[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Appendix Fig. 1 In this embodiment, the anti-fouling structure of the spherical plain bearing includes a spherical plain bearing 100, which includes an inner ring 101 and an outer ring 102. The inner ring 101 is rotatably connected inside the bearing. The structure also includes an earring 200 and a pressure plate 300. The earring 200 has a through hole and houses the spherical plain bearing 100. The pressure plate 300 is fixedly connected to both ends of the earring 200 and fixes the spherical plain bearing 100 within the through hole of the earring 200. A dustproof ring 400 is provided between the pressure plate 300 and the spherical plain bearing 100. The pressure plate 300 is fixedly connected to the earring 200 by screws 500.
[0029] In this embodiment, the spherical plain bearing 100 is an integral bearing with an outer ring 102. Both the outer surface of the inner ring 101 and the outer surface of the outer ring 102 are provided with oil reservoirs 103. The inner ring 101 has a through hole for the rod-shaped assembly and an oil reservoir 103 on its inner wall. Its outer surface is spherical. The outer ring 102 is fitted onto the outer surface of the inner ring 101, and the two are rotatably fitted together. The thickness of the outer ring 102 is less than the thickness of the inner ring 101.
[0030] In this embodiment, the earring 200 has a ring-shaped structure and serves as a substitute for the outer ring 102 of the rod end spherical bearing 100. The two end faces of the earring 200 are parallel, and its through-hole is vertically opened on the end face. The spherical bearing 100 is placed inside the through-hole of the earring 200, wherein the outer surface of the bearing outer ring 102 transitions with the inner surface of the through-hole of the earring 200. A pressure plate 300 is fastened to each of the two ends of the through-hole of the earring 200, and the pressure plate 300 is fixed to the end face of the earring 200 by screws 500. This arrangement facilitates disassembly. The two pressure plates 300 confine the spherical bearing 100 within the through-hole of the earring 200, and a dustproof ring 400 is provided between the pressure plate 300 and the spherical bearing 100. The dustproof ring 400 prevents dust and dirt from entering the mating surface between the inner ring 101 and the outer ring 102 of the bearing, as well as the mating surface between the outer ring 102 and the earring 200.
[0031] Reference Appendix Fig. 1 and 2The pressing plate 300 has a stepped through hole 301 with a first contact surface 303 and a positioning protrusion 302 which is embedded in the through hole of the earring 200. The first contact surface 303 is L-shaped. The positioning protrusion 302 of the pressing plate 300 is arranged at the opening of the larger inner diameter end of the stepped through hole 301, and the outer diameter size of the positioning protrusion 302 corresponds to the inner diameter size of the earring 200, thereby playing a positioning role when the pressing plate 300 is connected with the earring 200. In addition, after the two pressing plates 300 are fixedly connected with the earring 200, the positioning protrusions 302 of the two pressing plates 300 respectively abut against the upper and lower end faces of the bearing outer ring 102, thereby playing a positioning and fixing role on the joint bearing 100. The first contact surface 303 is a matching surface formed by the stepped through hole 301, and in this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the first contact surface 303 is L-shaped. Due to the positional relationship between the positioning protrusion 302 and the first contact surface 303, the L-shaped structure can avoid metal fatigue caused by repeated disassembly when the pressing plate 300 is made of metal. At the same time, the processing of the pressing plate 300 is also easier.
[0032] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 and 3 The dustproof ring 400 is arranged in the stepped through hole 301 and forms a first sealing surface 304 with the first contact surface 303. The dustproof ring 400 has a second contact surface 401 which forms a second sealing surface 402 with the outer side surface of the bearing inner ring 101. In this embodiment, the dustproof ring 400 is improved on the basis of the conventional dustproof ring 400, and the dustproof ring 400 with the second contact surface 401 is processed. After assembly, the dustproof ring 400 is located in the stepped through hole 301 and cooperates with the first contact surface 303. The larger end face of the dustproof ring 400 faces the stepped through hole 301, and the dustproof ring 400 cooperates with the first contact surface 303 to form the first sealing surface 304. The horizontal surface of the first contact surface 303 cooperates with the larger end face of the dustproof ring 400, and the vertical circumferential surface of the first contact surface 303 cooperates with the outer circumferential surface of the dustproof ring 400, thereby forming two sealing surfaces to further prevent dust from entering.
[0033] The second contact surface 401 is a spherical surface which cooperates with the outer surface of the bearing inner ring 101. The dustproof ring 400 abuts against the bearing outer ring 102. After assembly, the second contact surface 401 of the dustproof ring 400 cooperates with the spherical outer side surface of the bearing inner ring 101 to form the second sealing surface 402, and the smaller end face of the dustproof ring 400 elastically abuts against the end face of the bearing outer ring 102 to form a seal. In combination with the effect of the first sealing surface 304, the dustproof ring 400 can effectively prevent dust from entering the cooperation surface between the bearing inner ring 101 and the bearing outer ring 102 and the cooperation surface between the bearing outer ring 102 and the earring 200.
[0034] It should be noted that the thickness of the dustproof ring 400 needs to correspond to the vertical size of the first contact surface 303. Since the dustproof ring 400 is made of elastic material, its actual thickness can be equal to or slightly larger than the vertical size of the first contact surface 303. In this way, it can be ensured that after assembly is completed, the dustproof ring 400 is in close contact with the first contact surface 303, and the first sealing surface 304 will not fail.
[0035] The inner diameter of the stepped through hole 301 is larger than the inner diameter of the dustproof ring 400. The dustproof ring 400 is provided with a reserved surface 403 on the surface where the second contact surface 401 is located, and the reserved surface 403 forms a reserved space 404 with the outer surface of the bearing inner ring 101. The inner diameter of the stepped through hole 301 is larger than the inner diameter of the dustproof ring 400, which avoids the rod passing through the bearing inner ring 101 from rubbing and rubbing with the stepped through hole 301 when it is tilted, causing damage between the two parts. At the same time, the reserved surface 403 is processed on the second contact surface 401 of the dustproof ring 400, which improves the tilting angle range of the rod passing through the bearing inner ring 101, and avoids the rod from being pressed at the corner of the sealing ring when it is tilted, causing the second sealing surface 402 to fail.

The pressing plate 300 is fixedly connected with the ear ring 200 through a screw 500.
[0038] In this embodiment, the joint bearing 100 is a double-seam bearing outer ring 102 joint bearing 100, and the bearing outer ring 102 is composed of two 1 / 2 circular bearing outer rings 102. The outer side surface of the bearing inner ring 101 and the outer side surface of the bearing outer ring 102 are both provided with oil storage grooves 103.

The bearing outer ring 102 is sleeved on the outer side surface of the bearing inner ring 101 and rotatably connected with each other. The thickness of the bearing outer ring 102 is less than the thickness of the bearing inner ring 101.
[0039] In this embodiment, the earring 200 is in a ring structure. The two end faces of the earring 200 are parallel, and the through hole is vertically provided on the end face. The joint bearing 100 is arranged in the through hole of the earring 200, and the outer side face of the bearing outer ring 102 is in transition fit with the inner side face of the through hole of the earring 200. A pressing plate 300 is buckled at each port of the through hole of the earring 200, and the pressing plate 300 is fixed to the end face of the earring 200 by a screw 500. The advantage of this arrangement is that it is convenient for disassembly. The two pressing plates 300 limit the joint bearing 100 in the through hole of the earring 200, and a dustproof ring 400 is arranged between the pressing plate 300 and the joint bearing 100. The dustproof ring 400 is used to prevent dust from entering the fit faces between the bearing inner ring 101 and the bearing outer ring 102, and between the bearing outer ring 102 and the earring 200.
[0040] The pressing plate 300 has a stepped through hole 301 and a positioning protrusion 302. The stepped through hole 301 has a first contact face 303, and the positioning protrusion 302 is embedded in the through hole of the earring 200. The first contact face 303 is in L shape. The positioning protrusion 302 of the pressing plate 300 is arranged at the opening of the larger inner diameter end of the stepped through hole 301, and the outer diameter size of the positioning protrusion 302 corresponds to the inner diameter size of the earring 200, which plays a positioning role when the pressing plate 300 is connected with the earring 200. In addition, after the fixed connection of the two pressing plates 300 and the earring 200 is completed, the positioning protrusions 302 of the two pressing plates 300 abut against the upper and lower end faces of the bearing outer ring 102, respectively, which plays a positioning and fixing role for the joint bearing 100.

Due to the positional relationship between the positioning protrusion 302 and the first contact face 303, the structural feature of L shape can avoid metal fatigue caused by repeated disassembly when the pressing plate 300 is made of metal. At the same time, the processing of the pressing plate 300 is also easier.
[0041] The dustproof ring 400 is arranged in the stepped through hole 301 and forms a first sealing surface 304 with the first contact face 303. The dustproof ring 400 has a second contact face 401, and the second contact face 401 forms a second sealing surface 402 with the outer side face of the bearing inner ring 101. In this embodiment, the dustproof ring 400 is improved on the basis of the conventional dustproof ring 400, and the dustproof ring 400 with the second contact face 401 is processed. After assembly is completed, the dustproof ring 400 is located in the stepped through hole 301 and cooperates with the first contact face 303. The larger area end face of the dustproof ring 400 faces the stepped through hole 301, and the dustproof ring 400 cooperates with the first contact face 303 to form the first sealing surface 304. The horizontal face of the first contact face 303 cooperates with the larger area end face of the dustproof ring 400, and the vertical circumferential face of the first contact face 303 cooperates with the outer side circumferential face of the dustproof ring 400 to form two sealing surfaces, which further avoids dust intrusion.
