Description

铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承
本申请要求2014年3月28日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410123959.4、发明名称为“铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及轴承领域,特别是涉及一种铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承(Cylindrical Roller Bearing,简称CRB)。

如图1所示,现有一种铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承包括:沿轴向的两端均设有挡边1a的内圈1;设在内圈1外的外圈2;位于内圈1和外圈2之间的两列圆柱滚子3,圆柱滚子3可与外圈2一起相对内圈1沿轴向移动,外圈2位于中间位置时,每列圆柱滚子3和邻近的挡边1a之间均存在轴向间隙S;用于密封轴承、防止润滑剂从轴承内部泄漏的环形密封罩4,环形密封罩4的一个周缘固定于外圈2上、另一周缘位于挡边1a的径向外侧并与挡边1a之间存在径向间隙,使得由环形密封罩4实现的密封为非接触式密封。
轴承工作时,结合图1和图2所示,外圈2可以相对内圈1从中间位置沿轴向向左移动,直至到达左极限位置;结合图1和图3所示,外圈2也可以相对内圈1从中间位置沿轴向向右移动,直至到达右极限位置。
随着铁路领域的技术发展,要求铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承的轴向位移越来越大。若继续采用上述密封式圆柱滚子轴承结构,会出现以下问题:如图2和图3中的A区域所示,由于外圈2相对内圈1沿轴向移动时,外圈1会带着环形密封罩4一起相对挡边1a移动,故会导致外圈2相对内圈1移动至左极限或右极限位置时,挡边1a完全位于环形密封罩4之外,即两者沿径向无正对面积,造成环形密封罩4与挡边1a之间存在较大间隙,该间隙会引起泵效应(pumping  effect),致使润滑剂泄漏、以及外界污染物进入轴承内,进而降低轴承的寿命。
发明内容
本发明要解决的问题是:现有铁路用密封式圆柱滚子轴承在外圈轴向位移较大时,密封效果不佳。

可选的,所述第二密封罩具有:固设于所述挡边的外圆周面上的第一侧壁、以及与第一侧壁间隔设置并位于所述第一侧壁径向外侧的第二侧壁,所述第一密封罩与所述第二侧壁之间存在所述径向间隙。

所述第一侧壁、第二侧壁、底壁共同围成环绕所述挡边的环形凹槽,所述环形凹槽的开口面向所述滚子。
可选的,所述第一密封罩包括延伸至轴承轴向外侧并在径向上位于所述内圈和外圈之间的自由壁,所述自由壁与所述第二侧壁之间存 在所述径向间隙。
可选的,所述第二侧壁位于所述自由壁径向内侧。
可选的,所述第二侧壁位于所述自由壁径向外侧。
可选的,所述底壁沿径向延伸并位于所述内圈轴向外侧。
可选的,所述自由壁、第一侧壁、第二侧壁均沿轴向延伸。
可选的,所述第一侧壁沿轴向比第二侧壁更靠近所述滚子。
可选的,所述径向间隙的最大值大于0小于等于1mm。
与现有技术相比,本发明的技术方案具有以下优点:
外圈相对内圈沿轴向移动时,固设于外圈上的第一密封罩和固设于内圈的挡边上的第二密封罩沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙,使得即使在轴承具有较大轴向位移的情况下,也能够在第一密封罩和第二密封罩的共同作用下实现轴承的非接触式密封,防止了润滑剂泄漏、以及外界污染物进入轴承内,进而延长了轴承的寿命。

在本实施例中,第二密封罩60具有:固设于挡边11的外圆周面110上的第一侧壁62,第一侧壁62沿轴向延伸;与第一侧壁62间隔设置并位于第一侧壁62径向外侧的第二侧壁63,第二侧壁63沿轴向延伸,且沿轴向比第一侧壁62更远离滚子30;连接第一侧壁62 和第二侧壁63的底壁64,底壁64沿径向延伸并位于内圈10轴向外侧。第一侧壁62、第二侧壁63、底壁64共同围成环绕挡边11的环形凹槽61,环形凹槽61的开口面向滚子30。故在本实施例中,第二密封罩60的纵截面大体呈U型。
轴承工作时,外圈20会带着滚子30一起相对内圈10沿轴向移动。结合图4和图5所示,外圈20相对内圈10从中间位置向左极限位置或从左极限位置向中间位置沿轴向移动的过程中,第一密封罩50的自由壁53和第二密封罩60的第二侧壁63沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙;
结合图4和图6所示,外圈20相对内圈10从中间位置向右极限位置或从右极限位置向中间位置沿轴向移动的过程中,第一密封罩50的自由壁53和第二密封罩60的第二侧壁63沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙。
由上述轴承的工作过程可知,在外圈20相对内圈10沿轴向移动至任何位置时,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60沿径向均具有正对面积且存在径向间隙。
与现有技术相比,本实施例的技术方案具有以下优点:外圈相对内圈沿轴向移动时,固设于外圈上的第一密封罩和固设于内圈的挡边上的第二密封罩沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙,使得即使在轴承具有较大轴向位移的情况下,也能够在第一密封罩和第二密封罩的共同作用下实现轴承的非接触式密封,防止了润滑剂泄漏、以及外界污染物进入轴承内,进而延长了轴承的寿命。
需说明的是,在本实施例的技术方案中,第一密封罩50、第二密封罩60的形状均不应仅局限于上面所述,只要保证在外圈20相对内圈10沿轴向移动时,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙即可。
需说明的是,在本发明中,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间 的径向间隙是指:第二密封罩60中沿径向距离第一密封罩50最近的部分与第一密封罩50之间的间隔,所述最近的部分与第一密封罩50沿径向具有正对面积。第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙可以沿轴承轴向保持不变,也可以沿轴承轴向变化。具体到本实施例中,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙位于挡边11的外圆周面110的径向外侧,并沿轴承轴向保持不变。
由上述可知,如图4所示,在本实施例中,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙与挡边11的外圆周面110之间存在距离,与现有技术相比,所述径向间隙在轴承径向方向上距离挡边11更远,使得润滑剂更不容易泄漏、外界污染物更不容易进入轴承内,进而能够延长轴承的寿命。
在本实施例中,经研究发现,当第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙大于0小于等于1mm时,轴承具有良好的密封效果。
在其他实施例中,第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙也可以沿轴承轴向变化。在这种情况下,在第一密封罩50和第二密封罩60之间的最大径向间隙大于0小于等于1mm时,轴承具有良好的密封效果。
在本实施例中,通过在第二密封罩60中设置面向滚子30的环形凹槽61,增大了轴承内的润滑剂储存量,使得润滑剂不容易从第一密封罩50与第二密封罩60之间的径向间隙泄漏。在其他实施例中,第二密封罩60中也可以不设置环形凹槽61。
另外,在本实施例的变换例中,第一密封罩中也可以设置环绕挡边的环形凹槽,第一密封罩的环形凹槽的开口面向滚子并与轴承的内腔连通。通过在第一密封罩中设置上述环形凹槽,同样也可以达到增大轴承内的润滑剂储存量的目的。
在本实施例中,通过使第一侧壁62沿内圈10轴向比第二侧壁63更靠近滚子30,一方面可以将第一侧壁62的更多部分固定在挡边 11上,使得第二密封罩60更为牢靠地固设于挡边11上;另一方面,也可以使得在外圈20相对内圈10位于左极限位置(图5所示)或右极限位置(图6所示)时,在更靠近滚子30的第二密封罩60的第一侧壁62伸入保持架40内的同时,防止了第二侧壁63与保持架40发生干涉。
在其他实施例中,第一侧壁62、第二侧壁63沿内圈10轴向与滚子30之间的距离也可以相等。
在本实施例中,第一密封罩50固设于外圈20的外圆周面和轴向端面上。在其他实施例中,第一密封罩50也可以固设于外圈20上的其他位置。
在本实施例中,第二密封罩60固设于挡边11的外圆周面110上。在其他实施例中,第二密封罩60也可以固设于挡边11上的其他位置。
在本实施例中,第一密封罩50与外圈20过盈配合使得第一密封罩50固设于外圈20上。在其他实施例中,也可以其他方式使第一密封罩50固设于外圈20上。
在本实施例中,第二密封罩60与挡边11过盈配合使得第二密封罩60固设于挡边11上。在其他实施例中,也可以其他方式使第二密封罩60固设于挡边11上。
第二实施例
第二实施例与第一实施例之间的区别在于:第一密封罩的自由壁和第二密封罩的第二侧壁在径向上的相对位置关系。
在第一实施例中,参考图4所示,第二密封罩60的第二侧壁63始终位于第一密封罩50的自由壁53的径向内侧;而在第二实施例中,参考图7所示,第二密封罩60的第二侧壁63始终位于第一密封罩50的自由壁53的径向外侧。
在第二实施例的技术方案中,在外圈20相对内圈10沿轴向移动 时,第一密封罩50的自由壁53始终可移动地位于第二密封罩60的环形凹槽61内,使得第一密封罩50与第二密封罩60沿径向始终具有正对面积且存在径向间隙,因而即使在轴承具有较大轴向位移的情况下,也能够在第一密封罩和第二密封罩的共同作用下实现轴承的非接触式密封。
在本实施例中,通过在第二密封罩60设置面向滚子30的环形凹槽61,增大了轴承内的润滑剂储存量。
本发明中,各实施例采用递进式写法,重点描述与前述实施例的不同之处,各实施例中的相同部分可以参照前述实施例。
虽然本发明披露如上,但本发明并非限定于此。任何本领域技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与修改,因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。
