[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a simple and practical bearing housing, including a bearing housing body 1, a breather 2, an external threaded plug, an oil cup 3, a bearing cover 4, a skeleton oil seal 5, an oil drain port 6, and a rotating shaft 7.
[0026] Specifically, the bearing housing body 1 has a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole, and an oil drain port 6 on its side; the breather 2 is installed in the first mounting hole; the oil cup 3 is installed in the second mounting hole; the external plug is installed in the oil drain port 6; the bearing housing body 1 has a bearing cap 4 and an oil seal mounting groove at its end; the oil seal mounting groove is located on the side of the bearing cap 4 near the interior of the bearing housing body 1, and the skeleton oil seal 5 is installed in the oil seal mounting groove; one end of the rotating shaft 7 is located inside the bearing housing body 1, and the other end passes through the skeleton oil seal 5 and the bearing cap 4 in sequence and extends to the outside of the bearing housing body 1. This embodiment, through the above structure, enables the bearing housing to achieve lubricant filling, drainage, and pressure balance, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.
[0027] In this embodiment, the main function of the first mounting hole is to install the breather 2, which is used to balance the pressure inside and outside the bearing housing and prevent oil leakage caused by pressure difference. At the same time, the filter screen inside the breather 2 (not shown in the figure for simplicity) can block external dust and impurities from entering the housing and keep the housing environment clean. The second mounting hole is used to install the oil cup 3, which facilitates the addition of lubricating oil and the observation of the liquid level. Its position is set at an appropriate height to ensure sufficient oil level without overflowing. The oil drain port 6 is located at the bottom of the housing for easy discharge of waste oil and cleaning of the housing.
[0028] In this embodiment, the function of the breather 2 is twofold: firstly, to allow gas to escape from the bearing housing when the temperature rises, preventing pressure increases; and secondly, to allow external air to enter when the temperature drops, preventing negative pressure formation. Simultaneously, the breather 2 has a filtering function, capable of blocking over 95% of dust particles. The external threaded plug seals the oil drain port 6, allowing for easy and quick disassembly when lubricating oil needs to be changed. The material and thread specifications of the external threaded plug provide excellent sealing performance. The skeleton oil seal 5 is installed in the oil seal mounting groove, preventing lubricating oil leakage along the rotating shaft 7 and preventing external dust from entering the bearing housing. The skeleton oil seal 5 employs an elastic lip design, capable of accommodating minute axial and radial displacements.
[0029] Preferably, the first mounting hole is a threaded hole, facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the breather 2 and the oil cup 3; the breather 2 is threadedly connected with the first mounting hole. Further, the second mounting hole is a threaded hole, facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the breather 2 and the oil cup 3; the oil cup 3 is threadedly connected with the second mounting hole. Those skilled in the art can know that the size of the threaded hole can be set according to actual needs. The breather 2 is internally provided with a filter screen, which can effectively block external dust from entering the bearing box.
[0030] In the embodiment, the oil drain port 6 is threadedly connected with the outer plug. Those skilled in the art can know that the specific size of the oil drain port 6 and the outer plug can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0031] In a specific example, the oil cup 3 is filled with lubricating oil. Further, the oil cup 3 includes a transparent oil cup 3 for observing the lubricating oil level. The oil cup 3 of the embodiment can be made of transparent material, for example, to facilitate the observation of the lubricating oil level. In a specific example, the oil cup 3 can be made of tempered glass or high-strength transparent engineering plastic, with a pressure resistance not less than 0.6 MPa, improving the durability and safety of the oil cup 3. The oil cup 3 can also be provided with a scale line to intuitively display the lubricating oil level.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the bearing gland 4 is detachably connected with the bearing box body 1 by bolts. Specifically, the bolts can be 8.8-grade M8, uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the bearing gland 4, and the bolt holes adopt a countersunk structure to avoid the protruding bolt head affecting the appearance and safety. The bolts are installed with a fixed torque to improve the stability of the connection.
[0033] Preferably, the bearing gland 4 is provided with a sealing gasket at the connection with the bearing box body 1. Specifically, the sealing gasket can be made of an asbestos gasket, for example, which has good oil resistance and temperature resistance, with a use temperature range of -100℃ to 1000℃, and can enhance the sealing effect.
[0034] In the embodiment, the inner ring of the skeleton oil seal 5 is sealingly fitted with the rotating shaft 7.
[0035] In a specific embodiment, the initial installation: first install the bearing into the bearing box body 1, and then pass the rotating shaft 7 through the bearing. Install the skeleton oil seal 5 into the oil seal mounting groove, and ensure that the oil seal lip is directed towards the bearing box interior. Install the bearing gland 4, and place a sealing gasket between the gland and the bearing box body 1. Tighten the bolts in a diagonal sequence using a torque wrench. Lubricating oil filling: fill lubricating oil through the oil cup 3, and the oil level should be controlled at the predetermined position of the oil cup 3 scale. After filling is completed, check whether there is leakage at each sealing position. During operation, the breather 2 adjusts the pressure inside and outside the box through the filter screen inside the breather, while preventing external dust from entering.
[0036] In which, the state of the lubricating oil is observed through the transparent oil cup 3: for example, a sudden decrease in oil level indicates that there may be a leak, black or turbid oil indicates that it needs to be replaced, bubbles in the oil indicate that the seal may fail, and metal particles in the oil indicate that the bearing may be worn.
[0037] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil can be replaced at a predetermined time, and the replacement steps are: after the equipment is shut down and cooled, the external plug is removed; the waste oil is discharged, and the box is flushed with cleaning oil; the external plug is installed back, new oil is injected, and a short-time operation is performed to check whether each position is normal.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the bearing box is in operation, the internal pressure is balanced through the breather 2, and the lubricating oil is filled from the oil cup 3 until it reaches the standard oil level. When it is necessary to replace the lubricating oil, the external plug can be opened for discharge. The bearing gland 4 and the skeleton oil seal 5 work together to prevent lubricating oil leakage. The transparent oil cup 3 facilitates observation of the lubricating oil level, and timely replenishment or replacement of the lubricating oil. During routine maintenance, the lubrication condition can be judged by observing the color and level of the lubricating oil in the oil cup 3, and abnormal conditions can be treated in a timely manner. The various components of this embodiment cooperate with each other, which can not only ensure the lubrication effect of the bearing, but also provide reliable sealing performance, and is convenient for daily maintenance and repair.
[0039] In summary, the bearing box has the following advantages:
[0040] By setting the bearing box body, breather, oil cup, oil discharge port and other structures, the functions of lubricating oil filling, discharge and pressure balance can be realized, and through the cooperation of the bearing gland and the skeleton oil seal, the sealing performance of the bearing box can be ensured, and the leakage of lubricating oil can be effectively prevented.
[0041] By setting the transparent oil cup, the lubricating oil level and the state of the lubricating oil in the bearing box can be observed, the sealing gasket and the skeleton oil seal can provide reliable sealing effect, and the bolt connection mode is convenient for disassembly and maintenance, which can improve the practicability and maintainability of the bearing box.
