TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of grinding technology, in particular to a surface treatment device and method for robot joint arm speed reducer castings. BACKGROUND
[0002] The robot joint arm speed reducer is the core component of the industrial robot to realize precise motion control, and its castings (such as cycloid wheels, planet carriers, pin gear housings, etc.) need to withstand high load, high frequency friction and complex working condition impact for a long time. After machining, the end face of the speed reducer casting will produce burrs, which will affect the working effect and service life of the parts. In addition, the surface quality requirement of some existing speed reducer castings is relatively high, so after the casting of the speed reducer casting is completed, the surface treatment of the speed reducer casting is needed. With the development of industrial automation towards high precision and high reliability, the downstream customers have put forward strict requirements on the surface quality of the speed reducer casting: the surface must have extremely low roughness to ensure smooth gear meshing, and at the same time, it must have high hardness and corrosion resistance to resist wear and environmental erosion during long-term operation. However, the existing surface treatment technology cannot meet the above requirements at the same time, which has become a key bottleneck restricting the upgrading of the industry.
[0003] For example, the patent document with the publication number CN213795676U discloses a special-shaped speed reducer casting surface treatment device, which includes a bottom plate and a support frame. The top of the bottom plate is fixedly connected with the support frame, the top of the support frame is fixedly connected with a hydraulic rod, the bottom of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected with a bearing, the inside of the bottom plate is movably connected with a cleaning connecting pipe, and one end of the cleaning connecting pipe is fixedly connected with a cleaning nozzle. The special-shaped speed reducer casting surface treatment device can conveniently move the cleaning connecting pipe through the movement of the moving block, so as to realize cleaning of speed reducer castings of different sizes by the staff. Through the cooperation of the top rotating disc and the bottom rotating disc, the top rotating disc and the bottom rotating disc are driven by the hydraulic rod and the servo motor, so that the speed reducer casting is clamped between the top rotating disc and the bottom rotating block, the casting is fixed up and down, and the stability of the device polishing is improved.
[0004] In the prior art, through the ingenious design of the cooperation mechanism of the telescopic rod and the polishing grinding wheel, the telescopic rod is driven to move the polishing grinding wheel flexibly, thereby realizing effective polishing of castings of different sizes to a certain extent. This innovative design significantly enhances the adaptability of the polishing device in dealing with various polishing objects, expands its application range, and brings positive influence to the casting polishing process. However, in actual production application scenarios, we face a difficult problem that needs to be solved. The surface of the casting is often distributed with grooves of different shapes and sizes, and the diameter of these grooves varies greatly, with high randomness and uncertainty. When encountering a groove with too small diameter, the existing polishing grinding wheel cannot enter the groove for polishing due to its size limitation. This forces the operator to interrupt the current polishing process and spend extra time and effort to replace the grinding wheel with smaller size that is more suitable for the groove. The process of replacing the grinding wheel is complicated and time-consuming, not only needs to accurately adjust the installation position of the grinding wheel to ensure its coaxiality and stability with the polishing device, but also needs to reposition and calibrate to ensure the accuracy and quality of polishing. This series of operations seriously disrupts the normal polishing rhythm, resulting in a significant decrease in polishing efficiency, increases the production cycle and cost, and cannot meet the needs of modern high-efficiency production. Therefore, how to solve the problem of polishing small-diameter grooves with the existing polishing device has become the key to improving the efficiency and quality of casting polishing.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the heater 400 is the key component in the device that enables the T-shaped slide bar 302 to change the characteristics according to the design requirements. It is arranged in the adaptive assembly for conducting heat to the T-shaped slide bar 302. The heater 400 adopts advanced heating technology and can quickly and uniformly generate heat.

Then, the lifting motor 305 is operated to adjust the height of the connecting shell 301 to make it close to the casting 103. By turning on the plurality of heaters 400, the heat sheet 405 generates heat to heat the heat-conducting pad 401, so that the sliding clamp block 310 conducts heat to the T-shaped slide bar 302. The T-shaped slide bar 302 is composed of a low-melting-point alloy and a shape memory polymer, which will soften after being heated. The heaters 400 are turned off, and then the liquid pump 307 is operated to draw oil from the liquid cylinder 308 and convey it into the flow divider 309, and finally into the plurality of horizontal pipes 313, into the plurality of liquid inlet cylinders 312, to respectively push the plurality of piston rods 311 to move, and then drive the sliding clamp block 310 to extrude the flexible sandpaper 300 to deform and fit the irregular surface of the casting 103. As the oil fills the liquid inlet cylinder 312, it will come into contact with the copper sheet 404 to absorb the heat of the copper sheet 404, so that the T-shaped slide bar 302 gradually cools down. After the T-shaped slide bar 302 completely cools down and restores the initial solidification strength, the linear module 306 is operated to drive the connecting shell 301 to perform linear reciprocating motion, so that the flexible sandpaper 300 continuously grinds the surface of the casting 103.
[0032] In summary, the design of the plurality of flexible sandpaper 300 fully considers the irregular characteristics of the surface of the casting 103. The flexible sandpaper 300 has a flexible structure that can conform to the irregular surface of the casting 103, thereby achieving comprehensive grinding of the surface of the casting 103. Compared with traditional rigid sandpaper, the flexible sandpaper 300 can better adapt to castings 103 of different shapes, improving the quality and effect of grinding and reducing the dead angle of grinding caused by the inability to conform to the surface. The T-shaped slide bar 302 is made of memory alloy, which provides a unique advantage for the conforming and grinding of the flexible sandpaper 300. After being heated, the rigidity of the T-shaped slide bar 302 decreases and the material becomes soft, which allows it to be better driven by the self-adaptive assembly to bend and better conform to the surface of the casting 103. After cooling, the T-shaped slide bar 302 will restore strength to provide stable support force for the flexible sandpaper 300 and improve the grinding efficiency with the casting 103. This design that changes characteristics according to temperature changes cleverly solves the support problem of the flexible sandpaper 300 during conforming and grinding. The heater 400 is arranged in the self-adaptive assembly and is used to conduct heat to the T-shaped slide bar 302, which is a key component that allows the T-shaped slide bar 302 to change characteristics according to design requirements. Before the self-adaptive assembly operates, the heater 400 can preheat the T-shaped slide bar 302 to make it reach the melting point and become soft, preparing for the subsequent bending and conforming operation. This preheating design can ensure that the T-shaped slide bar 302 deforms smoothly under the action of the self-adaptive assembly, improving the operation stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0038] In summary, the method realizes high-precision and self-adaptive polishing of complex surfaces of reducer castings (such as cycloid wheels and pin gear housings) by coupling thermal deformation technology with a closed-loop quality control system. The conveying frame 101 drives the clamp 102 to carry the casting 103 into the processing box 100, and the box door 105 is automatically closed to form a sealed space, preventing the leakage of metal dust generated by polishing. The heater 400 heats the heat-conducting pad 401 through the heat sheet 405, so that the sliding clamp block 310 conducts heat to the T-shaped slide bar 302 (low-melting-point alloy + shape memory polymer), triggering its softening. The oil pump 307 delivers oil to the shunt pipe 309, pushing the piston rod 311 to move, so that the sliding clamp block 310 extrudes the flexible sandpaper 300 to deform. The oil absorbs the heat of the copper sheet 404, accelerating the cooling and solidification of the T-shaped slide bar 302. The oil is both a power medium and a cooling medium. After cooling, the T-shaped slide bar 302 restores the initial solidification strength, ensuring stable contact force between the sandpaper and the casting during polishing, and avoiding overcutting caused by vibration.
