Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a tapered roller bearing includes an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, a cage 3, and multiple tapered rollers 4. The inner ring 2 is disposed inside the outer ring 1, and the cage 3 is disposed between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The multiple tapered rollers 4 are respectively disposed on the cage 3. An annular protective cover 5 is disposed on the cage 3 corresponding to the space between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The annular protective cover 5 covers the cage 3 and the multiple tapered rollers 4, and a protective cavity 100 is formed between the annular protective cover 5, the outer ring 1, and the inner ring 2. By adding the annular protective cover, dust can be prevented from entering between the outer ring and the inner ring, which is beneficial to improving the protective performance of the tapered roller bearing. A sealing groove 11 is provided inside the outer ring 1 below the cage 3 and the multiple tapered rollers 4. A sealing ring 12 that seals with the shaft is disposed in the sealing groove 11. The sealing ring that seals with the shaft inside the outer ring can prevent impurities from entering between the outer ring and the inner ring along the shaft, thereby improving the working reliability of the tapered roller bearing. The annular protective cover 5 has an annular groove 51 that mates with the retainer 3. The upper end of the retainer 3 has a protruding ring portion 31 that mates with the annular groove 51. The protruding ring portion 31 engages within the annular groove 51, forming a snap-fit connection between the retainer 3 and the annular protective cover 5. The annular protective cover and the retainer are assembled using a snap-fit method, which facilitates the assembly of the annular protective cover and the retainer and improves assembly efficiency.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the annular protective cover 5 has a first bend 52 on its outer periphery that covers the outer ring 1. This first bend prevents dust from entering the bearing along the outer ring, thus improving protective performance. The annular protective cover 5 has a second bend 53 on its inner periphery that covers the inner ring 2. This second bend prevents dust from entering the bearing along the inner ring, thus improving protective performance. Multiple tapered rollers 4 each have a circular groove 41 at their upper ends. These circular grooves can hold more lubricating oil or grease, forming an oil film and reducing dry friction between the upper ends of the tapered rollers and the cage.
[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the cage 3 has multiple positioning holes 32 arranged in a circular array, and multiple tapered rollers 4 are respectively disposed within the multiple positioning holes 32. The placement of the tapered rollers within the positioning holes of the cage facilitates the assembly of the multiple tapered rollers with the cage, resulting in higher assembly efficiency. The lower end of the cage 3 has an annular flange 33 extending inwards, forming an oil reservoir 300 between the annular flange 33 and the multiple tapered rollers 4. The annular flange enhances the overall strength of the cage, and the oil reservoir can store grease, extending the lubrication cycle and reducing wear and heat generation.
[0029] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring 2 is provided with an annular positioning groove 21 that mates with multiple tapered rollers 4, with one side of the multiple tapered rollers 4 positioned within the annular positioning groove 21. The annular positioning groove of the inner ring positions the multiple tapered rollers, thereby ensuring reliable rotation of the multiple tapered rollers between the outer and inner rings, which helps to improve the working reliability of the tapered roller bearing.
[0030] The above description is only one embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model; the scope of protection of the present utility model is defined by the claims in the claims, and all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the utility model are within the scope of protection of the present utility model patent.
