[0002] The outer diameter of a piston rod serves as a moving mating surface, requiring both good wear resistance and low friction. During the component design, a hard-anodized aluminum alloy was chosen to address wear resistance. However, the roughness of the hardened outer diameter was poor, failing to meet the design requirements and preventing flexible movement. This required improvement.

[0003] The current method for improving the roughness of hard-anodized aluminum alloys involves clamping the part on a manual lathe, rotating the spindle at high speed, and then polishing with a handheld polishing medium in a reciprocating motion to increase surface roughness. This process is rigid grinding, resulting in significant part runout. Furthermore, due to the random nature of manual polishing, the roughness of the polished outer diameter is uneven, with significant local deviations.

[0004] The above-mentioned manual polishing method is not only inefficient and requires high worker skills and responsibility, but also has high labor intensity and poor quality consistency. Therefore, it is urgent to research and develop a tool that can replace manual operation with a motorized device. Utility Model Content

However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to any specific arrangement and method proposed below, but rather encompasses any improvements, replacements, and modifications to structures, methods, and devices without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

Among them, one end of the tool bar 1 is mounted on the main board 2, and the other end is connected to the turret of the CNC machine tool. The air motor 5 is mounted on the lower end of the main board 2. The rotating shaft of the air motor 5 is connected to the driving wheel 4 to drive the driving wheel 4 to rotate. The middle part of the bracket 3 is rotatably mounted on the main board 2 through the rotating shaft 1.1. A screw 1.2 is provided at one end of the bracket 3. The screw 1.2 is connected to the screw 6 on the main board 2 through a spring 9. A shaft 11 is installed at the other end of the bracket 3. The bearing 10 is press-fitted to the shaft 11 with an interference fit. The driven wheel 8 is mounted on the bearing 10. The driven wheel 8 and the driving wheel 4 are connected by the sandpaper belt 7.

[0022] Among them, the tool rod 1 and the main board 2 are fixed by screws 6, and the other end of the tool rod 1 can be fixed on the tool holder of a CNC machine tool to realize the grinding and polishing function of similar parts, with strong versatility.

[0023] The mainboard 2 is connected to the middle of the bracket 3 via the rotating shaft 1.1, so that the bracket can rotate around the rotating shaft 1.1.

[0024] The pneumatic motor 5 is screwed to the rear of the mainboard 2, and the driven pulley 8 is press-fitted onto the bearing 10 of the bracket 3, enabling flexible rotation. The driving pulley 4 uses the pneumatic motor 5 as its power input, which, compared to an electric motor, prevents machine tool cutting fluid from entering the circuit, providing increased safety.

[0025] The utility model is equipped with a spring 9, which meets the flexibility requirement during the processing, and the elastic force of the spring 9 should be selected to be moderate. If the elastic force is too large, the sandpaper will be easily burned, and if the elastic force is too small, the processing function cannot be achieved.

[0026] A sandpaper belt 7 is installed between the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 8. The toughness and cutting ability of the selected sandpaper belt 7 should be able to meet the roughness requirement of Ra0.2 after processing.

[0027] The driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 8 for installing the sandpaper 7 are provided with a mounting groove, the depth of which is greater than the thickness of the sandpaper 7 to ensure that the sandpaper 7 will not fall out.

[0029] The bracket 3 is connected to the screw 6 through the spring 9 to tighten the sandpaper belt 7 installed between the driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 8. When the sandpaper belt 7 cuts the workpiece, a flexible force is generated. Through flexible grinding, during the polishing process, the sandpaper belt 7 can be ensured to always be in contact with the part, the part runout is small, the roughness of the outer circle after polishing is uniform, and the local deviation is small.

[0030] After the above components are installed, the tool rod 1 is installed on the machine tool turret, and the pneumatic motor 5 is connected to the air source to drive the sandpaper belt 7 to rotate at high speed to grind and polish the outer circle of the workpiece, thereby replacing manual processing with motorized processing and achieving consistency and stability in the surface quality of the parts.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should all be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
