[0002] In existing technology, bearings are an important component in modern mechanical equipment. Their main function is to support rotating mechanical parts, reduce the coefficient of friction during movement, and ensure rotational accuracy. They typically consist of four parts: an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage. The balls of ball bearings are produced through cold forming or hot forming, followed by removal of mold overflow, heat treatment, and fine grinding to final shape. The formed balls then need to be size-screened to ensure that the balls assembled in a bearing are within the standard tolerance range.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] A ball screening device for bearing production, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes: a support base 1 and a screening cylinder 4. A connecting ring seat 3 is welded to the bottom of the outer wall of the screening cylinder 4. The connecting ring seat 3 is fixedly connected to the support base 1 by bolts. Multiple support legs 2 are welded at equal intervals on the lower surface of the support base 1.

[0024] The inner cavity of the screening cylinder 4 is fixedly installed with an upper screening plate 16 and a lower screening plate 17 of the same structure. The upper screening plate 16 is used to screen steel balls larger than the standard size, and the lower screening plate 17 is used to screen steel balls that meet the standard size. Steel balls smaller than the standard size pass through the lower screening plate 17 and are collected.

[0025] The main body of the upper screening plate 16 is a supporting base plate 161. A rubber top plate 162 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting base plate 161. The rubber top plate 162 is made of hard rubber and can absorb the potential energy generated by the falling steel balls, but will not be deformed by the steel balls.

[0026] The lower surface of the supporting base plate 161 is provided with two sets of sieve holes 163. Each set of sieve holes 163 is equidistant from the axis of the supporting base plate 161. The diameter of the sieve holes 163 of the lower sieve plate 17 is smaller than the diameter of the sieve holes 163 of the upper sieve plate 16. For example, if the standard size of a steel ball is 50±0.04 mm, then the diameter of the sieve holes 163 of the upper sieve plate 16 is 50.04 mm, and the diameter of the sieve holes 163 of the lower sieve plate 17 is 49.96 mm.

[0027] The sieve hole 163 penetrates the supporting bottom plate 161 and the rubber top plate 162, and the top and bottom of the inner wall of the sieve hole 163 are provided with guide chamfers 164. The upper guide chamfer 164 facilitates the entry of steel balls into the sieve hole 163.

[0028] Two guide ring grooves 165 are provided on the upper surface of the rubber top plate 162. The two guide ring grooves 165 are connected to the two sets of sieve holes 163 respectively. The bottom wall of the guide ring groove 165 is set as an arc surface to facilitate the steel ball to roll in the direction of the sieve hole 163.

[0029] The upper surface of the supporting chassis 1 is integrally formed with a positioning block that is inclined on the upper surface. A protective rubber pad 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning block. The positioning block is inserted into the screening cylinder 4 and collects steel balls smaller than the standard size through the protective rubber pad 23.

[0030] The outer wall of one side of the screening cylinder 4 is fixedly connected from bottom to top with a discharge pipe 5 for discharging steel balls smaller than the standard size, a discharge pipe 6 for discharging steel balls that meet the standard size, and a discharge pipe 7 for discharging steel balls larger than the standard size.

[0031] The inner wall of the bottom end of discharge pipe 1 5, near the screening cylinder 4, is at the same height as the lower end of the upper surface of the protective rubber pad 23; the inner wall of the bottom end of discharge pipe 2 6, near the screening cylinder 4, is at the same height as the upper surface of the lower sieve plate 17; the inner wall of the bottom end of discharge pipe 3 7, near the screening cylinder 4, is at the same height as the upper surface of the upper sieve plate 16.

[0032] Both discharge pipe 2 6 and discharge pipe 3 7 have a sealing plate 8 fixedly inserted at the end of the front of the screening cylinder 4 to prevent steel balls from entering discharge pipe 2 6 and discharge pipe 3 7 during screening. The top of the other side of the screening cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a ball feed inlet 9, through which steel balls enter the interior of the screening cylinder 4.

[0033] The lower surface of the supporting chassis 1 is provided with an installation groove 18, the top wall of the installation groove 18 is provided with a diversion groove 21, and the top wall of the diversion groove 21 is provided with multiple air outlets 22 at equal intervals, the air outlets 22 penetrating the protective rubber pad 23.

[0034] A dust-proof mesh plate 20 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the supporting chassis 1. A high-flow fan 19 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 18. The high-flow fan 19 draws air from the outside and introduces the air into the screening cylinder 4 through the air outlet 22, so that the air flows upward through the screening hole 163, reducing the possibility of steel balls clogging the screening hole 163.

[0035] A motor base 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the screening cylinder 4, a drive motor 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the motor base 10, a bevel gear 12 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 11, and a bevel gear 13 is meshed with one side of the bevel gear 12.

[0036] A transmission shaft 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the bevel gear 13. The transmission shaft 14 passes through the top cylinder of the screening cylinder 4 and extends downward. The top of its extension end is rotatably sleeved with a limiting sleeve 15, which is welded to the inner wall of the top end of the screening cylinder 4.

[0037] Two mounting connectors 24 are fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the transmission shaft 14. The two mounting connectors 24 are respectively set on the upper surface of the upper sieve plate 16 and the lower sieve plate 17. A fixed mounting slot is opened on one side of the mounting connector 24. A connecting block 25 is fixedly installed inside the fixed mounting slot. A rubber stirring rod 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 25. The rubber stirring rod 26 is made of hard rubber and stirs the steel balls to assist in the steel ball screening work.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Assemble the device as shown in the figure;

[0040] When using this device, first start the drive motor 11. The drive motor 11 drives the transmission shaft 14 to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear 12 and bevel gear 13. The transmission shaft 14 drives the two rubber stirring rods 26 to rotate at low speed through the mounting connector 24. Then, steel balls are poured into the screening cylinder 4 through the ball feed inlet 9 and fall onto the upper screening plate 16. Under the action of the rubber stirring rods 26, steel balls smaller than the upper limit of the standard size pass through the screening hole 163 and fall onto the lower screening plate 17, while steel balls smaller than the lower limit of the standard size pass through the screening hole 163 and fall onto the protective rubber pad 23, and are discharged through the discharge pipe 1 5. After screening this batch of steel balls, pull out the sealing plate 8. The steel balls on the upper screening plate 16 are discharged through the discharge pipe 3 7, and the steel balls on the lower screening plate 17 are discharged through the discharge pipe 2 6. Finally, the next batch of steel balls is screened.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
