DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0021] A marine propeller grinding device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a base 1 and a bracket 2, a grinding mechanism 3 is arranged on the bracket 2, a vertical slot 4 is arranged in the middle of the base 1, a positioning seat 5 is vertically lifted and connected in the vertical slot 4, a positioning slot 8 for inserting and positioning the hub 7 of the propeller 6 is opened on the top of the positioning seat 5, the grinding mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 9, a grinding roller 10 and a first motor 11, the first motor 11 drives the grinding roller 10 to rotate through a belt drive, the bracket 2 is horizontally slidably connected to the base 1, the bracket 2 can be driven by a motor with a screw rod or a cylinder, and the bracket 2 includes a vertical frame 1 2 and a horizontal frame 13, one end of the horizontal frame 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the vertical frame 12 by means of a rotating shaft, the other end of the horizontal frame 13 is provided with a lifting cylinder 14, the output end of the lifting cylinder 14 is provided with a second motor 15, the output end of the second motor 15 is connected to the mounting plate 9, the mounting plate 9 is driven to rotate by means of the second motor 15, the rotation center of the mounting plate 9 coincides with the center line of the hub 7, the center line of the grinding roller 10 is arranged parallel to the rotation center of the mounting plate 9, and the grinding roller 10 is driven to rotate by driving the mounting plate 9 to rotate to achieve grinding of the circumferential outer wall of the hub 7.

[0022] The lifting cylinder 14 can drive the grinding roller 10 to adjust the vertical height, thereby ensuring that the outer surface of the hub 7 can be polished, and adjustment can be achieved for hubs 7 of different specifications. The horizontal movement of the bracket 2 can adjust the horizontal position of the grinding roller 10 to improve applicability. After grinding, the grinding roller 10 can be moved horizontally so that it no longer contacts the surface of the hub 7, and then the cross frame 13 is turned open. At this time, the grinding mechanism 3 is no longer located around the propeller 6, which facilitates the removal and placement of the propeller 6.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a tightening sleeve 16 is arranged in the positioning groove 8, and the tightening sleeve 16 is made of a rubber sleeve. The tightening sleeve 16 is used to be sleeved on the propeller hub 7. An elastic rod is vertically elastically connected to the bottom wall of the positioning groove 8. The elastic rod includes a rod body 17 and a reset spring 18. The reset spring 18 drives the rod body 17 to reset to the top end and penetrate into the positioning groove 8. In addition, a pressing rod 19 is vertically slidably connected in the positioning groove 8. A linkage member for driving the pressing rod 19 and the rod body 17 to move in the opposite direction is arranged between the pressing rod 19 and the rod body 17. The moving part includes a connecting rod 20, the middle part of which is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 5, one end of the connecting rod 20 is movably hinged on the rod body 17, and the other end is movably hinged on the pressure rod 19; in this way, when the hub 7 is placed in the positioning groove 8, the weight of the hub 7 drives the rod body 17 to move downward and links the pressure rod 19 to move upward, and the pressure rod 19 presses the expansion sleeve 16 to realize automatic expansion and fixation of the hub 7, thereby improving the stability of the placement of the hub 7 and reducing the relative rotation of the hub 7 during grinding.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a magnet block 21 is embedded at the bottom of the positioning seat 5, and a ring-shaped electromagnet 22 is embedded at the bottom of the vertical slot 4 corresponding to the magnet block 21. When the positioning seat 5 descends to the bottom of the vertical slot 4, the electromagnet 22 contacts the magnet block 21. At this time, the electromagnet 22 is energized to further attract the magnet block 21 with the help of magnetic force, thereby further realizing the adsorption and fixation of the positioning seat 5 and improving the stability of the positioning seat 5.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a limit rod 23 is vertically slidably connected at the end of the blade 24 of the propeller 6 corresponding to the base 1, and the top side wall of the limit rod 23 is used to abut the end of the blade 24 to block and limit it in the horizontal direction. A driving rod 25 is vertically slidably connected to the bottom wall of the vertical groove 4, and the top of the driving rod 25 is located in the vertical groove 4. A compression spring 26 is provided on the base 1 to drive the driving rod 25 to move up and reset. The compression spring 26 drives the driving rod 25 to move up and reset until its top end penetrates into the vertical groove 4. A transmission member that links the two to move in opposite directions is provided between the driving rod 25 and the limit rod 23. The transmission member includes a transmission rod 27, and the transmission rod 27 is horizontally slidably connected to the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a transverse groove 26 for the transmission rod 27 to slide horizontally. 8. Both ends of the transmission rod 27 have wedge-shaped surfaces 29, and the ends of the driving rod 25 and the limiting rod 23 have inclined surfaces 30 abutting against the wedge-shaped surfaces 29. The weight of the driving rod 25 is less than that of the limiting rod 23. In the initial state, the top end of the driving rod 25 is located in the vertical groove 4, and the positioning seat 5 moves down to the bottom of the vertical groove 4 to drive the driving rod 25 to be pressed down. During the pressing process of the driving rod 25, the limiting rod 23 is synchronously driven to move up with the help of the transmission rod 27, so that the top end of the limiting rod 23 finally abuts against the end of the blade 24 to achieve horizontal blocking. In this embodiment, two limiting rods 23 are symmetrically arranged, and the horizontal blocking and limiting of the limiting rod 23 are used to prevent the propeller 6 from shaking and tilting, further positioning and blocking the propeller 6, and improving the stability of the placement of the propeller 6.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a clamping cylinder 31 is provided at the top of the mounting plate 9 corresponding to the hub 7, and the output end of the clamping cylinder 31 has a pressing block 32, and the mounting plate 9 has a receiving groove 33 for receiving the pressing block 32. The clamping cylinder 31 drives the pressing block 32 to move downward to further clamp and fix the hub 7, and further clamp and fix the hub 7 in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the up and down movement or rotation of the hub 7, improving the stability of the propeller 6, and improving the grinding accuracy.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a pushing cylinder 34 is provided at the bottom of the base 1, and the output end of the pushing cylinder 34 is penetrated at the bottom center of the vertical groove 4, and the output end of the pushing cylinder 34 is connected to the bottom wall of the positioning seat 5. After the polishing of the propeller 6 is completed, the positioning seat 5 can be driven upward by the pushing cylinder 34 to realize automatic upward reset, which is convenient for the subsequent removal of the propeller 6.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of downward air nozzles 35 are evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the mounting plate 9, and the air nozzles 35 are used to connect to a high-pressure air source. At the same time, a switch button 36 for controlling the opening and closing of the air nozzles 35 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting plate 9 corresponding to the hub 7. After grinding is completed in actual use, the ejection cylinder 34 drives the positioning seat 5 to move upward, and the switch button 36 is pressed on the top wall of the hub 7 to open the air nozzle 35. The air nozzle 35 blows air to clean the debris that has fallen on the propeller 6, and simultaneously realizes good cleaning of the debris. There is no need to clean it in other processes later, which saves processes and achieves the purpose of improving production efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the width of the vertical groove 4 is greater than the positioning seat 5, so that the outer circle of the vertical groove 4 forms a groove body 37 for receiving the debris during the grinding process, and a lifting plate 38 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the positioning seat 5, and the outer diameter of the lifting plate 38 is consistent with the width of the vertical groove 4. When the lifting cylinder 34 drives the lifting plate 38 to move up and reset, the top wall of the lifting plate 38 is flush with the top wall of the base 1. In this way, with the help of the lifting plate 38, the debris in the groove body 37 can be lifted to the horizontal position of the top wall of the base 1 during the upward movement of the positioning seat 5, which is convenient for the subsequent unified cleaning of the debris and improves the cleaning efficiency of the debris; in addition, a water tank for installing a water tank is provided at the bottom end of the grinding roller 10. The threaded section 39 of the horizontal push rod is threadedly connected to the grinding roller 10 to achieve detachability. The threaded section 39 can be removed when not in use, and installed when needed. Then, a horizontal push rod is installed on the threaded section 39. The horizontal push rod is driven downward to abut against the top wall of the base 1 by means of the lifting cylinder 14, and then the bracket 2 is driven to move horizontally to push the debris to one side with the help of the horizontal push rod, so that the debris can be uniformly collected and processed, and the grinding roller 10 can be used for multi-functional use, thereby having better practicality. After completing the grinding of the hub 7 at one end of the propeller 6, the propeller 6 is turned over and the hub 7 at the other end is ground.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
