It is composed of a crosshead, a crosshead pin, a bearing, a guide plate and a pull rod. Among them, the crosshead pin and the crosshead adopt a conical surface contact, periodically transmitting the changing thrust and pull force to the crosshead, and there is no relative movement between the two. During the working process, the assembly quality of the crosshead and the crosshead pin has a direct impact on the impact and noise during the operation of the drilling pump. In order to increase the contact area of ​​the conical surface between the two and ensure the matching accuracy of the conical surface, the two need to be paired and ground before assembly.

Through the rotation of the left and right lead screws 5-6, the frame 5-2 slides left and right along the sliding guide rails 5-5 to change the grinding position. The frame 5-2 is provided with a sliding support 5-1, upper and lower sliding guide rails 5-3, and upper and lower lead screws 5-4, wherein the upper and lower sliding guide rails 5-3 are fixed to the frame 5-2 with bolts, and the upper and lower lead screws 5-4 are fixed to the frame 5-2 through bearing seats at both ends; the sliding support 5-1 is installed on the upper and lower sliding guide rails 5-3, and the motor 6 is fixed on the sliding support 5-1. The sliding support 5-1 has a slider that rotates and slides along the upper and lower lead screws 5-4. Through the rotation of the upper and lower lead screws 5-4, the sliding support 5-1 slides up and down along the sliding guide rails 5-3 to lift and lower the cross pin.

[0031] Floating joint 3, such as Figure 2As shown, it includes a double-ear seat 3-1, the upper part of which is placed on a sliding support 5-1 through a plane bearing, and is used to bear the weight of the crosshead pin 1 and the floating joint 3 assembly suspended below it. The shaft head of the motor 6 is inserted into the hole on the upper part of the double-ear seat 3-1, and the shaft holes are interference fit, and a key connection is used to transmit the grinding torque. The double-ear seat 3-1 is connected to the transition double-ear seat 3-3 through the upper pin shaft 3-2, and the shaft holes are clearance fit to ensure that the transition double-ear seat 3-3 can rotate freely along the radial direction of the upper pin shaft 3-2.

The connection tool 3-7 is fixed inside the connection sleeve 3-5 by a clamping assembly; the inner hole of the connection sleeve 3-5 does not contact the shaft hole of the connection tool 3-7, allowing the cross pin to have a certain radial error with the cross head during installation and rotation grinding, solving the problem of high coaxiality requirements when grinding the cross pin 1 and the cross head 2; the upper end of the connection tool 3-7 is provided with a long hole, which is connected to the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 during operation; the lower end of the connection tool 3-7 is fixed to the cross pin 1 by bolts;

[0032] The clamping assembly includes spring clamping sleeves 3-9 arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the connecting sleeve 3-5, and the two are fixedly connected by bolts through the flange at the bottom of the spring clamping sleeve 3-9. The spring clamping sleeve 3-9 is provided with a quick-release pin shaft 3-6 and a spring 3-8. The quick-release pin shaft 3-6 is provided with a positioning pin 3-10, and the end of the positioning pin 3-10 extends into the spring clamping sleeve 3-9.

The shaft hole between the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 and the connecting sleeve 3-5 adopts a clearance fit to facilitate the insertion and removal of the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6. The positioning pin 3-10 and the small hole on the outer wall of the spring compression sleeve 3-9 adopt a clearance fit to facilitate insertion and removal. After the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 is inserted into the inner hole of the connecting tool 3-7 (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the radial direction of the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 has a gap with the connecting tool 3-7, ensuring that no additional radial force and downward pressure are applied to the cross pin 1 during rotational grinding; when the sliding support 5-1 is lifted up, the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 contacts the upper part of the long hole of the connecting tool 3-7, so that the cross pin 1 can move up and down with the sliding support 5-1, which is used to apply and clean the grinding paste and check the grinding effect. After the grinding is completed, the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 is pulled out and rotated, and the end of the positioning pin 3-10 presses against the end of the spring compression sleeve 3-9 to achieve the quick separation of the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 and the connecting tool 3-7.

[0033] Positioning clamping mechanism 4, such as Figure 3As shown, it includes two positioning plates 4-1 fixed side by side on the workbench 7. The positioning plates 4-1 are fixed to the workbench 7 with bolts. The side of the positioning plates 4-1 contacts the arc surface of the crosshead 2 to locate the left and right positions of the crosshead 2. The outer sides of the two positioning plates 4-1 are fixed with bases 4-5. The bases 4-5 are vertically arranged and fixed to the workbench 7 with bolts at the bottom.

The support 4-4 is used to support the pressure plate 4-3. Figure 3 As shown on the right; when released, the oil cylinder 4-2 pulls the rear end of the pressing plate 4-3 downward, and the front end of the pressing plate 4-3 is lifted and separated from the crosshead 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 Shown on the left.

When the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 is aligned with the long hole on the connecting tooling 3-7, the spring 3-8 presses the quick-plug pin shaft 3-6 into the long hole on the connecting tooling 3-7 to achieve connection.

[0037] Step 3, the moving mechanism 5 drives the cross pin 1 to be lifted up to apply the grinding paste on the grinding cone surface, and then lowered, and grinds reciprocatingly according to the preset speed and rotation angle.

[0038] Step 4, the moving mechanism 5 drives the cross pin 1 to lift up and clean the grinding paste on the conical surface, then lower it, pull out the quick-plug pin shafts 3-6 on both sides and rotate them, so that the thin pin shafts are disengaged from the small holes and press against the outer end surface of the spring compression sleeve 3-9, so as to quickly disengage the plug shaft 3-6 from the connecting tooling 3-7, and operate the moving structure 5 to move up.

[0039] Step 5: Move the moving mechanism 5 to the next station and repeat steps 1 to 4.

[0040] The motor is used as the power to drive the crosshead pin to reciprocate in the inner hole of the crosshead to achieve the purpose of grinding. The motor can rotate forward and reverse at a preset angle at a low speed to achieve the reciprocating rotation requirements of grinding.

[0041] The automated grinding device of the present invention adopts a motor-driven moving mechanism to drive the crosshead pin to move up and down, so as to realize the loading and unloading of the crosshead pin, and facilitate the coating and cleaning of the grinding paste.
