The invention relates to the technical field of aero-engine bearing cooling, in particular to a
ball bearing with an S-shaped cooling structure and a bearing cooling and lubricating method. Comprising a bearing inner ring, a bearing outer ring, a
retainer and a plurality of balls, the bearing inner ring, the bearing outer ring and the
retainer are coaxially arranged in the bearing, the balls are circumferentially distributed on the
retainer, a plurality of S-shaped cooling flow channels which are not communicated with one another are arranged in the bearing outer ring, and through the S-shaped cooling flow channels arranged in the bearing outer ring, independent cooling and heat exchange of the
ball bearing outer ring can be achieved; the situation that the outer ring of the
ball bearing is insufficiently cooled in a traditional cooling scheme is effectively improved, so that the consumption of sprayed cooling lubricating oil is remarkably reduced, the
viscous friction loss of lubricating oil in a bearing cavity is reduced, efficient cooling of the interior of the bearing is achieved, and the service life of the bearing is further prolonged. And meanwhile, the multiple S-shaped cooling flow channels which are not communicated with one another can effectively reduce
fluid pressure loss. According to the method, the temperature of the bearing structure can be effectively controlled, meanwhile, the
viscous friction loss of the bearing fluid is reduced, and efficient cooling of the interior of the bearing is achieved.
