Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of deep groove ball bearing technology, and particularly relates to a high-speed deep groove ball bearing for automotive transmissions. Background Technology
[0002] Inside an automotive transmission, the high-speed rotational stability of the driveshaft is crucial, which often relies on the effective support of deep groove ball bearings. Deep groove ball bearings, as a key component of the transmission bearing housing, typically consist of an outer ring, inner ring, seal, cage, and balls, working together to ensure the smooth operation of the driveshaft.
[0003] Taking Chinese utility model patent CN 220286223 U as an example, this patent describes a deep groove ball bearing specifically designed for high-speed automotive transmissions, characterized by its ease of disassembly. Specifically, workers can use tools such as screwdrivers or pry bars to insert into a pre-set groove, using the bearing disassembly component as a fulcrum to pry the bearing retaining component outwards. However, this disassembly method has revealed some problems in practical applications:
[0004] First, the bearing detection components integrated on the bearing limiting member (including support springs and a detection striking ball) require high precision. If the limiting member bends during disassembly, the accuracy of its detection function will be significantly reduced. Second, the use of only a single support point for actuation not only increases the difficulty of disassembly but also affects the smoothness and efficiency of the process. Furthermore, this design, employing two springs with a single striking ball, can only respond to strong vibrations, resulting in a relatively high detection threshold and limiting its detection capability across a wider vibration range.
[0005] Therefore, it is essential to invent a high-speed deep groove ball bearing for automotive gearboxes. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-speed deep groove ball bearing for automotive transmissions, comprising a low threshold response outer ring, an inner ring, a ball assembly, a cage, a bearing seal cover, a warp cover, a bearing housing, positioning bolts, locking bolts, and warp slots. A ball assembly is disposed between the outer and inner rings of the low threshold response outer ring, and the ball assembly is constrained by the cage. The bearing seal cover is connected to both the outer and inner rings of the low threshold response outer ring. A warp cover is installed on the outer side of one side of the outer ring. The bearing housing is fixedly mounted on the outer ring by positioning bolts and is fixedly connected to the warp cover by locking bolts. The bearing housing is provided with a plurality of warp slots.
[0007] Preferably, the low threshold response outer ring includes a bearing outer ring, a response block, a response cavity, a response ball, a spring, a wobbling ball, and a sound hole. The response block, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring, has a response cavity inside. The surface of the response block has a sound hole communicating with the response cavity. A plurality of the response balls are disposed inside the response cavity. The upper end of the response block is connected to the wobbling ball by a spring.
[0008] Preferably, the bearing outer ring, bearing inner ring, bearing ball assembly, cage, and bearing seal cover together constitute a high-speed deep groove ball bearing; the bearing outer ring surface is provided with positioning holes that match the positioning bolts, wherein the bearing housing is provided with threaded holes that engage with the positioning bolts.
[0009] Preferably, the response block installed on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring is perpendicular to its own center, the response block has a rectangular block structure, and the response block is located inside the warped edge cover.
[0010] Preferably, the response block has a rectangular cavity inside the response cavity, and the response ball is allowed to move within the response cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the response block is located within one of the warp grooves, a circular array of several warp grooves is formed on the surface of the bearing seat, and the warp cover is located outside the warp groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention innovatively incorporates a pry-off cover, pry-off slots, positioning bolts, and locking bolts, creating a new, convenient, and safe disassembly method. This design cleverly separates the pry-off cover from the detection response structure, effectively preventing the potential impact of disassembly on the accuracy of the detection response structure. Simultaneously, the carefully designed multiple pry-off slots, distributed in a circular array, allow the bearing to be smoothly pulled out from multiple angles and positions, significantly reducing the risk of jamming during disassembly.
[0014] This invention's low-threshold response outer ring design, through the combination of a response block, a response cavity, a response sphere, and a sound hole, constructs a more sensitive vibration detection system. Compared to traditional designs, this mechanism can respond more accurately to vibrations over a wider range, lowering the detection threshold and improving the stability and safety of gearbox operation. Simultaneously, the design of the response block being perpendicular to its own center, and the rectangular cavity structure within the response cavity, ensures the free movement of the response sphere within the cavity, further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the detection.
[0015] Furthermore, this invention ingeniously incorporates a spring and a wobbling ball into its low-threshold response outer ring. Although the spring and wobbling ball do not directly generate a sound response during vibration, they trigger a shaking effect, thereby achieving a visual response mechanism. This dual sound and visual response mechanism provides strong assurance for overall detection accuracy, further enhancing the system's practicality and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:
[0024] This utility model provides a high-speed deep groove ball bearing for automotive transmissions, comprising a low threshold response outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, a ball assembly 3, a cage 4, a bearing seal 5, a warp cover 6, a bearing housing 7, positioning bolts 8, locking bolts 9, and warp grooves 10. The ball assembly 3 is disposed between the outer ring 11 and the inner ring 2 of the low threshold response outer ring 1, and the ball assembly 3 is constrained by the cage 4. The bearing seal 5 is connected to both the outer ring 11 and the inner ring 2 of the low threshold response outer ring 1. A warp cover 6 is installed on the outer side of the outer ring 11. The bearing housing 7 is fixedly mounted on the outer ring 11 by positioning bolts 8, and is fixedly connected to the warp cover 6 by locking bolts 9. The bearing housing 7 is provided with a plurality of warp grooves 10.
[0025] Furthermore, the low-threshold response outer ring 1 includes a bearing outer ring 11, a response block 12, a response cavity 13, a response ball 14, a spring 15, a wobbling ball 16, and a sound hole 17. One or more response blocks 12 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring 11, and a response cavity 13 is provided inside the response block 12. The surface of the response block 12 is also provided with a sound hole 17 communicating with the response cavity, so that when the response ball 14 moves in the cavity, a sound signal can be generated. Several response balls 14 are arranged in the response cavity 13, which can roll freely in the cavity to respond to external vibrations. In particular, the upper end of the response block 12 is connected to the wobbling ball 16 through the spring 15. When vibration occurs, the wobbling ball 16 will shake accordingly, providing additional visual detection signals.
[0026] Furthermore, the high-speed deep groove ball bearing is mainly composed of key components such as the bearing outer ring 11, bearing inner ring 2, bearing ball assembly 3, cage 4, and bearing seal cover 5. These components work together to ensure stable operation of the bearing at high speeds. In addition, the surface of the bearing outer ring 11 is provided with locating holes, which match the locating bolts 8 for securely mounting the bearing outer ring 11 onto the bearing housing 7. The bearing housing 7 has threaded holes that engage with the locating bolts 8, further enhancing the stability of the installation.
[0027] Furthermore, the response block 12 on the outer surface of the bearing outer ring 11 is designed as a rectangular block structure perpendicular to the bearing center. This design not only ensures the sensitivity of the response block in vibration detection but also helps maintain the overall stability of the bearing. The response block 12 is located inside the warp cover 6 and cooperates with the warp groove 10, allowing the bearing to be easily moved during disassembly.
[0028] Furthermore, the response cavity 13 inside the response block 12 is designed as a rectangular cavity structure, providing sufficient space for the movement of the response ball 14. The response ball can roll freely within the cavity to respond to external vibrations. This design makes vibration detection more sensitive and accurate.
[0029] Furthermore, several raised edge slots 10 are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the bearing housing 7. These slots cooperate with the raised edge cover 6, allowing the bearing to be easily moved during disassembly. The raised edge cover 6 is located outside the raised edge slots, serving a protective and guiding function. This design not only improves the ease of disassembly but also helps protect the bearing and its testing components from damage.
[0030] The working principle is as follows: First, the core components of the bearing include a low-threshold response outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, a ball bearing assembly 3, a cage 4, and a bearing seal 5. The design of the low-threshold response outer ring 1 is one of the innovations of this invention. It can generate sound and visual signals through an internal response mechanism when the bearing is subjected to external vibration, thereby achieving real-time monitoring of the bearing's condition.
[0031] Specifically, the low-threshold response outer ring 1 consists of components such as a bearing outer ring 11, a response block 12, a response cavity 13, a response ball 14, a spring 15, a wobbling ball 16, and a sound hole 17. When the bearing is subjected to external vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the bearing outer ring 11, causing the response ball 14 in the response block 12 to roll within the response cavity 13. This rolling motion generates a sound signal through the sound hole 17, thereby achieving sound detection of the vibration. At the same time, the spring 15 and the wobbling ball 16 at the upper end of the response block 12 also wobble under the action of vibration, providing additional visual detection signals.
[0032] Furthermore, the bearing ball assembly 3 is constrained by the cage 4, rolling between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 11, thereby reducing friction and supporting and transmitting loads. The bearing seal 5 is used to prevent external impurities from entering the bearing, keeping the bearing clean and lubricated.
[0033] During bearing installation, the outer ring 11 of the bearing is fixedly connected to the bearing housing 7 via positioning holes and positioning bolts 8, while the bearing housing 7 is fixedly connected to the lifting cover 6 via locking bolts 9. The design of the lifting cover 6 and the lifting groove 10 allows the bearing to be easily moved during disassembly, improving the convenience of disassembly.
[0034] Finally, when the bearing operates at high speeds, all components work together to ensure stable operation. The rolling motion of the bearing ball assembly 3 reduces friction and wear, improving mechanical efficiency and speed. Simultaneously, the vibration detection mechanism of the low-threshold response outer ring 1 can monitor the bearing's condition in real time. Once abnormal vibration is detected, timely measures can be taken for repair or replacement to prevent malfunctions.
[0035] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
