Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spherical surface processing technology, and more specifically, to a processing device for the spherical surface of a spherical bearing. Background Technology
[0002] The difference between spherical radial bearings and ordinary radial bearings is that spherical bearings can withstand larger radial loads, have a tight fit with the bearing housing, and have very small clearances, providing extremely high support stability and making equipment operation more efficient. They are widely used in various high-precision, high-speed mechanical equipment, instruments, etc. However, the machining of spherical surfaces is more difficult than that of ordinary bearings. If a high-precision CNC grinding machine is purchased, its price ranges from several million to tens of millions of yuan, which is too expensive. Therefore, a spherical surface machining tool is required.
[0003] However, with current spherical machining tools, it is difficult to measure the roundness of the sphere, whether it is eccentric, and to determine the center of the grinding wheel after grinding. Moreover, high-temperature debris splashes during grinding, which can easily cause danger. Utility Model Content

One or two dial indicators 13 are mounted on the holder 18, with the dial indicator heads 15 facing away from the cup-shaped grinding wheel 6. A sliding sleeve 14 is slidably connected to the holder 18. The sliding sleeve 14 is positioned at the holder 18 by screws and holds the dial indicator 13, facilitating the measurement of roundness at multiple locations.
[0027] In the operation of this utility model embodiment, the cup-shaped grinding wheel 6 is driven by the variable speed motor 4 to perform cutting.
[0028] Furthermore, by installing the calibration structure, the variable speed motor 4 slowly drives the cup-shaped grinding wheel 6 to rotate, and the dial indicator 15 in the calibration structure abuts against the spherical surface 16 of the bearing to be machined. By observing the change in the reading, the roundness and whether it is aligned are determined.
[0029] Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the sliding sleeve 14, the position of the dial indicator 13 can be adjusted, making it easier to determine whether there is eccentricity through readings and improving the accuracy of roundness measurement.

The screw head of the limiting bolt 10 abuts against one side of the bottom upright plate 201. The friction is increased by the abutting between the screw head of the limiting bolt 10 and the bottom upright plate 201, thereby improving the stability of the connection.
[0033] During the operation of this utility model embodiment, after loosening the limiting bolt 10, the distance between the motor support plate 2 and the grinding wheel support 11 is adjusted by the transverse set screw 12. After determining the distance, the limiting bolt 10 is tightened, and the screw head of the limiting bolt 10 abuts and rubs against the bottom upright plate 201 to reinforce it.
