Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of machining, and in particular to an inner hole grooving device and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of machining, especially when machining the inner holes of long shaft workpieces, it is often necessary to create various grooves within the holes for mounting and positioning. These grooves are typically used to install seals, bearings, or other components, and require high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. However, existing grooving tools have the following problems when processing long shaft workpieces:
[0003] Length limitations: Traditional grooving tools, due to their structural design and size limitations, struggle to adapt to the machining needs of long workpieces. These workpieces often exceed the effective working range of traditional tools, making it impossible to complete the grooving of the entire shaft length in one operation. To overcome this length limitation, long workpieces typically need to be segmented for grooving. This not only increases machining time and cost but can also lead to cumulative errors from multiple clampings, compromising final machining accuracy.
[0004] Poor grooving accuracy: When grooving in the inner hole of a long-axis workpiece, the tool is susceptible to vibration and offset, especially when there is no effective support, resulting in reduced grooving accuracy. Existing grooving tools often lack high-precision position feedback systems, making it difficult for operators to monitor and adjust the cutting depth in real time, thus affecting the consistency and accuracy of the grooving. Coolant supply and chip removal are key issues in the machining of the inner hole of a long-axis workpiece. If cooling is insufficient or chips cannot be removed in time, it will cause the tool to overheat and the quality of the cut surface to deteriorate.
[0005] Operational complexity: Traditional grooving tools often require manual adjustment of tool position and feed speed, which is complex and error-prone. The lack of an automated feed control system requires manual intervention for each grooving operation, reducing production efficiency.
[0006] Inconvenient maintenance and replacement: Traditional tool replacement is a cumbersome process that requires disassembly of multiple components, increasing downtime and maintenance costs. Wear on tools and other key components is difficult to detect, which can cause the equipment to operate in an unsuitable state and affect machining quality. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0055] Example 1
[0056] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, an internal hole grooving device includes a grooving device 5 mounted on a machine tool tailstock 4, the grooving device 5 is coaxial with a workpiece 2 mounted on a machine tool chuck 9, and a plurality of sliding support seats 3 are provided between the grooving device 5 and the machine tool slide rail 6;
[0057] The grooving device 5 includes a housing support assembly and an internal feed assembly. The internal feed assembly is located and slides inside the housing support assembly. A radially movable cutting tool 506 is provided at the end of the housing support assembly. The tool 5063 in the cutting tool 506 is used to cut the inner wall of the workpiece 2.
[0058] The outer shell support assembly includes an outer tube 501, a boring bar joint 502, an extension tube 503, a connecting tube 504 and a grooving fixed cylinder 505 connected in sequence. The grooving fixed cylinder 505 is provided with a right-angle drive plate 517 that is driven axially by an internal feed assembly. The cutting tool 506 is located at the end of the grooving fixed cylinder 505 through a slot structure and slides radially. A dovetail wedge 5171 is fixed on the oblique edge of the right-angle drive plate 517, and a dovetail groove 5064 is provided at the bottom of the cutting tool 506. The dovetail wedge 5171 rests against the dovetail groove 5064.
[0059] The cutting tool 506 moves radially on the grooving fixed cylinder 505 at the end of the shell support assembly. The cutting tool 506 is driven by the right-angle drive plate 517 driven by the internal feed assembly. The right-angle drive plate 517 moves in the dovetail groove 5064 at the bottom of the cutting tool 506 through the dovetail wedge block 5171 on the bevel edge, thereby pushing the cutting tool 506 to move radially, thereby cutting and grooving inside the workpiece 2.
[0060] The outer shell support assembly includes an outer tube 501, a boring bar joint 502, an extension tube 503, a connecting tube 504 and a groove fixing cylinder 505. These components together form a stable structure, ensuring that the entire device can be accurately positioned at the position to be processed. The internal feed assembly is located inside the outer shell support assembly and is responsible for driving the right-angle drive plate 517 to move along the axial direction. This movement is the basis for achieving radial displacement of the cutting tool. The cutting tool 506 is the part that directly participates in the cutting operation, and its bottom is designed with a dovetail groove 5064, which is used in conjunction with the dovetail wedge 5171 on the right-angle drive plate. When the right-angle drive plate is moved by the internal feed assembly, the force is transmitted to the cutting tool through the inclined contact, causing the tool to move radially outward or inward, thereby performing the cutting action.
[0061] The right-angle drive plate 517 and dovetail wedge 5171 work together to control the radial position of the cutting tool. The right-angle drive plate advances or retreats based on the power provided by the internal feed assembly, pushing the cutting tool to make corresponding radial motion during the movement of the right-angle drive plate.
[0062] Sliding support seat 3: It is arranged between the grooving device and the machine tool slide rail, providing necessary support and ensuring the stability of the entire device during operation.
[0063] Preferably, the internal feeding assembly includes a screw rod 509, a transmission rod joint 511, a connecting rod 512, a transmission rod 513, an extension rod 515 and a driving rod 516 connected in sequence;
[0064] A bottom cover 508 is fixed to the tail of the outer tube 501, and a screw rod 509 is threadedly connected to the bottom cover 508 through a threaded sleeve;
[0065] A rotating shaft 510 is provided between the end of the screw rod 509 and the transmission rod joint 511. One end of the rotating shaft 510 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 509 and rotated in the transmission rod joint 511 through a bearing.
[0066] The end of the driving rod 516 is fixedly connected to the right-angle driving plate 517 .
[0067] The rotation of the lead screw 509 can push the transmission rod joint 511, the connecting rod 512, the transmission rod 513, the extension rod 515, the driving rod 516 and the right-angle driving plate 517 to move, thereby causing the cutting tool 506 to move radially for cutting.
[0068] As the lead screw 509 rotates, it moves forward and backward through the threaded engagement between the threaded sleeve and the bottom cover 508. This movement is transmitted to the drive rod 516 via a series of connectors, which in turn drives the right-angle drive plate 517 and its dovetail wedge 5171. Because the dovetail wedge rests within the dovetail slot 5064 at the bottom of the cutting tool 506, the movement of the right-angle drive plate causes the cutting tool to move radially outward or inward accordingly, thereby completing the cutting operation within the workpiece.
[0069] Preferably, a grating scale component 507 is fixedly provided on one side of the outer tube 501 , and a sliding reading head 520 is provided on the grating scale 519 in the grating scale component 507 , and the reading head 520 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 512 through an indicator rod clamp bracket 518 .
[0070] A grating scale 519, engraved with fine lines or a grid pattern, is mounted on one side of the outer tube 501 and serves as a fixed reference point. A readhead 520 slides along the scale, detecting changes in the scale lines through the photoelectric effect to read the current position. An indicator rod clamp bracket 518 secures the readhead 520 to the connecting rod 512, ensuring that when the connecting rod moves, the readhead follows and accurately reflects the position changes of the internal feed assembly.
[0071] As the lead screw 509 rotates, pushing the entire internal feed assembly axially, the connecting rod 512 moves accordingly, driving the connected readhead 520. Because the readhead is in close contact with the scale 519, it can capture position changes relative to the scale in real time, converting this data into digital signals and transmitting them to the control system. This allows the control system to accurately determine the current feed position and adjust the motor output to achieve the desired machining accuracy.
[0072] Preferably, both ends of the grating scale 519 are fixedly connected to the outer tube 501 through a grating clamp bracket 521. A through groove 5011 is provided on both sides of the outer tube 501. A clamping block 5211 is provided inside the grating clamp bracket 521. The clamping block 5211 abuts against the through groove 5011, thereby limiting the rotation of the grating clamp bracket 521.
[0073] The grating clamp bracket 521 is used to securely attach the grating scale 519 to the outer tube 501. It provides sufficient rigidity to support the scale. The clamping blocks 5211 are located on one or more protrusions within the grating clamp bracket. They are designed to fit into the through slots 5011 on either side of the outer tube. These long, rectangular openings on either side of the outer tube 501 provide a location and locking mechanism for the clamping blocks 5211.
[0074] Preferably, a first through hole 5053 is provided in the groove fixing cylinder 505, and a coolant nozzle 523 is fixed at one end of the first through hole 5053, the coolant nozzle 523 faces the tool 5063, and the other end is connected to the interior of the connecting pipe 504;
[0075] The interiors of the connecting rod 512, transmission rod 513, extension rod 515, and drive rod 516 in the internal feed assembly are hollow. A high-pressure water pipe connector 522 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 512. The interior of the drive rod 516 communicates with the interior of the connecting pipe 504 via a second through hole 5161.
[0076] The coolant introduced into the high-pressure water pipe joint 522 is sprayed out from the connecting rod 512, the transmission rod 513, the extension rod 515, the drive rod 516, the second through hole 5161, the connecting pipe 504 and the first through hole 5053 to the coolant nozzle 523.
[0077] The coolant nozzle 523 is located at one end of the first through hole 5053 in the groove fixing cylinder 505 and faces the tool 5063. This design ensures that the coolant is sprayed directly into the cutting area, effectively reducing the cutting temperature and thermal deformation, while also helping to flush away chips and keep the work area clean.
[0078] The connecting rod 512, transmission rod 513, extension rod 515 and drive rod 516 are all hollow, forming a continuous coolant channel. A high-pressure water pipe connector 522 is connected to the connecting rod 512, allowing coolant to enter the entire coolant channel from an external pumping system.
[0079] The second through hole 5161 is provided on the driving rod 516 for connecting the passage between the interior of the driving rod and the connecting tube 504 , thereby ensuring that the coolant can flow smoothly to the first through hole 5053 .
[0080] After entering from the high-pressure water pipe joint 522, the coolant passes through the connecting rod 512, the transmission rod 513, the extension rod 515, the drive rod 516 in sequence, then enters the connecting pipe 504 through the second through hole 5161, and finally reaches the coolant nozzle 523 through the first through hole 5053, where it is sprayed onto the cutting area on the tool 5063.
[0081] Preferably, square grooves 5055 are provided on both sides of the central hole 5054 in the slotted fixed cylinder 505, and the outer side of the right-angle drive plate 517 abuts against and slides in the square grooves 5055;
[0082] A first clamping groove 5051 is provided at the end of the grooving fixing cylinder 505 , and the cutting tool 506 abuts against the first clamping groove 5051 and moves radially.
[0083] A central hole 5054, located within the slotted fixed cylinder 505, provides an axial passage for the entire assembly, allowing passage of the internal feed assembly and other components. Square grooves 5055, located on either side of the central hole 5054, provide sliding tracks for the right-angle drive plate 517. The outer sides of the right-angle drive plate fit tightly into the square grooves, ensuring that it can only move along a predetermined path, namely, radially, thereby driving the cutting tool 506 for precise radial displacement.
[0084] The first slot 5051 is provided at the end of the slot fixing cylinder 505 for supporting and guiding the radial movement of the cutting tool 506. The cutting tool rests on this slot and can slide freely in the radial direction under the action of the dovetail wedge 5171 while maintaining the correct positioning.
[0085] The square groove 5055 guides the right-angle drive plate 517 with a square or rectangular cross-section, ensuring that the drive plate can only move in the expected direction, reducing unnecessary shaking or deviation, and improving processing accuracy.
[0086] The first groove 5051 provides a stable fulcrum for the cutting tool 506, ensuring that the tool will not tilt or change position in other forms during operation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent cutting quality and depth.
[0087] Preferably, the outer side of the grooving fixed cylinder 505 is provided with a plurality of key slots 5052, and a guide key block is fixed in the key slot 5052, and the guide key block abuts against the inner wall of the workpiece 2. When cutting, the guide key block abuts against the inner wall of the workpiece 2 to reduce the vibration during cutting and avoid affecting the cutting accuracy.
[0088] When the grooving fixing cylinder 505 is inserted into the inner hole of the workpiece 2, the guide key block will rest against the inner wall of the workpiece. This ensures that the grooving device maintains the correct center position throughout the cutting process and prevents the cutting quality from being affected by offset. The contact between the guide key block and the inner wall of the workpiece increases the rigidity of the entire system and helps to absorb and disperse the vibrations generated during the cutting process. This reduces the vibration of the tool and ensures the smoothness and dimensional accuracy of the cutting surface. Through the action of multiple guide key blocks, any unexpected movement of the grooving fixing cylinder 505 relative to the workpiece 2, such as rotation or radial offset, can be effectively limited, thereby further improving the processing accuracy. The guide key block can also play a certain self-centering role, helping to quickly and accurately place the grooving device in the center of the inner hole of the workpiece, especially during manual operation, which can greatly simplify the alignment process.
[0089] Preferably, a tool handle fixing seat 5062 is fixed to one side of the sliding seat 5061 in the cutting tool 506, and a second clamping groove 5065 is provided between the tool handle fixing seat 5062 and both sides of the sliding seat 5061, and the second clamping groove 5065 is clamped in the first clamping groove 5051 at the end of the groove fixing cylinder 505;
[0090] A dovetail slot 5064 is provided at the rear of the sliding seat 5061, and a dovetail wedge 5171 abuts against the dovetail slot 5064;
[0091] The tool 5063 is fixed in the tool handle fixing seat 5062 by means of bolts and the tool handle pressing block 5066 .
[0092] The sliding seat 5061 is the primary support component for the cutting tool 506. It engages with the dovetail wedge 5171 on the right-angle drive plate 517 via a dovetail slot 5064, enabling radial movement. A toolholder mounting seat 5062, located on one side of the sliding seat 5061, secures the cutting tool 5063. A second retaining groove 5065 is provided between the toolholder mounting seat and the sliding seat. This retaining groove engages with the first retaining groove 5051 at the end of the slotting retaining cylinder 505, ensuring smooth radial movement of the entire tool assembly within the cylinder. This provides additional guidance and positioning, preventing the tool from drifting or rotating during movement.
[0093] The dovetail slot 5064 is located at the tail of the sliding seat 5061 and is tightly matched with the dovetail wedge 5171 on the right-angle drive plate 517. When the right-angle drive plate moves, the dovetail wedge pushes the sliding seat to move in the radial direction through the inclined surface, thereby driving the entire tool to perform cutting operations.
[0094] The cutter 5063 is fixed in the cutter handle fixing seat 5062 by bolts and the cutter handle pressing block 5066. This fixing method is both firm and convenient to disassemble, allowing different types of cutters to be replaced as needed.
[0095] When the internal feed assembly drives the right-angle drive plate 517 to move, the dovetail wedge 5171 pushes the sliding seat 5061 along the dovetail slot 5064. The sliding seat 5061, along with the tool holder 5062 and the tool 5063, moves radially. The cooperation between the second retaining groove 5065 and the first retaining groove 5051 ensures the tool's stability and accuracy during movement. As the tool 5063 cuts the inner wall of the workpiece 2, coolant is dispensed from the coolant nozzle 523 to aid cooling and chip removal.
[0096] Preferably, a fixed plate 7 is fixed at the end of the machine tool slide rail 6, and a motor 8 is fixed on the fixed plate 7. A rotating feed screw 10 is provided between the two machine tool slide rails 6. One end of the feed screw 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 8, and the other end rests on the machine tool through a bearing seat. The bottom of the machine tool tailstock 4 is threadedly connected to the feed screw 10 through a threaded sleeve 11.
[0097] A fixed plate 7, located at the end of the machine tool's slide rail 6, is used to mount the motor 8. This plate provides stable support, ensuring that the motor does not produce unnecessary vibration or displacement during operation. Motor 8, mounted on this plate, is the power source for the entire feed system. The motor's output shaft directly drives the feed screw 10, which in turn drives the tailstock 4 along the slide rail.
[0098] The feed screw 10 is a long, threaded rod with one end fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 8 and the other end resting against the machine tool via a bearing block. The feed screw converts the motor's rotational motion into linear motion, thereby moving the machine tool tailstock 4 along the machine tool slide rails 6. A threaded sleeve 11 is mounted at the bottom of the machine tool tailstock 4 and is threadedly connected to the feed screw 10. As the feed screw rotates, the sleeve moves along the thread of the screw, thereby driving the entire machine tool tailstock 4 forward or backward along the slide rails.
[0099] When the motor 8 is started and rotated, it drives the feed screw 10 to rotate via the output shaft. The rotation of the feed screw 10 is transmitted to the threaded sleeve 11 through a threaded connection, causing the threaded sleeve to move axially along the threaded sleeve. Since the threaded sleeve 11 is fixed to the bottom of the machine tool tailstock 4, as the threaded sleeve moves, the entire machine tool tailstock will also move along the machine tool slide rail 6. By controlling the speed and direction of the motor, the position of the machine tool tailstock can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise processing of the workpiece 2.
[0100] Example 2
[0101] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, in combination with Example 1, a method for using an inner hole grooving device is further described, and the method steps are as follows:
[0102] S1. Workpiece Installation and Alignment
[0103] Installing the workpiece: First, firmly install the workpiece 2 to be processed on the machine tool chuck 9.
[0104] Install the grooving device: The grooving device 5 is fixedly installed in the tailstock 4 of the machine tool and ensured to be coaxial with the workpiece 2. In order to ensure stability, a sliding support base 3 is set in the middle of the grooving device 5 to provide additional support.
[0105] S2. Move to cutting position
[0106] Move the grooving device: The grooving device 5 and the tool 5063 are moved by the tailstock 4 of the machine tool to the predetermined grooving position inside the workpiece 2. This process needs to be slow and steady to avoid any unnecessary shock or vibration.
[0107] S3. Cutting and grooving
[0108] Drive the screw to rotate: Start the motor or manually start the screw 509 to rotate. The rotation of the screw drives the right-angle drive plate 517 to move axially through the internal feed assembly.
[0109] Radially moving tool: As the right-angle drive plate 517 moves, the dovetail wedge 5171 abuts against the dovetail groove 5064 at the bottom of the cutting tool 506, pushing the tool 506 to move radially, so that the tool 5063 cuts and grooves the inner wall of the workpiece 2.
[0110] S4. Monitoring and retraction
[0111] Feedback of cutting depth: When the internal feed assembly moves as a whole, the indicator rod clamp bracket 518 will drive the reading head 520 to move on the grating scale 519, and provide real-time feedback on the cutting depth of the tool 5063.
[0112] Reaching the specified depth: When the reading head 520 indicates that the tool has reached the predetermined cutting depth, the feeding action is stopped.
[0113] Retract the tool: Control the internal feed assembly to move in the reverse direction, so that the tool 5063 retracts from the inner wall of the workpiece 2, completing the grooving operation.
[0114] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions set forth in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions set forth in the claims. In other words, equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
