Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asphalt grooving technology, specifically relating to a semi-automatic asphalt grooving machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of optoelectronics, semiconductors, aerospace and other fields, the requirements for material surface quality (such as flatness and roughness) and microstructure precision (such as groove depth, groove width, and shape consistency) are constantly increasing. Traditional processing methods (such as mechanical cutting and chemical etching) are difficult to meet sub-micron or even nanometer-level precision requirements. To overcome the above problems, existing technologies use the circular motion of a ring polisher and multi-station synchronous processing to improve polishing efficiency and precision.

[0003] For ring polishing machines, the surface has a layer of asphalt wax plate. Polishing is achieved through friction between the asphalt wax plate, polishing fluid, and the product. Grooving on the asphalt wax plate solves key bottleneck problems in precision polishing, such as fluid distribution, heat management, and stress control. The speed of asphalt grooving affects processing efficiency, while the quality of grooving affects the surface smoothness and cleanliness of the product. Optimizing grooving technology is of great significance for the precision machining of products. Currently, asphalt grooving equipment suffers from problems such as low positioning accuracy, tool wear leading to deteriorated cut quality, and high energy consumption.

[0004] Currently, to improve the speed and quality of asphalt grooving, fully automated grooving equipment is used. However, this equipment is expensive, occupies a large area, and its addition can negatively impact processing. Most ring polishing machines currently use manual grooving, which suffers from low efficiency and poor grooving quality. Existing semi-automatic grooving equipment uses vertical blades, which can cause asphalt adhesion issues. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The invention will be more readily understood by referring to the following detailed description of preferred embodiments and included examples. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a semi-automatic asphalt grooving machine includes: a housing 1;

[0033] A milling cutter 2 is provided inside the housing 1. The milling cutter 2 is connected to a motor 4. The motor 4 drives the milling cutter 2 to rotate, thereby achieving the grooving of the asphalt.

[0034] The milling cutter 2 has inclined cutting teeth 3 to facilitate the removal of adhering asphalt, and the cutting teeth 3 have thickness to improve their service life. Specifically, the milling cutter 2 is similar to a pyramid structure with four faces, one face being vertical and the other three faces being inclined. During the asphalt grooving process, when asphalt adheres, it can be removed more easily, ensuring continuous operation of the milling cutter 2 and greatly improving grooving efficiency. Driven by the motor 4, each cutting tooth 3 periodically cuts into and out of the asphalt. Compared to manual grooving, only the feed path of the grooving machine needs to be controlled, effectively improving grooving efficiency. Furthermore, the cutting teeth 3 have a certain thickness, and during the grooving process, they do not remove asphalt through sharp edges as in existing technologies, thus eliminating the need for frequent sharpening and further improving efficiency.

[0035] A positioning plate 5 is disposed below the housing 1. A through groove 6 is formed on the positioning plate 5 at a position corresponding to the milling cutter 2. The through groove 6 is used for the milling cutter 2 to pass through.

[0036] The backing plate 7 is attached to one side of the positioning plate 5, and the backing plate 7 is used to make the positioning plate 5 move along the outer contour shape of the backing plate 7.

[0037] The cutting path of the grooving machine can be limited by the cooperation of the positioning plate 5 and the backing plate 7. For example, if the side of the positioning plate 5 is straight, and the side of the backing plate 7 that is in contact with the positioning plate 5 is also straight, a straight groove can be cut. Or, for another example, if the side of the positioning plate 5 is curved, and the side of the backing plate 7 that is in contact with the positioning plate 5 is a curved line of the same curvature, a curved groove can be cut.

[0038] In one embodiment, the milling cutter 2 includes a cutter body, with a plurality of cutting teeth 3 distributed on the outer side of the cutter body. One side of each cutting tooth 3 is parallel to the diameter section of the milling cutter 2, and the other side of each cutting tooth 3 has an inclination angle. Specifically, the milling cutter 2 has an outer diameter of 110 mm and an inner diameter of 20 mm. The tooth height of each cutting tooth 3 is 8-12 mm, the tooth width of each cutting tooth 3 is 8-12 mm, the upper tooth clearance is 8-10 mm, the lower tooth clearance is 1-2 mm, and the inclination angle is 72°. Preferably, the tooth height is 12 mm, the tooth width is 12 mm, the upper tooth thickness is 10 mm, and the lower tooth thickness is 2 mm. One side of the tooth is parallel to the diameter of the cutter, and the other side has a certain inclination angle, which is beneficial for cutting asphalt. The shape of the cutting tooth 3 allows for the rapid machining of V-grooves of corresponding sizes.

[0039] In one embodiment, a cooling system (not shown) is provided on one side of the housing 1 to cool the milling cutter 2. Exemplarily, the cooling system includes a water spray nozzle with adjustable direction, which is connected to an external cooling box via a valve. Because the high-speed rotation of the milling cutter 2 generates heat, asphalt can easily stick to the blade, affecting the quality and efficiency of grooving. By adjusting the position of the water spray nozzle towards the milling cutter 2, the surface temperature of the milling cutter 2 can be effectively reduced, asphalt adhesion can be decreased, and processing efficiency can be improved. Simultaneously, because the three faces of the cutting teeth 3 have inclined angles, it is easier for the asphalt to detach after cooling.

[0040] In one embodiment, the positioning plate 5 is provided with a groove depth adjustment mechanism, which is used to adjust the groove depth of the milling cutter 2. Exemplarily, the groove depth adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame 8, on which a knob 9 is provided, and the knob 9 is connected to the housing 1. After the adjustable knob 9 is turned open, the positioning plate 5 can move up and down with the knob 9. Moving the positioning plate 5 upwards increases the cutting depth of the cutter. Once the desired depth is reached, tightening the knob 9 maintains the same depth.

[0041] In one embodiment, the adjustment frame 8 has a scale, which can be at the millimeter level, to more precisely adjust the depth of the slot.

[0042] In one embodiment, the support 7 is a hollow metal tube. Preferably, the support 7 is a hollow aluminum tube, which is lightweight and not easily deformed.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
