[0002] A surface grinder is a precision grinding machine used to process flat surfaces. It is widely used in various fields of industrial production, such as precision grinding in the manufacturing of molds, measuring tools, bearings, automobiles, ships, and aircraft.
[0003] The transverse feed mechanism of the grinding head is one of the key components, and it is an important component that affects the processing efficiency and processing quality. It plays a very important role in achieving precision grinding, high-precision dimensional machining, and online error compensation.
[0004] Excessive transverse feed will result in excessive surface roughness during grinding, while insufficient feed will affect processing efficiency. It also features automatic switching between rough grinding, fine grinding, and no-feed grinding cycles.
[0005] Therefore, a reasonable transverse feed mechanism is crucial, as it has a significant impact on machining quality and efficiency. It is particularly suitable for grinding high-precision, high-surface-finish parts or tools and has high grinding efficiency. Utility Model Content

The rear part of the ball screw is installed in the gearbox. A large gear II that meshes with the small gear I is installed on the rear part of the ball screw. The nut is installed on the grinding head body.
[0012] 5. Pull the push-pull lever forward to the manual position, and the small gear II meshes with the large gear I (the lever stops the hydraulic motor) to achieve manual feed; push the push-pull lever backward to the automatic position, and the small gear II disengages from the large gear I (the lever starts the hydraulic motor) to achieve hydraulically driven automatic feed.
[0013] Furthermore, the gear shaft is provided with two annular slots, one in the front and one in the rear.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0026] This utility model relates to a hydraulically driven ball screw feed device for a surface grinder, comprising a manual feed mechanism 3 located at the front end of a slide 1 and an automatic feed mechanism 4 located at the rear end. The manual feed mechanism 3 and the automatic feed mechanism 4 are connected by a transmission rod 7. The slide 1 has two guide rail pairs (forward and backward) on the left and right sides, and a grinding head body 2 is slidably mounted on the left and right guide rail pairs. The grinding head body 2 is connected to the automatic feed mechanism 4 via a ball screw transmission pair 6. Figure 1 As shown.
[0027] The manual feed mechanism 3 includes a handwheel 31 (with a dial), a push-pull rod 32, and a bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes an inner bearing sleeve 33 and an outer bearing sleeve housed within a bearing hole in the base. Front and rear rolling bearings are provided between the inner bearing sleeve 33 and the outer bearing sleeve. The handwheel 31 is coaxially mounted on the rear end face of the inner bearing sleeve 33. The push-pull rod 32 passes through the inner bearing sleeve 33 and the handwheel 31, and is slidably mounted within the inner bearing sleeve 33. A key 34 and a keyway are provided between the push-pull rod 32 and the inner bearing sleeve 33 for sliding engagement. A handle is installed at the front end of the push-pull rod 32. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.
[0028] The automatic feeding mechanism 4 includes a drive shaft 42 mounted in a gearbox 41 via front and rear rolling bearings. A small gear I 44 and a large gear I 43 are coaxially mounted on the front of the drive shaft 42. A hydraulic motor 5 is mounted on the rear end face of the gearbox 41 corresponding to the drive shaft 42, and the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 5 is coaxially connected to the rear end of the drive shaft 42. Parallel to the drive shaft 42 and on one side of the drive shaft 42, a gear shaft 45 is provided in the gearbox 41, which can slide forward and backward. A small gear II 46, which can mesh and disengage with the large gear I 43, is coaxially mounted on the gear shaft 45. A lever 8, extending beyond the rear end face of the gearbox 41, is coaxially mounted on the rear end of the gear shaft 45. The position of the lever 8 corresponds to the switch of the hydraulic motor 5. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.
[0029] The gear shaft 45 is positioned directly opposite the push-pull rod 32. The transmission rod 7 is located between the gear shaft 45 and the push-pull rod 32. The front end of the gear shaft 45 (extending beyond the front end face of the gearbox 41) is connected to the rear end of the transmission rod 7 via a coupling sleeve 10. The blind hole at the front end of the transmission rod 7 is coaxially sleeved with the rear end of the push-pull rod 32 and connected by a radially through-hole pin. Figure 2 As shown.
[0030] The ball screw drive pair 6 is parallel to the drive shaft 42 and located on the other side of the drive shaft 42. A nut 62 is screwed onto the ball screw 61 of the ball screw drive pair 6. The rear part of the ball screw 61 is mounted in the gearbox 41 through front and rear rolling bearings. A large gear II 47 that meshes with the pinion I 44 is coaxially mounted on the rear part of the ball screw 61. The nut 62 is mounted on the grinding head body 2. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown.
[0031] The operation mode of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] 1. When manual feeding is required (such as for workpiece tool setting), pull the push-pull rod 32 forward using the handle. The push-pull rod 32 pulls the gear shaft 45 forward to the manual position via the transmission rod 7. In the manual position, the small gear II 46 on the gear shaft 45 meshes with the large gear I 43. At this time, the lever 8 disengages from the switch of the oil motor 5 and stops the oil motor 5. Turning the handwheel 31 drives the small gear II 46 on the gear shaft 45 to rotate, which drives the ball screw 61 to rotate through the secondary gear transmission. The nut 62 moves forward and backward on the ball screw 61, which drives the grinding head body 2 to perform forward and backward lateral manual feeding along the left and right guide rail pairs.
[0033] 2. When automatic feed is required (such as during grinding), push the push-pull rod 32 backward by pulling the handle. The push-pull rod 32 pushes the gear shaft 45 backward to the automatic position through the transmission rod 7. In the automatic position, the small gear II 46 on the gear shaft 45 disengages from the large gear I 43. At this time, the lever 8 triggers the switch of the oil motor 5 and starts the oil motor 5. The oil motor 5 runs, thereby driving the small gear I 44 on the drive shaft 42 to rotate. Through the first-stage gear transmission, it drives the ball screw 61 to rotate. The nut 62 moves forward and backward on the ball screw 61, thereby driving the grinding head body 2 to perform forward and backward lateral automatic feed along the left and right guide rail pairs.
[0034] The gear shaft 45 has two annular slots, one at the front and one at the rear. The top of the gearbox 41 has retaining beads 9 that engage with the annular slots when the gears spring back downwards. The positions of the two annular slots correspond to the manual and automatic positions of the push-pull rod 32, respectively. Figure 2 As shown.
