[0020] See also Figure 1-7 The working principle of the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: the cast cross-axis workpiece is placed one by one according to the hole position of the grinding hole 4 through a screening machine or manual methods, and the driving gear 25 is driven to rotate by the grinding motor 17, and then the outer gear ring 24 is driven to rotate together with the grinding turntable 3 through the gear transmission, and then the cross-axis workpiece in the grinding hole 4 is limitedly transported to the double-disc grinding head 2, and the upper and lower surfaces of the cross-axis workpiece are polished simultaneously by the upper and lower grinding discs of the double-disc grinding head 2, thereby achieving simultaneous double-sided grinding.
[0021] The polished workpiece moves to the tail end of the grinding washer 5 under the rotation of the grinding turntable 3, falls through the discharge window 19, and falls into the receiving chute 6. Since the receiving chute 6 is an inclined chute, the cross shaft slides down automatically. If a corner of the cross shaft that falls slightly off the position will be placed on the outer edge of the receiving chute 6, thereby tilting up. During the sliding process, if one end of the cross shaft tilts up, it will be smoothly pressed down and adjusted to enter the conveying chute 7 when passing through the pressing sheet 9. Please refer to Figure 6 Since the width of the conveying slideway 7 is designed to be exactly equal to the widest part between the adjacent axes of the cross shaft, the tilted axis can only slide down at a set angle when it falls and the horizontal axis enters the conveying slideway 7, thereby limiting the position of the cross shaft during the sliding process, so that the cross shaft can smoothly and unbiasedly enter the conveying hole 10; at the same time, the conveying slideway 7 also has an inclination angle, which cooperates with the vibration of the vibrator 21 to make the cross shaft slide smoothly and quickly. Through the connection between the material receiving slideway 6 and the conveying slideway 7 and the adjustment and limitation of the cross shaft during the conveying process, the cross shaft can smoothly and automatically be transported from the grinding surface to the cutting edge, achieving smooth and automatic connection.
[0022] The cross shaft entering the conveying slide 7 finally enters the conveying hole 10 and then smoothly falls into the connecting hole 15 connected thereto. By connecting the push cylinder 29, the push rod 30 drives the push plate 14 to extend, and then the cross shaft located in the connecting hole 15 is smoothly sent to the trimming mold 12. Since the cross shafts cast in the upper and lower molds will have burrs except in the middle seam, and the size of the hole of the trimming mold 12 is smaller than the cross shaft with burrs, the cross shaft will fall and stay in the trimming mold 12, and then the punching head 16 is driven by the punching cylinder 32 to move down quickly into the trimming mold 12, and then the burrs of the cross shaft are punched and removed, realizing automatic edge removal, and then it falls into the discharge slide 27 and is transported out.
[0023] Then, the automatic transportation of the cross shaft is realized through the grinding part, the trimming part and the connecting part. The double-sided grinding and punching and trimming are integrated into an automated processing process. The overall equipment is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the processing efficiency and quality.
[0024] Among them, the grinding gasket 5 is located at the bottom of the grinding turntable 3 outside the double-disk grinding head 2 to support the cross shaft in the grinding hole 4 to prevent it from falling; at the same time, the design of the grinding hole 4 with a larger top and a smaller bottom can also make it easy for the cross shaft to enter and stay in a suitable position during the grinding process, avoiding bumping when just entering the double-disk grinding head 2 and being processed at the same time. At the same time, the grinding hole 4 with a shape matching that of the cross shaft can prevent the cross shaft from rotating during the grinding process.
