Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fine grinding, and in particular to an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for fine grinding of a ball screw support bearing. Background Art
[0002] As a core component in mechanical transmission, the ball screw is an ideal device for converting rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa. Its basic structure consists of a screw, nut, ball recirculation system, and a reversing mechanism. By converting the sliding friction of a traditional trapezoidal lead screw into rolling friction, it significantly improves transmission efficiency, motion accuracy, and reversibility. These unique mechanical properties have led to its widespread application in high-precision applications such as CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and aerospace equipment.
[0003] In the manufacturing process of ball screw support bearings, the fine grinding of the bearing rings is a critical step in ensuring the accuracy of the final product. This process eliminates macroscopic defects (such as surface waviness and roundness error) generated during the rough grinding stage and strictly controls the depth of subsurface damage. Existing technologies generally use a clamping jaw loading and unloading mechanism, which relies on the clamping force and static friction of the workpiece surface to achieve positioning. However, when faced with annular bearing rings, this clamping method has significant drawbacks: on the one hand, the geometric center of the annular workpiece is difficult to accurately locate, which can easily lead to eccentric clamping; on the other hand, the friction coefficient is reduced in an environment lubricated by grinding fluid, significantly increasing the risk of the workpiece slipping. According to industry statistics, the processing scrap rate caused by such clamping failures can reach 3%-5%, and there is a safety hazard of damaging precision grinding equipment.
[0004] In response to the above technical bottlenecks, the present invention proposes a new automatic loading and unloading mechanism for ball screw support bearing fine grinding. Through an innovative positioning and clamping solution, it effectively solves the problems of insufficient positioning accuracy and the risk of workpiece falling in traditional clamping methods.

A displacement sensor for detecting the downward stroke of the feeding mechanism 9 is also installed inside the limiting bracket 10. A horizontally movable positioning component 95 is provided inside the feeding mechanism 9. The top of the feeding mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder 8, and the bottom of the feeding mechanism 9 is inserted into the inside of the feeding guide groove 3.

The unloading mechanism 4 is installed between the top of the unloading conveyor belt assembly 5 and the bottom of the feeding mechanism 9.
[0034] In the present invention, a feeding mechanism 7 and a unloading mechanism 4 connected to the feeding mechanism 9 are provided. The bearing ring is in a closed state during the loading and unloading process of fine grinding, and is transferred laterally by the pushing assembly 75 and the positioning assembly 95. Among them, when the bearing ring moves horizontally on the feeding conveyor belt assembly 6 to the side of the feeding mechanism 7, it is transferred laterally to the feeding mechanism 7. The bearing ring is rolled in the feeding mechanism 7 and transported to the feeding side position of the feeding mechanism 9, and is pushed laterally into the feeding mechanism 9 by the pushing assembly 75. At this time, the bearing ring is fixed on the positioning assembly 95. Subsequently, the feeding cylinder 8 drives the feeding mechanism 9 to move downward along the direction of the limiting bracket 10. A displacement sensor for detecting the downward pressure stroke of the feeding mechanism 9 is also installed inside the limiting bracket 10 to ensure that the contact pressure between the fine grinding wheel 12 and the bearing ring is constant, and the bottom end of the feeding mechanism 9 is inserted into the feeding guide groove. 3, the bottom end of the feeding mechanism 9 blocks the opening of the feeding guide groove 3, and then the rotating motor 11 moves horizontally, and the outer end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 11 is inserted into one end of the positioning component 95, fixes the bearing ring and drives the bearing ring to rotate, and cooperates with the fine grinding wheel 12, and the fine grinding wheel 12 to effectively fine grind the bearing ring.

There is no clamping and hanging state during the movement of the bearing ring, which effectively avoids the risk of the bearing ring falling and being damaged, and the workpiece transfer stroke is short, which effectively reduces the waiting time for loading and unloading the workpiece, and improves the work efficiency of loading and unloading during the bearing fine grinding process.
[0035] As a further solution in the present invention, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a feeding guide groove 71, an oblique feeding groove 72 arranged at the upper end of the feeding guide groove 71, and a waiting groove 73 arranged at the lower end of the feeding guide groove 71. The end of the waiting groove 73 is provided with a guide assembly 74 corresponding to the inlet of the feeding mechanism 9, and the pushing assembly 75 is installed at the outer end position of the guide assembly 74. The feeding conveyor belt assembly 6 also includes a photoelectric sensor arranged at the entrance of the feeding guide groove 71, which detects the bearing ring in place signal and then triggers the pushing action of the feeding cylinder. In the present invention, the bearing ring is pushed from the feeding conveyor belt assembly 6 to the oblique feeding groove 72, and is converted into a horizontal rolling conveyance in the oblique feeding groove 72. After being conveyed by the feeding guide groove 71, it is horizontally arranged in the waiting groove 73. The bearing ring at the outermost end enters the guide assembly 74, and the pushing assembly 75 pushes it horizontally to the feeding mechanism 9, and cooperates with the positioning assembly 95 to complete the workpiece transfer operation.
[0036] As a further solution in the present invention, the feed conveyor belt assembly 6 includes a feed conveyor belt, and a feed baffle fixedly installed on the feed conveyor belt, and the side of the feed baffle corresponds to the oblique feed trough 72, and the other side of the feed baffle is installed with a feed cylinder, and the output end of the feed cylinder is installed with a feed push plate. In the present invention, the workpiece moves horizontally on the feed conveyor belt, stops when encountering the feed baffle, and then the feed cylinder drives the feed push plate to move horizontally, and the workpiece is pushed into the oblique feed trough 72, and slides along the inner wall of the oblique feed trough 72 to the feed guide groove 71 and rolls and transfers.
[0037] As a further solution in the present invention, the material guide assembly 74 includes a material guide cylinder 741 connecting the pushing assembly 75 and the positioning assembly 95, and a closing plate 742 slidably installed on the side of the material guide cylinder 741. The side of the material waiting trough 73 is installed with a closing cylinder 743 that drives the closing plate 742 to move back and forth. In the present invention, when the bearing ring moves to the inside of the material guide cylinder 741, the two sides of the bearing ring are respectively limited by the closing plate 742 and the pushing assembly 75 and are in an upright state. Then, the pushing assembly 75 approaches the bearing ring and fixes it. Then, the closing plate 742 moves backward under the action of the closing cylinder 743. At this time, the pushing assembly 75 can drive the bearing ring to move toward the positioning assembly 95.
[0038] As a further solution in the present invention, the pushing assembly 75 includes an annular bracket 752 fixedly mounted on the outer end of the guide cylinder 741, and a pushing cylinder 751 fixedly mounted on the annular bracket 752. The pushing assembly 75 also includes a pressure relay for controlling the pushing cylinder 751. The output end of the pushing cylinder 751 is fixedly mounted with a pushing core rod 753. The pushing assembly 75 also includes a pushing ring 754 slidably mounted inside the guide cylinder 741. The pushing core rod 753 is slidably connected to the pushing ring 754, and a reset spring is installed between the pushing ring 754 and the annular bracket 752. In the present invention, the pushing ring 754 is pushed in the initial state. The core rod 753 is flush with the outer surface of the push ring 754, and the compressed return spring is in a contracted state. When pushing, the push cylinder 751 drives the push core rod 753 to move forward. At this time, the other side of the bearing ring is blocked by the closing plate 742, and the push core rod 753 is inserted into the inner side of the bearing ring to fix it. Then the closing plate 742 is opened, and the push ring 754 is used to push the bearing ring to the positioning assembly 95 until the other side of the bearing ring is set on the outer position of the positioning assembly 95, completing the positioning transfer operation of the bearing ring. Afterwards, the push cylinder 751 drives the push core rod 753 and the push ring 754 to reset.
[0039] As a further solution in the present invention, an annular groove 755 is provided on the inner side of the push ring 754, and a core rod end cover 756 is slidably installed inside the annular groove 755. The core rod end cover 756 is fixedly connected to the push core rod 753. The outer walls of the push core rod 753 and the core rod end cover 756 are provided with an annular array of mounting grooves 757, and a V-shaped shaft positioning member 758 is rotatably installed inside the mounting groove 757. A spring is installed between the shaft positioning member 758 and the mounting groove 757. 759. In the present invention, one end of the axial positioning member 758 generates an outward thrust under the action of the spring 759. After one end of the pushing core rod 753 is inserted into the interior of the bearing ring, the axial positioning member 758 then moves outward inside the bearing ring, and the core rod end cover 756 continues to move toward the innermost end of the annular groove 755 until the end of the core rod end cover 756 located inside the annular groove 755 is subjected to downward pressure. At this time, the other end of the axial positioning member 758 is located at the inner ring of the bearing ring and expands outward to When the maximum pressure is applied, the annularly distributed axial positioning member 758 can lift the bearing ring away from the guide cylinder 741. At this time, the positioning component 95, the bearing ring, the push core rod 753 and the push ring 754 are at the same axial height. When the bearing ring is pushed toward the positioning component 95, the outer wall thereof is prevented from contacting and generating friction with the guide cylinder 741. When the other end of the bearing ring is sleeved on the outside of the positioning component 95, the push core rod 753 and the core rod end cover 756 slide backward inside the push ring 754, and the pusher The ring 754 maintains an outward thrust under the action of the return spring, thereby pushing the axial positioning member 758 back to the installation groove 757 until the core rod end cover 756 moves to the outermost end of the annular groove 755 and drives the pushing ring 754 to retreat synchronously. At this time, the pushing core rod 753 is flush with the outer surface of the pushing ring 754, so that the outer ring of the bearing ring is in a suspended state when the pushing assembly 75 moves toward the positioning assembly 95, avoiding friction damage to the surface of the bearing ring and improving the stability of the bearing ring during the transfer process.

In the present invention, when the feeding mechanism 9 is in the highest position, the positioning assembly 95 is installed at the axial position of the feeding cavity 92. The component 95 and the pushing component 75 are coaxially arranged, and the positioning component 95 drives the bearing ring to move toward the inside of the fine grinding box 2. The fine grinding wheel 12 can be inserted into the feeding cavity 92 to fine-grind the bearing ring outside the positioning component 95. At the same time, grinding fluid is sprayed from the dispersion hole 93 to cool and fine-grind the outside of the bearing ring. When the fine grinding is completed, the bearing ring and the inside of the feeding cavity 92 are blown clean by air until the feeding mechanism 9 moves to the highest position to perform the unloading action, thereby reducing the loss and pollution of the grinding fluid.
[0041] As a further solution in the present invention, the positioning assembly 95 includes a positioning cylinder 951 installed on the outside of the feeding bracket 91, and a return ring 956 installed on the inner wall of the feeding chamber 92.

When the positioning assembly 95 drives the bearing ring to move into the fine grinding box 2, the output shaft of the rotating motor 11 approaches the positioning assembly 95, and the extrusion ring pushes the inner wall of the positioning claw 955 to generate outward expansion pressure, completing the fine grinding preparation operation, and driving the bearing ring to rotate during the fine grinding process, thereby improving the stability of the bearing ring during the fine grinding process. After the fine grinding is completed, the rotating motor 11 is separated from the positioning assembly 95, and when the positioning assembly 95 moves to the highest position, the positioning core rod 953 continues to move backward, and the bearing ring is pushed away by the stripping ring 956, and the bearing ring then falls into the unloading mechanism 4 to complete the unloading operation.
[0042] As a further solution in the present invention, the unloading mechanism 4 includes a support shaft 43 fixedly installed at a position below the limit bracket 10, and a U-shaped discharge chute 41 fixedly installed above the unloading conveyor belt assembly 5.

When it moves to the outermost end, it is stopped by the unloading baffle, and then pushed away from the unloading conveyor belt by the unloading cylinder and the unloading push plate and transferred to the next process.
[0044] During use, when the bearing ring moves horizontally on the feed conveyor belt assembly 6 to the side of the feed mechanism 7, it is transferred laterally to the feed mechanism 7. The bearing ring is rolled in the feed mechanism 7 and transported to the feed side position of the feed mechanism 9. It is pushed laterally into the feed mechanism 9 by the pushing assembly 75.
