[0024] In order to make the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application clearer, the accompanying drawings needed in the embodiment description will be briefly introduced. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description only show some embodiments of the present application, and other drawings can be obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort.

[0025] The embodiments of the present application provide a high-speed cylindrical roller bearing retainer, which can solve the problem that the gap between the locking opening and the roller is too small in the prior art, which hinders the flow of lubricant, and further affects the normal rotation of the bearing, and more seriously, may cause the bearing to be stuck.

[0026] REFERENCE Figure 1 and Figure 2The high-speed cylindrical roller bearing retainer disclosed in the application comprises a retainer frame 1, a plurality of clamping side beams 2 are arranged on the retainer frame 1 in a circumferential direction, a roller clamping station is formed between the two clamping side beams 2, the clamping side beam 2 comprises an outer locking jaw fixed section 21 and an inner locking jaw fixed section 22, the outer locking jaw fixed section 21 is specifically a section of the clamping side beam 2 away from the axis of the retainer frame 1, the axial diameter between adjacent outer locking jaw fixed sections 21 is greater than the diameter of the roller body 5, so as to facilitate the rotation of the roller body 5 in the roller clamping station; the inner locking jaw fixed section 22 is specifically a section of the clamping side beam 2 close to the axis of the retainer frame 1, the axial diameter between adjacent inner locking jaw fixed sections 22 is less than the diameter of the roller body 5, thereby clamping the roller body 5 in the roller clamping station and reducing the possibility of the roller body 5 slipping along the retainer frame 1 in the radial direction in the roller clamping station.

[0027] The clamping side beam 2 is provided with an oil guide groove 221 on the inner locking jaw fixed section 22, and the oil guide groove 221 is arranged in a circular arc shape, and the circular arc opening of the oil guide groove 221 faces the axis of the retainer frame 1, so that when the roller body 5 rotates in the roller clamping station with the retainer frame 1, the lubricating oil can be stored in the oil guide groove 221, thereby lubricating the surface of the roller body 5 when the retainer frame 1 rotates. Due to the circular arc shape of the oil guide groove 221 and the arc opening of the oil guide groove 221 facing the axis of the retainer frame 1, the slotted area on the side of the inner locking jaw fixed section 22 facing the outer locking jaw fixed section 21 is small, and the end of the inner locking jaw fixed section 22 away from the retainer frame 1 can still clamp the roller body 5, solving the problem that the gap between the locking opening and the roller in the prior art is too small, which hinders the flow of lubricant, thereby affecting the normal rotation of the bearing, and more seriously, it may cause the bearing to be stuck.

[0028] More specifically, in an embodiment of the application, the axial diameter between adjacent outer locking jaw fixed sections 21 is greater than the diameter of the roller body 5 by 0.2-0.3mm, this slight size difference not only provides a certain activity allowance for the roller body 5, avoiding assembly difficulties or increased friction during operation due to the roller clamping station being too tight, but also ensures that the roller body 5 can still remain in the predetermined position when subjected to axial or radial force, preventing it from accidentally falling out, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the bearing. The axial diameter between adjacent inner locking jaw fixed sections 22 is less than the diameter of the roller body 5 by 0.3-0.4mm, through the moderate tightening of the space limitation, the restraining effect on the roller body 5 is further enhanced, especially in the case of high-speed rotation, it can effectively reduce the possibility of unnecessary displacement or shaking of the roller body 5 inside the bearing, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the bearing during operation.

[0029] It is worth noting that the specific numerical ranges mentioned above (0.2-0.3 mm and 0.3-0.4 mm) are not absolute values, but rather reference intervals based on typical roller body 5 diameters and general bearing machining requirements. In actual applications, these dimensions can be flexibly adjusted and optimized according to specific roller body 5 diameters, bearing operating environments (such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc.), material properties, and expected service life requirements. For example, in applications requiring higher precision and lower friction, these size differences may be reduced to further enhance the performance of the retainer frame 1 in clamping the roller body 5; in situations where assembly convenience or cost is a particular concern, these size restrictions may be appropriately relaxed to ensure production efficiency and economic benefits.

[0030] The clamping side beam 2 also has an oil storage groove 23. The oil storage groove 23 can store lubricating oil during bearing rotation and lubricate the surface of the roller body 5. The oil storage groove 23 is in communication with the oil guide groove 221, so the oil guide groove 221 can guide the lubricating oil stored in the oil storage groove 23 along the radial direction of the retainer frame 1 to the center of the retainer frame 1, so that the lubricating oil of the inner locking jaw fixed section 22 remains sufficient, reducing the possibility of jamming during subsequent bearing rotation.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the oil storage groove 23 is provided on the clamping side beam 2 along the length direction of the clamping side beam 2, and the oil storage groove 23 is arranged between the outer locking jaw fixed section 21 and the inner locking jaw fixed section 22. The main clamping position of the roller body 5 is located at the junction of the outer locking jaw fixed section 21 and the inner locking jaw fixed section 22. The oil storage groove 23 can reduce the area of the clamping side beam 2 in contact with the roller body 5 in the length direction, reducing heat generation during bearing rotation. The oil storage groove 23 can store lubricating oil. When the lubricating oil is affected by centrifugal force during bearing rotation, it can flow towards the roller body 5, increasing the length of the oil storage groove 23, further increasing the storage capacity of the lubricating oil, and allowing it to flow more evenly to the roller body 5.

[0032] Further, the surface of the clamping side beam 2 is specifically provided as a circular arc surface protruding towards the roller body 5, so that whether it is the outer locking jaw fixed section 21 or the inner locking jaw fixed section 22, when it contacts the roller body 5, it can change from surface contact to line contact, reducing the contact area and reducing heat generation while facilitating the passage of lubricating oil.

[0033] In order to reduce the weight of the retainer frame 1 and achieve lightweight of the retainer frame 1, the clamping side beam 2 is provided with a lightweight slot hole 24 in the middle of the clamping side beam 2. In an embodiment of the present application, the lightweight slot hole 24 is also provided along the length direction of the clamping side beam 2, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost of the retainer frame 1, reduce the weight of the retainer frame 1, and achieve lightweight design of the retainer frame 1. The end surface of the retainer frame 1 is also provided with an end surface slot 4, so as to further reduce the weight of the retainer frame 1.

[0034] With reference to Figure 1 The retainer frame 1 is provided with an outer ring stop 3 on the end surface of the retainer frame 1 near one end of the outer locking claw fixed section 21. After the bearing outer ring is installed on the retainer frame 1, the outer ring stop 3 can block the bearing outer ring, reduce the possibility of the bearing outer ring coming off during high-speed rotation, increase the safety of the whole bearing in use, and make it more convenient to use.

[0035] In actual preparation process, the retainer frame 1 can be made of plastic. Plastic has a relatively light mass density, which can significantly reduce the weight of the whole bearing assembly. It is particularly important for application scenarios that need to reduce the weight of equipment to improve operating efficiency or reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the light weight of plastic is convenient for processing and transportation, which reduces the production cost. Secondly, plastic has good forming processing performance. Through injection molding, extrusion and other forming processes, the shape, size and precision of the retainer frame 1 can be accurately controlled to meet the high precision and high stability requirements of the bearing on the retainer frame 1. In addition, the plasticity and customizability of plastic also provide greater freedom for design, which can adjust the material formula and forming process according to the actual demand to obtain the best mechanical performance and wear resistance. Of course, when choosing plastic as the material of the retainer frame 1, its potential limitations also need to be considered, such as larger thermal expansion coefficient and relatively lower mechanical strength. Therefore, in actual application, the specific working conditions, load requirements and environmental factors need to be considered comprehensively to select the appropriate type and grade of plastic to ensure that the performance of the retainer frame 1 meets the design requirements.
