Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of large-size ball screw processing technology, and in particular relates to a grinding device for both ends of a large-size ball screw. Background Technology

[0002] Large-size ball screws consist of a screw shaft, nut, balls, support bearings, etc. They are mainly divided into internal circulation type and external circulation type, and have the functions of motion conversion, high-precision positioning, high load-bearing capacity and multiple installation methods.

[0003] Large-sized lead screw shafts require grinding after annealing. Due to their length and weight, these shafts typically have a diameter of at least 80mm and a length exceeding two meters. Existing small grinding machines are insufficient, requiring manual assistance for rotation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive for technicians. Furthermore, the annealed portions of the lead screw shaft are located on both sides of the shaft end, necessitating manual reversal of the grinding direction. In addition to grinding the outer diameter of the lead screw shaft, deep grinding of the spiral grooves is also necessary.

[0004] Therefore, we need to design a grinding device for both ends of large-size lead screws to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a grinding device for both ends of a large-size lead screw.

[0009] Furthermore, a top support cylinder is fixedly installed on the main frame, and the output end of the top support cylinder is connected to the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the longitudinal movement component includes a support frame, on which a linear guide rail and a longitudinal thrust cylinder are fixedly mounted.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, a grinding device for both ends of a large-size lead screw includes a main frame 1, on which a drive mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted. The drive mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 209, a drive roller 203, and a support roller 208. The output end of the drive motor 209 is connected to the drive roller 203, and the support roller 208 is located on one side of the drive roller 203. A grinding mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the main frame 1. The grinding mechanism 3 includes a longitudinal moving component and a transverse moving component. The moving direction of the longitudinal moving component is parallel to the axis of the lead screw 5, and the moving direction of the transverse moving component intersects with the moving direction of the longitudinal moving component. A grinding component is provided on the transverse moving component, and a support component 4 is provided on one side of the grinding component.

[0028] The drive mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 201, on which two support plates 202 are fixedly mounted. A drive roller 203 is located between the two support plates 202, and both ends of the drive roller 203 are rotatably connected to the support plates 202. A driven pulley 204 is fixedly mounted on one end of the drive roller 203. A drive motor 209 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 201 on one side of the drive roller 203, and a drive pulley 205 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 209. The drive pulley 205 and the driven pulley 204 are connected by a transmission belt 206. The diameter of the drive pulley 205 is smaller than the diameter of the driven pulley 204, so the drive pulley 205 drives the driven pulley through the transmission belt 206. After 204 rotates, the speed of the driven pulley 204 should be less than that of the driving pulley 205, generally between 100 and 500 RPM. A fixed support 207 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 201 on the other side of the driving roller 203. The support roller 208 is rotatably installed on the fixed support 207. A top support cylinder 210 is fixedly installed on the main frame 1. The top support cylinder 210 is located below the table surface of the main frame 1, and the output end of the top support cylinder 210 passes through the table surface of the main frame 1 and is connected to the mounting plate 201. This can apply an upward thrust to the drive mechanism 2, which can ensure that the lead screw 5 and the drive roller 203 are closely fitted to ensure sufficient friction to drive the lead screw 5 to rotate.

[0029] The longitudinal movement assembly includes a support frame 301, on which a linear guide rail 302 and a longitudinal thrust cylinder 306 are fixedly mounted. A slide plate 303 is slidably mounted on the linear guide rail 302, and the slide plate 303 is connected to the output end of the longitudinal thrust cylinder 306.

[0030] The transverse assembly includes a guide rod 305 fixedly mounted on the slide plate 303 and a transverse thrust cylinder 304. A sliding frame 307 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 305, and the sliding frame 307 is connected to the output end of the transverse thrust cylinder 304.

[0031] The grinding assembly includes an adjusting rail 308 fixedly mounted on a sliding frame 307, a mounting frame 309 fixedly mounted on the adjusting rail 308, a grinding motor 312 and a grinding wheel 310 mounted on the mounting frame 309, and the grinding wheel 310 connected to the output end of the grinding motor 312.

[0032] The support assembly 4 includes a support rod 401, a bearing frame 402, and a support bearing 403. The support rod 401 is mounted on the support frame 301 on one side of the grinding assembly. The bearing frame 402 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod 401. Two support bearings 403 are rotatably mounted on the bearing frame 402.

[0033] The output end of the grinding motor 312 is connected to the grinding wheel 310 via the connecting shaft 311.

[0034] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the lead screw 5 to be ground is placed on the support bearing 403 of the bearing frame 402. Then, the position of the grinding mechanism 3 is adjusted. The longitudinal push cylinder 306 drives the slide 303 to move along the linear guide rail 302. When the slide 303 moves, the grinding wheel 310 also moves. When the grinding wheel 310 moves to the end of the lead screw 5, the transverse push cylinder 304 drives the sliding frame 307 to move along the guide rod 305, so that the grinding wheel 310 moves closer to the lead screw 5. The transverse push cylinder 304 stops outputting when the grinding wheel 310 is in contact with the lead screw 5. It should be noted that before the grinding wheel 310 contacts the lead screw 5, the height of the grinding wheel 310 can be adjusted by the adjusting rail 308 so that the center of the grinding wheel 310 is aligned with the center of the lead screw 5.

[0035] After grinding preparation is complete, the drive motor 209 is started. The start of the drive motor 209 drives the drive pulley 205 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belt 206 to rotate. The driven pulley 204 is connected to the drive pulley 205 via the transmission belt 206. Therefore, the rotation of the transmission belt 206 drives the driven pulley 204 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive roller 203 to rotate. This causes the top support cylinder 210 to extend, pushing the mounting plate 201 upwards, bringing the drive roller 203 and support roller 208 into contact with the lead screw 5. 203 will drive the lead screw 5 to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw 5 will also drive the support roller 208 to rotate. Then, the grinding motor 312 will start, and the speed of the grinding motor 312 is 2000~3000 RPM. After the grinding motor 312 starts, it will drive the grinding wheel 310 to rotate through the connecting shaft 311. The grinding wheel 310 will grind the lead screw 5. At the same time, the longitudinal push cylinder 306 will begin to slowly shorten, driving the slide 303 to move closer to the drive mechanism 2 along the linear guide rail 302. As the slide 303 moves continuously, the surface of the lead screw 5 can be ground.

[0036] To improve the polishing effect, the longitudinal push cylinder 306 will gradually and slowly extend after shortening to its limit position, pushing the slide 303 away from the drive mechanism 2. This reciprocating motion can repeatedly polish the surface of the lead screw 5 through the polishing wheel 310. When the polishing is completed, the longitudinal push cylinder 306 will extend, and at the same time the transverse push cylinder 304 will shorten, driving the slide 303 and the sliding frame 307 to move to a safe position, so that the polishing wheel 310 is separated from the lead screw 5.

[0037] During the grinding process, in order to prevent the grinding wheel 310 from getting stuck with the lead screw 5, the connecting shaft 311 can disconnect the grinding motor 312 from the grinding wheel 310, thus avoiding overload and burnout of the grinding motor 312.

[0038] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
