Specific implementation
[0030] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0031] Embodiment one:
[0032] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the utility model embodiment one provides a kind of automobile clutch release bearing, including outer cylinder 1, inner cylinder 2, multiple rolling body 3, limit shell 4 and lubricating mechanism. Wherein the inner wall of outer cylinder 1 is ladder-shaped, and first recess is set on the inner wall with larger diameter thereof. Inner cylinder 2 is inserted into outer cylinder 1, and one end of inner cylinder 2 extends outside outer cylinder 1, and the other end is located in outer cylinder 1. In this way, when the yoke of differential mechanism is resisted on outer cylinder 1, it does not contact with inner cylinder 2. Convex ring 17 is provided on the outer wall of inner cylinder 2, and second recess is set on convex ring 17. Multiple rolling body 3 is installed between first recess and second recess and rolls, so that relative rolling between inner cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 1 can be realized.
[0033] As Figure 4As shown, the limiting shell 4 covers the outside of the outer cylinder 1. The shape of the limiting shell 4 is adapted to the shape of the outer cylinder 1, and the limiting shell 4 can tightly wrap around the circumferential surface of the outer cylinder 1, thereby firmly fixing it to the outer cylinder 1. The limiting shell 4 is also provided with a limiting part, which can abut against one side of the inner cylinder 2, restricting the inner cylinder 2 within the outer cylinder 1. This ensures the relative position stability between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, prevents excessive axial or radial displacement of the inner cylinder 2 within the outer cylinder 1, and improves the reliability and service life of the bearing.
[0034] The lubrication mechanism of this invention includes an oil injection hole 5 and two sealing rings 6. The two sealing rings 6 are positioned between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, respectively on both sides of the rolling element 3. The two sealing rings 6, together with the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, form an oil storage cavity, effectively preventing lubricating oil leakage and the entry of external impurities into the bearing, maintaining the cleanliness of the bearing interior and the performance of the lubricating oil. The two sealing rings 6 are respectively fitted onto the inner cylinder 2 at both ends of the convex ring 17. The outer cylinder 1, in conjunction with the convex ring 17, abuts against one of the sealing rings 6, and the limiting shell 4, in conjunction with the convex ring 17, abuts against the other sealing ring 6, further enhancing the sealing effect. The oil injection hole 5 is located on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1 and passes through the limiting shell 4. The oil injection hole 5 communicates with the oil storage cavity between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1, allowing lubricating oil to be conveniently injected into the oil storage cavity, providing good lubrication conditions for the rolling element 3, reducing friction during movement, reducing wear, and improving the bearing's operating efficiency and lifespan.
[0035] To prevent impurities from entering the oil storage chamber through the oil filling hole 5, a plug 7 is installed on the oil filling hole 5. During oil filling, the plug 7 can be manually pressed to allow lubricating oil to enter the cavity between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1 through the oil filling hole 5. When the plug 7 is not pressed, it seals the oil filling hole 5 under its own elasticity, preventing lubricating oil leakage.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model further optimizes the lubrication mechanism. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a step 8 is provided inside the oil filling hole 5, and a hollow cylinder 9 is threadedly installed inside the oil filling hole 5. A protruding edge 10 is fixed to the end of the cylinder 9 away from the inner cylinder 2, and a sealing gasket 11 is fitted on the cylinder 9 between the protruding edge 10 and the step 8. By threading the cylinder 9 into the oil filling hole 5 and using the sealing gasket 11 to seal the gap between the cylinder 9 and the inner wall of the oil filling hole 5, lubricating oil can only pass through the hollow part of the cylinder 9, providing conditions for the installation of the plug 7.
[0038] The plug 7 is slidably installed inside the cylinder 9, and the axial length of the plug 7 is greater than the axial length of the cylinder 9. Both ends of the plug 7 extend outwards from the upper and lower ends of the cylinder 9, respectively. The top of the plug 7 has an outwardly flanged edge 12, and the bottom has an inner plug plate 13 for sealing the cylinder 9. The plug 7 has an axially oriented oil inlet channel 15, and a transverse oil outlet 16 is located at the end of the oil inlet channel 15 near the inner dial. The diameter of the inner plug plate 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the hollow portion of the cylinder 9, so that the cylinder 9 is sealed when the inner plug plate 13 abuts against the bottom of the cylinder 9. When the inner plug plate 13 moves downwards, it disengages from the lower end of the cylinder 9, allowing the oil outlet 16 to connect with the oil storage chamber. At this time, lubricating oil can be injected into the oil inlet channel 15, and the lubricating oil can enter the oil storage chamber.
[0039] Example 3:
[0040] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, this utility model, in order to make the oil filling operation more convenient, provides a spring 14 fitted on the plug 7 between the outer flange 12 and the convex edge 10. For example... Figure 6 As shown, during oil filling, pressing down on the plug 7 compresses the spring 14, causing the plug 7 to slide downwards and the inner plug plate 13 to move away from the oil outlet 16. Lubricating oil can then be smoothly injected into the oil storage chamber between the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1 through the cylinder 9, the oil filling channel 15 inside the plug 7, and the oil outlet 16. When the plug 7 is not pressed down, the spring 14 returns to its original position and lifts the plug 7, causing the inner plug plate 13 to press against the bottom of the cylinder 9 again, isolating the oil outlet 16 from the oil storage chamber, preventing lubricating oil leakage, and improving the convenience of oil filling.
[0041] To improve the smoothness of the rotation of the rolling elements 3, this invention adds a cage 18. The cage 18 is located inside the oil reservoir and covers the sides of the rolling elements 3, maintaining the distance between the rolling elements 3 and ensuring that the rolling elements 3 will not collide or squeeze each other during operation, thereby improving the service life of the bearing.
[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
