AI Technical Summary
Existing cylindrical roller bearings exhibit excellent performance in transmission systems where radial loads are predominant.

The central raceway is filled with cylindrical rollers, while the side raceways are filled with ball rollers. Combining the advantages of cylindrical rollers and ball rollers, it achieves stable bearing capacity for composite loads. The design of the outer ring groove, inner ring flange, and cage ensures lubrication and positioning effects.
It improves the radial load-bearing capacity of the bearing, simplifies the assembly process, reduces installation space, avoids coaxiality deviation, and improves overall accuracy and service life.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearings, and in particular to a combined bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings are crucial components used for rotating support in mechanical bodies. Their performance directly determines the operating accuracy, stability, and service life of equipment. Among them, cylindrical roller bearings, due to their line contact structure between the rollers and raceways, possess excellent radial load-bearing capacity, low friction coefficient, and low temperature rise during high-speed operation. They are widely used in transmission systems where radial loads are dominant. However, due to structural design limitations, the rollers and raceways of cylindrical roller bearings can only transmit radial force, which is not efficient. Therefore, in some scenarios where radial bearings are required to withstand axial loads, angular contact ball bearings are often used. Through the angular contact structure between the rollers and raceways, they can simultaneously withstand radial and axial loads. However, because the rollers and raceways of ball bearings are in point contact, their radial load-bearing capacity is much lower than that of cylindrical roller bearings, and they are prone to excessive contact stress under heavy-load conditions. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a combined bearing that can withstand large radial loads and a certain axial load.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a combined bearing, including an outer ring and an inner ring, with a first raceway and two second raceways forming an axial gap between the outer ring and the inner ring. The first raceway is located in the middle, and the two second raceways are respectively located on both sides of the first raceway along the axial direction. The first raceway is fully filled with a plurality of cylindrical rollers, and the second raceways are filled with a plurality of ball rollers.
[0005] The advantages of the above technical solution are as follows: By axially spacing the first raceway in the middle and the second raceways on both sides, and then installing cylindrical rollers and ball rollers respectively, on the one hand, the cylindrical rollers fully loaded in the first raceway can give full play to their line contact bearing advantage, greatly improving the overall radial load bearing capacity of the bearing and meeting the radial support requirements under heavy load scenarios. On the other hand, the ball rollers on both sides can bear the axial load, realizing the synchronous and stable bearing of the composite load. On the other hand, by integrating the radial bearing structure and the axial bearing structure between the same outer ring and inner ring, there is no need to add multiple sets of bearings. This not only significantly simplifies the bearing assembly process of the equipment, but also greatly reduces the axial installation space, while avoiding the coaxiality deviation problem when multiple bearings are combined, thus improving the overall accuracy.
[0006] The present invention can be further configured such that: an annular groove is provided at the position of the outer ring corresponding to the first raceway, the inner walls on both sides of the annular groove abut against the two ends of the cylindrical roller respectively, and an oil groove is provided at the corner of the annular groove.
[0007] By further configuring the annular groove at the first raceway of the outer ring and the oil groove at the corner of the inner wall, on the one hand, the inner wall of the annular groove on both sides of the axial direction abuts against the end of the cylindrical roller, which can play an axial limiting role for the cylindrical roller. On the other hand, the oil groove at the corner of the inner wall of the annular groove can effectively store lubricating oil, ensuring the lubrication of the cylindrical roller and ensuring the reliability of the bearing operation.
[0008] The present invention can be further configured such that: the inner ring is provided with retaining edges on both sides corresponding to the axial direction of the first raceway, and the retaining edges are spaced apart from the cylindrical rollers.
[0009] By further configuring the flange, on the one hand, the flange can axially limit the cylindrical roller from the inner ring side, preventing the cylindrical roller from axially moving or leaving the raceway when it is running at high speed or under impact load. On the other hand, the spacing between the flange and the cylindrical roller can avoid direct contact between the two and generate additional friction, which also reduces friction loss and temperature rise, ensuring the overall service life of the bearing.
[0010] The present invention can be further configured such that: a retainer for spacing and guiding the ball rollers is provided at the second raceway, the retainer including an annular frame, a number of protrusions and a number of pockets, the number of protrusions being arranged at intervals along the frame and extending axially, and the pockets being formed by the protrusions at intervals.
[0011] By further refining the design, a retainer is installed at the second raceway, and the retainer is configured to have a frame, several protrusions, and several pockets. The protrusions are spaced apart to form pockets, which can ensure the guiding and spacing effects while occupying less space and avoiding interference.
[0012] The present invention can be further configured such that: the retainer includes an abutting portion located near the inner ring of the pocket, the abutting portion is semi-circular and extends from the end of one side of the protrusion to the end of the other side of the protrusion, and the cross-section of the abutting portion is tapered towards the end.
[0013] By further designing the contact section and making it tapered, the contact area between the contact section and the ball is reduced, thus lowering the frictional resistance between them. This prevents excessive heat generated by friction during high-speed operation, which could lead to abnormal temperature rise. Furthermore, the conical surface guides the lubricating oil to converge in the contact area between the ball and the raceway, enhancing the lubrication effect and solving the problem of insufficient lubrication in certain areas under high-speed conditions.
