[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 This embodiment provides a sliding mechanism for a grinding head, including: a slider 1, a slide 2 and a pressure plate 3. A plurality of guide surfaces 11 are provided on both sides of the slider 1. Two adjacent guide surfaces 11 on the same side are vertically distributed. The pressure plate 3 and the slide 2 enclose a limit groove 100. The guide surfaces 11 are located in the limit groove 100. One of the guide surfaces 11 is connected to the pressure plate 3 at the notch of the limit groove 100 through a plurality of rollers 4. The rollers 4 roll along the guide surfaces 11, and the remaining guide surfaces 11 are slidably connected to the slide 2. The utility model positions the slider 1 in the X direction through the pressure plate 3 and the rollers 4. The rollers 4 have good rigidity and strength. When they are in contact with the guide surfaces 11 and are pressed by the pressure plate 3, the X-direction deformation caused by external forces can be ignored. Therefore, the utility model has a strong anti-grinding force deformation effect. The utility model converts the two sliding frictions in the planar motion pair into rolling friction, and the friction force becomes smaller, thereby reducing the wear of the slider 1.
[0030] One installation method of the roller 4 is as follows: a plurality of fixing seats 7 are fixed on the pressure plate 3 , and the roller 4 is rotatably arranged on the fixing seats 7 .
[0031] An embodiment of the fixing seat 7: Figure 4 A positioning block 71 is provided at the end of the fixing seat 7 away from the roller 4. A positioning slot 31 is provided on the pressure plate 3 to match the positioning block 71. Mounting plates 72 are provided on either side of the fixing seat 7, and the mounting plates 72 are secured to the pressure plate 3 by bolts. In this structural design, positioning accuracy is ensured by inserting the positioning block 71 into the positioning slot 31, thereby ensuring that the rolling trajectory of the roller 4 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slider 1.
[0032] As another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 5 The pressure plate 3 is provided with a first lubrication hole 32, and the fixed seat 7 is provided with a second lubrication hole 73. The second lubrication hole 73 extends to the roller 4, and the first lubrication hole 32 and the second lubrication hole 73 are connected. The lubricating oil is evenly distributed along the first lubrication hole 32 and the second lubrication hole 73 in the rolling motion pair, which helps to reduce the friction coefficient during the overall movement.
[0033] As another embodiment of the present invention: the oil inlet of the first lubrication hole 32 is arranged on one side of the pressing plate 3, and the oil outlet of the first lubrication hole 32 is arranged in the positioning groove 31 of the pressing plate 3. In this structural design, the first lubrication hole 32 is a hidden design.
[0034] Specifically, the pressing plate 3 is fixed on the sliding seat 2 by bolts.
[0035] As another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 8 A polytetrafluoroethylene soft belt 5 is provided between the slide seat 2 and the guide rail surface 11 of the slider 1.
[0036] As another embodiment of the present invention, a gap adjustment assembly is provided between the slide 2 and the slider 1. In the Y direction, the gap adjustment assembly is used to adjust the compression of the PTFE tape 5. In the X direction, the compression of the PTFE tape 5 is adjusted by the height of the pressure plate 3. Specifically, by adjusting the thickness of the stop of the pressure plate 3, the compression of the PTFE tape 5 meets the design requirements under the inherent tightening force of the bolt.
[0037] One implementation of the gap adjustment assembly: Figure 7 The gap adjustment assembly includes a wedge plate 6, and the slide 2 is provided with an inclined surface 21 that cooperates with the wedge plate 6. In this structural design, the distance between the slide 2 and the slider 1 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the wedge plate 6, thereby adjusting the compression amount of the PTFE soft belt 5, and then realizing the Y-direction positioning of the slider 1 on the slide 2.
[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, two wedge plates 6 are provided, with the smaller end of one wedge plate 6 oriented in an opposite direction to the smaller end of the other wedge plate 6 , i.e., the smaller ends of the two wedge plates 6 are not oriented in the same direction. This improves the Y-direction positioning of the slider 1 on the slide 2 . Specifically, the position of the wedge plate 6 can be adjusted using two screws: one screw is used to adjust the distance between the wedge plate 6 and the slide 2 , and the other screw is used to secure the wedge plate 6 to the slide 2 .
[0039] As another embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion 12 is provided on both sides of the slider 1. The protrusion 12 is in the shape of a block. The three sides of the protrusion 12 serve as guide surfaces 11. The roller 4 rolls along the protrusion 12. One wedge plate 6 is in contact with the guide surface 11 of the protrusion 12 in the Y direction, and the other wedge plate 6 and the roller 4 are located on both sides of the protrusion 12.
[0040] One installation method of the PTFE soft tape 5 is as follows: the PTFE soft tape 5 is pasted on the slide 2 .
[0041] As another embodiment of the present invention: an oil storage tank is provided on the PTFE soft belt 5, and the lubricating oil is evenly distributed along the oil storage tank on the planar motion pair, which is conducive to lowering the friction coefficient during the overall movement.
[0042] Specifically, the PTFE soft belt 5 is a PTFE soft belt, and the roller 4 is fixed on the pressing plate 3 through a fixing plate, and the roller 4 is rotatably set on the fixing plate.
[0043] As another embodiment of the present invention, both the slider 1 and the slide seat 2 are made of high-strength HT cast iron, and the guide rail surface 11 is integrally machined. The guide rail surface 11 of the slider 1 is hardened by quenching and then fine-ground to the design requirements. A high-quality PTFE soft tape is attached to the slide seat 2 and used as a scraping tool to match the finely machined slider 1. This ensures that the fit between the PTFE soft tape on the slide seat 2 and the guide rail surface 11 on the slider 1 meets the requirements of the internally controlled scraping process.
[0044] The utility model uses a method of simultaneous adjustment and testing to match the shovel wedge 6 and the polytetrafluoroethylene soft tape pasted on the moving surface of the slide 2, so that the straightness of the two mutually perpendicular directions of the slider 1 sliding on the slide 2 through the guide surface 11 meets the design requirements.
[0045] In this utility model, the design of the pressure plate 3 and rollers 4 transforms the original two planar kinematic pairs into two planar pairs and two rolling pairs, helping to reduce wear on the sliding surfaces (guide surface 11 and PTFE soft belt 5) and extend the product's lifespan. Furthermore, while delaying wear on the guide surface 11, it also provides the rigidity and strength necessary for the grinding head's operation, effectively maintaining the precision of the grinding head's spindle motion.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
