[0003] The lathe spindle holds the workpiece in place. During machining, cutting fluid is sprayed onto the workpiece for cooling and lubrication. This cutting fluid can easily splash onto surrounding components and increase humidity near the lathe. This causes wear on the working surfaces of the outer ring, inner ring, and balls, which experience frequent relative movement, resulting in a shorter bearing lifespan. Therefore, this application proposes a lathe spindle bearing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lathe spindle bearing that solves the problem mentioned in the background art, where the working surfaces of the outer ring, inner ring, and balls are prone to wear due to high humidity near the lathe spindle and frequent relative movement, resulting in a short bearing life.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lathe spindle bearing, comprising an outer ring, an inner ring, and balls, wherein a first storage groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer ring, and a second storage groove is provided on the outer wall of the inner ring, and the balls are located in the first storage groove and the second storage groove; The outer ring is provided with a left sealing cover and a right sealing cover.

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a lathe spindle bearing provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2, and balls 3. A first storage groove 101 is provided on the inner wall of the outer ring 1, and the first storage groove 101 is recessed away from the inner ring 2. A second storage groove 201 is provided on the outer wall of the inner ring 2, and the second storage groove 201 is recessed away from the outer ring 1. The balls 3 are located in the first storage groove 101 and the second storage groove 201.
[0021] In order to ensure that the balls 3 are evenly distributed and to improve the impact resistance of the balls 3, a left retainer 4 and a right retainer 5 are provided between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The left retainer 4 and the right retainer 5 are located on both sides of the balls 3, and the left retainer 4 is provided with a left groove that fits against the outer wall of the balls 3, and the right retainer 5 is provided with a right groove that fits against the outer wall of the balls 3.
[0022] It should be noted that a first through hole is provided in the left retainer 4, a second through hole is provided in the right retainer 5, and a positioning pin 6 is provided between the left retainer 4 and the right retainer 5. One end of the positioning pin 6 passes through the first through hole, and the other end of the positioning pin 6 passes through the second through hole.
[0023] The lathe spindle fixes the workpiece in place. During machining, cutting fluid is sprayed onto the workpiece for cooling and lubrication. This cutting fluid can easily splash onto surrounding components and increase humidity near the lathe. Increased humidity shortens the lifespan of the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and ball bearings 3. To protect the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and ball bearings 3, a left sealing cover 7 and a right sealing cover 8 are provided on the outer ring 1. The left sealing cover 7 has a left storage groove that fits against the side wall of the outer ring 1 and has a first gap between it and the side wall of the inner ring 2. The right sealing cover 8 has a right sealing groove that fits against the side wall of the outer ring 1 and has a second gap between it and the side wall of the inner ring 2. This prevents the left and right sealing covers 7 and 8 from wearing against each other due to the rotation of the inner ring 2, thus ensuring their lifespan.
[0024] Specifically, the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 are fixedly connected by a locking pin 9. The locking pin 9 includes a rod, a head, and a tail. The left sealing cover 7 is provided with an operating groove 701 at the position corresponding to the rod.
[0025] It should be noted that multiple locking pins 9 are provided, and these multiple locking pins 9 are distributed in a circumferential array around the center line of the left sealing cover 7. A retaining ring is provided at the left sealing cover 7, and a retaining groove that mates with the retaining ring is provided inside the right sealing cover 8. The left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 are fixedly connected by the locking pins 9. The locking pins 9 need to be inserted into the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8. The insertion of the locking pins 9 requires pressure from an auxiliary component. Therefore, an operating groove 701 is provided on the left sealing cover 7 to facilitate the application of force by tools. The minimum dimension between the operating groove 701 and the right sealing cover 8 needs to be smaller than the minimum dimension between the end of the locking pin 9 furthest from the right sealing cover 8 and the right sealing cover 8. This ensures that the locking pin 9 can ultimately abut against the left sealing cover 7.
[0026] Specifically, the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 surround a sealing cavity for storing the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2, and the corresponding ball 3 is also inside it. Lubricating grease is introduced into the sealing cavity. The right sealing cover 8 is provided with an injection hole that communicates with the sealing cavity, and a plunger 10 for sealing is provided at the injection hole.
[0027] To seal the sealing cavity, sealing units are provided inside both the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8. Each sealing unit includes a first sealing component 11 and a second sealing component 12. Both the first sealing component 11 and the second sealing component 12 use sealing rings, with the diameter of the first sealing component 11 being larger than that of the second sealing component 12. The left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 are positioned outside the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2, respectively. The sealing cavity formed by the connection of the left and right sealing covers 7 and 8 surrounds the outer ring 1, the inner ring 2, and the ball bearing 3, isolating the areas where they move relative to each other. This better protects the working surfaces of the outer ring 1, the inner ring 2, and the ball bearing 3. Simultaneously, grease is introduced into the sealing cavity to lubricate and seal the ball bearing 3 and other components, extending the service life of the outer ring 1, the inner ring 2, and the ball bearing 3 within the lathe.
[0028] It should be noted that the inner diameter of the left sealing cover 7 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner ring 2, and the inner diameter of the right sealing cover 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner ring 2. This can prevent the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 from obstructing the inner ring 2 when it is connected to the spindle.
[0029] In summary, this utility model provides a lathe spindle bearing. A left sealing cover 7 and a right sealing cover 8 are provided on the outer sides of the outer ring 1 and inner ring 2. The sealing cavity formed by the connection of the left and right sealing covers 7 and 8 can surround the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and balls 3, isolating the areas where the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and balls 3 move relative to each other. This better protects the working surfaces of the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and balls 3. Simultaneously, grease is introduced into the sealing cavity to lubricate and seal the balls 3 and other components, extending the service life of the outer ring 1, inner ring 2, and balls 3 in the lathe.
[0030] The left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8 are fixedly connected by a locking pin 9. The locking pin 9 needs to be inserted into the left sealing cover 7 and the right sealing cover 8. The insertion of the locking pin 9 requires pressure from an auxiliary component. Therefore, an operating groove 701 is provided on the left sealing cover 7 to facilitate the application of force by tools.
[0031] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
