Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grooving technology, specifically to a vertical grooving machine, which is particularly suitable for high-precision grooving of hollow thin-walled tubular parts such as automotive steering shafts. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the machining of grooves in hollow thin-walled shaft parts mainly adopts two methods: traditional turning groove process and high-end rotary forging process. For example, the machining of automotive steering shafts. As the core safety component of the automotive steering system, the machining accuracy and mechanical properties of the steering shaft directly determine the handling stability and driving safety of the vehicle.

[0003] Traditional machining processes form grooves by cutting away material, which has several drawbacks when processing thin-walled shaft products: First, the cutting force can easily cause deformation and breakage of thin-walled parts, resulting in a low product qualification rate; second, the machining process generates a large number of burrs and annular iron filings, which are easily stuck in the groove and difficult to clean, increasing the cost of subsequent processes; third, cutting will cut off the metal flow lines, significantly reducing the mechanical strength of the groove area, which cannot meet the performance requirements of high-end automotive parts.

[0004] While high-end rotary forging machines can achieve high-precision non-cutting machining, their equipment costs are high, often amounting to millions of yuan, and their maintenance costs are also high, making it difficult for them to be widely used in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.

[0005] In addition, existing steering shaft processing production lines generally use manual loading and unloading, which results in low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and safety hazards. When the material to be processed has length errors, manual loading cannot accurately adjust the clamping position, leading to deviations in the groove processing position, which seriously affects product consistency and processing accuracy.

[0006] Therefore, developing a vertical grooving machine that combines high precision, low cost, high automation, and adaptability to material length errors has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a vertical grooving machine, which mainly solves the problems of easy product damage, burr and iron filings, low strength, and high cost of high-end rotary forging machines in traditional grooving processes; in addition, it also solves the problems of low automation and material length error affecting processing accuracy in existing equipment.

[0008] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0009] This invention discloses a vertical grooving machine, comprising a grooving machine module. The module includes a rotary chuck, grippers, a spinning forming wheel, a spinning wheel, and two sets of tool support and movement mechanisms. The rotary chuck is mounted on the machine body and is used to clamp the lower end of the product to be processed and drive the product to rotate at high speed. The grippers are positioned above the rotary chuck and are used to hold the upper part of the product. The grippers are equipped with roller structures, allowing the product to rotate freely even after being held. The two sets of tool support and movement mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the product clamping position. Each set includes a horizontal linear module and a tool support frame. The spinning forming wheel and the spinning wheel are rotatably mounted on the two sets of tool support frames. The horizontal linear module drives the tool support frame to move horizontally, precisely adjusting the feed distance between the spinning wheel and the product.

[0010] The outer circumference of the spinning forming wheel is provided with groove-shaped protrusions that perfectly match the shape of the groove to be processed. Both the spinning forming wheel and the spinning wheel are provided with extrusion sections located above and below the groove-shaped protrusions. During processing, the product rotates at high speed, and the spinning wheels on both sides feed synchronously. The groove-shaped protrusions extrude the outer wall of the product, causing the material to flow radially inward to form the groove. The upper and lower extrusion sections simultaneously adhere to the surface of the product, restricting the axial flow of the material, ensuring the forming accuracy of the groove, and preventing bulging deformation at the shoulder areas on the upper and lower sides of the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the vertical grooving machine also includes a door, which is equipped with a digital display operation panel. The opening and closing of the door can realize the closure and opening of the processing area, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation.

[0012] Furthermore, the spinning forming wheel and the spinning wheel are mounted on the tool support frame via a tool support arm. The tool support arm and the tool support frame are connected by bolts or other detachable means, which allows for quick replacement of spinning wheel assemblies of different specifications, enabling the processing of different models of products and improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, a vertical linear module is installed on the tool support frame, and both the spinning forming wheel and the spinning wheel are connected to the vertical linear module. The processing height of the spinning wheel can be adjusted to meet the groove processing requirements of products of different lengths.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a conveying module to realize automatic loading and unloading of products. The conveying module includes a support frame, a conveying pipe, multiple sets of conveying power components, and a unloading component. The conveying pipe is coaxially arranged with the processing station, and the conveying power components are symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the conveying pipe. Each set of conveying power components includes a swing arm, a conveying roller, a swing arm elastic support, and a roller drive motor. One end of the swing arm is hinged to the support frame, and the other end is equipped with the conveying roller and drive motor. The swing arm elastic support ensures that the conveying roller is always in close contact with the outer wall of the product, realizing adaptive conveying of products with different diameters. The unloading component includes a channel set on the conveying pipe and a pushing component. After processing, the vertical linear module drives the spinning roller to lift the product to the channel height, and the pushing component pushes the product out of the conveying pipe to complete the unloading.

[0015] Furthermore, at least two sets of positioning components are provided at the lower part of the conveying pipe, and an elastic support module is provided at the clamping center hole of the rotary chuck. The positioning components include positioning rollers, a swing arm drive motor, a positioning swing arm, and a limiting structure. The elastic support module includes a support plate and an elastic body. During loading, the product is conveyed to the top of the rotary chuck by the conveying power component, and its lower end rests on the support plate. The swing arm drive motor drives the positioning swing arm to rotate downward, and the positioning roller presses down on the upper end of the product until the positioning swing arm contacts the limiting structure. If there is a length error in the product, the elastic body is compressed to ensure that the distance from the upper end of the product to the processing groove remains constant, thereby achieving length error compensation and ensuring processing accuracy. After the product is clamped, the positioning swing arm resets, and the positioning roller disengages from the product to avoid rotational wear.

[0016] Furthermore, the limiting structure is used to limit the maximum angle of downward rotation of the positioning swing arm.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding assembly adopts a push rod (in contact with the product) or a high-pressure air nozzle (not in contact with the product).

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] By adopting a non-cutting spinning process, no burrs or iron filings are generated, eliminating the need for subsequent cleaning procedures. The processing does not interrupt the metal flow lines, and the mechanical strength of the groove part far exceeds that of cutting processing. It also does not reduce the thickness of the product wall, solving the problem of easy damage in the processing of thin-walled parts. The processing accuracy can reach ±0.05mm.

[0020] The equipment has a simple structure, and its manufacturing cost is only 1 / 10 to 1 / 5 of that of a high-end rotary forging machine. It also has low maintenance costs, making it suitable for promotion and application by small and medium-sized enterprises.

[0021] By equipping the system with automatic conveying, positioning, and unloading modules, fully automated production is achieved, resulting in a shorter production cycle and efficiency that is more than three times higher than manual loading and unloading, while also reducing labor intensity and safety hazards.

[0022] The innovative positioning mechanism, which combines elastic support with positioning rollers, can automatically compensate for material length errors, ensure the consistency of the tank's processing position, and significantly improve the product qualification rate.

[0023] The equipment features a detachable tool support arm and an adjustable-height vertical linear module, making it highly versatile and adaptable to the processing of various specifications of hollow thin-walled tubular parts. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The following is combined with Figures 1-8 The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] A vertical grooving machine of the present invention, such as Figures 1-3 This invention designs a vertical grooving machine for grooving hollow thin-walled tubular parts. This embodiment uses the forming process of an automotive steering shaft as an example. It should be noted that this equipment is not limited to processing steering shafts 2, but can be used for any hollow thin-walled tubular part requiring grooving. Figure 3 The steering shaft 2 needs to be formed by groove 21. The groove 21 has a bearing stop 23 and a tapered part 24 above it and a guide stop 22 below it.

[0042] The vertical grooving machine for automotive steering shafts includes a grooving machine module 1, which includes a machine body, a rotating chuck 11, grippers 12, a spinning forming wheel 13, a spinning wheel 14, a horizontal linear module 15, a tool support arm 16, a tool support frame 17, and a door 18.

[0043] like Figure 2The machine body is equipped with a rotary chuck 11, which is used to clamp the lower end of the steering shaft 2 and drive the steering shaft 2 to rotate. The rotary chuck 11 is preferably a pneumatic chuck, which is used to clamp the lower end of the steering shaft 2 and drive it to rotate at a set speed. The machine body is equipped with a door 18 that can be opened and closed, and a digital display operation panel is provided on the door 18. The machine body is equipped with a jaw 12 located on the upper side of the rotary chuck 11. The jaw 12 is used to clamp the upper part of the steering shaft 2. The jaw 12 is preferably a hydraulic or self-centering two-jaw jaw. The jaw 12 is provided with three sets of roller structures 121 for contacting the steering shaft 2. The rollers can rotate freely and are respectively located at the jaw body on both sides and the jaw body of the jaw 12 that contacts the rear side of the steering shaft 2, so that the steering shaft 2 can still rotate after being clamped.

[0044] The upper and lower parts of the steering shaft 2 are fixed by the clamp 12 and the rotating chuck 11, respectively.

[0045] Two sets of tool support moving mechanisms are symmetrically installed on the machine body. The tool support moving mechanism includes a horizontal linear module 15 installed on the machine body, a tool support frame 17 installed on the horizontal linear module 15, a tool support arm 16 installed on the tool support frame 17, and a slide rail protective cover 151 connected to the tool support frame 17. The slide rail protective cover 151 is used to cover the slide rail of the horizontal linear module 15 to prevent iron filings and dust from entering.

[0046] The spinning forming wheel 13 and the spinning wheel 14 are rotatably mounted on the tool support arms 16 on both sides.

[0047] Preferably, the tool support arm 16 and the tool support frame 17 are detachably connected, such as by bolts, so that tool support arms 16 with different types of spinning wheels can be easily replaced and installed to realize the processing of different products.

[0048] The horizontal linear module 15 is used to drive the tool support frame 17 to move, adjust the distance between the spinning forming wheel 13, the spinning wheel 14 and the steering shaft 2, and precisely control the feed amount of the spinning wheel.

[0049] like Figure 3 The spinning forming wheel 13 includes a bearing stop extrusion part 132, a groove contouring protrusion 131, and a guide stop extrusion part 133 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The groove contouring protrusion 131 is used to extrude the steering shaft 2 to form the groove 21.

[0050] The spinning wheel 14 includes a conical clearance part 143, a bearing blocking pressing part 141, and a guide blocking pressing part 142 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0051] The door 18 is hinged to the machine body. The door is equipped with a digital display control panel, which can set parameters such as the rotation speed of the rotary chuck and the feed speed of the spinning wheel. When the door is closed, it can seal off the processing area to prevent foreign objects from flying out and injuring people during the processing.

[0052] In this embodiment, manual loading and unloading or a six-axis robotic arm loading and unloading method is used.

[0053] Forming principle: The worker clamps the lower end of the steering shaft 2 to be processed using a rotary chuck 11, and the upper end using a jaw 12. The rotary chuck 11 drives the steering shaft 2 to rotate at a preset speed. The horizontal linear modules 15 on both sides drive the spinning forming wheels 13 and 14 to gradually approach the steering shaft 2. When the spinning forming wheels 13 and 14 come into contact with the steering shaft 2, the steering shaft 2 drives the spinning forming wheels 13 and 14 to rotate. At the same time, the spinning forming wheels 13 and 14 approach the steering shaft 2 at a preset speed. At this time, the R-groove... The contoured protrusion 131 gradually forms a groove 21 on the steering shaft 2, and at the same time forms a radially extending bulge inside the steering shaft 2. The bearing stop extrusion part and guide stop extrusion part on the spinning forming wheel 13 and spinning wheel 14 respectively fit with the bearing stop 23 and guide stop 22 on the steering shaft 2 to prevent the bearing stop 23 and guide stop 22 from bulging and deforming, so that the material of the steering shaft 2 flows radially and restricts the axial flow of the material, forming a bulge inward in the radial direction. The conical avoidance part 143 needs to avoid the conical part 24 to prevent deformation of the conical part 24.

[0054] It should be noted that the two sides of the groove 21 on the steering shaft 2 are bearing stops and guide stops. On other shafts, it can be an area for installing any other structure. The bearing stop extrusion part and guide stop extrusion part set in this solution are only to ensure the radial flow of material, and are not limited to extruding bearing stops and guide stops.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] Unlike Example 1, this example uses an automatic loading and unloading method and can adapt to the positioning and processing of tubes with certain length errors.

[0057] like Figures 4-8 This embodiment includes a grooving machine module 1 and a conveying module 3. The grooving machine module 1 is based on embodiment 1 and adds an elastic support module 4 and a vertical straight module 19.

[0058] like Figure 6The elastic support module 4 includes a support plate 41 and an elastic body 42 disposed at the clamping center hole of the rotary chuck 11. The elastic body 42 is preferably a spring. The force required to compress the spring is at least 1.2 times greater than the pressure exerted by the tube 5 on the support plate 41. The support plate 41 is mounted on the bottom wall of the clamping center hole by the spring. Preferably, the support plate 41 is provided with a guide rod, and the bottom wall of the clamping center hole is provided with a guide hole for the guide rod to be inserted.

[0059] The vertical linear module 19 is mounted on the tool support frame 17, and the tool support arm 16 is connected to the vertical linear module 19. The vertical linear module 19 is used to drive the tool support arm 16 to move in the vertical direction.

[0060] The conveying module 3 includes a support 31, a conveying pipe 32, a conveying power component 33, a positioning component 34, and a feeding component 35.

[0061] The support 31 and the conveying pipe 32 are positioned above the gripper 12. One end of the conveying pipe 32 opens towards the gripper 12, and the other end connects to mechanisms such as a pusher plate feeding mechanism or a pipe material conveying line. Alternatively, the pipe material can be manually fed into the conveying pipe 32. In this embodiment, the conveying pipe 32 is a square tube with a diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the pipe material 5. Its axis coincides with the clamping axis of the rotating chuck 11. Figure 8 The conveying pipe 32 has openings on both the left and right sides, allowing the conveying rollers 332 in the conveying power assembly 33 to enter and contact the outer wall of the pipe 5.

[0062] Several sets of conveying power components 33 are set up and symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the conveying pipeline 32, and evenly arranged along the extension direction of the conveying pipeline 32.

[0063] The conveying power assembly 33 includes a swing arm 331, a conveying roller 332, a swing arm elastic support 333, and a roller drive motor 334. One end of the swing arm 331 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 31, and the other end of the swing arm 331 is equipped with the roller drive motor 334 and the conveying roller 332 connected thereto. The outer surface material of the conveying roller 332 can be a flexible material with a certain friction, such as a rubber coating, so that it can fit tightly against the outer wall of the pipe 5 to achieve conveying. The swing arm elastic support 333 is preferably a spring, with one end connected to the bracket 31 and the other end connected to the swing arm 331. The swing arm elastic support 333 is used to realize the adaptive distance between the conveying roller 332 and the pipe 5.

[0064] The positioning component 34 is located at the lower part of the conveying pipe 32, below all the conveying power components 33.

[0065] The positioning component 34 includes a positioning roller 341, a swing arm drive motor 342, a limiting structure 343, a positioning swing arm 344, and a roller drive motor. The structure of the positioning component 34 is similar to that of the conveying power component 33. The difference is that the positioning swing arm 344 in the positioning component 34 is adjusted by the swing arm drive motor 342. One end of the positioning swing arm 344 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 31, and the other end is equipped with a roller drive motor and a positioning roller 341 connected to it. The outer surface material of the positioning roller 341 is a hard material, such as rigid polyurethane, to ensure positioning accuracy and wear resistance. This ensures that the pipe material 5 can be smoothly conveyed while also pressing down and positioning the pipe material 5.

[0066] In the initial state, both the positioning arm 344 and the arm 331 have the end with the roller tilted upwards.

[0067] The limiting structure 343 is mounted on the bracket 31 to limit the maximum downward rotation angle of the positioning swing arm 344.

[0068] The feeding assembly 35 includes a channel 351 and a pushing assembly 352, such as Figure 8 Channel 351 is a through hole set on the front and rear sides of the conveying pipe 32. The rear channel 351 is a discharge port for the pipe material 5 to fall. The rear channel 351 can be connected to the material frame, product flow channel and other structures to collect materials. The front channel 351 is used for the pushing component 352 to apply a force to the pipe material 5 in the direction of the rear channel 351. The pushing component 352 can be a pneumatic / electric push rod, high-pressure air nozzle and other structures that can generate horizontal thrust.

[0069] Workflow:

[0070] Feeding steps: The previous process feeds a single pipe material 5 into the conveying pipe 32. The conveying power unit 33 conveys the pipe material 5 downward. The roller drive motor 334 drives the conveying roller 332 to rotate. The conveying roller 332 contacts the pipe material 5 to realize the conveying.

[0071] Positioning Steps: After the lower end of the tube 5 falls onto the support plate 41, the side of the tube 5 disengages from the positioning roller 341, and the positioning roller 341 is positioned above the tube 5. The swing arm drive motor 342 drives the positioning swing arm 344 to rotate downwards. Figure 7The positioning roller 341 contacts the upper end face of the tube 5 and presses it down until the positioning swing arm 344 contacts the limiting structure 343. If there is an error in the length of the tube 5, the lower end of the tube 5 presses against the support plate 41 after the positioning roller 341 presses down, which compresses the spring on the lower side of the support plate 41, thereby ensuring that the length from the upper end of the tube 5 to the position of the groove 21 to be processed is uniform and ensuring the subsequent processing accuracy. If the tube 5 is of standard length, after its lower end contacts the support plate 41, the positioning swing arm 344 rotates to contact the limiting structure 343. At this time, the positioning roller 341 just contacts the upper end of the tube 5 and does not compress the spring on the lower part of the support plate 41.

[0072] The above positioning steps are applicable to material positioning with the upper end of pipe 5 as the positioning reference.

[0073] Processing steps: Based on the steps in Example 1, after the lower end of the tube 5 is clamped by the rotating chuck 11 and the upper end is clamped by the gripper 12, the swing arm drive motor 342 drives the positioning swing arm 344 to rotate upward, so that the positioning roller 341 is disengaged from the upper end of the tube 5, thus avoiding wear on the positioning roller 341 caused by the rotation of the tube 5.

[0074] Unloading Steps: After processing, the spinning forming wheel 13, spinning wheel 14, and the processed tube 5 move upward together to a set height, so that the tube 5 moves to the height position of the positioning roller 341. The swing arm drive motor 342 drives the positioning swing arm 344 to rotate downward at a set angle, so that the positioning roller 341 contacts the outer two sides of the tube 5. The roller drive motor drives the positioning roller 341 to rotate, which, together with the conveying power component 33, makes the tube 5 move upward. The tube 5 stops after moving to the channel 351. The pushing component 352 applies a horizontal pushing force to the tube 5, so that the tube 5 is discharged from the other side channel 351, completing the unloading. The roller reverses to perform the next loading.

[0075] In this embodiment, automatic loading and unloading of materials is realized, which improves efficiency and reduces safety hazards compared with manual loading and unloading. It can also position the materials while loading to ensure the accuracy of subsequent processing.

[0076] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
