下面参照附图描述本发明的示例性实施方式。应当理解，这些具体的说明仅用于示教本领域技术人员如何实施本发明，而不用于穷举本发明的所有可行的方式，也不用于限制本发明的范围。Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

下面参照图3-7说明根据本发明的一个实施方式的推力轴承。该实施方式的推力轴承包括外推力片1、内推力片4、保持架2和滚动体3，其中，滚动体3可以为滚针。本实施方式的推力轴承与图1和2的推力轴承的不同之处主要在于内推力片4带有叶片结构，下面将主要说明本实施方式的推力轴承与图1和2的推力轴承的不同之处。A thrust bearing according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figs. 3-7. The thrust bearing of this embodiment includes an outer thrust piece 1, an inner thrust piece 4, a retainer 2, and a rolling body 3, wherein the rolling body 3 may be a needle roller. The thrust bearing of the present embodiment differs from the thrust bearing of FIGS. 1 and 2 mainly in that the inner thrust piece 4 has a blade structure, and the thrust bearing of the present embodiment will be mainly described below as the thrust bearing of FIGS. 1 and 2.

在一个非限制性的示例中，内推力片4包括金属或金属合金，通过对内推力片4的径向外侧部分41进行冲压而同时形成叶片42和开口43。当然，叶片42和开口43的形成方式不限于此。例如，可以在开口43附近通过焊接等方式附接叶片42。In one non-limiting example, the inner thrust piece 4 includes a metal or metal alloy, and the blade 42 and the opening 43 are simultaneously formed by punching the radially outer portion 41 of the inner thrust piece 4. Of course, the manner in which the blade 42 and the opening 43 are formed is not limited thereto. For example, the blade 42 may be attached by welding or the like in the vicinity of the opening 43.
多个叶片42沿着内推力片4的周向排列。叶片42与内推力片4的径向外侧部分41的其它部分连接的根部大致沿着内推力片4的径向延伸。多个叶片42相对于内推力片4的其它部分的表面(板面)的倾斜方向相同。如图4和5所示，叶片42相对于内推力片4的其它部分的表面(板面)形成的张开角度a可以在适意适当的范围。在一个非限制性的示例中，该张开角度a为大约20度至大约70度。The plurality of blades 42 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner thrust piece 4. The root portion of the blade 42 connected to the other portion of the radially outer portion 41 of the inner thrust piece 4 extends substantially in the radial direction of the inner thrust piece 4.

下面简单说明本实施方式的推力轴承的动作和效果。The operation and effect of the thrust bearing of the present embodiment will be briefly described below.
本发明的推力轴承采用了带叶片结构的内推力片4来加强推力轴承的润滑。随着内推力片4沿图4和5所示的方向R旋转，迎着叶片42和开口43之间的空间(或者说迎着叶片42的内表面421、即叶片42的靠近内推力片4的表面)而来的气流带动油雾通过开口43，以使较多的油滴7进入间隙g，进而进入滚道面。对于浸油润滑，该结构也有加强油液流动的作用。The thrust bearing of the present invention employs an inner thrust piece 4 with a blade structure to enhance the lubrication of the thrust bearing. As the inner thrust piece 4 rotates in the direction R shown in Figs. 4 and 5, it faces the space between the blade 42 and the opening 43 (or against the inner surface 421 of the blade 42, i.e., the inner thrust piece 4 of the blade 42) The resulting airflow causes the oil mist to pass through the opening 43 so that more oil droplets 7 enter the gap g and enter the raceway surface. For oil immersion lubrication, this structure also has the effect of enhancing oil flow.
本发明在一般的平的推力片上增加了叶片结构作为改良。由叶片产生的气压会有助于形成更好的油流。对于油雾润滑，随着推力片的旋转，产生的气流带动油雾通过叶片处的开口，以使较多的油滴进入滚道面。从而有利于轴承滚道面形成油膜，增强润滑功能。The present invention adds a blade structure to the general flat thrust piece as an improvement. The air pressure generated by the blades will help to create a better oil flow. For oil mist lubrication, as the thrust piece rotates, the generated air flow drives the oil mist through the opening at the blade to allow more oil droplets to enter the raceway surface. Therefore, it is advantageous to form an oil film on the raceway surface of the bearing and enhance the lubrication function.
在本发明的推力轴承中，推力片上形成有叶片，利用叶片进行主动润滑，增强了油流。在不改变推力轴承的其他组件的情况下，可以改善推力轴承自身的润滑条件。In the thrust bearing of the present invention, blades are formed on the thrust piece, and the blades are used for active lubrication to enhance the oil flow. The lubrication condition of the thrust bearing itself can be improved without changing the other components of the thrust bearing.
应当理解，上述实施方式仅是示例性的，不用于限制本发明。本领域技术人员可以在本发明的教导下对上述实施方式作出各种变型和改变，而不脱离本发明的范围。It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the invention. A person skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
(1)在上述实施方式中，滚动体3为滚针。然而，滚动体3还可以是滚柱或球等。 (1) In the above embodiment, the rolling elements 3 are needle rollers. However, the rolling bodies 3 may also be rollers or balls or the like.
(2)在上述实施方式中，叶片42和开口43形成于内推力片4。然而，叶片42和开口43还可以形成于外推力片1。叶片42和开口43是形成于内推力片4还是形成于外推力片1主要取决于推力轴承的结构和该推力轴承的安装环境。应当理解，叶片42和开口43应当形成于内/外推力片中的将转动的一个推力片。(2) In the above embodiment, the vane 42 and the opening 43 are formed in the inner thrust piece 4. However, the blade 42 and the opening 43 may also be formed on the outer thrust piece 1. Whether the blade 42 and the opening 43 are formed in the inner thrust piece 4 or the outer thrust piece 1 mainly depends on the structure of the thrust bearing and the mounting environment of the thrust bearing. It should be understood that the vanes 42 and the opening 43 should be formed in the inner/outer thrust piece as a thrust piece to be rotated.
(3)在上述实施方式中，推力轴承包括内推力片和外推力片。然而，本发明的结构还可以应用于具有仅一个推力片的推力轴承。(3) In the above embodiment, the thrust bearing includes an inner thrust piece and an outer thrust piece. However, the structure of the present invention can also be applied to a thrust bearing having only one thrust piece.
(4)在上述实施方式中，叶片42和开口43形成于推力轴承的内推力片4的径向外侧部分。然而，叶片42和开口43还可以形成于推力轴承的内(外)推力片的径向内侧部分的与进油间隙对应的位置。叶片42和开口43是形成于推力片的径向外侧部分还是形成于推力片的径向内侧部分，主要取决于推力轴承的结构(例如，进油间隙的位置)和该推力轴承的安装环境。(4) In the above embodiment, the vane 42 and the opening 43 are formed in the radially outer portion of the inner thrust piece 4 of the thrust bearing. However, the blade 42 and the opening 43 may also be formed at a position corresponding to the oil inlet gap of the radially inner portion of the inner (outer) thrust piece of the thrust bearing. The blade 42 and the opening 43 are formed in the radially outer portion of the thrust piece or in the radially inner portion of the thrust piece, depending mainly on the structure of the thrust bearing (for example, the position of the oil inlet gap) and the installation environment of the thrust bearing.
由于推力轴承转动过程中油雾或油滴会受到离心力，因而，在进油间隙处于推力轴承的径向外侧的情况下，轴承的润滑更困难。所以，对于进油间隙位于推力轴承的径向外侧的情况，本发明的推力轴承更具优势。Since the oil mist or oil droplets are subjected to centrifugal force during the rotation of the thrust bearing, the lubrication of the bearing is more difficult in the case where the oil inlet gap is radially outward of the thrust bearing. Therefore, the thrust bearing of the present invention is more advantageous in the case where the oil inlet gap is located radially outward of the thrust bearing.
(5)在上述实施方式中，所有叶片42相对于内推力片4的其它部分的倾斜方向均相同。然而，多个叶片42的倾斜角度也可以相反，即部分叶片沿第一方向倾斜，部分叶片沿与所述第一方向相反的第二方向倾斜。在内推力片4的转动方向可能变化的情况下，该方案特别有效；或者，同一推力片可以用于沿不同方向转动的轴承，这样可以提高部件的通用性。(5) In the above embodiment, the inclination directions of all the blades 42 with respect to the other portions of the inner thrust piece 4 are the same. However, the inclination angles of the plurality of blades 42 may also be reversed, that is, the partial blades are inclined in the first direction, and the partial blades are inclined in the second direction opposite to the first direction. This solution is particularly effective in the case where the direction of rotation of the inner thrust piece 4 may vary; alternatively, the same thrust piece can be used for bearings that rotate in different directions, which can improve the versatility of the components.
(6)在上述实施方式中，说明了通过叶片将油雾或油滴引入到进油间隙中。然而，本发明的结构对于任何类型的润滑剂或冷却剂均具有效果。(6) In the above embodiment, it is explained that oil mist or oil droplets are introduced into the oil inlet gap by the blades. However, the structure of the present invention has an effect on any type of lubricant or coolant.
(7)本发明的推力轴承可以应用于任何适当的场合，而不限于汽车空调压缩机和汽车变速箱。 (7) The thrust bearing of the present invention can be applied to any suitable occasion, and is not limited to automotive air conditioner compressors and automobile gearboxes.
