Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding technology, specifically to a grinding machine for machining crankshaft connecting rod journals. Background Technology
[0002] Crankshaft connecting rod journals are generally round with a smooth surface. They require high-precision machining to ensure a tight fit with the connecting rod. The surface of the connecting rod journal needs to be very smooth and have a regular shape. Grinding machines can achieve high-precision cylindrical machining, reduce surface roughness, and improve the wear resistance and service life of the crankshaft.
[0003] However, in the prior art, due to the large number of crankshaft connecting rod journal models, traditional clamping and positioning methods are not suitable for adapting to the numerous models of crankshaft connecting rod journal workpieces during grinding. This leads to easy displacement of the workpiece during processing, affecting the machining accuracy. Relying solely on a single clamping structure results in a small contact area and low friction at the clamping position, which cannot provide sufficient support and stability when grinding complex-shaped workpieces such as crankshaft connecting rod journals. To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a grinding machine for machining crankshaft connecting rod journals to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] This application provides a grinding machine for machining crankshaft connecting rod journals, solving the problems of existing grinding machines being inconvenient to adapt to a wide variety of crankshaft connecting rod journal workpieces, causing workpiece displacement during machining and affecting machining accuracy, and relying solely on a single clamping structure with a small contact area and low friction, which cannot provide sufficient support and stability when grinding complex-shaped workpieces such as crankshaft connecting rod journals.
[0034] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0035] Example 1: This utility model embodiment discloses a grinding machine for machining crankshaft connecting rod journals, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a frame 1, an electric push rod 2, a mill 3, a motor 4, a clamping base 5, a basic clamping block 6, an adjustment unit 7, and a secondary clamping assembly 8;
[0036] The frame 1 serves as the overall support structure for the grinding machine, providing an installation platform for other components.
[0037] The electric push rod 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to drive the mill 3 to perform linear motion. When grinding is required, the electric push rod 2 is started, pushing the mill 3 close to the connecting rod neck of the workpiece. After reaching the appropriate processing distance, the electric push rod 2 is stopped.
[0038] The mill 3 is installed at the output end of the electric push rod 2, and the output end is equipped with a grinding head 31. The guide plate 32 on the mill 3 is slidably connected to the track 33 on the frame 1, and can move along the track 33 to ensure smooth feeding and uniform grinding of the grinding head 31. In use, the mill 3 is started, and the grinding head 31 begins to rotate at high speed to grind the connecting rod neck.
[0039] The motor 4 is fixed on the frame 1 and provides power to the clamping base 5, enabling the clamping base 5 to drive the workpiece to rotate.
[0040] The clamping base 5 is installed at the output end of the motor 4 and is used to fix and rotate the workpiece. Before machining, the crankshaft is installed on the clamping base 5, and the motor 4 drives the clamping base 5 to rotate, so that the connecting rod journal is machined evenly at all positions.
[0041] The base clamping block 6 is slidably connected to the clamping base 5 for initial clamping of the workpiece. Based on the shape and size of the crankshaft, the position of the base clamping block 6 is adjusted via the adjusting unit 7 to ensure a tight fit with the workpiece, thus achieving initial fixation of the workpiece.
[0042] The adjustment unit 7 includes a limiting groove 71, an adjusting block 72, and a bidirectional screw 73. During adjustment, rotating the bidirectional screw 73 causes the adjusting block 72 to move within the limiting groove 71 due to its threaded connection to the adjusting block 72 and its sliding within the limiting groove 71. This rotation of the bidirectional screw 73 moves the adjusting block 72 within the limiting groove 71, thereby causing the base clamping block 6 to move accordingly to accommodate different workpiece sizes and shapes.
[0043] The secondary clamping assembly 8 provides secondary clamping for the workpiece, further improving clamping stability. The secondary clamping assembly 8 includes a slider 81, a chuck 82, and a lead screw 83. The slider 81 is slidably connected inside the base clamping block 6, and the chuck 82 is fixed to the slider 81. By rotating the lead screw 83, which is threaded to the base clamping block 6 and rotatably connected to the slider 81, the rotation of the lead screw 83 causes the slider 81 to slide within the base clamping block 6, thereby moving the chuck 82 closer to or further away from the workpiece, achieving secondary clamping or loosening of the workpiece.
[0044] The combination of the basic clamping block 6, the adjustment unit 7, and the secondary clamping assembly 8 enables stable and reliable clamping of workpieces of different sizes and shapes. The large contact area at the clamping points and multi-point clamping effectively prevent workpiece deformation and displacement during processing, providing a solid foundation for grinding. In conjunction with the motor 4 driving the workpiece to rotate, the grinding head 31 can grind the connecting rod neck in all directions and evenly, improving machining accuracy and surface quality.
[0045] Example 2: This utility model embodiment discloses a grinding machine for machining crankshaft connecting rod journals, according to the attached... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a frame 1, an electric push rod 2, a mill 3, a motor 4, a clamping base 5, a basic clamping block 6, an adjustment unit 7, and a secondary clamping assembly 8;
[0046] The electric push rod 2 is mounted on the frame 1;
[0047] The mill 3 is located at the output end of the electric push rod 2, and the output end of the mill 3 is equipped with a grinding head 31.
[0048] Motor 4 is mounted on frame 1;
[0049] The clamping base 5 is located at the output end of the motor 4;
[0050] The basic clamping block 6 is slidably connected to the clamping base 5 and is used to clamp the workpiece;
[0051] The adjustment unit 7 is disposed on the clamping base 5 and is used to adjust the base clamping block 6;
[0052] The secondary clamping component 8 is mounted on the base clamping block 6 and is used for secondary clamping of the workpiece.
[0053] The secondary clamping component 8 includes:
[0054] Slider 81 is slidably connected inside the base clamping block 6;
[0055] The chuck 82 is mounted on the slider 81;
[0056] The lead screw 83 is rotatably connected to the slider 81 and threadedly connected to the base clamping block 6.
[0057] The slider 81 and the chuck 82 are fixed together by bolts, which ensures that the model of the chuck 82 can be easily replaced, thereby adapting to the clamping and limiting of workpieces of various shapes, and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the workpiece clamping process.
[0058] The frame 1 is provided with a reinforcing bearing 11, which is used to support the shaft connecting the clamping base 5 and the output end of the motor 4, thereby ensuring the good stability of the clamping base 5.
