[0003] Bearings consist of an outer ring, an inner ring, a cage, and balls. The bearing does not have a structure to store lubricating oil inside, which leads to rapid loss of lubricant: the inability to store lubricating oil or grease causes the lubricant to be squeezed out or evaporated in a short time, resulting in direct contact between metal surfaces.

[0004] In view of this, a bearing equipped with a lubrication structure is provided to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a bearing with a lubrication structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an outer ring 1, a cage 2, and an inner ring 3. The outer ring 1, cage 2, and inner ring 3 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. A first groove 4 is carved into the inner ring 1, and a second groove 5 is carved into the outer wall of the inner ring 3. A plurality of balls 6 are equidistantly arranged in the cage 2. A plurality of oil delivery mechanisms 7 are arranged in a ring in the cage 2. A sealing cover 8 is provided on the oil delivery mechanism 7, and a sealing mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the sealing cover 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the bearing needs to be lubricated, the lubricating oil is injected into the oil delivery mechanism 7 in advance through the sealing mechanism 9. The components in the sealing mechanism 9 are locked by threads to ensure that the lubricating oil will not leak through the sealing mechanism 9 in the oil delivery mechanism 7. Then, through the rotation of the bearing, the centrifugal force causes the lubricating oil in the oil delivery mechanism 7 to be thrown out and drip onto the ball 6 for self-lubrication. Example

[0027] The oil conveying mechanism 7 includes an oil storage tank 10, a sintered metal felt 11, an oil transfer port 12, and an oil outlet 13. The oil storage tank 10 is annularly carved into the outer wall of the retainer 2. The sintered metal felt 11 is installed inside the oil storage tank 10. The oil transfer port 12 is carved into the oil storage tank 10. The oil outlet 13 is connected to one side of the oil transfer port 12 and is carved into the placement opening inside the retainer 2. The sealing cover 8 is installed on one side of the oil storage tank 10, and a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the sealing cover 8 and the oil storage tank 10. Through the rotation of the bearing, the lubricating oil in the sintered metal felt 11 or the oil storage tank 10 is thrown out by centrifugal force and drips onto the ball bearing 6 for self-lubrication.

[0028] The sealing mechanism 9 includes an oil inlet 14, a threaded rod 15, and a sealing cap 16. The oil inlet 14 is cut into one side of the sealing cap 8. The threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the oil inlet 14. The sealing cap 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded rod 15. The oil enters the inlet oil 14 through the threaded rod 15, ensuring that the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 10 will not leak through the oil inlet 14.

[0029] Based on Example 1, the structure and function of the device are further optimized. The metal sintered oil felt 11 has a porous structure: there are a large number of micropores inside, which adsorb lubricating oil through capillary action. Oil storage capacity: the lubricating oil is stored in the pores and needs to be gradually released by external forces (such as thermal expansion, pressure or centrifugal force). Oil throwing mechanism: when the bearing rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force may throw the lubricating oil in the pores outward. The rotation speed is high enough: the centrifugal force needs to overcome the surface tension of the lubricating oil and the capillary force of the pores. Oil felt position: the oil felt is located near the balls (such as the bearing cage or inner ring), and the thrown oil is more likely to reach the balls. Lubricating oil viscosity: low viscosity oil (such as ISO VG 10-32) is easier to be thrown out, while high viscosity oil may require higher rotation speed or temperature assistance.

[0030] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, when the bearing needs to be lubricated, the lubricating oil is introduced into the oil storage tank 10 in advance through the inlet oil 14. The lubricating oil is absorbed by the metal sintered oil felt 11, and then enters the inlet oil 14 through the threaded rod 15 via the threaded connection, ensuring that the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 10 will not leak through the oil inlet 14. Then, through the rotation of the bearing, the centrifugal force causes the lubricating oil in the metal sintered oil felt 11 or the oil storage tank 10 to be thrown out and drip onto the ball bearing 6 for self-lubrication.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
