Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of roller processing and manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an end face support structure for processing the large curvature spherical base surface of rolling elements. Background Technology

[0002] The grinding principle of spherical base surface grinding equipment is based on the rotation of the pressure roller to drive the product's follower. The pressure roller, end face support, and horizontal support restrict five degrees of freedom in three directions to position the product. Currently, the end face support is mainly used for processing products with small curvature of rolling elements. Its mechanical principle utilizes point contact. This contact method results in preferential wear at higher points, leading to faster wear of the end face support during processing, and a gradual loss of positioning accuracy after wear. When used for processing products with large curvature, the contact between the end face support and the spherical base surface becomes an approximate point-to-surface contact. Because the curvature of the spherical base surface is too large, it can be approximated as a plane, and the end face support as a point, forming a point-to-surface contact. This causes the product to swing up and down in the Z-axis direction of the spatial coordinate during processing and positioning. This results in unstable grinding of the product center, leading to out-of-tolerance curvature and central concavity in the pattern. When such problems occur, they affect product quality, increase scrap rate, reduce product fit-up rate, increase production costs, and reduce processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an end-face support structure for machining the large curvature spherical base surface of rolling elements.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An end-face support structure for machining the base surface of a large curvature sphere of a rolling element is disclosed. The end-face support structure consists of two cylinders with different diameters, namely a small cylinder and a large cylinder. The small cylinder and the large cylinder are integrally formed in a stepped structure. The height ratio of the small cylinder to the large cylinder is 1:2. The upper surface of the small cylinder is a convex surface for contacting the product. The small surface of the small cylinder is a reference surface for contacting the machine tool.

[0006] The small cylinder and the large cylinder have interconnected threaded holes at their centers for connection to the machine tool.

[0007] The small cylinder has a tight through hole.

[0008] This invention proposes an end-face support structure for machining the large curvature ball base surface of rolling elements. The entire structure is machined into a stepped end-face support by two different radius sections at a 1:2 ratio, transforming point contact into a near-surface contact, increasing the contact area, reducing wear on the end-face support during machining, lowering costs, avoiding frequent tooling changes, and ensuring product positioning stability. This approach ensures both product machining stability and extends the tooling's service life during machining.

[0009] After structural optimization, the types of products that can be processed have been expanded, enabling the processing of products with large curvature spherical base surfaces.

[0010] After structural optimization, product quality is improved, waste is reduced, product matching rate is increased, resulting in reduced production costs and improved processing efficiency for enterprises. Attached Figure Description

The upper surface of the small cylinder 1 is a convex surface for contacting the product. The small surface of the small cylinder serves as a reference surface for contacting the machine tool, transforming point contact into a similar surface-to-surface contact, increasing the contact area, reducing wear of the end-face support during machining, reducing costs, and avoiding frequent tooling changes.

[0015] The small cylinder 1 and the large cylinder 1 have interconnected threaded holes 3 at their centers for connection with the machine tool.

[0016] The small cylinder 1 has a tight through hole 4.
