Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing technology, specifically an embedded thrust bearing. Background Technology

[0002] The bearing shell is the part of a sliding bearing that contacts the journal. It is a semi-cylindrical surface shaped like a tile, and is very smooth. It is generally made of wear-resistant materials such as bronze and anti-friction alloys. In special cases, it can be made of wood, engineering plastics, or rubber.

[0003] Current thrust bearings still fall short of actual usage requirements in terms of overall structural stability and connection firmness. After prolonged use, thrust plates are prone to detachment and loosening. To address these issues, we propose an inlaid thrust bearing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an embedded thrust bearing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an embedded thrust bearing, comprising:

[0006] The bearing body consists of a bearing shell and two thrust plates. The bearing shell has multiple fan-shaped, equidistantly spaced slots on its front and rear side walls. Each slot has a locking groove on its inner wall. Each thrust plate has multiple fan-shaped, equidistantly spaced L-shaped locking blocks on its inner wall. These L-shaped locking blocks are movably engaged in the locking grooves of the slots. Each bearing shell has an arc-shaped locking rod on its front and rear side walls. Multiple limiting blocks are fixedly welded to the side wall of the arc-shaped locking rod closest to the bearing shell, and these limiting blocks are movably inserted into the slots.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of the arc-shaped locking rod are movably connected to fastening bolts through through holes, and a pair of threaded grooves are provided on the front and rear side walls of the bearing body, and the fastening bolts are threadedly connected in the threaded grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the plurality of L-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks and the thrust plate are integrally formed.

[0009] Preferably, two oil grooves are formed on the inner wall of the bearing body.

[0010] Preferably, both oil tanks are provided with oil injection holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In the process of using this utility model, when installing the thrust plate, the multiple L-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks on the thrust plate can be inserted into the slots of the bearing body. Then, the thrust plate is rotated so that the L-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks snap into the snap-fit ​​grooves. Next, the multiple limiting blocks of the arc-shaped locking rod are inserted into the gaps of the multiple slots. Finally, the fastening bolts are screwed into the threaded grooves. This allows the thrust plate to be fixed to the bearing body through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the L-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks and the snap-fit ​​grooves. The arc-shaped locking rod and the multiple limiting blocks limit and fix the L-shaped snap-fit ​​blocks, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the thrust plate and the bearing body. Moreover, the installation and operation of the thrust plate is simple and convenient, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the thrust plate. Attached Figure Description
