Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of combined bearing technology, specifically a full complement ball-and-column combined bearing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, full complement ball-and-spindle bearings lack cages to separate the rolling elements (rollers or balls). The rolling elements are in direct contact, rubbing and sliding against each other. This leads to significant frictional heat and wear, especially at high speeds. High frictional resistance results in greater energy consumption. Rapid and high temperature rise easily leads to lubrication failure (oil film rupture, grease loss / coking) and bearing overheating failure (such as burning or seizing). Furthermore, the limiting speed of caged bearings cannot be reached.

[0003] The bearing ring structure of full complement ball-and-roll bearings is unique. During assembly, it is necessary to consider how to assemble the rolling elements without a cage, the installation methods for the spring washers and swivel rings, and how to tighten the bolts after the steel balls are installed to ensure the screw end face is tangent to the bottom of the raceway. Therefore, research on the assembly method for this type of bearing is imperative. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a full complement ball-and-roll combination bearing, which can reasonably arrange the bearing assembly process and effectively solve problems such as how to assemble the rolling elements without a cage, how to install the spring washers and rotating rings, and how to tighten the bolts after the steel balls are installed to ensure that the end face of the screw is tangent to the bottom of the raceway.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a full complement ball-and-roll bearing, comprising an outer ring, an inner ring, a first row of rolling elements, a second row of rolling elements, steel balls, a first flange, and a second flange. The outer ring has a stepped outer ring surface at its tail end and a ball-loading hole. The inner ring has a stepped inner ring surface at its tail end, and the inner ring and outer ring are interlocked. The first row of rolling elements is disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The second row of rolling elements is disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The steel balls are disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring, with one end of each steel ball having a first row of rolling elements and the other end having a second row of rolling elements. The steel balls are loaded into the bearing through the ball-loading hole. The first flange contacts the stepped outer ring surface, and the second flange contacts the stepped inner ring surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer ring stepped surface is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, close to the end face of the outer ring, and the outer ring stepped surface is used to limit the first flange.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner ring stepped surface is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring, close to the end face of the inner ring, and the inner ring stepped surface is used to limit the second flange.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer ring is provided with two rows of cylindrical raceways, steel ball raceways, and three sealing grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, two rotating rings are provided between the inner wall end of the outer ring and the outer wall end of the inner ring; a rotating ring is provided between the inner wall end of the outer ring and the outer wall end of the inner ring, and the rotating ring is placed in the sealing groove to seal the bearing cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the steel ball raceway is a double-row raceway, the steel balls are in double rows, one row of steel balls is placed in one row of the steel ball raceway, and the ball loading hole is correspondingly arranged with the steel ball raceway.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes bolts operably associated with the ball-filling hole, the bolts being used to seal the ball-filling hole and limit the movement of the first flange and the second flange.

[0012] Furthermore, the bolt is fitted with the outer ring via a sealing washer, and a spring washer is provided between the head of the bolt and the sealing washer.

[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second rows of rolling elements are cylindrical rollers.

[0014] The assembly method of the full complement ball-and-spindle bearing includes the following steps:

[0015] S100. Place the rotating ring into the sealing groove;

[0016] S200, place the outer ring with the tail end facing down on a horizontal platform;

[0017] S300. Insert the first flange and the second flange downwards from the head end of the outer ring onto the outside of the outer ring, so that the first flange contacts the stepped surface of the outer ring, and the second flange contacts the first flange.

[0018] S400: Apply grease to the outer surfaces of the first and second rows of rolling elements to secure them within the cylindrical raceway.

[0019] S500: Press the beginning of the inner ring downwards into the outer ring from the beginning of the outer ring;

[0020] S600, clean the raceway grease;

[0021] S700: Load the steel balls into the steel ball raceway sequentially through the loading holes;

[0022] After the S800 steel ball is installed, move the second flange to contact the inner ring step surface;

[0023] S900. Insert the sealing gasket and spring washer into the ball filling hole, and plug the ball filling hole with bolts.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The full complement ball-and-roll composite bearing of this application highly focuses on radial load capacity, structural compactness, and tolerance to harsh working conditions (heavy load, impact, vibration). Essentially, it sacrifices the limiting speed and increases frictional heat generation in exchange for the ability to withstand extreme loads at low or medium speeds and the maximum load-bearing efficiency within a limited space. It allows for a rational arrangement of the bearing assembly process and effectively solves problems such as how to assemble the rolling elements without a cage, the method of installing spring washers and swivel rings, and how to tighten the bolts after the steel balls are installed to ensure the screw end face is tangent to the bottom of the raceway.

The first row of rolling elements 300... 00 is located between the outer ring and the inner ring; the second row of rolling elements 400 is located between the outer ring 100 and the inner ring 200; the steel ball is located between the outer ring 100 and the inner ring 200, one end of the steel ball 500 is provided with the first row of rolling elements 300, and the other end is provided with the second row of rolling elements 400, and the steel ball is installed into the bearing through the ball loading hole 120; the first flange 600 is in contact with the outer ring step surface 110; the second flange 700 is in contact with the inner ring step surface 210.

[0041] In one embodiment, the outer ring stepped surface 110 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, close to the end face of the outer ring 100, and the outer ring stepped surface 110 is used to limit the first flange 600.

[0043] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the outer ring 100 is provided with two rows of cylindrical raceways 130, steel ball raceways 140 and three sealing grooves 150.

[0044] Furthermore, two rotating rings 800 are provided between the inner end of the outer ring 100 and the outer end of the inner ring 200; a rotating ring 800 is provided between the inner end of the outer ring 100 and the outer end of the inner ring 200, and the rotating ring 800 is placed in the sealing groove 150 to seal the bearing cavity.

[0045] Furthermore, the steel ball raceway 140 is a double-row raceway, and the steel balls are arranged in double rows, with one row of steel balls placed inside the steel ball raceway 140. The ball loading hole 120 is correspondingly set to the steel ball raceway 140.

[0046] In one embodiment, a bolt 900 is also included, which is operatively associated with the ball-filling hole 120 and is used to seal the ball-filling hole 120 and limit the first flange 600 and the second flange 700.

[0047] Furthermore, the bolt 900 engages with the outer ring via a sealing washer 910, and a spring washer 920 is provided between the head of the bolt 900 and the sealing washer 910.

[0048] In one embodiment, both the first row of rolling elements 300 and the second row of rolling elements 400 are cylindrical rollers.

[0049] According to a method for assembling a full complement ball-and-spindle bearing, the steps include:

[0050] S100, Place the rotating ring 800 into the sealing groove 150;

[0051] S200, place the outer ring 100 with the tail end facing down on a horizontal platform;

[0052] S300, Insert the first flange 600 and the second flange 700 downwards from the head end of the outer ring 100, so that the first flange 600 contacts the outer ring step surface 110, and the second flange 700 contacts the first flange 600.

[0053] S400: Apply grease to the outer surfaces of the first row of rolling elements 300 and the second row of rolling elements 400 so that they can be fixed in the cylindrical raceway 130.

[0054] S500, Press the head end of the inner ring 200 downwards into the outer ring from the head end of the outer ring;

[0055] S600, clean the raceway grease;

[0056] S700: Steel balls are sequentially loaded into the steel ball raceway 140 through the ball loading hole 120;

[0057] After S800 and steel ball 500 are installed, move the second flange 700 to contact the inner ring step surface 210;

[0058] S900. Insert the sealing washer 910 and the spring washer 920 into the ball filling hole 120, and plug the ball filling hole 120 with the bolt 900.

[0059] The above-mentioned assembly method for a full complement ball bearing is as follows: First, clean the outer ring, inner ring, steel balls, rolling elements, flange, bolts 900, sealing washers 910, spring washers 920, and rotating rings 800 and set them aside.

[0060] 1. Place the rotating ring 800 in water and heat it to 80-100℃. After it softens slightly, take it out and quickly place it in the sealing groove 150. Use a special tool to make it stable in the groove.

[0061] 2. Place the outer ring of the 800 rotating ring face down on the platform, and place the flange face down on the outer diameter step surface of the outer ring.

[0062] 3. Apply as little visible grease as possible to the outer diameter of the rolling element, just enough to make the surface of the rolling element slightly sticky. This will help the rollers to be placed on the raceway in sequence and to stay in place without falling off.

[0063] 4. Press the inner ring 200 into the outer component. During the pressing process, the end face of the inner ring must be kept parallel to the platform.

[0064] 5. Cleaning the roller grease: The cleaning process is as follows: First cleaning (rotate for 5 minutes) → Second cleaning (rotate for 5 minutes) → Third cleaning (rotate for 3 minutes) → Soak for 24 hours → Pour out the cleaning oil → Air dry for 48 hours.

[0065] 6. Insert the steel balls one by one from the ball loading port. Move the outer ring second flange 700 to the inner ring inner and outer diameter step surface. Insert the sealing gasket 910 and wave spring washer 920 in sequence. Tighten the hexagonal head ball-plugging bolt 900. Adjust the torque wrench to ensure that the torque value is consistent with the torque value during the final grinding of the raceway, ensuring that the screw end face is tangent to the bottom of the outer ring raceway. Before the final grinding of the raceway, tightening the hexagonal head ball-plugging bolt 900 means that the bottom of the ball-plugging bolt 900 is ground along with the raceway. Its bottom and the raceway become a whole and are considered part of the raceway, participating in the grinding. Record the torque value at this time. When tightening the bolt 900 again after assembly, the consistent torque value ensures that the bottom of the hexagonal head ball-plugging bolt 900 is in the same position as during grinding, i.e., tangent to the bottom of the raceway.

[0066] It should be noted that the cleaning process uses gasoline; the "rotation" in the cleaning process is as follows: if the inner ring end face is in contact with the platform, then rotate the outer ring; otherwise, rotate the inner ring.
