The floating joint 403041 contains a pair of spherical pairs, which can make the axis of the roller mounting seat 403042 (and the clamping roller 40304) do a certain range of yaw motion in the vertical direction. Based on this structure, the clamping roller 40304 can adaptively maintain perpendicularity to the surface a of the workpiece, ensuring that the clamping force is perpendicular to the surface a of the workpiece, and preventing the generation of radial force components that cause abnormal wear of the roller; the radial positioning mechanism includes An expansion sleeve clamping block 40310 fixed on the center hole 403052 of the tooling shaft 40305 and provided with a flange 403101, an expansion sleeve 40311 provided between the upper end surface of the tooling shaft 40305 and the flange 403101 of the expansion sleeve clamping block 40310, and an expansion sleeve clamping mechanism provided on the expansion sleeve clamping block 40310, wherein the expansion sleeve clamping mechanism comprises an expansion sleeve clamping cylinder 40301 fixed on the bracket 4025, an expansion sleeve clamping shaft 40306 connected to the expansion sleeve clamping cylinder 40301 and passing through the center hole 403021 of the cylinder mounting component 40302 in the axial positioning mechanism, and a compression sleeve 40310 provided on the expansion sleeve clamping block 40310. The bearing 40312 is arranged on the mounting block 40313 at the lower end of the expansion sleeve clamping shaft 40306, the pressure plate assembly 40307 is connected to the mounting block 40313 through an elastic fastener, and the spherical adjustment pair 40308 is arranged between the mounting block 40313 and the pressure plate assembly 40307, ​​and the spherical adjustment pair 40308 includes an upper spherical panel and a lower spherical panel that can rotate 360 ​​degrees with respect to each other; the elastic fastener includes a bolt 40314, a nut 40315 matched with the bolt 40314, and a spring 40309 sleeved on the bolt 40314 and located between the mounting block 40313 and the nut 40315.

[0050] Axial positioning and clamping of the workpiece positioning and clamping unit 403: Fig.13 , Fig.14 As shown, when loading, the workpiece (brake disc) a is placed with its step surface facing downward on the upper end surface of the tooling shaft 40305 to achieve axial positioning; then the three axial clamping cylinders 40303 arranged along the circumference are actuated to drive the clamping roller 40304 downward to act on the upper processing surface of the workpiece a to complete the axial clamping.

[0051] The surface of the clamping roller 40304 is rubber-coated, with moderate hardness and an arc-shaped outer circle to avoid damaging the precision of the workpiece a processing surface; the clamping force of the clamping roller 40304 is controlled by a pneumatic proportional valve and a precision pressure regulating valve. During processing, the control system can adjust the clamping force of the clamping roller 40304 in real time through the axial clamping cylinder 40303 to automatically adapt to different processing stages. The control of the clamping force of the clamping roller is as follows: Fig.16 shown.

[0052] Radial positioning and clamping of the workpiece positioning and clamping unit 403: Fig.14 , Fig.15 As shown, after the workpiece a is axially positioned and clamped, the radial positioning mechanism is activated, and driven by the expansion sleeve clamping cylinder of the expansion sleeve clamping mechanism, the expansion sleeve clamping shaft 403 drives the pressure plate assembly 40307 to move downward to press the expansion sleeve clamping block 40310, and the expansion sleeve 40311 is compressed by the expansion sleeve clamping block 40310. The expansion sleeve 40311 is a highly elastic hollow-shaped part, which expands radially when axially compressed, and its outer cylindrical surface contacts and is tensioned with the inner hole of the workpiece a, thereby realizing radial positioning and clamping of the workpiece a.

[0053] Since a pair of spherical adjustment pairs 40308 are provided between the mounting block 40313 of the expansion sleeve clamping mechanism and the pressure plate assembly 40307, ​​and four groups of evenly distributed elastic fasteners are used to perform soft connection between the mounting block 40313 and the pressure plate assembly 40307, ​​this structure can ensure that when the expansion sleeve clamping shaft 403 of the expansion sleeve clamping mechanism is not perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece a, the force exerted by the pressure plate assembly 40307 on the expansion sleeve clamping shaft 403 can adaptively maintain perpendicularity to the surface of the workpiece a.

[0054] The radial clamping force of the workpiece a is determined by the deformation of the expansion sleeve 40311 , which is determined by the stroke of the expansion sleeve clamping shaft 403 . Each size of the workpiece a corresponds to one expansion sleeve 40311 .

[0055] See Fig.17The workpiece rotation drive unit 404 includes a servo mechanism and a high-precision gear pair. The servo mechanism includes a servo motor 4041 and a precision reducer 4042 connected to the servo motor 4041. The high-precision gear pair is composed of a driving shaft system 4043 connected to the output shaft of the precision reducer 4042, and a gear of a rotation shaft system 4045 connected to the driving shaft system 4043 through the gear of an idler shaft system 4044. The tooling shaft 40305 in the workpiece positioning and clamping unit 403 is installed on the rotation shaft system 4045. The servo mechanism and the high-precision gear pair can ensure that the workpiece a has high rotation accuracy.

[0056] Due to the material characteristics of the carbon fiber brake disc workpiece a, the grinding chips produced during processing contain a large amount of carbon powder (graphite) particles, which have very small particle sizes and are of the same family as the main components of the grinding wheel abrasives. They are easily attached to the grinding wheel, causing blockage of the grinding wheel and burns of the workpiece. Fig.18 , Fig.19 As shown, the upper grinding wheel 204 and the lower grinding wheel 304 in the present invention adopt narrow annular sand tile type grinding wheels, and the sand tile c and the grinding wheel base b are assembled structures. A group of sand tiles c are evenly fixed in the installation groove around the grinding wheel base b by screws, which is convenient for installation and replacement. The sand tile c is a narrow strip type, and the working surface of the grinding wheel is a narrow ring. The diameter difference between the inner and outer circles is very small, and the linear speed is basically the same, which can ensure the processing accuracy of the grinding wheel. There are multiple independent water channels d evenly distributed along the circumference inside the grinding wheel base b, and each sand tile c corresponds to a water channel d, so that each sand tile c has an independent source of coolant; the high-pressure coolant entering the grinding wheel from the grinding head spindle sprays and strongly washes the working surface of the sand tile c at a certain angle, which can ensure the washing and cooling effect of the grinding wheel. According to the material characteristics of carbon fiber, in a group of sand tiles c, sand tiles c with different parameters can be freely combined. Taking 24 sand tiles c per pair of grinding wheels as an example, sand tiles c with different abrasive parameters can be mixed and matched in groups of 3×8, 4×6, etc., which can effectively improve grinding accuracy and efficiency, which is impossible for conventional grinding wheels. Sand tiles c are sintered, the base c1 is structural steel, and the abrasive c2 fixed on the base c1 is diamond.

When the axis position of the upper bearing seat 601 needs to be adjusted, the fixing screw 618 on the upper bearing seat 601 can be loosened, and the position of the upper bearing seat 601 relative to the pressure ring 619 (and the housing mounting hole) can be fine-tuned by using the adjusting screw 615. After the adjustment is in place, the fixing screw 618 of the upper bearing seat 601 is tightened, and then the adjusting screw 615 is tightened. This structure can conveniently adjust the verticality of the center line of the supporting shaft system relative to the housing hole, while ensuring the rigidity of the trimming components.

[0058] The outer edge of the dressing disc 603 is fixed with an oil stone 604, which is used to dress the grinding wheel, and the working surface of the oil stone 604 is the upper and lower end surfaces.
