[0032] See also Figure 7 As shown, the support assembly includes a fixed frame 14, a sliding frame 141, a connecting plate 1411, a support roller 142, an L-shaped plate 143, a screw rod 144 and a rotating assembly. The fixed frame 14 is fixedly connected between the top of the base 1 and the inner bottom of the left and right L-shaped seats 2. The sliding frames 141 on the fixed frame 14 are symmetrically and slidingly connected. The sliding frames 141 on the left and right sides are inclined. The upper parts of the sliding frames 141 on the left and right sides are rotatably connected to the support rollers 142, and the support rollers 142 can support and guide the sphere. The upper parts of the sliding frames 141 on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the connecting plates 1411. The upper part of the front side of the fixed frame 14 is symmetrically fixed with the L-shaped plates 143. The upper parts of the L-shaped plates 143 on the left and right sides and the fixed frame 14 are rotatably connected with screw rods 144. The screw rods 144 and the front sides of the connecting plates 1411 Threaded connection, a rotating assembly is provided between the screw rod 144 and the base 1, and when the rotating assembly is in operation, the rotating assembly can drive the screw rod 144 to rotate; the rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 145, a bevel gear 146, a stepping motor 147 and a bevel gear disc 148. The top front side of the base 1 is symmetrically rotated with the rotating shaft 145 on the left and right sides. The rotating shaft 145 is tilted, and the rotating shaft 145 and the screw rod 144 are in a parallel state. The left and right rotating shafts 145 are respectively connected to the lower parts of the left and right screw rods 144 through a synchronous belt assembly. The top ends of the left and right rotating shafts 145 are fixedly covered with bevel gears 146, and a stepping motor 147 is vertically installed on the top front side of the base 1. A bevel gear disc 148 is fixedly covered on the output shaft of the stepping motor 147, and the bevel gear disc 148 is engaged with the bevel gears 146 on the left and right sides.

[0033] First, start the stepper motor 147 to rotate forward and backward alternately. The stepper motor 147 drives the bevel gear disk 148 to rotate forward and backward alternately. The bevel gear disk 148 drives the bevel gears 146 on both the left and right sides to rotate forward and backward alternately. The bevel gears 146 drive the rotating shaft 145 to rotate forward and backward alternately. The rotating shaft 145 drives the lead screw 144 to rotate forward and backward alternately through the synchronous belt assembly. The lead screw 144 drives the connecting plate 1411 to move obliquely. The connecting plate 1411 drives the sliding frame 141 to move obliquely. The sliding frame 141 drives the support roller 142 to move obliquely. When the support roller 142 moves obliquely to a suitable position for supporting the sphere, turn off the stepper motor 147. The bevel gear disk 148 stops driving the bevel gear 146 to rotate. The sliding frame 141 stops driving the support roller 142 to move obliquely. Then the sphere can be placed between the support rollers 142 on both the left and right sides. At this time, the central hole of the sphere corresponds exactly to the hollow tube 132. Then start the electric skateboard 13. The forward movement of the electric skateboard 13 drives the electric turntable 131 to move forward. The forward movement of the electric turntable 131 drives the hollow tube 132 to move forward. The forward movement of the hollow tube 132 drives the clamping plate 135 to move forward into the central hole of the sphere. Turn off the electric skateboard 13. The clamping plate 135 stops moving forward. Then start the cylinder 137. The shortening of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 137 drives the driving plate 136 to move backward. The backward movement of the driving plate 136 drives the movable ring 133 to move backward. The backward movement of the movable ring 133 drives the clamping plate 135 to swing outward through the connecting rod 134. When the clamping plate 135 swings outward and contacts the inner wall of the sphere, the clamping plate 135 clamps and fixes the sphere. Turn off the cylinder 137. The driving plate 136 stops driving the movable ring 133 to move backward. Then start the electric lifting frame 3 to move downward, driving the guide roller 4 to move downward. The downward movement of the guide roller 4 drives the grinding belt 5 to move downward. At the same time, the downward movement of the electric lifting frame 3 also drives the guide frame 7 to move downward. The downward movement of the guide frame 7 drives the movable frame 9 and the electric push rod 12 to move downward. The movable frame 9 drives the tensioning roller 10 to move downward. The tensioning roller 10 moves downward synchronously with the grinding belt 5. The electric push rod 12 drives the loop-shaped plate 122 to move downward through the guide seat 121. The loop-shaped plate 122 drives the pressing roller 123 to move downward. The pressing roller 123 moves downward synchronously with the grinding belt 5. When the grinding belt 5 moves downward and contacts the surface of the sphere, the position where the grinding belt 5 contacts the sphere stops moving downward. The guide roller 4 continues to move downward, driving the part of the grinding belt 5 that does not contact the sphere to move downward, so that the grinding belt 5 gradually presses on the hemispherical surface of the sphere. At the same time, due to the contact between the grinding belt 5 and the hemispherical surface of the sphere, the guide roller 4 continues to move downward to tighten the upper part of the grinding belt 5. The tightened grinding belt 5 drives the tensioning roller 10 to move upward. The upward movement of the tensioning roller 10 drives the movable frame 9 to move upward. The connecting spring 11 is compressed. Turn off the electric lifting frame 3. The guide roller 4 stops driving the grinding belt 5 to continue moving downward. Then the driving frame 125 can be twisted to rotate. The driving frame 125 drives the screw 124 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 124 drives the loop-shaped plates 122 on both the front and back sides to move inward.The return plate 122 drives the front and rear pressing rollers 123 to move inward. When the pressing rollers 123 move inward to a position suitable for pressing the edge of the grinding belt 5 against the surface of the sphere, the twisting drive frame 125 is stopped, and the screw 124 stops driving the return plate 122 to move. The return plate 122 drives the pressing rollers 123 to move inward, and then the electric push rod 12 is started. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 12 extends and drives the guide seat 121 to move downward. The guide seat 121 drives the return plate 122 to move downward. The return plate 122 drives the pressing rollers 123 to move downward. The pressing rollers 123 move downward to press the lower edge of the grinding belt 5 against the surface of the sphere, which makes the grinding belt 5 more fully contact the hemispherical surface of the sphere, and the electric push rod is closed. 12, the drive motor 6 can be started, and the drive motor 6 drives the guide roller 4 on the upper right side to rotate through the synchronous belt assembly. The guide roller 4 on the upper right side drives the grinding belt 5 to rotate forward through the remaining guide rollers 4. The grinding belt 5 rotates forward to grind the surface of the sphere. Since the grinding belt 5 is in contact with the hemispherical surface of the sphere, the grinding belt 5 can grind a larger area of the surface of the sphere. Then the electric turntable 131 is started to rotate, and the electric turntable 131 drives the hollow tube 132 to rotate. The hollow tube 132 drives the clamping plate 135 to rotate. The rotation of the clamping plate 135 drives the sphere to rotate. The rotation of the sphere causes the surface to be fully polished by the grinding belt 5. When the grinding of the sphere surface is completed, the electric turntable 131 is turned off, and the clamping plate 135 stops driving the sphere The body rotates, and then the drive motor 6 is turned off. The guide roller 4 stops driving the grinding belt 5 to rotate, and then the electric push rod 12 is started to drive the guide seat 121 to move upward. The guide seat 121 drives the return plate 122 to move upward. The return plate 122 drives the guide roller 4 to move upward and reset and disengage from the edge of the grinding belt 5. The electric push rod 12 is turned off, and then the electric lifting frame 3 is started to move upward and drive the grinding belt 5 to move upward and reset through the guide roller 4. The grinding belt 5 is reset and disengaged from the ball. Due to the action of the connecting spring 11, the movable frame 9 moves downward and drives the pressure roller 123 to move downward. The pressure roller 123 applies pressure to the grinding belt 5, so that the grinding belt 5 is tightened. The electric lifting frame 3 is turned off, and the cylinder 137 is started to drive the driving The plate 136 moves forward and resets, and the driving plate 136 drives the movable ring 133 to move forward. The movable ring 133 drives the clamping plate 135 to swing inward and reset through the connecting rod 134. The clamping plate 135 resets and disengages from the inner wall of the sphere. The electric slide 13 is then started to move backward and drive the electric turntable 131 to move backward and reset. The electric turntable 131 drives the clamping plate 135 to move backward and reset through the hollow tube 132. The clamping plate 135 resets and is outside the sphere. The sphere with polished surface can be removed from the support roller 142. This process is repeated to continuously polish the surface of the sphere. Moreover, since the polishing belt 5 is in contact with the hemispherical surface of the sphere, the polishing area is larger, and there is no need for continuous movement, thereby improving the polishing efficiency.

[0034] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the outer surface polishing device for ball valve ball production also includes a positioning assembly installed on the base 1, the positioning assembly includes a support frame 15, a positioning plate 151, a guide rod 152, a rack 153, a spur gear 154 and a servo motor 155. The support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the base 1, and the guide rod 152 is fixedly connected to the upper inner part of the support frame 15. The positioning plate 151 is symmetrically slidably mounted on the guide rod 152. The positioning plate 151 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support frame 15. When the positioning plate 151 moves inward and contacts the ball, the positioning plate 151 can position the front and rear sides of the ball. The bottom of the front and rear positioning plates 151 are fixedly connected to the racks 153. The front and rear racks 153 are staggered. A servo motor 155 is vertically installed in the middle of the support frame 15. A spur gear 154 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 155, and the spur gear 154 is meshed with the front and rear racks 153.

[0035] When the ball is placed between the left and right support rollers 142, the ball is between the front and rear positioning plates 151, and the servo motor 155 is started to drive the spur gear 154 to rotate forward. The spur gear 154 rotates forward to drive the front and rear racks 153 to move inward. The racks 153 drive the front and rear positioning plates 151 to move inward. When the front and rear positioning plates 151 move inward and contact the ball, the front and rear positioning plates 151 center the ball so that the ball is aligned with the grinding belt 5. Then, the servo motor 155 is started again to drive the spur gear 154 to rotate backward. The spur gear 154 rotates backward to drive the front and rear racks 153 to move outward and reset. The racks 153 drive the front and rear positioning plates 151 to move outward and reset. The positioning plates 151 reset and disengage from the ball. The servo motor 155 is turned off, and the ball is clamped and fixed to complete the surface grinding. In this way, the deviation of the front and rear position of the ball can be prevented from affecting the precise contact with the grinding belt 5, thereby ensuring that the ball is accurately polished by the grinding belt 5.

[0036] See also Figure 10 As shown, the outer surface grinding device for ball valve ball production also includes a mounting plate 16 and a brush 17. The mounting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the electric lifting frame 3, and the brush 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting plate 16. The brush 17 is in contact with the outer side of the grinding belt 5. When the grinding belt 5 rotates, the brush 17 can remove the debris attached to the grinding belt 5.

[0037] As the grinding belt 5 rotates to grind the surface of the sphere, some debris may adhere to the grinding belt 5. The brush 17 can remove the debris from the grinding belt 5, and the grinding belt 5 can continue to grind the surface of the sphere after the debris is removed. This prevents the grinding belt 5 from being attached to debris and affecting subsequent use, thereby improving the use effect of the grinding belt 5.

[0038] The above has introduced this application in detail. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of this application; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to this application.
