Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machine tool processing, and more specifically relates to a vertical composite grinding machine tool with an automatic normal dressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the dressing of grinding wheel arcs is generally carried out using grinding wheel dressing devices equipped with forming rollers. However, this method has the following limitations: 1. The accuracy of the forming roller will determine the accuracy of the grinding wheel arc or the tooth profile of the workpiece. The profile accuracy of the dressing wheel will not be higher than that of the forming roller; 2. The cost of customizing forming rollers is high; 3. Forming rollers are only suitable for fixed profiles. Modifying the groove shape requires replacing the roller, resulting in low flexibility; 4. Forming dressing involves surface contact, resulting in large dressing forces, which can easily lead to excessive wear of the grinding wheel bond or abrasive grain shedding, potentially reducing the grinding wheel life by 20% to 30%.

This composite machining grinding machine is specially designed for grinding needle tooth shells. The machine tool adopts a vertical gantry structure. The workpiece spindle 2 is vertically installed to keep the workpiece upright and places the workpiece spindle 2 on the moving linear axis. Since the structure of this machine tool has good rigidity, the vertically clamped workpiece only requires sufficient clamping force to resist the cutting force, and gravity is beneficial to the machining process rather than hindering the machining, thus more effectively ensuring the machining accuracy of the parts.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dressing assembly 3 includes an automatic normal dressing device and an inner and outer cylindrical grinding dressing device 32 disposed on the X-axis slide plate 11.

The base 314 can be adjusted back and forth along the radius of the rotation circle. The bearing seats 315 at both ends of the base 314 can be adjusted back and forth along the tangent of the rotation circle while ensuring the concentricity of the two bearing seats 315. The bearing seats 315 at both ends support the connecting shaft 316. The first dressing wheel 317 is installed in the middle of the connecting shaft 316. The structure supported by both ends has good rigidity and can leave sufficient dressing space.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first dressing wheel 317 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 316. The first dressing wheel 317 is disposed in the middle of the connecting shaft 316, thereby improving the rigidity through the structure supported at both ends.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, the relative position of the first dressing wheel 317 and the grinding wheel during dressing can be referred to the attached figure. Figure 7 To be continued Figure 9 During the process of dressing the grinding wheel arc, the rotating device 311 will... Figure 7 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9 Or attached Figure 9 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 7 The sequence of directions is rotated to achieve normal adjustment.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the grinding part 4 is disposed on the Y-axis slide plate 71. The grinding part 4 includes a Z-axis slide plate 43, a W-axis slide plate, a tooth surface grinding assembly 41 that can reciprocate along the Z-axis direction and the W-axis direction respectively, an inner and outer cylindrical grinding assembly 42, a Z-axis transmission mechanism and a W-axis transmission mechanism respectively used to drive the Z-axis slide plate 43 and the W-axis slide plate to reciprocate.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, refer to the appendix. Figure 1 When there is no rotating device on the Z-axis slide plate to drive the tooth surface grinding assembly 41 to rotate around the A-axis, straight tooth workpieces are processed. When there is a rotating device on the Z-axis slide plate 43, both straight tooth workpieces and helical tooth workpieces can be processed.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, the Z-axis transmission mechanism includes a Z-axis slide rail arranged parallel to the Z-axis direction and a third motor connected to the Z-axis slide plate 43.

[0042] This vertical composite grinding machine can grind the inner hole (outer circle), end face, and internal teeth of a part in a single setup, ensuring high precision. Compared to traditional forming roller dressing, this vertical composite grinding machine, through its CNC system and precision mechanical structure, can not only adjust the dressing angle of the grinding wheel to meet various tilt angle requirements during grinding wheel dressing, but also perform dressing while rotating the angle through CNC interpolation, thereby achieving higher dressing accuracy.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown, the internal and external cylindrical grinding components 42 and the internal and external cylindrical grinding dresser 32 of the machine tool can be configured and replaced according to the processing object and processing requirements. The automatic normal dressing device can achieve adjustable dressing angle through the rotating device 311 and the dresser body 312 to adapt to different workpiece tilt angle requirements. In addition, the automatic normal dressing device can quickly switch the processing contour through the CNC program. In contrast, the previous forming rollers required manual replacement. The automatic normal dressing device can accurately dress and avoid excessive wear of the grinding wheel in some areas, extending its life by 20% to 30%. The automatic normal dressing device can reduce stress concentration at the edge of the grinding wheel through progressive feed and reduce edge chipping. The dressing process of the automatic normal dressing device is point contact, which can reduce heat generation and thus reduce the impact of temperature drift.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
