[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: multiple upper and lower protective covers are provided, and multiple upper and lower protective covers are combined to form a ring structure.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover mounting groove is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed threaded holes, and the upper protective cover and the lower protective cover are provided with mounting holes aligned with the threaded holes.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the sealing groove on the inner ring is inclined downward toward the outer ring, and the sealing groove on the outer ring is inclined upward toward the inner ring.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: an annular groove is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the sealing element mounting groove, and anti-slip protrusions are formed on the upper sealing element and the upper protective cover to engage with the annular groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By installing upper and lower protective covers, contact and collision between hard objects and the upper and lower seals can be avoided, preventing damage to the seals. Simultaneously, direct sunlight on the seals can be prevented, thus accelerating their aging. This effectively slows down the aging of the upper and lower seals, extending their service life and allowing the slewing bearing to be used better in outdoor environments with excellent waterproofing.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a slewing bearing for wading includes a slewing bearing body 1 composed of an inner ring 101, an outer ring 102, and a rolling element 103. The outer ring 102 is distributed outside the inner ring 101. The rolling element 103 is tactilely connected to the inner ring 101 and the inner side of the raceway of the outer ring 102. A sealing element mounting groove 104 is provided on the top of the outer side of the inner ring 101 and the bottom of the inner side of the outer ring 102. An upper sealing element 2 and a lower sealing element 4 are respectively installed on the inner side of the two sealing element mounting grooves 104. The upper sealing element 2 and the lower sealing element 4 are used to seal the gap between the inner ring 101 and the outer ring 102.
[0021] The top of the inner ring 101 and the bottom of the outer ring 102 are both provided with protective cover mounting grooves 106. An upper protective cover 3 is installed inside the protective cover mounting groove 106 at the top of the inner ring 101. The upper protective cover 3 is used to shield and protect the upper surface of the upper seal 2.
[0022] A lower protective cover 5 is installed inside the bottom protective cover mounting groove 106 of the outer ring 102. The lower protective cover 5 is used to shield and protect the lower surface of the lower seal 4.
[0023] Multiple protective covers 3 and multiple lower protective covers 5 are provided, and multiple upper protective covers 3 and multiple lower protective covers 5 are combined to form a ring structure;
[0024] The bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover mounting groove 106 is provided with several circumferentially distributed threaded holes 107, and the upper protective cover 3 and the lower protective cover 5 are provided with mounting holes aligned with the threaded holes 107.
[0025] In this embodiment: When installing this slewing bearing, after the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4 are respectively installed on the inner ring 101 and the outer ring 102, an upper protective cover 3 can be installed on the top of the inner ring 101. Multiple annularly distributed upper protective covers 3 can completely cover the upper seal 2. A lower protective cover 5 is installed at the bottom of the outer ring 102. Multiple annularly distributed lower protective covers 5 completely cover the lower seal 4.
[0026] Thus, when used in an outdoor environment, the upper protective cover 3 and the lower protective cover 5 can block some fixed impurities (such as stones) and sunlight, thereby preventing hard objects from contacting and colliding with the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4, which could cause damage to the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4. At the same time, it can prevent direct sunlight from hitting the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4, which could lead to accelerated aging of the seals.
[0027] The combination of these multiple parts can effectively slow down the aging of the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4, thereby extending the service life of the upper seal 2 and the lower seal 4, enabling the slewing bearing to be used better in outdoor environments and providing good waterproof performance.
[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-4The sealing mounting groove 104 on the inner ring 101 is inclined downward toward the outer ring 102, and the sealing mounting groove 104 on the outer ring 102 is inclined upward toward the inner ring 101.
[0029] The bottom of the inner wall of the sealing installation groove 104 is provided with an annular groove 105, and the upper sealing element 2 and the upper protective cover 3 are formed with anti-slip protrusions 6 that engage with the annular groove 105.
[0030] In this embodiment: the inclined structure of the sealing installation groove 104 allows the upper sealing element 2 and the lower sealing element 4 to fit better against the surfaces of the outer ring 102 and the inner ring 101 after installation, thereby achieving a good sealing effect.
[0031] By engaging the protective protrusion 6 with the annular groove 105 and using the protective cover to limit and compress the seal, not only can the seal be effectively prevented from loosening, but it can also prevent the seal from deforming outward, thus further improving the sealing effect of the seal.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
