Description
【0001】
【発明の技術分野】
本発明は、主として水中電動ポンプや曝気・撹拌装置など、水中回転機械における回転軸の支承に用いられる電食防止機能を有した軸承装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来技術とその問題点】
水中電動ポンプや曝気・撹拌装置など、水中回転機械においては、接液部や回転体部分と静止体部分との間隙付近で特に腐食を生じやすい。腐食の要因が金属表面に形成される腐食電池の作用によるものであることは既に解明されており、腐食電池のアノード部とカソード部の電位差をなくすることができたならば、腐食電流が流れなくなって腐食は停止することになる。
【0003】
しかしながら水中電動ポンプや曝気・撹拌装置など、水中回転機械の回転軸は軸受により支承されており、軸受の内輪と外輪とはボールを介してほとんど点接触に近い状態で接触しているのに過ぎず、しかも内外輪の対向面間の空隙部には潤滑用のグリースが充填されており、そのグリースは非導電性であるため、回転軸の回転時には内外輪とボールとの接触部分に絶縁油膜が形成せられ、軸受内輪およびそれに連なる回転体部分と、軸受外輪およびそれに連なる静止体部分とは完全に絶縁された状態となり、電位差によって腐食を生じることは避けられない。
【0004】
軸受の内外輪間を電気的に導通させるための手段として、外輪内周部から導出された金属バネ板を内輪外周面へ摺接させることも試みられているが、回転時の摩耗係数が増大して動力損失が大きくなり、かつ、バネ板の摩耗も激しくて耐久性に乏しく、到底実用に供することはできないものである。
【0005】
【発明の目的】
本発明の目的は、水中回転機械の駆動時に回転体部分と静止体部分に生じる電位差をなくし、かつ、摩耗係数を増大させることなく恒久的で有効な電食防止機能を有する、軸承装置を提供することにある。
【0006】
【発明の構成】
本発明に係る水中回転機械における回転軸の支承に用いられる電食防止機能を有した軸承装置においては、軸受内輪を静合させた回転体部分の回転軸の軸端部にグリース溜まりを凹設し、軸受外輪を静合させた静止体部分のベアリングブラケット、または該ベアリングブラケットの中央部を蓋装するベアリングカバーから導延された回転軸の回転方向に沿って巻き下がるように形成された螺旋状の導電体をグリース溜まり内へ挿入すると共に、導電グリースをグリース溜まり内へ容入して上記ベアリングブラケットと回転軸とを電気的に導通し、モータを含めて水中につけて使用される水中回転機械の駆動時において、上記静止体と回転体部分間に生じる電位差がなくなることで腐食電流の流れをなくすると共に、静止体部分と電気的に導通させて静止体部分の外側接液部に装着された流電陽極の溶出による防食電流の流れを形成させた。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下水中ポンプの回転軸支承に用いた電食防止機能を有した軸承装置の事例について説明をする。
【0008】
図2において、1はモータ回転子2に嵌着された回転軸であって、その負荷側導出端には羽根車3が装着されている。4Aは回転軸1の反負荷側軸受であって、図1および図3ないし図7に詳示するように回転軸1に静合する軸受内輪5と、ベアリングブラケット6に静合する軸受外輪7とがボール8を介して対向している。9cは回転軸1の反負荷側軸端部に凹設されたグリース溜まり、10cは先端部をグリース溜まり9c内へ挿入させた螺旋状の導電体であり、図1ないし図4に示すようベアリングブラケット6から導延してグリース溜まり9c内へ挿入し、または図5ないし図7に示すようベアリングブラケット6の中央部を蓋装するベアリングカバー10bの裏面から導延してグリース溜まり9c内へ挿入すると共に、導電グリース11をグリース溜まり9c内へ容入する。グリース溜まり9c内へ挿入される螺旋状の導電体10cは、導電グリースとの接触面積を増大させるため螺旋状に形成されているが、その具体的形態としては、図1および図5に示すよう金属線をコイルスプリング状に巻回したもの、図3および図6に示すよう金属杵の外周に螺条を形成させたもの、図4および図7に示すよう金属杵の下端部のみを螺旋状に形成させたものであるが、螺条が回転軸1の回転方向に沿って巻き上がるように形成されてあれば導電グリース11がグリース溜まり9cから外方へ飛散することになるので、螺条が回転方向に沿って巻き下がるように形成されていることが肝要である。
【0009】
上述の導電グリース11はもともと静電気防止用として、カーボンとグリースを混ぜ合わせ必要に応じリチュームを添加して作られ、各種機械類の帯電防止に有効なものとされているが、これが前記グリース溜まり9c内で導電体10cと接しておれば、導電性に優れているという特性によって回転軸1とベアリングカバー10bおよびベアリングブラケット6とが電気的に導通せられ、延いては回転軸1に連なるモータ回転子2や羽根車3などの回転体部分と、ベアリングブラケット6に連なるモータ外胴12やヘッドカバー13などの静止体部分とが電気的に導通することになる。16はアルミニウム合金など電位の低い金属で作られた流電陽極であり、該静止体部分と電気的に導通するように例えばヘッドカバー13などの接液部に装着されている。
【0010】
【作用】
上述のように回転体部分と静止体部分とを電気的に導通させることができるため、駆動時において上記両部分間に生じる電位差がなくなり、腐食電流が流れなくなることで電食防止機能を有すると共に、上記静止体部分と電気的に導通された流電陽極の溶出による防食電流の流れが形成されるのでより一層の防食作用を生じる。
【0011】
【発明の効果】
本発明の水中回転機械における回転軸の支承に用いられる電食防止機能を有した軸承装置を用いることにより、水中回転機械の駆動時に回転体部分と静止体部分に生じる電位差電位差がなくなることで腐食電流が流れなくなり、かつ、摩耗係数を増大させることなく恒久的で有効な電食防止機能を有することになる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bearing device having an electrolytic corrosion prevention function mainly used for supporting a rotating shaft in an underwater rotating machine such as an underwater electric pump and an aeration / stirring device.
[0002]
[Prior art and its problems]
In an underwater rotating machine such as an underwater electric pump or an aeration / stirring device, corrosion is particularly likely to occur in the vicinity of a wetted part or a gap between a rotating part and a stationary part. It has already been elucidated that the cause of corrosion is due to the action of the corrosion cell formed on the metal surface. If the potential difference between the anode and cathode of the corrosion cell can be eliminated, the corrosion current flows. The corrosion will stop after it disappears.
[0003]
However, the rotating shafts of submersible rotary machines, such as submersible electric pumps and aeration / stirring devices, are supported by bearings, and the inner ring and outer ring of the bearing are in contact with each other almost in a point contact manner via balls. In addition, the gap between the opposing surfaces of the inner and outer rings is filled with lubricating grease, and the grease is non-conductive. Therefore, when the rotary shaft rotates, an insulating oil film is formed on the contact portion between the inner and outer rings and the ball. Thus, the inner ring of the bearing and the rotating part connected to the inner ring are completely insulated from the outer part of the bearing and the stationary part connected thereto, and it is inevitable that corrosion occurs due to a potential difference.
[0004]
As a means for electrically connecting the inner and outer rings of the bearing, an attempt has been made to slidably contact the metal spring plate led out from the inner periphery of the outer ring to the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring, but the wear coefficient during rotation has increased. As a result, the power loss increases and the spring plate is severely worn and poor in durability, and cannot be put to practical use.
[0005]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a bearing device that eliminates a potential difference generated between a rotating body portion and a stationary body portion when driving an underwater rotating machine, and has a permanent and effective electrolytic corrosion prevention function without increasing a wear coefficient. There is to do.
[0006]
[Structure of the invention]
In a bearing device having an electrolytic corrosion prevention function used for supporting a rotating shaft in an underwater rotating machine according to the present invention, a grease reservoir is provided in the shaft end portion of the rotating shaft of a rotating body portion in which a bearing inner ring is stationary. The bearing bracket of the stationary body portion where the bearing outer ring is stationary , or the spiral formed so as to be rolled down along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft led from the bearing cover covering the center portion of the bearing bracket with the Jo conductor inserted into the grease reservoir, a conductive grease to containers entering into the grease reservoir to electrical conduction and shaft rotation with the bearing bracket, underwater rotating used immersed in water, including the motor When the machine is driven, the potential difference generated between the stationary body and the rotating body is eliminated, eliminating the flow of corrosion current and electrically connecting to the stationary body. So the flow of corrosion current by elution of galvanic anodes mounted on the outer wetted portion of the stationary body portion was formed.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An example of a bearing device having an electrolytic corrosion prevention function used for rotating shaft support of a submersible pump will be described below.
[0008]
In FIG. 2,
[0009]
The above-mentioned
[0010]
[Action]
Since the stationary body portion and the rotating body portion as described above may be electrically conductive, there is no potential difference between the both parts during driving, which has electrolytic corrosion prevention that the corrosion current stops flowing , resulting in further corrosion effects since the flow of corrosion current by elution of the stationary body portion and electrically connected to the galvanic anode Ru is formed.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
By using a bearing device having an electric corrosion prevention function used for supporting a rotating shaft in the underwater rotating machine of the present invention, the potential difference potential difference generated between the rotating body part and the stationary body part when driving the underwater rotating machine is eliminated, and corrosion current does not flow, and becomes Rukoto to have a permanent and effective electrical corrosion prevention function without increasing the wear coefficient.
