Traditional carbon ceramic or alloy steel brake disc processing generally adopts the mode of mechanical clamping combined with one-way cutting, which has multiple technical bottlenecks: first, as described in the patent with publication number CN202220954187, the blank adhered in the casting process needs to be separated into independent brake discs, but the traditional clamping device relies on rigid clamps or simple adhesives, which is easy to cause deviation due to vibration during cutting, resulting in uneven thickness or even material cracking. Second, for high-hardness carbon ceramic materials, existing equipment mostly uses manual polishing or mechanical stamping burr cleaning, which is low in efficiency and cannot meet the needs of automatic production lines, resulting in prolonged processing cycle.

[0003] Further, traditional mechanical cutting has the problems of large heat-affected zone and high risk of material deformation, especially for brittle materials such as carbon ceramic, micro-cracks are easily generated on the cutting surface, affecting the stability of braking performance.

[0004] More importantly, the existing device lacks reusability and adaptability, cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the size of the workpiece, and is only suitable for specific diameter workpieces; and the traditional grinding wheel replacement efficiency is low, indirectly increasing the equipment downtime. These defects jointly restrict the large-scale and efficient production of high-value brake discs, and there is an urgent need for a new type of cutting device. SUMMARY

[0045] The brake disc cutting device is described in detail below through the following embodiments.

[0046] In this embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the brake disc cutting device comprises a workbench 1 arranged horizontally; Figures 1 to 3

[0047] A first moving mechanism 2 is arranged on the workbench 1 in a first direction;

[0048] A rotating mechanism 3 is arranged on the first moving mechanism 2, the first moving mechanism 2 is used to drive the rotating mechanism 3 to reciprocate in the first direction, and the rotating mechanism 3 is used to fix the workpiece to be cut and drive the workpiece to rotate;

The first moving mechanism 2 is a screw block mechanism and is installed on the workbench 1 in the horizontal left-right direction, the screw rod of which is driven by a servo motor, and the stroke of the block is 0-300mm; the second moving mechanism 4 is installed on the right side area of the workbench 1 in the vertical up-down direction and is located at the right side of the first moving mechanism 2, and the screw pitch is 5mm. The rotating mechanism 3 is fixed on the block of the first moving mechanism 2 through an L-shaped fixing block, the negative pressure adsorption mechanism 6 is located between the two moving mechanisms, an inverted L-shaped connecting block is arranged on the block of the second moving mechanism 4 to avoid the negative pressure adsorption mechanism 6 during the up-down movement of the block, and the negative pressure adsorption mechanism 6 keeps a gap of 2-5mm with the non-cutting surface of the workpiece (the right surface of the workpiece). The cutting mechanism 5 is fixed on the connecting block of the block of the second moving mechanism 4, the brake disc to be cut is usually a carbon ceramic disc and is fixed on the base disc 302 of the rotating mechanism 3 through a thermosetting adhesive, the cutting mechanism 5 comprises a motor-driven bevel gear set and a cutting piece 501, and the cutting piece 501 is coaxially fixed with a bevel gear, so as to form a linkage cutting path in which the first moving mechanism 2 adjusts the left-right position of the rotating mechanism 3 in the horizontal direction, and the second moving mechanism 4 adjusts the position of the cutting mechanism 5 in the vertical direction.

[0053] ​In use, the negative pressure suction mechanism 6 is turned on, the first moving mechanism 2 drives the rotating mechanism 3 and the workpiece to the right, and the non-cutting surface of the workpiece is attached to the negative pressure suction mechanism 6, so that the non-cutting surface of the workpiece is adsorbed on the negative pressure suction mechanism 6. Then, according to the required cutting thickness, the workpiece is moved to the left, the cutting mechanism 5 and the second moving mechanism 4 are turned on to cut, and in the cutting process, the cutting mechanism 5 can be withdrawn according to the cutting progress, and the rotating mechanism 3 is turned on to drive the workpiece to rotate by a certain angle and then cut again, or the rotating mechanism 3 is turned on to drive the workpiece to rotate synchronously in the cutting process, and the height of the cutting mechanism 5 is gradually lowered as the cutting progresses.

[0054] The part cut off on the right side of the workpiece is adsorbed and fixed by the negative pressure suction mechanism 6, so as to avoid the case that the cut part directly falls and is damaged.

[0055] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The negative pressure suction mechanism includes:

[0056] The support seat 601 is arranged on the upper side of the workbench 1 and is provided with an annular clamping groove.

[0057] The suction cup 602 is hollow and is rotatably clamped in the annular clamping groove and is provided with a plurality of first through holes on the side facing the workpiece.

[0058] The joint 603 is fixed on the support seat 601, one end of which is in communication with the space in the annular clamping groove, and the other end is in communication with the negative pressure source.

[0059] In the embodiment, the negative pressure suction mechanism 6 further includes:

[0060] The fixed seat 604 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1 and is provided with a sliding groove, and the support seat 601 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove.

[0061] The tension spring 605 is connected with the fixed seat 604 and the support seat 601, respectively.

[0062] In the technical solution, the support seat 601 is an aluminum alloy casting, the annular clamping groove is thick in the middle and thin at both ends, the hollow suction disc 602 extends from the left side of the support seat 601 and is clamped into the thick middle of the annular clamping groove in the form of clearance fit, and the hollow suction disc 602 can rotate freely around the annular clamping groove of the support seat 601. The side of the suction disc 602 facing the workpiece, that is, the left side, is uniformly provided with a plurality of first through holes with a diameter of Φ2 mm and a circumferentially uniform arrangement. The first through holes are in communication with the hollow part of the suction disc 602 by extending to the right. The joint 603 is in communication with a negative pressure source (such as a vacuum pump) through a quick release interface. When the suction disc 602 contacts the workpiece, the negative pressure forms an adsorption force field through the annular clamping groove and the first through holes, covering an area of more than 85% of the side of the workpiece. The fixed seat 604 is provided with a left-right penetrating rectangular sliding groove. The bottom of the support seat 601 is adapted to the structure of the sliding groove of the fixed seat 604, so that the support seat 601 can slide left and right along the sliding groove, and the support seat 601 is allowed to slide ±20 mm along the X axis. The right end of the tension spring 605 is fixed to the left side of the fixed seat 604, and the left end is connected to the side wall of the support seat 601 through a hook (not shown in the figure). In the normal state, the support seat 601 is kept in a state of having a gap with the cutting piece 501, so as to pull the cut part of the workpiece to the right during cutting, thereby reducing the acting force between the cut part and the cutting piece 501.

[0063] In some technical solutions, the diameter of the thick middle of the annular clamping groove is Φ180 mm, the diameter of the thin left side is Φ120 mm, the diameter of the thin right side is adapted to the joint 603 to be installed, and the outer diameter tolerance of the annular clamping groove and the hollow suction disc 602 is H7 / g6.

[0064] It is worth noting that the annular clamping groove of the support seat 601 is coaxially arranged with the hollow suction disc 602 and the suction disc 602 of the rotating mechanism 3.

[0065] In the embodiment, the rotating mechanism 3 comprises:

[0066] The driving motor 301 is fixedly arranged on the moving part of the first moving mechanism 2.

[0067] The base disc 302 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 301 and is provided with a thermoplastic coating layer close to the side of the workpiece.

[0068] In the technical solution, the driving motor 301 is fixed on the L-shaped connecting block at the top of the sliding block of the first moving mechanism 2 by bolts, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor 301 is in interference fit with the base disc 302. The thermoplastic coating layer on the surface of the base disc 302 is an ABS resin layer with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a softening point of 120°C. The second through holes horizontally penetrate the base disc 302 from left to right, and are used for injecting cooling liquid (isopropyl alcohol) during cutting or for later solvent permeation to facilitate disassembly of the workpiece.

[0069] In the embodiment, the base disc 302 is provided with a plurality of second through holes.

[0070] In the technical solution, three groups of second through holes are evenly arranged on the circumference of the base plate 302, and are arranged in a 120° annular distribution. Each group of second through holes is provided with multiple rows and multiple columns. On the one hand, the second through holes can assist in heat dissipation during cutting. On the other hand, the second through holes can be used to apply solvent when removing the adhesive.

[0071] In some technical solutions, the spacing between adjacent second through holes in the same row is 15 mm, the spacing between adjacent second through holes in the same column is 10 mm, and the diameter of the second through hole is Φ3 mm.

[0072] In the embodiment, the cutting blade 501 of the cutting mechanism 5 is a diamond cutter.

[0073] In the technical solution, the diamond cutter is fixedly connected to a bevel gear of the cutting mechanism 5 through a rotating shaft. The density of the diamond particles on the outer edge of the cutter is 120 mesh.

[0074] In some technical solutions, during the cutting process, the lead screw driven rotating mechanism 3 of the first moving mechanism 2 drives the workpiece to move left, for example, at a feed speed of 0.1-5 m / min. The lead screw of the second moving mechanism 4 synchronously controls the cutter to press down, forming a spiral progressive cutting trajectory. When the cutting thickness reaches a set value (such as 0.5 mm), the motor of the second moving mechanism is reversed to lift the cutter, and the first moving mechanism 2 is reset to complete a single cycle.

[0075] In some specific technical solutions, the control system of the cutting device adopts closed-loop servo driving. The movement of the first moving mechanism 2 and the second moving mechanism 4 is synchronized with the motor of the rotating mechanism 3 and the cutting structure through code. The rotation speed of the rotating mechanism 3 and the feed speed of the second moving mechanism 4 are matched according to the rule that the workpiece is rotated by 0.5° for every 1 mm of downward cutting.

[0076] In another technical solution, the negative pressure adsorption mechanism 6 monitors the adsorption force in real time through a pressure sensor. When the pressure fluctuation is detected to be greater than 10%, an emergency stop is triggered to prevent the workpiece from falling off.

[0077] In some other technical solutions, the cutting device is also provided with a cooling device. The cooling device includes a spray head arranged on the workbench 1 and a water pump in communication with the spray head pipeline. The water pump is in communication with a water source.

[0078] It is worth noting that the support seat 601 and the suction cup 602 can be arranged in a split structure for assembly with each other during actual production.
