TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ball precision machining, and is a micro ball grinding and machining device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development and expansion of the super-precision grinding industry of balls, various grinding methods for improving the precision of balls have been proposed. At present, the main way for super-precision grinding of balls at home and abroad is to use V-shaped grooves for groove form, flat discs for upper discs, and free abrasives for material removal. The main grinding methods include variable-curvature groove grinding method, double-turntable grinding method, eccentric circular groove grinding method, etc. These grinding methods mainly expand the ball surface grinding track by changing the change of the ball rotation angle. The variable-curvature groove grinding method can achieve high-precision grinding of batch conventional balls, but has the disadvantages of complex structure and unsuitability for millimeter-level ball grinding. The double-turntable grinding method can control the ball surface grinding path by changing the rotation speed of the inner and outer turntables, achieve uniform and full coverage of the grinding track, and then achieve high-precision ball grinding, but has the disadvantage of high coaxiality requirement for the inner and outer turntables and unsuitability for millimeter-level ball grinding. The eccentric circular groove grinding method has the advantage of simple structure, but the theoretical ball surface grinding track is only a three-segment circular arc band, which cannot achieve full coverage of the ball surface grinding track, and the grinding effect is poor. At present, most ball machining methods use free abrasives to remove the material of the ball. The free abrasive material removal form mainly adopts the three-body removal method, the grinding is mainly in the form of particles, and the single abrasive grain plays a small role, so the grinding efficiency is low.
[0003] In order to solve the problem of super-precision grinding of millimeter-level balls, the patent document CN201911005628.X provides a super-precision ball variable-friction coefficient grinding method, which uses a specific-shaped groove and a variable-friction fixed abrasive disc to grind the ball together. The groove path is composed of four straight lines and four eccentric circular arc segments, the flat disc surface is divided into fan-shaped regions according to the set rules, and different materials are used in adjacent fan-shaped regions. However, during the grinding process, the balls may gather, especially when grinding millimeter-level balls, the balls may run out of the track, and the grinding cannot proceed smoothly. This groove path is not convenient for millimeter-level ball grinding. The double-plane grinding method is a common millimeter-level ball grinding method, which is composed of two flat discs and a retainer. This grinding method has the advantages of simple structure and suitability for grinding conventional balls and millimeter-level balls. However, the motion state of the ball in the grinding method is difficult to control, the method does not meet the ball forming rules, the ball grinding precision is difficult to guarantee, and the grinding efficiency is low.
[0004] Therefore, based on the variable-friction coefficient grinding device, the present application provides a micro ball high-efficiency high-precision high-consistency grinding method, which aims to solve the problems of low grinding efficiency and low precision, and is suitable for grinding balls of different specifications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and obvious, the present application will be described below through specific embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. In addition, in the following description, the description of known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present application.
[0032] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0033] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The grinding mechanism 1 is provided with a grinding disc 11 and a turntable 12. A sphere and grinding fluid are arranged between the grinding disc 11 and the turntable 12. The grinding disc 11 is connected to the pressurizing mechanism 2, and the turntable 12 is connected to the driving mechanism 3. The turntable 12 is provided with an annular groove 121 for driving the sphere to rotate. When the sphere to be processed is placed in the annular groove 121, the driving mechanism 3 is started, and the turntable 12 rotates, which can realize the grinding and processing of the sphere, improve the processing accuracy and efficiency, and ensure the consistency of the sphere processing.
[0035] In this embodiment, the annular groove 121 includes a straight groove 1211 and an arc-shaped groove 1212. The arc-shaped groove 1212 is a concentric circular arc segment. There are multiple straight grooves 1211 and arc-shaped grooves 1212, which are equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the turntable 12 and are alternately distributed. The ball moves at a constant speed in the arc-shaped groove 1212, which can minimize the collision and friction between the balls during the grinding process and reduce the influence of the interaction between the balls. When the ball moves on the path of the straight groove 1211, the ball will rotate perpendicular to the groove path direction, realizing the change of the ball's rotation angle, thereby spreading the grinding trajectory. At the same time, the grinding part of the ball and the abrasive grains have the maximum relative motion speed, achieving the highest material removal efficiency.
[0036] Furthermore, the straight groove 1211 connects to the arc groove 1212 to form a V-shaped groove. Driven by the turntable 12, the ball moves along the groove path. The ball's rotation angle changes with the curvature of the groove path and the contact area between the ball and the grinding disc 11. The spatial orientation of the ball changes, the grinding trajectory spreads, and finally the grinding trajectory of the ball is fully covered, effectively improving the grinding effect of the ball.

[0039] In order to facilitate the application of pressure, the driving member 21 comprises a worm gear 211 and a lead screw 212, the worm gear 211 is threadedly connected with the lead screw 212, the lead screw 212 is perpendicularly installed on the upper part of the fixed frame 4 through threaded connection, the driving worm gear 211 can realize the lifting of the lead screw 212, the pressure can be more accurately controlled, and the convenience of operation is improved.
[0040] In order to prevent the grinding disc 11 from separating from the device during the machining process, the baffle 5 is sleeved on the stand on both sides of the fixed frame 4, the baffle 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the grinding disc 11, a small gap is left between the installation of the baffle 5 and the fixed frame 4, the grinding disc 11 is allowed to automatically level during the application of pressure, and the large amplitude swing of the grinding disc 11 is limited, the fixing of the baffles 5 on both sides makes the work of the grinding disc 11 more stable.
[0041] Further, in order to enable the pressing mechanism 2 to press the grinding disc 11, a horizontal clamp 6 is mounted on the baffle 5, one end of the horizontal clamp 6 is fixedly mounted on the baffle 5, and the other end is tightly attached to the bottom of the pressing frame 22, so that the pressing frame 22 can completely press the grinding disc 11, and the effect of applying pressure is ensured.
