[0038] The anti-blocking vacuum generator 4 enters high-pressure gas through the vacuum generator air inlet pipe 24 to generate a pressure difference in the vacuum generator cavity 23, so that the vacuum generator air inlet pipe 24 generates suction force, the workpiece is sucked into the vacuum generator cavity 23, and the gas is discharged from the vacuum generator discharge pipe 25 to blow the workpiece out of the vacuum generator.
[0039] The principle of the anti-blocking vacuum generator is that compressed air passes through the narrow space formed by the vacuum generator air inlet pipe and the vacuum generator discharge pipe, the nozzle forms turbulent jet flow, under the action of air suction, the flowing jet fluid constantly sucks away the air near the narrow space, the air pressure at the air inlet end of the vacuum generator cavity is reduced below atmospheric pressure, a certain vacuum degree is formed, and the feeding purpose is achieved.
[0040] The feeding support device 5 comprises a spring pipe pressing plate 18, a vertical adjusting base 19, a front and back adjusting base 20 and a front and back supporting base 21, the front and back adjusting base 20 is fixed on the centerless grinding machine tool seat mounting hole through the front and back supporting base 21, the front and back adjusting base 20 is connected with the vertical adjusting base 19, the vertical adjusting base 19 fixes the guide material spring pipe 17 through the inner hexagonal cylindrical head screw, and the workpiece to be ground is conveniently sent into the grinding area of the centerless grinding machine.
[0041] The vacuum generator support frame 13 is installed on the rack 1 through the support hinge 11.
[0042] The rack 1 is welded by Q235 square tubes, and the surface is treated by spraying RAL9005 matte black paint.
[0043] The rack 1 is provided with a linear ball guide perpendicular to the axial direction of the grinding wheel below the weight sensor 6 support plate, so that the position of the feeding vibration disc can be adjusted in use.
[0044] The material tray of the feeding vibration disc 2 is welded by SUS304 stainless steel, so that the welding seam is complete and water leakage is avoided; the inside of the material tray is treated by spraying plastic, so that the inner wall of the material tray is not damaged to workpieces.
[0045] The utility model discloses a centerless grinding machine for shaft parts, which can realize automatic through grinding of shaft parts with a diameter of 2-3 mm and a length of 5-20 mm.
[0046] Step one, the workpiece to be ground is put into the feeding vibration disc 2 after being screened, cleaned and impurity-removed by hand or machine;
[0047] Step two, start the vibrating disc, the vibrating disc starts feeding, after the grinding workpiece is discharged in the vibrating disc tray and continuously screened by the mechanical screening structure, the grinding workpiece is discharged axially parallel to the grinding wheel axial direction, the grinding workpiece is pushed out along the tray discharge track, and then enters the anti-blocking vacuum generator 4 through the vibrating disc feeding pipe 14. The narrow space formed by the vacuum generator feeding pipe 22 and the vacuum generator discharge pipe 25 in the anti-blocking vacuum generator 4 is under the action of compressed air, the nozzle forms a turbulent jet flow, and the flowing jet flow continuously sucks the air near the narrow space, so that the air pressure at the inlet of the vacuum generator cavity 23 is reduced to below atmospheric pressure, and a certain vacuum degree is formed. Under the premise of stable flow of compressed air, the smaller the narrow space formed by the vacuum generator inlet pipe 22 and the vacuum generator discharge pipe 25, the greater the vacuum degree generated, and the stronger the suction force. Under the premise that the narrow space formed by the vacuum generator inlet pipe and the vacuum generator discharge pipe can generate a certain vacuum degree with the help of compressed air, the greater the amount of compressed air, the stronger the suction force. The structure of the vacuum generator feeding pipe 22, the vacuum generator cavity 23 and the vacuum generator discharge pipe 25 is a stable structure, so the adjustment of the suction capacity of the anti-blocking vacuum generator 4 can be controlled by installing a manual throttle valve in the air path of the vacuum generator inlet pipe 24 to control the amount of compressed air. According to the actual situation, the feeding and discharging speed of the anti-blocking vacuum generator 4 can be adjusted. When the compressed air enters the vacuum generator cavity 23, the vacuum generator feeding pipe 22 and the vacuum generator discharge pipe 25 are one-way tapered structures, so under the condition that the outlet is unobstructed, the compressed gas continues to discharge along the pipeline to the outlet, and at the same time, the workpiece is given a pushing force to move towards the outlet. After reaching the guide spring pipe 17, the workpiece continues to move along the inside of the spring pipe and enters the grinding area of the centerless grinding machine. The compressed air is discharged along the spring pipe gap and returns to the atmosphere.
[0048] Step three, after the vibrating disc 2 continues to run for a period of time, the weight of the workpiece in the feeding tray decreases, and the weight change information is transmitted to the PLC control system through the weight sensor 6. The control system controls the driver of the stepping motor 8 according to different weight parameters, and controls the stepping motor 8 to adjust the vibrating disc controller 7. When the total weight of the workpiece to be ground decreases over time, and the feeding speed of the vibrating disc remains unchanged, the screening speed of the workpiece gradually decreases as the number of workpieces decreases, so the feeding speed also decreases accordingly. Conversely, when the vibrating disc speed gradually decreases as the workpiece to be ground gradually decreases, the vibrating disc feeding speed increases accordingly, which compensates for the weakness of the screening speed and stabilizes the feeding speed, achieving the purpose of linear control of the vibrating disc operation.
[0049] Step four, when the vibrating internal workpiece to be ground is completely discharged, the workpiece to be ground after screening, cleaning and impurity removal is added again, and the vibrating disc will adjust the feeding speed according to the actual weight to ensure stable feeding.
