[0002] Steel ball bushings are widely used components in the mechanical field, typically consisting of an outer sleeve and steel balls;

[0003] High-precision measuring instruments, such as coordinate measuring machines, can accurately measure various dimensional parameters of the ball-and-socket track, ensuring that dimensional accuracy meets standards. Optical inspection techniques, such as laser interferometers and microscopes, are used to inspect the surface quality of the ball-and-socket track, clearly observing minute defects such as cracks and scratches. The introduction of automated inspection equipment, through programmed control of the inspection process, enables rapid, batch inspection of ball-and-socket tracks, improving inspection efficiency and accuracy.

[0004] However, even after the ball socket track testing process has been optimized, the end face of the ball socket is still prone to wear, and the ball socket is easily unstable due to impacts. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steel ball sleeve based on an optimized ball-and-socket track detection process.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steel ball sleeve based on an optimized ball-and-socket track detection process, comprising a sleeve body and steel ball bodies, wherein a plurality of sets of steel ball bodies are embedded in the sleeve body, and further comprising:

[0009] The auxiliary component includes a support ring, a sleeve, a retaining ring, and an end cap. A sleeve is also provided below the support ring. A retaining ring with an outer diameter smaller than that of the support ring is provided on the outer side of the sleeve. A bearing groove adapted to the support ring is symmetrically provided on both sides of the sleeve. A receiving groove adapted to the sleeve is also provided on the side of the bearing groove near the center of the sleeve. A retaining groove adapted to the retaining ring is also provided in the receiving groove. The inner diameters of the support ring and the sleeve are consistent with the inner diameter of the sleeve. The end cap is also provided on the support ring protruding from the sleeve. The outer diameter of the end cap is consistent with the outer diameter of the sleeve.

[0010] A buffer element is also provided at the end of the end cap away from the sleeve body.

[0011] To facilitate the provision of cushioning protection, the present invention is improved in that the cushioning component includes a mounting base and a cushioning pad, with the cushioning pad disposed at the end of the mounting base away from the sleeve body.

[0012] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the buffer pad, this utility model is improved by having a T-shaped cross-section at the end of the mounting base, and a mounting groove adapted to the mounting base is provided below the buffer pad.

[0013] Preferably, the upper edge of the mounting base is provided with a first guide circle.

[0018] This ball bearing sleeve, based on an optimized ball bearing track inspection process, features a support ring, sleeve, retaining ring, and end cap that work together. The outer diameter of the end cap matches the outer diameter of the sleeve, effectively protecting the sleeve's end face. In practical use, when the ball bearing sleeve is subjected to external forces, the end cap can withstand the impact first, reducing the chance of the sleeve's end face directly contacting the outside environment and minimizing wear.

[0019] The reinforcing rings set on the outer side of the sleeve around the steel ball body can constrain the steel ball body, prevent the steel ball from shifting due to external vibration, collision and other factors, ensure the stability of the steel ball fixation, and thus improve the overall working performance of the steel ball sleeve.

[0020] The mounting base and cushioning pad design of the buffer component can cushion the impact when the ball bearing sleeve is subjected to an impact. The cushioning pad can absorb part of the impact force, reduce damage to the ball bearing sleeve, and extend its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A ball bearing sleeve based on optimized ball-and-socket track detection technology includes a sleeve body 1 and a ball bearing body 2. The sleeve body 1 has several sets of ball bearing bodies 2 embedded in it. It also includes:

[0028] The auxiliary components include a support ring 3, a sleeve 4, a retaining ring 5, and an end cap 6. The sleeve 4 is also provided below the support ring 3. A retaining ring 5 with an outer diameter smaller than that of the support ring 3 is provided on the outer side of the sleeve 4. The sleeve body 1 has symmetrically arranged bearing grooves that are adapted to the support ring 3 on both sides. A receiving groove adapted to the sleeve 4 is also provided on the side of the bearing groove near the center of the sleeve body 1. A retaining groove adapted to the retaining ring 5 is also provided in the receiving groove. The inner diameters of the support ring 3 and the sleeve 4 are the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve body 1. The support ring 3 protrudes from the sleeve body 1 and is also provided with the end cap 6. The outer diameter of the end cap 6 is the same as the outer diameter of the sleeve body 1.

[0029] The support ring 3 is embedded in the bearing grooves on both sides of the sleeve 1, the sleeve 4 is inserted into the receiving groove, and the retaining ring 5 is engaged in the retaining groove, thus achieving a stable connection between the auxiliary component and the sleeve 1. The end cap 6 protrudes from the sleeve 1 and its outer diameter is the same as that of the sleeve 1. During the use of the steel ball sleeve, when there is an external impact or contact with other objects, the end cap 6 will bear the impact first. Due to its protruding position, it will bear the force before the end face of the sleeve 1, dispersing most of the impact force and avoiding direct force on the end face of the sleeve 1, thereby reducing the wear degree of the end face of the sleeve 1 and protecting the structural integrity of the sleeve 1.

[0030] A buffer component is provided at the end of the end cap 6 away from the sleeve 1. The buffer component includes a mounting base 7 and a buffer pad 8. The buffer pad 8 is located at the end of the mounting base 7 away from the sleeve 1. The end of the mounting base 7 has a T-shaped cross-section when viewed from the front. A mounting groove adapted to the mounting base 7 is provided below the buffer pad 8. A first guide circle 9 is provided on the upper edge of the mounting base 7. When the ball sleeve is impacted, the buffer component functions. The mounting base 7 is fixed to the end of the end cap 6 away from the sleeve 1, and the buffer pad 8 is connected to the mounting base 7 through the mounting groove. The impact force first acts on the buffer pad 8. The buffer pad 8 has a certain elasticity and energy absorption characteristics, which can convert part of the impact force into its own deformation energy, reducing the force transmitted to other parts of the ball sleeve. The design of the first guide circle 9 on the upper edge of the mounting base 7 can avoid stress concentration on the buffer pad 8 or other components under the action of impact force, further ensuring the buffering effect and the service life of the components.

[0031] The reinforcing ring 10 located on the outer side of the sleeve 1, surrounding the steel ball body 2, constrains the steel ball body 2. During the operation of the steel ball sleeve, regardless of vibration, collision, or other external forces, the reinforcing ring 10 restricts the range of motion of the steel ball body 2. Since the steel ball body 2 protrudes from the center of the reinforcing ring 10, the reinforcing ring 10 constrains the steel ball from all sides, preventing the steel ball from shifting, shaking, or even falling off due to external forces. This ensures that the steel ball rolls stably within the ball-and-socket track, maintaining the normal working performance of the steel ball sleeve. The second rounded edge 11 ensures that the material can be stably aligned with the corresponding position of the sleeve 1 during assembly.
