Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of ball joints, and more particularly to an adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A ball joint typically consists of a sphere and a ball-and-socket seat that mates with it. The sphere can rotate in multiple directions within the ball-and-socket, similar to the movement of a human joint. The sphere can rotate flexibly within different angle ranges, while the ball-and-socket serves to accommodate and limit the sphere's rotation range and provide support. There is usually a certain gap between the two to ensure flexible rotation, while simultaneously ensuring a certain level of fit precision to meet operational requirements.

[0003] Ball joints need to be ground before use, mainly to ensure their good performance and working accuracy. This process improves fitting accuracy, reduces surface roughness, enhances contact performance, ensures movement flexibility, and improves sealing. Existing ball joint grinding methods mostly involve manually grinding after adding grinding paste to the ball joint seat. This process is labor-intensive and the grinding effect is poor. When grinding with a ball joint grinding machine, the installation accuracy requirements are high. Furthermore, if the accuracy deviation of the ball joint is large during the operation of the ball joint grinding machine, the device may be damaged due to rigid contact. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the aforementioned problems of poor manual grinding effect and poor self-adaptability of mechanical grinding, which may lead to damage to the device, this application is made.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism, which aims to protect the observation equipment from contamination and facilitate the rinsing of the dissected area.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism of this utility model, the front limiting part includes a front fixing block fixedly disposed on the front support plate, a front sliding rod fixedly disposed on the front fixing block, and a front limiting ring disposed on the front sliding rod and threadedly connected thereto.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism of this utility model, the front limiting part further includes a front sliding ring slidably disposed on the front sliding rod, a front spring disposed between the front sliding plate and the front sliding ring, and the rear wall of the front sliding plate is elastically connected to the front sliding ring through the front spring.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism of this utility model, the first rear sliding part includes two linear modules fixedly disposed on the rear support plate, and a rear sliding plate slidably disposed on the linear modules.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the adaptive ball joint grinding mechanism of this utility model, the second rear sliding part includes two rear slide rails fixedly disposed on the rear sliding plate, a slider slidably disposed on the rear slide rails, a rear grinding motor fixedly disposed on the slider, and a rear centering clamping assembly disposed on the rear grinding motor and driven by the rear grinding motor. The rear centering clamping assembly is configured to cooperate with the front centering clamping assembly.

The servo motor is started to make the rear support plate reciprocate for further grinding. Compared with manual grinding, it saves manpower and improves the grinding effect.

[0021] By rotating the front and rear limit rings respectively, the movement range of the front and rear sliding rings can be adjusted. During the grinding process, the ball joint and the device may be damaged due to the deviation of the installation position and the low precision of the ball joint itself. By setting the front and rear springs, the ball joint seat and ball head are effectively ground while providing a suitable movement range for both. Compared with the traditional device, this effectively protects the ball joint and the device itself and improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0039] A rear grinding mechanism 3 is provided above the rear support plate 111. The rear grinding mechanism 3 includes a first rear sliding part 31 disposed on the support part 11. The first rear sliding part 31 includes two linear modules 311 fixedly disposed on the rear support plate 111 and a rear sliding plate 312 slidably disposed on the linear modules 311.

[0040] A second rear sliding part 32 is provided on the first rear sliding part 31. The second rear sliding part 32 includes two rear slide rails 321 fixedly disposed on the rear sliding plate 312, a slider 322 slidably disposed on the rear slide rails 321, a rear grinding motor 323 fixedly disposed on the slider 322, and a rear centering clamping assembly 324 disposed on the rear grinding motor 323 and driven by the rear grinding motor 323.

[0041] The front centering clamping assembly 222 and the rear centering clamping assembly 324 are both common centering clamping mechanisms. Centering clamping mechanisms are widely used devices in machining, assembly, and other fields, including mechanical lever type, pneumatic type, hydraulic type, and electromagnetic type. They are mainly used to accurately position and clamp workpieces to ensure machining or assembly accuracy. The core function of the centering clamping mechanism is to achieve workpiece centering and clamping. Centering ensures that the workpiece is in a specific position and angle, so that the central axis or key part of the workpiece is accurately aligned with the motion axis of the machining equipment or other relevant references; clamping securely fixes the workpiece in a certain way to prevent displacement or loosening during machining or operation. In ball joint grinding, the centering clamping mechanism can clamp the ball head end and the ball joint seat end respectively, ensuring their accurate relative positions for precise grinding.

The rear wall of the slider 322 is elastically connected to the rear sliding ring 334 through the rear spring 335.

[0043] During use, the front centering clamping assembly 222 and the rear centering clamping assembly 324 are started to clamp the ball joint seat 142 and the ball head 141 respectively. Grinding paste is added to the ball joint seat 142. The linear module 311 is started to make the ball head 141 fit against the ball joint seat 142. The front grinding motor 221 and the rear grinding motor 323 are started in stages, and the ball joint seat 142 and the ball head 141 rotate for grinding. The servo motor 13 is started to make the rear support plate 111 reciprocate for further grinding.

[0044] Rotate the front limit ring 235 and the rear limit ring 333 respectively to adjust the movement range of the front sliding ring 234 and the rear sliding ring 334. During the grinding process, the ball joint and the device may be damaged due to the deviation of the installation position and the low precision of the ball joint itself. By setting the front spring 233 and the rear spring 335, the ball joint seat 142 and the ball head 141 are effectively ground while providing a suitable movement range for both, which effectively protects the ball joint and the device itself and improves the practicality of the device.
