Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of polishing clamping equipment, and relates to an automatic rotary polishing machine and an automatic rotary polishing method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional polishing techniques mainly rely on manual labor or simple mechanical equipment, which has the following shortcomings: manual polishing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production; simple machinery is difficult to achieve uniform polishing, which can easily lead to scratches or uneven polishing on the tool surface, affecting tool life and performance, and its function is limited, making it difficult to achieve simultaneous polishing of multiple tools, requiring repeated operations and increasing labor costs.
[0003] Patent CN217750953U discloses a mirror polishing machine, including a chassis and an electrical control box located on the upper part of the chassis. The electrical control box contains a main reducer, and the output end of the main reducer is sequentially connected to a primary transmission system and a secondary transmission system. The secondary transmission system is located below the primary transmission system; a lifting mechanism is located below the secondary transmission system. However, this patent only uses a planetary gear system to achieve the workpiece's revolution around the sun gear, resulting in a single polishing motion mode, leading to uneven polishing and incomplete treatment of dead corners.
[0004] Patent CN105058216A discloses a multi-stage transmission finishing machine, including a column, a horizontal arm, and a grinding barrel. The horizontal arm is connected to a lifting system. A grinding device connected to the horizontal arm is located directly above the grinding barrel. The grinding device includes a drive motor, a spindle, a rotating system, and a gripper. The rotating system includes a primary planetary gear rotating system and a secondary planetary gear rotating system. The drive motor drives the primary planetary gear rotating system to rotate via the spindle. The primary planetary gear rotating system drives the secondary planetary gear rotating system to rotate. The secondary planetary gear rotating system drives the gripper to rotate. However, this patent uses a "gripper" as the workpiece clamping structure, which lacks adaptability to irregularly shaped and small-sized workpieces, and the clamping method is not convenient or stable enough.

Combined with the transmission of the lifting component, the workpiece can move up and down, control the workpiece's entry and exit from the abrasive barrel, and make the workpiece polish more uniform, thereby improving the workpiece's performance and service life, and saving manpower and material resources. (2) The present invention is provided with multiple secondary gear assemblies, and each secondary gear assembly can be loaded with multiple workpiece holders, which can realize the simultaneous polishing of multiple workpieces, greatly improving production efficiency and saving time and cost; (3) In this invention, the first-stage gear assembly is achieved by adding a fixed first-stage internal gear on the outer layer and rotating the first-stage sun gear to realize the rotation and revolution of the first-stage planetary gear. In the second-stage gear assembly, the second-stage sun gear is fixed and the second-stage gear mounting plate is rotated to realize the rotation and revolution of the second-stage planetary gear.

(4) The present invention adopts a workpiece holder with a flexible clamping block pair with adjustable spacing, friction pad and spring combination structure, which can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, clamping quickly and stably, avoiding damage caused by the workpiece not being positioned during the polishing process; in addition, the flexible clamping block pair is connected to the centering disk through symmetrical connecting rods and has a self-centering function. (5) The components of the present invention are easy to install and have a simple structure, which can meet the needs of various production situations. It can make polishing technology easier to integrate into production practice and has a profound impact on the development of polishing technology and even the prosperity of the entire manufacturing industry.

The secondary sun gear 27 is fixed, and the primary output shaft 13 drives the secondary gear mounting plate 33 to rotate, causing the secondary planetary gear 29 and flower-shaped gear 26 to rotate in the same direction. The relative position of the secondary planetary gear 29 and the secondary gear mounting plate 33 is fixed, realizing the rotation and revolution of the secondary planetary gear 29. like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the secondary gear assembly also includes an assembly sleeve 24, an assembly sleeve bearing seat 25, and an assembly sleeve bearing. The secondary sun gear 27 is fixedly connected to the primary gear mounting plate 20 via the assembly sleeve 24, ensuring that the secondary sun gear 27 is relatively stationary relative to the primary gear mounting plate 20. The assembly sleeve bearing seat 25 is fixedly provided on the patterned surface of the patterned wheel 26, and the assembly sleeve bearing is sleeved on the assembly sleeve bearing seat 25. The lower part of the assembly sleeve 24 is rotatably connected to the patterned surface of the patterned wheel 26 via the assembly sleeve bearing. The patterned surface of the patterned wheel 26 can reduce material and overall weight while ensuring structural strength. The assembly sleeve bearing seat 25 provides support force, and the assembly sleeve bearing ensures smooth rotation between the patterned wheel 26 and the primary gear mounting plate 20, thereby reducing the transmission resistance when the patterned wheel 26 rotates. The middle and lower part of the primary output shaft 13 extends into the assembly sleeve 24, the assembly sleeve bearing, the patterned wheel 26, and the secondary sun gear 27 but is not connected. The secondary sun gear 27 does not rotate with the primary output shaft 13. In this embodiment, the assembly shaft bearing is selected as an angular contact ball bearing to withstand the axial force generated by the gravity of the flower wheel 26 on the assembly shaft bearing, as well as the radial force generated by the rotation of the secondary gear mounting plate 33 driving the flower wheel 26 to rotate around the secondary sun gear 27 on the assembly shaft bearing. The secondary planetary gear 29 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the secondary output shaft 28 via a keyway; like Figures 12 to 14As shown, the assembly shaft cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the first-stage gear mounting plate 20 via an upper wedge 21, a middle wedge 22, and a lower wedge 23.

The upper part of the assembly shaft cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the upper wedge 21 and the lower wedge 23 via a pin through the middle wedge 22. After connecting the upper wedge 21 and the lower wedge 23, the middle wedge 22 is embedded to increase the vertical fixing force between the structures and facilitate the locking of the upper and lower structures. After the upper wedge 21 and the lower wedge 23 are combined, two short pins are used instead of one long pin for fixing to avoid interference with the first-stage output shaft 13 in the middle of the assembly shaft cylinder 24; like Figure 15 As shown, the secondary gear assembly also includes a limiting connecting sleeve 31. The limiting connecting sleeve 31 is fixedly installed on the secondary gear mounting plate 33.

In this embodiment, the secondary output shaft bearing 30 is selected as an angular contact ball bearing to bear the axial force generated by the gravity of the secondary planetary gear 29 on the secondary output shaft bearing 30, as well as the radial force generated by the rotation of the secondary gear mounting plate 33 driving the secondary planetary gear 29 to rotate around the secondary sun gear 27 on the secondary output shaft bearing 30. like Figure 17 As shown, the secondary output shaft 28 is fixedly connected to the workpiece holder, and the rotation and double revolution of the workpiece 42 on the workpiece holder are realized by the rotation of the secondary planetary gear 29 relative to the primary sun gear 14. The workpiece holder includes a clamping head 35, a secondary clamping head 38, a centering disc 36, a connecting rod 37, a flexible clamping block 39, a secondary flexible clamping block 40, and a friction pad 41. The lower part of the secondary output shaft 28 passes through the secondary gear mounting plate 33 and extends into the upper cavity formed by the merging of the clamping head 35 and the secondary clamping head 38. It is fixedly connected to the clamping head 35 and the secondary clamping head 38 by a pin.

In this embodiment, the friction pad 41 is made of sponge; like Figure 18 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lead screw 3, a slide table 2, and a guide rail 4. The corresponding driver 45 of the lifting assembly is connected to the lead screw 3. The slide table 2 is mounted on the lead screw 3 to form a ball screw structure. The slide table 2 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing connecting piece 6. The two sides of the slide table 2 are locked on the guide rail 4. The main components of the connecting assembly, the first-stage gear assembly, the second-stage gear assembly, and the workpiece holder are moved up and down by the rotation of the lead screw 3. like Figure 19 As shown, the lead screw 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 5 through two upper and lower lead screw positioning blocks 43. The optical axis of the lead screw 3 extends into the lead screw positioning block 43 and is fastened at the end by a nut. The guide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the frame 5 through two upper and lower guide rail clamps 1. In this embodiment, one primary sun gear 14 corresponds to three primary planetary gears 18, that is, three secondary sun gears 27, and one secondary sun gear 27 corresponds to six secondary planetary gears 29, that is, six sets of workpiece holders. One set of workpiece holders carries one workpiece 42, and the workpiece 42 is a cutting tool. Unless otherwise specified, screws are used for fixed connections to ensure a secure connection, and steel is used for the structural material.
[0031] Example 2: An automatic rotary polishing method, using the polishing machine described in Example 1 to perform rotary polishing of tools and workpieces, includes the following specific steps: First, the driver 45 corresponding to the lifting assembly is operated to move the workpiece 42 upward, replacing the workpiece 42 that needs to be polished. Then, the driver 45 corresponding to the connecting assembly is activated to provide driving force to the input shaft 12, which drives the first-stage sun gear 14 to rotate, causing the first-stage planetary gear 18 to rotate on its own axis and revolve around the sun. At the same time, the rotation of the first-stage planetary gear 18 drives the second-stage gear mounting plate 33 to rotate through the first-stage output shaft 13, causing the second-stage planetary gear 29 to revolve around the sun. Meanwhile, the second-stage sun gear 27 remains stationary, causing the second-stage planetary gear 29 to rotate on its own axis. The rotation of the second-stage planetary gear 29 drives the workpiece holder to rotate through the second-stage output shaft 28, thereby realizing the rotation and double revolution of the workpiece 42. Finally, the driver 45 corresponding to the lifting assembly is operated again to move the workpiece 42 down to a suitable position to contact the polishing sand below for polishing.
