Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a vibration-damping fixing device for grinding the outer diameter of a lead screw. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component in mechanical transmission, the precision of the outer cylindrical surface of the lead screw affects the transmission efficiency and the stability of equipment operation. During the grinding process, the inherent structural characteristics of the lead screw cause ripples and vibration defects on the grinding surface, which seriously affect the processing quality. Therefore, anti-vibration fixing devices for lead screw outer cylindrical grinding have emerged to provide stable support for the lead screw and reduce vibration interference during the grinding process.
[0003] The function of the anti-vibration fixing device in traditional lead screw external cylindrical grinding is to provide stable and reliable clamping and positioning of the lead screw during the grinding process, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the machining process at the source. In terms of effect, it improves machining accuracy, increases production efficiency, reduces workpiece scrap rate, and improves the overall production economy and product quality consistency. Traditional processes rely on two-end centers plus a single chuck for positioning, and only fix the workpiece by force at both ends, while the middle section is completely suspended. For lead screws with a large length-to-diameter ratio, the middle section is subjected to radial grinding force during grinding, resulting in bow-shaped bending, causing high-frequency chatter, and periodic vibration marks on the outer cylindrical surface, making it difficult to control the cylindricity accuracy.
[0004] To address this traditional problem, a manual follow post is installed in the middle of the workpiece, moving synchronously with the grinding position to improve the rigidity of the multi-point supported workpiece and further reduce bending chatter. However, the gap between the tool post support block and the workpiece is not adjusted synchronously as the workpiece diameter decreases. Although the workpiece diameter is large and the gap is appropriate at the beginning, the diameter becomes smaller and the gap increases after grinding for a period of time, causing the support block and the workpiece to rub against each other periodically, which ultimately leads to a significant decrease in workpiece stability. Therefore, an anti-vibration fixing device for ball screw external cylindrical grinding is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a vibration-damping fixing device for lead screw external cylindrical grinding, including a machine tool 1 and a lead screw 4 to be ground. A stabilizing mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the machine tool 1 to stabilize the lead screw 4 to be ground. A base plate 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the machine tool 1. A cooling mechanism 6 is provided on the top of the base plate 5 to cool the lead screw 4 to be ground during processing. A mounting base 2 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the machine tool 1. A driving mechanism 7 is provided on the left side of the mounting base 2.
[0034] The stabilizing mechanism 3 includes a support rod 301, which supports the stabilizing mechanism 3. The bottom of the support rod 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine tool 1. The top of the support rod 301 is fixedly connected to a support ring 302, which controls the range of motion of the thread rod 4 to be ground. Multiple screws 303 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support ring 302. Multiple screws 303 fix multiple thread rods 4 to be ground at multiple angles. Pressure blocks 304 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of each of the 303. Pressure blocks 304 control the thread rod 4 to be ground to remain stationary and distribute force evenly. Multiple balls 305 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple pressure blocks 304. A tube 306 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 2, allowing the tube 306 to rotate. A rotating component 307 is provided inside the mounting base 2 to reduce the friction generated when the tube 306 rotates. A fixing component 308 is provided on the right side of the tube 306. An auxiliary support component 309 is provided on the top right side of the machine tool 1.
[0035] The fixing component 308 includes a claw-shaped shell 3081. The left side of the claw-shaped shell 3081 is connected to the insert 306. The claw-shaped shell 3081 can rotate with the rotation of the insert 306. A shrink ring 3082 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the claw-shaped shell 3081. The rotation of the shrink ring 3082 controls the shrinkage of the claw-shaped shell 3081, thereby securing the wire rod 4 to be ground.
[0036] Specifically, the stabilizing mechanism 3 stabilizes the lead screw 4 to be ground. The multiple screws 303 in the stabilizing mechanism 3 rotate according to the thickness of the lead screw 4 to be ground, adjusting the distance between the pressure blocks 304. The internal pressure blocks 304 ensure a uniform contact area and even force distribution. The ball bearings 305 can rotate within the pressure blocks 304 when the lead screw 4 to be ground rotates, keeping the lead screw 4 stable and free from vibration interference while reducing the resistance experienced by the lead screw 4 to be ground. On the other side of the lead screw 4, the fixing component 308 and the claw-shaped shell 3081 select the rotation range according to the thickness of the lead screw 4 to be ground.
[0037] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5The cooling mechanism 6 includes a water tank 601, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 5. The water tank 601 is used to hold coolant. A mounting plate 602 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the water tank 601. A water pump 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 602 to enable the coolant to be recycled. A bracket 604 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 5. A nozzle 605 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bracket 604. The nozzle 605 sprays coolant directly onto the screw 4 to be ground, reducing the high temperature generated by the screw 4 during grinding. A water receiving tank 606 is slidably connected to the top of the machine tool 1. The water receiving tank 606 receives the coolant sprayed from the nozzle 605. Two water pipes 607 are connected to the outer wall of the water tank 601 to provide a path for the coolant to return to the water tank 601. A filter assembly 608 is provided inside the water receiving tank 606 to filter out debris carried away by the coolant.
[0038] The filter assembly 608 includes a retaining ring 6081, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water receiving tank 606. The retaining ring 6081 provides an installation position for the filter box 6082. The filter box 6082 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water receiving tank 606 to filter out impurities carried away by the coolant when the machine tool 1 is working. A sealing ring 6083 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter box 6082 to fill the gap between the filter box 6082 and the water receiving tank 606 and prevent impurities from entering the bottom of the water receiving tank 606 and being recycled.
[0039] Specifically, the cooling mechanism 6 reduces the large amount of heat generated by the working screw 4. The cooling water in the water storage tank 601 is sprayed out from the nozzle 605 through the water pipe 607, reducing the heat generated by the working screw 4. The cooling water falls into the receiving tank 606, and the impurities carried in between are screened out by the filter box 6082. The receiving tank 606 is connected to the water storage tank 601 by the water pipe 607, and the water is pumped back to the water storage tank 601 by the water pump 603, realizing the recycling of the coolant.
[0040] See attached document Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3The drive mechanism 7 includes a damping pad 701. The bottom of the damping pad 701 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the machine tool 1 to reduce the vibration impact of the servo motor 702 during operation. The top of the damping pad 701 is fixedly connected to the servo motor 702 to drive the screw 4 to be ground to rotate. The rotating assembly 307 includes an outer ring 3071. The outer wall of the outer ring 3071 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 2. The inner wall of the outer ring 3071 is slidably connected to a roller 3072. During the rotation of the insert 306, the roller 3072 reduces the friction of the insert 306. The auxiliary support assembly 309 includes a support base 3091. The bottom of the support base 3091 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the machine tool 1. The inner wall of the support base 3091 is rotatably connected to a tip 3092. The tip 3092 axially fixes the screw 4 to be ground to stabilize it. The top of the machine tool 1 is fixedly connected to a tool holder 8. The rear side of the tool holder 8 is fixedly connected to a milling cutter 9 for grinding the screw 4 to be ground.
[0041] Specifically, in the drive mechanism 7 at the top of the machine tool 1, the damping pad 701 reduces the working vibration of the servo motor 702. The servo motor 702 drives the insert 306 and the fixed component 308 connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw 4 to be ground to rotate. The rotating component 307 on the inner wall of the mounting base 2 reduces the rotational friction of the insert 306 through the roller 3072 in the outer ring 3071. The tip 3092 on the support base 3091 axially fixes the lead screw 4 to be ground to ensure its stability. At the same time, the tool post 8 on the machine tool 1 drives the milling cutter 9 to perform external cylindrical grinding on the rotating lead screw 4.
[0042] Working principle: After the machine tool 1 is started, the stabilizing mechanism 3 provides vibration damping and fixation for the screw 4 to be ground, ensuring stability during the grinding process. The bottom of the support rod 301 of the stabilizing mechanism 3 is fixed to the top of the machine tool 1, providing support for the overall structure. The support ring 302 at the top of the support rod 301 is fitted onto the outside of the screw 4 to be ground, limiting its radial range of motion. Multiple screws 303 on the inner wall of the support ring 302 adjust their insertion length through threads. The pressure block 304 on the adjacent side moves with the screw 303 to fit against the outer wall of the screw 4 to be ground, applying clamping force at multiple angles. The balls 305 on the inner wall of the pressure block 304 contact the screw 4 to be ground, ensuring both a fixed effect and reducing the amount of grinding waste. The frictional force when the lead screw 4 rotates is provided by the drive mechanism 7 on the left side of the mounting base 2, which drives the insert 306 and the lead screw 4 to be ground to rotate. The rotating component 307 inside the mounting base 2 reduces the rotational resistance of the insert 306 and ensures smooth rotation. In the fixing component 308 on the right side of the insert 306, the claw-shaped shell 3081 is connected to the insert 306. The rotating shrinking ring 3082 moves along the thread on the outer wall of the claw-shaped shell 3081, forcing the claw-shaped shell 3081 to shrink and further tighten the lead screw 4 to be ground. The auxiliary support component 309 on the top right side of the machine tool 1 supports the lead screw 4 to be ground from the other end, and works with the stabilizing mechanism 3 to achieve positioning at both ends.
[0043] Furthermore, the bottom of the water storage tank 601 is fixed to the top of the base plate 5, and it stores coolant. The mounting plate 602 is fixed to the rear side of the water storage tank 601. The water pump 603 on top of the mounting plate draws the coolant from the water storage tank 601 and delivers it through pipelines to the nozzle 605 on the front side of the bracket 604. The nozzle 605 sprays the coolant directly onto the grinding part of the screw 4 to be ground, quickly reducing the high temperature generated by grinding. The water receiving tank 606, which is slidably connected to the top of the machine tool 1, receives the sprayed coolant to prevent it from flowing freely. The filter assembly 608 inside 606 plays a role: the retaining ring 6081 is fixed to the inner wall of the water receiving tank 606, supporting the filter box 6082. The filter box 6082 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water receiving tank 606, filtering out debris carried in the coolant. The sealing ring 6083 on the outer wall fills the gaps to prevent impurities from entering the bottom of the water receiving tank 606. The filtered coolant flows back to the water storage tank 601 through two water pipes 607 connected to the outer wall of the water storage tank 601, realizing the recycling of coolant and ensuring the stable operation of the grinding process.
