AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the grinding equipment for floating sealing rings cannot automatically adjust the moving distance of the push rod, the position of the drive wheel is fixed, the push rod drive mechanism cannot achieve a smooth transition, and there is a lack of cam linkage, which leads to uneven clamping of the sealing ring and affects the grinding accuracy and performance.
An irregular cam drives the push rod to move synchronously and equidistantly. The drive wheel slides along the arc-shaped guide hole, and the roller at the end of the push rod makes flexible contact. Combined with the independent adjustment of the upper and lower grinding discs and the linkage of the cam, the sealing ring is uniformly clamped and moves synchronously.
This ensures that sealing rings of different diameters are clamped evenly, and the drive wheel adjusts adaptively to avoid surface damage, thereby improving grinding precision and performance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of surface grinding equipment, specifically to a floating sealing ring surface grinding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Floating seal rings are critical sealing components in the running systems of construction machinery (such as track rollers, carrier rollers, idler rollers, and tensioner rollers). They primarily prevent mud, moisture, and impurities from entering the bearing cavity, while also preventing lubricant leakage. The flatness, surface roughness, and sealing performance of their end faces directly affect the reliability and service life of construction machinery under harsh operating conditions. Currently, the grinding and processing of floating seal rings mainly relies on surface grinding equipment, but existing technologies face the following prominent problems in the mass production of sealing rings for construction machinery:
[0003] In the existing technology, the push rod mechanism of the grinding machine is mostly fixed stroke or manually adjustable, which cannot automatically adjust the moving distance of the push rod according to the diameter of the sealing ring, resulting in the inability to reliably clamp sealing rings of different specifications.
[0004] The fixed position of the drive wheel prevents it from adaptively adjusting within the arc-shaped guide hole as the diameter of the sealing ring changes, resulting in poor contact between the drive wheel and the sealing ring and affecting the stability of power transmission during the grinding process.
[0005] The existing equipment's push rod drive mechanism (such as lead screw or cylinder) cannot achieve a smooth transition under different extension distances, causing the sealing ring to stutter or shift during the tensioning process, affecting the grinding accuracy.
[0006] The lack of a cam linkage mechanism makes it difficult to ensure the synchronous movement of multiple push rods, which can easily lead to uneven force on the sealing ring.
[0007] Traditional clamps use single-point or mechanical clamping, which cannot ensure that the sealing ring is subjected to uniform circumferential force in the radial direction. This causes the sealing ring to deform locally during the grinding process, affecting the flatness of the end face and the sealing performance.
[0008] In response to the aforementioned problems, we propose a floating sealing ring surface grinding machine. Utility Model Content

[0021] (III) Beneficial Effects

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0034] See attached document Figures 1-7 ,
[0035] In this embodiment, a floating sealing ring 8 surface grinding machine includes a machine base 1, an upper grinding disc 11 and a lower grinding disc 12 symmetrically mounted on the machine base 1; the machine base 1 is also provided with a first motor 2 for individually driving the upper grinding disc 11 and the lower grinding disc 12 to rotate, and the upper grinding disc 11 and the lower grinding disc 12 are adjustable in height; the machine base 1 is provided with a rotary cylinder for driving the cam 5 to rotate at a set angle.
[0036] The lower grinding disc 12 is provided with a support plate 7 installed on the machine base 1 on one side. The edge of the support plate 7 is wrapped with a baffle 3 installed on the machine base 1. The bottom of the baffle 3 is provided with a guide pipe 4 for discharging grinding waste.
[0037] The support plate 7 has a notch located at the gap between the upper grinding disc 11 and the lower grinding disc 12. An irregular cam 5 is provided at the center of the support plate 7. The cam 5 is in clearance fit with the support plate 7. Three push rods 73 are arranged radially on the support plate 7 and abut against the periphery of the cam 5. The three push rods 73 move synchronously and equidistantly under the rotation of the cam 5. The push rods 73 are in sliding fit with the limiting block 72 installed on the support plate 7. The end of the push rod 73 is provided with a roller 731 for tensioning the sealing ring.
[0038] The support plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped guide hole 71, and a drive wheel 9 for driving the sealing ring to rotate circumferentially along the roller 731 is provided in the arc-shaped guide hole 71. A drive motor 6 is provided at one end of the drive wheel 9 that passes through the arc-shaped guide hole 71. The support plate 7 is also provided with a rocker arm 74 that supports the drive motor 6. One end of the rocker arm 74 is hinged to the support rod, and the other end of the rocker arm 74 is fixed to the drive motor 6 by screws. A limiting frame 75 is provided for adjusting and locking the position of the rocker arm 74. The rocker arm 74 passes through the limiting frame 75. The limiting frame 75 is provided with multiple threaded holes, and the position of the rocker arm 74 is locked by screws in the threaded holes.
[0039] Working principle: First, the sealing ring 8 workpiece to be processed is placed on the support plate 7. Then, the rotary cylinder is started, which drives the irregular cam 5 to rotate at a set angle. The periphery of the cam 5 pushes three radially arranged push rods 73 to move synchronously and equidistantly. The rollers 731 at the ends of the push rods 73 tension and position the sealing ring 8 workpiece. The limit block 72 ensures the linear motion accuracy of the push rods 73.
[0040] The drive motor 6 drives the drive wheel 9 to move along the arc-shaped guide hole 71 via the rocker arm 74. The drive wheel 9 drives the sealing ring 8 workpiece to rotate slowly around the roller 731. The upper grinding disc 11 applies downward pressure, and together with the rotating lower grinding disc 12, they complete the surface grinding. The rocker arm 74 is adjusted and fixed through the threaded hole on the limit frame 75, changing the movement trajectory of the drive wheel 9.
[0041] Then, the position of the upper grinding disc 11 is adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism, a suitable grinding gap is set, and the first motor 2 is started to drive the upper grinding disc 11 and the lower grinding disc 12 to rotate at the set speed (the directions can be the same or opposite).
[0042] During the grinding process, the different rotation speeds of the drive motor 6 can adjust the grinding time of the sealing ring 8 workpiece during the grinding process.
[0043] The waste generated during grinding is thrown towards the edge of the support plate 7 by the centrifugal force of rotation; the baffle 3 guides the waste to the bottom guide pipe 4; the waste is discharged out of the machine through the guide pipe 4;
[0044] The rotary cylinder resets, cam 5 returns to its initial position, push rod 73 retracts, releasing the clamping of the workpiece, and the machined sealing ring 8 workpiece is removed.
