AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the assembly process of existing large tapered roller bearings, indentations are easily formed when the upper die presses against the upper end face of the cage, which increases the internal stress of the cage, reduces its service life, and affects the bearing quality.

Method used

The upper mold structure consists of a nylon inner ring and a steel outer ring. The nylon inner ring serves as the working part, while the steel outer ring provides support to prevent indentations. Uniform shrinkage is achieved through the frustoconical cavity of the lower shrink mold, forming an inseparable inner component.

Benefits of technology

It eliminates indentations on the cage end face, improves the overall lifespan of the cage and bearing, and enhances the quality of the bearing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0018] As Figure 1 ,Figure 2 The utility model provides a large -scale tapered roller bearing cage shrinkage mould, including upper compression mould 2 and lower shrinkage mould 1, the contraction cavity of lower shrinkage mould 1 is the taper platform cavity of big down small, upper compression mould 2 includes nylon inner ring 6 and steel outer ring 10, and nylon inner ring 6 is made of annular flat plate 7, inner compression ring 8 and external ring 9, and annular flat plate 7 upper end surface connects upper mould pressing head 11, and inner compression ring 8 is integrally fixedly connected at the lower end hole mouth outside of annular flat plate 7 inner hole, and external ring 9 is integrally fixedly connected at the lower end surface circumference of annular flat plate 7, wherein, the inside diameter of inner compression ring 8, the outside diameter are consistent with the big end of the pressed cage 3, steel outer ring 10 is fixedly covered in the outside of external ring 9, lower shrinkage mould 1 is set in the below of upper compression mould 2, the side wall lower end of the inner hole of steel outer ring 10 has annular baffle, and the upper end surface of annular baffle covers the lower end surface of external ring 9, and is integrally connected with the lower end surface of external ring 9.

[0019] In the above structure, the inner compression ring 8 is the working part of the upper compression mould 2, which is made of nylon material to avoid indentation during the pressing of the cage. However, the ring body made of nylon material is prone to deformation and size change over time. Therefore, the upper compression mould 2 is designed as a whole with a nylon inner ring 6 and a steel outer ring 10. The nylon inner ring 6 is designed in three parts. The double-ring structure of the external ring 9 and the inner compression ring 8 ensures the overall structural strength. The steel outer ring 10 is fixedly covered outside and at the lower end of the external ring 9. The annular flat plate 7 is connected to the upper mould pressing head, which can be used with a press machine or directly by hand. When used by hand, the pressure should be directly applied to the steel outer ring 10 to avoid damaging the nylon inner ring 6.

[0020] Specifically, when assembling the tapered roller bearing inner assembly, the cage 3 filled with tapered rollers 4 is placed into the upper part of the contraction cavity of the lower shrinkage mould 4, and then the bearing inner ring 5 is placed downward. The lower end of the bearing inner ring 5 passes over the lower end of the tapered roller 4, and the tapered roller 4 enters the raceway. The inner compression ring 8 of the upper compression mould 2 is aligned with the large end surface of the cage 3. Under the external force of the press machine, the inner compression ring 8 forces the cage 3 to move downward along the contraction cavity of the lower shrinkage mould 4, and the force is evenly distributed. Due to the effect of the contraction cavity, the cage 3 produces plastic deformation, and the divided window beams uniformly shrink inward, making the cage 3, the bearing inner ring 5, and the tapered roller 4 become an inseparable inner assembly.

[0021] The upper end surface of the steel outer ring 10 is flush with the upper end surface of the annular flat plate 7.

[0022] The height of the inner compression ring 8 is greater than the height of the external ring 9.

[0023] The lower end surface of the inner compression ring 8 has rounded corners on both sides, and the radius R of the rounded corners is greater than or equal to 5mm.

[0024] The parts not detailed in the utility model are prior art.
