[0009] The outer and inner rings are equipped with grooves and sliders, which provide a stable structural foundation for the installation of the seal ring, facilitate the fixing and adjustment of the seal ring position, and enhance the overall stability of the bearing structure.
[0010] The sealing ring is fixedly connected to the slider with bolts, ensuring the sealing ring's firmness, effectively preventing dust, impurities, and other contaminants from entering the bearing, protecting internal parts, and extending the bearing's service life.
[0011] The inner ring is equipped with a reservoir and an oil outlet, which can continuously provide lubricant to the bearing, reduce friction, and improve the bearing's operating efficiency and performance.
[0012] Further: A filter screen is installed on the oil filling hole; the filter screen is located on the side near the inside of the oil storage tank and is fixedly connected to the periphery inside the oil filling hole.
[0013] A filter screen is installed on the oil filling hole to filter out impurities that may be mixed in during the oil filling process, ensuring that the lubricating fluid entering the reservoir is clean.

These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which are only used to illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0038] like Figure 1 The low-friction rotary bearing shown includes: an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling balls, and a cage. The rolling balls are fixed between the inner and outer rings by the cage. A groove is provided on the inner side of the outer ring. A groove is provided on the outer side of the inner ring. A plurality of sliders are provided inside the grooves. Threaded holes are provided on the sides of the sliders. Sealing rings are provided on both sides of the rolling elements. Threaded holes are provided on the sealing rings and correspond to the threaded holes on the sliders. The sealing rings are fixedly connected to the sliders by bolts and threaded holes.
[0039] An inner ring is provided with a liquid storage tank; the liquid storage tank is annular and matches the internal space of the inner ring; an oil outlet is provided in the inner ring; the oil outlet passes through the inner ring and the liquid storage tank.
[0040] An oil filling hole is provided on the side of the storage tank; a countersunk hole is provided at the upper end of the oil filling hole; the sealing bolt seals the oil filling hole through the countersunk hole.
[0041] Further: A filter screen is installed on the oil filling hole; the filter screen is located on the side near the inside of the oil storage tank and is fixedly connected to the periphery inside the oil filling hole.
[0042] Further: The storage tank contains lubricating fluid.
[0043] Further note: The lubricant is a synthetic oil.
[0044] Further: The sealing ring is made of rubber.
[0045] Further: The ball bearing is made of stainless steel.
[0046] Furthermore, the surface of the ball bearing is textured for dynamically storing and releasing lubricant.
[0047] Further: The texture is spiral-shaped.
[0048] Further: A certain gap is maintained between the two sides of the rolling ball and the inner and outer rings.
[0049] Further: The sealing ring isolates the rolling ball from the external environment.
[0050] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0051] First, the balls are secured between the inner and outer rings by a cage. The cage ensures that the balls maintain proper spacing and position during operation, preventing them from colliding with each other or deviating from their track.
[0052] Next, the sealing rings are installed on both sides of the rolling balls. The sliders in the grooves on the outer and inner rings are connected to the threaded holes on the sealing rings via bolts, firmly fixing the sealing rings in the appropriate positions. The sealing rings are made of rubber, possessing good elasticity and sealing properties, and can tightly fit into the gaps between the rolling balls and the inner and outer rings, isolating the rolling balls from the external environment and preventing dust, impurities, and other contaminants from entering the bearing.
[0053] An annular reservoir containing synthetic oil lubricant is located inside the inner ring. The reservoir is connected to the bearing's working area via an oil outlet on the inner ring.
[0054] When the bearing starts operating, the inner and outer rings rotate relative to each other, causing the balls to roll under the constraint of the cage. The spiral texture on the surface of the balls plays a crucial role in this rolling process. As the balls rotate, the texture dynamically stores and releases lubricant. When the balls contact the inner and outer rings, the lubricant stored in the texture is released, providing lubrication to the contact points and reducing friction. Simultaneously, the timely and effective lubrication is further ensured by the continuous supply of lubricant from the reservoir to the bearing's working area through the oil outlet.
[0055] The rolling balls maintain a certain gap with the inner and outer rings on both sides, so that the rolling balls will not cause friction and jamming due to excessive tightness during operation, thus ensuring the flexibility and smoothness of the bearing.
[0056] When lubricant needs to be added to the bearing, open the sealing plug and inject synthetic oil lubricant through the oil filling hole on the side of the reservoir. The filter screen on the oil filling hole can filter out any impurities that may get in, ensuring that the lubricant entering the reservoir is clean. After filling, seal the oil filling hole with the sealing plug through the countersunk hole to prevent lubricant leakage.
