[0033] The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific implementations disclosed below.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a high-precision horizontal compound grinding machine comprises: an outer cylindrical grinding wheel assembly 1, an inner cylindrical grinding wheel assembly 4, a grinding wheel frame 5, and a B-axis turret 6; the outer cylindrical grinding wheel assembly 1 is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5, and the inner cylindrical grinding wheel assembly 4 is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5; the B-axis turret 6 comprises a box 605, a B-axis core shaft, a turntable bearing 603, and a single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614; the B-axis core shaft is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5, and the B-axis core shaft is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5. The turntable bearing 603 and the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 are rotatably arranged in the box body 605. The turntable bearing 603 is connected to one end of the B-axis core shaft to limit the support of the B-axis core shaft. The single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 is connected to the other end of the B-axis core shaft to support the B-axis core shaft. The centers of the outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1 assembly and the inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4 assembly are coplanar and coincide with the center plane of the outer ring thickness of the turntable bearing 603.
[0037] In this embodiment, the B-axis axis is a vertical axis. This high-precision horizontal composite grinding machine positions the B-axis spindle 601 between a single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 and a turntable bearing 603, allowing the B-axis spindle to be limited and supported by the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 and the turntable bearing 603. This minimizes deformation of the B-axis spindle 601 under stress, further improving the rigidity of the B-axis spindle 601, preventing vibration of the B-axis spindle 601 during grinding, and further improving the grinding quality of the workpiece 7. Furthermore, the structural arrangement in which the centers of the outer spindle 2 and the inner spindle 3 are coplanar and coincide with the center plane of the outer ring thickness of the turntable bearing 603 minimizes the force arm of the grinding wheel assembly during grinding, thereby reducing the torque applied to the turntable bearing 603 during regrinding, improving the rigidity of the turntable bearing 603, and further enhancing the rigidity and reliability of the B-axis turret 6.
[0038] In one embodiment, the grinding wheel frame 5 is mounted on the end face of the B-axis core shaft 601 by screws, the B-axis core shaft 601 is connected to the box 605 of the B-axis turret 6 through the turntable bearing 603, the inner ring of the turntable bearing 603 is connected to the step surface of the B-axis core shaft 601 by screws, and the outer ring of the turntable bearing 603 is connected to the step surface of the B-axis box 605 by screws. A box 605 pressure cover 602 is provided in the box 605 of the B-axis turret 6, and the box 605 pressure cover 602 is mounted on the box 605 of the B-axis turret 6 by screws to compress the B-axis core shaft, turntable bearing 603 and single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 structure set in the box 605, and a dust cover 608 is provided at the end of the box 605 to prevent external dust from entering the box 605.
[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the B-axis turret 6 also includes a torque motor 604 and a detection and positioning assembly. The torque motor 604 is disposed within a housing 605 and located between the turntable bearing 603 and the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614. The detection and positioning assembly is disposed within the housing 605 and below the B-axis spindle to detect and position the rotation angle of the B-axis spindle. The detection and positioning assembly includes a circular grating 609 and a locking disk 610. The circular grating 609 is disposed between the locking disk 610 and the B-axis spindle and located below the B-axis spindle. The locking disk 610 is fixedly mounted within the housing 605 to securely lock the circular grating 609. An adapter spindle 612 is disposed within the housing 605 and connected to the B-axis spindle. The circular grating 609 is disposed on the stepped surface of the adapter spindle 612 to detect and position the rotation angle of the B-axis spindle 601.
[0040] In one embodiment, a transition flange 613 is provided in the housing 605 of the B-axis turret 6, the transition flange 613 is installed on the rear bearing seat 606, the locking plate 610 is installed on the end face of the transition flange 613 by screws, the adapter core shaft 612 is connected to the B-axis core shaft 601, and the circular grating 609 is installed on the step surface of the adapter core shaft 612.
[0041] In this embodiment, the B-axis spindle 601 is driven to rotate by a torque motor 604, thereby driving the grinding wheel frame 5 to rotate. The grinding wheel frame 5 is equipped with two outer cylindrical spindles, three inner cylindrical spindles, an inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4, and an outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1, thereby achieving the rotation of the outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1 and the inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4. At the same time, after the B-axis spindle 601 rotates, the rotation position is detected by a circular grating 609 and fed back to the CNC system electrically connected to the circular grating 609, thereby achieving precise positioning of the rotation angle of the B-axis spindle 601. In a preferred embodiment, the circular grating 609 can enable the B-axis spindle 601 to achieve a repeatable positioning accuracy within an angle range of 1°. In addition, the circular grating 609 is locked by the setting of a locking disk 610, thereby achieving high-precision rotation, positioning, and locking of the B-axis spindle 601, further ensuring high-precision rotation of the B-axis turret 6.
[0042] Furthermore, the torque motor 604 is arranged between the turntable bearing 603 and the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614, thereby making the structure of the B-axis turret 6 in the high-precision horizontal composite grinding machine more compact and convenient for installation and transportation.
[0043] See also Figure 2The B-axis turret 6 also includes a rear bearing seat 606, a bearing pressure cover 607 and a labyrinth cover 611; the rear bearing seat 606 is arranged on the end face of the B-axis housing 605 close to the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614, and the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 is arranged in the mounting hole of the rear bearing seat 606. The bearing pressure cover 607 abuts against the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 to press the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 to support the B-axis core shaft. The labyrinth cover 611 is arranged at the end of the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614 to seal the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614.
[0044] In this embodiment, the provision of bearing pressure cap 607 further compresses the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614, eliminating gaps in the B-axis structure and thus preventing vibration of the B-axis spindle 601 when the grinding wheel is subjected to force during grinding. This further enhances the rigidity of the high-precision horizontal compound grinding machine, improves grinding quality, and ensures the grinding accuracy of the high-precision horizontal compound grinding machine. Furthermore, the provision of labyrinth cover 611 effectively seals the single-row cylindrical roller bearing 614, preventing grease leakage within the bearing.
[0045] In one embodiment, the torque motor 604 includes a stator and a rotor; the stator is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 605, and the rotor is mounted on the outer cylindrical surface of the B-axis core shaft. A motor pressure cover 615 for positioning and locking the rotor and an adjustment pad 616 for adjusting the position of the rotor are arranged in the B-axis turret 6. The motor pressure cover 615 is connected to the rotor and the motor pressure cover 615 is connected to the step surface of the B-axis core shaft 601. An adjustment pad 616 is arranged between the motor pressure cover 615 and the rotor.
[0046] In this embodiment, the stator of the torque motor 604 is installed in the box 605 of the B-axis turret 6 by screws, and the rotor of the torque motor 604 is installed on the outer cylindrical surface of the B-axis core shaft 601. The motor cover 615 is connected to the rotor of the torque motor 604 by screws, and at the same time, the end face of the motor cover 615 is connected to the step surface of the B-axis core shaft 601 by screws, thereby achieving positioning and locking with the rotor of the torque motor 604. The bearing installation position of the rotor of the torque motor 604 is further adjusted by adjusting the pad 616.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1 assembly includes an outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1 and an outer cylindrical spindle 2, and the inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4 assembly includes an inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4 and an inner cylindrical spindle 3; the outer cylindrical grinding wheel 1 is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5 through the outer cylindrical spindle 2, and the inner cylindrical grinding wheel 4 is connected to the grinding wheel frame 5 through the inner cylindrical spindle 3, and the centers of the outer cylindrical spindle 2 and the inner cylindrical spindle 3 are coplanar and coincide with the center plane of the outer ring thickness of the turntable bearing 603.
[0048] In this embodiment, the centers of the outer spindle 2 and inner spindle 3 of this high-precision horizontal composite grinding machine are coplanar, coinciding with the center plane of the thickness of the outer ring of the turntable bearing 603. This is done to reduce the force on the turntable bearing 603 during grinding, thereby improving the rigidity of the B-axis turret 6 during grinding. The torque borne by the turntable bearing 603 of the B-axis turret 6 during grinding is as follows: M=F×L, where F is the force applied to the grinding wheel during grinding; L is the length of the lever arm of the turntable bearing 603 during grinding. Therefore, when the grinding force F is certain, to improve the rigidity of the turntable bearing 603 of the B-axis turret 6, it is necessary to reduce the length of the lever arm L of the turntable bearing 603 during grinding. In the present invention, the centers of the outer spindle 2 and the inner spindle 3 are made coplanar and coincide with the center plane of the thickness of the outer ring of the turntable bearing 603, so that the lever arm L is minimized during grinding by the grinding wheel, and the torque applied to the turntable bearing 603 is the minimum torque during grinding, thereby further improving the rigidity of the B-axis turret 6.
[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0050] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
