Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of precision machining, and particularly relates to a polishing device and method for the inner hole of an elongated straight pipe. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the miniaturization of modern high-end precision equipment, flow channel parts with small caliber, variable diameter and elongated features are widely used in the fields of aerospace, biomedicine and chemical industry, and bear the functions of sample extraction, fluid delivery, heat conduction and heat dissipation. Due to manufacturing methods and other reasons, the surface of the inner flow channel of a workpiece manufactured by additive manufacturing and other methods is very rough and has various defects, which can easily cause problems such as large flow resistance of the flow channel, liquid residue and powder shedding during use. Therefore, it is necessary to use polishing and other methods to improve the surface quality of the inner flow channel and thus improve the flow characteristics of the internal fluid. However, the polishing effect of traditional polishing methods on small-size, large-length-diameter-ratio and complex-structure inner flow channel parts cannot meet the requirements.

[0003] For polishing of elongated pipe fittings, the existing methods generally include electrolytic polishing, centrifugal polishing and magnetic polishing. Electrolytic polishing uses a workpiece as an anode to dissolve by means of oxidation-reduction reaction, but it is impossible to design a cathode for complex flow channel parts, and thus it is impossible to achieve polishing of complex flow channels. Mechanical polishing must be performed before electrolytic polishing to remove oxide skin, and electrolytic polishing has certain requirements for the inner wall roughness. Centrifugal polishing achieves polishing effect through centrifugal movement of the workpiece and abrasive on the centrifugal disc. Magnetic force grinding uses a magnet to drive magnetic particles in the pipe for polishing, but the magnetic force cannot effectively control the magnetic particles inside the flow channel for complex flow channel parts with large wall thickness. Centrifugal polishing and magnetic force polishing can only achieve micro cutting and are not suitable for polishing of elongated pipe fittings with large cutting amount and large batch, and the efficiency is relatively low. Abrasive flow method can also be used to process elongated pipes, but abrasive flow processing requires a certain pressure to inject fluid to complete the processing. If the pressure is small, the processing of the surface of the workpiece cannot be completed, but if the pressure is large, the surface of the workpiece will be damaged to a certain extent.

[0004] At present, the devices for polishing the inner surface by mechanical polishing method have the problem that the size of the tool head limits the mechanical polishing method. The polishing tools are mostly polishing discs and polishing rollers, which can only polish large-caliber flow channels with an inner diameter of dozens of millimeters, and have the problems of complex transmission mechanism and low polishing efficiency. The polishing method using polishing ropes has the problem that the movement direction of the polishing ropes in the hole is mostly parallel to the axis of the inner hole of the workpiece, and the polishing is performed by rotating the polishing ropes around the axis of the inner hole. The two ends of the polishing ropes are fixed, and the polishing is performed by spreading the polishing ropes by centrifugal force. This method also cannot adapt to the polishing of elongated variable-diameter inner holes.

[0005] The existing patents related to polishing of elongated variable-diameter inner holes are as follows:

[0006] The Chinese patent CN115464541A designs an intelligent polishing machine for the inner hole of an elongated pipe, which passes a polishing rope with radial bristles through a workpiece by winding it around several pulleys and connects the polishing rope at both ends with a threaded cylinder and a threaded pin. On the one hand, this patent requires a special traction rope with radial bristles as a polishing consumable, and connecting the traction rope at both ends requires installing a threaded cylinder and a threaded pin at both ends of the traction rope. Due to the size limitation of the threaded cylinder, it cannot polish smaller inner holes, and the polishing rope needs to pass through tensioning wheels, guide wheels and other structures before polishing, which takes a long time to prepare. On the other hand, the polishing rope in the inner hole is parallel to the inner hole axis. For variable-diameter inner holes, selecting smaller bristles will weaken the polishing effect of the large-diameter part, and selecting larger bristles will be affected by the small-diameter size and even unable to enter.

[0007] The Chinese patent CN206998477U is an inner hole polishing machine for an elongated pipe, which passes a yarn through a workpiece by winding it around several pulleys and connects it at both ends. There is an abrasive outlet at one end of the workpiece to release abrasive, which is brought into the inner hole for polishing by the movement of the yarn. On the one hand, this patent drives the abrasive into the inner hole of the workpiece for polishing by the yarn passing through the workpiece. The direction of the yarn in the inner hole is parallel to the inner hole axis, making it difficult to polish variable-diameter inner holes. On the other hand, the yarn needs to be wound around tensioning wheels, guide wheels and other structures, which takes a long time to prepare before polishing.

[0008] The Chinese patent CN108555733A discloses a device for fine grinding the inner surface of a medical syringe needle, which uses a bundle of several diamond abrasive wires as a polishing rope. The centrifugal force generated by rotation causes the abrasive wire bundle to spread into several parallel abrasive wires in the inner hole for polishing. This patent is specifically designed for polishing the inner surface of a medical syringe needle, and several diamond abrasive wires need to be passed through the workpiece and bundled at both ends, which takes a long time to prepare. For polishing of variable-diameter inner holes, the polishing effect of the large-diameter part is poor due to the small-diameter size, and even cannot be polished.

[0009] The above patents and other elongated tube inner surface polishing devices are mainly for uniform-diameter inner holes or larger-diameter inner holes, and cannot meet the polishing requirements of small-diameter variable-diameter elongated holes. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a polishing device and method for small-diameter variable-diameter elongated holes to ensure polishing efficiency and precision. SUMMARY
