Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-142014 JP-A-8-219148

In the floating bush bearing, since the floating bush is rotated by the rotation of the rotating shaft, when the rotating shaft rotates at a high speed like a turbocharger, a large centrifugal force directed radially outward is caused by the rotation of the floating bush. work. Therefore, it becomes difficult to supply lubricating oil to the inner peripheral surface of the bush.
Therefore, in the high-speed rotating machine, as in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to introduce the lubricating oil into the sliding surface between the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush and the rotating shaft only by forming a wedge-shaped gap on the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush. Still, there is a possibility that seizure and damage of the sliding surface may occur.

  In Patent Document 2, complicated processing for providing a circumferential oil groove and an axial oil groove in the floating bush is required, and the production of the floating bush becomes expensive. Further, when the rotary shaft rotates at a high speed, a large centrifugal force acting radially outward acts on the floating bush, so that the axial groove between the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush and the rotary shaft acts in the same manner as in Patent Document 1. Lubricating oil becomes difficult to be introduced, and there is still a possibility that seizure and damage of the sliding surface may occur.

  In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides lubrication in the bearing gap of the floating bush, particularly in the gap with the rotating shaft, even when the floating bush bearing is used in a rotating machine whose rotating shaft rotates at high speed like a turbocharger. The purpose is to eliminate oil shortage.

In order to achieve the above object, the floating bush bearing of the present invention comprises:
A floating bush is rotatably disposed between the rotary shaft and the bearing housing, and a communication hole for lubricating oil is provided to communicate the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush. In the floating bush bearing supplied to the inner peripheral surface,
Floating bushing outer peripheral surface with a connected to the opening of the lubricating oil communicating hole, toward downstream in the rotation direction of the rotary shaft from the lubricating oil communicating hole a groove for extending been shallow Rutotomoni, shallow bottom grooves of one in which sea urchin unsuitable from the opening of the lubricating oil communicating hole downstream in the rotation direction of the rotary shaft so that its groove both sides is characterized in that a groove which becomes wider in the truncated reverse V shape. (First invention)

  In the present invention, the lubricating oil supplied from the bearing housing to the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush is temporarily stored in the groove provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bush. When the rotating shaft rotates and rotates along with the rotating shaft, the inertia force toward the counter-rotating direction, that is, the upstream side in the rotating direction is generated in the lubricating oil stored in the groove. Therefore, the lubricating oil stored in the groove is directed toward the opening of the lubricating oil communication hole on the upstream side in the rotation direction of the groove, and smoothly enters the lubricating oil communication hole from the opening.

  As a result, the amount of lubricating oil supplied between the bush inner peripheral surface and the rotating shaft increases, so that the oil pressure between the bush inner peripheral surface and the rotating shaft increases, and the lubricating performance improves. Therefore, seizure and damage between the inner peripheral surface of the bush and the rotating shaft can be prevented.

As the rotational speed of the rotary shaft increases, the rotational speed of the floating bush also increases, so that the inertial force acting on the lubricating oil in the groove also increases. Therefore, the lubricating oil is easily introduced into the lubricating oil communication hole, and the amount of lubricating oil supplied to the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush increases.
Further, since the groove becomes narrower as it approaches the opening of the lubricating oil communication hole, the lubricating oil to which inertial force is applied is collected near the opening of the lubricating oil communication hole, and the oil pressure near the opening is increased. Will increase. Therefore, the lubricating oil in the groove can be supplied to the inner circumferential surface of the bush through the lubricating oil communication hole.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the bottom surface of the groove is flat and the depth of the bottom surface is gradually shallower toward the lubricating oil communication hole. As a result, the closer the lubricating oil is to the lubricating oil communication hole in the groove, the higher the oil pressure is. Therefore, the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the floating bush is overcome, and the lubricating oil is introduced into the lubricating oil communication hole. Becomes easier.

Furthermore floating bush bearing of the present invention, by which is inclined from the front Symbol downstream side in the rotation direction of the rotation axis toward the inner circumferential surface of the lubricating oil communicating hole from the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush bearing as toward the upstream side It is preferable that the lubricating oil entering the lubricating oil communication hole from the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush is provided with a pushing force toward the inner peripheral surface side of the floating bush by the inclined surface of the lubricating oil communication hole . (Second invention)

By the Jun Namerayu communicating hole and with the arrangement, the lubricating oil that has entered the lubricating oil for communicating the hole, collides with the inclined surface of the lubricating oil communicating hole, pushing force toward the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush Is granted. Since the lubricating oil is forcibly pushed into the inner peripheral surface of the bush by this pushing force, the supply amount of the lubricating oil to the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush increases. The oil pressure between the inner peripheral surface of the bush and the rotating shaft is increased, and the lubrication performance is improved. Therefore, seizure and damage between the inner peripheral surface of the bush and the rotating shaft can be prevented.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, a groove on the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush according to the first aspect of the present invention may be provided. As a result, the amount of oil supplied to the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush can be increased to further improve the lubricity of the inner peripheral surface.

According to the floating bush bearing of the first aspect of the present invention, the floating bush is rotatably arranged between the rotating shaft and the bearing housing, and the communication hole for lubricating oil is provided to communicate the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush. In a floating bush bearing in which lubricating oil is supplied from the bearing housing to the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the floating bush, the floating bush outer peripheral surface is connected to the opening of the lubricating oil communication hole, and rotates from the lubricating oil communication hole. A shallow groove extending in the shape of an octave from the opening of the communication hole for the lubricating oil to the downstream side in the rotational direction of the rotary shaft is provided extending toward the downstream side in the rotational direction of the shaft. Thus, as the rotational speed of the rotary shaft increases, the inertial force that directs the lubricant stored in the groove toward the opening of the communication hole for the lubricant can be increased, so the amount of lubricant supplied to the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush Can be increased. Accordingly, the lubricity of the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush can be satisfactorily maintained, and it is suitable for a high-speed rotating machine whose rotating shaft rotates at a high speed.

According to the floating bush bearing of the second invention, in addition to the first invention , the floating bush is rotatably arranged between the rotating shaft and the bearing housing, and the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the floating bush are arranged. In a floating bush bearing in which a communicating hole for lubricating oil is provided and the lubricating oil is supplied from the bearing housing to the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush, the lubricating oil communication hole is formed from the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush bearing. By inclining toward the peripheral surface from the downstream side to the upstream side in the rotation direction of the rotary shaft, the lubricating oil communication hole is not in contact with the lubricating oil that has entered the lubricating oil communication hole from the outer peripheral surface of the floating bush. Since the inclining force is applied by the inclined surface toward the inner peripheral surface of the floating bush, the amount of lubricating oil from the lubricating oil communication hole toward the inner surface of the floating bush can be increased. Lubricity of With maintaining good, the rotary shaft is suitable for high-speed rotary machine rotating at a high speed.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, and the like of the component parts described in this embodiment are not intended to limit the present invention to that only, unless otherwise specified.
