Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a measuring device for ultra-precision positioning of a tapered roller bearing convexity. Background Technology

[0002] Rolling elements are one of the five major components of a rolling bearing (inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, cage, and lubricant), and their quality directly affects the bearing's precision and service life. Tapered rollers are the rolling elements in a rolling bearing, transmitting motion and load within the narrow space between the inner and outer rings, and are a key component affecting the service life of tapered roller bearings.

[0003] Currently, the widely used final processing method is fixed-post through-feed ultrafine grinding. Through-feed ultrafine grinding has the advantages of high production efficiency and stable roller quality. The working principle of the fixed-post through-feed ultrafine grinding machine for tapered rollers is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Figure 1 In this design, the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B are horizontally arranged with their axes parallel to each other, and they rotate in the same direction at the same speed around their respective axes. The outer surface of the main guide roller 1A has a helical flange 11, and the outer surface of the auxiliary guide roller 1B has a helical groove 12. A roller 10 is placed between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B. The shapes of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B control the attitude and drive the rotation of the roller 10. The spherical base surface of the main guide roller 1A with the helical flange 11 contacts the large end of the roller 10. The helical flange 11 drives the roller 10 to continuously penetrate along the axis of the leading guide roller, and also isolates two adjacent rollers 10. This allows the roller 10, which is conveyed by the automatic loading mechanism to the area between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B, to rotate around its own axis while simultaneously penetrating forward along the axis of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B. A row of oilstones 2 oscillates at a high frequency with small amplitude along the longitudinal direction, and each oilstone applies constant pressure to the outer surface of each roller 10, achieving ultra-precision machining of the outer surface of the roller 10. The relative positions of the tapered roller 10, the main guide roller 1A, the auxiliary guide roller 1B, and the oilstones 2 in the longitudinal vertical plane are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Because the outer cylindrical surface of roller 10 needs to be machined using ultra-precision technology, as... Figure 3 The surface convexity (logarithmic curve) shape shown (where Lwe is the length of roller 100 and δ is the convexity of roller 10) necessitates the processing of the surfaces of the main and auxiliary guide rollers to achieve the desired shape. Figure 4The special cross-sectional shape shown is as follows: T is the helical lead of the main / auxiliary guide roller; B is the width of the helical flange of the main guide roller; ρ is the roll angle of the main and auxiliary guide rollers (the roll angle ρ of the main and auxiliary guide rollers is different); C is the height of the helical flange of the main guide roller; Dw is the diameter of the main / auxiliary guide roller. The roll angle of the main and auxiliary guide rollers is one of the main parameters controlling the ultra-precision grinding posture of the convexity roller 10 (the angle between the roller and the axis of the main and auxiliary guide rollers in the horizontal direction). At the same time, the center distance of the main and auxiliary guide rollers must also be adjusted so that the center height of the roller 100 and the center height of the main and auxiliary guide rollers form a certain angle, such as... Figure 5a As shown (A is the center distance between the main and auxiliary guide rollers; β is the contact angle between the small end of the roller and the main and auxiliary guide rollers; d is the diameter of the small end of the roller; Dw / 2 is the radius of the main and auxiliary guide rollers). The roller is positioned by the support of the surfaces of the main and auxiliary guide rollers. Since the surfaces of the main and auxiliary guide rollers have been precision ground, the installation and positioning of the main and auxiliary guide rollers become the main factors affecting the positioning posture of the roller. In the actual debugging process, the contact angle β between the small end of the roller and the main and auxiliary guide rollers is changed by controlling the center distance A of the main and auxiliary guide rollers and their axis parallelism, thereby adjusting the positioning posture of the roller.

[0004] Currently, there is relevant research in China on the precision measurement of the grinding roll profile angle of the main and auxiliary guide rollers. Bearing roller manufacturers have relatively mature measurement technologies for the main and auxiliary guide rollers. However, in the actual processing and adjustment process, the main and auxiliary guide rollers need to be installed on the bearing housing of the ultra-precision grinding machine. The machining accuracy and installation positioning accuracy of the main and auxiliary guide rollers themselves will be reflected in the posture of the ultra-precision roller, thus affecting the outer convexity shape of the roller. For a detailed schematic diagram of the ultra-precision grinding posture of the convexity roller, please see... Figure 5b , Figure 5c , Figure 5d . Figure 5d In this context, α is the semi-cone angle of the tapered roller; β is the angle between the generatrix of the roller and the straight line of the oilstone oscillation; E is the length of the roller; A and H are the installation and adjustment parameters for the main and auxiliary guide rollers. Figure 5d A is the half-center distance between the main and auxiliary guide rollers; H is the height of the roller's center relative to the centers of the main and auxiliary guide rollers; φ is the contact angle between the roller and the main and auxiliary guide rollers; the X, Y, Z coordinate system is the positioning coordinate system (reference coordinate system) of the single helical lead of the main and auxiliary guide rollers, and the X”, Y”, Z” coordinate system is the positioning coordinate system of the roller.

[0005] Currently, the positioning posture of the rollers cannot be accurately measured due to the difficulty in measuring the ultra-precision grinding, which makes the installation and adjustment of the main and auxiliary guide rollers very difficult. Technicians usually judge the adjustment amount of the main and auxiliary guide rollers by the outer circle contour shape of the rollers after ultra-precision grinding (measured by a profilometer). This process often leads to the scrapping of a small number of products and requires repeated testing and adjustment, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The measuring device for ultra-precision positioning of tapered roller bearings of the present invention is mainly used in the installation and positioning debugging process of the main and auxiliary guide rollers of an ultra-precision grinding machine for tapered rollers. The measuring device uses the outer circles of the four bearing seats 1C at both ends of the main guide roller 1A and auxiliary guide roller 1B of the ultra-precision grinding machine as a reference for positioning. The lower parts of a pair of fixed bases 4A and a pair of adjustable bases 4B have a 90° V-shaped mating surface with the outer circle of the bearing seat 1C. The pair of fixed bases 4A are axially fixed, while the pair of adjustable bases 4B can be axially displaced and locked by locking screws 46, thus completely fixing the measuring device. Each measuring unit consists of a displacement mechanism, a high-precision linear guide, a grating ruler, an electronic dial indicator, and a digital display module. The displacement drive of the X-axis displacement slide and the Y-axis displacement slide 60 is manual (lead screw + knob). The three-dimensional coordinate data of the roller being measured are measured by the X-axis grating ruler 55, the Y-axis grating ruler 65, and the electronic dial indicator 74, and then displayed by the digital display module 8.

[0050] In the actual measurement process, at least three measuring points are selected: the small end, the middle of the length, and the large end of the roller 10. Since the X and Y coordinates of the measuring points on the roller 10 need to be determined based on the different lengths of the roller 10 being measured, the diameters of the three measuring points, and the expected ultra-precision convexity measurement, the parameters of the X and Y positions between the measuring points are known quantities. By measuring the Z-axis value of the roller 10 at different measuring points using an electronic dial indicator 74 (contact measurement), the three-dimensional attitude data of the roller 10 in the current state of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B can be obtained. The application process of the measuring device of this invention in the positioning and debugging of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B is as follows (see...). Figure 12 and Figure 13 And in conjunction with reference Figure 5a ):

[0051] 1) Based on the measured roll angles (known) of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B, the theoretical value A0 of the center distance between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B can be calculated. The initial installation and positioning of the main and auxiliary guide rollers shall be carried out according to A0.

[0052] 2) After the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B are initially positioned, the measuring device of the present invention is installed and the positioning and fixing of the adjustable base 4B is completed;

[0053] 3) Adjust the X and Y coordinates of each measuring point according to the length of the different rollers 10 being measured, the diameter of the three measuring points, and the expected ultra-precision convexity measurement; first, rotate the X-axis lead screw 53 by the handwheel or knob 54 in the X-axis measuring unit 5 to move the X-axis displacement slide along a pair of X-axis guide rails 51. After it is in position, the X-axis position information of the electronic micrometer 74 is transmitted to the digital display module 8 by the X-axis grating ruler 55; then, rotate the X-axis lead screw 63 by the handwheel or knob 64 in the Y-axis measuring unit 6 to move the Y-axis displacement slide 60 along a pair of Y-axis guide rails 61. After it is in position, the Y-axis position information of the electronic micrometer 74 is transmitted to the digital display module 8 by the Y-axis grating ruler 65; then, precisely adjust the Z-axis position of the micrometer base 72 on the Z-axis adjusting screw 71 by adjusting the two fine-tuning nuts 73 in the Z-axis measuring unit 7, and then measure the Z-axis coordinate value of each measuring point by the electronic micrometer 74 and transmit it to the digital display module 8;

[0054] 4) By comparing with previous empirical parameters, the deviation of the Z-axis value and the corresponding center distance A of the main and auxiliary guide rollers can be confirmed;

[0055] 5) Adjust the center distance A between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B, that is, adjust the contact angle β between the small end of the roller 10 and the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B, and measure the Z-direction value of the roller 10 again until it is consistent with the empirical parameters.

[0056] 6) Select the foremost roller 10 located between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B and the last roller 10 located between the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B for measurement to determine whether the parallelism of the main guide roller 1A and the auxiliary guide roller 1B meets the requirements.

[0057] The measuring device of this invention allows for high-precision re-measurement of the three-dimensional orientation of the roller 10 after the main guide roller 1A and auxiliary guide roller 1B of the ultra-precision grinding machine are installed. Using the positioning orientation of the roller 10 as the result guide ensures that the outer convexity shape of the roller 10 meets the technical requirements in one go after adjustment. Simultaneously, this measuring device enables simultaneous adjustment and measurement during the positioning adjustment process of the main guide roller 1A and auxiliary guide roller 1B, greatly improving the positioning adjustment efficiency of the main guide roller 1A and auxiliary guide roller 1B.

[0058] Since the high-precision grating ruler, ball screw, and linear guide rail in the measuring device of this invention should operate in a dust-free, enclosed environment, the relevant mechanisms should have protective measures such as linked protective covers, which are not specifically described in this invention. Furthermore, the X-axis and Y-axis lead screw mechanisms can also be modified to be servo-controlled, and automated measurement can be achieved by developing relevant dedicated computer testing software.

[0059] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the invention and should be defined by the claims.
