion 310, and can be selected from, for example, a semicircular protrusion and a semicircular groove, a conical protrusion and a conical groove, etc. The positioning groove 320 and the positioning protrusion 310 can be set on the connecting ring.

[0039] Furthermore, the pocket 130 is provided with an oil groove 400. During the operation of the bearing, lubricating oil is stored in the oil groove 400 of the pocket 130, timely replenishing the lubricating oil to the rollers, ensuring that the rollers always have sufficient lubricating oil during operation, thereby reducing the friction coefficient during operation. Furthermore, the provision of the oil groove 400 reduces the contact area between the rollers and the inner wall of the pocket, thereby reducing friction.

[0040] In one embodiment, the oil groove 400 is an annular groove 410 connected end to end. As the lubricating oil flows into the annular groove 410, it is temporarily stored therein. Furthermore, as the roller rolls, the lubricating oil in the oil groove 400 continuously adheres to the surface of the roller, forming an oil film between the roller and the frame, thereby reducing friction and heat generation.

[0041] Furthermore, a storage groove 420 is provided in the pocket portion 130 and is in communication with the annular groove 410. As the roller rotates, some lubricating oil is carried away from the oil groove 400. To prevent the amount of lubricating oil in the oil groove 400 from being too low, the storage groove 420 is in communication with the annular groove 410. The lubricating oil in the storage groove 420 supplements the lubricating oil in the annular groove 410. When the amount of lubricating oil in the annular groove 410 is high, the lubricating oil flows into the storage groove 420 for temporary storage. When the amount of lubricating oil in the annular groove 410 is low, the lubricating oil in the storage groove 420 flows into the annular groove 410 for replenishment.

[0042] Both annular groove 410 and storage groove 420 have edges or corners that come into contact with the roller. To reduce friction at these contact points, the edges of annular groove 410, as well as the edges of storage groove 420 and the corners where they meet, are rounded. This rounding reduces the amount of obstruction to the lubricating oil flowing through the oil groove or storage groove at the corners, while also reducing the contact area between the roller and the edges or corners, thereby reducing friction.

[0043] In another embodiment, the oil groove 400 is formed in a spiral structure within the pocket. This spiral oil groove 400 provides a larger oil storage space and a wider coverage area for the roller, providing sufficient lubricating oil to all parts of the roller during operation. Furthermore, the spiral oil groove 400 not only stores more lubricating oil but also circulates the lubricating oil through its spiral shape. However, spiral oil grooves are inevitably more difficult to manufacture than annular oil grooves.

[0044] The annular groove 410 is used in situations where stable lubrication is required, and the spiral oil groove 400 is used in situations where higher lubrication requirements are required. Therefore, oil grooves 400 of different structures can be selected according to different working requirements, and are not limited here.

[0045] Furthermore, the fasteners 200 connecting the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are preferably rivets. Compared with other types of fasteners 200, rivets do not require additional fastening components for connection, and the installation process is relatively simple. In addition, rivet connections are relatively easy to inspect and replace during maintenance of the retaining frame.

[0046] Specifically, the head of the rivet is located in the first receiving groove 112. For ease of explanation, the direction from the first frame 110 to the second frame 120 is defined as from top to bottom. The structure of the first receiving groove 112 gradually widens from top to bottom. During the tightening process of the rivet, the rivet head will gradually press downward and expand. The structure of the first receiving groove 112 corresponds to the changing trend of the rivet head. During the tightening process of the rivet, the head presses downward and expands, gradually filling the first receiving groove 112. The tail of the rivet is located in the second receiving groove 122, firmly connecting the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 together.

[0047] It is understandable that by changing the shape of the pocket portion 130 , the retainer can be used for bearings with different roller types. For example, the shape of the pocket portion 130 can be a spherical hole, a circular hole, a tapered hole, etc.

[0048] In addition, the present invention also provides a bearing including the retaining frame described above. Since the bearing adopts all the technical solutions of the retaining frame described above, it also has all the beneficial effects described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, within the inventive concept of the present invention, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
