[0029] Reference Figure 1-6 ,
[0030] A bearing protection structure includes a bearing 1 mounted on journals at both ends of a transmission roller 2, with one end face of the bearing 1 contacting the end face of the transmission roller 2. The protection structure includes a protective cover 3 and a dust cover. The protective cover 3 is made of metal or plastic; in this embodiment, the protective cover 3 is made of stainless steel. The dust cover is made of plastic. The protective cover 3 has a mounting portion 321, the inner diameter of which matches the diameter of the journal; the mounting portion 321 has an annular structure. The protective cover 3 has an abutment portion 322 that abuts against the inner ring end face of the bearing 1, a first dust cover 323 that forms a gap with the end face of the bearing 1, and a second dust cover 324 larger than the diameter of the outer ring of the bearing 1; the abutment portion 322 has a block structure, and the first dust cover 323 and the second dust cover 324 are both plate structures. The dust cover is mounted on the second dust cover 324, and the dust cover has a third dust cover that contacts the outer wall surface of the bearing 1. The protective cover 3 is fixed to the second dustproof part 324 with epoxy resin adhesive. The abutment part 322 abuts against the end face of the inner ring of the bearing 1 to prevent dust from entering the bearing 1 from the inner ring. At the same time, the third dustproof part of the dustproof sleeve fits against the outer wall of the outer ring of the bearing 1 to prevent dust from entering the bearing 1 through the gap between the outer ring of the bearing 1 or the inner ring of the bearing 1 and the cage of the bearing 1. This eliminates the problem of increased friction between the cage and the balls caused by dust at the source, thereby extending the service life of the bearing 1. After prolonged use, the cage of the bearing 1 may be damaged, and the balls of the bearing 1 may fall out of the bearing. The fallen balls may damage other equipment or injure nearby personnel. The protective cover provided in this embodiment can keep the balls inside the bearing 1 after installation, thereby preventing the balls from falling out of the bearing 1 and causing damage to other equipment, as well as preventing the fallen balls from injuring personnel.
[0031] Specifically, the protective cover 3 includes: a first protective shell 31 and a second protective shell 32; both the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 are provided with the mounting part 321, the abutment part 322, the first dustproof part 323, and the second dustproof part 324; the dustproof sleeve is fixedly disposed on the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 respectively. The first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 are combined to form the protective cover 3. This split design provides great convenience for later maintenance or repair. For example, when it is necessary to apply grease to the bearing 1, the user does not need to disassemble the entire transmission roller 2, but only needs to disassemble the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32, and then apply the grease to the bearing 1.
[0032] Specifically, a first connecting plate 311 is provided on the mounting portion 321 of the first protective shell 31, and a second connecting plate is provided on the mounting portion 321 of the second protective shell 32; both the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate are provided with through holes; a bolt is provided to pass through the through holes and connect with a nut. The first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate are provided to assemble the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 together. When installing the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32, the user can first place the first protective shell 31 or the second protective shell 32 on the journal of the transmission roller 2, match the positions of the through holes on the first connecting plate 311 and the second connecting plate, then pass the bolt through the washer, and finally pass the bolt through the through hole and tighten it with the nut. The operation is simple.
[0033] Specifically, a groove 312 is provided on the mounting portion 321 of the first protective shell 31; a protrusion is provided on the mounting portion 321 of the second protective shell 32; the size of the protrusion matches that of the groove 312. When workers directly install the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32, the first and second protective shells 31 and 32 may not be completely aligned and fixed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the groove 312 and the protrusion are provided to position the first and second protective shells 31 and 32. During installation, the user can first bring the outer wall surface of the protrusion into contact with the inner wall surface of the groove 312, and then insert the bolt into the through hole.
[0034] Specifically, an installation groove is formed in the mounting part 321; a rubber block is provided in the mounting groove; multiple rubber protrusions are provided on the rubber block that contact the outer wall of the journal. Epoxy adhesive is applied to the side of the rubber block facing away from the rubber protrusions to fix it in the mounting groove. After the transmission roller 2 rotates for a long time, the fit between the bolts and nuts may loosen, causing the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 to slide on the journal. After sliding, the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 will no longer be able to achieve the dustproof effect for the bearing 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, a rubber block is provided to increase the friction between the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 and the journal. At the same time, it is necessary for the operator to regularly check the position of the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32, as well as the bolts on the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32, to prevent the bolts on the first protective shell 31 and the second protective shell 32 from loosening.
[0035] Specifically, an oil inlet 3231 is provided on the first dustproof part 323; the axis of the oil inlet 3231 extends between the outer ring of the bearing 1 and the cage of the bearing 1. The oil inlet 3231 provides convenience for operators, allowing them to inject grease into the bearing 1 without disassembling the protective cover 3. During use, operators can fill the grease into the grease bottle, then insert the grease injection tube on the grease bottle into the oil inlet 3231 until the injection tube is located between the outer ring of the bearing 1 and the cage of the bearing 1, and inject the grease into the bearing 1 by squeezing the bottle body with external force.
[0036] Specifically, the protective structure further includes a rubber plug and a connecting rope; one end of the connecting rope is connected to the first dustproof part 323, and the other end of the connecting rope is connected to the rubber plug; the rubber plug is threaded into the oil filling port 3231. Specifically, the first dustproof part 323 is provided with a connecting block, and the end of the connecting rope facing away from the rubber plug is fixedly connected to the connecting block. After the operator injects grease into the bearing 1, the rubber plug can seal the oil filling port 3231 to prevent dust from entering the bearing 1 through the oil filling port 3231.
[0037] Specifically, the third dustproof part is a flexible bristle. The flexible bristle can block dust in the air, thereby preventing dust from entering the bearing 1. After prolonged use, the protective structure can be disassembled and the flexible bristles cleaned. In other embodiments, the third dustproof part is a sponge.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
