Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding technology, and in particular to a dual-station grinding machine for steel cylinder welds. Background Technology
[0002] A steel cylinder is a metal container for storing liquids or gases. Currently, steel cylinders can be divided into welded steel cylinders and seamless steel cylinders due to different manufacturing processes. Generally, the manufacturing process and requirements for seamless steel cylinders are higher than those for welded steel cylinders. Therefore, seamless steel cylinders are more expensive than welded steel cylinders. Seamless steel cylinders are mainly used in some special fields (such as aerospace), while welded steel cylinders are more commonly used in various traditional fields. Currently, when manufacturing welded steel cylinders, steel plates are rolled into a cylindrical shape, and then longitudinal seams (also known as straight welds) are welded together. Then, the end caps are circumferentially welded to the cylinder body (also known as circumferential welds), thus forming a complete basic shape.
[0003] Nowadays, after the welded steel cylinders are formed, the weld seams need to be ground. Therefore, a grinding machine is needed to grind the steel cylinders. A dual-station grinding machine is one of the more common grinding equipment. It can grind two steel cylinders at the same time. In order to avoid the waste generated by grinding affecting the workshop environment, a dual-station grinding machine usually needs to be equipped with a dust collection device. However, when grinding the circumferential weld seam of the steel cylinder, the steel cylinder needs to be continuously rotated during the grinding process. Since the clamping structure of the dual-station grinding machine for grinding the circumferential weld seam needs to be driven by a motor assembly, the dust collection pipe on the body of the dual-station grinding machine needs to avoid the motor assembly. This results in many bends in the dust collection pipe. During dust collection, impurities are very easy to accumulate at the bends of the dust collection pipe. Over time, this can easily cause the dust collection pipe to become blocked, affecting the dust collection effect.
[0004] In conclusion, improvements to the vacuuming device are needed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-station grinding machine for steel cylinder welds, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is achieved as follows: a dual-station grinding machine for steel cylinder welds, comprising: a machine body;
[0007] The clamping assembly consists of a first clamping structure and a second clamping structure installed on the machine body and spaced apart. The first clamping structure and the second clamping structure can fix the two ends of the steel cylinder and control the rotation of the steel cylinder, respectively.
[0008] The polishing assembly comprises a first polishing structure and a second polishing structure mounted on the machine body, and also includes a dust collection assembly mounted on the machine body, the dust collection assembly comprising:
[0009] A dust-collecting structure is mounted on the body and located between the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure, and has a dust-collecting chamber;
[0010] The suction port consists of a first suction port and a second suction port spaced apart on the suction structure, with the first suction port and the second suction port facing the first grinding structure and the second grinding structure respectively.
[0011] The dust collection chamber is formed on the body and located below the suction chamber. The dust collection chamber has a dust discharge port that communicates with the suction chamber.
[0012] The air source structure is installed on the machine body and has an air extraction pipe that connects to the dust collection chamber;
[0013] A filter structure is installed inside the dust collection chamber and is used to filter the gas flowing from the dust outlet to the exhaust pipe.

[0089] In this embodiment, the driving structure includes:
[0090] The sector gear 80 is rotatably mounted on the machine body 10 via the transmission shaft 81 and can be controlled to rotate by the motor 82.

[0094] refer to Figures 1-8 The principle of this embodiment is:
[0095] During grinding, the dust door is opened and the cylinder is placed on the lower rotating plate. The upper rotating plate is lowered by the cylinder and the cylinder is held by the upper and lower rotating plates. When it is necessary to drive the cylinder to rotate, the pneumatic rotating plate motor can drive the lower rotating plate to rotate, thereby making the cylinder rotate.
[0096] As the gas cylinder rotates, the grinding motor controls the movement of the sanding belt, which grinds the outer wall of the cylinder. Simultaneously, a centrifugal fan is activated to remove the grinding debris. The dust extraction path is as follows:
[0097] Waste particles enter the dust collection chamber through the suction port and are discharged into the lower chamber of the dust collection chamber through the dust discharge port. After being filtered by the dust collector bag, the waste particles are collected in the lower chamber. Meanwhile, the airflow passes through the dust collector bag and enters the centrifugal fan through the exhaust pipe, and is then discharged to complete the dust extraction process.
[0098] During the dust extraction process, the motor controlling the sector gear is also driven. When the sector gear meshes with the drive rack, the control drive rod moves away from the piston body, creating a negative pressure in the pulse chamber and squeezing the return spring. The negative pressure in the pulse chamber draws gas into the pulse chamber through the intake check valve. When the sector gear separates from the drive rack, the return spring resets and controls the piston body to move closer to the exhaust check valve via the limit plate, discharging the gas in the pulse chamber through the exhaust check valve. The discharged gas corresponds to the dust discharge port, thus allowing impurities accumulated at the dust discharge port to enter and exit the dust collection chamber.
[0099] It is worth mentioning that, to ensure better dust blowing, the exhaust one-way valve can be directed towards the bottom inner wall of the dust outlet.
[0100] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
