Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bushing technology, specifically to a knurled guide bushing. Background Technology

[0002] Knurled guide bushings are components used in mechanical transmission devices. They are typically installed between a shaft and other parts, primarily serving to guide and support the shaft, ensuring its accuracy and stability during movement. They also reduce friction between the shaft and other components, improving transmission efficiency and extending the service life of the shaft and related parts.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese Patent (authorization announcement number CN222296741 U) discloses a knurled guide bushing, which includes a guide bushing, a first knurled bushing fixedly connected inside the guide bushing, a bushing fixedly connected to one end of the first knurled bushing, an oil passage gap formed between the bushing and the guide bushing, an oil storage space formed inside the bushing, a second knurled bushing fixedly connected to the guide bushing at the end of the bushing away from the first knurled bushing, the outer diameter of the bushing being smaller than the outer diameters of the first and second knurled bushings, and a second oil inlet hole provided on the bushing. The oil passage gap can store a portion of lubricating oil, ensuring that the guide bushing can still supply lubrication normally when the oil supply channel is blocked without generating severe friction, giving the staff a buffer time for maintenance, and thus significantly reducing the incidence of friction damage.

[0004] Specifically, in the aforementioned disclosed prior art solutions, a certain gap is reserved between the spacers to store a portion of lubricating oil, hoping to provide necessary lubrication between the bushing and the rotating shaft. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the amount of lubricating oil stored in this method is extremely limited. During the high-speed and long-term relative rotation of the bushing and the rotating shaft, the consumption of lubricating oil is significant. The lubricating oil stored solely in the spacers is far from sufficient to meet the bushing's continuous and stable lubrication needs. As operating time increases, the lubricating oil gradually depletes, and the coefficient of friction between the bushing and the rotating shaft increases rapidly, leading to accelerated wear and affecting the overall operational stability and reliability of the equipment. The vibration amplitude of the equipment increases significantly, generating abnormal noise, and in severe cases, it may even cause the bushing and rotating shaft to seize, or the equipment to shut down, greatly hindering production operations, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime losses, and negatively impacting production efficiency and economic benefits. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a knurled guide bushing, aiming to solve the problem of the previously disclosed patent's design, which uses a certain gap in the bushing gap to store a portion of lubricating oil, hoping to provide necessary lubrication between the bushing and the rotating shaft. However, in practical applications, it has been found that the amount of lubricating oil stored in this method is extremely limited. During the high-speed and long-term relative rotation between the bushing and the rotating shaft, the consumption of lubricating oil is significant, and the lubricating oil stored in the bushing gap alone is far from meeting the bushing's continuous and stable lubrication needs. As the operating time increases, the lubricating oil gradually depletes, the coefficient of friction between the bushing and the rotating shaft increases rapidly, leading to accelerated wear and consequently affecting the overall operational stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a knurled guide bushing, comprising a first knurled bushing and a second knurled bushing mounted on the surface of the first knurled bushing, wherein one end of the second knurled bushing is connected to a mounting plate, and a sleeve is installed inside the first knurled bushing, wherein a drive shaft is connected to the inner wall of the sleeve.

[0007] An oil collection box is installed on the inner wall of the sleeve. A support is connected to the inner wall of the opening of the oil collection box. An oil collection groove is formed on the inner wall of the support. An oil outlet is formed on the outer wall of the support. An installation groove is formed at the bottom of the outer wall of the oil collection box. An oil collection box sealing ring is installed on the inner wall of the installation groove. A sealing block is connected to the top of the first knurled sleeve. A sealing groove is formed on the inner wall of the sealing block. A sealing ring is installed on the inner wall of the sealing groove.

[0008] To improve the lubrication effect of the bushing, as a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this utility model, the surfaces of the first knurled bushing and the second knurled bushing are provided with knurled structures, and the oil collection box is made of stainless steel.

[0009] To facilitate the rapid supply of lubricating oil, in a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this utility model, the oil outlet is connected to the support platform and the oil collection groove, and the oil collection box and the support platform together form a lubricating oil groove.

[0010] To facilitate sealing of lubrication gaps, in a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this invention, the oil collection box sealing ring and the mounting groove on the outer wall of the oil collection box form an interference fit, and the oil collection box is sealed to the inner wall of the sleeve through the oil collection box sealing ring.

[0011] To facilitate sealing of the top of the bushing, in a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this invention, the sealing block is sealed to the drive shaft via a sealing ring.

[0012] To facilitate docking of the bushing with external devices, in a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this utility model, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with mounting holes, and a base support is installed at the bottom end of the second knurled bushing.

[0013] To ensure sealing, in a preferred embodiment of the knurled guide bushing of this utility model, the surface of the first knurled bushing is provided with an oil inlet groove, and an oil inlet sealing valve is threadedly connected to the opening of the oil inlet groove. An oil outlet groove is provided on the side of the first knurled bushing opposite to the oil inlet groove, and an oil outlet sealing valve is threadedly connected to the surface of the oil outlet groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention involves assembling a first knurled sleeve and a second knurled sleeve with the drive shaft through a sleeve. One end of the drive shaft is then brought into contact with a support on the surface of the oil collection box. A sealing block is then installed and sealed at the top of the first knurled sleeve. Lubricating oil enters through the inlet groove and flows along the gap between the sleeve and the drive shaft. The oil then enters the oil groove on the inner wall of the oil collection box and exits through the outlet into the oil collection groove inside the support, storing excess lubricating oil. The inlet valve is then sealed. When there is insufficient lubricating oil in the gap between the sleeve and the drive shaft, a pressure difference is created, forcing excess lubricating oil inside the oil collection box into the gap between the sleeve and the drive shaft, facilitating rapid replenishment of lubricating oil and improving the lubrication effect between the knurled guide sleeve and the drive shaft.

[0026] Preferably, the surfaces of the first knurled sleeve 1 and the second knurled sleeve 2 are provided with knurled structures, and the oil collection box 5 is made of stainless steel. In actual use, the knurled structure can increase the friction between the bushing and other components, prevent the bushing from rotating or sliding at the installation position, and play a better role in fixing.

[0027] Preferably, the oil outlet 8 passes through the support 6 and connects to the oil collection groove 7, and the oil collection box 5 and the support 6 together form a lubricating oil groove. In actual use, the structure of the oil outlet 8, which is larger inside and smaller outside, facilitates the rapid filling of lubricating oil, thereby improving the safety of the bushing.

[0028] Preferably, the oil collection box sealing ring 10 and the mounting groove 9 on the outer wall of the oil collection box 5 form an interference fit, and the oil collection box 5 is sealed to the inner wall of the sleeve 101 through the oil collection box sealing ring 10.

Then, the lubricating oil flows along the gap between the sleeve 101 and the drive shaft 4. Then, the lubricating oil enters the oil groove on the inner wall of the oil collection box 5 and enters the support plate 6 through the oil outlet 8. Excess lubricating oil is stored in the internal oil collection groove 7. Then, the oil inlet sealing valve 16 is sealed. When there is a lack of lubricating oil in the gap between the sleeve 101 and the drive shaft 4, a pressure difference is generated in the gap. At this time, the excess lubricating oil in the oil collection box 5 is squeezed into the gap between the sleeve 101 and the drive shaft 4, which facilitates quick replenishment of lubricating oil and improves the lubrication effect between the knurled guide bushing and the drive shaft 4. In addition, by sealing the oil inlet sealing valve 16 and the oil outlet sealing valve 18 at the oil inlet groove 15 and the oil outlet groove 17, the sealing and safety of the bushing during use are ensured.
