Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of grinding tools, in particular to a grinding tool for a needle bed base. Background Art

[0002] When the computerized flat knitting machine is in operation, the head bearing will reciprocate on the guide rail, so the machining surface roughness of the guide rail on the needle bed base must be within Ra1.6. The better the roughness, the less noise during operation. However, due to the insufficient rigidity of the needle bed base itself and the wear of the milling cutter blade, vibration will occur during the machining of the guide rail, resulting in uneven knife marks on the guide rail surface and poor roughness. Therefore, after the machining is completed, a guide rail grinding process will be added. The existing grinding process is manual grinding. First, use 80-mesh coarse sandpaper to grind back and forth on the surface of the guide rail until the arc-shaped knife marks on the surface of the guide rail are all turned into straight lines, and then use 120-mesh fine sandpaper for fine grinding to make the straight lines uniform and delicate. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the overall grinding is uneven, and the labor cost is extremely high. Utility Model Content

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the utility model embodiment includes:

[0020] A needle bed base grinding tool, the needle bed base grinding tool is used for grinding the guide rails 102 on both sides of the needle bed base 1, and the needle bed base grinding tool comprises: a linear cylinder 2, a cylinder bracket 4 and a grinding frame 3;

[0021] There are two cylinder brackets 4, which are respectively fixed at both ends of the needle bed base 4. The linear cylinder 2 is installed between the two cylinder brackets 4. The length of the linear cylinder 2 is greater than the length of the needle bed base 1. The grinding frame 3 is connected to the power output end of the linear cylinder 2, and can reciprocate in the direction determined by the linear cylinder 2 under the drive of the linear cylinder 2. Two C-shaped grinding blocks 304 are symmetrically installed on the grinding frame 3. The two C-shaped grinding blocks 304 are respectively clamped on the guide rails 102 on both sides of the needle bed base 1. The inner side of the C-shaped grinding block 304 is a grinding surface, and grinding emery cloth is installed between the grinding surface and the corresponding guide rail 102 surface.

[0022] The grinding frame 3 also includes an outer frame 301, a push plate 302, a driving block 303 and an extension arm. The outer frame 301 is a semi-enclosed frame structure. The push plate 302 is fixedly mounted at the opening of the outer frame 301, and the outer frame 301 forms a closed frame structure and is sleeved on the cylinder body of the linear cylinder 2. One side of the driving block 303 is fixed on the push plate 302, and the other side is connected to the power output mechanism of the linear cylinder 2. The extension arm is symmetrically arranged along the contour of the needle plate base 1, and the C-shaped grinding block 304 is installed at the top of the extension arm. Through this structure, in actual work, the linear cylinder 2 can drive the entire grinding frame 3 to reciprocate linearly through the power output mechanism, thereby driving the two C-shaped grinding blocks 304 to reciprocate and grind on the guide rail 102 to complete the grinding action, and the outer frame 301 can wrap the linear cylinder 2 together with the push plate 302 to prevent the driving block 303 from being out of contact with the power output end of the linear cylinder 2 during the movement.

[0023] The extension arm includes an upper arm frame 306, a lower arm frame 307 and an arm plate 305. One end of the upper arm frame 306 is fixed below the outer frame 301, and the other end is connected to the arm plate 305. One end of the lower arm frame 307 is connected to the arm plate 305, and the other end is connected to the C-shaped grinding block 304. The reason why the extension arm adopts a three-stage connection structure is that the end position of the extension arm is subjected to a relatively large force due to torque during the actual grinding process, and it is reciprocating force, so it is easy to be damaged. If the three-stage connection structure is used, if damage occurs, only the damaged position of the front end needs to be replaced to prevent affecting the rest of the extension arm. In addition, the three-stage connection structure has good elasticity, which can buffer the impact of violent reciprocating motion and further improve the overall service life.

[0024] The inner side of the C-shaped grinding block 304 is also provided with an inner block 308. The inner block 308 can be used to clamp the guide rail 102 when the C-shaped grinding block 304 is installed, thereby preventing the guide rail surface from being out of contact with the inner side surface of the C-shaped grinding block 304 due to rapid movement of the C-shaped grinding block 304, thereby reducing the grinding effect.

[0025] The cylinder bracket 4 includes an end connection plate 401, a horizontal support plate 402 and a positioning pin 403. The end connection plate 401 is fixed to the end of the linear cylinder 1. The bottom of the end connection plate 401 is connected to the horizontal support plate 402. The positioning pin 403 is installed on the back of the horizontal support plate 402. The position of the positioning pin 403 matches the position of the mounting hole reserved on the base end 101 of the needle bed base 1. In this way, when installing the cylinder bracket 4, it is only necessary to insert the positioning pin 403 into the mounting hole on the base end 101 to quickly fix the cylinder bracket 4 and complete the installation of the linear cylinder 2. It is also convenient to remove after grinding.

[0026] A pressure plate 309 is also installed on the grinding surface, and a pressure adjustment spring and a corresponding adjustment screw are installed between the pressure plate 309 and the grinding surface, and the elastic force of the adjustment spring can be adjusted by the adjustment screw. Velcro is attached to the surface of the pressure plate 309. The advantage of placing the pressure plate 309 on the grinding surface and attaching Velcro on the surface is that the pressure between the pressure plate 309 and the surface of the guide rail 102 can be adjusted by the pressure adjustment screw, thereby improving the grinding efficiency. In addition, the Velcro attached to the pressure plate 309 can be attached to the pressure plate 309 with flocked sandpaper for grinding. After the sandpaper fails, it can be directly torn off and re-attached with new flocked sandpaper, which is quick and convenient to replace.

[0027] In actual use, the utility model first adjusts the entire grinding frame 3 to the end position of one end of the linear cylinder 2, and then aligns the positioning pin 403 on the bottom surface of the entire horizontal support plate 402 with the mounting hole on the base end 101, and uses the length difference between the linear cylinder 2 and the needle bed base 1 to make the C-shaped grinding block 304 at the end of the extension arm of the grinding frame 3 just located at the outer position of the end of the guide rail 102, and then attaches the flocked gauze to the surface of the pressure plate 309 and puts the C-shaped grinding block 304 on the guide rail 102 of the needle bed base, and then starts the linear cylinder 2, and uses the linear cylinder 2 to drive the entire C-shaped grinding block 304 to reciprocate to complete the grinding action. This grinding method has uniform force and can meet the friction requirements of the guide surface. Compared with manual grinding, it is not only efficient, but also effective, avoiding repeated tedious and laborious manual actions, and significantly reducing the labor intensity of on-site personnel.

[0028] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
