Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil-free bushing technology, and in particular to a flange-type oil-free bushing. Background Technology
[0002] Oil-free bushings, as a type of self-lubricating bearing, have significant advantages in actual operation. They do not require additional lubricating oil and can achieve excellent lubrication results solely through the solid lubricant they contain.
[0003] In the installation process, existing oil-free bushings are typically press-fitted into the mounting sleeve using a tight fit method. Furthermore, grooves are machined into the inner holes on both sides of the mounting sleeve for installing O-rings. Generally, the oil-free bushing relies primarily on the tight fit to achieve a secure connection with the mounting sleeve, while the retaining rings serve to assist in securing the bushing.
[0004] However, when used vertically or under heavy loads, the retaining ring is prone to deformation due to overload. Once the retaining ring deforms, it is highly likely that the retaining ring and the oil-free bushing will come out of the mounting sleeve, thus affecting the normal operation of the entire device. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a flange-type oil-free bushing.
[0006] An oil-free flange bushing includes a flange, a mounting sleeve, an oil-free bushing, a clamping cap, and locking screws. The mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to the flange, and the oil-free bushing is installed inside the mounting sleeve. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the flange. The diameter of the circular hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the oil-free bushing and larger than the inner diameter of the oil-free bushing. A clamping cap is provided on the right side of the mounting sleeve, and four locking screws are arranged circumferentially on the clamping cap.
[0007] Optionally, the flange and the mounting sleeve are integrally formed.
[0008] Optionally, the oil-free bushing and the mounting sleeve are installed using an interference fit.
[0009] Optionally, the clamping cap is detachably connected to the mounting sleeve via four locking screws.
[0010] Optionally, it also includes sealing rings, with two sealing rings spaced apart inside the mounting cylinder, the two sealing rings being located on the left and right sides of the oil-free bushing, respectively.
[0011] Optionally, the sealing ring is made of elastic rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good elasticity and wear resistance and can fit tightly against the inner wall of the mounting cylinder.
[0012] Optionally, the locking screw is an internal hex screw, which is tightened and loosened using an internal hex wrench.
[0013] Optionally, the flange, mounting sleeve, and clamping cap are all made of high-strength metal materials, possessing sufficient strength and rigidity.
[0014] Optionally, the outer wall of the mounting cylinder is treated with a friction coating.
[0015] Optionally, the inner wall of the oil-free bushing (2) is polished to achieve a surface roughness of Ra0.8 or less.
[0016] This utility model has the following advantages: By first installing a sealing ring inside the mounting cylinder, then tightly fitting and installing the oil-free bushing, then installing another sealing ring, and finally installing the pressure cap and fixing it with locking screws, the oil-free bushing is fixed on both sides. In this way, the oil-free bushing will not come out under vertical or heavy load conditions, and the sealing ring can provide a buffer for axial impact and prevent dust from entering the oil-free bushing from both sides, avoiding damage to it, thus improving the stability and reliability of the oil-free bushing.

[0021] References to embodiments herein mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] Example: A flange-type oil-free bushing, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a flange 001, a mounting cylinder 1, an oil-free bushing 2, a clamping cap 3, and locking screws 4. The mounting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the flange 001. The oil-free bushing 2 is installed inside the mounting cylinder 1. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the flange 001. The diameter of the circular hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the oil-free bushing 2 and larger than the inner diameter of the oil-free bushing 2. The clamping cap 3 is provided on the right side of the mounting cylinder 1. Four locking screws 4 are arranged circumferentially on the clamping cap 3. Four threaded holes are opened circumferentially on the right side of the mounting cylinder 1. The four locking screws 4 can be screwed into the four threaded holes respectively.
[0023] The flange 001 and the mounting cylinder 1 are integrally formed, ensuring the stability of their connection and providing a reliable mounting base for the oil-free bushing 2.
[0024] The oil-free bushing 2 is installed with the mounting cylinder 1 by an interference fit, which ensures that the oil-free bushing 2 is circumferentially fixed in the mounting cylinder 1, prevents it from rotating during operation, and improves the working stability of the oil-free bushing.
[0025] The clamping cap 3 is detachably connected to the mounting cylinder 1 by four locking screws 4. This detachable structure facilitates the installation, removal and maintenance of the oil-free bushing 2.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a sealing ring 5. Two sealing rings 5 are arranged at intervals inside the mounting cylinder 1. The two sealing rings 5 are located on the left and right sides of the oil-free bushing 2, respectively. The sealing rings 5 are used to seal the gap between the oil-free bushing 2 and the mounting cylinder 1 to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering.
[0027] The sealing ring 5 is made of elastic rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good elasticity and wear resistance. It can fit tightly against the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 1, effectively preventing impurities from entering. It can also adapt to the slight deformation of the oil-free bushing 2 during operation, maintaining a stable sealing effect.
[0028] The locking screw 4 is an internal hex screw, which is tightened and loosened using an internal hex wrench. This facilitates installation and disassembly in a limited space, and the tightening torque is controllable, ensuring the reliability of the connection.
[0029] The flange 001, the mounting cylinder 1, and the clamping cover 3 are all made of high-strength metal materials, with sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the load and impact during operation, ensuring the normal operation of the entire device.
[0030] The outer wall of the mounting cylinder 1 is treated with friction to facilitate the handling of the mounting cylinder 1 by the staff.
[0031] The inner wall of the oil-free bushing 2 is polished to a surface roughness of Ra0.8 or less, in order to reduce the coefficient of friction with the mounting components.
[0032] Working principle: First, the operator installs one of the sealing rings 5 into the interior of the mounting cylinder 1. Since the diameter of the circular hole in the middle of the flange 001 is smaller than the outer diameter of the oil-free bushing 2 but larger than its inner diameter, and the inner and outer diameters of the sealing ring 5 are the same as those of the oil-free bushing 2, this prevents the sealing ring 5 from falling out from one side of the flange 001 during installation. The operator then tightly installs the oil-free bushing 2 into the interior of the mounting cylinder 1, and then installs the other sealing ring 5 from both sides. After blocking the oil-free bushing 2, the clamping cover 3 is finally installed from the right side of the mounting cylinder and fixed with the locking screw 4 to complete the installation. The oil-free bushing 2 is now fixed on both sides. The oil-free bushing 2 is not only fixed by tight fitting with the mounting cylinder 1. Under vertical use or heavy load conditions, the oil-free bushing 2 will not come off. At the same time, the sealing ring 5 not only provides a certain buffering effect for the axial impact of the oil-free bushing 2, but also prevents dust from entering the oil-free bushing 2 from both sides, avoiding damage to the oil-free bushing 2.
