Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, the cross shaft, as a key transmission component, is widely used in universal couplings in many industries such as automobiles, engineering machinery, and aerospace. Its quality and precision have a vital impact on the performance, stability, and service life of the entire transmission system. With the rapid development of modern industry, the demand for cross shafts is increasing, and the requirements for their processing accuracy and surface quality are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] The processing technology of the cross shaft usually includes multiple processes such as forging, turning, and milling, and the grinding process is an indispensable link. At present, in the grinding process of the cross shaft, most companies still use traditional manual grinding or semi-automatic grinding methods.

[0004] Manual grinding depends on the experience and skills of the workers. The quality of the cross shafts polished by different workers varies, and it is difficult to ensure high and stable accuracy. When grinding key parts such as the journal and shoulder of the cross shaft, it is easy to have excessive dimensional deviation, which affects the matching accuracy between the cross shaft and other parts. Patent publication number CN113352159A discloses a surface grinding device for cross shaft processing. The patent uses a grinding sleeve to move back and forth during grinding. The grinding accuracy is low and the efficiency is poor. At the same time, it is also impossible to automatically adjust the height according to different sizes of cross shafts. The waste generated during grinding cannot be cleaned in time, and the heat generated by grinding will also affect the grinding accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the grinding piece 4 is slidably connected in the grinding piece sliding groove 12 on the workbench 1, and the sliding direction of the grinding piece sliding groove 12 is parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping piece 3. The external cylindrical turning tool on the grinding piece 4 is detachably fixed to the turning tool seat by bolts, and the turning tool seat is slidably connected to the grinding piece 4. The sliding of the turning tool seat is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the grinding piece 4. A screw rod is arranged in the grinding piece sliding groove 12, and a screw rod and a guide rail are arranged between the grinding piece 4 and the turning tool seat, and the two ends of the screw rod are driven to rotate by two motors respectively.

[0047] Working principle: During positioning, the first journal 51 on the cross shaft 5 is slidably connected in the positioning clamp 322, and the other two journals 51 on the cross shaft 5 that are perpendicular to the first journal 51 are rotatably connected in the fixing clamp 321. The center point of the cross shaft 5 is positioned at the rotation center of the inner ring 32 by aligning the two rotating axes on the cross shaft 5 with the first axis 91 and the second axis 92 respectively. During grinding, the positioning clamp 322 is released to rotate the cross shaft 5 90 degrees around the first axis 91. The clamp 3 slides on the workbench 1 so that the journal 51 rotated to the outside is aligned with the clamping hole on the chuck 2 and inserted to complete the fixation. The chuck 2 is started to drive the cross shaft 5 to rotate. At this time, the inner ring 32 is fixed on the outside of the cross shaft 5 and rotates with the rotation of the cross shaft 5. The fixing clamp 321 always fixes the two journals 51 on the first axis 91, and grinds the side of a journal 51 facing away from the chuck 2 by sliding the grinding piece 4.

[0048] In summary, in the equipment for grinding the cross shaft, the outer ring 31 is slidably connected to the workbench 1, and the inner ring 32 is rotatably connected inside the outer ring 31. Two fixing clamps 321 and a positioning clamp 322 are arranged on the inner side of the inner ring 32, wherein the positioning clamp 322 is fixed inside the inner ring 32, and the fixing clamp 321 is lifted and connected inside the inner ring 32. First, the first journal 51 on the cross shaft 5 is fixed by the positioning clamp 322. At this time, the journal 51 slides back and forth between the two half-ring clamps 302 in the positioning clamp 322, and the cross shaft 5 is slid to the position aligned with the fixing clamp 321, and the height of the fixing clamp 321 is adjusted. The fixing clamp 321 clamps the upper and lower journals 51. At this time, the journal 51 is rotated and connected between the two half-ring clamps 302 in the fixing clamp 321. The center point of the cross shaft 5 after clamping is aligned with the rotation center of the inner ring 32. Then the positioning clamp 322 is released to rotate the cross shaft 5, so that the journal 51 on one side of the cross shaft 5 is clamped in the chuck 2. The cross shaft 5 is driven to rotate by the chuck 2, and the journal 51 on the other side is ground by the external cylindrical turning tool on the grinding piece 4, thereby achieving the purpose of adapting to cross shafts 5 of different sizes. In addition, the rotation of the chuck 2 makes the grinding accuracy of the journal 51 on the external cylindrical turning tool higher.

[0049] The cross-shaft grinding device has a nozzle 324 disposed on the outer side of the inner ring 32. The nozzle 324 rotates during the rotation of the inner ring 32, so that the coolant or airflow sprayed from the nozzle 324 can rotate and spray around the journal 51, thereby improving the cooling and cleaning effects.

[0050] The equipment for grinding a cross shaft comprises a push rod 306 fixedly arranged on a fixing clamp 321, and the push rod 306 rises and falls with the rise and fall of a clamp seat 301, and then the outer end of the push rod 306 is rotated to be connected to a nozzle 3241 of a nozzle 324. When the distance between a journal 51 on a cross shaft 5 and a center of a circle is long, the fixing clamp 321 needs to be slid outward to adapt to the length of the journal 51 during clamping, and the outward sliding of the fixing clamp 321 drives the push rod 306 to slide outward, and the outward sliding of the push rod 306 causes the spray angle of the nozzle 3241 to rotate outward, thereby automatically adapting to journals 51 of different lengths, so that the airflow and coolant in the nozzle 3241 are accurately sprayed onto the journal 51.
