DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The utility model will be further explained in connection with the drawings and embodiments.

[0031] As Figures 1-5 shown, a shaft bushing with a self-centering function, comprising: an inner bushing 1, an outer bushing 2 movably sleeved outside the inner bushing 1, a movable gap 3 arranged between the inner bushing 1 and the outer bushing 2, a positioning ring 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the outer bushing 2, an abutting member 5 arranged inside the outer bushing 2, a buffer 6 arranged in the movable gap 3, and a locking member 7 mounted on the top of the outer bushing 2, wherein

[0032] The abutting member 5 is adapted to contact and limit the displacement of the upper and lower ends of the inner bushing 1;

[0033] The locking member 7 is adapted to control the abutting member 5 to approach the inner sleeve 1;

[0034] The buffer member 6 is adapted to support the outer wall of the inner sleeve 1. In use, the buffer member 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner sleeve 1, and then the abutting member 5 and the inner sleeve 1 are placed in the outer sleeve 2, and the abutting member 5 is preliminarily positioned by the locking member 7. In this way, the inner sleeve 1 can move in the outer sleeve 2, and the inner sleeve 1 is prevented from being separated from the outer sleeve 2. Then, the inner sleeve 1 is clamped by a clamp on the stamping equipment and moved to the top of the mounting seat. Lubricating oil or grease is applied to the lower end of the outer sleeve 2, and then the inner sleeve 1 and the outer sleeve 2 are slowly moved to approach the mounting seat. When the fixed position of the mounting seat is not precise, and the center of the mounting seat is not on the same axis as the center of the outer sleeve 2, the outer sleeve 2 can move relative to the inner sleeve 1 through the gap 3 between the outer sleeve 2 and the inner sleeve 1 after the chamfer at the lower end of the outer sleeve 2 abuts against the chamfer at the mounting hole of the mounting seat. Then, the outer sleeve 2 is automatically positioned and centered after the chamfer at the lower end of the outer sleeve 2 abuts against the chamfer at the mounting hole of the mounting seat, so that the center of the outer sleeve 2 is on the same axis as the center of the mounting seat, and the outer sleeve 2 can be smoothly assembled into the mounting seat. In this way, the assembly failure is avoided, and the damage of the bench clamp or the stamping equipment parts and the deformation of the bearing sleeve body are avoided. After the outer sleeve 2 is assembled into the mounting seat, the abutting member 5 is moved in the outer sleeve 2 by the locking member 7, so that the movement of the inner sleeve 1 in the outer sleeve 2 is limited, and the inner sleeve 1 is stably assembled in the outer sleeve 2, so that the shaft sleeve can be normally used. During the movement of the outer sleeve 2, the contact between the outer sleeve 2 and the inner sleeve 1 is limited and buffered by the buffer member 6, so that the damage of the outer sleeve 2 and the inner sleeve 1 due to collision is avoided. In addition, the buffer member 6 can absorb vibration and impact during use of the shaft sleeve, so that the shaking and instability of the mechanical parts connected with the bearing during operation are reduced.

[0035] Optionally, the abutting member 5 includes two wedge-shaped abutting rings 8 symmetrically arranged in the outer sleeve 2.

Before the outer sleeve 2 is assembled to the mounting seat, the locking member 7 does not extrude the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 above the inner sleeve 1, and does not limit the movement of the inner sleeve 1. Therefore, when the clamp clamps the inner sleeve 1 and drives the outer sleeve 2 to be assembled on the mounting seat, the outer sleeve 2 can move relative to the inner sleeve 1. After the outer sleeve 2 is assembled on the mounting seat, the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 above the inner sleeve 1 can be extruded by the locking assembly, and the inner sleeve 1 is extruded to extrude the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 below the inner sleeve 1, so that the rounded corners at the upper and lower ends of the inner sleeve 1 respectively contact the two wedge-shaped abutting rings 8, so that the inner sleeve 1 is extruded and abuts, and the stable assembly in the outer sleeve 2 is completed, and the center end of the inner sleeve 1 is on the same axis as the center end of the outer sleeve 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the shaft sleeve during work.

[0040] The head end top of the plurality of locking bolts 12 is flush with the upper surface of the locking ring 10. After the outer sleeve 2 is assembled into the mounting seat, the locking ring 10 is previously placed into the assembly groove 9, then the plurality of locking bolts are sequentially inserted into the plurality of assembly holes 11, the plurality of locking bolts are controlled to rotate and are inserted into the plurality of threaded holes 13, thereby completing the fixation of the locking ring 10, so that the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 above the inner sleeve 1 is extruded and moves downward, the movement of the upper end of the inner sleeve 1 is limited, the inner sleeve 1 moves downward and extrudes the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 below the inner sleeve 1, the movement of the lower end of the inner sleeve 1 is limited, and the assembly of the inner sleeve 1 in the outer sleeve 2 is completed. At the same time, before the outer sleeve 2 is installed on the mounting seat, the locking ring 10 can be partially fixed in the assembly groove 9 by the plurality of locking bolts, thereby avoiding the situation that the inner sleeve 1 is separated from the outer sleeve 2 when the inner sleeve 1 and the outer sleeve 2 are lifted by the clamp.

[0041] Optionally, the buffer 6 comprises a rubber sleeve 14 arranged in the movable gap 3 and sleeved on the outer part of the inner sleeve 1, a plurality of inner deformation grooves 15 and outer deformation grooves 16 are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall and inner wall of the rubber sleeve 14, when the inner sleeve 1 moves in the outer sleeve 2 through the movable gap 3, the arranged rubber sleeve 14 can limit and buffer the movement of the inner sleeve 1 and the outer sleeve 2, thereby avoiding the damage caused by the direct collision between the outer wall of the inner sleeve 1 and the inner wall of the outer sleeve 2, and since the rubber sleeve 14 is provided with a plurality of inner deformation grooves 15 and outer deformation grooves 16, the compressible range of the rubber sleeve 14 can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the movement space of the outer sleeve 2 relative to the inner sleeve 1 when the inner sleeve 1 is stationary, and the arranged rubber sleeve 14 can absorb certain vibration and impact when the shaft sleeve is used, thereby reducing the shaking and instability of the mechanical parts during operation.

[0042] Optionally, the two wedge-shaped abutting rings 8 are respectively abutted against the upper surface of the positioning ring 4 and the lower surface of the locking ring 10, when the locking member 7 works, the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 located above the inner sleeve 1 is facilitated to move downward and abut against the upper end of the inner sleeve 1, and at the same time, the wedge-shaped abutting ring 8 below the inner sleeve 1 is stably abutted against the lower end of the inner sleeve 1 under the support of the positioning ring 4.

[0043] Optionally, the inner diameter of the locking ring 10 is consistent with the inner diameter of the positioning ring 4 and is greater than the inner diameter of the inner sleeve 1, thereby avoiding the contact between the shaft and the locking ring 10 and the positioning ring 4 during use, and affecting the smoothness of movement.

[0044] Optionally, the bottom end outer wall of the outer sleeve 2 is chamfered, and when the bearing sleeve is installed, the chamfered part of the bottom of the outer sleeve 2 can be matched with the chamfered part of the assembly seat, thereby making the process of inserting the outer sleeve 2 into the assembly seat more smooth.
