Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parallelism measurement technology for three-row column bearings, specifically a portable tool for measuring the parallelism of the end face of a slewing bearing. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of equipment such as offshore platforms and ultra-large cruise ships, the demand for single-point mooring systems at sea has increased dramatically. Single-point mooring allows platforms and ships to freely rotate around a single mooring point as prevailing winds and sea conditions change, placing the moored vessel in a position of minimum wind, wave, and current coupling resistance and a relatively safe environment. The key component enabling this free rotation is the large slewing bearing.
[0003] The slewing bearing (three-row cylindrical roller type) of a single-point mooring system is prone to large stress and deformation under the coupled action of axial load, overturning moment and radial load. Therefore, the parallelism of the bearing end face is required during installation to avoid bearing deformation, which would affect the safety and reliability of the single-point mooring system.
[0004] The service life of a slewing bearing determines the service life of a mooring system, and the parallelism of the slewing bearing end face is crucial for bearing installation and use. Previously, measuring the parallelism of finished bearing end faces required placing the bearing's reference end face on a horizontal platform, pointing a dial indicator at the bearing end face, rotating the bearing one revolution, and recording the maximum and minimum readings. The difference between the maximum and minimum readings on the dial indicator gave the bearing end face flatness. This measurement process was difficult due to issues such as the large diameter and weight of the bearing, the demanding equipment and personnel requirements for rotating the bearing, and the difficulty in selecting the correct dial indicator support position. To address these problems, a portable fixture for measuring the parallelism of slewing bearing end faces was designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable fixture for measuring the parallelism of the end face of a slewing bearing. It solves the problems of traditional methods requiring the rotation of massive bearings weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, which are extremely difficult and dangerous to operate. This application transforms the object of operation from the enormous bearing to a lightweight fixture, realizing mobile parallelism measurement and completely solving the operational difficulties caused by the rotation of large components.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a portable tooling for measuring the parallelism of the end face of a slewing bearing, comprising a dial indicator, a round-headed support column, and a portal frame; the dial indicator needle contacts the inner ring of the three-row column bearing; the round-headed support column contacts the outer ring of the three-row column bearing; one end of the portal frame is operably associated with the dial indicator, and the other end is operably associated with the round-headed support column.
[0007] Furthermore, the portal frame is provided with a handle, which is operably associated with the portal frame; the handle is used to support the portal frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the dial indicator is fixed to the other end of the portal frame by tightening screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the round-headed support column is fixed to one end of the portal frame by tightening screws.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the round-headed support that contacts the outer ring of the three-row column bearing has a frustum-shaped structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the tail end of the round-headed support column is provided with a thread, which cooperates with one end of the portal frame to adjust the distance between the head end of the round-headed support column and the outer ring end face of the three-row column bearing.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention: Traditional methods require rotating massive bearings weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, making operation extremely difficult and dangerous. This fixture, through its innovative design, integrates the measuring reference (horizontal platform) and dial indicator into a portable frame. During measurement, simply fix the fixture to the bearing end face, and a full rotation of the fixture body completes one revolution of measurement. This transforms the object of operation from a massive bearing to a lightweight fixture, enabling mobile and precise measurement, and completely solving the operational difficulties caused by rotating large components.

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0015] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a portable fixture for measuring the parallelism of the end face of a slewing bearing according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a dial indicator 100, a round-headed support column 200, and a portal frame 300; the needle of the dial indicator 100 is in contact with the inner ring of the three-row column bearing; the round-headed support column 200 is in contact with the outer ring of the three-row column bearing; one end of the portal frame 300 is operably associated with the dial indicator 100, and the other end is operably associated with the round-headed support column 200.
[0016] It should be noted that the portal frame 300 can be replaced with a size that is appropriate for the size of the bearing.
[0017] In one embodiment, the portal frame 300 is provided with a handle 310, which is operatively associated with the portal frame 300; the handle 310 is used to support the portal frame 300.
[0018] In one embodiment, the dial indicator 100 is fixed to the other end of the portal frame 300 by tightening screws 400.
[0019] In one embodiment, the round-headed support column 200 is fixed to one end of the portal frame 300 by tightening screws 400.
[0020] In one embodiment, the head end 210 of the round-headed support 200 that contacts the outer ring of the three-row column bearing has a frustum-shaped structure.
[0021] In one embodiment, the head end 220 of the round-headed support column 200 is provided with threads, which cooperate with one end of the portal frame 300 to adjust the distance between the head end 210 of the round-headed support column 200 and the outer ring end face of the three-row column bearing.
[0022] The aforementioned portable fixture for measuring the parallelism of a slewing bearing end face is used to adjust the vertical distance of the round-headed support column 200, place the fixture on the bearing end face, move the fixture, and determine the bearing end face parallelism by reading the dial indicator 100.
[0023] To facilitate the measurement of bearing end face parallelism and reduce the need for lifting and rotating the bearing during measurement, this invention provides a portable fixture for measuring the end face parallelism of a slewing bearing. This fixture reduces the lifting and rotating process of the bearing by adjusting the vertical distance of the round-headed support column 200. The fixture is placed on the bearing end face and moved one revolution. The maximum and minimum readings of the dial indicator are read. The difference between the maximum and minimum readings is the flatness of the bearing end face.
[0024] The method is as follows: First, place the bearing ring on the machining platform. After the workpiece is placed horizontally, adjust the relative position of the gantry frame and the bearing. After the relative distance is reasonable, install the round head support and fix the round head support 200 by tightening the screw 400. Install the dial indicator 100 on the other side of the gantry frame, with the dial indicator 100 probe pointing to the bearing end face. Adjust the dial indicator 100 pointer to a suitable reading range, press the pointer in 2-3 turns, then align the pointer to zero. Rotate the fixture and read the maximum and minimum values of the dial indicator 100. The maximum value of the pointer represents the maximum outward offset of the bearing end face from the standard point. The minimum value of the pointer represents the sum of the inward and outward offsets of the maximum inward offset of the bearing end face from the standard point. This sum is the parallelism of the bearing end face. The reading method is: the maximum value of the pointer minus the minimum value of the pointer.
