Description

The single-row ball type slewing bearing of elliptic roller track and processing method thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of single-row ball type slewing bearing and processing method thereof with elliptic roller track.

Background technique

Pivoting support is as the important foundation element of engineering machinery and building machinery, it is the mechanical necessary important force transfer element that needs to do to turn round relatively, need to bear simultaneously again axial force, radial force, tilting moment between all two-part, except that be excavator, tower crane, mobile crane and all kinds of hoist supporting, also be widely used in light industry and machinery, harbour machinery, metallurgical machinery, medical machinery, industrial robot, rock tunnel(ling) machine, stacker-reclaimer, recreation equipment, missile launcher, radar antenna etc.Pivoting support is divided into four big classes by its structural type: single-row ball type, three organ timbering formulas, decussation roller formula, double ball formula.The raceway central diameter 2 meters with interior pivoting support, first-selected pattern is a single-row ball type, at present single-row ball type accounts for more than 90% of market.The raceway pattern of now general single-row ball type slewing bearing is the two centers of circle (seeing accompanying drawing 1) of two circular arcs for peach shape is, R/r＞1, raceway symmetry up and down.Raceway quenching hardness, depth of hardening zone, raceway radius of curvature and wrapping angle are to influence the bearing capacity of peach shape raceway pivoting support and four important parameters in working life.The raceway quenching hardness is subjected to the restriction of steel ball surface hardness can only be 55～60HRC, and is limited from the effect of this respect raising bearing capacity; As long as depth of hardening zone is deepened depth of hardening zone except meeting improves the quenching cost greater than specified value, can not aspect the raising bearing capacity big effect arranged; Wrapping angle increases the possibility that can increase raceway limit mouth conquassation, also should not improve the bearing capacity of pivoting support by the method that increases wrapping angle; The ratio of raceway radius of curvature and steel ball radius is generally 1.04～1.08, and the more little bearing capacity of ratio is big more, but the control difficulty of the more little raceway accuracy to shape of ratio is big more.Under the existing processes condition, can not improve the bearing capacity of pivoting support by the method that reduces the raceway ratio of curvature.

Summary of the invention

The object of the invention provides a kind of raising raceway bearing capacity, and then improves the service behaviour of pivoting support and the single-row ball type slewing bearing and the processing method thereof of the elliptic roller track in life-span.

The single-row ball type slewing bearing of elliptic roller track of the present invention is design like this.Change the raceway pattern of single-row ball type slewing bearing into ellipse, the major semi axis of elliptic roller track, semi-minor axis parameter can calculate according to the radius of curvature and the wrapping angle of steel ball radius of curvature, raceway and steel ball point of contact.The major semi axis of elliptic roller track, semi-minor axis formula are as follows:

$a=\frac{2r\·{\sin }^2\mathrm{\β}\sqrt{t}}{2-2t\·{\cos }^2\mathrm{\β}}$

$b=\sqrt{\frac{{2r}^2{\sin }^2\mathrm{\β}}{2-2t\·{\cos }^2\mathrm{\β}}}$

In the following formula: a---the major semi axis of elliptic roller track;

The semi-minor axis of b---elliptic roller track;

R---steel ball radius of curvature;

The ratio of the radius of curvature R of t---raceway and steel ball point of contact and steel ball radius of curvature r, R/r;

The wrapping angle of β---steel ball and raceway.

Parametric t, β can choose by rule of thumb, and general ratio of curvature t span is: 1.02～1.10, and wrapping angle β span is 35 °～50 °.

The processing of the single-row ball type slewing bearing of elliptic roller track:

(1), adopt numerically controlled lathe that elliptic roller track is carried out semi finishing according to the major semi axis a, the semi-minor axis b that calculate resulting elliptic roller track;

(2) step frequency induction hardening during raceway quenches and adopts;

(3) use numerical control raceway special purpose grinder elliptic roller track is formed grinding.

Studies show that, make peach shape raceway into ellipse, the raceway accuracy to shape is more easy to control, and because elliptic roller track is the raceway of variable curvature, when wrapping angle changed, the raceway curvature of point of contact was made corresponding change, therefore can improve the contact stress state of steel ball and raceway, improve the raceway bearing capacity, and then improve the service behaviour and the life-span of pivoting support.After adopting elliptic roller track, under the identical situation of raceway quenching hardness, depth of hardening zone and wrapping angle, the bearing capacity of pivoting support can improve 33%.

Fig. 2 is the elliptic roller track shape schematic representation of single-row ball type slewing bearing of the present invention.

Embodiment

As can be seen from Figure 2, the raceway pattern of single-row ball type slewing bearing is designed to ellipse.When the raceway parameter value of single-row ball type slewing bearing is: the raceway radius of curvature of steel ball radius of curvature r=9.922mm, point of contact and the ratio t=1.04 of steel ball radius of curvature and wrapping angle β=50 °.According to following formula:

$a=\frac{2r\·{\sin }^2\mathrm{\β}\sqrt{t}}{2-2t\·{\cos }^2\mathrm{\β}}$

$b=\sqrt{\frac{{2r}^2{\sin }^2\mathrm{\β}}{2-2t\·{\cos }^2\mathrm{\β}}}$

Obtain major semi axis a=10.412mm, the semi-minor axis b=10.065mm of elliptic roller track

According to the above size that calculates, at first be to use numerically controlled lathe to carry out the semi finishing of the oval raceway of this kind.The raceway curve form rule of numerical control turning, low, the raceway limit mouth circular arc chamfering radius unanimity of surface roughness, and with the roller surface smooth connection.The raceway curved surface of rule makes depth of hardening zone evenly become possibility, and " sharp angle effect " the when chamfering of smooth connection has been avoided quenching eradicated the defective of raceway limit mouth easy hardening crack.The elliptic roller track curved surface of numerical control turning removes rough surface and is outside one's consideration, and the raceway curved surface after all the other sizes and the grinding is in full accord, so the grinding allowance of raceway is very little.

Use the method for Frequency Induction Heating then semi-finished elliptic roller track is carried out the surface heat processing, quenching hardness is 55～60HRC, and depth of hardening zone is greater than 2.8mm.

At last the elliptic roller track after the tempering is formed grinding.The most important thing is grinding wheel dressing in the form grinding, the three-coordinate linkage that utilizes numerical control raceway special purpose grinder can reach good effect by the finishing moulding of program control emery wheel.Avoided tool setting and be similar to finishing and the error of generation from principle, raceway shape and original wrapping angle are effectively guaranteed.The position control accuracy of numerical control raceway special purpose grinder can satisfy the microfeed in the grinding, improves the machining accuracy of raceway.
