[0033] Example 1

[0034] The machining process flow of the ring of the micro angular contact ball bearing (P4 grade) structure in this example is: bar stock→ fine turning plane→ turning outer circle→ drilling→ fine turning cutting surface→ turning channel and straight slope→ inverting inner and outer angles→ heat treatment→ fine grinding plane→ rough grinding outer circle→ final grinding outer circle→ grinding outer ring inner circle→ channel and straight slope rough grinding→ low temperature supplementary tempering (stabilization treatment)→ channel and straight slope fine grinding→ channel and straight slope final grinding→ channel finishing→ grinding outer diameter→ typing→ submission

[0035] The grinding process for the grooves and slopes is as follows: First, the grooves and slopes are machined on the miniature angular contact ball bearing rings. Then, a diamond roller is used to dress the grinding wheel. Following this, the dressed grinding wheel is used to perform rough grinding, stabilization treatment, fine grinding, and final grinding of the grooves and slopes. The diamond roller has grooves and slopes of the same shape as the bearing. The dimensions of the grooves on the diamond roller are the same as the dimensions of the grooves designed on the bearing rings. The height of the slope on the diamond roller is 0.01 mm lower than the lowest point of the groove. After rough grinding, the remaining machining allowance for the grooves and slopes is 0.08 mm. After fine grinding, the remaining machining allowance is 0.04 mm. After final grinding, the remaining machining allowance for the grooves is 0.01 mm, and the remaining machining allowance for the slope is 0. The grinding wheel is a CBN270K grinding wheel, which uses cubic boron nitride abrasive with a grit size of 270 mesh and a medium-hardness (K grade). The CBN270K grinding wheel has high durability and good formability. The grinding of the grooves and straight slopes is performed on a 3MZ143 CNC bearing outer ring groove grinding machine. The stabilization treatment temperature is 135℃ and the time is 3 hours.

[0036] The process of groove finishing is as follows: the groove is finished using the dressing wheel after step one, with a finishing amount of 0.01 mm, until the surface roughness of the groove reaches 0.05 μm; the groove finishing is carried out on an SF11B finishing machine; the groove finishing uses a CBN5000ZXA oilstone;

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the diamond roller structure in Example 1; the straight slope on the diamond roller is lower than the groove, and 'a' is the height difference between the straight slope and the groove. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the angular contact ball bearing ring structure with grooves and a straight slope obtained in Example 1; the straight slope on the bearing ring is higher than the groove, and b is the height difference between the straight slope and the groove.

[0038] In this embodiment, the angular contact ball bearing raceway structure is a straight-slope locking structure with the straight slope higher than the raceway. Therefore, an integral grinding wheel forming and plunge grinding method are used. After fine grinding, the surface roughness of the raceway meets the design requirements, and the fine grinding amount is 0.01mm. Since straight-slope fine grinding is not performed, the raceway diameter is reduced after fine grinding, and the straight slope is higher than the raceway, meeting the locking requirements. This embodiment uses a two-cycle rough grinding and final grinding cycle, with stabilization treatment performed between the rough grinding and final grinding cycles to gradually improve accuracy and stability. The diamond roller used in this embodiment provides good consistency in the straight slope shape of the raceway, the CBN grinding wheel has high durability, and the CBN oilstone is used for fine grinding of the raceway, resulting in good formability. All quality requirements are met, significantly improving processing efficiency, increasing production capacity, and achieving a product quality pass rate of over 92%.
