While existing technologies improve lubrication and venting through grooved structures, there is still room for improvement in gas-liquid separation efficiency and structural reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hydrodynamic bearing with an air escape groove is provided, comprising:

[0004] Bearing body;

[0005] The shaft hole is located inside the bearing body and extends through both ends of the bearing body;

[0009] Furthermore, the escape section is a rectangular plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the venting section extends axially along the bearing body and is parallel to the central axis of the shaft hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the escaping groove is parallel to the central axis of the rotating shaft hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the escape groove is located on the center line of the escape section.

[0013] Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the escaping groove and the inner wall of the rotating shaft hole is not less than 0.2 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance between the escaping section and the inner wall of the shaft hole is 1.05mm~2.8mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the depth of the escaping groove is 0.2mm~1mm.

[0016] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the hydrodynamic bearing with venting grooves forms a synergistic venting channel by setting an axially extending venting section and venting grooves parallel to the shaft hole, which can effectively separate air bubbles in the lubricating oil and accelerate their discharge, significantly improving the stability of gas-liquid two-phase flow. This solution combines ease of processing with high reliability, and can extend the service life of the bearing and improve the overall performance under extreme working conditions.

[0017] It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the claimed technology. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a hydrodynamic bearing with an air escape groove according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] Reference numerals: 1. Bearing body, 2. Shaft hole, 3. Oil guide groove, 4. Air escape section, 5. Air escape groove. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0021] First, combine Figure 1 The description of the dynamic pressure bearing with venting groove 5 according to an embodiment of the present invention is for venting of the dynamic pressure bearing and has a wide range of applications.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the hydrodynamic bearing with venting groove 5 of this utility model embodiment includes: a bearing body 1; a shaft hole 2; at least one set of oil guide grooves 3; a venting cross-section 4 and a venting groove 5. In this embodiment, the bearing body 1 is a cylinder.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the shaft hole 2 is located inside the bearing body 1 and extends through both ends of the bearing body 1, providing a shaft mounting reference surface to ensure the concentricity of the shaft and bearing, and allowing lubricating oil and gas to flow freely at both ends of the bearing; the oil guide groove 3 group is located on the inner wall of the shaft hole 2, and the oil guide groove 3 group includes multiple oil guide grooves 3. Multiple oil guide groove 3 groups can be set according to requirements. The oil guide grooves 3 are V-shaped, and multiple oil guide grooves 3 are equidistantly arranged. The oil guide grooves 3 guide the lubricating oil to form a continuous oil film, and use the dynamic pressure effect to generate oil film pressure to support the shaft; the venting section 4 is located on the outer wall of the bearing body 1 and extends to both ends of the bearing body 1 to guide the gas to escape; the venting groove 5 is opened on the venting section 4 and extends to both ends of the bearing body 1. The two-stage design of the section and the groove can effectively remove air bubbles in the lubricating oil and enhance the heat dissipation capacity. In this embodiment, the venting section 4 provides a stable guiding path for gas discharge, forming the main channel for gas flow. Combined with the venting groove 5, it guides the gas flow path. Utilizing the surface tension effect, the sharp angles of the venting groove 5 can more efficiently capture air bubbles in the oil. The venting section 4 can handle conventional venting needs, while the venting groove 5 is suitable for venting needs under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, demonstrating good applicability. Compared to directly creating deeper grooves, the venting section 4 and the venting groove 5 on the section ensure the structural rigidity of the bearing outer wall. By placing the venting groove 5 on the venting plane, it can be formed during the molding process of the bar stock, eliminating the need for subsequent processing and reducing production costs.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the venting section 4 is a rectangular plane, which facilitates the fit between the bearing and the housing during bearing installation and provides a stable axially aligned channel for gas discharge.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the venting section 4 extends axially along the bearing body 1 and is parallel to the central axis of the shaft hole 2, enabling rapid venting.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the venting groove 5 is parallel to the central axis of the shaft hole 2 to achieve the shortest exhaust path. When the shaft rotates, the oil is carried along and rotates at high speed, and the air bubbles are thrown into the groove by centrifugal force. The straight groove achieves rapid exhaust and heat dissipation.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the escaping groove 5 is opened on the center line of the escaping section 4. The center line is the area where the airflow is most concentrated, and the discharge speed is fast. The center setting makes the force on both sides uniform, avoiding bearing vibration caused by uneven exhaust, and the overall appearance is also more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the bottom of the venting groove 5 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 2 is not less than 0.2mm to ensure sufficient strength and achieve better exhaust effect. The distance can be set to 0.2mm~1mm according to the bearing size.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the distance between the venting section 4 and the inner wall of the shaft hole 2 is 1.05mm~2.8mm. The size of the distance is set according to the size of the bearing, which combines bearing strength and venting performance.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the depth of the venting groove 5 is 0.2mm~1mm to achieve a better exhaust effect.

[0031] Working principle: The venting plane and venting groove 5 are recessed on the outer wall of the bearing body 1, and the venting groove 5 extends to both ends of the bearing body 1, so that the outer wall of the bearing body 1 can form an venting (exhaust) space. As a result, it can have a better venting (exhaust) effect, and when installed in a motor, it can facilitate the discharge of hot air, thereby effectively improving the performance of the motor.

[0032] Above, refer to Figure 1 This invention describes a hydrodynamic bearing with venting grooves according to an embodiment of the present invention. By setting an axially extending venting section and venting grooves parallel to the shaft hole, a synergistic venting channel is formed, which can effectively separate air bubbles in the lubricating oil and accelerate their discharge, significantly improving the stability of gas-liquid two-phase flow. This solution combines ease of processing with high reliability, and can extend the service life of the bearing and improve the overall performance under extreme working conditions.
