Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, and in particular to an oil-lubricated bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Oil-lubricated bearings are a type of bearing in which lubricating oil is injected into the bearing through an oiler or other means to achieve bearing lubrication and reduce friction. This lubrication method has a significant impact on the bearing's operating performance and lifespan.
[0003] Currently, existing oil-lubricated bearings often require disassembly during maintenance, making it impossible to easily replenish lubricating oil without disassembly. This results in both time-consuming and costly operations, and is also detrimental to the continuous and efficient operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the inability to conveniently replenish lubricating oil without disassembly, which leads to time-consuming and costly operations and hinders the continuous and efficient operation of equipment. Therefore, this invention proposes an oil-lubricated bearing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An oil-lubricated bearing, comprising:
[0007] The bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a cage, rolling elements, and a sealing cap. Grooves for rolling elements are provided on the inner side of the outer ring and the outer side of the inner ring.
[0008] The lubrication assembly is located on the inner ring of the bearing and is used to lubricate the bearing after installation.
[0009] In one possible design, the oil injection assembly includes four fan-shaped flared holes on one side of the bearing inner ring. Each of the four flared holes is threaded with a countersunk bolt. A sealing ring is fitted on the outside of each countersunk bolt. A cross-shaped groove is formed on one side of each countersunk bolt. The bearing inner ring is located inside the groove and has four oil outlet holes in a fan shape. Each of the four oil outlet holes is connected to one of the four flared holes.
[0010] In one possible design, the outer ring of the cage has a plurality of evenly distributed placement slots, and a plurality of rolling elements are provided, each of which is rotatably disposed within one of the plurality of placement slots of the cage.
[0011] In one possible design, the outer ring of the cage has oil passages.
[0012] In one possible design, the outer rings of the cage and rolling elements are located within a groove in the outer ring of the bearing, and the inner rings of the cage and rolling elements are located within a groove in the inner ring of the bearing.
[0013] In one possible design, two sealing covers are provided, one on each side of the outer ring and the other on the inner ring of the bearing, respectively covering the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring.
[0014] In this application, upon initial use, all components of the bearing are first cleaned to ensure they are free of impurities and oil. Simultaneously, the mating surfaces of each component are checked for smoothness to ensure good sealing and lubrication. Then, multiple rolling elements are placed one by one into the cage's placement slot, ensuring the rolling elements can rotate freely without falling off. At the same time, the oil passages of the cage are ensured to be unobstructed and free from obvious damage or foreign matter accumulation to allow for lubricant flow. Next, the assembly containing the rolling elements and cage is placed into the groove of the bearing's outer ring, ensuring that the inner rings of the cage and rolling elements are also located within the grooves of the bearing's inner ring, achieving precise alignment of the inner and outer rings. Sealing caps are installed on both sides of the bearing's outer and inner rings, ensuring the sealing caps are embedded in the gap to prevent lubricant leakage from the gap between the bearing's outer and inner rings.
[0015] Next, select a suitable lubricant for the bearing and ensure it is clean and uncontaminated. Then, inject the lubricant through the flared hole on the inner ring of the bearing. First, use a special tool (such as a screwdriver) to loosen the countersunk bolt and inject an appropriate amount of lubricant into the bearing through the flared hole. Since the flared hole is connected to the oil outlet, the lubricant can enter the rolling elements inside the bearing. The lubricant injected into the bearing flows into the oil passage through the gap between the cage and the rolling elements, and then is evenly distributed to each rolling element inside the bearing for lubrication. After the lubrication is completed, quickly tighten the countersunk bolt and ensure that the sealing ring is intact to prevent the lubricant from leaking out. Then, gently rotate the bearing to check whether the rolling elements run smoothly and whether there is any abnormal noise or vibration.
[0016] After the bearing is installed on the mechanical equipment and has been used for a period of time, when it is necessary to add lubricating oil to the inside of the bearing, you can use a special tool (such as a screwdriver) to unscrew the countersunk bolts and then inject an appropriate amount of lubricating oil into the bearing through the flared hole. There is no need to disassemble the bearing to add oil.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This invention, through the setting of the oil injection component, allows for easy replenishment of lubricating oil inside the bearing after installation and use. This can be achieved by using a special tool (such as a screwdriver) to unscrew the countersunk bolts and then injecting an appropriate amount of lubricating oil into the bearing through the flared hole. This eliminates the need to disassemble the bearing, making it easy to replenish the lubricating oil inside the bearing, thereby saving maintenance time and costs and improving the operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0019] In this invention, by setting up oil outlet holes and oil channels, lubricating oil is injected through the horn hole and then dispersed through the oil channels, so that it can be evenly distributed on each rolling element, achieving comprehensive and effective lubrication, reducing friction and wear, and extending the service life of the bearing.
[0020] This invention, through the design of the oil injection component, allows for easy replenishment of lubricating oil inside the bearing after installation and during use, without the need to disassemble the entire bearing. This saves maintenance time and costs and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment. Attached Figure Description
