DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 8 The device for improving the surface quality and performance of the groove of a bearing ring shown in the figure comprises a chuck 1, which is a three-jaw chuck commonly used in the prior art. A die base 2 is arranged on the front surface of the chuck 1, and an expansion sleeve 3 is movably connected to the front surface of the die base 2. Groups of deformation openings 4 are respectively opened on the front and rear edges of the outer surface of the expansion sleeve 3. Each group of deformation openings 4 is arranged in a ring array. A first deformation portion 15 is formed between adjacent deformation openings 4 at the rear, and a second deformation portion 16 is formed between adjacent deformation openings 4 at the front. The front surface of the die base 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the expansion sleeve 3. It is connected to a fixed cylinder 8, and groups of plug posts 10 are respectively arranged at the front and rear edges of the outer surface of the fixed cylinder 8. Each group of plug posts 10 is arranged as a number of plug posts distributed in a circular array. The plug posts 10 and the fixed cylinder 8 are slidingly connected through an elastic mechanism. One end of the front plug post 10 contacts the inner wall of the second deformation part 16, and one end of the rear plug post 10 contacts the inner wall of the first deformation part 15. A threaded hole 18 is opened through the middle of the front surface of the mold base 2, and a threaded column 17 is threadedly inserted into the front end of the threaded hole 18, and a pushing ring 19 is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the threaded column 17.
[0031] The upper and lower parts of the rear side of the expansion sleeve 3 are respectively fixedly connected with the connection blocks 5, and the rear ends of the two side surfaces of the connection blocks 5 are respectively fixedly connected with the side blocks 6. The upper and lower parts of the front surface of the mold base 2 are respectively provided with sliding openings 7. The connection blocks 5 are slidably inserted into the ports of the sliding openings 7, and the side blocks 6 are movably inserted into the inner side of the sliding openings 7. It should be noted that: the side wall of the sliding opening 7 is in contact with the side surface of the side block 6, but there is a gap between the inner rear wall of the sliding opening 7 and the side block 6 to ensure that the deformation of the first deformation part 15 is not interfered.
[0032] The elastic mechanism includes a guide cylinder 9 fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the fixed cylinder 8, a plug post 10 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the guide cylinder 9, one end of the plug post 10 away from the expansion sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a moving disk 13, one end of the guide cylinder 9 close to the moving disk 13 is fixedly connected to a fixed disk 11, a compression spring 12 is fixedly connected between the moving disk 13 and the fixed disk 11, and the compression spring 12 is sleeved on the surface of the plug post 10. The compression spring 12 provides elastic force to ensure that when the moving disk 13 is not pushed, one end of the plug post 10 will not press against the inner wall of the expansion sleeve 3.
[0033] The front and rear surfaces of the pushing ring 19 are respectively provided with transition curved surfaces 20. Play a guiding role, ensure that the moving disk 13 can be pushed when the pushing ring 19 moves backward.
[0034] A contact sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the front end of the threaded column 17 , and the contact sleeve 21 facilitates the rotation of the threaded column 17 .
[0035] The following discloses the adaptation method of the device in use: the rear surface of the chuck 1 is connected to the output end of the lathe 24, the upper surface of the lathe 24 is slidably connected to the slide 25, the front surface of the slide 25 is fixedly installed with a second motor 28, the output shaft of the second motor 28 is fixedly connected to the pushing column 22, the pushing column 22 rotates and penetrates the outer surface of the slide 25, the rear end of the pushing column 22 is fixedly connected to the pushing head 23, and the pushing head 23 is located in front of the contact sleeve 21. The second motor 28 drives the pushing column 22 to rotate.
[0036] An ultrasonic rolling machine 29 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the lathe 24, and a rolling head 30 is arranged at the lower end of the ultrasonic rolling machine 29, and the rolling head 30 is located above the expansion sleeve 3. This part is the prior art, which is relatively common in the ultrasonic rolling treatment of metal surfaces, and will not be described in detail.
[0037] A first motor 27 is fixedly connected to the rear end of one side surface of the lathe 24, and a screw rod 26 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 27. The screw rod 26 is rotatably connected to the side of the lathe 24, and the screw rod 26 is threaded through the inner side of the slide 25. The operation of the first motor 27 causes the screw rod 26 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the slide 25.
[0038] The method for improving the surface quality and performance of the bearing ring groove is carried out using the above-mentioned device and comprises the following steps:
[0039] S1, heat treatment is performed on the groove of the inner ring 31 of the bearing before ultrasonic surface rolling treatment;
[0040] S2, rough grinding and fine grinding of the groove surface of the bearing inner ring 31;
[0041] S3, the bearing inner ring 31 is sleeved on the outer surface of the expansion sleeve 3 for positioning, and then the bearing inner ring 31 is subjected to ultrasonic rolling operation.
[0042] By ultrasonically rolling the bearing inner ring 31, the surface micromorphology of the groove of the bearing inner ring 31 is significantly improved, and the micro cracks caused by grinding the bearing groove surface are effectively eliminated; a bearing ring groove surface quality and performance improvement device and method of the present invention improves the process flow and saves costs; improves the stress distribution on the bearing inner ring surface during processing, improves the fatigue resistance of the bearing, and is simple to operate and has high stability.
[0043] The user puts the bearing inner ring 31 on the surface of the expansion sleeve 3 to fix it, and moves it backward by rotating the threaded column 17. The pushing ring 19 pushes the movable disk 13 relatively located in the front to a limited extent, so that the plug column 10 pushes the second deformation part 16. The second deformation part 16 is tightened and firmly contacts the inner wall of the bearing inner ring 31. Under the action of the subsequent rolling head 30, the surface of the bearing inner ring 31 is rolled. After a certain number of rolling circles are completed, the threaded column 17 is rotated in the opposite direction relative to the chuck 1, so that the threaded column 17 moves further backward. At this time, the pushing ring 19 will contact the movable disk 13 relatively located in the rear, so that the plug column 10 at this position pushes the first deformation part 15, that is, the position of the tightening force on the bearing inner ring 31 is changed, so as to prevent the problem of excessive concentration of force at a local position of the inner wall of the bearing inner ring 31 and deformation damage during a long period of ultrasonic rolling.
[0044] When the user controls the rotation of the threaded column 17, the first motor 27 is driven to rotate the screw rod 26, thereby driving the slide 25 to move backward, so that the pushing column 22 moves backward. At the same time, the second motor 28 is driven to rotate the pushing column 22. When the rotating pushing head 23 touches the contact sleeve 21, the threaded column 17 rotates and has a force to move backward. Therefore, the threaded column 17 will move backward relatively along the inner side of the threaded hole 18. In this way, the threaded column 17 can be automatically controlled to move backward, which is convenient to operate.
[0045] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions only describe the principles of the present invention. The present invention may be subject to various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
