[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides an automated high-precision grinding device for engine bearings, comprising:

[0027] The grinding assembly 100 includes a frame 101, a grinding machine host 102 fixedly installed in the middle of the frame 101, and a conveyor belt 103 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the frame 101. The conveyor belt 103 runs in the middle of the processing area of ​​the grinding machine host 102.

[0028] The feeding assembly 200 includes a support plate 201 fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 101, a bracket 202 fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 201, a guide pipe 203 movably inserted into the middle of the bracket 202, and a guide plate 204 fixedly installed on the side wall of the support plate 201. The end of the guide plate 204 is connected to the guide pipe 203, and the side wall of the support plate 201 is installed at the end of the conveyor belt 103.

[0029] The system is based on a frame 101 as the basic support structure. The grinding machine host 102 is fixedly installed in the middle of the frame 101 as the core grinding component. A conveyor belt 103 is adapted to be installed on the side wall of the frame 101 and passes through the middle of the processing area of ​​the grinding machine host 102. It is used to transport the engine bearings to be ground and the already ground bearings. A support plate 201 is fixed on the side wall of the frame 101. A bracket 202 is fixed on the upper end of the support plate 201 to cooperate in fixing the guide pipe 203. The guide plate 204 on the side wall of the support plate 201 is used to store the bearing material. The bearing material is conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt 103 by connecting with the guide pipe 203.

[0030] Specifically, the feeding assembly 200 also includes a push plate 205 inserted in the middle of the bracket 202, and a first cylinder 206 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 201. The push plate 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 206, and the end of the push plate 205 is inserted into the bottom of the guide tube 203.

[0031] The pusher plate 205 is fixed to the output end of the first cylinder 206, and its end is inserted into the bottom of the guide pipe 203, so that the first cylinder 206 can be driven by the control equipment. The first cylinder 206 drives the pusher plate 205 to push the bearing material at the bottom of the guide pipe 203 forward to the middle position of the end of the conveyor belt 103, so as to facilitate the feeding of the bearing.

[0032] Furthermore, the upper end of the push plate 205 is provided with a bent edge structure, the upper bent edge of the push plate 205 is higher than the bottom height of the guide tube 203, and the lower end of the push plate 205 is in sliding contact with the support plate 201.

[0033] The bent edge structure of the side wall of the push plate 205 can limit the push plate 205 and maintain the moving accuracy of the push plate 205, so that the bearing material can move more accurately to the middle of the conveyor belt 103.

[0034] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 200 also includes a limiting plate 207 installed on the side wall of the guide plate 204, and a sensor mounting plate 208 fixedly installed on the side wall of the limiting plate 207. The end of the sensor mounting plate 208 extends to the side wall of the guide plate 204, and the guide plate 204 has a groove structure in the middle.

[0035] The limiting plate 207 installed on the side wall of the guide plate 204 is mainly used to limit the movement range of the bearing on the guide plate 204 and prevent it from shifting. The sensor mounting plate 208, fixed to the side wall of the limiting plate 207, extends to the side wall of the guide plate 204, providing convenience for installing various sensors. The groove structure in the middle of the guide plate 204 is adapted to the shape of the bearing. When the bearing passes through the guide plate 204, the groove can further ensure the accurate position of the bearing, which is convenient for the sensor to detect its position, movement status and other information, and also facilitates timely detection of material shortage and replenishment.

[0036] Preferably, the grinding assembly 100 also includes a second cylinder 104 mounted on the side wall of the conveyor belt 103, and a limiting block 105 fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 104, the end of the limiting block 105 extending to the middle of the conveyor belt 103.

[0037] The second cylinder 104, installed on the side wall of the conveyor belt 103, and the limiting block 105 fixedly connected to its output end together constitute the positioning structure during bearing grinding. When the conveyor belt 103 transports the bearing to the processing area of ​​the grinding machine host 102, the second cylinder 104 is activated, pushing the limiting block 105 to extend, with its end extending to the middle of the conveyor belt 103. This accurately limits the bearing to the appropriate grinding position, ensuring that the grinding machine host 102 performs high-precision grinding on the bearing.

[0038] It should be noted that the grinding assembly 100 also includes a third cylinder 106 fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 101, a slide 107 fixedly installed on the output end of the third cylinder 106, and a connecting plate 108 fixedly connected to the output end of the slide 107. The end of the connecting plate 108 is used in conjunction with the support plate 201.

[0039] The third cylinder 106, fixedly mounted on the side wall of frame 101, has its output end connected to slide 107, which in turn is connected to connecting plate 108. This structure is responsible for the transfer of the bearing after grinding. When the third cylinder 106 is working, it pushes slide 107 to move linearly, thereby causing connecting plate 108 to extend or retract, facilitating the movement of the bearing material to the middle of conveyor belt 103 and then conveying it to the grinding processing area.

[0040] Preferably, the connecting plate 108 is installed in the middle area of ​​the conveyor belt 103, and the width of the connecting plate 108 is smaller than the width of the middle section of the conveyor belt 103.

[0041] The connecting plate 108 is installed in the middle area of ​​the conveyor belt 103, and its width is smaller than the middle width of the conveyor belt 103. This design does not affect the normal operation of the conveyor belt 103, and can smoothly transfer the ground bearings on the conveyor belt to the support plate 201 when needed for subsequent processing, thus realizing the continuity of the equipment's workflow.

[0042] During operation, the engine bearing enters the guide tube 203 via the guide plate 204. The first cylinder 206 pushes the push plate 205 upwards, and the bent edge of the push plate 205 lifts the bearing at the bottom of the guide tube 203, allowing it to enter the conveyor belt 103. As the bearing moves on the guide plate 204, the sensor on the sensor mounting plate 208 (which can be a proximity sensor or other sensors) detects information such as the bearing's position. The conveyor belt 103 transports the bearing to the processing area of ​​the grinding machine host 102. The second cylinder 104 pushes the limit block 105 to position the bearing in the appropriate grinding position, and the grinding machine host 102 performs high-precision grinding on the bearing. Material transfer process: After grinding, the third cylinder 106 pushes the slide table 107, causing the connecting plate 108 to extend, transferring the ground bearing from the conveyor belt to the support plate 201 for subsequent processing.

[0043] In summary, the coordinated operation of multiple cylinders and conveyor belts automates the process of feeding, grinding, and transferring engine bearings, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. Precise positioning structures, such as limit block 105 and push plate 205, ensure the bearing's positional accuracy during grinding, thereby achieving high-precision grinding and guaranteeing product quality.
