Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rolling processing tools, in particular to a rolling burnishing tool used for rolling and finishing metal workpieces. Background Art
[0002] The technical field to which the utility model relates is rolling processing, a pressure processing method, which belongs to a precision processing technology that does not generate chips. Rolling processing causes the surface of the workpiece to produce tiny plastic deformation by bringing the rolling element of the rolling device into contact with the surface of the workpiece and applying pressure. Subsequently, through the main movement and feed movement of the workpiece or the rolling device, this tiny plastic deformation is extended to the entire surface to be processed, thereby achieving precision processing of the workpiece surface. This processing method can significantly improve the roughness level of the workpiece surface and eliminate small defects on the surface. In addition, the cold work hardening effect will also increase the hardness of the workpiece surface and enhance its wear resistance. When performing precision rolling processing, deep groove ball bearings are usually used as rolling elements, and their outer cylindrical surface is used as the rolling surface to process the surface of metal workpieces with an elongation of ≥3%.
[0003] The shortcomings of the existing technology include: Line contact between the rolling element and the workpiece surface: On the section perpendicular to the main motion direction, since the rolling element and the workpiece surface are in line contact, the rolling pressure obtained is relatively small, and more power is required to achieve the same processing accuracy. This will increase the workload of the equipment, accelerate equipment wear and precision loss. The curvature radius of the rolling surface is large: On the section perpendicular to the feed motion direction, the curvature radius of the rolling surface is large, which increases the compressive deformation range of the workpiece, resulting in a decrease in rolling pressure. In order to achieve the target precision surface, it is necessary to increase the rolling pressure, increase the power consumption and workload of the equipment, and accelerate equipment wear and precision loss. The parallel accuracy of the outer cylindrical surface is difficult to adjust: The parallel accuracy of the outer cylindrical surface element line of the rolling surface and the feed motion direction is not easy to adjust, which makes the workpiece surface prone to scaling or peeling, and the target precision requirements cannot be achieved. This is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a rolling burnishing tool for rolling and finishing metal workpieces, which solves the technical problems of the existing technology such as low surface roughness level, complex structure and small processing range.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a rolling tool for rolling and finishing metal workpieces, including a tool handle, a pin is fixedly installed on the tool handle, a deep groove ball bearing is installed on the pin, a steel ball rack is fixedly installed at the front end of the tool handle, a steel ball hole is provided at the front end of the steel ball rack, a carbide ball is movably installed in the steel ball hole, and the overall shape of the carbide ball (commonly known as: tungsten steel ball) is a sphere and the material is carbide. It has the characteristics of high hardness, high surface roughness and wear resistance. The steel ball rack is a bracket-type part made of wear-resistant alloy steel. After heat treatment, it has high hardness and good wear resistance. A steel ball hole is provided in its center position, and the transition part of the steel ball hole is a local inner spherical surface with a high surface roughness. The hole is used to accommodate the carbide ball and limit the height of the carbide ball exposed outside the steel ball rack.
[0006] Preferably, a U-shaped end plate is provided at the front end of the knife handle, the pin shaft passes vertically through the front end of the knife handle, and the deep groove ball bearing is rotatably installed in the front end of the knife handle. The knife handle is a fork-rod type part. At one end of the square handle, there is a fork-shaped structure consisting of two parallel lugs. The convex shape of the outer free end of the fork-shaped structure is the same as the concave shape of the steel ball rack, which plays a positioning role. Threaded holes are provided on the upper and lower sides of the fork-shaped structure for connecting to the steel ball rack. A cylindrical through hole is also provided on the fork-shaped structure at a designed position perpendicular to the large plane.
[0007] Preferably, a pair of retaining ring grooves are formed at both ends of the pin shaft, and a pair of shaft elastic retaining rings are fixedly installed in the pair of retaining ring grooves. The two shaft elastic retaining rings are used to restrict the pin shaft on the tool handle to prevent it from falling out.

Threaded holes are provided on the upper and lower sides of the fork-shaped structure for connecting to the steel ball holder 4.

[0018] The detailed connection means are well known in the art; Figure 1 The roller burnishing tool shown is suitable for precision rolling of metal workpiece surfaces with an elongation of 3% or greater. It features the following features: The rolling element utilizes a carbide ball 5 (tungsten steel ball) of appropriate diameter; on the opposite side of the rolling workpoint, the carbide ball 5 contacts the outer cylindrical surface of a deep groove ball bearing 3.
