Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a sharpening device, and more particularly to a sharpening device for cutting blades. Background Technology
[0002] Electric drive spindles are key components in the powertrain of new energy vehicles, and the machining efficiency and surface quality of the precision turning inserts for electric drive spindles are of great significance to their production. The larger the tip radius of the inserts used for machining electric drive spindles, the smaller the surface roughness, the faster the feed rate, and the higher the efficiency. Therefore, electric drive spindles generally use large-radius precision machining inserts, making the sharpening of the cutting edge radius of these inserts crucial to their manufacturing process.
[0003] Currently, five-axis CNC tool grinders are generally used for tool regrinding. However, this method is costly and requires highly skilled workers. Furthermore, the circular arc cutting edge demands high precision from the five-axis CNC tool grinder, necessitating rigorous maintenance and frequent calibration of the grinder's accuracy. This makes operation complex and maintenance costs high. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a regrinding device for precision turning inserts of electric drive spindles, which can regrind arc-shaped precision turning inserts of electric drive spindles. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing and maintenance costs, good reliability, and is easy to operate, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a regrinding device for precision turning cutting tools of an electric spindle, comprising:
[0006] support;
[0007] A crank cam, which is rotatably mounted on the bracket via its central axis; the crank cam has a cam portion and a crank arm;
[0008] A tool holder includes a vertical arm and a horizontal arm, wherein the vertical arm has a vertically extending groove, and the crank is correspondingly disposed in the groove and can slide along the groove;
[0009] A tool holder has a tool holder pivot at one end, which is installed by passing through a tool holder pivot mounting hole at the head end of the transverse arm. The tool holder pivot has an outwardly extending swing rod, and the other end of the tool holder has a blade.
[0010] A slider is mounted on the support and can slide along the length of the support. The slider is connected to the first end of the transverse arm via a slider pivot.
[0011] A lever is slidably connected to the slider, and the lever is provided with a swing rod groove for accommodating the swing rod, the swing rod groove extending along the length direction of the bracket;
[0012] A lever drive assembly, which is disposed on the slider, drives the lever to move in the width direction of the slider as the slider slides along the length direction of the bracket;
[0013] A sanding strip is provided along the length of the support and below the cam. An elastic element is provided between the sanding strip and the support so that the sanding strip can float relative to the support in the height direction.
[0014] When the crank cam rotates around its central axis, the crankshaft drives the tool holder and slider to reciprocate along the support in a linear direction. When the tool holder and slider move in the first linear direction, the blade moves in the first linear direction, and the cam presses the sanding strip down relative to the support so that the blade does not contact the sanding strip. When the crank cam continues to rotate around its central axis, the tool holder and slider move along the support in a second linear direction opposite to the first linear direction, driving the blade to move in the second linear direction. The sanding strip is raised relative to the support so that the blade contacts the sanding strip.
[0015] The slider reciprocates along the support in a linear direction, causing the tool holder to rotate around the axis of the tool holder's rotation shaft.
[0016] Furthermore, the grinding device for precision turning inserts of an electrically driven spindle described in this invention also includes a motor, which is connected to the central shaft of the crank cam via a coupling.

[0019] Furthermore, in the grinding device for precision turning inserts of an electric spindle described in this invention, the slider is provided with a sliding groove hole, and the slider is slidably connected to the bracket through the sliding groove hole.
[0020] Furthermore, in the regrinding device for precision turning inserts of an electric spindle described in this invention, the tool holder shaft is axially limited by a snap ring sleeved on it.
[0021] Furthermore, in the grinding device for precision turning inserts of an electric spindle described in this invention, the abrasive strip includes a main body and a secondary body arranged parallel to the main body. The secondary body is located below the cam portion, and the main body is located below the insert.
[0022] Furthermore, in the grinding device for precision turning inserts of an electric spindle described in this invention, a guide rail pair is provided between the slider and the lever.
[0023] Furthermore, in the regrinding device for precision turning inserts of an electric spindle described in this invention, the insert is connected to the tool holder by bolts.
[0024] Furthermore, in the regrinding device for precision turning inserts of an electrically driven spindle according to the present invention, the lever drive assembly includes:
[0025] A rack support, on which a rack is provided along the length of the support;
[0026] A gear that meshes with the rack; the gear is rotatably mounted on the slider, and the gear is provided with a gear crank;
[0027] A gear crank rotating rod is connected to the gear crank, and the gear crank rotating rod is disposed in the drive groove of the lever, the drive groove extending along the length direction of the bracket.

[0080] In this manner, in a specific embodiment, when the blade D is regrinded, the blade D undergoes a combined linear and rotational motion along with the tool holder:
[0081] in, Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 The linear motion process of blade D is shown:
[0082] Figure 16 The diagram shows the state when the crank arm moves to position M.
[0083] Figure 17 The diagram shows the state when the crank arm moves to the N position.
[0084] Figure 18 The diagram shows the state when the crank arm moves to position P.
[0085] Figure 19 The diagram shows the state when the crank arm moves to position Q.
[0086] like Figures 15 to 19As shown, when the crank cam 2 rotates around its central axis, the crank rod 22 drives the tool holder 3 and the slider 5 to reciprocate along the support 1 in a linear direction. During the process of the crank rod 22 moving from position M to position N and then to position P, the tool holder 3 and the slider 5 move in the first linear direction. At this time, the blade D also moves in the first linear direction, and the cam part 21 presses down the abrasive strip 7 relative to the support 1 so that the blade D does not contact the abrasive strip 7. During the process of the crank cam 2 continuing to rotate, the crank rod 22 moving from position P to position Q and then to position M, the tool holder 3 and the slider 5 move in a second linear direction opposite to the first linear direction. At this time, the blade D also moves in the second linear direction, and the cam part 21 does not press down the abrasive strip 7, so that the blade D contacts the abrasive strip, thereby achieving the grinding of the blade D.
[0087] Regarding the rotation of blade D, as Figure 14 and Figure 20 As shown, as the slider 5 reciprocates along the support 1, during the meshing of gear 93 and rack 92, gear 93 rotates, thereby driving gear crank rotating rod 95 to rotate around the axis of gear 93. Gear crank rotating rod 95 drives lever 6 to reciprocate linearly along the width direction of slider 5. The swing rod groove 61 of lever 6 drives tool holder 4 to rotate back and forth around the axis E of tool holder rotation shaft 41 through the swing rod 42 of tool holder 4, thereby realizing the swing of blade D, and thus realizing the grinding of arc-shaped blade D.
