[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0015] Reference Figs. 1-2 As shown, a tensioning pulley 1 and bearing 3 anti-dislodgement structure includes a pulley 1, a bearing housing 2 disposed on the pulley 1, and a bearing 3. The bearing 3 is installed in the bearing housing 2, and a rubber sleeve 4 is provided between the bearing 3 and the bearing housing 2 to increase the clamping force between the bearing 3 and the bearing housing 2. The side of the bearing housing 2 used for installing the bearing 3 is provided with a fixedly connected side cover 5. The rubber sleeve 4 is provided with a first mounting part 6, and the side cover 5 facing the rubber sleeve 4 is provided with a second mounting part 7 that cooperates with the inclined surface of the first mounting part 6.
[0016] During installation, bearing 3 is assembled inside bearing chamber 2, and rubber sleeve 4 is fitted between the outer ring of bearing 3 and the inner wall of bearing chamber 2. Side cover 5 is fixedly connected to the side of bearing chamber 2 used for installing bearing 3. The second mounting part 7 of side cover 5 and the first mounting part 6 of rubber sleeve 4 cooperate with each other through inclined surfaces, thereby improving the fit between the inner ring of rubber sleeve 4 and the outer ring of bearing 3, and between the outer ring of rubber sleeve 4 and the inner wall of bearing chamber 2, thereby increasing the clamping force between bearing 3 and bearing chamber 2 and preventing bearing 3 from coming out of bearing chamber 2 during operation. Rubber sleeve 4 can be pre-fitted onto bearing 3 by interference fit and then installed into bearing chamber 2 together, or rubber sleeve 4 can be placed into bearing chamber 2 first and then bearing 3 can be installed.
[0017] The side cover 5, facing the bearing 3, is also provided with a limiting part 8 that restricts the axial movement of the bearing 3. The limiting part 8 abuts against the end of the outer ring of the bearing 3. When the bearing 3 is subjected to axial force, the limiting part 8 can form an axial constraint on the outer ring of the bearing 3, restricting the bearing 3 from moving axially away from the interior of the bearing housing 2. The side cover 5 cooperates with the first mounting part 6 through the second mounting part 7 to constrain the bearing 3 in the radial direction, and the limiting part 8 constrains the bearing 3 in the axial direction. Through axial and radial constraints, the bearing 3 can operate stably in the bearing housing 2.
[0018] The bearing chamber 2 has a threaded groove 9 on one side for mounting the bearing 3. The side cover 5 has a threaded shaft section 10 that mates with the threaded groove 9. The bearing chamber 2 has a first abutting surface 11 and a second abutting surface 12. The first abutting surface 11 abuts with the top of the second mounting part 7. The side cover 5 has a stepped surface that mates with the second abutting surface 12.
[0019] When the side cover 5 is connected to the threaded groove 9 of the bearing chamber 2 via the threaded shaft section 10, the contact between the first abutting surface 11 and the top of the second mounting part 7 can further restrict the axial position of the side cover 5, preventing the side cover 5 from being excessively screwed into the bearing chamber 2 and causing excessive pressure on the rubber sleeve 4, which would lead to its damage. The cooperation between the stepped surface and the second abutting surface 12 can increase the contact area between the side cover 5 and the bearing chamber 2, improve the stability of the connection between the two, reduce the loosening of the side cover 5 due to factors such as vibration during operation, and thus ensure the clamping effect of the rubber sleeve 4 and the restraining effect of the limiting part 8.
[0020] The side cover 5 has a polygonal outline for tool installation, which facilitates tool installation and removal. The side cover 5 also has a through hole 13 that communicates with the bearing chamber 2. The through hole 13 allows the bearing chamber 2 to be connected to the external environment, enabling the heat generated by the bearing 3 during operation to be dissipated to the outside through the through hole 13, thus preventing the bearing chamber 2 from becoming a closed space.
[0021] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
