[0014] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0015] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a high-speed bar mill finishing mill rocker arm oil film bearing installation device includes a mill rocker arm 1, a shaft hole 2 on the mill rocker arm 1, a rotating shaft and an oil film bearing for installation in the shaft hole 2, and a connecting sleeve 3 detachably provided at the outer end of the shaft hole 2, which is coaxially arranged with the shaft hole 2. The inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the shaft hole 2. During installation, the oil film bearing can be placed in the connecting sleeve 3 and then inserted into the shaft hole 2 through the connecting sleeve 3. Specifically, the outer end of the shaft hole 2... A locking ring 4 is fixedly arranged coaxially with the shaft hole 2. The inner diameter of the locking ring 4 is the same as the inner diameter of the shaft hole 2. The end of the connecting sleeve 3 near the shaft hole 2 is provided with a locking step 5 that matches the locking ring 4. The locking ring 4 is located inside the locking step 5. The locking ring 4 and the locking step 5 can accurately install the connecting sleeve 3, ensuring that the connecting sleeve 3 is connected to the shaft hole 2 coaxially. The connecting sleeve 3 is provided with a pressing sleeve 6, which is clearance-fitted to the connecting sleeve 3 and can be connected... The connecting sleeve 3 moves axially, and external force is applied to the oil film bearing by pressing the sleeve 6, causing the oil film bearing to move into the shaft hole 2 within the connecting sleeve 3. Since the pressing sleeve 6 can apply external force evenly to the entire end of the oil film bearing, it ensures that it is not pressed off-center during installation. A limiting end plate 7 is fixed to the end of the pressing sleeve 6 away from the shaft hole 2. When the operator presses the sleeve 6 by hand, it can be done through the limiting end plate 7. The limiting end plate 7 is located outside the connecting sleeve, and its diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 3. When the limiting end plate 7 contacts the end of the connecting sleeve 3 away from the shaft hole 2, the connecting sleeve 3 presses the oil film bearing into the corresponding installation position within the shaft hole 2. The length of the pressing sleeve 6 is equal to the distance between the outer installation position of the oil film bearing in the shaft hole 2 and the end of the connecting sleeve 3 away from the shaft hole 2. During installation, the connecting sleeve 3 obstructs the view, preventing the operator from observing whether the oil film bearing is installed in the correct position. The limiting end plate 7 facilitates operation.

[0016] To ensure stable movement of the pressing sleeve 6 within the connecting sleeve 3 during installation and prevent rotation, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3 is provided with multiple guide grooves 8 along its circumference. In this embodiment, four guide grooves 8 are provided. The guide grooves 8 are arranged radially along the connecting sleeve 3, and the length of the guide groove 8 is less than the length of the connecting sleeve 3. The guide groove 8 is located near the end of the connecting sleeve 3 away from the shaft hole 2. The outer wall of the pressing sleeve 6 is provided with multiple guide strips 9 that correspond one-to-one with the guide grooves 8. The guide strips 9 are located on the side of the pressing sleeve 6 near the limiting end plate 7, and the length of the guide strips 9 is less than the length of the guide grooves 8. The guide strips 8 are located within the corresponding guide grooves 8 and can move within the guide grooves 8 along their length.

[0017] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0018] When installing the oil film bearing, first insert the oil film bearing 10 into the connecting sleeve 3 near the locking step 5. Then, install the connecting sleeve 3 at the shaft hole 2 of the rolling mill rocker arm 1, so that the locking ring 4 at the shaft hole 2 is located within the locking step 5 on the connecting sleeve 3, ensuring that the connecting sleeve 3 and the shaft hole 2 are coaxial. Then, process the pressing sleeve 6 and install it into the connecting sleeve 3, so that the pressing sleeve 6 abuts against the end of the oil film bearing 10. Finally, the operator presses the limiting end plate 7 by hand, causing the pressing sleeve 6 to move and apply external force to the oil film bearing 10. Under the action of the external force of the pressing sleeve 6, the oil film bearing 10 moves out of the pressing sleeve 6 and moves smoothly into the shaft hole 2. When the oil film bearing 10 moves to the installation position, the limiting end plate 7 contacts the end of the connecting sleeve 3 away from the shaft hole 2 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), the operator stops pressing and finally removes the connecting sleeve 3 to complete the installation. Using this device to install oil film bearings is efficient and quick, with good installation results and is less likely to injure the operator's hands.
