Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, specifically to a low-noise bearing housing. Background Technology

[0002] Among numerous mechanical devices, bearing housings are among the most critical components, playing a vital role in supporting rotating shafts, bearing loads, and ensuring stable equipment operation. For example, in various industrial motors, the running gear of rail vehicles, and numerous transmission devices, the performance of bearing housings directly affects the overall working condition and service life of the equipment.

[0003] However, traditional bearing housings currently face many problems that urgently need to be addressed in practical applications.

[0004] First, noise is a significant issue. During equipment operation, the bearings inside the axle box inevitably vibrate due to rolling and sliding friction between the rollers and raceways, as well as the relative movement of the cage and other components. This vibration is then converted into noise and propagated outwards. Furthermore, with prolonged use, the bearings and other components within the axle box gradually wear down. For example, scratches and pits may appear on the raceway surface, and the roundness of the rollers may change. This reduces the precision of the fit between components, making the friction conditions increasingly complex and irregular, leading to a continuous increase in vibration amplitude and consequently, louder noise. This continuously increasing and significant noise not only affects the operator's working environment and easily causes auditory fatigue, but prolonged exposure to high-decibel noise can also damage the operator's hearing.

[0005] Secondly, inadequate heat dissipation is also a significant problem faced by existing axle boxes. During equipment operation, the bearings and axle box as a whole generate heat due to friction and other factors. If this heat cannot be dissipated effectively and promptly, the internal temperature of the axle box will continuously rise. On the one hand, high temperatures accelerate the aging and failure of bearing grease, reducing its lubrication performance and further exacerbating internal friction, leading to increased noise and accelerated component wear. On the other hand, excessively high temperatures may also cause thermal expansion of the axle box material, altering the fit clearance between internal components, affecting the overall mechanical properties and operational stability of the axle box, and potentially causing serious malfunctions such as component deformation and jamming. This significantly shortens the service life of the axle box and the entire equipment, increases maintenance costs and downtime, and causes numerous inconveniences to production and operation.

[0006] In conclusion, given the significant shortcomings of existing bearing housings in terms of noise control and heat dissipation, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of bearing housing that can effectively reduce noise and has good heat dissipation performance to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of mechanical equipment in various fields. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention presents a low-noise bearing housing.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0009] A low-noise bearing housing includes a base, a fixed outer ring is interference-fitted to the inner bottom wall of the base, multiple screw holes are provided on the front and rear end walls of the fixed outer ring, a support seat is provided on the inner wall of the fixed outer ring through multiple connecting seats, a groove is provided on the outer wall of the connecting seat, a fixed inner ring is interference-fitted to the inner wall of the support seat, a liquid inlet pipe is provided on the top wall of the fixed outer ring, and a liquid outlet pipe is provided on the bottom wall of the fixed outer ring.

[0010] It also includes a fixing seat, which is placed on the front and rear sides of the fixing outer ring. The outer wall of the fixing seat has multiple through holes, and bolts are movably installed in the through holes and screw holes. A sealing gasket is provided between the fixing seat and the fixing outer ring. A sealing ring is provided on the inner side wall of the sealing gasket, and multiple slots are provided on the outer wall of the sealing ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the support bases are arranged in a circumferentially spaced pattern on the outer wall of the fixed outer ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing ring is movably embedded between the fixed outer ring and the support base.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of slots is the same as that of the connector, and the outer wall of the connector is inserted into the slot.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention features an enclosed heat-conducting oil chamber on the outside of the axle box, filled with heat-conducting oil. When the bearing inside the axle box vibrates due to friction between the rollers and raceways, or relative movement between the cage and other components, the heat-conducting oil, with its damping properties, buffers and absorbs the vibration, effectively suppressing its propagation outward. This reduces noise generated by vibration, improves the acoustic environment during equipment operation, reduces potential harm to operators' hearing, and alleviates auditory fatigue.

[0016] The heat transfer oil chamber and circulating heat transfer oil system of this invention can continuously suppress vibration regardless of the wear of the shaft box components, avoiding the continuous increase in noise caused by component aging and increased wear, maintaining a relatively stable and low noise level, and extending the service life of the equipment under low noise conditions.

[0017] The present invention fully considers the convenience of installation in its structural design. The components such as the sealing ring, sealing gasket, and fixing seat are connected by slots, bolts and other means, which makes the operation simple and the connection firm. It is easy for the staff to complete the assembly of the entire heat transfer oil cavity and the connection with the shaft box and heat exchanger by following the corresponding steps. It can be put into use quickly and saves installation time and labor costs. Attached Figure Description
