Abstract

The present invention provides a protective structure for a magnetic bearing and a magnetic bearing assembly. The protective structure for a magnetic bearing comprises: a first radial bearing protective component, sleeved on a shaft and in a position corresponding to a magnetic bearing, a first gap being radially formed between the first radial bearing protective component and the shaft; and a second radial bearing protective component, sleeved on the shaft and in a position corresponding to the magnetic bearing, a second gap being radially formed between the second radial bearing protective component and the shaft; the height of a working gap being greater than the height of the second gap, the height of the second gap being greater than the height of the first gap. The protective structure for the magnetic bearing and the magnetic bearing assembly effectively solve the problem of lower security between a magnetic bearing and a shaft, since a protective structure for the magnetic bearing is prone to failure in the prior art.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A magnetic bearing assembly comprising a shaft, a magnetic bearing installed on the shaft, and a protective structure for a magnetic bearing, for protecting the magnetic bearing on a shaft from generating friction with the shaft, a working gap being formed between a bearing iron core of the magnetic bearing and the shaft along the radial direction, wherein the protective structure comprises:
a first radial bearing protective component, sleeved on the shaft and corresponding to the position of the magnetic bearing, wherein a first gap is formed between the first radial bearing protective component and the shaft along the radial direction; and
a second radial bearing protective component, sleeved on the shaft and corresponding to the position of the magnetic bearing, wherein a second gap is formed between the second radial bearing protective component and the shaft along the radial direction; and
the height of the working gap is greater than the height of the second gap, and the height of the second gap is greater than the height of the first gap.

2. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the protective structure further comprises a third radial bearing protective component, sleeved on the shaft and corresponding to the position of the magnetic bearing, and a third gap is formed between the third radial bearing protective component and the shaft along the radial direction, the height of the third gap is greater than the height of the second gap, and the height of the third gap is less than the height of the working gap.

3. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the third radial bearing protective component is an anti-collision ring or a ball bearing.

4. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the protective structure further comprises a second sleeve, and the second sleeve is detachably sleeved on the shaft, and the first radial bearing protective component, the second radial bearing protective component and the third radial bearing protective component are arranged on the second sleeve; and
the first gap is formed between the inner ring surface of the first radial bearing protective component and the outer ring surface of the second sleeve, the second gap is formed between the inner ring surface of the second radial bearing protective component and the outer ring surface of the second sleeve, and the third gap is formed between the inner ring surface of the third radial bearing protective component and the outer ring surface of the second sleeve.

5. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the first radial bearing protective component, the second radial bearing protective component and the third radial bearing protective component are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the bearing iron core of the magnetic bearing.

6. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first radial bearing protective component is an anti-collision ring or a ball bearing, and the second radial bearing protective component is an anti-collision ring or a ball bearing.

7. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first radial bearing protective component is a ball bearing, the second radial bearing protective component is an anti-collision ring, and the anti-collision ring is integrated on a gland of the ball bearing.

8. The magnetic bearing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the protective structure further comprises a first sleeve, wherein the first sleeve is detachably sleeved on the shaft, and the first radial bearing protective component and the second radial bearing protective component are both arranged at the first sleeve, the first gap is formed between an inner ring surface of the first radial bearing protective component and an outer ring surface of the first sleeve, and the second gap is formed between the inner ring surface of the second radial bearing protective component and the outer ring surface of the first sleeve.
