[0002] The valve sleeve is an important component of a valve, mainly used to support and guide the movement of the valve core. During the production process, a valve sleeve inner hole grinding device is used to improve the machining accuracy and surface finish of the valve sleeve inner hole. The valve sleeve inner hole grinding device generally includes a rotatable indexing plate on the frame, with fixtures installed circumferentially at equal intervals on the indexing plate. The valve sleeve is clamped in the fixtures, and the inner hole of the valve sleeve is ground by the honing component at the top of the fixture.
[0003] Existing automatic honing devices for grinding valve sleeve inner holes require time for setup and adjustment when changing fixtures or tools, and manual calibration is needed to align the workpiece held in the fixture with the honing head of the honing assembly. This cannot achieve rapid alignment and affects production efficiency. Therefore, we propose an automatic honing device for grinding valve sleeve inner holes. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention relates to an automatic centering honing device for grinding the inner hole of a valve sleeve, comprising a frame 1, a plurality of honing components 2 are mounted in a circumferentially equidistant array on the upper seat of the frame 1, an indexing plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the lower seat of the frame 1, and a centering component 6 is fixedly mounted at the top axis of the indexing plate 4. The centering component 6 includes a housing 8, a transmission component 10 is provided inside the housing 8, a drive component 7 is connected to the power input end of the transmission component 10, and a centering abutment assembly 9 is connected to the power output end of the transmission component 10.
[0025] The transmission assembly 10 includes a turntable 1002 rotatably mounted in the housing 8. The top of the turntable 1002 is provided with a spiral tooth 1003 and a plurality of racks 1001 are meshed with the spiral tooth 1003.
[0026] The centering abutment assembly 9 includes a connecting frame 902 mounted on the outer end of the rack 1001. A first centering abutment 901 and a second centering abutment 903 are fixedly mounted on the top and bottom of the connecting frame 902, respectively. Both the first centering abutment 901 and the second centering abutment 903 are V-shaped with their openings facing outwards. This invention, by fixing the centering assembly 6 at the top axis of the rotatable indexing plate 4, allows the rack 1001 to extend or retract synchronously by the same distance via the top spiral teeth 1003 when the turntable 1002 rotates. When changing the fixture 5 or the cutting tool, the V-shaped first centering abutment 901 and the second centering abutment can be aligned. 903 extends the same distance simultaneously, abutting against each of the unremoved honing components 2 and fixtures 5 for calibration and positioning. This allows for the quick installation of fixtures 5 or tools in the corresponding positions and completion of calibration and alignment, improving efficiency. Furthermore, the design incorporates a first alignment abutment 901 and a second alignment abutment 903, both shaped like a "V" with their openings facing outwards. The "V"-shaped alignment abutments symmetrically abut against the unremoved honing components 2 and fixtures 5 along two lines. This symmetrical abutment ensures more precise alignment and positioning during the abutment process, allowing for quick positioning of the disassembled honing components 2 and fixtures 5 and rapid calibration and alignment for the installation of the honing components 2 and fixtures 5.
[0027] Furthermore, several clamps 5 are installed in a circular equidistant array on the top of the indexing plate 4. The clamps 5 are aligned with the honing assembly 2. A coolant spraying assembly 3 is also installed on the lower seat of the frame 1. During honing, coolant is sprayed onto the honing area to prevent the honing area from overheating. The coolant spraying assembly 3 is connected to an external coolant supply assembly and both are existing products. The indexing plate 4 is an automatically rotating indexing plate 4 and is also an existing product.
[0028] Furthermore, the drive assembly 7 includes a servo motor 701, the power output end of which is connected to a first gear 702, and the first gear 702 is externally meshed with a second gear 703. The shaft of the second gear 703 is connected to the shaft of a turntable 1002 via a connecting rod for easy driving.
[0029] Furthermore, the housing 8 includes an outer shell 801 fixedly installed at the top axis of the indexing plate 4, and the outer shell 801 has a plurality of sliding grooves 802 arranged in a circumferentially equidistant array.
[0030] Furthermore, the rack 1001 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 802, the first pair of center abutments 901 corresponds to the honing assembly 2, and the second pair of center abutments 903 corresponds to the clamp 5, which allows the rack 1001 to slide out or slide in smoothly.
[0031] Working Principle: This embodiment provides an automatic centering honing device for grinding the inner hole of a valve sleeve. In use, this invention uses a centering component 6 fixedly installed at the top axis of a rotatable indexing plate 4. When the turntable 1002 rotates, the top spiral teeth 1003 cause the rack 1001 to extend or retract synchronously by the same distance. When changing the clamp 5 or the cutting tool, the "V"-shaped first centering abutment 901 and the second centering abutment 903 extend simultaneously by the same distance, simultaneously abutting against each unremoved honing component 2 and clamp 5 for calibration and positioning. This allows for quick installation of the clamp 5 or cutting tool in the corresponding position and completion of calibration and centering. High efficiency is achieved through the design of a first and second pair of centering abutments 901 and 903, both shaped like a "V" with their openings facing outwards. These "V"-shaped centering abutments symmetrically hold the unremoved honing assembly 2 and fixture 5 along two lines. This symmetrical holding ensures precise alignment during alignment, allowing for quick positioning of the disassembled honing assembly 2 and fixture 5. It also facilitates rapid alignment and installation of the honing assembly 2 and fixture 5. When it is necessary to replace the fixture 5 or the cutting tool, external power supply activates the servo motor 701 via an external switch, controlling its forward rotation. The servo motor 701 then drives the first gear 702 clockwise. As the needle rotates, the first gear 702 is externally meshed with a larger diameter second gear 703. The second gear 703 rotates slowly counterclockwise in sync, causing the turntable 1002 to rotate slowly counterclockwise in sync. The turntable 1002 has a spiral tooth 1003 at its top, which meshes with several racks 1001. These racks 1001 are circumferentially and evenly distributed at the top of the turntable 1002. As the racks 1001 extend synchronously, the end-aligning abutment assemblies 901 also extend synchronously until, upon manual observation, a "V" shape is formed, with the first and second alignment abutments 901 simultaneously abutting against each of the remaining unremoved parts. The honing assembly 2 and fixture 5 are calibrated and positioned. The servo motor 701 is self-locked by an external switch. The honing assembly 2 and fixture 5 to be replaced are disassembled, and the new honing assembly 2 and fixture 5 are installed one by one. The honing assembly 2 can be installed by pressing the double lines against the inner wall of the first centering abutment 901, and the fixture 5 can be installed by pressing against the inner wall of the second centering abutment 903. After installation, the honing assembly 2 and fixture 5 are still aligned, which can be quickly aligned and save time (the honing assembly 2, coolant spray assembly 3, indexing plate 4, fixture 5 and servo motor 701 are all existing products on the market and are all connected to external switches and external power supplies).

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
