Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of bearings, in particular to a kind of gearbox gear shaft bearing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fixed gear ratio gearbox is widely used in new energy electric vehicles, which converts the high-speed low-torque generated by the motor into the low-speed high-torque required by the wheels through a single gear ratio. This design simplifies the transmission system, reduces internal friction and energy loss, and improves overall efficiency. Due to the wide range of torque output of electric vehicle motors, fixed gear ratio gearbox can meet the needs from starting acceleration to high-speed cruising without complex gear shifting mechanism, making driving more smooth, while reducing vehicle maintenance costs and complexity.

[0003] However, with the development of new energy electric vehicles, gearbox bearings are facing more and more challenges. With the continuous improvement of motor input torque, the requirement of bearing anti-creep is improved. Among them, the problem of bearing anti-creep is the focus of attention of each host manufacturer. The existing solution to bearing creep is mainly to increase the interference between the bearing inner ring and the shaft. This scheme has certain effect, but blindly increasing the interference is not conducive to installation, and will generate increased ring stress, which may cause the fracture of the ring. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a gearbox gear shaft bearing for preventing the inner ring of the bearing from creeping.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows: a gearbox gear shaft bearing, comprising an outer ring, a gear shaft, rolling elements and a retainer for sleeving the rolling elements, the gear shaft is integrally provided with a raceway portion protruding radially, the outer ring and the raceway portion are respectively provided with raceways matched for the rolling elements to run therein, the two sides of the raceway portion along the axial direction are respectively provided with abutting portions and gears, and the gears abut on the end face of one side of the raceway portion along the axial direction.

[0006] The utility model has the advantages that: first, the cancellation of the inner ring can significantly reduce the friction and wear of the bearing during operation, effectively avoiding the creeping phenomenon that may occur during high-speed operation of the inner ring, thereby prolonging the service life of the bearing and improving the operation efficiency. Second, by setting the abutting portions, axial positioning is formed with the remaining parts of the gearbox, which enhances the stability of the bearing assembly, reduces the axial displacement, and ensures that the gear shaft can maintain accurate position under various working conditions. In addition, the direct abutting design of the gear and the raceway portion not only enhances the operation consistency between the two, but also helps to reduce the gap between the gear and the bearing, improves the transmission efficiency and the response speed of the gear. Overall, this design shows significant advantages in improving bearing performance, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing reliability.

[0007] Further, the raceway portion is provided with a fixing member on the end face thereof abutting against the gear in the direction of the gear, and the gear is provided with a corresponding fixing hole corresponding to the fixing member, and the fixing member and the fixing hole are matched to enhance the connection between the gear and the raceway portion.

[0008] The further optimization of the gearbox gear shaft bearing design lies in the connection between the raceway portion and the gear. By providing a fixing member on the end face of the raceway portion in the direction of the gear, and a fixing hole on the corresponding position of the gear, the fixing member and the fixing hole can be precisely matched, thereby significantly enhancing the connection strength and stability between the gear and the raceway portion. This reinforced connection not only improves the overall rigidity of the bearing assembly, reduces the risk of deformation under high load or impact conditions, but also helps to maintain the precise alignment between the gear and the raceway portion, ensuring smoothness and accuracy during transmission. In addition, this fixing method simplifies the assembly process, reduces the time and cost required for assembly, and improves the reliability and durability of the assembly, so that the bearing can maintain high performance in long-term operation, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement due to loose or failed connections.

[0009] Further, one end of the fixing member away from the end face of the raceway portion abutting against the gear is provided with a radially distributed elastic fixing member, an elastic member and a placement slot, the elastic member is located in the placement slot and its two ends are respectively fixed on the bottom of the placement slot and one end of the elastic fixing member; the gear is provided with an auxiliary positioning hole corresponding to the elastic fixing member, the auxiliary positioning hole is inclinedly arranged towards the bottom of the fixing hole, and the inclination arrangement makes the elastic fixing member gradually extend when moving along the auxiliary positioning hole towards the bottom of the fixing hole.

[0010] This gearbox gear shaft bearing design realizes a self-adaptive elastic connection mechanism by providing an elastic fixing member and an elastic member on the fixing member, and an inclined auxiliary positioning hole on the gear. This design not only improves the connection stability between the gear and the raceway portion, reduces the risk of damage caused by vibration and impact, but also simplifies the assembly process, so that the elastic fixing member can automatically adjust its position along the inclined auxiliary positioning hole, ensuring precise alignment. In addition, the pre-tightening force of the elastic member helps to reduce the vibration and noise of the gear during operation, improve the load capacity and service life of the bearing, and the inclined auxiliary positioning hole design enables the elastic fixing member to gradually extend during assembly, further enhancing the connection strength between the gear and the raceway portion, ensuring high performance and reliability of the bearing in long-term operation.

[0011] Further, the fixing member and the fixing hole are respectively circumferentially arranged on the end face of the raceway portion and the gear abutting against each other, and the elastic fixing member, the elastic member, the placement slot and the auxiliary positioning hole are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing member and the fixing hole.

[0012] The design of the gearbox gear shaft bearing achieves balanced stress and symmetrical stability of the bearing assembly by uniformly arranging multiple fixing members and fixing holes on the end surface where the raceway part and the gear abut, and symmetrically configuring elastic fixing members, elastic members, placement grooves, and auxiliary positioning holes on both sides of the fixing members and fixing holes. This symmetrical layout not only enhances the overall rigidity and load-carrying capacity of the bearing, but also helps to reduce deformation and wear caused by uneven stress, thereby prolonging the service life of the bearing. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged elastic fixing members and auxiliary positioning holes provide better centering and self-positioning capability during assembly, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. In addition, this design helps to maintain precise fit between the gear and the raceway part under high load or impact conditions, ensuring smooth and reliable transmission, further enhancing the performance and durability of the bearing.
