[0002] In a mechanical transmission system, the clutch bearing is one of the core components for realizing power transmission, and its lubrication performance is directly related to the transmission efficiency, operation stability and service life.

[0003] Traditional clutch bearings mostly adopt the way of periodic disassembly and oil injection, and the lubricating grease needs to be supplemented after lifting the gearbox or removing the bearing, which leads to high maintenance cost and complicated operation.

[0004] As an optimization, some bearings are provided with oil injection holes, making the oil injection method simple. However, the oil injection method adopted is mostly manual oil supplement, and the space between the inner and outer rings of the bearing is limited, so the amount of oil injected each time is limited and the amount of oil is not easy to control. When the lubricating grease is injected in excess, it is easy to overflow from the gap and pollute the working environment; and when the grease is insufficient, frequent shutdown for oil injection is required, which significantly reduces the efficiency of the equipment. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In order to prolong the oil injection time each time and automatically supplement the oil, the present application provides a clutch bearing.

[0010] In one of the embodiments, the retainer is provided with a lubricating oil channel, an oil inlet is arranged at one end of the lubricating oil channel away from the rollers, an oil outlet hole and an oil outlet groove are arranged on the end surface in contact with the rollers, and the oil outlet hole and the oil outlet groove are in communication.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the oil inlet is in communication with the tooth-shaped structure.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, the number of oil inlets is the same as that of tooth-shaped structures.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the clutch bearing further comprises a shell, the cross section of the inner ring is in the shape of "I", the cross section of the outer ring is in the shape of "L", and the shell is installed on the outer ring and seals the opening on the side of the inner ring and the outer ring.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the shell is clamped on the outer ring.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the shell is in the shape of "L" in cross section, and the shell comprises a blocking part and a clamping part for forming the shape of "L", the clamping part is clamped on the outer ring and covers the outer ring.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the end of the clamping part away from the blocking part is bent to form a buckle, and the L-shaped right angle of the outer ring is provided with a chamfer structure for clamping the buckle.

[0017] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By designing the oil storage groove and the oil injection hole, on the one hand, the oil storage capacity of the bearing is expanded, and the use time after each oiling is improved.

[0029] A clutch bearing, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprises a bearing inner ring 100, a bearing outer ring 200, a shell cover 300, and a roller 400 and a retainer 500 arranged between the bearing inner ring 100 and the bearing outer ring 200, the bearing inner ring 100, the bearing outer ring 200 and the shell cover 300 form a closed roller 400 cavity, and the roller 400 and the retainer 500 are located in the roller 400 cavity.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in order to facilitate assembly, the cross section of the bearing inner ring 100 is in the shape of "I", and the cross section of the bearing outer ring 200 is in the shape of "L", so that after the bearing inner ring 100, the bearing outer ring 200, the roller 400 and the retainer 500 are installed, one side of the bearing is provided with an opening.

[0031] The shell cover 300 is installed on the bearing outer ring 200 and closes the opening on one side of the bearing inner ring 100 and the bearing outer ring 200. Specifically, in order to further facilitate installation, the shell cover 300 is clamped and installed on the bearing outer ring 200.

[0032] The cross section of the shell cover 300 is in the shape of "L", and the shell cover 300 comprises a plugging part 310 and a clamping part 320 for forming the shape of "L", the plugging part 310 is used to close the opening, and the clamping part 320 is clamped with the bearing outer ring 200 and covers the bearing outer ring 200 to realize the connection between the shell cover 300 and the bearing outer ring 200.

[0033] The end of the snap-fit ​​portion 320 away from the sealing portion 310 is bent to form a snap-fit ​​321, and the L-shaped right angle of the bearing outer ring 200 is provided with a chamfered structure 210 for engaging with the snap-fit ​​321.

[0034] In addition, to facilitate the installation of the snap-fit ​​part 320 onto the bearing outer ring 200, a guide chamfer 220 is provided on the outer edge of the bearing outer ring 200 at the bearing opening.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, an oil reservoir 110 is provided on the inner wall of the bearing inner ring 100, and a plurality of oil injection holes 120 are provided on the oil reservoir 110, penetrating the bearing inner ring 100. Preferably, three or more oil injection holes 120 are provided, and the plurality of oil injection holes 120 are evenly distributed around the axis on the inner wall of the bearing inner ring 100. The oil reservoir 110 is connected to the roller 400 cavity through the oil injection holes 120.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the retainer 500 is provided with an oiling structure 510 for bringing grease from the oil reservoir 110 into the roller 400 cavity through the oil injection hole 120.

[0037] In this embodiment, the oiling structure 510 is a toothed structure provided on the inner circle of the retainer 500. The toothed structure is provided by protrusion or groove on the inner circle of the retainer 500. In this embodiment, the toothed structure is formed by a groove structure.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the bearing is effective in both forward and reverse rotation, the adjacent tooth structures are oriented in opposite directions around the circumference.
