Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing housing technology, and in particular to an internally cooled bearing housing. Background Technology
[0002] Slewing bearing housings are large and extra-large bearing housings with special construction that can withstand comprehensive loads. They are characterized by their compact structure, smooth rotation, and convenient installation and maintenance. Where there is a bearing, there must be a support point. The internal support point of the bearing is the shaft, and the external support is what is commonly referred to as the bearing housing.
[0003] Under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the support bearing of the machine tool lead screw generates a lot of heat, which can easily cause deformation, affecting accuracy and lifespan. The heat from the bearing is transferred to the lead screw, which in turn affects the dimensional accuracy of the lead screw and consequently the accuracy of the machine tool.
[0004] Therefore, an internally cooled bearing housing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-10 This utility model provides an internally cooled bearing housing, including a front bearing housing 100, a rear bearing housing 200, and a cooling assembly 300. The front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200 are respectively located at both ends of a lead screw. The cooling assembly 300 is provided on both the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200. The cooling assembly 300 includes a water channel 310, a water tank A320, a water tank B330, and a liquid inlet 340. The water channel 310, the water tank A320, the water tank B330, and the liquid inlet 340 are respectively provided in a set in the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200, and the water channel 310, the water tank A320, and the water tank B330 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Each set of liquid inlets 340 has two, one of which is a liquid inlet and the other is a liquid outlet.
[0031] It should be noted that the above-mentioned external coolant circulation system includes an oil cooler 1. The supply port of the oil cooler 1 is connected to the inlet ports of the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200 on the X-axis lead screw 2, Y-axis lead screw 3 and Z-axis lead screw 4 respectively through a conduit and a distributor. The outlet ports of the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200 on the X-axis lead screw 2, Y-axis lead screw 3 and Z-axis lead screw 4 are connected to a filter 5 through a conduit and a distributor. The filter 5 is connected to the return port of the oil cooler 1.
[0032] The front bearing housing 100 includes a housing A110, with a pressure cap A120 and a pressure cap B130 installed on both sides of the housing A110. A set of water channels 310 and a liquid inlet 340 are both opened on the housing A110. A set of water tanks A320 is opened on the side of the pressure cap A120 facing the housing A110, and a set of water tanks B330 is opened on the side of the pressure cap B130 facing the housing A110.
[0033] The rear bearing housing 200 includes a housing B210 that is arranged opposite to the housing A110. A pressure cap C220 and a pressure cap D230 are respectively installed on both sides of the housing B210. Another set of water channels 310 and liquid inlets 340 are opened on the housing B210. Another set of water tanks A320 is opened on the side of the pressure cap C220 facing the housing B210, and another set of water tanks B330 is opened on the side of the pressure cap D230 facing the housing B210.
[0034] Among them, the shape and structural dimensions of the pressure cap A120 and pressure cap C220, and the pressure cap B130 and pressure cap D230 are the same. The central axis of the inner hole of the base body A110, pressure cap A120, pressure cap B130, base body B210, pressure cap C220 and pressure cap D230 are on the same straight line. The water channel 310 is set parallel to the central axis of the inner hole of the base body A110.
[0035] Among them, each group of water channels 310 has multiple channels distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the seat A110 and seat B210, each group of water tanks A320 has multiple channels distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the pressure cap A120 and pressure cap C220, and each group of water tanks B330 has multiple channels distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the pressure cap B130 and pressure cap C220.
[0036] The number of water channels 310 in each group is twice that of water tanks B330 in each group, the number of water tanks A320 in each group is one less than that of water tanks B330 in each group, and water tanks A320 and water tanks B330 are arranged alternately.
[0037] The two ends of the water channel 310 are connected to the corresponding water tanks A320 and B330 respectively, and the liquid inlet 340 is connected to the two adjacent water channels 310 respectively. The water channel 310, water tank A320, water tank B330 and liquid inlet 340 form a disc-shaped channel, so that the coolant can enter the disc-shaped channel from one of the liquid inlets 340. The coolant evenly contacts the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200 through the disc-shaped channel, and the coolant that absorbs heat can finally be discharged from the other liquid inlet 340.
[0038] Among them, water tank A320 and water tank B330 have the same shape and structural dimensions. Both water tank A320 and water tank B330 include groove A321 and groove B322. Groove A321 and groove B322 are respectively opened on pressure cap A120, pressure cap B130, pressure cap C220 and pressure cap D230. One side of the inner cavity of groove A321 is connected to groove B322, and the other side of the inner cavity of groove A321 is connected to the corresponding water channel 310. A stepped surface is formed between groove A321 and groove B322.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the coolant flows out from the supply port of the oil cooler 1 and is divided into three directions (X, Y, and Z) by the distributor. The distributor cools the front bearing housing 100 and the rear bearing housing 200 respectively, so that the coolant is delivered to the water channel 310, water tank A320 and water tank B330 through the corresponding liquid inlet 340. This allows the coolant to evenly remove heat. After absorbing heat, the coolant is discharged through the corresponding liquid inlet 340 and collected by the distributor. After being filtered by the filter 5, it flows back into the oil cooler 1 through the return port, thus completing the circulation of the coolant and realizing internal cooling heat dissipation.
[0040] All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
