Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ball valve manufacturing equipment, specifically a grinding structure and ball valve manufacturing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A ball valve is a type of valve in which the valve stem drives the valve to rotate around the ball valve axis. It can be used for the regulation and control of fluids. During the production of ball valves, the ball (the valve's opening and closing element) needs to be polished to ensure that the surface roughness of the ball meets the requirements.
[0003] Currently, grinding the ball of a ball valve requires selecting a grinding wheel with a suitable arc diameter working surface, fixing the ball with a clamp, and driving the clamp to rotate with a motor, so that the ball rotates at high speed within the working surface of the grinding wheel, thereby achieving grinding of the ball;
[0004] However, the working surface of the grinding wheel will wear down during the grinding process, and it will not be able to keep in constant contact with the surface of the ball, thus failing to guarantee the grinding effect. Furthermore, the contact between the working surface of the grinding wheel and the surface of the ball is rigid. If the force is not properly controlled when controlling the contact between the grinding wheel and the ball, it can easily lead to damage to the grinding wheel or the ball. Summary of the Invention

[0021] This invention proposes a grinding structure that uses a fixture to hold the ball of a ball valve and a motor to drive the ball valve to rotate at high speed, activating the grinding module and causing the grinding discs to come into contact with the surface of the ball valve. The motor drives the ball valve to rotate, while the telescopic base drives multiple sets of grinding discs to rotate, thus achieving grinding of the surface of the ball valve. Because the grinding discs are elastically set by torsion springs, and the telescopic base extends and retracts due to inertia, the problem of wear on the working surface of the grinding wheel during the grinding process, which prevents it from staying in contact with the surface of the ball and thus cannot guarantee the grinding effect, is solved.

[0022] By adjusting the length of the output shaft of the grinding module, the angle and force of the grinding disc against the ball valve body can be adjusted, thus enabling the grinding of more ball valve bodies of various models. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Based on Embodiment 1, to enable the movement of the telescopic base 4, the guide rod 32 has a spiral cylindrical structure.

The guide ring 41 compresses the top holding spring 7 through the washer ring 6, causing the telescopic base 4 to move outward from the mounting base 3.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] Based on Embodiment 2, in order to achieve the angle change of the grinding disc 5, the retaining ring 46 and the telescopic base 4 are integral structures. The first bracket 47 is set inside the retaining ring 46 and is fixedly connected to the telescopic base 4. Multiple sets of the first bracket 47 are provided, and each set of the first bracket 47 consists of two sets of side plates. The two ends of the rotating shaft 48 are fixedly connected to the two sets of side plates respectively. Multiple sets of grinding discs 5 are provided.

[0042] During the movement of the telescopic base 4, the grinding disc 5 is in contact with the surface of the ball valve ball 8 and is squeezed by the ball valve ball 8. The end of the grinding disc 5 away from the retaining ring 46 folds inward into the telescopic base 4, changing the angle of the grinding disc 5 to adapt to different positions on the surface of the ball valve ball 8. By adjusting the length of the output shaft of the grinding module 2, the position of contact between the grinding disc 5 and the surface of the ball valve ball 8 can be changed.
[0043] A ball valve manufacturing equipment includes the aforementioned grinding structure.
[0044] In use, the ball valve ball 8 is clamped by the fixture 11, and the ball valve ball 8 is driven to rotate at high speed by the motor 12. The grinding module 2 is started to drive the mounting base 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the mounting base 3, the telescopic base 4 extends outward of the mounting base 3 through the guide hole 42 along the guide rod 32 due to inertia, so that the grinding disc 5 is in contact with the surface of the ball valve ball 8. The ball valve ball 8 is driven to rotate by the motor 12, and at the same time, the telescopic base 4 drives multiple sets of grinding discs 5 to rotate, so as to grind the surface of the ball valve ball 8. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the output shaft of the grinding module 2, the angle and force of the contact between the grinding disc 5 and the ball valve ball 8 can be adjusted, so that more models of ball valve balls 8 can be ground.
