Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, specifically to a long-life ball bearing structure. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component in mechanical equipment, the performance of ball bearings directly affects the stability and service life of the equipment. After long-term use, traditional ball bearings often experience performance degradation or even failure due to wear, dust contamination, and other reasons. Therefore, designing a ball bearing structure that can effectively extend its service life has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of bearing technology.

[0003] A ball bearing structure, as described in CN215762842U, includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and steel balls installed between them. The inner ring has multiple transverse oil supply channels connected to longitudinal oil supply channels. The ports of the longitudinal oil supply channels are close to the surface of the steel balls and are filled with sponge. The ports of the transverse oil supply channels are located on the walls on both sides of the inner ring. After the sealing rings are installed, lubricating oil is injected into the transverse oil supply channels. The lubricating oil flows through the longitudinal oil supply channels to the steel balls, providing initial lubrication. After injection, the sponge at the end of the longitudinal oil supply channels stores the lubricating oil. During high-speed rotation of the steel balls, the stored lubricating oil provides real-time lubrication and cooling. While this ball bearing structure can be well applied, it typically relies solely on dust baffles to protect the ball components from both sides, leaving the outer and inner rings exposed to the external environment and susceptible to dust corrosion and damage. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a long-life ball bearing structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that although the ball bearing structure can be well applied, it usually only relies on dust baffles to shield and protect the ball components from both sides, leaving the outer and inner rings of the bearing still exposed to the external environment, thus making them susceptible to dust corrosion and damage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a long-life ball bearing structure, comprising an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring on the inner side of the outer bearing ring, a plurality of ball bodies movably disposed between the outer bearing ring and the inner bearing ring, a retainer mounted on the outer wall of the plurality of ball bodies, a first protective housing on one side of the outer bearing ring, the inner wall of the first protective housing contacting the outer wall of the outer bearing ring, a second protective housing on the side of the outer bearing ring away from the first protective housing, the inner wall of the second protective housing contacting the outer wall of the outer bearing ring, and the inner wall of the second protective housing contacting the inner wall of the first protective housing, a plurality of locking nuts on the outer wall of the second protective housing away from the first protective housing, and a locking bolt mounted on the outer wall of the first protective housing away from the second protective housing, one end of the locking bolt passing through the first protective housing and the second protective housing in sequence and threadedly connected to the locking nuts.
