Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grinding tapered rollers of ring rolling machines, in particular to an online automatic grinding tool for tapered rollers of ring rolling machines. Background Art

[0002] Ring rolling machines are mainly used to roll inner and outer rings of bearings, gear rings, pipe flanges and other forgings. The materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium alloy and other alloys. During the rolling process, the tapered rollers are easily worn parts. Their wear will lead to reduced processing accuracy and uneven end faces of the rings. Therefore, the tapered rollers of the ring rolling machine need to be repaired from time to time.

[0003] In existing technology, the traditional repair process for the tapered rollers of ring rolling machines involves disassembly, welding, grinding, repair, and reinstallation. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and can result in uneven and difficult welding. Repairing the tapered rollers requires removing them from the equipment, installing them on a lathe or other auxiliary tooling for overlay welding, and then reinstalling them into the ring rolling machine. This time-consuming process increases repair time and incurs the time cost of multiple tapered roller replacements. Furthermore, traditional methods cannot perform online grinding of the tapered rollers while the ring rolling machine is in operation, limiting production efficiency and continuous operation.

[0004] A conical roller grinding device with application number CN2015203427244 is also used for grinding the conical rollers of ring rolling machines. However, it can only be ground by positioning. When the grinding position needs to be changed, manual assistance is required, and the positioning must be readjusted after moving, making it difficult to achieve efficient grinding efficiency.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The utility model is used for online welding and grinding of the tapered roller of the ring rolling machine. There is no need to remove the tapered roller from the equipment, install it on the submerged arc welding machine for welding, and then install it on a large horizontal machine for turning.
