Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to bearing processing technology, in particular to a fully automatic processing technology for bearing outer cylindrical grooves. Background Art
[0002] Bearings are an important component in modern mechanical equipment. Their main function is to support mechanical rotating bodies, reduce the friction coefficient during their movement, and ensure their rotational accuracy. When processing the inner and outer rings of bearings, the following process flow is usually included: bar - forging - turning - heat treatment - grinding - superfinishing - final inspection of parts - rust prevention and storage. During grinding, the rings are generally installed manually on the outside of the chuck, and the chuck is adjusted to clamp and fix from the inside. Since the clamping force cannot be accurately controlled, it is easy to leave clamp marks on the inner circle of the inner ring if it is too tight, and it is easy to cause axial, radial, or even circumferential deviation during the grinding process, affecting the bearing accuracy and performance. Secondly, due to the manual disassembly and assembly of the rings, the operation efficiency is low, and human factors can easily affect the consistency of clamping. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventors have come up with the technical solution of the present invention through practice and summary. The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0004] A fully automatic machining process for a bearing outer groove, comprising the following steps:
[0005] S100, steel ring loading
[0006] The inner steel ring is transported to the loading station via a loading conveyor chain. A loading bracket is provided on the loading conveyor chain to hold the inner steel ring.
[0007] The inner steel ring is clamped by the steel ring transfer robot assembly and transported to the temporary support transition area. A radial support bracket is installed in the temporary support transition area. A steel ring fixing mechanism is installed at the rear side of the clamping station. A driving cylinder is installed at the bottom of the radial support bracket. The driving cylinder is used to drive the radial support bracket close to or away from the steel ring fixing mechanism.
[0008] The radial support bracket is used to temporarily support the inner steel ring from the outside. A roller is provided on the top of the radial support bracket. The roller and the outer circumference of the inner steel ring are in rolling engagement. A limit ring is provided on the roller. The limit ring is partially located in the outer circular groove and is used to prevent the inner steel ring from detaching from the radial support bracket after it detaches from the steel ring fixing mechanism.
[0009] Control the driving cylinder to move the temporarily supported inner steel ring to the clamping position of the steel ring fixing mechanism;
[0010] S200, steel ring fixed
[0011] The steel ring fixing mechanism includes a mounting frame 1, on which a servo motor and a rotary shaft are mounted. The rotary shaft is mounted on the output end of the servo motor, and a rotary disk is mounted on the end of the rotary shaft away from the servo motor. The servo motor drives the rotary disk to rotate at high speed through the rotary shaft. An electromagnet is embedded in the rotary disk. When the electromagnet is energized, it adsorbs and fixes the end face of the inner steel ring temporarily supported by the radial support bracket, thereby completing the adsorption and fixation of the inner steel ring.
[0012] S300, external groove grinding
[0013] A cross-shaped slide is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. By controlling the motor on the cross-shaped slide, the position of the inner steel ring relative to the grinding wheel is adjusted, and the grinding motor drives the grinding wheel to rotate at high speed to grind the outer groove of the inner steel ring at high speed until the outer groove grinding is completed;
[0014] S400, steel ring blanking
[0015] The electromagnet is powered off, the steel ring is separated from the rotary table and is completely supported by the radial support bracket. The driving cylinder drives the radial support bracket and the inner steel ring with the outer groove ground to return to the temporary support transition area.
[0016] The steel ring transfer robot assembly clamps the inner steel ring on the radial support bracket and conveys it to the unloading conveyor chain. The unloading conveyor chain is equipped with an unloading bracket, which is used to hold the inner steel ring.
[0017] Preferably, the steel ring transfer robot assembly includes an X-axis linear module, a Y-axis linear module, a Z-axis linear module and a clamping module;
[0018] The X-axis linear module is used to adjust the position of the clamping module along the X-axis;
[0019] The Y-axis linear module is used to adjust the position of the clamping module along the Y-axis;
[0020] The Z-axis linear module is used to adjust the position of the clamping module along the Z-axis;
[0021] The clamping module is used to automatically clamp / relax the inner ring.
[0022] Preferably, the ends of the inner steel ring are all provided with through holes, the clamping module includes a lifting frame, the sides of the lifting frame are provided with guide holes facing the middle and obliquely downward, the angle between the guide hole and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, a guide pin is installed in the guide hole, the bottom of the guide pin is connected to the clamping block, the top side of the clamping block is slidably installed with a compensation block in the guide hole, and the bottom end is provided with an oblique upward compensation block on the side relative to the middle of the lifting frame, the compensation block moves obliquely relative to the clamping block, and a compensation inclined surface is provided obliquely upward toward the middle on the side opposite to the bottom end of the clamping block, and a guide groove and a circulating guide groove are provided on the compensation inclined surface. The compensation block is provided with a guide block adapted to the guide groove and a rotatable hook rod. The hook rod is a thin rod with a hook head at the end, and the hook head moves back and forth along the circulating guide groove.
[0023] Preferably, the circulation guide groove includes an ascending long groove, a descending short groove, an ascending short groove and a descending long groove, and the inlet depth of each groove is smaller than the outlet depth;
[0024] The upward long trough and the downward long trough are symmetrically arranged, and the downward short trough and the upward short trough are symmetrically arranged;
[0025] The inlet of the ascending long trough intersects with the outlet of the descending long trough, the outlet of the ascending long trough intersects with the inlet of the descending short trough, the outlet of the descending short trough intersects with the inlet of the ascending short trough, and the outlet of the ascending short trough intersects with the inlet of the descending long trough;
[0026] The intersection height of the exit of the descending short trough and the entrance of the ascending short trough is lower than the intersection height of the exit of the ascending long trough and the entrance of the descending short trough;
[0027] The height of the intersection point of the outlet of the ascending long trough and the inlet of the descending short trough is flush with the height of the intersection point of the outlet of the ascending short trough and the inlet of the descending long trough.
[0028] Preferably, when the steel ring transfer robot assembly clamps the inner steel ring, the X-axis linear module and the Y-axis linear module adjust the lifting frame to be located on the top of the inner steel ring, and the lifting frame is lowered vertically through the Z-axis linear module. The bottom of the compensation block on the compensation slope of the clamping block first contacts the outer wall of the inner steel ring. As the lifting frame continues to be lowered, it moves upward along the compensation slope through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide block until the hook head at the end of the hook rod moves from the entrance of the upper long groove to the entrance of the lower short groove. As the lifting frame continues to be lowered, the clamping block and the compensation block move outward relative to the lifting frame. It moves obliquely upward until the opposite side of the compensation block breaks away from the outer circumference of the steel ring and fits onto the end face, and moves downward relative to the clamping block, that is, the hook head enters the entrance of the upward short slot, and the clamping block also moves downward relative to the lifting frame after the compensation block moves downward relatively, ensuring that the opposite side of the compensation block always fits onto the end face of the steel ring. At this time, the distance between the top of the clamping side of the clamping block and the bottom of the compensation block is less than or equal to the width of the clamping area. As the lifting frame continues to lower, the clamping sides of the compensation block and the clamping block enter the clamping area, and will automatically enter and hook with the clamping area.
[0029] Finally, the lifting frame is driven upward vertically by the Z-axis linear module to complete the action of automatically separating from the inner ring steel ring.
[0030] Preferably, the radial support frame is equipped with a central radial frame, side roller frames symmetrically distributed on both sides, and an adjusting cylinder for driving the central radial frame to move. The side roller frames are rotatably mounted on the radial support frame, and the central radial frame is slidably mounted on the radial support frame. The movement direction of the central radial frame is toward the axis direction of the inner ring steel ring. Slope guide surfaces are provided on both sides of the central radial frame, and the slope guide surfaces are arranged at 45 degrees to the movement direction of the central radial frame.
[0031] The side rolling frame includes an L-shaped frame and rollers. The top of the L-shaped frame is used to support the inner ring steel ring, and the body is rotatably installed on the radial support frame. The rollers are installed at the bottom of the L-shaped frame and fit on the slope guide surface. The bottoms of the L-shaped frames of the two side rolling frames are connected by springs.
[0032] Preferably, when grinding the outer cylindrical groove of the inner steel ring, the movement directions of the grinding wheel and the central radial frame are on the same radial line and are distributed on both sides of the axis of the inner steel ring.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0034] The present invention continuously inputs the inner steel ring by utilizing a feeding conveyor chain, and automatically clamps and releases it through a steel ring transfer robot without the need for a clamping drive component, and transports it to a radial support bracket, and axially transports it to the clamping station of the steel ring fixing mechanism through a driving cylinder. The electromagnet is energized to axially adsorb and fix the inner steel ring to prevent axial movement, and cooperates with the radial support bracket to support it to ensure that it prevents radial jump during high-speed rotation. At the same time, the support center and grinding point of the radial support bracket are respectively located on both sides of the steel ring axis, so that the grinding process is always in a stable state, ensuring processing accuracy. After the processing is completed, the electromagnet is de-energized to separate the steel ring and the turntable, and it is completely supported by the radial support bracket. The steel ring is then reset to its initial position through the driving cylinder, and then clamped and transported to the unloading conveyor chain by the steel ring transfer robot, thereby realizing the fully automatic, high-precision, and high-efficiency grinding operation of the steel ring, and the surface is left without marks. Secondly, two sets of side roller frames are set on the radial support frame, which can adjust the distance between the two support ends by changing the position of the central radial frame, thereby adapting to the different sizes of steel rings. It also strictly controls the grinding point and the support center to be located on the same steel ring diameter line, and the grinding point and the support center are located on both sides of the steel ring axis, so that the radial mechanical direction of the steel ring is opposite during grinding, and the force of the grinding wheel on the steel ring is transferred to the radial support frame, ensuring that the grinding position is consistent and the grinding process is stable.
