2. Description of the Related Art Rotating members such as turbine blades and rotors of turbo pumps are generally supported by magnetic bearings and rotate at very high speed. The device having such a rotating body has a case on the outside, and the rotating body is covered by the case. However, if the rotor rotating at high speed is damaged during rotation for some reason, the rotor is completely destroyed at a stretch by high speed rotation, and fragments are scattered. The splattered fragments fly out of the shaft end of the device, which is not covered by the case. Therefore, the peripheral devices may be damaged by these flying debris. To solve such a problem, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-4392 discloses a rotor structure in which a dividing groove is provided between an upper portion and a lower portion of a rotor to prevent damage caused from the lower portion from spreading to the upper portion. A turbo molecular pump is disclosed. According to such a rotor structure, damage to the rotor is prevented by half-breaking,
The amount of scattered fragments can be reduced.

The kinetic energy absorbing device 2 includes a cylindrical inner ring member 3 disposed along the outer periphery of the rotating body 1 with a certain gap between the rotating body 1 and the inner ring member 3. Orbit (20-30% Bd (ball diameter)) 3 formed on the outer peripheral surface
a rolling element (ball) 4 which comes into contact with a by rolling friction;
2 is held between the outer ring member 3 and the inner ring member 3 to thereby rotatably support the inner ring member 3 in the clockwise direction in FIG. The outer ring member 5 is fixed to a stationary portion of a structure (not shown). Note that a plurality of tracks 3a of the rolling elements 4 are provided at predetermined intervals in the axial direction only on the inner ring member 3, and the inner surface of the outer ring member 5
It is a cylindrical inner surface without a track. In a state where the rolling element 4 is sandwiched between the inner race member 3 and the outer race member 5, the outer race member 5
The pins 6 are driven in from several places on the outer peripheral side of the upper end. The tip of the driven pin 6 is inserted into a pin hole 3 b drilled on the outer peripheral side of the upper end of the inner ring member 3. Therefore, the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5 are not separated from each other in the axial direction by the pins 6. In addition, the position of the pin 6 may be any location other than the above location, such as the central portion in the axial direction, as long as the location does not hinder the movement of the rolling element 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the rolling elements 4 are loaded in the circumferential direction with almost no gap, and have a so-called all-ball bearing configuration. Therefore, the kinetic energy absorbing device 2 exhibits high load resistance. Since the rolling elements 4 cannot be rolled without any gaps between the rolling elements, it is necessary to provide a gap in the circumferential direction of at least one rolling element and an angle of 30 degrees or less. .

The kinetic energy absorbing device 2 also functions as a case that covers the rotating body 1. For the inner ring member 3, the rolling elements 4, and the outer ring member 5, the same stainless steel or high carbon chromium bearing steel as the material used for the bearing is used. The hardness of the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5 is HRC 30 to 45, and the hardness of the rolling elements 4 is HRC 60 or more. The hardness (HRC30 to 45) of the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5 is
It is lower than the hardness generally adopted for the inner and outer rings of the bearing, and is therefore relatively soft. Low hardness means that it is easily deformed and hardly cracks under an impact load. The entire surface of the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5 has Mo S
Two coatings are applied to achieve solid lubrication and rust prevention.

Next, the operation of the kinetic energy absorbing device 2 for a rotating body configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 2, but showing a state in which the rotating body 1 is damaged during high-speed rotation in a counterclockwise direction. If the rotating body 1 breaks during high-speed rotation, fragments are scattered in a direction in which the centrifugal force in the radial direction and the rotational speed in the tangential direction are combined (see the arrow A in the figure). When the scattered debris collides with the inner race member 3, the inner race member 3 is driven in a counterclockwise direction, that is, in the rotation direction of the rotating body 1, and
Rotate. At this time, a part of the kinetic energy held by the fragments is replaced by the rotational energy of the inner ring member 3 and is absorbed by the inner ring member 3. As a result,
The kinetic energy of the debris is reduced and the flying speed is reduced. Therefore, the inner ring member 3 is not broken by the fragments. Further, with the configuration of a full ball bearing in which the rolling elements 4 are loaded without gaps, damage to the entire apparatus is more reliably prevented.

The inner ring member 3 directly receives the impact load at the time of the collision of the debris, and the outer ring member 5 also receives the impact load via the rolling elements 4. Will not occur. On the other hand, the track 3a of the inner race member 3 is slightly plastically deformed by the impact load at the time of the collision of the fragments. The rolling element 4 moves while rotating with the rotation of the inner ring member 3. Here, the rolling element 4 moves on the track 3a in which the plastic deformation has occurred as described above. Therefore,
The frictional resistance is large, and the kinetic energy of the rolling elements 4 rapidly changes to heat energy. Further, since the rolling elements 4 are loaded with almost no gap, they interfere with each other, and kinetic energy is consumed by friction. Further, kinetic energy is also consumed by friction between the rolling element 4 and the outer ring member 5. Thus, the rotational energy of the inner ring member 3 is safely absorbed by being converted into thermal energy due to friction, and the rotating inner ring member 3 is braked. In addition to the case where the rotating body 1 is disassembled and scattered as described above, even when the entire rotating body 1 is detached from a bearing or the like that supports the rotating body 1, the entire rotating body 1 is controlled by the inner ring member 3. Thus, the entire device can be prevented from being damaged.

In the above embodiment, the hardness of the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5 is set lower than the hardness used for the bearing. However, the hardness is reduced by either the inner ring member 3 or the outer ring member 5. good. However, it is desirable to lower the hardness of the inner ring member 3 which directly receives the impact load. In the above embodiment, the track 3a is the inner race member 3
However, it may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member 5. However, in any case, the hardness of the member on which the track is provided is reduced or the hardness of only the periphery of the track is reduced.
It is necessary to cause plastic deformation of the track. In addition,
A track cannot be provided on both the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5. This is because assembly becomes impossible. In addition, it is also possible to obtain an approximate effect without necessarily lowering the hardness of the inner ring member 3 and the outer ring member 5. For example, a shock absorbing member is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the inner race member 3 and the inner race member 3
A configuration in which the brake means is directly pressed into contact with the shaft is also possible. The size of the energy absorbing device 2 can be arbitrarily set according to the size of the rotating body 1.
May be provided in the axial direction.

As a result, the frictional resistance between the rolling elements and the orbit increases, and the kinetic energy absorption efficiency increases.
