Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of grinding equipment technology, specifically to an automated grinding equipment for gray cast iron parts and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Automated grinding equipment for gray cast iron parts is a mechanical system specifically designed to improve grinding efficiency, ensure grinding quality, and reduce manual labor. This equipment can automatically remove sprues, flash, burrs, etc. generated during the casting process of gray cast iron parts, and at the same time perform surface treatment to improve the surface quality of the castings. By integrating advanced technologies such as robotics, CNC systems, and force control systems, automated grinding equipment can achieve precise grinding and deburring of gray cast iron parts. Gray cast iron is a ferroalloy product with a high carbon content made by casting. It is named for its gray granular structure in cross-section. Gray cast iron has good casting performance, high compressive strength and cost-effectiveness, and is widely used in the manufacture of various mechanical parts and components, such as engine cylinder blocks, pipe fittings and daily necessities. When grinding gray cast iron parts, it is crucial to select the appropriate grinding head for different grinding areas and parts. For areas with complex shapes and corners, a smaller diameter grinding head is usually required to flexibly adapt to the contours of these areas and achieve precise grinding. However, when dealing with large flat areas, the small diameter grinding head will reduce grinding efficiency and increase the overall grinding time due to its smaller contact area. Therefore, to address the above problems, an automated grinding equipment for gray cast iron parts and its usage method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0013] A method for using an automated grinding equipment for gray cast iron parts. S1: When adjusting the diameter of the grinding head according to the location to be ground on the gray cast iron part, the diameter of the grinding head needs to be reduced during the grinding of complex corner areas of the gray cast iron part. The second water pump draws hydraulic oil from the inside of the oil reservoir, filling the oil reservoir with hydraulic oil. At this time, the solenoid valves inside the two hard pipes are in the open state, and at the same time, all the solenoid valves inside the first and second expansion components are in the open state. The second water pump fills the drawn hydraulic oil from the inside of the hard pipe into the inside of the ring pipe, and from the ring pipe into the side hole of the oil passage hollow rod, and at the same time into the inside of the second expansion component. The hydraulic oil at the rear end of the double oil passage near the side hole gradually increases, the sealing slide moves forward, the sealing slide drives the guide rod to move forward, the sealing slide slides on the inside of the double oil passage of the oil passage hollow rod, and a sealing ring is set on the outside of the sealing slide. At the same time, the sealing slide drives the return spring to... As the first grinding head extends, the return spring generates elastic force, and the hydraulic oil at the front end of the sealing slide column flows from the solenoid valve into the oil reservoir. The second grinding body moves forward away from the first grinding body. After the front ends of all the sealing slide columns are in contact with the rear ends of the solenoid valves, all the solenoid valves are closed, and the hydraulic oil in the dual-pass oil passage, the inner side of the ring pipe, and the inner side of the hard pipe will be fixed, and the hydraulic oil will not flow. The positions of the sealing slide column and the guide rod are limited. When it is necessary to expand the diameter of the grinding head, the robotic arm is activated, so that the rear end of the first grinding body is in contact with the top of the machine. The solenoid valve inside the first expansion component is opened, while the solenoid valve inside the second expansion component is closed. Under the action of the elastic contraction force of the return spring, the sealing slide column and the guide rod gradually move towards the outside of the oil-conducting hollow rod. When the rear end of the second grinding body is in contact with the top of the machine, all the solenoid valves of the first expansion component are closed, and the diameter of the grinding head is increased. S2: When cooling the grinding head during grinding, the gear is driven to rotate according to the grinding position of the grinding head on the gray cast iron part. The gear drives the outer meshing rack to rotate, and the rack drives the ring cover to rotate and connect to the inner side of the double column limiting groove opened in the machine. The outer side of the ring cover is sealed with the machine through the sealing ring. When the water nozzle is facing the grinding position, the servo motor stops, and the first water pump draws water from the lower part of the filter plate and the inside of the water groove. The water enters the through hole at the upper part of the machine from the first water pump, then enters the inside of the double column limiting groove, enters the inside of the inlet through the lower channel, and is sprayed out from the inside of the water nozzle. S3: When fixing the gray cast iron part, place the gray cast iron part on the upper end of the machine platform, and at the upper end near the drain outlet. The outer side of the threaded rod is spirally connected to the inner side of the internal thread plate. When the threaded rod rotates, the threaded rod will move towards the gray cast iron part. The threaded rod drives the fixed clamping plate to move, and the fixed clamping plate drives the limit telescopic rod to extend.

In this invention, the automatic adjustment of the grinding installation component, the first extension component and the second extension component is used to adapt to the grinding needs of gray cast iron parts of different shapes and areas. This design not only improves the grinding accuracy, but also significantly improves the grinding efficiency of large-area flat parts, while maintaining the ability to finely grind complex corner areas. 2. In this invention, the device achieves cooling of the grinding head through the water storage component and the rotary drive component, preventing the heat generated by long-term grinding from affecting the service life and grinding quality of the grinding head. In addition, the design of the water circulation system not only improves the cooling efficiency, but also realizes the recycling of water resources, saves costs and reduces environmental impact. 3. In this invention, the stable components are set to achieve stable fixation of the gray cast iron parts, ensuring stability and consistency during the grinding process. This fixing method improves the pass rate of grinding, reduces grinding defects caused by workpiece movement or vibration, and improves the overall grinding quality. Attached Figure Description

The second water pump 63 is located inside the oil storage tank 61. There are two rigid pipes 64, the inner side of which is hollow and connected to the outlet of the second water pump 63. The rigid pipes 64 are also connected to the inside of the ring pipe 65. A solenoid valve 74 is installed on the inner side of the front end of the rigid pipe 64. The inner side of the ring pipe 65 is connected to the inner side of the side hole 73 opened in the oil-carrying hollow rod 71. The outer side of the oil-conducting hollow rod 71 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cylinder shell 62. The front end of the oil-conducting hollow rod 71 is connected to the inside of the oil storage shell 61. A sealing ring is installed on the outer side of the sealing slide 77. The outer side of the guide rod 78 is in contact with the inner side of the rubber sealing ring 76. The rear end of the sealing slide 77 is fixedly connected to the front end of the return spring 75. The structure of the second extension component 8 is the same as that of the first extension component 7. Through hydraulic system control, the diameter of the grinding head is automatically adjusted to meet the grinding needs of gray cast iron parts of different shapes and areas.
[0021] Workflow: When adjusting the diameter of the grinding head according to the location to be ground on the gray cast iron part, the diameter of the grinding head needs to be reduced during the grinding of complex corner areas of the gray cast iron part. The second water pump 63 is started, and the second water pump 63 draws hydraulic oil from the oil reservoir 61, filling the oil reservoir 61 with hydraulic oil. At this time, the solenoid valves 74 inside the two rigid pipes 64 are in the open state. At the same time, all the solenoid valves 74 inside the first expansion assembly 7 and the second expansion assembly 8 are in the open state. The second water pump 63 pumps the drawn hydraulic oil from inside the rigid pipe 64 into the ring pipe 65, and from the ring pipe 65 into the side hole 73 opened in the oil passage hollow rod 71, and at the same time into the interior of the second expansion assembly 8. At this time, the side hole 73 is close to the side hole 73. As the hydraulic oil at the rear end of the double-pass oil passage 72 gradually increases, the sealing slide 77 moves forward under the action of the hydraulic oil. The sealing slide 77 drives the guide rod 78 to move forward. The sealing slide 77 is slidably connected to the inner side of the double-pass oil passage 72 opened in the oil passage hollow rod 71. A sealing ring is provided on the outer side of the sealing slide 77 to prevent hydraulic oil from flowing between the sealing slide 77 and the double-pass oil passage 72. The guide rod 78 slides on the inner side of the oil passage hollow rod 71. Under the sealing action of the rubber sealing ring 76, it plays the role of sealing between the guide rod 78 and the oil passage hollow rod 71. At the same time, the sealing slide 77 drives the return spring 75 to extend, and the return spring 75 elastically stores force. The hydraulic oil at the front end of the sealing slide 77 flows from the solenoid valve 74 into the interior of the oil reservoir 61. As the guide rod 78 moves forward, it drives the second grinding body 79 forward. The second grinding body 79 is fitted outside the first grinding body 67. As the second grinding body 79 moves forward away from the first grinding body 67, when the front ends of all the sealing slides 77 are in contact with the rear ends of the solenoid valves 74, all the solenoid valves 74 are closed. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the double-pass oil passage 72, the inner side of the ring pipe 65, and the inner side of the hard pipe 64 will be fixed, and the hydraulic oil will not flow, thus limiting the position of the sealing slides 77 and the guide rod 78. At this time, the complex corner area can be ground. When it is necessary to expand the diameter of the grinding head, the robotic arm 1 is activated so that the rear end of the first grinding body 67 is in contact with the top of the machine table 21. Because the first grinding body 67 is grinding During the process, wear will occur, and the thickness of the first grinding body 67 will change. Therefore, the rear end of the second grinding body 79 needs to be aligned with the rear end of the first grinding body 67. The solenoid valve 74 inside the first expansion assembly 7 is open, while the solenoid valve 74 inside the second expansion assembly 8 is closed. Under the elastic contraction force of the return spring 75, the sealing slide 77 and guide rod 78 gradually move towards the outside of the oil-conducting hollow rod 71. When the rear end of the second grinding body 79 is in contact with the top of the machine base 21, all the solenoid valves 74 of the first expansion assembly 7 are closed. At this time, the diameter of the grinding head is increased. Following the same principle, all the solenoid valves 74 inside the first expansion assembly 7 are closed, while all the solenoid valves 74 inside the second expansion assembly 8 are opened.At this point, the diameter of the grinding head can be further increased. While ensuring grinding efficiency, this achieves not only precision grinding but also grinding over large areas. During the grinding process, while the grinding head is being cooled, the servo motor 47 is activated to drive the gear 46 to rotate, based on the grinding position of the grinding head on the gray cast iron part. The gear 46 drives the outer meshing rack 42 to rotate, and the rack 42 drives the ring cover 41 to rotate. This ring cover 41 is connected to the inner side of the double-column limiting groove 27 opened in the machine base 21, thus limiting the rotation of the ring cover 41. The outer side of the ring cover 41 is sealed to the machine base 21 by a sealing ring to prevent water inside the double-column limiting groove 27 from overflowing outside the machine base 21. When the water spray nozzle 45 is facing the grinding position, the servo motor 47 is stopped, and the first water pump 26 is started. A water pump 26 draws water from the lower part of the filter plate 25 and the inside of the water groove 24. The water enters the through hole at the upper end of the machine base 21 from the first water pump 26, then enters the inside of the double column limiting groove 27, enters the inside of the inlet 44 through the lower channel 43, and is sprayed out from the inside of the spray nozzle 45, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the grinding head. The sprayed water is blocked by the ring cover 41 and flows from the water outlet 28 into the inside of the water groove 24. It is filtered by the filter plate 25, and the filtered water flows to the lower end of the filter plate 25, achieving the effect of water recycling. The water can be discharged by the rubber piston 23. When fixing the gray cast iron part, place the gray cast iron part on the upper end of the machine base 21, close to the upper end of the drain outlet 28. Rotate the handle 31 to drive the threaded rod 32 to rotate. The outer side of the threaded rod 32 is spirally connected to the inner side of the internal thread plate 33. When the threaded rod 32 rotates, it will move towards the gray cast iron part. The threaded rod 32 drives the fixed clamping plate 35 to move. The fixed clamping plate 35 drives the limiting telescopic rod 34 to extend. The limiting telescopic rod 34 limits the movement direction of the fixed clamping plate 35. When the two fixed clamping plates 35 clamp the gray cast iron part at the same time, the gray cast iron part is fixed, which improves the stability of the gray cast iron part during grinding and ensures the passing rate of grinding.
