Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically relating to a thin oil sealing and waterproofing device for bearing housings. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, bearings are key components of mechanical equipment, and their operating condition directly affects the performance and lifespan of the equipment. For bearings operating in humid, wet, or flushing environments, such as papermaking machinery, mining equipment, and food processing machinery, the sealing and waterproofing performance of the bearing housing and the reliability of the lubrication system are of paramount importance.
[0003] In existing technologies, common structures such as oil seals and labyrinth seals are prone to sealing failure when faced with high-pressure flushing or high-humidity environments. This allows water and impurities to enter the bearing housing, contaminate the lubricating oil, and accelerate bearing wear. Although thin oil lubrication can provide good lubrication and heat dissipation, traditional systems lack effective waterproof design. Once water enters, it will emulsify the lubricating oil, reduce lubrication performance, and even cause bearing corrosion and seizure. After seal failure, frequent replacement of lubricating oil and seals is required, increasing downtime and maintenance costs, affecting production efficiency. Lubricating oil leakage may pollute the environment, and the treatment of water-containing lubricating oil also faces environmental pressure. Utility Model Content

The groove depth of the two W-shaped oil grooves is 2-5mm, the groove width is 5-10mm, and they are both spirally distributed along the circumference of the shaft.
[0017] Furthermore, the lip seal is made of nitrile rubber or fluororubber, with a Shore A hardness of 70-90 and an interference fit of 0.2-0.5mm.

[0023] This utility model also provides a bearing housing sealing and lubrication system, which includes the bearing housing thin oil sealing and waterproofing device as described above, and also includes a thin oil station, a pipeline system and a monitoring system.
[0024] A thin oil station includes an oil supply pump set, an oil tank, an oil cooler, an oil filtration system, and an oil-water separator;
[0025] The fuel supply pump assembly includes at least two fuel supply pumps, wherein:

[0049] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0050] 1. This utility model adopts a multi-level waterproof structure design, and sets a water-blocking ring with an inclined boss and a split water-throwing cover between the roller body and the bearing seat. It uses centrifugal force to guide the water flow through the drain outlet and, together with the annular gap formed by dynamic rotation, effectively prevents external water from entering the bearing seat, thus solving the problem that traditional sealing structures are prone to failure under high-pressure flushing environment.
[0051] 2. Through the synergistic effect of dynamic oil control and sealing components, W-shaped oil grooves are spirally distributed on the shaft. Combined with the throttling effect of the oil retainer ring and oil retainer, a small amount of leaked oil is recovered to the lubrication system by centrifugal force and gravity, reducing oil waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, the labyrinth seal and lip seal form multiple barriers. Together with the O-ring seal and heat-resistant silicone sealant, the overall sealing performance of the bearing housing is significantly improved, reducing the risk of oil leakage.
[0052] 3. The integrated lubrication system precisely distributes oil volume through grouped oil supply pumps, automatically controls oil temperature with plate-type oil coolers, and ensures oil cleanliness with multi-stage filtration and oil-water separation devices. This solves the problems of insufficient heat dissipation and easy emulsification of traditional thin oil lubrication, thereby reducing bearing operating temperature and extending life. The intelligent monitoring system collects parameters such as oil temperature and oil pressure in real time, and controls equipment start-up and shutdown and fault alarms in a coordinated manner, reducing the frequency of manual inspections and improving maintenance efficiency and equipment reliability.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0059] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment of a bearing housing thin oil sealing and waterproofing device, which includes a roller body 20 and a bearing housing 10; it also includes a waterproofing structure, which includes a water-blocking ring 1 and a water-spraying cover 2;
[0060] A water-blocking ring 1 is located between the roller body 20 and the bearing seat 10 and is fixedly connected to the end face of the roller body 20 by bolts. The water-blocking ring 1 has an annular boss on the side facing the bearing seat 10, and the annular boss is inclined at an angle of 15°-30° to the axis of the shaft body 19.
[0061] The water-spraying cover 2 is fixedly connected to the outer bearing end cover 14 by bolts. The inner wall of the water-spraying cover 2 and the outer wall of the boss of the water-blocking ring 1 form an annular gap of 0.5-2mm. The bottom of the water-spraying cover 2 is provided with a drain outlet 18, which is connected to an external water collection device.
[0062] The sealing structure includes an oil baffle ring 3 and an oil baffle 4;
[0063] Oil baffle ring 3 is sleeved on shaft 19 and located between bearing body 15 and inner bearing end cover 17;
[0064] The oil baffle ring 4 is embedded in the inner hole of the outer bearing end cover 14 and is clearance-fitted with the outer wall of the shaft body 19.
[0065] The first W-shaped oil groove 5 and the second W-shaped oil groove 6 are respectively opened on the outer wall of the shaft body 19. The first W-shaped oil groove 5 is located between the inner bearing end cover 17 and the bearing body 15, and the second W-shaped oil groove 6 is located between the outer bearing end cover 14 and the bearing body 15.
[0066] The labyrinth seal 7 is formed by the outer peripheral boss of the inner bearing end cover 17 and the inner hole groove of the bearing seat 10, including at least 3 sets of staggered bosses and grooves to form a tortuous channel with a channel gap of 0.5-1.5mm.
[0067] The lip seal 8 has an inner skeleton double lip structure and is embedded in the outer end hole of the outer bearing end cover 14. The lip is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the shaft 19 and the fit clearance is ≤0.1mm.
[0068] In the static sealing assembly, the mating surface between the inner bearing end cover 17 and the bearing housing 10 is sealed by a first O-ring seal 9, and the mating surface between the outer bearing end cover 14 and the bearing housing 10 is sealed by a second O-ring seal 13, and both mating surfaces are coated with heat-resistant silicone-based sealant 12.
[0069] When the equipment is running, the roller 20 drives the water-blocking ring 1 to rotate at high speed. The inclined boss of the water-blocking ring 1 (with an inclination angle of 15°-30° to the axis of the shaft 19) guides external water such as spray water and flushing water to the outside of the boss. Using centrifugal force, the water flows along the inner wall of the water-spinning cover 2 to the bottom and is discharged into the external water collection device through the drain port 18 at the bottom of the water-spinning cover 2, thus avoiding direct contact between water and the sealing surface of the bearing seat 10.
[0070] When the shaft 19 rotates, the oil baffle ring 3 fitted on the shaft 19 blocks the thin oil thrown out by the bearing body 15. Together with the oil baffle ring 4 embedded in the inner hole of the outer bearing end cover 14, it forms the first oil control barrier. A small amount of leaked oil is captured by the first W-shaped oil groove 5 and the second W-shaped oil groove 6 on the outer wall of the shaft 19. The first W-shaped oil groove 5 is located between the inner bearing end cover 17 and the bearing body 15, and the second W-shaped oil groove 6 is located between the outer bearing end cover 14 and the bearing body 15. Under the centrifugal force of the spiral groove, the two flow towards the inner side of the bearing seat 10 and finally flow back to the lubrication system through the oil return port 16 at the bottom of the bearing seat 10.
[0071] The labyrinth seal 7 (formed by at least 3 sets of staggered bosses and grooves with a gap of 0.5-1.5mm) between the inner bearing end cover 17 and the bearing housing 10 uses the gap throttling effect to block tiny water droplets and dust through multiple tortuous channels; the lip seal ring 8 (double lip structure, interference fit with the shaft 19, gap ≤0.1mm) in the outer end hole of the outer bearing end cover 14 forms a sealing pressure zone when it rotates dynamically, further preventing the intrusion of external impurities;
[0072] The mating surfaces of the inner bearing end cover 17 and the bearing housing 10 are sealed by the first O-ring seal 9, and the mating surfaces of the outer bearing end cover 14 and the bearing housing 10 are sealed by the second O-ring seal 13. Both mating surfaces are coated with heat-resistant silicone sealant 12 to ensure that there is no oil leakage when the equipment is stopped or running at low speed.
[0073] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the water-blocking ring 1 is made of stainless steel, and the water-spraying cover 2 is a split stainless steel structure. The outer diameter of the boss of the water-blocking ring 1 is 5-10mm larger than the inner diameter of the water-spraying cover 2, and the inclined surface of the boss faces the drain port 18 of the water-spraying cover 2.

The groove depth of the two W-shaped oil grooves is 2-5mm, the groove width is 5-10mm, and they are both spirally distributed along the shaft 19.
[0075] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the lip seal 8 is made of nitrile rubber or fluororubber, with a Shore A hardness of 70-90 and an interference fit of 0.2-0.5 mm.
[0076] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the height of the boss of the labyrinth seal 7 is 2-5mm, the depth of the groove is 3-6mm, and the radial gap between adjacent bosses and grooves is 0.5-1.5mm.
[0077] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the drain outlet 18 of the water-spraying cover 2 is 8-15mm, and the axis of the drain outlet 18 is inclined downward at an angle of 5°-15° to the horizontal plane.
