[0002] As one of the most important rotating components in a pump assembly, bearings play a crucial role in the normal operation of the pump.

[0003] Bearing clearance, also known as bearing clearance, refers to the amount of movement a bearing makes when, without being installed on a shaft or bearing housing, one of its inner or outer rings is fixed, and the looser ring moves radially or axially. Based on the direction of movement, it can be divided into radial clearance and axial clearance. The size of the clearance during operation affects the bearing's rolling fatigue life, temperature rise, noise, vibration, and other performance characteristics. Bearing clearance is one of the key indicators for the normal and stable operation of a bearing, and accurate measurement of bearing clearance is crucial.

[0004] However, for bearings installed on pumps, there is currently a lack of dedicated testing equipment to detect their axial clearance. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pump bearing clearance testing device and system to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0049] This invention provides a pump bearing clearance detection device, which can be used to detect the axial clearance of bearings installed on the pump shaft.

[0050] Please refer to the following for comprehensive information. Figures 1 to 2This application specification provides a pump bearing clearance detection device for detecting the axial clearance of a bearing mounted on a pump shaft. The device may include: a transition plate 16, which is sleeved on a bearing housing 18 outside the bearing to be tested, and has a central hole in its center for the pump shaft 17 to pass through; a mounting mechanism connected to the transition plate 16; and a cylinder 1 mounted on the mounting mechanism, the cylinder 1 having a first interface and a second interface. The cylinder 1 has a first air pipe 13 connected to its first interface and a second air pipe 14 connected to its second interface. A valve control mechanism 12 controls the flow of gas through the first and second air pipes 13 and 14 to drive the output shaft of the cylinder 1 to reciprocate linearly along the axial direction of the pump shaft 17. A pump connecting adapter 11 connects one end to the pump shaft 17 and the other end to the output shaft of the cylinder 1. A detection element (e.g., a dial indicator) is used to obtain the axial clearance of the bearing under test. The detection element may include a displacement sensor, which accurately measures the offset corresponding to the bearing automatically resetting after reaching its limit position.

[0051] The pump bearing clearance detection device provided in this application embodiment achieves precise docking between the detection equipment and the pump bearing housing 18 through the adapter plate 16, providing a stable installation and measurement foundation for the overall detection structure; the installation mechanism provides fixed support for the cylinder 1, ensuring that the output shaft of the cylinder 1 is axially aligned with the pump shaft 17; the air valve control mechanism 12 drives the output shaft of the cylinder 1 to reciprocate linearly along the pump shaft 17 by regulating the air intake and exhaust states of the two air pipes. This power is transmitted to the pump shaft 17 through the pump connection adapter 11, causing the bearing to move to its limit position. After the power is removed, the bearing automatically resets, and the axial clearance offset can be measured; the detection element can collect the bearing axial clearance value. The entire solution achieves targeted detection of the axial clearance of the pump shaft 17 bearing in the assembled state through the coordinated logic of fixing, driving, force transmission, and detection. This solves the problem of poor compatibility and inability to accurately detect the axial clearance of the pump shaft 17 bearing in the assembled state of existing general-purpose testing equipment. The coordinated design of core components ensures the stability of the testing process and lays the foundation for subsequent accurate testing. Compared with manual driving, the cylinder 1 driven by the air valve is easier to control the magnitude and direction of the force, reducing the impact of human operation on the testing accuracy.

[0052] In one embodiment, the mounting mechanism includes a cylinder support 2 and a support leg 9. The cylinder support 2 includes a mounting platform, and the middle of the mounting platform is provided with a mounting hole for the output shaft of the cylinder 1 to pass through. The support leg 9 is disposed between the mounting platform and the adapter plate 16.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mounting mechanism may include a cylinder support 2 and a support leg 9. The mounting platform of the cylinder support 2 has a mounting hole in the middle for the output shaft of the cylinder 1 to pass through. The diameter of the mounting hole is slightly larger than that of the output shaft of the cylinder 1, so as to limit and guide the output shaft of the cylinder 1 and ensure that the output shaft of the cylinder 1 moves only in the axial direction.

[0054] The support leg 9 connects the mounting platform and the adapter plate 16. By reasonably setting the length and distribution of the support leg 9, it is ensured that the output shaft of the cylinder 1 is precisely coaxial with the pump shaft 17 after installation, while reserving reasonable space for the subsequent installation of the adapter components and the limiting mechanism. Specifically, the length of the support leg 9 can be determined comprehensively based on the output shaft of the cylinder 1, the mounting mechanism, and the length of the pump connecting adapter 11 along the pump shaft 17. This application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0055] In one embodiment, a limiting mechanism is provided between the pump connecting adapter 11 and the output shaft of the cylinder 1. The limiting mechanism includes: a limiting slide rail 10, which extends longitudinally along the axial direction of the pump shaft 17, with one end connected to the mounting platform and the other end connected to the adapter plate 16; a limiting support 5, which is slidably disposed on the limiting slide rail 10; and a connecting assembly, which is mounted on the limiting support 5 and connected to both the output shaft of the cylinder 1 and the pump connecting adapter 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, a limiting mechanism is added to the mounting mechanism. A limiting slide rail 10 extending axially along the pump shaft 17 limits the movement trajectory of the limiting support 5, allowing it to slide only axially. The adapter assembly is mounted on the limiting support 5, enabling power transmission between the cylinder 1 output shaft and the pump connection adapter 11. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the limiting support 5 and the slide rail constrains radial offset during power transmission, ensuring that the axial force output by the cylinder 1 is accurately applied to the pump shaft 17. This solves the problems of force loss and detection deviation caused by radial offset during power transmission. The guiding effect of the limiting mechanism further improves the coaxiality of the cylinder 1 output shaft and the pump shaft 17, making the bearing clearance offset more controllable and the detection data more accurate. The slidable limiting support 5 is adaptable to cylinder 1 drives with different strokes, improving the flexibility of the mechanism.

[0057] The limiting slide rail 10 can extend along the axial length of the pump shaft 17 and be fixed between the mounting platform and the adapter plate 16. The limiting support 5 can be a limiting plate with a certain thickness. An opening or groove can be provided near the outer edge of the limiting plate, through which it can be slidably fitted onto the limiting slide rail 10.

[0058] The adapter assembly may include a cylinder connecting screw 3, a limiting block 4, and a limiting connector arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the pump shaft 17. One end of the cylinder connecting screw 3 is connected to the output shaft of the cylinder 1, and the other end passes through the limiting block 4. One end of the limiting connector passes through the limiting block 4, can rotate relative to the limiting block 4 but cannot move radially relative to the limiting block 4, and the other end is connected to the pump connecting adapter 11.

[0059] In this embodiment, the adapter assembly can adopt an axial sequential connection structure of cylinder connecting screw 3, limiting block 4, and limiting connector to realize segmented power transmission of cylinder 1; cylinder connecting screw 3 is connected to the output shaft of cylinder 1 to transmit power to limiting block 4, and then to pump connecting adapter 11 through limiting connector; at the same time, the cooperation relationship between limiting connector and limiting block 4 is limited (rotatable but not radially movable), which ensures that power is transmitted axially and allows the limiting connector to rotate synchronously when pump shaft 17 rotates, avoiding damage to pump shaft 17 or adapter assembly due to rigid connection.

[0060] Overall, the segmented adapter assembly facilitates the replacement of compatible parts according to different pump shaft 17 specifications, improving the equipment's versatility. The limiting block 4 and its mating parts achieve a rotatable but non-radial-movable fit, balancing the stability of power transmission with the compatibility of pump shaft 17 rotation, avoiding component interference damage during testing, while ensuring radial positioning accuracy and further improving testing accuracy.

[0061] Specifically, the limiting connector may include a detachably connected limiting connecting rod 6 and a limiting adapter connecting rod 8. One end of the limiting connecting rod 6 passes through the limiting block 4 and can rotate circumferentially relative to the limiting block 4 but cannot move radially relative to the limiting block 4. The other end is connected to the limiting adapter connecting rod 8. One end of the limiting adapter connecting rod 8 is detachably connected to the limiting connecting rod 6, and the other end is detachably connected to the pump connecting adapter 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, the limiting connector is divided into a detachable limiting connecting rod 6 and a limiting adapter connecting rod 8. The limiting connecting rod 6 cooperates with the limiting block 4 (it can rotate circumferentially but cannot move radially) to ensure radial positioning and rotation compatibility. The limiting adapter connecting rod 8 is detachably connected to the limiting connecting rod 6 and the pump connecting adapter 11 respectively. The appropriate limiting adapter connecting rod 8 can be replaced according to the connection size of different pump shafts 17.

[0063] The detachable connection can be a threaded connection, but it can also be in other forms, such as snap-fit. Those skilled in the art may make other changes based on the technical essence of this application, but as long as the function and effect are the same as or similar to this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] The aforementioned detachable segmented structure significantly improves the compatibility of the testing equipment with different models of pump shaft 17, eliminating the need to replace the entire adapter assembly and reducing equipment maintenance and usage costs. The detachable connection facilitates disassembly and repair while ensuring the stability of power transmission, thus balancing versatility and testing reliability.

[0065] In one embodiment, the limiting block 4 is detachably mounted on the limiting support 5. The limiting support 5 has opposing first and second surfaces along the axial direction of the pump shaft 17. The limiting block 4 includes a first limiting block located on one side of the first surface and a second limiting block located on one side of the second surface. A first limiting groove is formed in the first limiting block. A first engaging portion is radially protruded from the cylinder connecting screw 3. The first engaging portion is clearance-fitted with the first limiting groove and is rotatably mounted in the first limiting groove. A second limiting groove is formed in the second limiting block. A second engaging portion is radially protruded from the limiting connecting rod 6. The second engaging portion is clearance-fitted with the second limiting groove and is rotatably mounted in the second limiting groove.

[0066] In this embodiment, the limiting block 4 may include a first limiting block and a second limiting block that are detachably connected to the limiting support 5. By splitting the limiting block 4 into a detachable first limiting block and a second limiting block, which are respectively installed on both sides of the limiting support 5; by providing an annular first limiting groove in the first limiting block, which is clearance-fitted with the first engaging part of the cylinder connecting screw 3, the cylinder connecting screw 3 can be rotated and radially limited; similarly, the annular second limiting groove of the second limiting block is clearance-fitted with the second engaging part of the limiting connecting rod 6, which can be rotated and radially limited; the detachable limiting block 4 is designed to facilitate the installation and replacement of the engaging parts.

[0067] Specifically, the first limiting block and the second limiting block can be connected to the limiting support 5 by means of bolts or the like. The specific shape and structure of the first limiting block and the second limiting block can be the same or similar.

[0068] Taking the first limiting block as an example, it can be in the shape of a sleeve or a cover, with a first limiting groove formed inside. A first through hole communicating with the first limiting groove is provided in the middle for the cylinder connecting screw 3 to pass through. The cylinder connecting screw 3 has a first engaging part protruding radially, which can specifically be a circular boss provided at the end of the cylinder connecting screw 3.

[0069] In one embodiment, the cylinder 1 is a bidirectional cylinder, and the first air pipe 13 and the second air pipe 14 are both inlet and outlet air pipes.

[0070] In this embodiment, the cylinder 1 is a bidirectional cylinder 1, which enables the testing equipment to detect the bidirectional axial clearance of the bearing. Compared with unidirectional drive, the detection range is more comprehensive, and the complete test can be completed without disassembling and adjusting the direction of the equipment, thus improving the testing efficiency. In addition, the first air pipe 13 and the second air pipe 14 adopt inlet and outlet air pipes, which simplifies the air circuit structure, reduces the adjustment difficulty of the air valve control mechanism 12, and improves the ease of operation of the equipment.

[0071] Specifically, the air valve control mechanism 12 includes an air valve seat and an air valve switch. The air valve seat is connected to the first air pipe 13 and the second air pipe 14. The air valve seat is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air valve switch is used to control the connection between the air inlet, the air outlet and the first air pipe 13 and the second air pipe 14.

[0072] In this embodiment, the valve seat is used to connect the two air pipes in a centralized manner. The air inlet on the valve seat is connected to an external air source and is used as the air source inlet 15. The exhaust port is used to discharge gas. The valve switch controls the connection between the air inlet, exhaust port and the two air pipes by switching the valve core position, thereby realizing the switching of the air intake and exhaust states of the two air pipes and precisely controlling the extension and retraction of the output shaft of cylinder 1.

[0073] In one embodiment, the adapter plate 16 is provided with multiple rings of connecting holes at radial intervals. The diameter and hole spacing of the multiple rings of connecting holes are different, and the multiple rings of connecting holes are used to adapt to bearing housings 18 with different outer diameters.

[0074] In this embodiment, by providing multiple rings of connecting holes at radial intervals on the adapter plate 16, with different hole diameters and hole spacings, during use, a suitable ring of connecting holes can be selected according to the outer diameter of the bearing housing 18 to be tested, and the adapter plate 16 can be fixed to the bearing housing 18 with bolts to achieve precise docking between the adapter plate 16 and bearing housings 18 of different specifications.

[0075] In one embodiment, the mounting mechanism is further provided with a lifting hole 7.

[0076] In this embodiment, a lifting hole 7 is provided on the installation mechanism. By cooperating with the lifting equipment (such as a crane or hoist) and the lifting hole 7, the entire testing equipment can be conveniently lifted to the corresponding position of the pump to be tested, thus completing the rapid positioning and installation of the equipment.

[0077] This application also provides a bearing clearance detection system, which mainly includes the above-mentioned pump bearing clearance detection device. By setting the pump bearing clearance detection device, the bearing clearance detection system can achieve the technical effects achieved by the implementation of the pump bearing clearance detection device. For details, please refer to the specific description of the above implementation, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] like Figure 3 In a specific scenario, the pump bearing clearance detection device 100 provided in this application embodiment can perform the following operation steps during actual use:

[0079] Step 1: Preparation of testing equipment and pump body:

[0080] Adjust the assembled pump, which is awaiting inspection and adjustment, to a testable state;

[0081] Select the appropriate pump connection adapter 11 based on the specifications of the pump shaft 17 of the pump to be tested.

[0082] Using the lifting hole 7 on the installation mechanism of the testing equipment, the testing equipment is hoisted to the corresponding position of the pump to be tested by the lifting equipment, the connection hole of the adapter plate 16 and the bearing box 18 are aligned, and the bolts are used to fix it, ensuring that the bolt tightening torque meets the equipment requirements.

[0083] Step 2: Connecting the testing equipment and coaxial calibration:

[0084] Connect the selected pump connection adapter 11 to the limit block 4 adapter rod;

[0085] Operate the air valve control mechanism 12 to initially adjust the position of the cylinder 1 so that the cylinder connecting screw 3, limit connecting rod 6, limit adapter connecting rod 8 and pump connecting adapter 11 connected in sequence at the output end of the cylinder 1 form a complete force transmission link.

[0086] Calibrate the coaxiality of the aforementioned power transmission link and the pump shaft 17 to ensure that they are axially aligned.

[0087] Step 3: Setting up and zeroing the testing equipment:

[0088] Install a calibrated dial indicator on the non-stressed end of pump shaft 17 and adjust its position.

[0089] Step 4: Axial force application and clearance detection:

[0090] Operate the air valve control mechanism 12 to control the air source to enter the cylinder 1 through the air pipe, so that the cylinder 1 generates a stable axial force.

[0091] The force is transmitted along the preset force transmission path: cylinder connecting screw 3, limit block 4, limit support 5, limit connecting rod 6, limit adapter connecting rod 8, pump connecting adapter 11, pump shaft 17.

[0092] Under the action of axial force, the axial clearance of the bearing shifts in the direction of force, causing the pump shaft 17 to generate axial displacement. When the pump shaft 17 moves to the limit position, the axial force of the cylinder 1 is removed, the dial indicator is returned to zero, and the bearing is automatically reset. After the bearing completes the reset, the reading displayed by the dial indicator in real time is the measured value of the axial clearance of the bearing.

[0093] Step 5: Clearance Adjustment and Acceptance Confirmation:

[0094] Compare the measured values ​​of the dial indicator with the standard values ​​of the bearing axial clearance specified in the pump design documents;

[0095] If the measured value does not meet the standard, adjust the clearance of the pump shaft bearing 17;

[0096] After adjustment, repeat the testing process in step 4 until the dial gauge reading meets the standard requirements, and the test is complete.
