Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bearing unit for rotary anodes of x-ray tubes.
  • the invention has for its object to produce a storage unit for such rotary anodes of X-ray tubes, which is particularly easy to install.
  • the storage unit according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is compact and consists of a small number of parts which can be pre-assembled in order to install the thus preassembled storage unit easy to install in the corresponding recess in the X-ray tube.
  • the bearing unit can absorb axial forces to some extent.
  • the use of two angular contact ball bearings eliminates the need for elaborate shaft production.
  • a relatively ponderegünster material eg, unhardened steel
  • the spacer elements ensure a positionally secure positioning of the bearing elements on the shaft, wherein the inner spacer element is in contact with the inner rings of the angular contact ball bearings and the outer spacer element is in contact with the outer rings of the angular contact ball bearings.
  • an angular contact ball bearing or both angular contact ball bearings with the inner ring on a shoulder of the shaft are thus fixed easy to install in the axial direction.
  • the angular contact ball bearings are oriented opposite to each other, ie, the respective open side of the angular contact ball bearings are either facing each other or facing away from each other.
  • the open shoulder of the angular contact ball bearing of the first bearing element is arranged in the direction of the flange end of the shaft and the open shoulder of the angular contact ball bearing of the further bearing element in the direction of the flange distal end of the shaft.
  • the spacer element arranged between the outer rings and / or the inner rings of the bearing elements may be formed as a divided spacer elements.
  • a divided spacer element is understood to mean that the spacer element consists of several separate parts (for example a plurality of ring segments).
  • a first (e.g., larger) standard sized ring segment may be used, and further one or more precision made spacers to fill the desired distance between the outer rings and / or inner rings of the bearing elements.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic partial sectional view of a storage unit; and FIG. 2 shows an enlarged detail with a storage unit whose
  • Stemming element is locked by plastic deformation of the shaft.
  • the bearing unit 1 shown in Fig. 1 has a shaft 2 with a flange element 3 to which a rotary anode (for example according to DE 30 41 558 A1) can be attached.
  • a rotary anode for example according to DE 30 41 558 A1
  • the entire storage unit 1 can be inserted into a designated and not shown recess of the x-ray tube and locked there in the usual way (eg by screwing).
  • the bearing unit 1 has to receive the shaft 2, a first bearing element 4 and a further bearing element 5.
  • the first bearing element 4 is formed by an attached to the shaft 2 angular contact ball bearing 6, which has an inner ring 7 and an outer ring 8.
  • the second bearing element 5 is formed by a mounted on the shaft 2 angular contact ball bearing 9, which has an inner ring 10 and an outer ring 1 1.
  • the open side of the angular contact ball bearing 6 is formed on the outer ring 8 and is arranged in the direction of the flange-side end of the shaft 2.
  • the open side of the angular contact ball bearing 9 is formed on the outer ring 1 1 and is arranged in the direction of the flange 3 opposite end of the shaft 2.
  • the inner rings 7 and 10 are dimensionally exactly spaced by a spacer element 12.
  • a further spacer element 13 is arranged between the outer rings 8 and 1 1, a further spacer element 13 is arranged.
  • the angular contact ball bearing 6 is applied with its inner ring 7 at a shoulder of the shaft 2.
  • the Verstemmelement 14 is sleeve-shaped. More specifically, the caulking 14 has the shape of a ring or a hollow cylinder. 2 shows an enlarged detail of a storage unit 201.
  • the bearing unit 201 differs from the bearing unit 1 only by a differently shaped shaft 202. The other components remain unchanged, so that reference can be made in this regard to the comments on Fig. 1.
  • the caulking 14 is locked in the embodiment of FIG. 2 by a plastically deformed end portion 16 of the shaft 202 on the shaft 202.
  • An axial displacement of the Verstemmelements 14 is no longer possible.
  • the components of the bearing unit 201 are thus securely clamped together.
  • the plastic deformation of the end region 16 of the shaft 202 can be carried out, for example, by applying a force directed in the axial direction of the shaft.
  • the shaft 202 is identical to the shaft 2 of FIG. 1.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une unité palier (1) pour anodes tournantes de tubes à rayons X, comportant un arbre (2) et un élément formant joue (3) sur lequel une anode tournante peut être montée. L'unité palier (1) peut être introduite dans un évidement situé à l'intérieur des tubes à rayons X et bloquée dans ledit évidement, l'arbre (2) étant reçu par l'intermédiaire d'un premier élément de palier (4) et d'un autre élément de palier (5). Le premier élément de palier (4) et l'autre élément de palier (5) sont chacun constitués par un roulement à billes à contact oblique (6, 9) monté sur l'arbre (2) et présentent chacun une bague intérieure (7, 10) et une bague extérieure (8, 11), au moins un élément d'écartement (12, 13) étant monté entre la bague intérieure (7, 10) et la bague extérieure (8, 11) des éléments de palier (4, 5).
