Combined bearing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bearings, in particular to a combined bearing.
Background
Theoretically, the thicker the shaft diameter of the rotating shaft is, the larger load can be borne, and the larger critical rotating speed can be borne, but the DN value of the bearing matched with the rotating shaft is increased, the lubricating oil with higher performance is needed, and otherwise, the faults of bearing abrasion, shaft clamping and the like can be caused. DN is a reference value of selected rolling bearing lubricating oil, wherein D is the diameter of the bearing, and N is the relative rotating speed of the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing. Bearings with high DN values have high requirements for grease or oil adhesion, operating life, and operating temperature, which are generally expensive.
For non-contact bearings, such as radial air bearings, the support function is achieved by means of compressed air between the shaft and the inner ring of the bearing, and generally, a rubber ring is installed between the outer diameter of the bearing and a bearing seat, and the bearing is fixed by means of friction between the rubber ring and the outer diameter of the bearing to prevent circumferential rotation. However, in the practical operation of the air bearing, when the rotating speed of the rotating shaft reaches more than about 10 thousands of revolutions, air friction exists between the compressed air film and the rotating shaft, the friction also increases along with the increase of the rotating speed of the rotating shaft, and the torque generated by the friction force makes the rotation of the air bearing along with the rotating shaft more obvious and frequent. And with the further improvement of the rotating speed of the rotating shaft or the increase of the shaft diameter of the rotating shaft, the friction force between the air film and the inner diameter of the radial air bearing is further increased, the rotating speed of the radial air bearing relative to the bearing seat is increased, and the rubber ring can be easily abraded and damaged.

Example four
When the rotating shaft bearing 1 of the present invention is an angular contact ball bearing, since the inner ring of the bearing is fixed on the rotating shaft 100, relative displacement occurs between the outer ring, the retainer and the balls, which is commonly referred to as that the balls in the bearing are too loose, and appropriate treatment measures are required.

Further, the stator bearing 2 is an air bearing, an oil film floating ring bearing or a tilt pad bearing.
Further, the ball bearing, the roller bearing, the ceramic bearing or the tetrafluoroethylene bearing is single-row, double-row or multi-row.
The starting process of the parallel bearing of the invention is as follows:
when the rotating shaft 100 is started, the rotating shaft bearing 1 of the outer sleeve of the rotating shaft 100 is contacted with the bottom of the stator bearing 2, the inner ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 is driven to rotate along with the rotation of the rotating shaft 100, meanwhile, the stator bearing 2 and the outer ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 are gradually separated under the action of an air film or an oil film, the rotating shaft bearing 1 eccentrically rotates in the stator bearing 2, and when the rotating shaft 100 stably runs at a high speed, the rotating shaft 100 and the rotating shaft bearing 1 are coaxial and eccentrically rotate around a circumference in the stator bearing 2. Meanwhile, the outer ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 rotates.
Further, referring to fig. 1, the present invention employs a ball bearing as a shaft bearing 1 and an air bearing as a stator bearing 2. The following is a description of the working principle:
when the shaft diameter is constant, for the conventional ball bearing, when the rotating shaft 100 rotates, the rotation speed of the inner ring of the ball bearing is V2, and the rotation speed of the outer ring is V0, and since the outer ring is fixed on the stator 4 and V0 is approximately 0, the relative rotation speed n of the outer ring of the ball bearing is V2-V0.
After the parallel bearing is adopted, when the rotating shaft 100 rotates, the rotating speed of the inner ring of the ball bearing is set to be V2, the rotating speed of the outer ring is set to be V1, the rotating speed of the air bearing is set to be V0, the air bearing is fixed on the stator 4, the V0 is approximately 0, the speed difference a of the outer ring of the ball bearing relative to the inner ring is V2-V1, the speed difference b of the outer ring relative to the air bearing is V1-V0, and a and b are both smaller than n. Therefore, the relative rotating speed of the inner ring and the outer ring of the rolling bearing is reduced, namely under the same condition, the actual DN value is reduced, and the requirement can be met by selecting common lubricating grease.
By analogy, no matter how many ball bearings are sequentially sleeved on the rotating shaft bearing 1 in parallel, the actual DN value is not enabled to be overlarge, and the shaft diameter D and the bearing rotating speed N are decoupled. Therefore, the parallel bearing is suitable for working conditions of large shaft diameter and high rotating speed. The damping and the rigidity of the parallel bearing are not lower than those of a single bearing, and specifically, the damping of the parallel bearing is air bearing damping plus the damping of each bearing rubber ring; the parallel bearing stiffness is equal to the air bearing stiffness.
In a specific application, the parallel bearings of the present invention may be arranged on the rotating shaft 100 in pairs, referring to fig. 5, when the rotating shaft 100 rotates, the inner ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 is driven to rotate, and the outer ring of the rotating shaft bearing 1 or the outer ring of the outermost intermediate bearing 6 rotates under the action of the air bearing or the oil film floating ring bearing. And the rotating speeds of a plurality of parallel bearings on the same rotating shaft can be adaptively adjusted according to stress, so that the effect of synchronous rotation is achieved.
Taking the case that the rotating shaft bearing 1 is a ball bearing and the stator bearing 2 is an air bearing, the parallel bearing of the invention has the working process that:
(1) starting a starting device of the rotating shaft 100 to enable the rotating shaft 100 to rotate to an initial preset speed; the inner ring of the ball bearing is driven by the rotating shaft 100 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 100;
(2) after the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 100 is accelerated to the working rotating speed, the outer ring of the ball bearing starts to rotate under the action of the balls, the air between the outer ring of the ball bearing and the inner wall of the air bearing is whirled, when the outer ring of the ball bearing rotates to a certain speed, the air film is gradually stabilized, and the ball bearing is separated from the inner ring of the air bearing.
The working principle of the friction torque and time relationship diagram will be further explained below. See fig. 10, 11:
(1) in the time period from 0 to t1, namely the rotating shaft 100 is just started, the inner ring of the ball bearing rotates and the outer ring does not rotate, the linear velocity of the outer ring of the ball bearing is 0, and the friction torque of the outer ring of the ball bearing is increased due to the influence of the rotation of the balls; the air bearing is now unstressed so that the friction torque is 0 and the air bearing is in contact with the ball bearing outer race prior to time t 1.
(2) In the time period from t1 to t2, namely before the rotating shaft 100 gradually rotates to the stable operation, the friction torque of the outer ring of the ball is increased due to the influence of the rotation of the ball, and the outer ring of the ball gradually rotates but does not take off; the friction torque between the air bearing and the ball bearing is gradually increased until a critical point;
(3) at the time of t2, the friction torque between the air bearing and the ball bearing reaches a critical point, the friction torque borne by the air bearing and the ball bearing both reach a critical value, the outer ring of the ball bearing and the air bearing start to rotate relatively and are separated gradually, the air film between the outer ring of the ball bearing and the inner wall of the air bearing is gradually stabilized, and the friction torque of the ball bearing slowly increases along with the increase of the rotating speed after a small amount of reduction; meanwhile, the air bearing takes off, the friction torque of the air bearing is also instantaneously reduced, and then the friction torque is slowly increased along with the rising of the rotating speed.
The thrust bearing 800 of the present invention includes a foil 801, an elastomer 802, and a thrust bearing housing 803; the thrust bearing housing 803 covers the thrust disc 300 and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 200.
Foil 801 is fixed to both inner end surfaces (see fig. 1) or/and one inner end surface (see fig. 3) of thrust bearing housing 803 through elastic body 802, and elastic body 802 is bonded to foil 801 and thrust bearing housing 803.
The foil 801 is annular, the outer diameter of the foil 801 is larger than that of the thrust disc 300, a gap is reserved between the foil 801 and the end face of the thrust disc 210, a thrust bearing air inlet is formed in the thrust bearing shell 803, and during air inlet, air flows into the gap between the foil 801 and the thrust disc 210 to form an air film, so that displacement of the rotating shaft 100 is limited in the axial direction.
The combined bearing can be used for a rotor system.
The combined bearing can be used for a motor.
The application of the combination bearing of the present invention is not limited to the application described in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can easily conceive of applying the combination bearing to any high-speed rotation.
