Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of main bearing processing, in particular to a main bearing ring arc surface 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 the connection between the beginning and the end, which is also called a 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. Under the action of the alternating load for a long time, the soft band area will fail first, so 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 the form of 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 manually polishing with a handheld polisher. In addition, manual polishing has the problems of high labor intensity, low work efficiency, low safety, poor protection, poor product consistency, etc., and it is difficult to ensure the polishing quality of the soft band, especially for the polishing of the soft band of a large 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. In addition, the main bearing of the heading machine is relatively large in size, and if a machine tool is used for grinding, a large special machine tool needs to be customized to meet the machining conditions, which has high cost investment and occupies a large space.

[0004] In summary, a main bearing ring arc surface 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, and to solve the problems of high cost and large space occupation caused by machine tool grinding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] Embodiment: Referring to Figs. 1-3 A main bearing ring arc surface soft band polishing method is used for polishing the arc surface soft band area of the raceway of a main bearing ring 100 in the radial direction, and comprises the following steps. Step S1, determining a polishing path; Firstly, the arc surface soft band area is divided into a soft band middle area and a soft band transition area; the soft band transition area is two, and is located on the left end and the right end of the soft band middle area respectively; the hardness of the soft band transition area is greater than that of the soft band middle area, and there is a soft-hard junction point between them; Secondly, the middle point of the soft band middle area is marked as a polishing point M3, the left end point and the right end point of the soft band middle area are marked as polishing points M2 and M4 respectively, the left end point of the soft band transition area on the left end of the soft band middle area is marked as a polishing point M1, and the right end point of the soft band transition area on the right end of the soft band middle area is marked as a polishing point M5; wherein a first straight line path is adopted for polishing in the area from the polishing point M1 to the polishing point M2, an arc line path is adopted for polishing in the area from the polishing point M2 to the polishing point M4, and a second straight line path is adopted for polishing in the area from the polishing point M4 to the polishing point M5; Step S2, a first polishing piece (specifically a diamond grinding wheel, material is electroplated CBN) is controlled by a robot to reciprocatingly polish the arc surface soft band area according to the first straight line path, the arc line path and the second straight line path, specifically, the reciprocating polishing mode from the polishing point M1 to the polishing point M5 and then from the polishing point M5 to the polishing point M1 is adopted for polishing; when the polishing depth of the soft band middle area and the soft band transition area is the target depth H, the polishing is stopped; wherein the feeding speed of the first polishing piece on the first straight line path and the feeding speed on the second straight line path are 0.375 times of the feeding speed on the arc line path, which is considering that a smaller feeding speed is needed in the soft band transition area with greater hardness, i.e. the first straight line path and the second straight line path, to ensure that the polishing depth is met, and a larger feeding speed is needed in the soft band middle area with smaller hardness, i.e. the arc line path, to avoid over-polishing.

[0020] The chord length corresponding to the soft band intermediate region is A (the value of the chord length A is 50 mm), the chord length corresponding to the soft band transition region is B (the value of the chord length B is 15 mm), and the chord length corresponding to the arc surface soft band region is L (the value of the chord length L is 80 mm); A two-dimensional coordinate system is established with the polishing site M3 as the coordinate origin, wherein the center direction of the circle of the polishing site M3 radially towards the main bearing ring 100 is the positive direction of the X axis, and the direction of the soft band transition region to the right of the polishing site M3 is the positive direction of the Y axis; the coordinates of the polishing sites M1 to M5 are recorded as (x1, y0-L / 2), (x2, y0-A / 2), (x0, y0), (x2, y0+A / 2) and (x1, y0+L / 2) in sequence; the values of x1 and x2 are obtained by measurement; The coordinates of the polishing sites M1 to M5 are introduced into the control program (existing program) of the robot, and the first straight line equation, i.e., the first straight line path, is determined in combination with the polishing site M1 (x1, y0-L / 2) and the polishing site M2 (x2, y0-A / 2); the circular arc equation, i.e., the arc line path, is determined in combination with the polishing site M2 (x2, y0-A / 2), the polishing site M4 (x2, y0+A / 2) and the center coordinate (x3, y0); wherein the value of x3 is obtained by measurement; and the second straight line equation, i.e., the second straight line path, is determined in combination with the polishing site M4 (x2, y0+A / 2) and the polishing site M5 (x1, y0+L / 2).

[0021] In the polishing of the first straight line path, the rotational speed of the electric spindle of the first polishing piece is 5000 r / min, the feed speed is 15 mm / s, and the grinding amount is 0.03 mm / time.

[0022] In the polishing of the second straight line path, the rotational speed of the electric spindle of the first polishing piece is 5000 r / min, the feed speed is 15 mm / s, and the grinding amount is 0.03 mm / time.

[0024] The soft band intermediate region is polished to a target depth H of 0.4 mm, and the soft band transition region is polished to a target depth H of 0.3 mm.

[0025] The main bearing ring arc surface soft band polishing method further comprises post-processing; the post-processing comprises sequentially adopting a robot to control a second polishing piece (specifically, a thousand-leaf wheel, and the material is sandpaper) and a third polishing piece (specifically, a polishing wheel, and the material is fiber) to polish the entire arc surface soft band area. Specifically, the polishing path of the second polishing piece in polishing is polishing twice in the direction from M1 to M5, which is used to improve the roughness of the arc surface soft band area L to meet the requirement; wherein the shape of the thousand-leaf wheel is that a plurality of sandpapers are spliced in the same direction, and the polishing is performed in the reverse direction of the sandpaper splicing direction, the sandpaper may be fluffy, and the polishing effect is poor, so the polishing of the thousand-leaf wheel in this embodiment is performed in the direction of the sandpaper splicing direction, that is, in the direction from M1 to M5. The polishing path of the third polishing piece in polishing is reciprocating polishing once from M1 to M5 and then from M5 to M1, which is used to remove the tiny impurities of the arc surface soft band area L and improve the smoothness and brightness of the arc surface soft band area L.

[0026] The electric spindle speed of the second polishing piece is 4000 r / min, the feed speed is 40 mm / s, and the grinding amount is 0.003 mm / time.

[0027] The electric spindle speed of the third polishing piece is 3000 r / min, the feed speed is 50 mm / s, and the grinding amount is 0.001 mm.

[0028] The embodiment adopts the combined polishing path of the first straight line path, the arc line path and the second straight line path, and controls the differential setting of the feed speed, which can quickly polish the soft-hard junction in the arc surface soft band area on one hand, and quickly and accurately polish the soft band transition area and the soft band middle area to the target depth H on the other hand, and can also complete the polishing of the arc surface soft band area of the main bearing ring 100 of different sizes on the other hand. The embodiment adopts post-processing to improve the accuracy, roughness, smoothness and brightness of the polishing of the arc surface soft band area of the main bearing ring 100.
