Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cross shaft grinding, and specifically to a device for cross shaft grinding. Background Art

[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, construction machinery, and aerospace. Its quality and precision have a crucial 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 day by day, and at the same time, the requirements for its processing precision and surface quality are also getting higher and higher.

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

[0004] Manual grinding depends on the experience and skills of workers. The quality of cross shafts ground by different workers varies greatly, and it is difficult to ensure high and stable precision. When grinding key parts such as the journal and shoulder of the cross shaft, it is very easy to have a situation where the dimensional deviation is too large, affecting the fitting precision between the cross shaft and other components. The patent with the publication number CN113352159A discloses a surface grinding device for cross shaft processing. This patent grinds by moving the grinding sleeve back and forth, with low grinding precision and poor efficiency. At the same time, it cannot automatically adjust the height according to cross shafts of different sizes, the waste generated during grinding cannot be cleaned in time, and the heat generated during grinding will also affect the grinding precision.

[0021] (III) Beneficial effects

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device for grinding a cross shaft, having the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The equipment for cross - shaft grinding has an outer ring slidably connected to the workbench, and an inner ring rotatably connected inside the outer ring. By arranging two fixed clamps and a positioning clamp on the inner side of the inner ring, where the positioning clamp is fixed inside the inner ring and the fixed clamps are vertically connected to move up and down inside the inner ring. First, fix the first journal on the cross - shaft with the positioning clamp. At this time, the journal slides back and forth between the two half - ring clamps in the positioning clamp, and slide the cross - shaft to align with the position of the fixed clamp. Adjust the height of the fixed clamp to clamp the upper and lower two journals. At this time, the journal is rotatably connected between the two half - ring clamps in the fixed clamp. The center point of the cross - shaft after clamping aligns with the rotation center of the inner ring. Then loosen the positioning clamp to rotate the cross - shaft, clamp the journal on one side of the cross - shaft in the chuck, drive the cross - shaft to rotate through the chuck, and grind the journal on the other side with the external turning tool on the grinding part, achieving the purpose of adapting to cross - shafts of different sizes, and the rotation of the chuck makes the grinding accuracy of the journal on the external turning tool higher.

[0024] 2. The equipment for cross - shaft grinding is provided with a spray pipe on the outer side of the inner ring. During the rotation of the inner ring, the spray pipe also rotates, so that the coolant or air flow ejected from the spray pipe can rotate around the journal and spray, improving the cooling and cleaning effects.

[0025] 3. The equipment for cross - shaft grinding is fixed with a push rod on the fixed clamp. The push rod rises and falls with the lifting of the clamp seat, and then the outer end of the push rod is rotatably connected to the nozzle of the spray pipe. When the length of the journal on the cross - shaft from the center of the circle is long, during clamping, it is necessary to slide the fixed clamp outward to adapt to the length of the journal. The outward sliding of the fixed clamp drives the push rod to slide outward, and the outward sliding of the push rod rotates the spraying angle of the nozzle outward, thus automatically adapting to journals of different lengths and making the air flow and coolant in the nozzle accurately sprayed onto the journal.

[0056] Working principle: During positioning, the first journal 51 on the cross shaft 5 is slidably connected inside 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 inside the fixed clamp 321. By aligning the two rotating shafts on the cross shaft 5 with the first axis 91 and the second axis 92 respectively, the center point of the cross shaft 5 is positioned at the rotation center of the inner ring 32. During grinding, the positioning clamp 322 is loosened to enable the cross shaft 5 to rotate 90 degrees around the first axis 91. The clamping member 3 slides on the workbench 1 so that the rotated outer journal 51 is aligned with the clamping hole on the chuck 2 and inserted for fixation. The chuck 2 is started to drive the cross shaft 5 to rotate. At this time, the inner ring 32 is fixed outside the cross shaft 5 and rotates with the cross shaft 5. The fixed clamp 321 always fixes the two journals 51 located on the first axis 91, and the grinding member 4 is slid to the side of one journal 51 facing away from the chuck 2 to grind it.

[0057] In summary, for the device used for cross-axis grinding, the outer ring 31 is slidably connected to the workbench 1, and the inner ring 32 is rotatably connected inside the outer ring 31. By arranging two fixed clamps 321 and a positioning clamp 322 inside the inner ring 32, where the positioning clamp 322 is fixed inside the inner ring 32 and the fixed clamp 321 is connected to the inner ring 32 in a lifting manner. First, the first journal 51 on the cross-axis 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 inside the positioning clamp 322. The cross-axis 5 is slid to the position aligned with the fixed clamp 321, and the height of the fixed clamp 321 is adjusted to clamp the upper and lower journals 51. At this time, the journal 51 is rotatably connected between the two half-ring clamps 302 inside the fixed clamp 321. The center point of the cross-axis 5 after clamping is aligned with the rotation center of the inner ring 32. Then, the positioning clamp 322 is loosened to rotate the cross-axis 5, so that the journal 51 on one side of the cross-axis 5 is clamped inside the chuck 2. The cross-axis 5 is driven to rotate by the chuck 2, and the journal 51 on the other side is ground by the external turning tool on the grinding part 4, achieving the purpose of adapting to cross-axes 5 of different sizes, and the rotation of the chuck 2 makes the grinding accuracy of the journal 51 on the external turning tool higher.

[0058] For the device used for cross-axis grinding, by arranging a nozzle pipe 324 on the outer side of the inner ring 32, the nozzle pipe 324 also rotates during the rotation of the inner ring 32, so that the coolant or air flow ejected from the nozzle pipe 324 can rotate around the journal 51 for spraying, improving the cooling and cleaning effects.

[0059] For the device used for cross-axis grinding, by fixedly arranging a push rod 306 on the fixed clamp 321, the push rod 306 rises and falls with the lifting of the clamp seat 301, and then the outer end of the push rod 306 is rotatably connected to the nozzle 3241 of the nozzle pipe 324. When the length of the journal 51 on the cross-axis 5 from the center of the circle is long, when clamping, the fixed clamp 321 needs to slide outwards to adapt to the length of the journal 51, and the outward sliding of the fixed clamp 321 drives the push rod 306 to slide outwards. The outward sliding of the push rod 306 makes the spraying angle of the nozzle 3241 rotate outwards, so as to automatically adapt to journals 51 of different lengths, and make the air flow and coolant in the nozzle 3241 accurately sprayed onto the journal 51.
