Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the main bearing processing technical field, specifically relates to a kind of main bearing ring plane soft band polishing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the quenching process of the main bearing raceway of the heading machine, a quenching blind area will appear at its first and last connections, which has lower hardness, also known as soft band. The hardness of the raceway after normal quenching is generally 58~62HRC, while the hardness of the soft band area is generally about 35HRC. Therefore, the soft band is the weakest area of the main bearing raceway. When the main bearing is working normally, the bearing roller will generate a large force when rolling in the raceway, and the soft band has weak resistance to the rolling and alternating load, so the soft band area will fail first under the action of long-term alternating load, and therefore the main bearing soft band area needs to be polished; the polished main bearing soft band area avoids the contact and stress of the bearing roller in the area in a clearance fit.

[0003] Considering that the soft band area of the main bearing will have a soft and hard junction, when the soft and hard junction reaches the polishing requirement, the polishing depth of other areas of the soft band may have exceeded the maximum value of the set polishing depth. How to make the polishing depth of the soft and hard junction and other areas in the soft band area consistent and meet the set polishing depth is a difficulty in polishing the soft band area. At present, the polishing of the soft band of the bearing raceway is still mainly manual polishing. The polishing depth of the raceway soft band is generally 0.2~0.5mm, and it is difficult to accurately control the grinding depth and surface roughness when polishing manually with a hand-held polisher. In addition, manual polishing has problems such as high labor intensity, low work efficiency, low safety, poor protection and poor product consistency, which makes it difficult to ensure the polishing quality of the soft band, especially for the polishing of the soft band of a larger main bearing ring, which consumes a long time and seriously restricts the production capacity, and the dust generated in the grinding process affects human health.

[0004] In summary, a main bearing ring plane soft band polishing method needs to be developed to solve the problems of long time consumption, low production capacity, low precision and dust hazards to health in manual polishing in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a main bearing ring plane soft band polishing method, and the specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0006] A main bearing ring plane soft band polishing method for polishing the plane soft band area of the axial end of the main bearing ring raceway, comprising:

[0007] Step S1, first full-area polishing;

[0008] First, the planar soft strip area is divided into a soft strip middle area and a soft strip transition area; there are two soft strip transition areas, located at both ends of the soft strip middle area; the hardness of the soft strip transition area is greater than that of the soft strip middle area; the midpoint of the soft strip middle area is marked with a grinding point M4.

[0009] Secondly, the first grinding piece is controlled by a robot to reciprocate through the entire planar soft strip area from grinding point M4 to perform the first full-area grinding; when the grinding depth in the middle area of ​​the soft strip is 0.7 to 0.9 times the target depth H, the grinding is stopped.

[0010] Step S2: Polishing by area;

[0014] A robot is used to control the first grinding component to reciprocate and grind the entire planar soft strip area for a second full-area grinding. When the grinding depth of the middle area of ​​the soft strip reaches the target depth H, the grinding is stopped.

[0015] Optionally, when using segmented grinding between grinding points M1 and M3, the robot first controls the first grinding part to grind from grinding point M1 to grinding point M3, grinding back and forth. When the protruding hard point at grinding point M3 is ground flat, the grinding area is gradually shortened from grinding point M3 to grinding point M2. When the grinding depth between grinding points M1 and M2 is the target depth H, grinding is stopped.

[0016] Optionally, when using segmented grinding between grinding point M7 and grinding point M5, the robot first controls the first grinding part to grind from grinding point M7 to grinding point M5, grinding back and forth. When the protruding hard point at grinding point M5 is ground flat, the grinding area is gradually shortened from grinding point M5 to grinding point M6. When the grinding depth between grinding point M7 and grinding point M6 is the target depth H, grinding is stopped.

[0017] Optionally, the grinding area is shortened by 4-8 mm each time from grinding point M3 to grinding point M2; and the grinding area is shortened by 4-8 mm each time from grinding point M5 to grinding point M6.

[0021] Optionally, the target depth H is 0.3~0.4 mm.

[0022] Optionally, the method for grinding the flat soft strip of the main bearing ring further includes post-processing; the post-processing includes sequentially using a robot-controlled second grinding piece and a third grinding piece to grind the entire flat soft strip area.

[0024] The application of the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This invention provides a method for grinding a planar soft strip on a main bearing raceway. First, the planar soft strip area is divided into a middle soft strip area and a transition soft strip area. The hardness of the transition soft strip area is greater than that of the middle soft strip area. Furthermore, the hardness of grinding points M3 and M5 on either side of grinding point M4 in the middle soft strip area is greater than that of grinding point M4. Second, based on the difference in hardness distribution, a combination of robot-controlled grinding is used to complete the first full-area grinding, the segmented grinding, and the second full-area grinding. This method enables rapid and high-precision grinding to remove protruding hard points at the soft-hard interface, and also allows the transition soft strip area and the middle soft strip area to be rapidly and precisely ground to the target depth H. This solves the problems of long processing time, low productivity, and low precision associated with manual grinding in existing technologies. Additionally, using robot-controlled grinding eliminates the health hazard caused by dust generated during manual grinding.

[0026] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, the present invention has other objectives, features, and advantages. The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example:

[0034] See Figs. 1-3A method for grinding a flat soft strip on a main bearing raceway, used to grind a flat soft strip region L (80mm in length) at the axial end of the raceway 100 of a main bearing raceway, comprising:

[0035] Step S1: First full-area sanding;

[0036] First, the planar flexible strip region L is divided into a middle flexible strip region A (50mm in length) and a transition flexible strip region B (each transition flexible strip region B is 15mm in length). There are two transition flexible strip regions B, located at opposite ends of the middle flexible strip region A. The hardness of the transition flexible strip region B is greater than that of the middle flexible strip region A. The midpoint of the middle flexible strip region A is marked as a grinding point M4. Second, a robot-controlled first grinding tool (specifically a diamond grinding wheel made of electroplated CBN) is used to perform the first full-area grinding by reciprocating through the entire planar flexible strip region L starting from the grinding point M4. Starting the grinding from the grinding point M4 facilitates the robot's accurate and rapid confirmation of the grinding point and also facilitates tool setting. When the grinding depth of the middle flexible strip region A reaches 0.7 to 0.9 times the target depth H, the grinding is stopped.

[0037] Step S2: Polishing by area;

[0038] First, after the first full-area polishing, the irregular curve positions appearing on both sides of polishing point M4 in the middle region A of the soft strip, i.e., the soft-hard junction points, are marked as polishing point M3 and polishing point M5, respectively. The hardness of polishing points M3 and M5 on both sides of polishing point M4 in the middle region A of the soft strip is greater than the hardness of polishing point M4. The two ends of one of the soft strip transition regions B in the length direction are marked as polishing point M1 and polishing point M2, respectively. The two ends of the other soft strip transition region B in the length direction are marked as polishing point M6 and polishing point M7, respectively. Among them, polishing point M1 to polishing point M7 are marked sequentially along the length direction of the planar soft strip region L. The area between polishing point M2 and polishing point M6 is the middle region A of the soft strip.

[0039] Secondly, segmented grinding is performed between grinding points M1 and M3 and between grinding points M7 and M5.

[0040] Specifically, when using segmented grinding between grinding points M1 and M3, the robot first controls the first grinding piece to grind from grinding point M1 to grinding point M3, reciprocating approximately twice. Once the protruding hard spot at grinding point M3 is smoothed out, the grinding area is gradually shortened from grinding point M3 towards grinding point M2. Grinding stops when the measured grinding depth between grinding points M1 and M2 reaches the target depth H. Each time the grinding area is shortened from grinding point M3 to grinding point M2 by 5mm, the grinding operation is completed steadily and efficiently, removing any hard spots appearing from grinding point M3 to grinding point M2. After each shortening of the grinding area, the shortened area is ground approximately twice.

[0041] When using segmented grinding between grinding points M7 and M5, the robot first controls the first grinding piece to grind from grinding point M7 to grinding point M5, repeating the grinding motion approximately twice. Once the protruding hard spot at grinding point M5 is smoothed out, the grinding area is gradually shortened from grinding point M5 to grinding point M6. Grinding stops when the measured grinding depth between grinding points M7 and M6 reaches the target depth H. Specifically, the grinding area is shortened by 5mm each time from grinding point M5 to grinding point M6 to ensure a steady and efficient grinding operation, removing any hard spots appearing from grinding point M5 to grinding point M6. After each shortening of the grinding area, the shortened area is ground approximately twice.

[0042] Step S3: Second full-area polishing;

[0043] The robot controls the first grinding piece to reciprocate through the entire planar soft strip area L for a second full-area grinding. Specifically, the grinding path used in the second full-area grinding is from M1 to M7, and then from M7 to M1, in a reciprocating cycle (approximately 1-2 reciprocating grinding cycles). When the grinding depth of the middle area A of the soft strip is measured to be the target depth H, the grinding is stopped.

[0044] In the segmented grinding process, the electric spindle of the first grinding component has a rotational speed of 6000 r / min, a feed rate of 10 mm / s, and a grinding depth of 0.03 m / cycle.

[0045] In the first full-area grinding, the electric spindle speed of the first grinding workpiece is 6000 r / min, the feed rate is 10 mm / s, and the grinding depth is 0.03 mm / cycle. The grinding path used in the first full-area grinding is to grind from M4 to M1, then from M1 to M7, and then from M7 to M1 in a reciprocating cycle (approximately 5 reciprocating grinding cycles).

[0046] In the second full-area grinding, the electric spindle of the first grinding workpiece has a rotation speed of 6000 r / min, a feed rate of 30 mm / s, and a grinding depth of 0.01 mm / cycle.

[0047] The middle area of ​​the soft strip is ground to a target depth H of 0.4 mm, and the transition area of ​​the soft strip is ground to a target depth H of 0.3 mm.

[0048] The method for polishing the planar soft strip of the main bearing ring also includes post-processing. The post-processing involves sequentially using a robot-controlled second polishing component (specifically a flap wheel made of sandpaper) and a third polishing component (specifically a polishing wheel made of fiber) to polish the entire planar soft strip area L. Specifically, the second polishing component polishes twice along the direction from M1 to M7 to improve the roughness of the planar soft strip area L. The flap wheel is formed by multiple pieces of sandpaper arranged in the same direction. Polishing against the direction of the sandpaper arrangement may cause the sandpaper to fray, resulting in poor polishing. Therefore, polishing must be done along the direction of the sandpaper arrangement. Thus, in this embodiment, the polishing path of the flap wheel is along the direction of the sandpaper arrangement, i.e., from M1 to M7. The third polishing component polishes once along the direction from M1 to M7 to remove minute impurities from the planar soft strip area L, improving its smoothness and brightness.

[0049] The electric spindle using the second grinding element has a rotational speed of 5000 r / min, a feed rate of 20 mm / s, and a grinding depth of 0.005 mm / cycle; the electric spindle using the third grinding element has a rotational speed of 4000 r / min, a feed rate of 30 mm / s, and a grinding depth of 0.001 mm.

[0050] In this embodiment, based on the differences in hardness distribution, a combination of robot-controlled processes is used to complete the first full-area grinding, segmented grinding, and a second full-area grinding. This allows for rapid and high-precision grinding to remove protruding hard points at the soft-hard interface, and also enables the soft band transition area B and the soft band middle area A to be rapidly and precisely ground to the target depth H. This solves the problems of long processing time, low productivity, and low precision associated with manual grinding in existing technologies. Furthermore, using robot-controlled grinding eliminates the health hazard caused by dust generated during manual grinding.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
