Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spring processing, in particular to a spring end grinding device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry and advancements in technology, the demand for precision parts is increasing. Springs, as a common elastic component, are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, mechanical equipment and other fields. To ensure the quality and performance of springs, proper polishing of their ends is particularly important.

[0003] Existing spring end grinding technologies primarily include manual grinding and simple power tool-assisted grinding. While manual grinding allows for flexible adjustment of force and angle, it requires significant manpower and results in low efficiency. While power grinding equipment can save manpower to a certain extent, most existing power grinding equipment can only grind one end of the spring at a time, and cannot simultaneously grind both ends. Consequently, each end must be polished sequentially, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

Through the setting of the bearing assembly 2, when the spring is polished, the spring to be polished can be placed vertically in the bearing groove 23 away from the polishing mechanism 3, and the clamping mechanism 24 can be used to clamp the spring. Then, the stepper motor can be started to drive the bearing platform 22 to rotate, so that the bearing platform 22 drives the spring to be polished to move to a position close to the polishing mechanism 3 for polishing.

[0034] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 24 includes two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped clamping plates 241, and a U-shaped groove is opened on one side of each bearing groove 23 inside the support seat 21.

The one-way screw 243 is horizontally arranged. An L-shaped connecting rod 244 is threadedly connected to the one-way screw 243. One end of the L-shaped connecting rod 244 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate 241. Through the clamping mechanism 24, place the spring between the two arc-shaped splints 241, start the dual-axis motor 242 to drive the two one-way screws 243 to rotate, so that the one-way screws 243 drive the two L-shaped connecting rods 244 to approach each other, and the L-shaped connecting rods 244 drive the two arc-shaped splints 241 to approach each other, thereby clamping and fixing the spring. After the grinding is completed, the dual-axis motor 242 can be started to drive the one-way screw 243 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the two arc-shaped splints 241 are separated, so that the spring can fall.
