Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of contact angle measuring devices, in particular to a contact angle measuring device for angular contact bearings. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-precision angular contact bearings are mostly used in industrial machine tools, machining centers, servo guides, etc., and have an important influencing factor on the overall operation and machining accuracy of the equipment. The contact angle of the angular contact bearing indicates the direction of force transmission between the steel balls and the cage inside the bearing, and reflects the bearing's ability to bear radial loads and axial loads. The contact angle affects the bearing's load-bearing capacity, bearing stiffness, and shafting rigidity. Testing the bearing contact angle can understand the actual contact angle of the bearing, which is very important for the production and use of paired bearings.

[0003] The contact angle measuring instruments for angular contact ball bearings currently sold on the market are relatively expensive and have complex structures. They are not suitable for situations where there are many bearing models and a large range of measurements are required during factory production, and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: three groups of bearing positioning assemblies are provided, and the angle between adjacent bearing positioning assemblies is 120 degrees.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: the adjustment groove is engraved with an adjustment graduation scale along the diameter direction of the measuring base for adjusting the position of the adjustment slider in the adjustment groove to ensure that the angular contact bearing can be positioned at the center position of the measuring base.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a rotating block is coaxially fixedly connected to the top of the loading ball and drives the loading ball and the inner ring of the angular contact bearing to rotate synchronously.

[0011] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The measuring base is equipped with multiple bearing positioning assemblies for positioning the angular contact bearing at the center of the measuring base, and loading balls are placed on the inner ring of the angular contact bearing to fit the inner ring. Pressure is applied to the inner ring of the bearing by the loading balls to achieve synchronous movement with the inner ring of the bearing. Before measurement, the inner ring, outer ring, and cage of the angular contact bearing are marked on the same side of the diameter line, corresponding to the 0-degree position of the 360-degree indexing scale. The loading balls are then rotated to cause the inner ring of the bearing to rotate precisely and synchronously for 10 revolutions. After the rotation is completed, the angle between the inner ring and the cage is obtained by comparing the reading needle with the 360-degree indexing scale. The contact angle of the angular contact bearing is then calculated using a formula. This method has a simple structure and reduces measurement costs.

[0013] 2. By arranging at least three sets of bearing positioning assemblies along the circumferential direction on the measuring base, the bearing positioning assembly opens an adjustment groove on the measuring base and slides the adjustment slider in the adjustment groove, and at the same time, a locking positioning block for abutting the outer wall of the angular contact bearing is fixedly provided on the adjustment slider.

[0021]

[0022] Wherein, αK=contact angle of angular contact bearing;

[0023] Dw=diameter of the rolling ball of the angular contact ball bearing;

[0024] Dd=diameter of the ball joint of the angular contact ball bearing;

[0025] Δy=deviation degree of 4 times retainer rotation after 10 times rotation of the inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing;

[0026] Note: Δy=(1800×(Dd-Dw×cosαK) / Dd)-1440.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the bearing positioning assembly 3 includes an adjustment slot 31 defined along the diameter of the measuring base 1 and an adjustment slider 32 slidably connected to the adjustment slot 31. A locking block 33 is rotatably connected to the adjustment slider 32, which is used to press and secure the adjustment slider 32 within the adjustment slot 31 and abut against the outer wall of the angular contact bearing. An adjustment scale 34 is engraved along the diameter of the measuring base 1 to adjust the position of the adjustment slider 32 within the adjustment slot 31, ensuring that the angular contact bearing is positioned at the center of the measuring base 1. Multiple sets of locking blocks 33 abut the outer wall of the bearing, thereby positioning the angular contact bearing at the center of the measuring base 1. The position of the adjustment slider 32 within the adjustment slot 31 can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate the measurement needs of angular contact bearings of different sizes, thereby increasing the range of adaptability.

A scale line 54 corresponding to the 360-degree graduation scale 2 is provided at the downward projection position of the reading needle 6 on the arc slider 52. When the test is completed, it is necessary to measure the inner circle and When the angle Δy between the retainers is Δy, the arc-shaped slider 52 is driven to slide in the arc-shaped slot 51 so that the needle tip of the reading needle 6 corresponds to the marked position of the retainer of the angular contact bearing and the scale line 54 is compared with the 360-degree graduation scale 2 to read the angle between the marked position of the retainer of the angular contact bearing at this time and the 0-degree position. Since the inner ring of the angular contact bearing has rotated exactly 10 revolutions, the marked position of the inner ring is the 0-degree position, and the angle between the inner ring and the retainer is calculated.
