Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding equipment technology, specifically a steel ring weld grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of steel ring welding and manufacturing, weld grinding is a core process to ensure product dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Current technologies generally employ fixed grinding wheels or semi-automated robotic arm grinding equipment, whose typical structure includes basic tooling fixtures, a rotary drive module, and a single-point grinding tool. Fixed grinding wheels rely on manual adjustment of the steel ring angle and control of the grinding wheel feed via a foot switch. While inexpensive, this method suffers from poor processing consistency and high labor intensity. Automated equipment, on the other hand, often uses a servo motor-driven three-jaw chuck to hold the steel ring, combined with a six-axis robotic arm following a preset trajectory to perform grinding. While this improves work efficiency, it is prone to system resonance during high-speed grinding.

[0003] The drawback of existing technology is that the workpiece displacement caused by mechanical vibration during the grinding process is relatively large. When using high-power grinding equipment to grind welds, the vibration acceleration of the equipment body can reach 12-15 m / s². 2 After being transferred to the steel ring by the clamp, the steel ring experiences periodic displacement deviation, causing it to move radially.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a steel ring weld grinding machine to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] The information disclosed above in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background section of this utility model, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not illustrated to scale. For clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of the parts shown in the drawings have been exaggerated or reduced in size. Any size is only illustrative and not limiting.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Please see Figure 1 A steel ring weld grinding machine includes: a workbench 1, and a grinding actuator including a multi-joint robotic arm 2 mounted on the workbench 1 and a grinding actuator 3 mounted at its end; a support plate 4 fixed on the workbench 1; a positioning drive mechanism including a double-roller drive wheel system 5 mounted at the bottom of the support plate 4 and in contact with the outer edge of the steel ring, and a double-roller positioning unit 6 mounted at the top of the support plate 4; and a control terminal 7 mounted on the support plate 4 and electrically connected to the multi-joint robotic arm 2, the grinding actuator 3, the double-roller drive wheel system 5, and the double-roller positioning unit 6.

[0046] In the above technical solution, the multi-joint robotic arm 2 and the grinding actuator 3 are both existing devices used to grind the weld seam of the steel ring.

[0047] The double-roller drive system 5 in the positioning drive mechanism is used to place the steel ring. The outer edge of the bottom of the steel ring contacts the double-roller drive system 5, and works with the double-roller positioning unit 6 to perform actions according to the working conditions: when the double-roller positioning unit 6 applies pressure to the steel ring, the double-roller drive system 5 and the double-roller positioning unit 6 provide clamping force for the steel ring to avoid the steel ring from moving due to adverse factors such as vibration during the weld grinding process; when the pressure of the double-roller positioning unit 6 decreases, it drives the steel ring to rotate through the double-roller drive system 5 until the next grinding point.

[0048] The pressure regulation of the double roller positioning unit 6 relies on the preset parameterized control logic of the control terminal 7. Given that the steel ring is a standardized industrial product with definite external dimensions, an automatic matching mechanism for pressure parameters can be realized by constructing a process database. That is, different models of steel rings can correspond to different optimal pressure thresholds. During the weld grinding stage, the double roller positioning unit 6 maintains a constant clamping torque. When the work position needs to be adjusted, it switches to low-pressure drive mode and achieves angle positioning through the double roller transmission wheel system 5.

[0049] The advantage of the above technical solution is that, through the coordinated cooperation of the double roller drive wheel system 5 and the double roller positioning unit 6, the problem of large workpiece displacement caused by mechanical vibration in traditional grinding operations is solved.

[0050] In addition, another advantage of the above technical solution is that the pressure can be dynamically adjusted according to the grinding conditions, avoiding excessive pressure from hindering the rotation adjustment during station change, and avoiding excessive vibration displacement caused by excessively low pressure.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The double roller drive system 5 includes: a first drive motor 51, fixed on the workbench 1; two sets of drive rollers 52, rotatably connected to the support plate 4, and the two sets of drive rollers 52 are connected by a synchronous belt 53; the output shaft of the first drive motor 51 is fixed to one of the drive rollers 52, and the drive roller 52 adopts a bidirectional linear tapering geometry, and its outer diameter is symmetrically distributed along its axial center.

[0052] The process of driving the steel ring to rotate is completed under low pressure conditions. During driving: the first drive motor 51 drives the transmission roller 52 to rotate, and the transmission roller 52 drives the steel ring to rotate. The low pressure provided by the double roller positioning unit 6 can maintain the stability of the steel ring during the rotation process.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The double roller positioning unit 6 includes: a top plate 61, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 4; a pressure actuator 62, which is located below the top plate 61; and a horizontal drive mechanism 63, which is installed on the top plate 61 and the support plate 4 and is used to drive the pressure actuator 62 to move linearly.

[0054] The pressure actuator 62 has two sets, which are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the two sets of transmission rollers 52. Each set of pressure actuator 62 includes: two sets of vertical guide rods 621, which have a sliding groove and are fixed at the top of the top plate 61. A telescopic rod 622 is movably installed inside the guide rods 623; two sets of transmission rods 623, which are connected to the horizontal drive mechanism 63 at the top and pass through the sliding groove and are rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 622 at the bottom; and a positioning roller 624, which is rotatably connected between the two sets of transmission rods 623 and has the same shape as the transmission rollers 52.

[0055] Based on this, the roller surface of the positioning roller 624 is covered with a rubber layer with a high coefficient of friction to ensure the stability of the steel ring when it is clamped.

[0056] The horizontal drive mechanism 63 includes: a second drive motor 631, fixed in the inner cavity of the top plate 61; a bidirectional lead screw 632, which is connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 631 through a gear pair, and both ends extend out of the top plate 61 and are rotatably connected to the support plate 4; a slide table 633, which has two sets, respectively threaded onto both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 632, and the top end of the transmission rod 623 is rotatably connected to the slide table 633; ​​and a horizontal guide rod 634, which is fixed on both sides of the top plate 61 and fixed to the support plate 4, and the slide table 633 is slidably mounted on the horizontal guide rod 634.

[0057] During operation, the second drive motor 631 drives the bidirectional lead screw 632 to rotate, causing the slide table 633 to move linearly, which in turn drives the transmission rod 623 to move and change its angle. The bottom end of the transmission rod 623 moves downward in the vertical direction, which in turn drives the telescopic rod 622 to move downward, thereby causing the positioning roller 624 to move downward to clamp the steel ring.

[0058] In the above technical solution, since the transmission roller 52 with a bidirectional linear tapering configuration and the positioning roller 624 with the same configuration are adopted, the displacement deviation caused by grinding vibration can be further suppressed when the clamping force is applied during the grinding stage.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and combined Figure 1 In comparison, the support plate 4 also has an inlet and outlet for loading and unloading steel rings. During loading, the positioning roller 624 is in the initial state. After installation through the inlet and outlet, it is controlled to press down. During the unloading stage, the positioning roller 624 is reset and can be unloaded from the inlet and outlet.

[0061] Working principle: In use, the steel ring is first installed on the double roller drive gear train 5 in the initial state. The operator inputs relevant information such as the steel ring model into the control terminal 7. The control terminal 7 controls the double roller positioning unit 6 to press down. In high pressure mode, the weld seam is ground by the cooperation of the multi-joint robotic arm 2 and the grinding actuator 3. The control terminal 7 controls the switch to low pressure mode, and controls the double roller drive gear train 5 to drive the steel ring to rotate, so as to realize the switching of the work position. After the grinding is completed, the double roller positioning unit 6 is reset, and the steel ring can be unloaded.
