Any deviation not only results in poor bearing protection but may also cause bearing damage. Furthermore, the existing bearing protection devices involve cumbersome and inconvenient adjustments to the shaft within the internal cavity, and sometimes even prevent the adjustment of the shaft and bearing position during the protection process.

[0021] See Figure 1-6This invention provides a bearing protection device for a helium compressor. The device includes a bottom support 1, an upper support 2, a lifting structure, a clamping claw 9, an adjusting structure, a flange sleeve 8, an upper flange buckle 7, and a lower flange buckle 4. The upper support 2 is located above the bottom support 1. The lifting structure is located between the bottom support 1 and the upper support 2 and can adjust the distance between them. The adjusting structure can adjust the position of the clamping claw 9 within the upper support 2 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The clamping claw 9 can clamp one end of the flange sleeve 8. Both the upper flange buckle 7 and the lower flange buckle 4 are detachably connected to the other end of the flange sleeve 8.

[0022] This helium compressor uses a bearing protection device. The bottom bracket 1 is supported within the compressor cavity. The lifting structure has a wide vertical lifting range, adjusting the vertical distance between the upper bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 1. The clamping claw 9 is confined within the upper bracket 2 by an adjusting structure, which can also adjust the vertical and horizontal positions of the clamping claw 9 within a smaller range. The upper flange 7 and lower flange 4 are installed on the shaft to restrict bearing displacement. The upper flange 7 and lower flange are connected to the clamping claw 9 via a flange sleeve 8. Adjusting the position of the clamping claw 9 through the adjusting structure allows for adjustment of the bearing position. This bearing protection device for the helium compressor allows for adjustment of the vertical and horizontal positions of the shaft and bearing, solving the problem of cumbersome and inconvenient adjustments to the shaft and bearing within the internal cavity.

[0023] Optionally, the bottom support 1 includes a support frame and a base, with the support frame fixedly disposed above the base, and the base being arc-shaped. The bottom of the bottom support 1 has an arc-shaped base that conforms to the inner wall of the cavity, ensuring the stability of the overall structure within the cavity.

[0024] Optionally, the lifting structure includes a cylindrical pin 33, an upper tube 31, and a lower tube 32. The upper tube 31 is fixedly connected to the upper support 2, and the lower tube 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom support 1. The lower tube 32 slides through the upper tube 31. The upper tube 31 has multiple first pin holes along the vertical direction, and the lower tube 32 has multiple second pin holes along the vertical direction. The cylindrical pin 33 passes through one of the first pin holes and one of the second pin holes. The cylindrical pin 33 passing through different first and second pin holes facilitates a wide range of vertical lifting functions.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper tube 31 and the lower tube 32 have rectangular cross-sections. In other embodiments, the upper tube 31 and the lower tube 32 have circular cross-sections.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper support 2 is a rectangular frame.

[0027] Optionally, the clamping claw 9 includes an upper arm, a lower arm, and a side arm. The upper arm and lower arm are spaced apart vertically, and the two ends of the side arm are fixedly connected to the upper arm and lower arm, respectively. The flange sleeve 8 is clamped between the upper arm, lower arm, and side arm. The upper arm, lower arm, and side arm form a clamping opening, and the flange sleeve 8 contacts the clamping opening of the clamping claw 9 on three sides. This facilitates the clamping claw 9 in clamping the flange sleeve 8 and makes installation convenient.

[0028] Optionally, the adjustment structure includes a first setter screw 11, a second setter screw 10, and a third setter screw 12. The upper support 2 has a first setter screw hole, a second setter screw hole, and a third setter screw hole at its upper end, lower end, and side, respectively. The first setter screw 11 is screwed into the first setter screw hole and abuts against the upper arm of the clamping claw 9. The second setter screw 10 is screwed into the second setter screw hole and abuts against the lower arm of the clamping claw 9.

The first setter screw 11 and the second setter screw 10 can control the clamping claw 9 to move within a small range in the vertical direction, while the third setter screw 12 can control the movement of the clamping claw 9 in the horizontal direction. The first setter screw 11, the second setter screw 10, and the third setter screw 12 can conveniently adjust the position of the clamping claw 9 within a small range, thereby adjusting the bearing position.

[0029] Optionally, there are two first set screws 11 and two first set screw holes, and the two first set screws 11 are screwed into the two first set screw holes respectively. There are two second set screws 10 and two second set screw holes, and the two second set screws 10 are screwed into the two second set screw holes respectively.

[0031] Optionally, the upper flange buckle 7 and the lower flange buckle 4 are connected by a second bolt 5.

[0032] The working principle of the bearing protection device for the helium compressor is as follows: When the bearing position needs to be adjusted, the arc-shaped base of the bottom bracket 1 is fitted against the inner wall of the cavity. The positions of the first pin hole and the corresponding second pin hole in the lifting structure are adjusted, and cylindrical pins 33 are inserted through the first and second pin holes respectively for fixation, thereby limiting the vertical distance between the upper bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 1. The clamping claw 9 and the upper bracket 2 are connected by the first set screw 11, the second set screw 10 and the third set screw 12, and then the flange sleeve 8 is placed into the cavity. The clamping jaws 9 are inserted into the clamping openings of the clamping claws 9. Subsequently, the upper flange buckle 7 and the lower flange buckle 4 are respectively wrapped around the upper and lower parts of the desired position. Then, the upper flange buckle 7 and the lower flange buckle 4 are fixed with bolts and connected to the flange sleeve 8 with bolts. Thus, the first set screw 11, the second set screw 10 and the third set screw 12 adjust the horizontal and vertical positions of the clamping claws 9, thereby adjusting the positions of the flange sleeve 8, the upper flange buckle 7 and the lower flange buckle 4, which facilitates the position adjustment of the bearing and the adjustment of the bearing position during the protection of the bearing.

[0033] Obviously, the above-disclosed embodiments of the present invention are merely for illustrating the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to only the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here.
