Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A spring damper bearing includes a bearing cap, a guide ring and a thrust bearing. The bearing cap and the guide ring are connected together and surround the thrust bearing. The bearing cap includes an annular main body portion and a barrier part which is located on an inner circumferential side of the main body portion. The barrier part has an annular shape and includes an outer circumferential end connected to the main body portion and an inner circumferential end which extends out from the outer circumferential end and is away from the main body portion. The inner circumferential end is nearer than the outer circumferential end to the lower axial side and the inner radial side of the spring damper bearing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A spring damper bearing, comprising a bearing cap, a guide ring and a thrust bearing, the bearing cap and the guide ring being connected together and surrounding the thrust bearing, wherein the bearing cap comprises an annular main body portion and a barrier part that is located on an inner circumferential side of the main body portion, the barrier part is in an annular shape and comprises an outer circumferential end connected to the main body portion and an inner circumferential end extending out from the outer circumferential end and being away from the main body portion, the inner circumferential end being nearer than the outer circumferential end to a lower axial side and an inner radial side of the spring damper bearing; and the barrier part is tapered. 2. The spring damper bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the outer circumferential end of the barrier part is connected to an inner circumferential wall of the main body portion. 3. The spring damper bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the inner circumferential end constitutes an innermost radial part of the bearing cap. 4. The spring damper bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier part is formed by an injection molding process. 5. The spring damper bearing according claim 1 , wherein the barrier part and the main body portion are made of a same material. 6. The spring damper bearing according to claim 5 , wherein the barrier part and the main body portion are integrally formed. 7. A spring damper bearing assembly, comprising a damper cover, a dust cover and the spring damper bearing according to claim 1 , the damper cover being connected to the bearing cap, the dust cover being connected to the guide ring, a gap being formed between the dust cover and the guide ring, the barrier part of the bearing cap being used to block water from entering the gap. 8. The spring damper bearing assembly according to claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the inner circumferential end is less than that of a proximal end, close to the bearing, of the dust cover. 9. The spring damper bearing assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the gap is left between the inner circumferential end and the dust cover in an initial installation state.
