Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerospace technology, specifically a grinding device for the closing of aerospace self-locking nuts. Background Technology
[0002] Self-locking nuts used in industries such as aerospace employ a compression method to compress the screw hole at the end of the nut. This causes radial plastic deformation of the screw hole at the end, making its radial dimension smaller than that of the connected screw. This ensures a tight connection between the nut and the screw, preventing loosening. Depending on the structure, size, and application conditions, self-locking nuts are classified into two-point, three-point, four-point, and elliptical types. The accuracy of the radial deformation of the screw hole at the end of the nut is crucial to ensuring the anti-loosening effect when the self-locking nut is connected to the screw. Currently, there are two main methods for processing the end cap of nuts: using a punch press combined with an end cap die and using a hydraulic end cap machine combined with an end cap die. In both of these methods, some burrs or protrusions remain at the edges and corners of the self-locking nut after the end cap process, affecting the actual fit. Although the existing grinding devices can effectively grind the burrs, their grinding precision is low, resulting in a gap in the fit of the self-locking nut during use. At the same time, burrs will still remain at the edge of the end cap during grinding, requiring subsequent finishing.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a grinding device for the closing of aerospace self-locking nuts to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, a grinding device for the closing of aerospace self-locking nuts includes:
[0041] Frame body 1;
[0042] Mounting bearing 11 is fixed to one side of the frame body 1, and an inner shaft 14 is rotatably provided inside the mounting bearing 11.
[0043] The upper shaft disc 12 is fixed on the inner shaft rod 14;
[0044] A drive motor 13 is disposed on one side of the frame body 1, and the output end of the drive motor 13 is connected to the upper shaft disk 12 for transmission via a transmission belt;
[0045] The threaded shaft is fixed above the upper shaft disc 12 with the same center, and is used for the threaded connection of the self-locking nut; thereby realizing the fixation of the self-locking nut;
[0046] The coarse grinding device 2 is vertically mounted above the upper shaft disk 12, and is capable of performing initial grinding on the upper end face of the self-locking nut.
[0047] The continuous grinding component 3 is disposed on one side of the coarse grinding device 2. The continuous grinding component 3 can perform secondary grinding on the self-locking nut's closing end based on the previous grinding process of the coarse grinding device 2. That is, the self-locking nut is first subjected to preliminary grinding on the upper end surface of the closing end by the coarse grinding device under low speed rotation, with a grinding accuracy in the range of 0.1mm-0.5mm, and the continuous grinding component follows up with subsequent grinding, with a grinding accuracy in the range of 0.04mm-0.08mm.
[0048] In this embodiment, the coarse grinding device 2 includes:
[0049] External body 21;
[0050] The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably disposed within the outer body 21;
[0051] The built-in motor 23 is fixed inside the outer body 21, and the output end of the built-in motor 23 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22;
[0052] The grinding disc 24 is rotatably disposed below the rotating shaft 22. A drive shaft 25 is vertically rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 22. One end of the drive shaft 25 is fixed to the grinding disc 24. The grinding disc is mainly driven to rotate at high speed by the drive shaft and comes into contact with the self-locking nut to achieve the grinding work.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the drive shaft 25 and the rotating shaft 22 are eccentrically arranged. In particular, under the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the grinding disc can perform continuous feeding grinding work. On the one hand, it can discharge the abrasive in time, and on the other hand, it can ensure the overall grinding effect and avoid intermittent slippage.
[0054] In this embodiment, the continuous polishing component 3 includes:
[0055] A sliding guide 31 is vertically mounted above the upper shaft disk 12, and an adjustment seat 32 is slidably provided on the sliding guide 31.
[0056] Mounting side member 33 is fixed to the adjusting seat 32, and the cross-section of the mounting side member 33 is set as an arc-shaped structure; and
[0057] There are multiple adjustable polishing devices 4 arranged in a row, and each of the adjustable polishing devices 4 is mounted on the mounting side member 33.
[0058] In this embodiment, the mounting side piece 33 and the upper shaft plate 12 are arranged in concentric circles. That is to say, the adjustable grinding device located on the mounting side piece can perform grinding work when the self-locking nut rotates at low speed.
[0059] In this embodiment, the adjustable polishing device 4 includes:
[0060] The fixing bracket 41 is rotatably mounted on the mounting side member 33;
[0061] The telescopic rod 43 is adjusted and connected between the fixed frame 41 and the mounting side piece 33;
[0062] The main drive wheel 42 is rotatably disposed in the middle of the fixed frame 41;
[0063] Side connectors 44 are symmetrically hinged to both sides of the fixed frame 41, and a first telescopic guide rod 45 is provided between the side connectors 44 and the fixed frame 41.
[0064] An external frame 46 is slidably and adjustablely mounted on each of the side connectors 44. Each external frame 46 has a mounting body rotatably mounted on it, and each mounting body has a transmission wheel 48 rotatably mounted on it.
[0065] The second telescopic guide rod 47 is connected between the external frame 46 and the mounting body. A grinding belt is provided between the transmission wheel 48 and the main drive wheel 42. The mounting angle of the fixed frame can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic action of the telescopic rod. The first telescopic guide rod and the second telescopic guide rod can effectively adjust the positioning and mounting point of the mounting body, thereby changing the grinding angle of the grinding belt.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing frame 41 is also symmetrically provided with elastic telescopic members 49. One end of the elastic telescopic member 49 is in contact with the grinding belt through the pressure adjusting wheel so that the grinding belt body is always taut through the pressure adjusting wheel.
[0067] Specifically, in the grinding process of self-locking nuts, the self-locking nut is threaded onto a threaded shaft and driven to rotate at a low speed by an upper shaft disc. Under the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the grinding disc can perform continuous feed grinding, achieving a rough grinding effect on the upper surface of the self-locking nut. Furthermore, the adjustable grinding device located on the mounting side is adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic rod, in conjunction with the first and second telescopic guide rods, to adjust the grinding angle of the grinding belt. At this time (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown, the grinding belt at the first position grinds radially and rotates clockwise; the grinding belt at the second position grinds axially and rotates counterclockwise, causing burrs at the closing edge of the self-locking nut to accumulate there; the grinding belt at the third position grinds at a 20° angle and rotates counterclockwise; and the grinding belt at the fourth position grinds at a 20° angle and rotates counterclockwise, thus completely removing burrs at the closing edge and achieving a smooth and complete grinding surface. The self-locking nut only needs to rotate 1-3 cycles, resulting in high grinding precision.
[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
