Description

[0002] In modern manufacturing, rolling processing, as a surface strengthening technology, is widely used to improve the surface hardness, wear resistance and fatigue strength of workpieces. By applying pressure to the surface of the workpiece, plastic deformation and grain refinement occur in its surface layer and subsurface layer, forming a dense gradient nano-strengthened layer. It also eliminates surface defects and microcracks, can effectively improve the microstructure of the material, and thus enhance its overall performance. Rolling not only increases the service life of the workpiece, but also reduces the subsequent maintenance cost. Therefore, rolling processing plays a crucial role in improving the reliability and durability of mechanical components.

[0003] Existing rolling tools have obvious limitations in practical applications. Most traditional rolling tools are mainly designed for plane rolling processing or external cylindrical surface treatment, and cannot effectively meet the requirements of internal hole processing; some internal hole tools can usually only process internal holes with specific diameters, lacking adaptability to different diameter internal holes and integrated processing. In addition, rolling processing has high requirements for surface quality. After the rolling elements of the tool work for a period of time, the surface quality will decline. However, most common rolling tools are of an integral non-detachable design, resulting in the need to replace the entire tool after the tool head wears, thus increasing production costs. Due to these limitations, traditional rolling tools are difficult to cope with complex processing tasks and diverse processing requirements, thereby affecting processing efficiency and flexibility.

[0025] The connecting part includes a connecting rod 14, a main shaft 15 and a main shaft end cover 19. The connecting rod 14 and the main shaft 15 are connected by threads. The main shaft 15 is connected to the cylinder block 1 by a spline. The main shaft end cover 19 is connected to the lower end of the cylinder block 1 by a third connecting member 20.

[0026] The cylinder block 1 is an integral cylinder block. Each chamber thereof includes a left hydraulic hole 16 and a right hydraulic hole 17. The two hydraulic holes are connected and controlled by threads with external hydraulic valves, hydraulic pumps and other devices through pipelines to control the flow direction of hydraulic oil in the chamber, so as to realize the telescopic movement of the plunger rod 3 and further realize the change of the machining range of the tool head.

[0027] The fluid in the chamber of the cylinder block 1 includes but is not limited to hydraulic oil, gas, water, etc.

[0028] A displacement sensor is installed on the plunger rod 3 to monitor the movement of the tool head. A limiting semi-cylinder is provided at the left end to limit the limit of its inward movement. The cylinder block end cover 5 can also limit the position of the plunger rod 3 moving outward, ensuring that the hydraulic oil can smoothly pass through the left hydraulic hole 16 and the right hydraulic hole 17 and thus flow into and out of the left and right chambers of the cylinder block 1.

[0029] A limiting end face is provided at the upper end of the plunger rod 3.

[0030] A boss is provided inside the tool head housing 7, and a groove is provided inside the cage 11. The tool head housing 7 and the cage 11 are in stepped fit; there is a clearance fit between the tool head end cover 9, the tool head rolling body 8, the cage 11 and the auxiliary rolling body to facilitate the rolling of the tool during operation; the diameter of the lower end of the aperture of the tool head end cover 9 is larger than the diameter of the tool head rolling body 8, and the diameter of its upper end is smaller than the diameter of the tool head rolling body 8, which can realize the convenient replacement and rolling stability of the tool head rolling body 8.

Compared with the traditional line-surface contact, this method can disperse the load and heat, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the shock absorption performance of the system. When the tool head rolling body 8 of this tool wears out, loosen the second connecting member 10, and take out the tool head end cover 9, the tool head rolling body 8, the cage 11 and the auxiliary rolling body 12 in sequence; the order of replacing the new tool head rolling body 8 and the auxiliary rolling body 12 is as follows: first place the cage 11 on the limiting step of the tool head housing 7, then place the auxiliary rolling body 12 in the groove of the cage 11 for limitation, then install the tool head rolling body 8 in the wedge-shaped groove of the tool head end cover 9 and make it contact with the tool head housing 7, and then fix it through the second connecting member 10.
