Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of CNC machine tools, and more particularly to a CNC machine tool for machining the outer ring of a bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings are an important component in modern mechanical equipment. Their main function is to support rotating parts of the machine, reduce the coefficient of friction during movement, and ensure rotational accuracy. A bearing consists of an outer ring, an inner ring, rolling elements, and a cage.
[0003] In the machining process of bearing outer rings, turning accounts for about one-third of the total machining. Both the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the bearing outer ring need to be turned. After turning, the bearing outer ring must not only meet the forming requirements, but also create conditions for subsequent machining. The quality of turning directly affects the quality, efficiency, and economic benefits of grinding.
[0004] When machining the outer ring of a bearing, the inner diameter of the outer ring is machined first, followed by the outer diameter. Generally, turning is performed on a CNC machine tool. During machining, a three-jaw chuck holds the bearing outer ring blank for machining. This allows the inner diameter of the outer ring to be machined in one pass. However, because the jaws of the three-jaw chuck abut against the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring blank, the outer diameter cannot be machined in one pass, resulting in low machining efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the issue of improving machining efficiency, this application provides a CNC machine tool for machining the outer ring of bearings.
[0006] The CNC machine tool for machining bearing outer rings provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A CNC machine tool for machining bearing outer rings includes a frame; the frame is provided with a rectangular machining groove; it includes a bearing outer ring conveying device, a horizontal stepping conveying device, a bearing outer ring clamping and rotating device, and a turning tool device; the bearing outer ring clamping and rotating device includes an outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism and an inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism; the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism clamps the bearing outer ring through its outer cylindrical surface; the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism clamps the bearing outer ring through its inner cylindrical surface; the bearing outer ring conveying device is used for the bearing outer ring to enter and exit the CNC machine tool; the horizontal stepping conveying device is used to drive the bearing outer ring to be conveyed between the bearing outer ring conveying device, the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism, and the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism; the turning tool device is used to turn the bearing outer ring on the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism and the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism clamps the outer ring of the bearing, the turning tool device processes the inner diameter of the outer ring of the bearing; when the inner cylindrical surface clamps the outer ring of the bearing, the turning tool device processes the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing. This is beneficial to improving processing efficiency, and at the same time, the outer diameter processing is based on the completed inner diameter processing, which is beneficial to improving processing accuracy.
[0009] Optionally, the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism includes an outer cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck; the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism includes an inner cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck; the outer cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck is rotatably connected to one vertical sidewall of the machining groove and the three jaws abut against the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring; the inner cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck is rotatably connected to another vertical sidewall of the machining groove and the three jaws abut against the inner cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring; the axes of the outer cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck and the inner cylindrical surface three-jaw chuck are coaxial.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the outer cylindrical three-jaw chuck and the inner cylindrical three-jaw chuck can be used as existing three-jaw chucks, so the structure is relatively simple and the cost is low.
[0011] Optionally, the turning tool device includes a turning support base, a pair of turning tool mechanisms horizontally movable on the turning support base, and a turning drive mechanism for driving the pair of turning tool mechanisms to move synchronously away from or towards each other; the turning tool mechanism includes a turning support seat, a tool holder horizontally movable on the upper surface of the turning support seat, a turning feed assembly for driving the tool holder to move horizontally, and a plurality of turning tools fixed on the tool holder; the turning tools are used to turn the inner or outer diameter of the bearing outer ring.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the turning feed assembly drives the tool holder to move horizontally a certain distance, the turning drive mechanism is used to drive a pair of turning tool mechanisms to move away or closer simultaneously, so that the inner diameter and outer diameter of the bearing outer ring can be turned at the same time, which is beneficial to improving turning efficiency.
[0013] Optionally, the bearing outer ring clamping and rotating device further includes a clamping seat rotatably connected to the machining groove; the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism includes three radially movable outer jaws evenly distributed around the circumference on the clamping seat and an outer jaw drive assembly for driving the three outer jaws to move radially synchronously; the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism includes three radially movable inner jaw seats evenly distributed around the circumference on the clamping seat, an inner jaw seat drive assembly for driving the three inner jaw seats to move radially synchronously, three inner jaws telescopically disposed on the inner jaw seats, and an inner jaw telescopic mechanism assembly for driving the inner jaws to telescopically extend and retract; the inner jaws correspond one-to-one with the inner jaw seats.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer cylindrical surface clamping mechanism and the inner cylindrical surface clamping mechanism are located in the same process. In this way, when machining the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the bearing outer ring, the bearing outer ring does not need to be moved, thus reducing errors and improving machining accuracy.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, only one tool holder is required, thereby reducing equipment costs.
[0017] Optionally, the horizontal stepping conveyor includes a horizontal support plate disposed in the processing groove, a hollow square seat-shaped central support base horizontally rotatably connected to the lower end face of the horizontal support plate at a 90-degree angle, a horizontal rotation mechanism for driving the central support base, four gripping seats horizontally telescopically disposed on the central support base, and a horizontal telescopic drive mechanism for driving the four gripping seats to synchronously telescopically extend and retract horizontally; the four gripping seats correspond one-to-one with the four vertical end faces of the central support base; each gripping seat includes an adsorption plate located outside the central support base; the end face of the adsorption plate away from the central support base is formed with a cylindrical groove-shaped adsorption slot for horizontal insertion of one end of the bearing outer ring; the inner cylindrical surface of the adsorption slot is formed with a plurality of circumferentially uniform negative pressure holes; the negative pressure holes are connected to an external air extraction device.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adsorption plate approaches the central support, the horizontal rotation mechanism drives the central support to rotate on the horizontal surface, thus preventing interference; when the outer ring of the bearing enters the adsorption slot, the external air extraction device is activated to generate suction at the negative pressure hole, thereby adsorbing the outer ring of the bearing, thus making the structure simple.
[0019] Optionally, the horizontal support plate is vertically raised and lowered within the processing groove; the top of the frame is provided with a lifting drive mechanism for driving the horizontal support plate to rise and fall vertically.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting drive mechanism drives the horizontal support plate to rise, the turning tool device will not interfere with the horizontal stepping conveyor during subsequent turning, thereby improving the service life of the product.
[0021] Optionally, the bearing outer ring conveying device includes a bearing outer ring conveying guide rail, a limiting mechanism, and a horizontal pushing mechanism fixed on the side wall of the processing groove away from the opening; the limiting mechanism is disposed in the middle of the bearing outer ring conveying guide rail and is used to limit the bearing outer ring; the horizontal pushing mechanism is used to push the bearing outer ring limited by the limiting mechanism into the adsorption slot of the gripping seat on the corresponding side or to bring the bearing outer ring in the adsorption slot of the gripping seat on the corresponding side back to the bearing outer ring conveying guide rail.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the intermediate insert is used to insert into the outer ring of the bearing, and the outer ring is used to remove the outer ring of the bearing from the intermediate insert, which is beneficial for loading and unloading the outer ring of the bearing.
[0025] Optionally, the inner end of the intermediate insert is equipped with several circumferentially evenly distributed spring plungers.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the spring plunger makes the bearing outer ring more stable when it is fitted onto the intermediate insert, reducing the possibility of the bearing outer ring accidentally falling off and facilitating the transmission of the bearing outer ring.
[0027] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0028] 1. The outer diameter of the bearing outer ring is machined in one go, which helps to improve machining efficiency. At the same time, the machining of the outer diameter is based on the completed inner diameter machining, which helps to improve machining accuracy.

[0063] The working principle of a CNC machine tool for machining bearing outer rings, as described in Example 1:
[0064] The outer ring of the bearing slides down the upper inclined guide rail 211 onto the lower limit plate 25; then the four gripping seats 37 extend synchronously, and the intermediate drive cylinder 261 drives the intermediate insert 26 to extend and insert into the adsorption slot 3730 of the corresponding gripping seat 37. During this process, the intermediate insert 26 passes through the outer ring of the bearing. Then, a pair of external drive cylinders 271 drive the outer ring 27 to extend, so that the end of the outer ring of the bearing is inserted into the adsorption slot 3730. At this time, the external air extraction device works, so that the negative pressure hole 3731 generates suction to hold the outer ring of the bearing. Then, the horizontal rotation motor 33 drives the central support seat 34 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the outer ring of the bearing faces the external cylindrical three-jaw chuck 40. Then, the four gripping seats 37 extend synchronously, and then the three jaws of the external cylindrical three-jaw chuck 40 grasp the outer ring of the bearing. Then, the turning tool device 50 turns the bearing. The inner diameter of the bearing outer ring is then determined. Following the above principle, the bearing outer ring is transferred to the inner cylindrical three-jaw chuck 70, and the outer diameter of the bearing outer ring is machined by the turning tool device 50. During this process, the turning tool device 50 also simultaneously machines the inner diameter of another bearing outer ring. Next, according to the above principle, the bearing outer ring returns to face the intermediate insert 26. Then, the intermediate drive cylinder 261 drives the intermediate insert 26 to extend and insert into the suction slot 3730 of the opposite gripping seat 37. During this process, the intermediate insert 26 passes through the bearing outer ring and is held by the spring plunger 262 at the end of the intermediate insert 26. Then, the intermediate insert 26 returns to its original position, driving the bearing outer ring to return as well. During this process, the bearing outer ring contacts the outer ring 27 and disengages from the intermediate insert 26. Finally, the bearing outer ring rolls out along the vertical guide rail 212 and the downward inclined guide rail 213.

[0071] The working principle of the bearing outer ring clamping and rotating device 60 is as follows:
[0072] When machining the inner cylindrical surface of the outer ring of the bearing, the inner jaw 653 is completely retracted in the inner jaw seat 65; at this time, the outer jaw drive motor 67 drives the jaw drive gear 671 to mesh, and the outer jaw drive gear ring 662 meshing with the jaw drive gear 671 drives the outer jaw drive ring 66 and the outer jaw drive bevel gear 661 to rotate. The three outer jaw driven bevel gears 642 meshing with the outer jaw drive bevel gear 661 respectively drive the three outer jaw drive screws 641 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the three outer jaws 64 to move radially synchronously and abut against the outer cylindrical surface of the outer ring of the bearing.
[0073] When machining the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring, the inner jaws 653 extend out and are located inside the bearing outer ring; through a similar principle, the three inner jaws 653 are driven to move radially outward and abut against the inner cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring; then, according to the above principle, the three outer jaws 64 are driven to move radially outward, so that the turning tool 57 can be located in the gap between the outer jaws 64 and the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring, so that the turning tool 57 cooperates with the rotating bearing outer ring to machine the outer cylindrical surface of the bearing outer ring.
[0074] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
