Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass deep processing technology, and more particularly to a method for processing roller conveyor frames. Background Technology
[0002] The glass deep processing line roller conveyor is a key piece of equipment that automatically conveys, positions, corrects, and starts / stops glass, connecting all the process equipment in the production line to realize the deep processing of glass.
[0003] Inline roller conveyors are typically composed of multiple connected roller conveyor units, each consisting of a roller conveyor frame, conveyor rollers, a drive motor, and a gear transmission system. With the development of the glass manufacturing industry, the requirements for the smoothness and precision of inline roller conveyor transport are becoming increasingly stringent, with conveyor roller surface runout accuracy ≤0.2mm.
[0004] The main performance indicators of the connecting roller conveyor frame, which serves as the foundation for laying the conveyor rollers, are as follows: flatness of the mounting surface of the large plate on the drive side ≤ 0.15mm, flatness of the mounting surface of the channel steel on the non-drive side ≤ 0.1mm, parallelism between the mounting surface of the large plate on the drive side and the mounting surface of the non-drive side ≤ 0.15mm, height difference between the mounting surface of the large plate on the drive side and the mounting surface of the non-drive side ≤ 0.2mm, parallel alignment of the bearing mounting holes on the drive side and the bearing mounting holes on the non-drive side with a diagonal difference ≤ 1mm, and perpendicularity of the motor mounting plate on the drive side and the mounting surface of the large plate on the drive side ≤ 0.2mm. The technical indicators of the connecting roller conveyor frame directly affect the runout accuracy of the main conveyor roller surface.
[0005] The existing manufacturing process for roller conveyor frames is as follows:
[0006] Step 1. Prepare materials, including channel steel components, support leg components, motor mounting plate, set screw plate, transmission side plate, reinforcing rib plate, fixed-length rectangular tube and square tube body;
[0007] Step 2. Weld the transmission side large plate assembly, including the channel steel assembly, the transmission side large plate, and the reinforcing rib plate;
[0008] Step 3. Weld the transmission side panel components, including the transmission side plate assembly, support leg assembly, rectangular tube, motor mounting plate, and set screw plate;
[0009] Step 4. Weld the non-drive side panels, including the channel steel assembly, the support leg assembly, and the rectangular tube;
[0010] Step 5. Assemble and weld the transmission side plate, the non-transmission side plate, and the square tube body;
[0011] Step 6. CNC gantry milling: large plate surface on the transmission side, bearing mounting holes on the large plate surface, channel steel mounting surface on the non-transmission side, bearing mounting holes on the channel steel surface, and motor mounting plate surface.
[0012] The problem with conventional methods is:
[0013] Problem 1. The equipment available for machining the entire frame is limited, and only CNC gantry machining centers can be used, resulting in high manufacturing costs.
[0014] Problem 2: The large plate surface on the transmission side of the vertical milling machine is suspended below, resulting in severe vibration and the flatness of the machined plate does not meet the technical requirements.
[0015] Question 3. When welding the transmission side channel steel to the large plate, the traditional method of marking and positioning for alignment and manual clamping results in low production efficiency.
[0016] Question 4. When welding the transmission side and the non-transmission side, manual positioning and clamping are required, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0017] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0018] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to address the low efficiency and precision of the resist welding frame machine.
[0019] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:
[0020] This invention claims protection for a method of processing a roller conveyor frame, comprising the following steps;
[0021] The first positioning fixture positions and clamps the transmission side plate, the first channel steel assembly, and the reinforcing rib plate to control the welding deformation, and then welds them together to form the transmission side plate assembly.
[0022] The transmission side plate assembly, the first leg assembly, the motor mounting plate, the set screw plate, and the first fixed-length rectangular tube are assembled and welded together to form the transmission side plate.
[0023] The second channel steel assembly, the second leg assembly, and the second fixed-length rectangular tube are welded together to form a non-transmission side plate.
[0024] The second positioning fixture uses a combination of flexible clamping and rigid locking to position and clamp the transmission side plate, and mills the mounting surface of the transmission side plate.
[0025] Milling the mounting surface of the non-transmission side plate;
[0026] The first positioning fixture clamps the transmission side plate, the square tube body, and the non-transmission side plate, and welds them together to form a roller frame.
[0027] Drill the first bearing housing mounting hole on the mounting surface of the transmission side plate, and drill the second bearing housing mounting hole on the mounting surface of the non-transmission side plate.
[0028] By first milling the mounting surface and then welding it together to form the roller conveyor frame, instead of welding it together as a whole and then milling it, the existing technology avoids the problem of limited processing equipment and high manufacturing costs caused by the fact that the whole roller conveyor frame is huge and has a large processing range, which can only be processed by CNC gantry machining centers. This breaks the limitations of traditional processes that rely too much on high-end equipment, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency.
[0029] Preferably, the first positioning fixture includes a first worktable and a clamping pad, a first side-fitting limiting block, a large plate limiting block and a first channel steel limiting block, a large plate pressing mechanism, a first channel steel clamping device and a first lateral pressing mechanism disposed on one side of the first worktable surface;
[0030] The process of forming the transmission side large plate assembly includes the following steps;
[0031] The fixture pad, the first side fitting limit block and the large plate limit block position the transmission side large plate;
[0032] The first side fitting limiting block and the first channel steel limiting block position the first channel steel assembly;
[0033] The large plate pressing block support cylinder drives the large plate pressing plate cylinder to clamp the transmission side large plate.
[0034] The first channel steel clamping device clamps the first channel steel assembly;
[0035] The first lateral clamping mechanism presses against the transmission side plate and the first channel steel assembly;
[0036] The transmission side plate and the first channel steel assembly were assembled and welded together.
[0037] The transmission side plate assembly is formed by welding together the transmission side plate, the first channel steel assembly, and the reinforcing rib plate.
[0038] By setting up a dedicated first positioning fixture for the transmission side plate and the first channel steel assembly for positioning and clamping, the problem of poor accuracy and inconsistent performance caused by relying on the skills and experience of welders for manual marking, positioning, and splicing in existing technologies is eliminated. In fact, large welding deformation leaves a great deal of "remedial" pressure for subsequent milling processes. Therefore, this implementation solves the problem at its source. As long as the first positioning fixture itself is manufactured accurately, each workpiece is positioned with the same reference and fixed with the same clamping force; the welding parameters are consistent, and the quality of each transmission side plate assembly produced is highly consistent, stable, and predictable. This achieves standardized and large-scale production with an extremely high product qualification rate and almost no scrap due to welding positioning errors.

The first channel steel web plate pad and the second channel steel web plate pad are placed inside the first web plate. The support leg pad supports the first support leg assembly. The side of the support leg assembly is attached to the lateral limiting block. The first wing plate is attached to the side of the first channel steel positioning block.

[0062] The web plate auxiliary support mechanism supports the first web plate by the following steps;
[0063] When the first web plate contacts the first floating block, the first spring is flexibly compressed, keeping the end of the first floating block in contact with and supporting the first web plate, and the first locking screw is tightened to lock it rigidly.
[0064] Preferably, the large plate auxiliary support mechanism includes a fifth bracket, a large plate auxiliary support cylinder, and a large plate auxiliary unit. The fifth bracket is provided on the second workbench, and the large plate auxiliary support cylinder is provided on the fifth bracket. The piston rod of the large plate auxiliary support cylinder is connected to the large plate auxiliary unit. The large plate auxiliary support cylinder is configured to drive the large plate auxiliary unit to move horizontally. The large plate auxiliary unit is configured to flexibly slide and extend horizontally relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit, and to rigidly lock vertically relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit.
[0065] The auxiliary support mechanism for the large plate clamping the transmission side large plate specifically includes the following steps;
[0066] When the large plate auxiliary support cylinder is activated, the piston rod of the large plate auxiliary support cylinder extends, driving the output end of the large plate auxiliary unit to flexibly slide and extend horizontally relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit until it contacts the side of the transmission side large plate. Then, the output end of the large plate auxiliary unit is rigidly locked vertically relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit, pressing against the side of the transmission side large plate.
[0067] Preferably, the large plate auxiliary unit includes a fixed pressure plate, a floating pin spring, a first clamping plate, a second float, a pressure plate spring, a floating pressure plate, a second clamping plate, a pressure plate guide pin, and a second locking screw; the piston rod of the large plate auxiliary support cylinder is connected to the fixed pressure plate, an opening groove is opened on the surface of the fixed pressure plate, the second float is connected to the opening groove by a floating pin spring, the second float partially slides in the opening groove, the top opening of the opening groove is defined as the first opening, the end of the opening groove passes through to form the second opening, the side wall of the second float protrudes from the first opening, and the end of the second float protrudes from the second opening;
[0068] A pressure hole is vertically opened on the top surface of the fixed pressure plate, and a pressure plate spring is connected in the pressure hole. A first clamping plate is set on the bottom surface of the fixed pressure plate, and a floating pressure plate and a second clamping plate are set on the top of the fixed pressure plate in sequence. The pressure plate guide pin passes through the second clamping plate and the floating pressure plate in sequence, and the pressure plate guide pin and the pressure hole form a sliding guide fit. The second locking screw passes through the second clamping plate and the floating pressure plate in sequence, and the second locking screw is screwed into the fixed pressure plate. The fixed pressure plate, the first clamping plate, the floating pressure plate and the second locking screw together form the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit, and the second floating block forms the output end of the large plate auxiliary unit.
[0069] The output end of the large plate auxiliary unit flexibly slides and extends horizontally relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit until it contacts the side of the transmission side large plate. Then, the output end of the large plate auxiliary unit rigidly locks and presses against the side of the transmission side large plate vertically relative to the fixed end of the large plate auxiliary unit. Specifically, this includes:
[0070] Activate the auxiliary support cylinder of the large plate. The piston rod of the auxiliary support cylinder extends, driving the fixed pressure plate closer to the side of the transmission side plate. The second float contacts the transmission side plate, and the floating pin spring is flexibly compressed, causing the second float to move backward. Tighten the second locking screw, and the floating pressure plate slides along the guide engagement between the pressure plate guide pin and the pressure hole until the floating pressure plate presses the second float, which is then rigidly locked and pressed against the side of the transmission side plate.
[0071] The second positioning fixture uses a combination of flexible clamping and rigid locking to position and clamp the parts. In fact, during the milling process, since the transmission side plate itself is not an absolutely rigid body, the transmission side plate will undergo extremely small elastic deformation or vibration under the cutting force of the milling cutter head.
[0072] In this way, once high-frequency vibration occurs between the milling cutter and the transmission side plate, it leaves obvious vibration marks on the machined surface, causing a sharp decrease in surface finish and flatness, which will result in the phenomenon of milling cutter vibration.
[0073] The transmission side plate retracts due to insufficient support; when the milling cutter leaves, the transmission side plate springs back, which leads to uneven actual cutting amount and the machined surface does not meet the required flatness, resulting in tool deflection.
[0074] However, in this embodiment, the web plate auxiliary support mechanism and the large plate auxiliary support mechanism allow the floating block, which extends actively before milling and is driven by the corresponding spring, to closely fit the contact position of the transmission side plate and then mechanically lock it, forming a rigid lock. This greatly increases the local rigidity of the transmission side plate, thereby eliminating tool vibration and tool deflection.
[0075] Preferably, forming the roller conveyor frame specifically includes the following steps;
[0076] The first positioning fixture clamps the transmission side plate on one side;
[0077] The non-transmission side piece is clamped on the other side of the first positioning fixture;
[0078] The first positioning fixture positions the square tube body in the middle;
[0079] The welded square tube body, the driving side plate, and the non-driving side plate form a roller conveyor frame.
[0080] The advantages of this invention are as follows: the first positioning fixture enables rapid positioning and automatic clamping, reducing the clamping time of the transmission side plate, the first channel steel assembly, and the reinforcing rib plate from minutes to seconds, significantly reducing labor intensity; it also reduces reliance on highly skilled welders, significantly accelerating the production cycle. Furthermore, the first positioning fixture can also be used to clamp the transmission side plate, demonstrating significant versatility in the production process and showcasing excellent process integration and flexibility.
[0081] The second positioning fixture extends actively before milling, allowing the spring-driven floating block to closely engage with the contact position of the transmission side plate, then mechanically locks it in place, forming a rigid lock. This significantly increases the local rigidity of the transmission side plate, thereby eliminating tool vibration and deflection. Attached Figure Description

[0132] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0133] See Figures 1-3 It should be noted in advance that the roller conveyor frame is the core support structure of the roller conveyor system, used to install and fix components such as rollers and drive devices.
[0134] Overall, the shape of the roller conveyor frame is similar to a horizontally placed "ladder" frame structure. With the center of the roller conveyor frame as the origin O, the length direction of the roller conveyor frame is the X-axis, the width direction of the roller conveyor frame is the Y-axis, and the height direction of the roller conveyor frame is the Z-axis, a first three-dimensional coordinate system is established.
[0135] Therefore, the side of the roller conveyor frame along the X-axis is the transmission side, and the drive motor and gear transmission system used for transmission are both installed on the transmission side.
[0136] The other side of the roller conveyor frame along the X-axis is the non-drive side, which mainly serves as a support and guide.
[0137] The transmission side and the non-transmission side are welded together by several square tube bodies 19a. The square tube bodies 19a are parallel to the Y-axis, and finally form a "ladder-shaped" frame. The conveyor rollers are mounted on both sides of the roller frame.
[0138] Specifically, the roller conveyor frame is welded together from at least the transmission side plate 10, the first channel steel assembly 11, the reinforcing rib plate 12, the first support leg assembly 13, the motor mounting plate 14, the top screw plate, the first fixed-length rectangular tube 16, the second channel steel assembly 17, the second support leg assembly 18, the second fixed-length rectangular tube 19, and the square tube body 19a.
[0139] First, regarding the transmission side;
[0140] The transmission side plate 10 is arranged along the X-axis and is located at the core of the transmission side. It serves as the reference and mounting platform for the entire transmission side. The top surface of the transmission side plate 10 has a first bearing seat mounting hole 10d, which is used to install the first bearing seat (not shown in the figure). The first bearing seat installs the first bearing (not shown in the figure) at one end of the conveyor roller.
[0141] The first channel steel assembly 11 is arranged along the Z-axis and welded to the underside of the transmission side plate 10.
[0142] A reinforcing rib 12 is welded between the first channel steel assembly 11 and the transmission side plate 10 to enhance their rigidity, thereby jointly forming the transmission side plate assembly.
[0143] The first leg assembly 13 is arranged along the Z-axis and welded to the bottom of the first channel steel assembly 11 to support the roller conveyor frame.
[0144] The motor mounting plate 14 is welded onto the first leg assembly 13. Its mounting surface needs to be cut to ensure that it is perpendicular to the surface of the transmission side plate 10, and is used to mount the motor.
[0145] The set screw plate consists of four small parts on the motor mounting plate 14. After the conveyor roller is installed, it is used to adjust the Z-axis position of the motor to ensure the tension of the synchronous belt connecting the motor and the conveyor roller.
[0146] The first fixed-length rectangular tube 16 is arranged along the X-axis and is used to connect the first support leg assembly 13.
[0147] The above transmission side components are welded together to form the transmission side plate.
[0148] Secondly, regarding the non-transmission side;
[0149] The second channel steel assembly 17 is arranged along the Z-axis and serves as the main structure on the non-transmission side. The top surface of the second channel steel assembly 17 has a second bearing housing mounting hole 17d, which is used to install the second bearing housing (not shown in the figure). The bearing housing is used to install the second bearing (not shown in the figure) at the other end of the conveyor roller.
[0150] The second leg assembly 18, arranged along the Z-axis, is welded to the bottom of the second channel steel assembly 17 and is used to support the roller conveyor frame.
[0151] The second fixed-length rectangular tube 19 is arranged along the X-axis and is used to connect the second support leg assembly 18.
[0152] The above non-drive side panels are welded together to form the non-drive side pieces.
[0153] Then, regarding the square tube body 19a;
[0154] The square tube body 19a, arranged along the Y-axis, is used to connect the transmission side plate and the non-transmission side plate, and is welded between the two side plates.
[0155] It should be noted in advance that, taking the roller conveyor frame assembled and welded at this moment as the reference, the top surface of the transmission side large plate assembly is defined as the first mounting surface 10c, and the top surface of the second channel steel assembly 17 is defined as the second mounting surface 17c.
[0156] The following process requirements must be ensured during the processing:
[0157] The flatness of the first mounting surface 10c is ≤0.15mm.
[0158] The flatness of the second mounting surface 17c is ≤0.1mm.
[0159] The height difference between the first mounting surface 10c and the second mounting surface 17c is ≤0.2mm.

[0162] The perpendicularity between the first mounting surface 10c and the motor mounting plate 14 is ≤0.2mm.
[0163] It is worth mentioning that the diagonal difference ≤1mm refers to the difference between the line connecting the foremost first bearing housing mounting hole 10d and the rearmost second bearing housing mounting hole 17d along the X-axis and the line connecting the foremost second bearing housing mounting hole 17d and the rearmost first bearing housing mounting hole 10d, which is ≤1mm.

The first channel steel limiting block 24 has an inverted "L" shape, therefore, the top side of the first channel steel limiting block 24 protrudes beyond the large plate limiting block 23, thus allowing them to be combined for positioning the transmission-side large plate 10 and the first channel steel assembly 11; specifically...
[0172] Three large plate limiting blocks 23 are evenly arranged along the x-axis on the first workbench 20. A first side-fitting limiting block 22 is set on the left side of the first workbench 20. The first side-fitting limiting block 22 and the large plate limiting block 23 are not on the same horizontal line.
[0173] Three first channel steel limit blocks 24 are evenly arranged along the x-axis on the first workbench 20.
[0174] Four large plate clamping mechanisms 25 are arranged along the x-axis of the first workbench 20. The large plate clamping mechanism 25 is used to clamp the large plate 10 on the transmission side.

During the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the rotary clamping cylinder, it can rotate 90° to the right or left and clamp the top of the first wing plate 111 through the clamping arm. This is prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0177] The first workbench 20 is equipped with three first channel steel web clamping mechanisms 27 along the x-axis.

[0178] It should be noted that the fixed end of the third cylinder 271 can be understood as the outer shell of the third cylinder 271, and the piston rod of the third cylinder 271 is the piston rod of the third cylinder 271. When the piston rod of the third cylinder 271 moves, it drives one end of the third clamping arm 273 to move. Due to the restriction of the third support rod 275, the middle part of the third clamping arm 273 rotates around the second pin 274 until the third clamping arm 273 is stuck on the outside of the first web plate.

[0214] S51. The web plate auxiliary support mechanism 46 provides auxiliary support for the first web plate 110; specifically, due to the flatness error of the first web plate 110, the first web plate 110 contacts the first floating block 461, causing it to descend to different degrees. The first spring 462 flexibly compresses the first floating block 461 to keep its end in contact with and support the first web plate 110, and the first locking screw 463 is tightened to rigidly lock it.
[0215] S52. The channel steel pneumatic pressure plate 47 clamps the first channel steel assembly 11; specifically, the channel steel pneumatic pressure plate 47 is activated to clamp both ends of the first channel steel assembly 11.

After the second float 4923 contacts the transmission side large plate 10, the floating pin spring 4921 is compressed, and the second float 4923 moves backward. At this time, the second locking screw 4928 is tightened, so that the floating pressure plate 4925 slides along the guide pin 4927 and the pressure hole 49202 until the second float 4923 is pressed and locked.
[0218] S55.

[0234] The first workbench 20 has two second square tube limiting blocks 36 placed on both sides of the x' axis. The top of the second square tube limiting block 36 has an L-shaped structure to position the square tube body 19a located on the upper two sides.
[0235] The first workbench 20 is also equipped with a third-party tube limiting block 37, which is located between the second square tube limiting blocks 36. The top of the third-party tube limiting block 37 has an inverted T-shaped structure to position the square tube body 19a located in the upper center.
[0236] It is worth noting that there are three columns of square tube body 19a along the x' axis; and each column has two layers along the z' axis. Therefore, the square tube body 19a located in the upper layer is the upper square tube body 19a, and the square tube body 19a located in the lower layer is the lower square tube body 19a. The square tube body 19a located in the middle column of the upper layer is the square tube body 19a located in the middle of the upper layer, and the two columns of square tube body 19a located on the two sides of the upper layer are the square tube body 19a located on the two sides of the upper layer.
[0237] A second lateral clamping mechanism 34 is provided on the right side of the first workbench 20. The second lateral clamping mechanism 34 has the same structure as the first lateral clamping mechanism 28. It works in conjunction with the second side fitting limit block 29 to clamp both ends of the second channel steel assembly 17. Further details are omitted.
[0238] The first positioning fixture clamps the transmission side plate and the non-transmission side plate, and the welding process to form the roller frame includes the following steps:

Positioning the non-transmission side plate; specifically, the second channel steel assembly 17 has its opening facing the side, the second side fitting limit block 29 is fitted with the end face of the second wing plate, and the second channel steel limit block 30 is fitted with the side of the second wing plate.
[0242] S711. The outrigger clamping cylinder 311 clamps the second outrigger assembly 18; specifically, the outrigger clamping cylinder 311 is activated, which drives the fourth clamping arm 313 to rotate around the fifth pin 314 and rotate until it is locked inside the second outrigger assembly 18.

[0245] S714. The second lateral tightening mechanism 34 fixes the second channel steel assembly 17; specifically, the second lateral tightening mechanism 34 is activated, see S24, which will not be repeated here.
[0246] S715. Position the square tube body 19a; specifically, place three square tube bodies 19a on the first worktable 20, so that the three square tube bodies 19a respectively abut against the sides of the first square tube limiting block 35, the second square tube limiting block 36 and the third square tube limiting block 37.
[0247] S72. The welded square tube body 19a, the driving side plate and the non-driving side plate form a roller frame, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0248] S73. Remove the roller conveyor frame; specifically including the following steps;
[0249] S730. Remove the restrictions on the transmission side plate assembly. See S27 for details.
[0250] S731. Release the restriction on the non-transmission side plate; specifically, reverse drive the second lateral clamping mechanism 34 to release the fixation on the right side of the second channel steel assembly 17; reverse drive the outrigger clamping cylinder 311, the second channel steel web clamping mechanism 33, and the second assembly pressing mechanism 32 to release the restriction on the non-transmission side plate and remove the roller frame.
[0251] It is worth mentioning that the placement of all the components is described based on the second three-dimensional coordinate system. In fact, corresponding to the first three-dimensional coordinate system, the bottom surface of the transmission side plate assembly is the first mounting surface 10c, and the bottom surface of the non-transmission side plate is the second mounting surface 17c.
[0252] Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that during the S7 process, the height difference between the first mounting surface 10c and the second mounting surface 17c is ≤0.2mm; and the parallelism between the first mounting surface 10c and the second mounting surface 17c is ≤0.15mm.
[0253] See Figure 30 S8. Drill the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d and the second bearing housing mounting hole 17d; based on the first three-dimensional coordinate system, the specific steps include:
[0254] S80. Drill the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d; specifically, use the first bearing housing guide hole as a reference to perform fine reaming to ensure the position of the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d.
[0255] S81. Drill the second bearing housing mounting hole 17d; specifically including:
[0256] S810. Pre-position the second bearing housing installation hole drilling template; pre-position the second bearing housing installation hole drilling template on the top surface of the second channel steel assembly 17.
[0257] S811. Define the line connecting the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d at the foremost side and the drilling template hole at the second bearing housing mounting hole at the rearmost side as the first diagonal L1, and define the line connecting the drilling template hole at the second bearing housing mounting hole at the foremost side and the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d at the rearmost side as the second diagonal L2.
[0258] S812. Use a measuring tape to check the first diagonal L1 and the second diagonal L2. When L2-L1≤±1mm, use an F-clamp to fix the second bearing seat mounting hole drill template. The F-clamp is a woodworking clamp, which is a tool used to fix wood or other workpieces. It is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0259] S813. Drill centering holes along the hole positions of the second bearing housing mounting hole drilling template. After all the centering holes are drilled, remove the second bearing housing mounting hole drilling template and drill the second bearing housing mounting hole 17d with the centering holes as the reference.
[0260] During the S8 process, it is necessary to ensure that the first bearing housing mounting hole 10d and the second bearing housing mounting hole 17d are parallel and aligned, with a diagonal difference of ≤1mm.
[0261] In this embodiment, the installation surface is first milled and then welded to form the roller frame, replacing the existing technology of first welding the whole and then milling. This avoids the problem of limited processing equipment and high manufacturing costs caused by the fact that the whole roller frame is huge and has a large processing range, which means that only CNC gantry machining centers can be used. This breaks the limitations of traditional processes that rely too much on high-end equipment, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency.
[0262] Secondly, by setting up a dedicated first positioning fixture for the transmission side plate 10 and the first channel steel assembly 11 for positioning and clamping, the problem of poor accuracy and inconsistent performance caused by relying on the skills and experience of welders for manual marking, positioning and splicing in the existing technology is eliminated. In fact, the large welding deformation leaves a great deal of "remedial" pressure on the subsequent milling process. Therefore, in this implementation, the problem is solved from the source. As long as the first positioning fixture itself is manufactured accurately, each workpiece is positioned with the same reference and fixed with the same clamping force; the welding parameters are consistent, and the quality of each transmission side plate assembly produced is highly consistent, stable and predictable. Standardized and large-scale production is achieved, the product qualification rate is extremely high, and there is almost no scrap due to splicing and positioning errors.
[0263] Therefore, in the S2, not only can positioning and automatic clamping be achieved quickly, reducing clamping time from minutes to seconds and significantly reducing labor intensity, but it also reduces reliance on highly skilled welders and significantly accelerates the production cycle.
[0264] Moreover, in S7, the first positioning fixture can also be used to clamp the transmission side plate, the square tube body 19a, and the non-transmission side plate. This means that although the fixture is a dedicated system designed to achieve specific accuracy targets, it exhibits significant general-purpose functionality in the production process, demonstrating good process integration and flexibility.
[0265] Then, the flexible clamping and rigid locking of the second positioning fixture work together to position and clamp the parts. In fact, during the milling process, since the transmission side plate itself is not an absolutely rigid body, the transmission side plate will undergo extremely small elastic deformation or vibration under the cutting force of the milling cutter head.
[0266] In this way, once high-frequency vibration occurs between the milling cutter and the transmission side plate, it leaves obvious vibration marks on the machined surface, causing a sharp decrease in surface finish and flatness, which will result in the phenomenon of milling cutter vibration.
[0267] The transmission side plate retracts due to insufficient support; when the milling cutter leaves, the transmission side plate springs back, which leads to uneven actual cutting amount and the machined surface does not meet the required flatness, resulting in tool deflection.
[0268] However, in this embodiment, the web plate auxiliary support mechanism 46 and the large plate auxiliary support mechanism 49 allow the floating block, which extends actively before milling and is driven by the corresponding spring, to closely fit the contact position of the transmission side plate and then mechanically lock, forming a rigid lock. This greatly increases the local rigidity of the transmission side plate, thereby eliminating tool vibration and tool deflection.
[0269] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
