Description

High precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of highi degree of accuracy angular contact ball bearing, particularly relate to a kind of high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing and manufacture method thereof, belong to the bearing manufacturing technology, be suitable for being installed on highi degree of accuracy, high rotating speed, high-grade, digitally controlled machine tools and the machining center main shaft.
Background technique
Numerical control machine tool is the important foundation equipment of national economy, and it embodies the comprehensive strength of a country.And the supporting of the core of main shaft of numerical control machine tool is the high speed and precision ball bearing, and the steel ball rolling element in this ball bearing is laterally kept by the retainer of steel institute, and steel ball is arranged in the raceway of the Internal and external cycle that also is formed from steel.The major defect of these known bearings is to be restricted in the life-span under the high rotating speed.This be because the bad performance with surface of rubbing action make steel ball with also be that two circles that are formed from steel contact, under the condition of running up, to cause bearing temperature rise to raise rapidly, consequently cause bearing performance to descend rapidly, in addition, also damage lubricant grease and oil, cause the lost of life of bearing.
For this reason, the high performance ceramic bearing of high speed and precision ball bearing----of a new generation is being developed in countries in the world always, begin since U.S. NASA company succeeded in developing the first cover ceramic bearing in 1972, high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing is focus and the difficult point competitively studied of each industrial powers in the world always.This is to have excellent physical properties such as density is good, hardness is high, thermal expansion coefficient is little, Young's modulus is big, compressive strength is high, corrosion-resistant in view of hot pressed silicon nitride (HPSN), it is reported, Japan NSK corporation plan is all used the high speed hard-disk bearing of computer instead ceramic ball bearing in several years of future, with the rotating speed of raising hard disk and the stability of main frame; The companies such as open country, gloomy essence, Nigata, Kyocers of herding have put on display high-speed machine tool and the machining center that adopts ceramic ball bearing one after another; The FAG of Germany just is devoted to the exploitation of ceramic bearing main axle unit at middle nineteen seventies; The ceramic ball rolling element that U.S. Norton company adopts the HIP method to produce can be rated as first-class level in the world, and SKF also once repeatedly is reported in the achievement in research of ceramic ball bearing aspect.No. 00812640.2, the Chinese invention patent application that SNFA of France submits has also provided a kind of " the mixing ball bearing with ceramic balls and steel ring ", and it comprises: an inner ring that is formed from steel and an outer ring, and inner ring and outer ring have the ball bearing groove respectively; The all balls that are arranged between the ball bearing groove and contact with it; One is arranged between the Internal and external cycle to keep the ball cage of ball; And two lip rings that between Liang Quan, radially extend basically, in order to oiling agent is remained in the volume that contains ball and cage ring, and oiling agent is limited between Liang Quan and two Sealings, it is characterized in that ball is formed by ceramic post sintering.Because this mixing ball bearing is exclusively used in aircraft industry, especially be applied to helicopter tail gear case, be used to drive the helicopter tail rotor, thereby its structure and precision are unsuitable for all being applied on highi degree of accuracy, high rotating speed, high-grade, digitally controlled machine tools and the machining center main shaft.At home, to the research of ceramic bearing also under test.Wherein main cause is not enough to the mass production processes and the High Efficient Machining Technology research of high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball, processing technique to structural design, optimization and the bearing parts of high-precision ceramic ball bearing lacks research, more lacks the research of engineering practical application and industrialization aspect.
Because the hot pressed silicon nitride (HPSN) material belongs to extremely unmanageable hard brittle material, can only conditionally provide the ceramic ball below 10 grades at present on the international market.G5 level and G3 level ceramic ball are bought nowhere, and corresponding high-precision ceramic bearing also can't be bought.Therefore, development numerical control machine tool and crucial common technology thereof have been listed country " 15 " development in science and technology plan in.Developing the high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing with China's independent intellectual property right as early as possible is the task of top priority.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiency of prior art, improve by research, a kind of running accuracy height, price performance is reasonable, easy to use, reliability is high high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing and manufacture method thereof have been provided, this ball bearing can be under high rotation speed operation condition, greatly prolong the life-span of bearing, and the characteristics that can keep ball bearing highi degree of accuracy and high stability, thereby reduce the cost of maintaining.
The technological scheme that the present invention provides is: this high precision hot press silicon nitride ceramic ball bearing comprises:
An inner ring and an outer ring of being formed from steel, inner ring and outer ring have the ball bearing arc raceway respectively;
The ceramic ball rolling element that is arranged between the Internal and external cycle ball-bearing groove and contacts with it, the ceramic ball rolling element is obtained by taper grinding process technique and technical equipment, and its precision reaches the G5 level at least;
One is arranged between the Internal and external cycle to keep the rolling element cage ring of ceramic ball, i.e. retainer.
Because described rolling element is formed by ceramic post sintering and its precision reaches the G5 level at least, promptly ball diameter variation VDWS is no more than 0.13, and deviation from spherical form Δ δ is no more than 0.13, and surface roughness Ra is no more than 0.020.Therefore, characteristics of the present invention are mixing ball bearings of a kind of angle contacting type, its the performance on surface with rubbing action by contact with each other, be used to the stupalith pairing of making the steel of circle and making rolling element, make rolling element with enclose between contact and be improved.Compare with traditional bearing, owing to reduced the heating of contact segment, thereby the performance that is decided by the contact of bearing wear and heating is improved and cause the decay of lubricant grease to reduce, therefore, can reduce the lubricated cost of bearing, simultaneously, because the temperature rise of bearing descends, thereby improved antiwhip, prolonged the life-span of bearing, make the life-span of bearing bring up to about about 3 times, thereby improved bearing highi degree of accuracy and high stability energy greatly, and greatly reduce the cost of maintenance.
Purpose to better implement the present invention, the described rolling element that forms by ceramic post sintering to small part by Si 3N 4Constitute, but surplus ZrO 2Or Al 2O 3, certainly, also can all adopt Si 3N 4Or ZrO 2Or Al 2O 3This is that the stupalith of having developed at present has silicon nitride (Si because stupalith has multiplely 3N 4), silicon carbide (SiC), titanium carbide (TiC), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2), aluminium oxide (Al 2O 3) and fiber reinforcement glass and Reinforced Glass-Ceramic Composites etc., its microstructure and performance have nothing in common with each other, and therefore, not all stupalith all is fit to be used for making bearing.Stupalith is centrifugal force and the inertial force for the rolling element that reduces high speed rotating as the main purpose of rolling bearing material, with the speed up that adapts to bearing and the requirement of high temperatureization.Therefore, that at first considers is had high strength and high hardness characteristic as the low density of bearing material with by satisfying to use under the worst hot case condition, in addition, also must have dimensional stability under different temperatures as bearing material, to guarantee that bearing is under the temperature variation working condition, keep accurate size and accurate the cooperation, under particular surroundings, also must possess anticorrosive, anti-resolving power.From present research situation, silicon nitride is the most suitable present stupalith that is used for making rolling bearing.Compare with Bearing Steel with several stupaliths, its advantage mainly shows: low density, medium Young's modulus, high hot-pressing strength, low thermal coefficient of expansion and good inherent chemical characteristics thereof.
Purpose to better implement the present invention, the steel of described bearing inner race and outer ring can be selected from following steel: traditional bearing steel, preferably M50 or 100C6; Stainless steel, preferably 440C or XD15N; Structure nitriding or case hardening steel, preferably 32CDV13 or M50NIL.
Purpose to better implement the present invention, described retainer are preferably polyethers ethyl ketone PEEK by the polymer material molding and forming.Existing retainer is made of two half cage rings with respect to a radial plane symmetry, be resisted against on another half cage ring along these plane one and half cage rings, each cage ring all is the corolla form, these half cage rings are held the axial rivet between some complementary recess guard shield, half cage ring of rolling element and are axially relatively combined each other by formation, like this, cage ring centers at inner ring, thereby can maintain cage ring.Its major defect is, structure is complicated, and it is unfavorable to use under hot environment.And the polymer retainer is compared with the metal retainer not only because low price, and excellent performance, and its main feature is: density is low, and good springiness is corrosion-resistant, resist chemical, and shock resistance is good, and sliding is good.Owing to the molding and forming of polymer retainer energy, its geometry design extremely helps the work of bearing simultaneously.Polyethers ethyl ketone PEEK (Polyetheretherkerone) is the best retainer material that is used for ceramic bearing.PEEK and to hinder the friction factor minimum between HIPSN be 0.028, and almost be not worn.And, in the bulk ceramics bearing test, prove that it can satisfy the high speed requirement.Adopt the high-speed spindle bearing of oil lubrication, adopt the polymer retainer of thin type usually.This retainer light weight, centrifugal force is little in the operation process, and bear vibration is little, and the intensity height.Keep big space between thin type retainer and inner ring rib, help the lubricated of bearing.The retainer that the grease lubrication profile shaft holds should be suitably thicker.For increasing bearing self oil storage capacity, should on retainer, leave corresponding oil duct.
Purpose to better implement the present invention, described retainer adopts the retainer of outer ring guide structure.This is that the retainer running speed is far below the bearing inner race running speed because high-speed spindle bearing is when running well.By fixed outer ring lip-guided retainer, can significantly reduce grazing and vibration between retainer and guide surface, make the work of bearing more stable.High-speed spindle bearing inner ring radiating condition is poor, should obtain more sufficient cooling with lubricated.Adopt outer ring guiding retainer, it is lubricated fully to help making bearing to obtain.Lubricant oil sprays into from the space between inner ring and the retainer, and bear inner ring grooved railway is cooled off fully with lubricated.With the rotation of ball, the lubricant oil of sending into the bearing inner race raceway groove constantly is thrown into outer ring raceway under the drive of spheroid and under self action of centrifugal force, and it is good lubricated that guide surface and raceway groove are all obtained.So under equal lubricating condition, the bearing life of outer ring guiding retainer will be longer than the plain bearing of inner ring guiding retainer.

B. the lapping device of abrasive machining ceramic ball, include top lap and following abrasive disk, wherein top lap (11) is recessed plate-like, top lap is installed in an end of transmission shaft, adopt flexible member to be connected between the other end of transmission shaft and the machine tool chief axis, the middle part of transmission shaft also is provided with angular contact ball (10) bearing, the two ends end cap of this angular contact ball bearing bearing cap is provided with nut and passes sleeve, the other end of this sleeve pierces into and is positioned at, axle sleeve on the guide pillar of following abrasive disk both sides, be provided with round nut on the axle sleeve, pad and spring, following abrasive disk (13) is installed on the base of lathe, and guide pillar also is fixed on the base of lathe.
In above-mentioned technology, these two parameters of grinding pressure and lap speed are closely related, and influence grinding precision and grinding efficiency simultaneously, therefore, when determining its occurrence, must consider simultaneously, take into account mutually.
To take into account the grinding precision and the grinding efficiency of ceramic ball when (1) selecting grinding pressure P: as lay particular emphasis on grinding precision (during lappingout), P should be smaller; As laying particular emphasis on grinding efficiency (when slightly grinding), P can be greatly;
Also to take into account the grinding precision and the grinding efficiency of ceramic ball when (2) selecting lap speed ω: as lay particular emphasis on grinding precision (during lappingout), ω should be smaller; As laying particular emphasis on grinding efficiency (when slightly grinding), ω can be greatly;
(3) the last of P and ω determined, also must be by the field experiment of a large amount of ceramic ball grindings, to obtain best grinding effect.
Because pottery belongs to brittle material, under the effect of abrasive particle, the surface can produce different crackles, so the abrasive machining of ceramic ball rolling element will be carried out step by step, by slightly finishing to the smart multiple working procedure that divides.Operation for a long time auxiliary time long, process time is short, it is long that the cleaning of ball picks and places the time, great advantage is can reasonable distribution machining allowance, per pass process efficiency height.Operation after a little while auxiliary time short, long processing time, the abrasive grain difference is big, must guarantee that enough machining allowance could remove defective that previous process is stayed and reach and improve machining accuracy gradually.The division of operation will comprehensively determine that when big in batches, process division helps the raising of whole efficiency according to manufacturing batch, ball base surplus, error size etc.
When slightly grinding: should at first the ball base be pressed the maximum diameter grouping, shorten the erratic process of grinding initial stage, and reduce it as far as possible and beat to improve grinding efficiency, the ceramic ball base has corner angle, therefore, initial in processing, should low speed, the too high institute of rotating speed causes vibration big, rotating speed also may appear when high, frictional force is big, causes top lap to be stuck owing to ball is not round and changes motionless phenomenon, and this all influences processing.Therefore, rotating speed can not be too high, and pressure can suitably strengthen, and is machined to this understanding corner angle are removed, and the ball base is till certain sphere.Can consider to improve work efficiency then, from actual processing effect, under high-speed case, the eliminating rate of several pressure is all higher, and therefore, rotating speed can increase substantially.But rotating speed is too high, when pressure is big, vibrates very greatly, therefore, can consider suitably to reduce pressure under the prerequisite of work efficiency guaranteeing, reduces vibration.
When half lappingout: because this procedure of half lappingout is in order to carry out the transition to lappingout, mainly to consider work efficiency, to hold concurrently to consider deviation from spherical form.Therefore, should not use excessive speeds, excessive pressure, in order to revise deviation from spherical form (because the correction of deviation from spherical form under low speed, the low-pressure than at a high speed, good under the high pressure), improve whole work efficiency and quality of processing.
When lappingout: the purpose of this procedure is to improve the precision and the surface quality of ball.The removal amount size should guarantee to eliminate defective that previous process is stayed.Therefore, rotating speed and pressure are all wanted suitably, once add abrasive material after process time also should consider to some extent.
When super lappingout: this procedure does not just improve the precision and the surface quality of ball, also should guarantee enough machining allowance so that precision progressively improves, and surplus is too little, can't reach highi degree of accuracy.Therefore, rotating speed and pressure when rotating speed and pressure ratio lappingout will hang down, once add abrasive material after, process time is longer, can progressively improve machining accuracy and surface quality.
When polishing: the purpose of polishing is to improve surface roughness.From actual effect, use the buffing material chromium oxide lower+lappingout oil polishing effect better than ceramic hardness, under low speed, low pressure conditions, sphere diameter changes little after processing a few hours, surface roughness Ra can reach 0.01 μ m or littler.
According to fixed each procedure processing HIPSN ceramic ball, 60 ~ 100 in the every batch of processable ceramic ball, about 30h, ceramic ball finished product can reach G5, G3 level level when shared.
For guaranteeing grinding efficiency and precision, should rationally arrange operation according to the surplus of batch size, ball base, by slightly progressively reducing grinding pressure and rotating speed to essence.The precision of lapping device has a significant impact the raising of grinding efficiency and precision, mainly should guarantee parallelism, perpendicularity, off-centre and the guiding accuracy of upper and lower abrasive disk, and this is directly connected to the stressed and motion state of ball.
Grinding abrasive can use diamond abrasive, also can use SiC, B4C abrasive material, and the diamond abrasive cost is higher, the work efficiency height.Allocate rational lapping paste and help to improve grinding precision and efficient.Need take measures abrasive material is suspended in lapping liquid, the interpolation of lapping paste will be followed a small amount of principle repeatedly.When slightly grinding, removal amount is big, and abrasive dust is many, stops up the abrasive disk raceway groove easily, influences the spin motion of ceramic ball, makes machining accuracy and work efficiency all can not get guaranteeing.Therefore, must in time remove raffinate, fill lapping paste.Experiment showed, and can raise the efficiency in view of the above about 20%, reduce 8 hours process times/about criticizing.
When slightly grinding, the abrasive disk material will be selected mild steel for use, as 45# steel, cast iron, helps the ball track to form, unified fast sphere diameter.During lappingout, the abrasive disk material should be selected hard steel for use, for keeping kinematic accuracy for a long time, as Chilled Hardened Steel.Abrasive disk is roughly 80h, 120h in life time thick, lappingout.
Also include the lapping device of abrasive machining ceramic ball in the technological scheme that the present invention provides, it includes top lap and following abrasive disk, it is characterized in that top lap (11) is recessed plate-like, top lap is installed in an end of transmission shaft, adopt flexible member to be connected between the other end of transmission shaft and the machine tool chief axis, and the drive top lap rotates with angular velocity with the lathe main shaft, the middle part of transmission shaft also is provided with angular contact ball (10) bearing, the two ends end cap of this angular contact ball bearing is provided with nut and passes sleeve, the other end of this sleeve pierces into and is positioned at, axle sleeve on the guide pillar of following abrasive disk both sides, be provided with round nut on the axle sleeve, pad and spring, can change grinding pressure, following abrasive disk (13) is installed on the base of lathe and maintains static, guide pillar also is fixed on the base of lathe, and ceramic ball to be ground places among the groove between top lap and the following abrasive disk.
