[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a screw polishing device comprising channel steel 3 distributed front and rear, a guide wheel 4 mounted on the channel steel 3, a screw 5 placed on the guide wheel 4, an upper rail 2 and a lower rail 1 mounted below the channel steel 3, a grinding bracket 6 mounted on the upper rail 2 and the lower rail 1 via an upper sliding sleeve 62 and a lower sliding sleeve 61, a drive wheel 8 driven by a motor 7 mounted behind the channel steel 3, and a sanding belt 9 wound around the sanding belt tensioning mechanism 674 at the drive wheel 8 and the grinding bracket 6.
[0025] There are four guide wheel carriages 4, distributed on the left and right sides of the channel steel 3. Each guide wheel carriage 4 includes a rolling component 41 that rolls in contact with the channel steel 3, a support 42 placed on the upper part of the rolling component 41, and a rotating component 43 mounted on the support 42. The support 42 includes a bottom 421 and left and right side upright plates 422. A U-shaped groove 423 is machined in the middle of the upright plate 422. Roller flanges 412 are bolted to both sides of the bottom 421. Rollers 411 are fixed by the roller flanges 412. Bushings 1413 are installed at the contact point between the rollers 411 and the roller flanges 412. Bearings 416 are installed at both ends of the rollers 411 and are axially limited by axle clamps 417. Wheels 414 are installed on the outside of the bearings 416 and are axially limited by hole clamps 415. The wheels 414 are stepped and match the upper edge 31 of the channel steel 3. Rotating component 43 includes a rotating shaft 432 resting on a U-shaped groove 423. The right side of the rotating shaft 432 includes a large end 4321. The rotating shaft 432 is rotatably connected to a rolling wheel 434 via a bushing II 433. A positioning sleeve 431 is installed on the other side of the large end 4321 to axially position the rotating shaft 432. The rolling wheel 434 is spindle-shaped and is used to support the screw 5 (see...). Figure 4-8 ).
[0026] The grinding support 6 includes an upper base plate 66, which is connected to an upright rod 63 via a hinge 65. The lower part of the upright rod 63 is connected to the upper rail 2 via an upper sliding sleeve 62. A bent portion 661 is machined at the front end of the upper base plate 66. The bent portion 661 is elastically connected to an inclined upright rod 69 via a buffer member 64. The lower part of the inclined upright rod 69 is connected to the lower rail 1 via a lower sliding sleeve 61. A grinding support adjustment part 67 is installed on the upper base plate 66. The grinding support adjustment part 67 includes a lower adjustment part 671 that is movably connected to the upper base plate 66. The lower adjustment part 671 is rotatably connected to the upper adjustment part 673 via a hinge member 672. A long groove 6731 is machined at the middle position of the upper adjustment part 673, and a sandpaper tensioning mechanism 674 is installed on the long groove 6731. Arc-shaped grooves are machined on both sides of the lower part 671 of the adjusting section. Bolts are fixed to the upper base plate 66 at corresponding positions of the arc-shaped grooves, and the lower part 671 of the adjusting section is fixed to the upper base plate 66 by wing nuts I. A positioning part 68 is machined at the hinge 672. The positioning plate 68 has round holes machined at corresponding positions on the lower part 671 and the upper part 673 of the adjusting section, and is fitted with pins. The sandpaper tensioning mechanism 674 includes a tensioning shaft 6742 that passes through the long groove 6731 and is locked by a wing nut 6743. Both ends of the tensioning shaft 6742 are connected to a tensioning wheel 6741 via bearings I 6744. The tensioning wheel 6741 is drum-shaped (see...). Figure 2-3 ).
[0027] The device automatically tensions the sanding belt by lowering the grinding support by gravity, and simultaneously adjusts the grinding support in all directions to polish the screw's bevel and groove surfaces. It has high grinding efficiency, is easy to operate, and offers excellent cost performance.
[0028] In practical use, the invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for ease of understanding;
[0029] During operation, the screw rests on the rolling wheels of the guide wheel carriage. Due to its spindle-shaped shape, the two sets of screws are symmetrically placed (see...). Figure 5 The screw rotation does not damage the screw edges. The sanding belt is wound between the tensioning wheel and the drive wheel. Since the sanding belt tensioning mechanism is connected to the upright rod through a hinge and elastically connected to the inclined upright rod through a buffer, the sanding belt tensioning mechanism generates an outward torque along the hinge, tightening the sanding belt. Because the sanding belt is a flexible material, the grinding surface of the sanding belt is in complete contact with the bottom of the screw edges. The rotating motor drives the sanding belt to move, and the screw can be rotated manually or mechanically. The sanding belt grinds the screw grooves (at present, due to different requirements for grinding the screw grooves, the precision requirements for grinding and polishing different sections of the screw groove are inconsistent, so the screw is still mostly rotated manually). When the sanding belt is grinding the screw grooves, since the screw grooves are obliquely distributed, the sanding belt will generate a force along the track on the screw, causing the guide wheel 4 to drive the screw to move left and right along the track. At the same time, the grinding bracket moves left and right through the contact of the upper and lower sliding sleeves with the upper and lower tracks, grinding and polishing the screw groove positions in different directions.
[0030] When it is necessary to grind and polish the beveled surface of the screw, adjust the positioning part at the hinge, pull out the pin, and rotate the upper and lower parts of the adjustment part by an angle and fix them by the pin. At this time, the tension wheel makes an angle with the horizontal plane, and the sanding belt is wound between the tension wheel and the drive wheel. The movement trajectory of the sanding belt in space makes an angle with the horizontal plane. Since the sanding belt is supported by the buffer, it has a certain degree of elasticity. The sanding belt and the beveled surface of the screw are completely in contact, and the grinding and polishing effect of the beveled surface of the screw is better. When the diameter of the screw changes, the sanding tensioning mechanism is adjusted appropriately along the long groove.
[0031] The roller is spindle-shaped, which makes it easy for the sanding belt to be wound onto the tensioning roller. At the same time, during grinding and polishing, the sanding belt moves left and right along the spindle shape, which makes full contact between the sanding belt and the screw ridge and groove, resulting in more uniform and thorough grinding and polishing.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
