Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machine tool processing, and specifically relates to a locking mechanism for grinding wheel exchange on a grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Grinding machines are machine tools that use abrasive wheels to grind the surface of workpieces. Most grinding machines use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding, while a few use other abrasive wheels and free abrasives such as honing machines, ultra-precision machining tools, belt grinders, lapping machines, and polishing machines.

[0003] When using a grinding machine, the grinding wheels need to be changed periodically. During the changing process, slippage can easily occur between the grinding wheel spindle and the rotating shaft, leading to inconvenience in changing the wheels and a reduction in work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a locking mechanism for grinding wheel exchange in grinding machines. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a locking mechanism for changing grinding wheels on a grinding machine, in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a locking mechanism for grinding wheel exchange in a grinding machine, including a housing and a spindle. A rotation center is provided in the middle of the housing, which is used to connect to a drive source. Clamps are movably installed on both sides of the housing. Each clamp consists of a claw cutter, a rotating shaft, and a buffer assembly. The spindle has internal threads machined on its inner side, and a grinding wheel is detachably installed on the outer side of the spindle. A backstop pin is movably installed inside the housing, and the backstop pin engages with the claw cutter.

[0007] Preferably, there are two claw blades, the tops of the two claw blades are hook-shaped, and the two claw blades are arranged symmetrically. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed inside the housing, the claw blades are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and a buffer assembly is fixedly installed between the tail ends of the two claw blades.

[0008] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a sleeve, which is hollow, and a piston is slidably installed inside the sleeve. There are two pistons, which are symmetrically arranged. A connecting block is fixedly installed at the other end of the piston, and a buffer spring is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting block. A claw blade is fixedly connected to the other end of the buffer spring.

[0009] Preferably, the sleeve has an air hole at its center, and the piston is disposed on both sides of the air hole.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the housing is provided with a mounting groove, and a positioning block is provided in the mounting groove, which is engaged with the grinding wheel.

[0011] Preferably, a return spring is provided on the outside of the anti-reverse pin, and the return spring is sleeved on the outside of the anti-reverse pin.

[0012] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0013] 1. This utility model discloses a locking mechanism for exchanging grinding wheels on a grinding machine. The grinding wheel rod is inserted along the spindle. When the tool arm is close to the end face of the spindle, it drives the anti-reverse pin to move backward and push out, thereby causing the anti-reverse pin to move away from between the two claw cutters. The two claw cutters open under the action of the buffer assembly, which facilitates the exchange of grinding wheels. When the grinding wheel shaft moves away from the end face of the spindle, the anti-reverse pin is reset under the action of the return spring, thereby causing the two claw cutters to close, thus achieving the purpose of gripping. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0014] 2. The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for grinding wheel exchange on a grinding machine. When the claw cutter is closed, the piston slides inside the sleeve and stretches the buffer spring. When the anti-reverse pin leaves the space between the claw cutters, the buffer spring resets. At this time, the piston compresses the gas inside the sleeve, thereby driving the buffer spring to reset slowly and uniformly, avoiding damage to the claw cutter caused by rapid reset, thus buffering the claw cutter and improving its service life.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a locking mechanism for exchanging grinding wheels 3 on a grinding machine, including a housing 1 and a spindle 5. A rotation center 2 is provided in the middle of the housing 1, which is used to connect to a drive source. Clamps 6 are movably installed on both sides of the housing 1. The clamps 6 are composed of claw cutters 7, a rotating shaft 9 and a buffer assembly 10. The inner side of the spindle 5 is machined with internal threads, and the grinding wheel 3 is detachably installed on the outer side of the spindle 5. A backstop pin 4 is movably installed inside the housing 1, and the backstop pin 4 is engaged with the claw cutter 7.

[0023] Furthermore, there are two claw blades 7, the tops of the two claw blades 7 are hook-shaped, and the two claw blades 7 are arranged symmetrically. A rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. The claw blades 7 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 9. A buffer assembly 10 is fixedly installed between the tail ends of the two claw blades 7.

[0024] Furthermore, the buffer assembly 10 includes a sleeve 12, which is hollow. A piston 14 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 12. There are two pistons 14, which are symmetrically arranged. A connecting block 15 is fixedly installed at the other end of the piston 14. A buffer spring 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting block 15. A claw blade 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the buffer spring 16.

[0025] Furthermore, an air hole 13 is provided at the center of the sleeve 12, and the piston 14 is located on both sides of the air hole 13.

[0026] Furthermore, an installation groove is provided on the outer side of the housing 1, and a positioning block 8 is provided in the installation groove, which is engaged with the grinding wheel 3.

[0027] Furthermore, a return spring 11 is provided on the outside of the anti-reverse pin 4, and the return spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of the anti-reverse pin 4.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] The grinding wheel 3 is inserted along the spindle 5. When the cutter arm is close to the end face of the spindle 5, it drives the anti-reverse pin 4 to move backward and push out, thereby causing the anti-reverse pin 4 to leave the space between the two claw cutters 7. The two claw cutters 7 open under the action of the buffer assembly 10, which facilitates the exchange of the grinding wheel 3. When the grinding wheel 3 shaft leaves the end face of the spindle 5, the anti-reverse pin 4 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring 11, thereby causing the two claw cutters 7 to close, thus achieving the purpose of gripping. The operation is simple and convenient. When the claw cutters 7 are closed, the piston 14 slides in the sleeve 12 and stretches the buffer spring 16. When the anti-reverse pin 4 leaves the space between the claw cutters 7, the buffer spring 16 returns to its original position. At this time, the piston 14 compresses the gas in the sleeve 12, thereby causing the buffer spring 16 to slowly and uniformly return to its original position, avoiding damage to the claw cutters 7 caused by rapid return, and buffering the claw cutters 7 to improve their service life.
