[0002] When machining some thin-walled parts (such as oil distribution sleeves), a grinding machine is required to machine multiple parts such as the inner hole and outer circle. Due to the characteristics of thin walls, when using traditional fixtures for clamping, whether it is clamping the outer wall through a jaw-type fixture for fixation or expanding the inner hole through an internal support fixture for fixation, it is easy to cause deformation of the workpiece. In view of this, in order to solve the problem of workpiece deformation, it is necessary to improve the workpiece fixture of the grinding machine.

An inner film and an outer film are fixed in the cavity of the housing. The outer circumferential end faces between the inner film and the outer film are spaced apart by a sleeve, and the inner holes of the inner film and the outer film are supported and spaced apart by a push rod sleeve; a support is fixed in the inner hole of the housing, and the end of the support extends into the inner hole of the push rod sleeve; a pushing member is further arranged in the inner hole of the housing, the pushing member can move axially, and the acting end of the pushing member cooperates with the joint surface at the inner end of the inner film and the push rod sleeve; the inner film and the outer film are provided with a plurality of claws arranged in a circumferential shape, and the claws on the inner film pass through the holes formed on the surface of the push rod sleeve.

[0004] The above-mentioned thin-walled fixture reduces the clamping deformation of the specimen by increasing the clamping points, but still cannot solve the problem of deformation of thin-walled workpieces inherent in the jaw-type fixture itself, and also greatly increases the complexity of the fixture. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a composite grinding machine for processing thin-walled workpieces, which has the advantages of simple structure, convenient clamping, not easy to deform, and high machining accuracy.

[0009] In the above-mentioned composite grinding machine for processing thin-walled workpieces, a bearing is arranged between the front pressure ring and the pressing sleeve; further, the outer ring of the bearing is interference fit with the front pressure ring, and the inner ring is interference fit with the pressing sleeve, the front end of the front pressure ring is provided with a limit ring that abuts against the front end surface of the outer ring of the front bearing, and the rear end of the pressing sleeve is provided with a limit ring that abuts against the rear end surface of the inner ring of the front bearing.

[0010] In the above-mentioned composite grinding machine for processing thin-walled workpieces, the pressing sleeve and the supporting sleeve are respectively provided with centering structures that match the front and rear end surfaces of the workpiece; preferably, the centering structure adopts a centering stop.

[0011] In the above-mentioned composite grinding machine for processing thin-walled workpieces, the support sleeve is detachably connected to the fixture seat, and the pressing sleeve is detachably connected to the front pressing ring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present utility model provides a composite grinding machine for processing thin-walled workpieces, which improves the fixture mechanism of the grinding machine. By using a support sleeve driven by a main shaft and a pressure sleeve that axially slides, the thin-walled workpiece is fixed by clamping the front and rear ends of the workpiece. Since it does not directly act on the side wall of the workpiece, the deformation of the workpiece caused by traditional fixtures is avoided. At the same time, the support sleeve and the pressure sleeve of the present utility model can center the workpiece simultaneously, ensuring the accuracy of clamping and processing.

[0016] 2. The pressure sleeve of the present utility model transmits the driving force through the connecting rods arranged at intervals, enabling it to axially slide. The connecting rods arranged at intervals can leave a feeding space for the grinding mechanism (such as a grinding wheel). At the same time, when the workpiece rotates with the main shaft, the connecting rods will not rotate therewith. Therefore, when grinding the outer circle, it will not interfere with the grinding mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
