Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve ball production technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency valve ball polishing machine. Background Technology

[0002] After the valve ball is manufactured, its outer surface needs to be polished to increase its sealing performance and reduce the operating torque.

[0003] However, as shown in the ball valve ball outer cylindrical surface grinding device disclosed in application number 202320177896.5, the current grinding device generally only sets a single polishing part to polish the valve ball, which limits the polishing efficiency and affects the production speed. In addition, the valve ball is locked by a double-head clamping method in the above device. During the clamping process, the operator needs to hold the valve ball by hand, which poses a certain risk of being pinched. Therefore, the above defects need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a high-efficiency valve ball polishing machine includes a processing table 11, on which a clamping assembly and a polishing assembly are provided. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the valve ball, and the polishing assembly is used to polish the clamped and stabilized valve ball.

[0032] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a hollow shaft 21 rotatably connected to the processing table 11, two sliders 22 extending out of the hollow shaft 21 are slidably connected inside the hollow shaft 21, and an inner support plate 23 acting on a valve ball is installed at the end of the slider 22 away from the hollow shaft 21. It also includes a clamping mechanism for controlling the inner and outer positions of the sliders 22. The processing table 11 is provided with a drive cavity 12, the hollow shaft 21 extends downward into the drive cavity 12, and a first motor 24 for driving the hollow shaft 21 to rotate is installed in the drive cavity 12.

[0033] The scheme in which the first motor 24 drives the hollow shaft 21 to rotate is that a first gear is installed on the output shaft inside the first motor 24, and a second gear meshing with the first gear is installed on the curved surface of the hollow shaft 21.

[0034] The clamping mechanism includes an insert plate 25 installed inside the hollow shaft 21 and limited by the bracket to slide only up and down. The upper side of the insert plate 25 and its left and right sides are chamfered to form a first inclined surface. The two sliders 22 are distributed left and right, and the sides of the two sliders 22 that are close to each other and their lower sides are chamfered to form a second inclined surface that can be attached to the first inclined surface.

[0035] The lower end of the insert plate 25 is integrally formed with a cylinder, and an external support cylinder 26 is fixedly installed in the drive cavity 12. The upper end of the first piston rod in the external support cylinder 26 is equipped with a seat 27, and the cylinder at the lower end of the insert plate 25 is rotatably connected to the seat 27.

[0036] With the above settings, the external support cylinder 26 can drive the insert plate 25 to move up and down without being affected by the rotation of the hollow shaft 21.

[0037] In addition, a spring is connected between the two insert plates 25, and the spring is distributed on the front and rear sides of the insert plate 25 so that the two sliders 22 can move closer to each other and reset after the insert plate 25 sinks.

[0038] Specific clamping procedure:

[0039] First, the operator inserts the valve ball through the hollow shaft 21 and onto the outside of the hollow shaft 21. Then, the outer support cylinder 26 controls the seat 27 and the insert plate 25 to rise. During this process, the insert plate 25 pushes the slider 22 and the inner support plate 23 outward until the inner support plate 23 is pressed against the inner wall of the valve ball. At this point, the valve ball is clamped. Then, the first motor 24 is energized and drives the hollow shaft 21 to rotate through the first gear and the second gear. This causes the insert plate 25, the slider 22, the inner support plate 23, and the valve ball fixed to it to rotate, so as to facilitate subsequent polishing.

[0040] The polishing assembly includes two slide blocks 41 distributed on the left and right sides of the hollow shaft 21. A polishing disc 42 is rotatably connected to the slide block 41, and a second motor for driving the polishing disc 42 to rotate is provided inside the slide block 41. A grinding cylinder 43 is provided on the processing table 11 to drive the slide block 41 to move laterally. An annular groove adapted to the outer curved surface of the polishing disc 42 is provided in the outer curved surface of the valve ball.

[0041] Specific polishing process:

[0042] After the valve ball is clamped, the grinding cylinder 43 controls the slide block 41 to move closer to each other until the valve ball is attached to the polishing disc 42. At this time, the polishing disc 42 rotates under the drive of the second motor and grinds the valve ball.

[0043] It should be noted that during the polishing process, the valve ball will enter the annular groove to further maintain stability.

[0044] In a second embodiment of the high-efficiency valve ball polishing machine, a material ejection assembly is further included. The material ejection assembly includes a disc 51 sleeved outside the hollow shaft 21, and a control mechanism for controlling the up and down position and angle of the disc 51.

[0045] The upper side of the processing table 11 is also provided with a discharge channel 52 that slopes downwards and backwards.

[0046] The control mechanism includes a front cylinder 61 and a rear cylinder 62 installed in the drive cavity 12. The front cylinder 61 and the rear cylinder 62 are located on the front and rear sides of the hollow shaft 21, respectively. The second piston rod in the front cylinder 61 is connected upward to a first push-pull rod 71, and the first push-pull rod 71 is hinged to the lower side of the disc body 51. The third piston rod in the rear cylinder 62 is connected to the second push-pull rod 72, and the second push-pull rod 72 pushes upward against the lower side of the disc body 51.

[0047] After polishing is completed and the insert plate 25 descends, the front cylinder 61 and the rear cylinder 62 respectively control the first push-pull rod 71 and the second push-pull rod 72 to rise, and lift the valve ball through the disc body 51. When the valve ball is on the upper side of the hollow shaft 21, the first push-pull rod 71 can continue to rise, while the second push-pull rod 72 remains stationary, so that the disc body 51 is in an inclined state, thereby causing the valve ball located on the disc body 51 to roll backward and enter the discharge channel 52.

[0048] Furthermore, during the above-mentioned material discharge process, if the valve ball gets stuck in the disc 51, the first push-pull rod 71 can accelerate the speed of the valve ball to fly out and avoid abnormal material discharge. In addition, a rubber layer can be added to the bottom surface of the discharge channel 52 to prevent damage to the valve ball.

[0049] The valve ball can also be prevented from getting stuck by limiting the size of the valve ball to be polished. In this embodiment, the inner curved surface of the disc 51 is chamfered with respect to the upper side surface.

[0050] In addition, the upper end face of the second push-pull rod 72 is equipped with a roller to avoid excessive friction between the upper end of the second push-pull rod 72 and the lower side of the disc body 51 when only the second push-pull rod 72 is raised.

[0051] During the valve ball clamping process, the valve ball can be placed on the disc 51 for automatic clamping. After clamping is completed, the disc 51 is moved down to avoid interfering with the polishing work, thereby increasing the functionality of the disc 51.

[0052] Specifically, the drive cavity 12 is equipped with a mounting plate, and the front cylinder 61, the rear cylinder 62, the first motor 24 and the external support cylinder 26 are all fixed on the mounting plate. The front cylinder 61 and the rear cylinder 62 are located on the front and rear sides of the external support cylinder 26, and are indirectly connected to the first push-pull rod 71 and the second push-pull rod 72 through a connecting plate.

[0053] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
