Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing equipment technology, specifically to a new type of test bar processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional test bar machining requires rough turning, finish turning, and grinding processes to be completed separately on a lathe and a grinding machine. Multiple clamping operations can easily lead to coaxiality errors, and the equipment switching efficiency is low. Existing technologies suffer from the following problems: most existing composite machine tools use a single control system, with high coupling between turning and grinding parameters, making independent optimization difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to design a high-precision test bar machining device that integrates turning and grinding functions and has an independent control channel to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a novel processing equipment for test bars to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A novel test bar processing device includes a lathe body, a headstock, a tailstock, a transverse saddle, a longitudinal tool post, and a drive system, as well as a grinding wheel mechanism and a dual-channel independent control system.
[0006] The grinding wheel mechanism is equipped with a quick-change interface, and the grinding wheel mechanism can be detachably installed on the longitudinal tool holder through the quick-change interface.
[0007] The dual-channel independent control system also includes a turning control mechanism and a grinding control mechanism. The two are switched between working modes by setting an interlocking switch. The interlocking switch also includes a mechanical interlocking mechanism, an electrical interlocking mechanism, and a PLC controller.
[0008] The spindle box and tailstock are respectively equipped with a front center and a rear center, which together form a forced centering and positioning mechanism.
[0009] The above technical solution integrates turning, grinding and intelligent control into one unit. By incorporating a grinding wheel mechanism into a traditional lathe, one machine can complete two key processes: rough turning, semi-finishing and grinding. The independent control system with dual channels and interlocking switches enables individual control and improves work efficiency.
[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the grinding mechanism further includes a continuously variable speed motor, and the working part of the continuously variable speed motor is provided with a grinding wheel spindle, and the shaft end of the grinding wheel spindle is provided with an outer cylindrical grinding wheel.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the output power of the grinding wheel spindle is ≥1.5kW, the precision-grade outer cylindrical grinding wheel with a built-in circulating water cooling channel has a grit size of 80-120 mesh, the spindle is connected by a tapered fitting sleeve, and the distance between the outer cylindrical surface of the grinding wheel and the axis of the workpiece is adjustable from 0.1 to 5mm.
[0012] The further improvement of this utility model lies in the following: the turning control mechanism independently controls the spindle frequency conversion speed regulation and tool post servo feed, and the grinding control mechanism is used to independently control the grinding wheel spindle stepless speed regulation and radial micro-feed mechanism.
[0013] Using the above technical solution, the turning control mechanism achieves dynamic adjustment of rotational speed and precise positioning of tool path. The radial micro-feed mechanism has a repeatability of ≤0.005mm, ensuring high-precision material removal control during the grinding process.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a coolant injection system, the injection direction of which is adjustable and points to the contact area between the grinding wheel and the workpiece, and the coolant flow control valve is integrated into the grinding control circuit.
[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that the radial micro-feed mechanism includes a ball screw pair, a servo motor, and a linear guide rail, and is installed parallel to the workpiece axis.
[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is that the radial runout of the front and rear tips is ≤0.003mm, and the tip cone angle is 60°±0.5°.
[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that a laser diameter measuring instrument is added to the side of the tailstock, and its signal output terminal is connected to the grinding control circuit to form a closed-loop dimension control system.
[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0019] This utility model provides a new type of test bar processing equipment, which integrates turning, grinding and intelligent control into one unit. By building a grinding wheel mechanism on the basis of a traditional lathe, one machine can complete two key processes: rough turning, semi-finishing and grinding finishing. The dual-channel independent control system and interlocking switch enable individual control to improve work efficiency.
[0020] This utility model provides a novel processing equipment for test bars. When the test bar blank is loaded onto the lathe, it is held in place by a front center and a rear center. A dual-channel independent control system is activated to achieve two sets of control. The turning control mechanism first turns the test bar blank to form the basic shape of the test bar. Then, the control system switch of the turning mechanism is turned off, and the control system switch of the grinding control mechanism is turned on. The grinding mechanism uses a grinding wheel to process the bar rod. After processing, the bar rod is smooth and flat, and the front, middle and rear dimensions of the rod are consistent. When a tensile test is conducted, the fracture position of the test bar specimen is reasonable, and the experimental data is valid. Attached Figure Description
