Grinding wheels distributed on both sides of the knife belt 1 are installed on the knife sharpening mounting base 2. The two grinding wheels are driven to rotate by independent knife sharpening motors respectively, and the two grinding wheels are defined as a first grinding wheel 3 and a second grinding wheel 4 respectively. The first grinding wheel 3 is driven to rotate by a left knife sharpening motor 31 to grind the knife belt 1, and the second grinding wheel 4 is driven to rotate by a right knife sharpening motor 41 to grind the knife belt 1.

[0025] The long axis direction of the knife belt 1 in the horizontal direction is defined as the first direction, the direction horizontally perpendicular to the first direction is defined as the second direction, and the direction vertically perpendicular to the first direction is defined as the third direction. The first grinding wheel 3 and the second grinding wheel 4 are respectively driven by independent first adjustment components to move along the third direction.

[0026] The first grinding wheel 3 and the second grinding wheel 4 are distributed on both sides of the knife belt 1 along the second direction, and the first grinding wheel 3 and the second grinding wheel 4 are arranged obliquely.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, when the knife belt 1 is horizontal, in the third direction, the inclination direction of the first grinding wheel 3 is gradually inclined from top to bottom toward the knife belt 1, and the highest point and the lowest point of the first grinding wheel 3 are respectively located on both sides of the second direction of the knife belt 1; the inclination direction of the second grinding wheel 4 is gradually inclined from top to bottom toward the knife belt 1, and the highest point and the lowest point of the second grinding wheel 4 are respectively located on both sides of the second direction of the knife belt 1, and the highest point of the second grinding wheel 4 and the highest point of the first grinding wheel 3 are respectively located on both sides of the second direction of the knife belt 1.

[0028] The first adjustment component includes a transmission base plate 5, a propulsion motor 52, an adjustment screw 51 and a movable plate 53, wherein the transmission base plate 5 is a rectangular plate, the transmission base plate 5 is installed on one side of the sharpening mounting base 2, and a structural reinforcement plate 59 is also provided at the bottom end of the transmission base plate 5. The structural reinforcement plate 59 is a triangular plate. The structural reinforcement plate 59 is provided to strengthen the connection structure between the transmission base plate 5 and the sharpening mounting base 2, thereby ensuring the stable fixation of the transmission base plate 5.

[0029] The propulsion motor 52 is installed on the other side of the knife sharpening mounting base 2 through a motor fixing base 54. The motor fixing base 54 is a U-shaped structure. The upper and lower sides of the motor fixing base 54 are fixed on the knife sharpening mounting base 2. At the same time, the upper and lower sides of the motor fixing base 54 also have flange structures for fixing. A through hole is also opened on the motor fixing base 54 to allow the output shaft of the propulsion motor 52 to pass through.

[0030] The adjusting screw 51 extends along the third direction, and one side of the adjusting screw 51 is installed on the transmission base plate 5 through the cooperation of the screw support seat 55, and between the adjusting screw 51 and the screw support seat 55, the other side of the adjusting screw 51 passes through the sharpening mounting base 2 and is connected to the propulsion motor 52, and the adjusting screw 51 is driven by the propulsion motor 52 to rotate, and a screw nut 56 is provided on the adjusting screw 51 for use therewith.

[0031] The movable plate 53 is connected to the screw nut 56. An adjusting guide rail 57 is also provided on the transmission base plate 5 beside the adjusting screw 51. The adjusting guide rail 57 is distributed parallel to the adjusting screw 51. At the same time, a slider 58 used in conjunction with the adjusting guide rail 57 is installed on the movable plate 53. The movable plate 53 is driven by the adjusting screw 51 to reciprocate along the third direction.

[0032] The sharpening motor is mounted on the moving plate 53, and moves back and forth along the third direction with the moving plate 53. The connection between the sharpening motor and the moving plate 53 is as follows: the sharpening motor is fixed on a motor fixing seat 6, and the motor fixing seat 6 and the moving plate 53 are fixed by the cooperation of bolts and nuts. A through hole for the bolt to pass through is opened on the moving plate 53, and a waist-shaped hole for the bolt to pass through is opened on the motor fixing seat 6. After the bolt passes through the through hole on the moving plate 53 and the waist-shaped hole on the motor fixing seat 6 in turn, it is locked by the nut to achieve the fixation between the moving plate 53 and the motor fixing seat 6. The waist-shaped hole design on the motor fixing seat 6 is to facilitate the subsequent fine adjustment of the relative position between the motor fixing seat 6 and the moving plate 53, so as to achieve the fine adjustment of the angle and spacing between the corresponding grinding wheel and the knife belt 1.

[0033] The structure of the second adjustment component is similar to that of the first adjustment component. Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown in the schematic diagram of , the structural composition of the second adjustment component is the same as that of the first adjustment component, except that: in the second adjustment component, the adjustment screw 51 used to drive the left knife sharpening motor 31 or the right knife sharpening motor 41 to move extends along the second direction, and correspondingly, the adjustment guide rail 57 in the second adjustment component also extends along the second direction. In addition, in the second adjustment component, the adjustment motor 52 and the adjustment screw 51 are distributed on the same side of the knife sharpening mounting base 2, and the motor fixing seat 54 used to fix the adjustment motor 52 in the second adjustment component is a rectangular plate. Through such a design, the adjustment screw 51 can drive the left knife sharpening motor 31 or the right knife sharpening motor 41 to move along the second direction when rotating.

[0034] A knife support assembly is also installed on the knife sharpening mounting base 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, the knife support assembly includes a knife support seat 6, which is directly fixed on the knife sharpening installation base 2, and a pair of parallel knife support blocks 61 are installed on the knife support seat 6. The knife support blocks 61 are fixed on the knife support seat 6 by bolts, and the two knife support blocks 61 are staggered along the long axis direction of the knife belt 1, and a gap is left between the two knife support blocks 61 for the knife belt 1 to pass through. The design of the knife support assembly plays an auxiliary role in supporting the knife belt by setting two staggered knife support blocks 61, which provides a good foundation for the subsequent sharpening of the knife.

[0035] There are three knife support assemblies, which are spaced apart on both sides of the first grinding wheel 3 and the second grinding wheel 4 along the long axis direction of the knife belt 1. The design of three knife support assemblies spaced apart on both sides of the first grinding wheel 3 and the second grinding wheel 4 is adopted, so that whether the knife belt 1 is sharpened by the first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4, it can be ensured that there is a knife support assembly on both sides of the grinding wheel to support the knife belt 1, thereby ensuring the sharpening effect.

[0036] When it is necessary to adjust the relative position between the first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4 and the knife belt 1, the adjusting motor 52 corresponding to the first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4 is activated to drive the adjusting screw 51 to rotate, and the rotation of the adjusting screw 51 will drive the movable plate 53 to move along the third direction or the second direction, and then drive the corresponding first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4 to move along the third direction or the second direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4 and the knife belt 1, so as to utilize the first grinding wheel 3 or the second grinding wheel 4 to better grind the blade of the knife belt 1.

[0037] A programmable logic controller is connected to the knife sharpening motor and the propulsion motor 52 and is used to control the start and stop of the knife sharpening motor and the start and stop of the propulsion motor 52.

[0038] Two propulsion motors 52 are defined, wherein the propulsion motor 52 for driving the first grinding wheel 3 to move is a left propulsion motor, and the propulsion motor 52 for driving the second grinding wheel 4 to move is a right propulsion motor.

When it is detected that the speed of the knife sharpening motor reaches the predetermined speed, the next step is entered. #Grinding 1 axis. Actual Velocity, #Grinding 2 axis. Actual Velocity are the real-time speeds of the two knife sharpening motors. Grinding 1 is the left knife sharpening motor 31, and the grinding 1 axis is the output shaft of the left knife sharpening motor 31. Grinding 2 is the right knife sharpening motor 41, and the grinding 2 axis is the output shaft of the right knife sharpening motor 41. When the real-time speed of the knife sharpening motor is greater than or equal to V 初 When entering step S3, it is shown as follows: # Grind axis 1. ActualVelocity>=V 初 AND #grind axis 2.ActualVelocity>= V 初 ; S3: The programmable logic controller reads the load value of the grinding motor when the grinding wheel is unloaded and records it, where #Grinding1Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque and #Grinding2Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque are the real-time loads of the grinding motor, #Grinding1 No-load Torque and #Grinding2 No-load Torque are the no-load torque recording areas. When the no-load torque #Grinding1 No-load Torque of the left grinding motor is less than the real-time torque #Grinding1Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque, the real-time torque #Grinding1Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque is assigned to the no-load torque #Grinding1 No-load Torque. The no-load torque reading method of the right grinding motor is the same as that of the left grinding motor, as shown below: IF #Grind1No-loadTorque<#Grind1Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque THEN #Grind 1 no-load torque:= #Grind 1 axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque; END_IF; IF #Grind2No-loadTorque<#Grind2Axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque THEN #Grind 2 no-load torque:=#Grind 2 axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque; END_IF; The grinding wheel torque reading time is 1 second. When the time is reached and there is a value in the no-load torque address, go to step S4; S4: The programmable logic controller starts the propulsion motor and drives the grinding wheel to quickly position near the knife belt according to the preset value. #Absolute[0].Position and #Absolute[1].Position are the propulsion motor parameter setting areas. #Absolute[0].Execute and #Absolute[1].Execute are the propulsion motor start trigger points. #Feed Position is the preset position area. The preset value is assigned to the corresponding area of ​​the propulsion motor and the propulsion motor is triggered to move. It manifests as: #absolute[0].Position:=#feed position; #absolute[1].Position:=#feed position; #absolute[0].Execute:=TRUE; #absolute[1].Execute:=TRUE; When the propulsion motor reaches the predetermined position, the process goes to step S5; S5: The programmable logic controller starts the sharpening motor, drives the grinding wheel to rotate, starts sharpening, slowly pushes the grinding wheel to contact the knife belt, and determines whether to continue pushing according to the real-time load of the sharpening motor. #Sharpening thrust is the preset sharpening force value, #Propulsion span is the preset push displacement of the push motor once, when the real-time load of the left sharpening motor is less than the load recorded when the left sharpening motor is unloaded multiplied by the preset sharpening force percentage, the left push motor is triggered to move once, and the movement displacement is the preset push displacement of the push motor once. When the conditions are not met, the left push motor does not move, and the action of the right push motor is the same as the left push motor. The two motors are independently controlled and will not interfere with each other, as shown in the following: IF #grind1axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque<#grind1no-load torque* (1+#grinding thrust / 100) THEN #Relative[0].Distance:=#Advance span; #Relative[0].Execute:=TRUE; END_IF; IF #grind2axis.StatusTorqueData.ActualTorque<#grind2no-load torque* (1+#grinding thrust / 100) THEN #Relative[1].Distance:= #Advance span; #Relative[1].Execute:=TRUE; END_IF; S6: After the knife sharpening is completed, the programmable logic controller controls the propulsion motor to retract and drives the grinding wheel to retract. When the knife sharpening signal is turned off, the propulsion motor homing position parameter is given, and the propulsion motor action is triggered at the same time, and the forward rotation signal of the knife sharpening motor is turned off. The principle is the same as steps S1 and S4, and the no-load load value of the knife sharpening motor measured in step S3 is cleared, which is expressed as: #absolute[0].Position:= 0.0; #absolute[0].Execute:= TRUE; #absolute[1].Position:= 0.0; #absolute[1].Execute:= TRUE; #Jog[0].JogForward:= FALSE; #Jog[2].JogForward:= FALSE; # Grind 1 no-load torque: = 0; # Grind 2 no-load torque: = 0.
