Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of polishing and chip removal technology, and particularly relates to a steel ball polishing and chip removal device. Background Technology
[0002] Steel balls are classified into ground steel balls, forged steel balls, and cast steel balls according to their manufacturing process. Among them, bearing steel balls are important basic components in industry. The steel balls produced are not used because their surfaces are not smooth. In order to improve the smoothness of the steel ball surface, it is necessary to polish the surface of the steel ball.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219310988U describes a steel ball surface polishing device. In use, two electric push rods push two arc-shaped fixing plates to clamp the steel ball. Then, a drive motor rotates the clamped steel ball, while a polishing machine above the ball performs the polishing operation. Although this polishing device can polish steel balls, because the steel ball cannot rotate omnidirectionally within the device, it can only polish a localized area of the ball. After each localized area is polished, the machine must be stopped, the steel ball manually rotated, and the machine restarted to continue polishing. This process must be repeated to polish the entire surface of the steel ball. This polishing device significantly reduces the polishing efficiency of steel balls, hindering high-efficiency production.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a steel ball polishing and chip removal device is now designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steel ball polishing and chip removal device, which has the advantage of being able to polish steel balls from all directions, thus improving polishing efficiency. This solves the problem of existing steel ball surface polishing devices, where the steel ball cannot roll omnidirectionally, resulting in polishing only localized areas of the steel ball. After each localized polishing is completed, the machine must be stopped, the steel ball manually rotated, and the machine restarted to continue polishing. This repeated operation is necessary to polish the entire surface of the steel ball, which greatly reduces polishing efficiency and hinders efficient production.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a steel ball polishing and chip removal device, comprising:
[0007] The frame is equipped with a rolling mechanism that drives the steel balls to rotate. The rolling mechanism is driven by a driving device. A cleaning brush is provided on the frame located at the front end of the rolling mechanism.
[0008] A limiting mechanism is provided in the middle of the frame, located below the rolling mechanism, and includes two limiting rods for limiting the position of the steel ball;
[0009] The polishing mechanism and the auxiliary mechanism are located on both sides of the frame, and the polishing mechanism includes a polishing wheel for polishing steel balls.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rolling mechanism includes two drive rollers, which are disposed at both ends of the frame and connected by a conveyor belt. The surface of the conveyor belt is provided with protrusions for driving the steel ball to rotate.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting mechanism further includes a gear, which is disposed below the conveyor belt and located in the middle of the frame. A first motor for driving the gear to rotate is installed on the frame. The two limiting rods are respectively located on both sides of the gear, and each limiting rod is provided with teeth that mesh with the gear.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the limiting rods is connected to an adapter block that matches the outer surface of the steel ball, and each of the limiting rods is connected to a slider on its lower surface. A groove is provided on the frame corresponding to the position of the slider.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary mechanism includes a support frame and an extension plate. The extension plate is connected to one side of the frame body, and the support frame is mounted on the frame body by two positioning pins. Positioning holes are provided on both the extension plate and the frame body.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting rod is connected to the support frame, and an auxiliary wheel is fitted on the connecting rod to prevent the steel ball from falling off. The auxiliary wheel rotates along the outer surface of the connecting rod.

[0025] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a steel ball polishing and chip removal device, comprising:
[0028] The frame 1 is equipped with a rolling mechanism 2 that drives the steel ball to rotate. The rolling mechanism 2 is driven by a driving device. A cleaning brush 6 is provided on the frame 1 located at the front end of the rolling mechanism 2.
[0029] The limiting mechanism 3 is located in the middle of the frame 1 and below the rolling mechanism 2. The limiting mechanism 3 includes two limiting rods 303 for limiting the position of the steel ball.
[0030] Polishing mechanism 4 and auxiliary mechanism 5 are located on both sides of frame 1. Polishing mechanism 4 includes polishing wheel 403 for polishing steel balls.
[0031] It should be noted that the cleaning brush 6 is designed to clean up debris that splashes onto the conveyor belt 202, preventing debris from filling the gaps between the clogging protrusions 203 and hindering the proper rotation of the steel balls, thus affecting the polishing operation of the steel balls.
[0032] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism 2 includes two drive rollers 201, which are disposed at both ends of the frame 1. The two drive rollers 201 are connected by a conveyor belt 202, and the surface of the conveyor belt 202 is provided with protrusions 203 for driving the steel ball to rotate.
[0033] In practice, the drive device drives the drive roller 201 to rotate. The rotation of the drive roller 201 drives the conveyor belt 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the steel ball on the conveyor belt 202 to move. Due to the cooperation of the two limit rods 303 and several protrusions 203, the steel ball is limited, allowing the steel ball to rotate between the two limit rods 303, which is beneficial for the polishing mechanism 4 to perform all-round polishing operation on the steel ball.
[0034] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism 3 also includes a gear 301, which is located below the conveyor belt 202 and in the middle of the frame 1. A first motor 302 that drives the gear 301 to rotate is installed on the frame 1. Two limiting rods 303 are located on both sides of the gear 301, and each limiting rod 303 is provided with teeth that mesh with the gear 301. Each limiting rod 303 is connected to an adapter block 304 that matches the outer surface of the steel ball. Each limiting rod 303 is connected to a slider 305 on its lower surface. A groove 101 is provided on the frame 1 corresponding to the position of the slider 305.
[0035] In specific implementation, the first motor 302 is started to drive the gear 301 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the teeth on the limit rod 303 mesh with the gear 301, the two limit rods 303 are driven to move towards each other or away from each other at the same time, and the distance between the two limit rods 303 is adjusted to a suitable position.
[0036] Before the device is started, the steel balls to be processed are placed on the conveyor belt 202. To prevent the steel balls from falling, they can also be clamped by two limit rods 303. When the device is running, the clamping of the steel balls can be released.
[0037] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a support frame 501 and an extension plate 504. The extension plate 504 is connected to one side of the frame 1. The support frame 501 is mounted on the frame 1 by two positioning pins 505. Positioning holes 7 are provided on both the extension plate 504 and the frame 1. A connecting rod 502 is connected to the support frame 501. An auxiliary wheel 503 is fitted on the connecting rod 502 to prevent the steel ball from falling. The auxiliary wheel 503 rotates along the outer surface of the connecting rod 502.
[0038] It should be noted that the auxiliary wheel 503 provides a certain amount of pressure on the steel ball during polishing, confining the steel ball between the polishing wheel 403 and the auxiliary wheel 503, so that the surface of the steel ball is in complete contact with the concave surface of the polishing wheel 403. At this time, the support frame 501 is installed on the positioning hole 7 on the frame body 1 through the positioning pin 505. The pressure is less than the friction between the polishing wheel 403 and the steel ball, which facilitates the polishing wheel 403 to polish the steel ball.
[0039] Furthermore, the polishing mechanism 4 also includes a mounting frame 401 fixedly connected to the frame 1. The mounting frame 401 has rotating shafts 402 rotatably connected to both sides. The polishing wheel 403 is connected to the two rotating shafts 402 on both sides respectively. A second motor 404 for driving the rotating shafts 402 to rotate is provided on one side of the mounting frame 401. The polishing wheel 403 is an I-shaped polishing wheel 403, and its concave part matches the outer surface of the steel ball.
[0040] In practice, the second motor 404 is started to drive the polishing wheel 403, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 402, to rotate. With the cooperation of the polishing wheel 403, the auxiliary wheel 503, the conveyor belt 202 and the limit rod 303, the rolling steel ball is polished.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model:
[0042] In use, the steel ball is first placed on the conveyor belt 202, and then the support frame 501 is installed on the frame 1 so that the steel ball is between the polishing wheel 403 and the auxiliary wheel 503. Then, the first motor 302 is started to drive the gear 301 to rotate, thereby driving the two limit rods 303 to move towards or away from each other at the same time. The distance between the two limit rods 303 is adjusted to a position that allows the steel ball to roll between them. Then, the rolling mechanism 2 is driven to run by the drive device. With the cooperation of the conveyor belt 202, the protrusion 203 and the two limit rods 303, the steel ball rolls, and the polishing wheel 403 performs a full-range polishing operation on the rolling steel ball.
[0043] The polishing process generates debris that will splash onto the conveyor belt 202. In order to prevent the gaps between the protrusions 203 from being filled with debris and affecting the rotation of the steel balls, a cleaning brush 6 is set at one end of the frame 1 to effectively clean the moving conveyor belt 202 and achieve the effect of removing debris.
[0044] After the steel ball polishing is completed, the device stops operating. Then, the positioning pin 505 is picked up, and the support frame 501 is installed on the positioning hole 7 on the extension plate 504. The worker can then remove the processed steel ball.
[0045] In summary, this steel ball polishing and chip removal device, through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 202, the protrusions 203 and the limiting rod 303, enables the steel ball to roll, thereby facilitating the polishing mechanism 4 to perform all-round polishing operations on the steel ball and improving polishing efficiency; the cleaning brush 6 can clean the debris on the conveyor belt 202, preventing debris from filling the gap between the two protrusions 203 and affecting the rolling effect of the steel ball.
