Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the processing and forming of a bicycle transmission belt, in particular to a flying knife grinding wheel for a bicycle belt forming groove. Background Art

[0002] Traditional bicycles generally use chain drive, where the crank drives the front sprocket, and then the chain transfers the power from the front sprocket to the rear sprocket, driving the wheels to rotate. Chain drive has led to the rapid development of bicycles, but the chain needs to be lubricated regularly, otherwise it may rust, or the chain may become loose and fall off, making it difficult to install. There may also be noise problems. Alternative solutions based on chain drive, similar to automotive timing drives, can be replaced with synchronous belts. Many years ago, Gates introduced the use of belts instead of chains to drive bicycles. To ensure the alignment of the belts between the front and rear wheels, Gates designed a series of belts 200 with grooves 201 in the middle, which cooperate with the limiting edges in the middle of the bicycle pulley 100 as shown in the figure. Figure 1 , to prevent the belt from detaching from the pulley, but the current method of grinding is to grind the belt into grooves. The processing of the belt groove has problems such as hairiness. At the same time, too much accumulation of grinding chips will cause heat concentration, causing safety hazards. In addition, the tool is an integral assembly, and the blade is welded on the carrier. When the blade is damaged, it needs to be replaced as a whole, and the maintenance cost is high. This creation aims to provide a safe, high-quality, easy-to-maintain and low-cost grinding wheel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is based on the attached Figures 1 to 7 The utility model is described in detail.

[0022] The bicycle belt forming groove flying cutter grinding wheel is used to cut the bicycle belt forming groove 201, so as to achieve the purpose of fast forming groove processing, high precision and no hair.

[0023] Specifically, the flying knife grinding wheel includes a central shaft (not shown) connected to the driving power, which drives the flying knife grinding wheel to rotate, and the belt to be processed is driven to rotate by the belt driving device, and the two are in contact and rotate relative to each other to process the intermediate molding groove 201. The flying knife grinding wheel is installed on the central shaft as a whole through the carrier 20. The carrier 20 is a rotating body structure around the central shaft. The rotating body is preferably a rotating body composed of two or more diameters. The connection between the two diameters is a radially extending step surface for assembling different components. Preferably, a step surface is provided in the approximately middle part of the axial direction of the carrier to form a positioning surface for installing the cutter disc 10, so that the installed blade 40 is positioned in the middle position of the flying knife grinding wheel. The cutter disc 10 is an annular disc, which is sleeved on the carrier 20 through the center hole 14, and one of the side surfaces abuts against the positioning surface of the carrier. The cutter disc is circumferentially distributed with a plurality of cutter disc mounting holes 13, which are connected to the carrier through positioning pins or bolts. A recessed step is provided at the top of the outer end of one side of the cutter disc 10 close to the positioning surface to form a mounting groove 11. The mounting grooves 11 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction, and the number is N, N is greater than 12 and less than 30, preferably an even number of 20 to 24. It is used to install blades, and 20 to 24 blades are most preferred. The grooves formed by the cutting of the blades in this range are relatively smooth. The width of the mounting groove just accommodates the width of the blade, preventing the blade from rotating during work and affecting the cutting accuracy. Since the blade is relatively small, approximately 2 cm wide and 4 cm long, the mounting groove is used to limit the rotation of the blade, and only one blade mounting hole 43 can be provided on the blade, and the blade can be installed using a fastener. On the one hand, the blade mounting points are reduced, and the blade strength is improved; on the other hand, the blade can be quickly disassembled. The fastener can be a step bolt with a positioning platform, the step is used to locate the blade position, and the bolt end is fastened to the blade fixing hole 12 of the cutter disc. With the design of this structure, when the blade is worn to a certain extent, the blade can be replaced in time to prevent the grinding wheel from being abandoned as a whole, making the replacement and maintenance of the blade more convenient, and reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment. The blade 40 includes an upper blade 41 and a lower blade back 42. The blade and the blade back are an integrated structure, which is conducive to improving the overall rigidity of the blade and preventing the blade 41 from separating from the blade back 42 during operation, thereby improving the safety performance of the processing process. The blade back 42 is installed in the installation groove 11, and the blade 41 protrudes from the cutter disc 10 as a whole. Generally, the root of the blade protrudes slightly from the cutter disc by 2 to 3 mm for easy cutting. The height of the blade is determined according to the depth of the groove to be processed.

[0024] The blade includes the front blade 411 and the rear blade 412 along the central axis. During the processing, the front blade 411 first contacts the belt. The front blade includes a left blade 414 and a right blade 415 along the central axis. The tops of the left blade 414 and the right blade 415 are connected by a tangent line of an upper blade 416. The vertical section of the upper blade 416 is an arc, preferably a part of a circle. In order to prevent the vibration of the flying knife grinding wheel from causing the side surfaces of the blades on both sides to contact and rub against the belt, the radial tops of the left blade and the right blade are contracted inward, with an angle of 2 to 10 degrees, which effectively reduces the fuzziness of the groove. The radial outermost end of the blade gradually decreases from the front blade to the rear blade along the circumference of the carrier. For example, the radius of the axis is reduced by 1 to 5 mm to avoid the fuzziness caused by the top of the rear blade rubbing against the cutting groove.

[0025] The front blade 411 extends from the top of the upper blade to the back of the blade in an arc shape that is concave backward, so that the top of the blade forms an arc tip, which is conducive to cutting the belt and forming an arc cutting to avoid stress concentration in the forming groove and easy cracking. The arc tip transitions from top to bottom, with a smaller curvature at the top and a larger curvature at the bottom, forming a chip groove 413, which is easy to cut and easy to remove chips.

[0026] The carrier 20 is provided with carrier installation steps on both sides of the axial direction for installing the side disc 50 of the disc. The side disc 50 is higher than the blade 40, which protects the blade on the one hand and protects the safety of personnel on the other hand. In order to improve the heat dissipation performance and facilitate chip removal, the side disc 50 can be provided with a plurality of avoidance portions 51 in the circumferential direction. The avoidance portions 51 are staggered with the positions of the blade 40. The avoidance portions 51 are gaps extending approximately axially, and the bottom of the gap is slightly lower than the carrier 20. The gap is tilted backward from the top to the bottom in the radial direction, forming a forward tilt angle of 0 to 20 degrees, which is conducive to the timely discharge of chips during the rotation process.

[0027] The entire blade material can be made of tungsten steel to increase the durability of the blade.
