The Simulation Analysis and Experimental Study on the Temperature Field of Four Row Rolling Bearings of Rolling Mill...

As a key component of the rolling mill, the four-row cylindrical roller bearing (FCRB) operates under complex working conditions of high speed, high temperature, and heavy load. Due to the lack of an effective temperature test scheme for rolling mill bearings, a too high temperature can easily lead to bearing failure or damage under unsteady conditions. To reveal the internal temperature distribution law of four-row roller bearings of rolling mills and solve the common problem of difficult temperature monitoring of rolling mill bearings, in this paper, a four-row cylindrical roller bearing of 1140 mm cold rolling six-high mill is taken as the research object, and the temperature field calculation model for four-row cylindrical roller bearings is established. Firstly, the mechanical analysis model of FCRB is established on the basis of single row bearing by slice method. Secondly, the mechanical calculation model of FCRB is established by the Newton-Raphson method (NRM) and the finite element method (FEM). Thirdly, based on the mechanical calculation model, the finite element method is used to establish the temperature field model of FCRB under uniform load distribution and non-uniform load distribution. Finally, the temperature test experiment is carried out with the FCRB in the rolling mill fault diagnosis test bench. The results show that the error between the FCRB temperature calculation model and the experimental results is less than 10%. It can be seen that the uneven temperature distribution of FCRB is mainly caused by the uneven load distribution. The temperature distribution along the axial direction of the bearing is related to the load distribution of each column, while the circumferential temperature distribution is related to the azimuth angle.
