Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of grinding machine, in particular to an automatic grinding machine with replaceable wheel structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Automatic grinding machine is the core equipment for realizing surface forming and precision control of metal parts in mechanical manufacturing, and is widely used in the fields of automobile, aerospace, etc. In actual processing, in order to adapt to different polishing needs, multiple grinding wheels are often required to be replaced for work. Due to the differences in structure and granularity, the friction intensity between different grinding wheels and workpieces is different, and the heat production is also significantly different: when some grinding wheels are polished, the material removal amount is large and the friction is intense, and the heat production is high, so high-flow cooling liquid is needed to cool down in time to avoid workpiece deformation and grinding wheel wear; when some grinding wheels are polished, the focus is on fine processing, and the heat production is low, and excessive cooling liquid will cause waste and increase the cost of waste liquid treatment.

[0003] In the industry, most automatic grinding machines have manual assistance or semi-automatic wheel replacement capability to switch different grinding wheels according to processing needs. The cooling system is mainly divided into two types: one is the fixed flow scheme, which sets a single cooling liquid flow according to the common working condition of the grinding machine, and maintains the same flow after replacing different grinding wheels; the other is the manual adjustment scheme, which judges the cooling needs of the current grinding wheel by experience after replacing the grinding wheel, and manually adjusts the cooling liquid flow.

[0004] In the prior art, the grinding wheel replacement and cooling adjustment lack precise correlation, and there are obvious pain points. First, the cooling and heat production needs of the grinding wheel are not synchronized: after replacing the grinding wheel, manual adjustment or sensor detection is needed to adjust the flow, manual adjustment is easily affected by experience and operation rhythm, and there is a lag or flow deviation; sensor detection is easily disturbed by metal debris and cooling liquid splashing generated during polishing, resulting in adjustment failure and inability to adapt to the heat production difference of different grinding wheels. Second, the adjustment convenience and reliability are insufficient: manual adjustment increases the workload of the operator, especially when multiple grinding wheels are frequently replaced, which will greatly reduce the production efficiency. The heat production needs of the current grinding wheel cannot be automatically matched, which makes it difficult to guarantee the cooling effect of high heat production grinding wheel and avoid the waste of cooling liquid for low heat production grinding wheel.

[0045] In use, the XYZ three-axis linkage processing bed 2 on the top of the base 1 can drive the Z-axis sliding table to drive the U-shaped support 3 and the protective cover 4 to complete the position adjustment in the three-dimensional space, so that the polishing wheels 5 on the outer periphery of the protective cover 4 are accurately positioned for the workpiece to be processed. At this time, the three polishing wheels 5 on the outer periphery of the protective cover 4 correspond to three processing conditions of rough machining, finishing and super-fine machining, respectively. If it is necessary to switch the polishing wheels 5 according to the processing requirements of the workpiece, the wheel changing assembly inside the protective cover 4 is started to work.

[0046] Firstly, the double-shaft motor 18 is started, and one output end thereof is fixedly connected with the sun gear 17 through the protective cover 4 to drive the sun gear 17 to rotate inside the fixed gear ring 16. Since the sun gear 17 is synchronously engaged with the three planetary gears 19, and the planetary gears 19 are engaged with the fixed gear ring 16, under the fixed limiting action of the fixed gear ring 16, the planetary gears 19 revolve around the sun gear 17 and also rotate around the transmission shaft 21 through the first ball bearing 20, so that the polishing wheels 5 on the shaft ends of the transmission shaft 21 rotate with the protective cover 4 as the center, and the position conversion of the polishing wheels 5 used in the three different processing conditions of rough machining, finishing and super-fine machining is realized.

[0047] At the same time, in the conversion process, the second ball bearing 29 in the middle section of the transmission shaft 21 is fixedly connected with the annular baffle 28, and the annular baffle 28 synchronously rotates inside the annular sliding groove 27 on the opposite side of each protective cover 4, so that the annular baffle 28 effectively blocks the debris from entering the interior of the protective cover 4 to affect the operation of the internal structure.

[0050] The adjusting assembly further comprises an adjusting piston 36 movably inserted into the adjusting slide pipe 6, one end of the adjusting slide pipe 6 is rotatably connected with a third bevel gear 37, one end of the adjusting piston 36 is rotatably connected with an adjusting screw 38, one end of the adjusting screw 38 penetrates through the third bevel gear 37 and is threadedly connected with the third bevel gear 37, the other output end of the double-shaft motor 18 is fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 39, the bottom of the connecting shaft 39 is sleeved with a sleeve rod 40, the bottom of the sleeve rod 40 is fixedly connected with a fourth bevel gear 41, the fourth bevel gear 41 is perpendicularly engaged with the third bevel gear 37, when the fourth bevel gear 41 rotates with the sleeve rod 40, the third bevel gear 37 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the adjusting screw 38 threadedly connected with the third bevel gear 37 to move axially, and pushing the adjusting piston 36 to slide along the adjusting slide pipe 6;

[0051] The adjusting assembly further comprises a first guide sliding groove 42 symmetrically formed in the inner side of the sleeve rod 40, the bottom of the connecting shaft 39 is fixedly connected with a first guide sliding block 43, and the first guide sliding block 43 is slidingly connected in the interior of the first guide sliding groove 42;

[0052] The adjusting assembly further comprises a second guide sliding groove 44 symmetrically formed in the inner side of the adjusting slide pipe 6, one end of the adjusting piston 36 is fixedly connected with a second guide sliding block 45, and the second guide sliding block 45 is slidingly connected in the interior of the second guide sliding groove 44;

[0053] The outer side of one of the protective covers 4 is fixedly connected with a visual monitoring module 46, the detection end of the visual monitoring module 46 faces the contact end of the polishing wheel 5 and the workpiece, one end of the base 1 is fixedly connected with a controller 47, the controller 47 is electrically connected with the visual monitoring module 46, and is used to receive the workpiece contact state signal of the polishing wheel 5 fed back by the visual monitoring module 46, thereby controlling the action of the wheel changing assembly or the adjusting assembly;

[0054] And, the inside of the base 1 is provided with a recycling bin 48, and the top of the base 1 is symmetrically provided with a recycling port 49 in communication with the recycling bin 48, and the inside of the recycling port 49 is fixedly connected with a filter screen 50.

[0055] In use, when the wheel switching assembly completes the switching of the grinding wheel 5, the adjusting assembly is started simultaneously to adapt to the cooling liquid demand of the current grinding wheel 5. First, the second motor 32 is started by the controller 47, the second motor 32 drives the second worm 30 to rotate, the second worm 30 is engaged with the second worm gear 31, the second worm gear 31 drives the eccentric fixed circular push plate 33 to rotate, the outer periphery of the circular push plate 33 is in rolling contact with the abutting roller 34, and when the push plate rotates, the abutting roller 34 is pushed by the outer periphery, and the elastic return force of the return spring 35 is matched to convert the rotary motion of the circular push plate 33 into the linear reciprocating motion of the double-headed piston rod 7;

[0056] At the same time, one end of the double-headed piston rod 7 slides in the adjusting slide pipe 6, and the other end does piston motion in the piston pipe 8. When the double-headed piston rod 7 moves towards the piston pipe 8, the pressure in the piston pipe 8 decreases, the second one-way valve 12 opens, and the cooling liquid in the water tank 13 is sucked into the piston pipe 8 through the water suction pipe 11. When the double-headed piston rod 7 moves towards the adjusting slide pipe 6, the pressure in the piston pipe 8 increases, the first one-way valve 10 opens, and the cooling liquid is transported to the spray head 15 through the water outlet 9 and the water supply pipe 14, and the cooling liquid is sprayed to cool the grinding area;

[0057] At the same time, when the wheel switching assembly switches the grinding wheel 5, the other output end of the double-shaft motor 18 drives the connecting shaft 39 to rotate, the first guide sliding block 43 at the bottom of the connecting shaft 39 slides in the first guide sliding groove 42 of the sleeve rod 40, to ensure that the connecting shaft 39 and the sleeve rod 40 rotate synchronously and do not slip relative to each other, and the sleeve rod 40 drives the fourth bevel gear 41 at the bottom to rotate;

[0058] Because the fourth bevel gear 41 is vertically engaged with the third bevel gear 37, the torque is transmitted to the third bevel gear 37, the third bevel gear 37 is threadedly connected with the adjusting screw 38, and the adjusting screw 38 is driven to move axially. At this time, the second guide sliding block 45 at one end of the adjusting piston 36 slides in the second guide sliding groove 44 of the adjusting slide pipe 6, to limit the rotation of the adjusting piston 36, so that the adjusting piston 36 moves axially along the adjusting slide pipe 6 with the adjusting screw 38, to change the effective volume in the adjusting slide pipe 6. Therefore, by limiting the movement distance of the double-headed piston rod 7 in the adjusting slide pipe 6 by the adjusting piston 36, the piston amount of the other end of the double-headed piston rod 7 in the piston pipe 8 is adjusted, and the cooling liquid flow is adjusted to adapt to the heat production demand of the current grinding wheel 5;

[0059] And the detection end of the visual monitoring module 46 is real-time towards the contact end of the polishing wheel 5 and the workpiece, continuously collecting image information of the polishing area, including the workpiece surface state, the polishing wheel 5 wear condition and the cooling liquid coverage range, and transmitting the information to the controller 47 for analysis, and starting the wheel switching assembly to switch the polishing wheel 5 according to the polishing process, to ensure the machining precision;

[0060] At the same time, the waste liquid and metal debris mixture generated during polishing falls on the top of the base 1, flows into the recovery port 49 along the surface of the base, and the filter screen 50 in the recovery port 49 filters out the metal debris in the mixture to avoid clogging the pipeline, and the filtered cooling liquid enters the recovery bin 48 for temporary storage, and the cooling liquid in the recovery bin 48 can be pumped back to the water tank 13 for recycling, reducing resource waste and waste liquid treatment cost.

[0061] The working principle of the automatic grinding machine with the replaceable wheel structure provided by the application is as follows:

[0062] First, the workpiece to be processed is fixed on the workbench of the XYZ three-axis linkage machining bed 2, the machining parameters are set through the controller 47, the controller 47 first drives the Z-axis sliding table of the XYZ three-axis linkage machining bed 2, drives the U-shaped support 3 and the protective cover 4 to move, and makes the outer periphery of the protective cover 4 accurately align with the workpiece to be polished in the initial machining condition, to complete the position calibration before machining.

[0063] Subsequently, if the initial polishing wheel 5 does not meet the current machining requirement, the controller 47 starts the double-shaft motor 18 to drive the sun gear 17 to rotate in the fixed gear ring 16, the sun gear 17 drives the three planetary gears 19 to revolve and rotate, the planetary gears 19 drive the transmission shaft 21 and the polishing wheel 5 to rotate around the protective cover 4 through the first ball bearing 20, to realize the switching of the polishing wheel 5 corresponding to the three machining conditions of initial machining, fine machining and super-fine machining, to meet different machining requirements.

[0064] Then, the first motor 26 is started to drive the first worm 25 to rotate, the second bevel gear 23 is driven to rotate through the first worm gear 24, the second bevel gear 23 is engaged with the first bevel gear 22, to provide stable rotating power for the polishing wheel 5, and the polishing wheel 5 completes the polishing machining on the target.
