Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, specifically to a radial joint bearing. Background Technology
[0002] In some bearing applications, axial movement of the bearing is not required. The conventional method is to use a clamping plate in the mounting structure to lock the two end faces of the inner ring, thereby limiting the bearing's axial movement during use. However, for some small bearings, due to their smaller end face dimensions, clamping plates and similar structures may not be able to stably clamp the inner ring end faces. This can lead to a risk of axial movement during use due to unstable locking between the clamping plate and the inner ring end faces. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a radial spherical bearing, which mainly solves the technical problem of axial movement risk in existing small-sized bearings during use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0005] A radial spherical plain bearing includes an inner ring and an outer ring that are adapted to each other, and two inner bushings. Each inner bushing includes a sleeve portion and a flange portion formed at one end of the sleeve portion. The sleeve portions of the two inner bushings are respectively interference-fitted into the inner bore of the inner ring from both ends. The stepped surfaces of the flange portions of the two inner bushings are respectively pressed against the end faces of the two ends of the inner ring, and pin holes are formed in the two sleeve portions for interference-fitting of pins.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer ring is a crack-free, one-piece outer ring structure manufactured through an extrusion molding process.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner diameter D1 of the inner ring end face is 4mm to 30mm, and the outer diameter D2 of the inner ring end face is 6mm to 34mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer diameter D3 of the flange is configured to be greater than D1 and less than D2.
[0009] Furthermore, when the pin to be assembled is interference-fitted into the pin holes of the two inner bushings, the flanges of the two inner bushings exert a pressure limiting effect on the two end faces of the inner ring to prevent axial movement of the inner ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner liner is made of steel.
[0011] Furthermore, an oil injection hole is provided on the outer ring, which radially penetrates the inner and outer walls.
[0012] Furthermore, a self-lubricating gasket that matches the outer spherical surface of the inner ring is provided on the inner spherical surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the self-lubricating gasket is a PTFE self-lubricating gasket.
[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0015] In the radial spherical plain bearing described in this utility model, by adding two inner bushings to the inner ring, during installation, the pin is interference-fitted with the pin holes in the sleeve portion of the two inner bushings, and the sleeve portion of the inner bushing is interference-fitted with the inner hole of the inner ring. Furthermore, a flange portion is provided at the outer end of the two sleeve portions, and the stepped surface of the flange portion is used to press and limit the two end faces of the inner ring. Even for small-sized bearing structures, it can effectively prevent axial movement of the bearing, greatly improving the stability of the bearing in use. Attached Figure Description
