AI Technical Summary
Conventional cylindrical roller bearings have a large cage beam width, which reduces the number of rolling elements and lowers the load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, full complement cylindrical roller bearings are not suitable for high-speed conditions and are prone to seizing.
The cylindrical roller bearing cage adopts a disc structure, which radially holds the rollers through a pocket design and relies on the outer ring of the bearing for axial restraint. The cage beam is narrow, which increases the number of rollers or the diameter of the rolling elements. Combined with the outer ring restraint and lubrication hole design, the bearing's load-bearing capacity and high-speed performance are improved.
This design achieves lightweight bearings and narrow beams, improving space utilization and load-bearing capacity while ensuring high-speed performance, making it suitable for use with high-performance gearboxes.

[0030] The pocket 1.2 is in a semi-open form;
[0031] Each of the pockets 1.2 is formed by two adjacent retainer beams 1.1 side walls and the outer surface of the roller 2 cooperates with the contact surface of the inner wall surface 1.2.1 of the pocket;
[0032] During assembly, the roller 2 is loaded into the pocket 1.2 from one side of the retainer, so that the entire inner wall surface 1.2.1 of the pocket contacts the outer diameter surface of the roller 2;
[0033] The retainer pockets the roller 2 in the radial direction of the roller 2 and is located in the middle of the entire axial length of the roller 2;
[0034] The center diameter of the circle where the pocket 1.2 is located matches the center diameter of the roller 2;
[0035] The beam width of the retainer depends on the size of the center diameter of the circle where the pocket 1.2 is located; under the condition of the same number of rollers 2, the larger the diameter of the roller 2, the larger the center diameter of the circle where the pocket 1.2 is located, and the smaller the beam width of the retainer; the present scheme can increase the number of rollers 2 or increase the diameter of the roller by reducing the beam width of the retainer, thereby improving the load capacity of the bearing.
[0036] Since the pocket 1.2 is in a semi-open form, the end of the retainer beam 1.1 extending to the center of the retainer is a free end 1.1.1 of the retainer beam;
[0037] The free ends 1.1.1 of each two adjacent retainer beams form a lock 1.3 of the pocket 1.2, which prevents the roller 2 from falling out of the pocket 1.2 and plays a role of locking the roller 2; the distance of the lock 1.3 is determined by reasonable calculation.
[0038] Specifically, the distance L2 of the lock 1.3 in the embodiment is generally smaller than the diameter of the rolling body by about 1mm, and the lock amount is not fixed and is designed differently according to the base body.
[0039] The retainer with the above structure is limited by the outer ring, and the retainer applied in the bearing further comprises two oppositely arranged half outer rings 3, the two half outer rings 3 are matched together to form a concave groove type outer ring unit, the outer edge of the retainer is clamped and installed in the concave groove of the outer ring unit, the two end surfaces of the retainer correspond to the side walls of the concave groove, and the outer diameter surface of the retainer corresponds to the groove bottom of the concave groove;

[0041] The radial gap 5 is larger than the axial gap 4, preventing the retainer from wearing during operation;
[0042] Specifically, the axial gap is about 0.2-0.4mm, and the radial gap is about 0.7-1.0mm, and the gap is slightly different according to the change of bearing size.
[0043] The distance between the two side walls of the groove is the groove width B of the outer ring, and the groove width B of the outer ring is slightly larger than the width S of the retainer, preventing the rotation from being affected.
[0044] The principle of setting the above lubricating oil hole is that the bearing is installed in the gear box, and the cavity of the gear box is full of lubricating oil, and the axial lubricating oil hole is beneficial to the circulation of the lubricating oil on the left and right sides of the retainer.
[0045] Through the above-mentioned locking port 1.3 design, the roller 2 is loaded into the pocket 1.2, so that the bearing outer ring, the roller 2 and the retainer form a component, preventing the roller 2 from falling from the inner diameter direction during installation.
[0046] The outer edge of the retainer is uniformly provided with a plurality of oil holes in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of oil holes include the same number of radial lubricating oil holes 6 and axial lubricating oil holes 7.
