Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing steel pipe technology, specifically a fully protected high-performance cold-drawn bearing steel pipe. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern machinery manufacturing, bearings are key components, and their performance directly affects the operating accuracy, stability, and service life of mechanical equipment. Bearing steel tubes, as the core raw material for bearing production, require crucial quality control. However, there are currently many technical challenges to be addressed in the transportation, transfer, and storage of bearing steel tubes.
[0003] During transportation and relocation, bearing steel pipes are typically transported using open or semi-open methods, making it easy for foreign objects to enter through the openings at both ends. For example, during long-distance freight transport, granular foreign objects such as sand, gravel, and metal shavings may enter the steel pipe due to bumps and vibrations, or accidentally detached tool parts during hoisting and loading / unloading operations. As the vehicle bumps and vibrates during transportation, these foreign objects continuously rub and scrape against the inner wall of the steel pipe, causing scratches and damage that is difficult to detect. Since the smoothness and integrity of the inner wall of the bearing steel pipe directly affect the precision and reliability of the finished bearing, using steel pipes with damaged inner walls in bearing production can lead to anything from abnormal noise and vibration during operation, reducing operational stability, to premature wear and failure, significantly shortening the bearing's lifespan, and ultimately affecting the normal operation of the entire machinery, resulting in substantial economic losses.
[0004] The storage of bearing steel pipes also presents significant challenges. As a metallic material, steel is highly susceptible to oxidation by reacting with oxygen and moisture in the air, forming rust. Furthermore, it is prone to corrosion in complex environments such as humidity and acid / alkali conditions. Current storage methods mostly rely on simple environmental control or applying a small amount of protective grease to the surface, which is insufficient to effectively prevent long-term oxidation and corrosion. With prolonged storage, the surface of the steel pipe gradually rusts, the internal structural strength decreases, and the material properties deteriorate. Frequent purchases of new raw materials not only increase costs for enterprises but also, in the event of material shortages, severely impact bearing production, affecting the company's product reputation and market competitiveness.

[0046] External anti-oxidation coating 16: Anti-oxidation materials are applied to the outer wall of the substrate 3 to form a dense protective film on the steel surface, which isolates oxygen in the air and slows down the oxidation process of the steel.

[0051] Inner anti-corrosion layer 21: The inner bonding layer 20 of the inner wall of the substrate 3 is coated with anti-corrosion material to resist the corrosion of steel by complex environments such as moisture, acid and alkali, and to provide anti-corrosion protection for the inner wall of the pipe 1.
[0052] Working Principle: This fully protected high-performance cold-drawn bearing steel pipe achieves comprehensive and multi-layered protection for the bearing steel pipe through the coordinated operation of the side sealing protection component 2, the outer protection structure 4, and the inner protection structure 5. This effectively solves problems such as inner wall scratches and oxidation corrosion during transportation and storage, ensuring the quality and service life of the bearing steel pipe. The side sealing protection component 2, as the first line of defense against foreign object intrusion, operates based on a sophisticated mechanical connection design. The side sealing protection component 6, together with the clamp 7, through groove 8, and fixing groove 9 at the end of the pipe 1, forms a stable closed system. When sealing the bearing steel pipe is required, the operator aligns the clamp 13 on the side sealing protection component 6 with the through groove 8 on the clamp 7 of the pipe 1, while simultaneously aligning the fixing core 14 with the mating groove 10. At this point, the clamp 13 can smoothly pass through the through groove 8 and enter the fixing groove 9, initially achieving the positioning of the side sealing protection component 6 and the pipe 1. Subsequently, by screwing on the mounting head 12 on the side sealing protective component 6, the external thread 15 at the end of the fixing core 14 begins to engage with the internal thread 11 at the bottom of the pipe 1. During the threaded connection, the side sealing protective component 6 rotates, and the relative position of the clamp 13 and the through groove 8 deflects. Due to the misalignment between the clamp 13 and the through groove 8, the clamp 13 is firmly held in place by the clamp head 7, forming a mechanical limit. This unique structural design effectively prevents the side sealing protective component 6 from loosening or falling off naturally during transportation bumps and vibrations, thereby tightly sealing the openings at both ends of the steel pipe, preventing foreign objects such as sand and metal fragments from entering the pipe and avoiding scratches on the inner wall of the steel pipe, providing reliable protection for the bearing steel pipe during transportation and relocation. The outer protective structure 4 and the inner protective structure 5 provide long-term protection against oxidation and corrosion for the bearing steel pipe from the perspective of material protection. The outer protective structure 4 consists of an outer anti-oxidation coating 16, an outer bonding layer 17, and an outer anti-corrosion layer 18. The inner protective structure 5 consists of an inner anti-oxidation coating 19, an inner bonding layer 20, and an inner anti-corrosion layer 21. During the production process, the substrate 3 is first placed in an impregnation tank containing an anti-oxidation material slurry. Hot air drying is used to firmly adhere the anti-oxidation material to the inner and outer walls of the substrate 3, forming anti-oxidation coatings (outer anti-oxidation coating 16 and inner anti-oxidation coating 19). The anti-oxidation material forms a dense protective film on the steel surface, isolating oxygen in the air from contact with the steel, effectively slowing down the oxidation process of the steel and preventing rust formation. Subsequently, the substrate 3 is sequentially placed in impregnation tanks containing different slurries to coat the bonding layer (outer bonding layer 17 and inner bonding layer 20) and the anti-corrosion layer (outer anti-corrosion layer 18 and inner anti-corrosion layer 21). By using organic materials for the interlayer, on the one hand, it can block the anti-oxidation materials and anti-corrosion materials, preventing them from reacting chemically due to penetration and affecting the protective performance; on the other hand, the special molecular structure of organic materials can tightly bond with the anti-oxidation coating and anti-corrosion layer, significantly increasing the adhesion between the coatings and preventing the anti-corrosion materials from falling off under long-term storage or external environmental conditions.The anti-corrosion layer uses specialized anti-corrosion materials, effectively resisting the erosion of steel by complex environments such as humidity and acids / alkalis. Whether in high-humidity storage environments or industrial sites with corrosive gases, it provides a robust protective barrier for bearing steel pipes. The outer protective structure 4 and the inner protective structure 5 construct a dual-protection system from the outer and inner walls of the steel pipe, respectively. Through the synergistic effect of anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion materials and the bonding layer, the anti-aging and anti-corrosion capabilities of the bearing steel pipe are significantly improved, extending its storage time and ensuring that the bearing steel pipe maintains good material properties even after long-term storage, laying a solid foundation for the production of high-quality bearings.
