[0045] The wedge gate valve pair grinder in the application has the working principle as follows:

[0046] 1. The wedge gate valve pair grinder is installed above the valve shell through a three-dimensional sliding table, and the linear bearing chamber housing 3 serves as a clamping position of the three-dimensional sliding table.

[0047] 2. The valve clack 7 (or the valve clack 7 mold) is connected to the valve clack connecting block 6 of the wedge gate valve pair grinder.

[0048] 3. The three-dimensional sliding table is adjusted so that the linear bearing chamber housing 3 is perpendicular to the upper flange face of the valve shell and coaxial with the inner hole of the upper flange of the valve shell.

[0049] 4. The surface of the valve clack 7 is smeared with a metallographic grinding paste.

[0050] 5. The servo motor 2 is powered on and operated.

[0051] 6. The servo motor 2 drives the crankshaft 8 to rotate.

[0052] 7. Due to the eccentricity between the middle journal of crankshaft 8 and the journals 82 at both ends (servo motor 2 journals), connecting rod 9 swings around the journals 82 at both ends of crankshaft 8.

[0053] 8. The swing of connecting rod 9 drives reciprocating rod 10 to produce reciprocating motion through wear-resistant bushing 92 and connecting rod pin 93.

[0054] 9. The balance spring 101 applies a tension in the direction of the crankshaft 8 to the reciprocating rod 10, thereby balancing the gravity of the valve disc 7 and reducing the torque requirement of the servo motor 2 required for the crankshaft 8 to move upward.

[0055] 10. The reciprocating rod 10 reciprocates relative to linear bearings A102 and B103.

[0056] 11. The reciprocating rod 10 transmits reciprocating motion to the adapter sleeve 4 through the shoulder screw 12, thereby driving the adapter sleeve 4 to reciprocate.

[0057] 12. The adapter sleeve 4 is connected to the swing shaft 5 via pin A51. The swing shaft 5 is connected to the valve disc connecting block 6 via pin B52 below, driving the valve disc 7 to reciprocate.

[0058] 13. Pins A51 and B52 reduce the requirement for coaxiality between the reciprocating rod 10 and the upper flange hole in this invention.

[0059] 14. Operate the three-dimensional slide table to move valve disc 7 toward valve seat until valve disc 7 and valve seat rub against each other.

[0060] 15. If the operation is improper, after reaching the grinding position, the valve disc 7 will continue to move beyond the grinding position. At this time, the reciprocating motion will be blocked, and the buffer spring 11 will start to compress to prevent the servo motor 2 from being overloaded.

[0061] 16. When the preset grinding time is reached, stop the servo motor 2, raise the valve disc 7 on the three-dimensional slide, clean the valve disc 7 and valve seat, and check the sealing ring with blue oil. If the technical requirements are not met, repeat the above steps.

[0062] 17. If the sealing ring meets the technical requirements, replace it with a metallographic polishing paste with a smaller particle size and repeat the above steps until the roughness meets the technical requirements.

[0063] 18. Remove the wedge gate valve grinding machine; grinding is now complete.

[0064] It is to be understood that the application is not limited to the details of the above-exemplified embodiments and that the present application can be carried out in other concrete ways without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the application.

In summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
