Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This invention provides a device capable of simultaneously grinding multiple plunger ball heads. The device includes a slipper fixing gear 2, a slipper fixing gear bracket 3, a slipper rotation transmission gear set, a retractable ball head fixing assembly, a cam rocking mechanism, a main shaft fixing bracket 13, and a ball head grinding pressure application assembly. The slipper fixing gear 2 is mounted on the slipper fixing gear bracket 3, and the slipper rotation transmission gear set is connected to the slipper fixing gear bracket 3. The retractable ball head fixing assembly is connected to the cam rocking mechanism. The cam rocking mechanism is connected to the main shaft fixing bracket 13, and the ball head grinding pressure application assembly is connected to both the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 and the main shaft fixing bracket 13.

[0029] The slipper fixing gear bracket 3 is basically disc-shaped and has multiple mounting holes evenly arranged along its central axis. Multiple bearings are installed in these mounting holes, and the multiple slipper fixing gears 2 are mounted on the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 via these bearings. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes is the same as the number of slippers 1, both being 10. The slippers 1 to be ground are mounted on the slipper fixing gears 2 via variable diameter sleeves, and the variable diameter sleeves can be replaced to accommodate slippers of different diameters.

[0030] Please see Figure 4The slipper rotation transmission gear set includes a large gear 16, a small gear 17, an idler gear 18, a coaxial gear 19, and a main shaft gear 20, all meshing with multiple slipper fixed gears 2. The small gear 17 is connected to the large gear 16 via a shaft, and the large gear 16 and the small gear 17 are located on opposite sides of the slipper fixed gear bracket 3. The idler gear 18 meshes with the small gear 17. The coaxial gear 19 includes a first gear, a first shaft connected at one end to the first gear, and a second gear connected at the other end of the first shaft. The first gear meshes with the idler gear 18, and the second gear meshes with the main shaft gear 20. The main shaft gear 20 is fixedly connected to a main shaft 15. The main shaft 15 is vertically arranged. In this embodiment, the size of the second gear is slightly larger than the size of the first gear.

[0031] The configuration of the slide shoe rotation transmission gear set ensures that the rotation direction of the slide shoe 1 is the same as the swing direction of the ball head 22, similar to instant milling in turning and milling. Moreover, the rotation speed of the slide shoe 1 is much greater than the swing speed of the ball head 22, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of ball head grinding.

[0032] Please see Figure 6 The retractable ball joint fixing assembly includes a first sliding sleeve 7, a second sliding sleeve 8, and a cross-shaped universal joint 9. One end of the second sliding sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the cross-shaped universal joint 9, and one end of the first sliding sleeve 7 is fitted inside the other end of the second sliding sleeve 8. The first sliding sleeve 7 and the second sliding sleeve 8 slide relative to each other to change the length of the retractable ball joint fixing assembly. The relative positions of the first sliding sleeve 7 and the second sliding sleeve 8 are locked by screws to fix the length formed by the first sliding sleeve 7 and the second sliding groove 8. In this embodiment, a set screw is provided on one side of the first sliding sleeve 7 to fix the ball head 22 and prevent the ball head 22 from coming out of the first sliding sleeve 7. An internal thread is provided on the end of the first sliding sleeve 7 away from the second sliding sleeve 8, and the first sliding sleeve 7 forms a threaded connection with the ball head 22 through the internal thread. During operation, the ball head 22 forms a movable connection with the slipper 1.

[0033] Please see Figure 5The cam rocking mechanism includes a U-shaped cam rod 12 and a rocking disk 10, with two cam bearings mounted at opposite ends of the cam rod 12. The rocking disk 10 has a groove, the central axis of which coincides with the central axis of the rocking disk 10. The rocking disk 10 also has multiple receiving holes arranged circumferentially at equal intervals, used to accommodate the cross-shaped universal joint 9. The cam bearings are disposed within the groove, allowing the rocking disk 10 to withstand forces in two axial directions. The eccentricity of the cam rod 12 is adjustable. In this embodiment, the bottom of the cam rod 12 has a mounting groove, and bolts and connecting pieces cooperate to detachably connect the cam rod 12 to the main shaft 15.

[0034] One end of the spindle 15 passes through the spindle fixing bracket 13 and is connected to the spindle gear 20. In this embodiment, the spindle fixing bracket 13 is basically disc-shaped.

[0035] The ball head grinding and pressure application assembly includes multiple first connecting plates, multiple optical axes 4, multiple optical axis linear bearings 5, multiple coil springs 6, multiple quick-release clamping rings 11, and multiple second connecting plates 14. One end of each of the first connecting plates is fixedly connected to the edge of the slipper fixing gear bracket 3. The multiple optical axis linear bearings 5 ​​are respectively disposed at the other end of the multiple first connecting plates and sleeved on one end of the optical axis 4, allowing the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 to float axially along the optical axis. The other end of the optical axis 4 is connected to one end of the second connecting plate 14, and the other end of the second connecting plate 14 is connected to the outer edge of the spindle fixing bracket 13. The quick-release clamping ring 11 is disposed at one end of the optical axis 4 adjacent to the second connecting plate 14. The coil spring 6 is sleeved on the optical axis 4, and its two ends are respectively connected to the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 and the quick-release clamping ring 11. By adjusting the position of the quick-release clamping ring 11, the coil spring 6 can be in a compressed or stretched state, thereby applying pressure or tension to the ball head 22. In this embodiment, the number of optical axes 4, the number of optical axis linear bearings 5, the number of coil springs 6, and the number of quick-release clamping rings 11 are all the same, which is five. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of optical axes 4, linear bearings 5, coil springs 6, and quick-release clamping rings 11 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0036] When the main shaft 15 rotates, the cam rod 12 rotates and drives the rocker disk 10 to revolve around a fixed center without rotation. This revolve motion drives the telescopic ball head fixing assembly, composed of the cross shaft universal joint 9, the second sliding sleeve 8, and the first sliding sleeve 7, to swing around the center of the ball head 22 with the tail end in a circular swing motion. At the same time, the main shaft gear 20 also drives other gears, ultimately causing multiple shoe fixing gears 2 to synchronously drive the shoe 1 to rotate, performing a combined rotation and swing grinding process.

[0037] In addition to adjusting the eccentricity, the cam rod 12 can also adjust its axial position, thereby changing the axial position of the entire rocker plate 10. The first sliding sleeve 7 and the second sliding sleeve 8 on the telescopic ball head fixing assembly can adjust the overall length by loosening the screws, so as to accommodate ball heads of different lengths and realize rocking motion at different angles.

[0038] By setting the eccentricity and position of the cam rod 12 and the length of the telescopic ball head fixing assembly, the position of the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 can be adjusted adaptively and uniquely. At this time, by adjusting the position of the quick-release clamping ring 11, a pulling force or a pressure can be applied to the slipper fixing gear bracket 3 to achieve the purpose of applying grinding pressure to the ball head 22.

[0039] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
