[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the adjustable machining table for a surface grinder provided in this embodiment mainly includes a base 1, a rotary table assembly 2, a workpiece clamping device 3, a lifting drive device 4, a crossbeam 5, a transverse feed mechanism 6, a grinding unit 7, an auxiliary guide assembly 8, and a controller 9. All components work together to achieve high-precision rotary grinding of the workpiece. The workpiece clamping device 3 and the lifting drive device 4 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The remaining functional components are described in detail below:

[0034] I. Rotary Table Assembly

[0035] The rotating workbench assembly 2 is arranged inside the base 1 and includes a stepping motor 203, a harmonic reducer 204, a reduction rod 205, a driving rectangular gear 206, a driven rectangular gear 209, a transmission shaft 208, a connecting flange 210 and a workbench body 212. The stepping motor 203 is fixed to the right side of the base 1 through a support, and the output end of the stepping motor 203 is connected with one end of the first transmission shaft 202. The other end of the first transmission shaft 202 is connected with the input end of the harmonic reducer 204. The output end of the harmonic reducer 204 is connected with one end of the reduction rod 205, and the other end of the reduction rod 205 is provided with the driving rectangular gear 206. One end of the transmission shaft 208 is vertically arranged on the base 1 through a bearing, and the other end is connected with the workbench body 212 through the connecting flange 210. The outer wall of the connecting flange 210 is fixedly provided with a radial limiting ring 211, and the inner wall of the base 1 is provided with an annular guide groove matched with the radial limiting ring 211, so as to form a sliding fit relationship and limit the radial deviation of the workbench during rotation. The driven rectangular gear 209 is arranged on the transmission shaft 208 and meshes with the driving rectangular gear 206.

[0036] The connecting flange 210 is uniformly provided with a plurality of lightening holes to reduce the moment of inertia. The radial limiting ring 211 is integrally formed with the connecting flange 210.

[0037] The harmonic reducer 204 adopts the flexible gear meshing principle and has the characteristics of zero backlash and high stiffness, which can convert the high speed and low torque of the stepping motor into low speed and high torque output.

[0038] In the embodiment, the stepping motor 203 is started after receiving the pulse signal of the controller 9, and the harmonic reducer 204 is used for speed reduction and torque increase, the reduction rod 205 is driven to rotate the driving rectangular gear 206. The driving rectangular gear 206 meshes with the driven rectangular gear 209 to drive the transmission shaft 208 and the workbench body 212 to rotate synchronously. The cooperation of the radial limiting ring 211 and the annular guide groove ensures the radial stability of the workbench during rotation, avoiding shaking caused by centrifugal force.

[0039] The stepping motor 203 supports pulse-level precise control, and the stable speed reduction ratio of the harmonic reducer 204 can realize precise positioning of the rotating angle of the workbench ±0.01°. The high torque output of the harmonic reducer 204 can drive large weight workpieces to rotate, which is suitable for heavy part machining. The driving rectangular gear 206 and the driven rectangular gear 209 are made of high-strength alloy steel, and the tooth surface is treated by carburizing and quenching, so that the wear resistance is significantly improved.

[0040] II. Transverse feeding mechanism

[0041] The transverse feeding mechanism 6 comprises a servo motor 603, a ball screw 604, a sliding block 605 and a guide block 606, and the bottom of the sliding block 605 is fixedly connected with the grinding unit 7. The servo motor 603 is installed on the mounting plate at the left end of the cross beam 5 through a flange, and the output shaft thereof is connected with the left end of the ball screw 604 through a shaft coupling. The ball screw 604 horizontally penetrates through the inside of the cross beam 5 and is supported at both ends by two groups of bearings 602 which are embedded in the sliding grooves 601 in the inner wall of the cross beam 5. The nut on the ball screw 604 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 605. The guide block 606 is welded on the top of the sliding block 605 and is in sliding fit with the linear guide groove in the inner wall of the cross beam 5, so as to ensure that the sliding block 605 translates along a single axis. The bottom of the sliding block 605 is fixed with the grinding unit 7 through M8 inner hexagonal bolts, and the grinding unit 7 can adopt a general grinding tool such as a grinding wheel or a diamond grinding head.

[0042] In the embodiment, the servo motor 603 reverses rotation after receiving the instruction of the controller 9, and drives the ball screw 604 to rotate. The ball screw 604 drives the sliding block 605 to translate left and right along the linear guide groove in the cross beam 5, so as to realize the horizontal feeding of the grinding unit 7. The gap between the guide block 606 and the linear guide groove is controlled to be less than 0.02 mm, so as to ensure the straightness of the movement.

[0043] The combination of the servo motor and the ball screw can realize a feeding accuracy of 0.001 mm / pulse, which meets the requirement of precision grinding. The servo motor has a short start-stop time, and can quickly complete complex path processing in cooperation with the controller. The ball screw 604 is supported by the two bearings 602, which effectively suppresses the deformation of the ball screw caused by the grinding resistance and has the characteristics of strong anti-unbalanced load capacity.

[0044] III. Auxiliary guiding assembly

[0045] The auxiliary guiding assembly 8 comprises an L-shaped guiding rod 801 and a fixed support 802, the fixed support 802 is provided with a guiding groove, and the L-shaped guiding rod 801 is vertically welded at the end of the cross beam 5 and the lower extension section thereof is inserted into the guiding groove of the fixed support 802. The fixed support 802 is fixed with the side wall of the base 1 through foundation bolts, and the inner side thereof is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant lining plate. The L-shaped guiding rod 801 and the guiding groove of the fixed support 802 form an H-shaped sliding pair, which can absorb the slight displacement caused by the thermal expansion of the equipment, maintain the rigidity of the system, and allow the cross beam 5 to slightly float in the vertical direction to compensate for the thermal deformation.

[0046] In the embodiment, when the lifting driving device 4 adjusts the height of the cross beam 5, the L-shaped guiding rod 801 slides along the guiding groove of the fixed support 802 to provide lateral support for the cross beam 5, prevent the cross beam 5 from being deviated in the transverse direction due to gravity or cutting force, and jointly act with the linear guide groove in the cross beam 5 to form X-Y bidirectional constraint, so as to completely eliminate the deviation phenomenon in the translation process. The polytetrafluoroethylene lining plate reduces the friction resistance and prolongs the service life.

[0047] In this embodiment, the controller 9 adopts an industrial PLC controller integrated with a touch screen operation interface.

[0048] Working process:

[0049] Clamping workpiece: the workpiece to be processed is fixed on the center of the workbench body 212 through the workpiece clamping device 3.

[0050] Coarse height adjustment: operate the lifting drive device 4 to lower the grinding unit 7 close to the workpiece surface.

[0051] Rotation calibration: input the target angle through the controller 9, and the stepping motor 203 drives the workbench body 212 to rotate to the specified position.

[0052] Precise grinding: start the servo motor 603 to complete the reciprocating grinding of the workpiece surface at the preset feed speed.

[0053] Unloading and resetting: after processing is completed, the lifting drive device 4 lifts the cross beam 5, removes the workpiece and resets all coordinate axes.
