Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, and in particular to a self-lubricating composite bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Sliding bearings are critical components widely used in mechanical equipment. Their main function is to support rotating shafts and reduce friction. They are widely used in heavy machinery, high-speed rotating equipment, and extreme operating conditions (such as high-temperature and highly corrosive environments). Sliding bearings typically consist of a bearing shell, a bearing housing, and a lubrication system.
[0003] Currently, existing self-lubricating sliding bearings generally use solid lubricants such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide embedded in a metal or polymer matrix. The lubricant is released slowly during friction to form a lubricating film, reducing wear. However, in actual use, the lubricant solidifies with the matrix, and once depleted, it cannot be replenished, leading to the complete failure of the bearing, resulting in high maintenance costs and wasted resources.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a self-lubricating composite bearing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a self-lubricating composite bearing to solve the problem in the prior art of self-lubricating bearings where the lubricant is solidified with the matrix and cannot be replenished after it is exhausted, resulting in the overall scrapping of the bearing, high maintenance costs and waste of resources.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A self-lubricating composite bearing includes a bearing housing, a bearing bush mechanism disposed in the middle of the bearing housing, a journal inserted in the bearing bush mechanism, the bearing bush mechanism including two semi-annular bearing bush bases, a fixing bush detachably installed on the outer side of the bearing bush base, a plurality of graphite pillars vertically installed on the inner wall of the fixing bush, and a lubrication hole for embedding the graphite pillars is correspondingly opened on the bearing bush base.
[0008] Optionally, an installation groove is provided in the middle of the outer side of the bearing base, and the fixing bearing is embedded in the installation groove.
[0009] Optionally, a fixing screw hole is provided in the mounting groove, and a fastening bolt is fitted to the fixing tile. The fastening bolt passes through the fixing tile and is threadedly inserted into the fixing screw hole for fixation.
[0010] Optionally, the fixing tile has a receiving groove for the bolt cap of the fastening bolt to be fully inserted.
[0011] Optionally, a plurality of fixing pins are fixed on the inner wall of the fixing tile, and the graphite column is inserted and fixed to the fixing pins.
[0012] Optionally, the length of the fixing pin is not longer than the depth of the lubrication hole.
[0013] Optionally, the fixing pin is a stainless steel structure with a diameter of not less than 3mm, and the root of the fixing pin is designed with a transition rounded corner.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In the above solution, thanks to the detachable fixing pad and the plug-in graphite column, when the graphite column is exhausted, only the fixing pad needs to be removed to replace the graphite column, rather than the whole bearing. This greatly reduces maintenance costs and material waste, and is especially suitable for the long-term operation and maintenance needs of large heavy-duty equipment.
[0016] In the above scheme, thanks to the setting of the fixing pin and the lubrication hole to install the graphite column, and the bidirectional limiting formed by the inner side of the journal and the outer side of the fixing pad, the lubricant can be accurately released to the friction interface, which can avoid the problem of local dry friction caused by uneven distribution of lubricant in the traditional sintering process to a certain extent.
[0017] In summary, the lubricant in this device is easy to replace and replenish after it is depleted, without ruining the entire bearing. This facilitates later maintenance, reduces resource waste, and results in good overall performance. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a self-lubricating composite bearing, including a bearing housing 1. A bearing bush mechanism 2 is provided in the middle of the bearing housing 1, and a journal 3 is inserted inside the bearing bush mechanism 2. The bearing bush mechanism 2 includes two semi-annular bearing bush bases 201. A fixing bush 202 is detachably installed on the outer side of the bearing bush base 201. A plurality of graphite pillars 203 are vertically installed on the inner wall of the fixing bush 202, and lubrication holes 205 are correspondingly opened on the bearing bush base 201 for the graphite pillars 203 to be inserted.
[0032] Specifically, a plurality of fixing pins 204 are fixed on the inner wall of the fixing plate 202, and the graphite column 203 is inserted and fixed to the fixing pins 204. In this embodiment, the length of the fixing pin 204 is not longer than the depth of the lubrication hole 205, and the fixing pin 204 is a stainless steel structure with a diameter of not less than 3mm to avoid potential problems such as bending due to journal eccentric load or high-frequency vibration. The root of the fixing pin 204 is designed with a rounded corner to reduce stress concentration.
[0033] Cooperate Figure 4 As shown, an installation groove 206 is provided in the middle of the outer side of the bearing base 201. The fixing bearing 202 is embedded in the installation groove 206. A fixing screw hole 207 is provided in the installation groove 206. The fixing bearing 202 is fitted with a fastening bolt 209.

[0034] The working principle provided by this utility model is that, in use, the self-lubricating composite bearing, due to the detachable fixing pad 202 and the plug-in installed graphite column 203, means that when the graphite column 203 is exhausted, only the fixing pad 202 needs to be removed to replace the graphite column 203, rather than the whole bearing, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and material waste, and is especially suitable for the long-term operation and maintenance needs of large heavy-duty equipment.
[0035] Meanwhile, the graphite column 203 is installed by setting the fixing pin 204 and the lubrication hole 205, and the bidirectional limiting formed by the inner side of the journal 3 and the outer side of the fixing tile 202 can ensure that the lubricant is accurately released to the friction interface, which can avoid the problem of local dry friction caused by uneven distribution of lubricant in traditional sintering process.
[0036] In summary, the lubricant in this device is easy to replace and replenish after it is depleted, without ruining the entire bearing. This facilitates later maintenance, reduces resource waste, and results in good overall performance.
