Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of brake disc processing technology, specifically to a universal tooling for a double-sided precision grinding machine for brake discs. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of double-sided precision grinding of brake discs, traditional tooling requires custom-made fixtures for different brake disc models. Due to differences in the inner diameter and mounting hole dimensions of the brake disc (typically within a tolerance range of ±15mm), tooling must be redesigned and manufactured for each new model, leading to the following problems:

[0003] High development costs: The design, processing, and debugging of specialized tooling have long cycles and high costs per set;

[0004] Poor adaptability: Existing tooling relies on fixed-size positioning pins and mounting holes, which cannot be flexibly adjusted and can only be adapted to a single model;

[0005] Inefficiency: Frequent tooling changes lead to increased downtime, especially in small-batch, multi-variety production.

[0006] While existing technologies attempt to improve versatility through modular design, they have failed to effectively resolve the contradiction between positioning accuracy and rapid adjustment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a universal tooling solution that combines high adaptability, low cost, and high precision. Utility Model Content

[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a universal tooling for a double-sided precision grinding machine for brake discs, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0009] (II) Technical Solution

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a universal tooling for a double-sided precision grinding machine for brake discs, comprising a main tooling and a replaceable module. The main tooling has a stepped groove on its surface, which is composed of two annular steps of different diameters. The radial surface of the main tooling has an oblong hole, in which a movable positioning pin is installed. The diameter of the positioning pin is smaller than the minimum mounting hole diameter of the brake disc to be processed. The replaceable module is fixed to the stepped groove of the main tooling via a threaded connector, and the inner diameter of the replaceable module matches the mounting hole size of the brake disc.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the replaceable module is customized according to the mounting hole of the brake disc, and the outer diameter matches the stepped groove. When the inner diameter of the brake disc falls into the corresponding step range, the step sidewall provides radial positioning. After being tightened by bolts, a rigid connection is formed to ensure that there is no loosening during processing and to avoid eccentricity.

[0012] Preferably, the total length of the waist-shaped hole is 23mm, the axial adjustment tolerance is ±0.1mm, and the positioning pin is fixed at any position in the waist-shaped hole by a locking nut.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the waist-shaped hole is formed by wire cutting, and its axis is aligned with the axis of the brake disc mounting hole, eliminating the positioning deviation caused by the difference in hole diameter.

[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the locating pin is 1-3 mm smaller than the minimum mounting hole diameter of the brake disc.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the positioning pin is smaller than the minimum mounting hole of the brake disc. Loosen the locking nut and slide the positioning pin along the waist-shaped hole to the target position.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the stepped groove is provided with a first threaded slot, and the end face of the replaceable module is provided with a corresponding mounting through hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting through hole and the first threaded slot hole are connected by an M8 bolt.

[0018] Preferably, the main tooling has four fixed through holes arranged in a circular array on its circumferential edge for fixing to the grinding machine table by T-bolts.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the four fixed through holes are distributed in a 90° circle.

[0020] Preferably, the replaceable module has a second threaded slot at its center for installing an auxiliary positioning pin or a counterweight.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second threaded slot is located at the center of the replaceable module. After the counterweight is installed in the second threaded slot, the centrifugal force generated by asymmetrical processing is balanced, the vibration of the grinding machine spindle is reduced, and the surface finish is improved.

[0022] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0024] 1. This universal tooling for double-sided precision grinding of brake discs features a stepped groove design on the main tooling surface, which is transformed into multi-level annular steps. Replaceable modules can be quickly installed via bolts, and their inner diameter precisely matches the mounting holes of the brake discs. Only the modules need to be replaced to adapt to different hole diameters and brake discs with different inner diameters. With the addition of waist-shaped holes and positioning pins, the positioning pins can be adjusted axially, and their axis is aligned with the axis of the brake disc mounting holes, eliminating positioning deviations caused by differences in hole diameters and significantly improving versatility.

[0025] 2. This brake disc double-sided precision grinding machine universal tooling, one main tooling can be adapted to multiple specifications of brake discs, which greatly reduces the number of special tooling, significantly shortens the tooling change time, supports rapid changeover production, and the fixed through hole is quickly locked to the grinding machine worktable by T-bolts, improving clamping efficiency.

[0032] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application provides a universal tooling for a double-sided precision grinding machine for brake discs, including a main tooling 1 and a replaceable module 2. The main tooling 1 has a stepped groove 11 on its surface, which consists of two levels of annular steps of different diameters. The main tooling 1 is made of 45# steel forging blank, and the stepped groove 11 is machined by a CNC lathe. The surface is hardened to a hardness of HRC50-55. The stepped groove 11 structure can adapt to brake discs of different inner diameters. A waist-shaped hole 12 is formed on the radial surface of the main tooling 1, and a movable positioning pin 3 is installed inside the waist-shaped hole 12. The diameter of the positioning pin 3 is smaller than the minimum mounting hole diameter of the brake disc to be processed. The design of the waist-shaped hole 12 allows the positioning pin 3 to be adjusted along the axial direction. The replaceable module 2 is fixed to the stepped groove 11 of the main fixture 1 through a threaded connector. The inner diameter of the replaceable module 2 matches the mounting hole size of the brake disc. The inner diameter of the replaceable module 2 is customized according to the mounting hole of the brake disc, and the outer diameter matches the stepped groove 11. When the inner diameter of the brake disc falls into the corresponding step range, the step sidewall provides radial positioning. After being tightened by bolts, a rigid connection is formed to ensure that there is no loosening during processing and to avoid eccentricity.

[0034] In one aspect of this embodiment, the total length of the oblong hole 12 is 23mm. The positioning pin 3 is fixed at any position of the oblong hole 12 by a locking nut. The oblong hole 12 is formed by wire cutting, and its axis is aligned with the axis of the brake disc mounting hole to eliminate positioning deviation caused by the difference in hole diameter.

[0035] In one aspect of this embodiment, the diameter of the locating pin 3 is 1-3 mm smaller than the minimum mounting hole diameter of the brake disc. The locating pin 3 is made of GCr15 bearing steel with nitriding treatment on the surface. Its diameter is smaller than the minimum mounting hole diameter of the brake disc. Loosen the locking nut and slide the locating pin 3 along the waist-shaped hole 12 to the target position. After locking, the radial runout is tested to be ≤0.05 mm.

[0036] In one aspect of this embodiment, the bottom of the stepped groove 11 is provided with a first threaded slot 13, and the end face of the replaceable module 2 is provided with a mounting through hole 21 at the corresponding position. The mounting through hole 21 and the first threaded slot 13 are connected by an M8 bolt with a torque set to 25 N·m.

[0037] In one aspect of this embodiment, the circumferential edge of the main tooling 1 is provided with four fixing through holes 14 arranged in a circular array for fixing to the grinding machine table by T-bolts. The four fixing through holes 14 with a diameter of 12mm are arranged in a 90° circular array.

[0038] In one aspect of this embodiment, the replaceable module 2 has a second threaded slot 22 at its center for installing an auxiliary positioning pin or a counterweight. The second threaded slot 22 is located at the center of the replaceable module 2. After the counterweight is installed in the second threaded slot 22, it balances the centrifugal force generated by asymmetric machining, reduces the vibration of the grinding machine spindle, and improves the surface finish.

[0039] Working principle: This brake disc double-sided precision grinding machine universal tooling is installed on the grinding machine worktable through the fixed through hole 14. Select the replaceable module 2 with an inner diameter of Φ50mm and match it with the Φ215mm step of the stepped groove 11. Fix it with M8 bolts. Adjust the positioning pin 3 to the front end of the waist-shaped hole 12. After locking, clamp the Φ210mm brake disc. After processing, replace the module with an inner diameter of Φ65mm and adjust the positioning pin 3 to the end of the waist-shaped hole 12 to fit the Φ225mm brake disc.
