Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of rod end spherical bearings, specifically an impact-resistant composite sealed rod end spherical bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Impact-resistant composite sealed rod end spherical plain bearings are a special type of rod end spherical plain bearing, mainly used in mechanical transmission parts that need to withstand impact loads and have high sealing performance requirements. Utilizing the spherical contact between the ball and the inner and outer rings, the bearing is allowed to swing and tilt within a certain angle range to adapt to loads in different directions and shaft misalignment. When subjected to impact loads, the fit between the bearing's ball and the inner and outer rings, as well as the material properties, can absorb and disperse the impact force. They are widely used in industries such as engineering hydraulic cylinders, forging presses, construction machinery, automation equipment, automotive shock absorbers, and hydraulic machinery.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 202420853897.1 discloses a user-friendly rod end joint bearing, comprising a rod body and a ball bearing. The ball bearing is rolledly connected to the inner wall of the rod body, and a lubrication groove is formed in the inner wall of the rod body. The inner wall of the rod body is provided with a lubrication mechanism for improving the flexibility of the ball bearing. The lubrication mechanism includes an oil box, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rod body. An acrylic plate is fixedly installed on the top of the oil box, and an oil injection pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the acrylic plate. A pipe cap is threaded to the outer wall of the oil injection pipe. By setting up an oil box in conjunction with a steel ball, it is convenient for workers to lubricate the ball bearing and to evenly apply lubricating oil to the surface of the ball bearing, thereby improving the lubrication effect of the ball bearing, avoiding wear between the ball bearing and the rod body, and thus increasing the service life of the ball bearing.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned rod end spherical plain bearing has the following shortcomings in actual use: According to the above structure, the oil box is a detachable structure. After each disassembly and assembly of the oil box, how to ensure the fit between the steel ball and the inner ring of the bearing is an important issue. If the steel ball cannot fit the inner ring of the bearing, it will be difficult to rotate and carry out the lubricating oil in the oil box.
[0005] Therefore, an impact-resistant composite sealed rod end spherical bearing is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an impact-resistant composite sealed rod end spherical bearing, which has the advantage of ensuring that the steel balls can fit against the outer wall of the inner ring of the bearing, so as to carry out the lubricating oil in the oil box and thus lubricate the bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer ring of the bearing is provided with a main oil guide groove, and the main oil guide groove is connected to a uniformly distributed oil guide branch groove.
[0013] Preferably, a limiting hole is provided on the oil box at a position corresponding to the steel ball, the steel ball is disposed in the limiting hole, and an oil drain groove is formed on the inner wall of the limiting hole.

[0030] The fitting assembly 5 includes a support plate 51 located above the oil box 3. A guide rod 52 passes through the support plate 51. A spring 53 is fitted on the guide rod 52 between the support plate 51 and the oil box 3. A baffle plate 54 is connected to the top of the guide rod 52. Fixing bolts 55 are provided at both ends of the support plate 51. The fixing bolts 55 are threaded to the outer ring 1 of the bearing to fix the support plate 51. The support plate 51 and the oil box 3 are connected by the spring 53. The spring 53 applies force to make the steel ball 4 on the oil box 3 continuously adhere to the outer wall of the inner ring 2 of the bearing, so that when the inner ring 2 of the bearing moves, it can drive the steel ball 4 to roll, so as to carry out the lubricating oil in the oil box 3, thereby lubricating the bearing.
[0031] Specifically, the outer ring 1 of the bearing is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 6, and the end of the connecting rod 6 is provided with a connecting end 7.
[0032] Furthermore, a lip seal 8 is provided on the inner wall of the outer ring 1 near the edge, and the outer wall of the inner ring 2 slides against the lip seal 8 to ensure the sealing between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2, preventing external dust from entering and internal lubricating oil from leaking out, which is beneficial to the use of the rod end spherical bearing.
[0033] Furthermore, a positioning groove 9 is provided on the outer ring 1 of the bearing at a position corresponding to the oil box 3, and the oil box 3 is located in the positioning groove 9.
[0034] It is worth noting that the inner wall of the outer ring 1 of the bearing is provided with an oil guiding main groove 10, and the oil guiding main groove 10 is connected to an evenly distributed oil guiding support groove 11.
[0035] It is worth noting that a limiting hole 12 is provided on the oil box 3 at the position corresponding to the steel ball 4. The steel ball 4 is placed in the limiting hole 12. An oil drain groove 13 is opened on the inner wall of the limiting hole 12. The vibration of the bearing during operation and the rolling of the steel ball drive more lubricating oil. The lubricating oil is transported to various parts of the outer wall of the inner ring 2 of the bearing by the main oil guide groove 10 and the oil guide support groove 11 to ensure the lubrication effect.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that the support plate 51 has a guide hole 14 that matches the guide rod 52, and a threaded connecting pipe 15 is fixed on the outer ring 1 of the bearing at the position corresponding to the fixing bolt 55.

[0038] Working principle and process: The support plate 51 is fixed, and the support plate 51 is connected to the oil box 3 by a spring 53. The spring 53 applies force to keep the steel ball 4 on the oil box 3 in continuous contact with the outer wall of the inner ring 2 of the bearing, so that the steel ball 4 can be driven to roll when the inner ring 2 of the bearing moves, so as to carry out the lubricating oil in the oil box 3, thereby lubricating the bearing. The oil drain groove 13 uses the vibration of the bearing during operation and the rolling of the steel ball 4 to drive more lubricating oil, and relies on the main oil guide groove 10 and the oil guide support groove 11 to deliver the lubricating oil to various parts of the outer wall of the inner ring 2 of the bearing to ensure the lubrication effect. The lip seal 8 ensures the sealing between the outer ring 1 of the bearing and the inner ring 2 of the bearing, preventing external dust from entering and preventing internal lubricating oil from leaking out, which is beneficial to the use of the rod end joint bearing.
