[0015] The top of the automatic grinding wheel changing device 1 is fixedly connected to a protective cover 9. A reset button light 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 9 and to one side of the grinding wheel frame 11. A limit switch 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 10 and to one side of the grinding wheel frame 11.
[0016] A waste grinding wheel recycling bin 29 is placed on top of the automatic grinding wheel changing device 1 and at the left end opening of the mounting frame 10.
[0017] An oiling wheel 19 is placed inside a grinding wheel frame 11. A mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the automatic grinding wheel changing device 1 and between the mounting frame 10 and the protective cover 9. An oil box opening and closing cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame 14.

A maintenance and replenishment oil port is provided on the surface of the protective cover 9 on one side of the mounting frame 14.
[0018] A working platform 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the automatic grinding wheel changing device 1. A dust collection device 2 is installed below the working platform 3. A small six-axis robot 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the working platform 3. A camera 6 is installed at one end of the small six-axis robot 4.

[0020] In summary, this automatic wheel bore grinding and measuring equipment requires manual placement of the grinding wheels according to the area markings on the mounting frame 10. The spherical grinding wheel 21 is placed within the spherical grinding wheel set 18, the straight-walled grinding wheel 20 is placed inside the straight-walled grinding wheel set 17, and the oiling wheel 19 is placed on the designated grinding wheel holder 11. The overhead robotic arm places the wheel on the work platform 3 and transmits the material location information to the large six-axis robot 7. The small six-axis robot 4, carrying the camera 6, takes a picture of the wheel's upper surface. The information of the inner hole center is provided to the six-axis robot 7. With the assistance of the automatic grinding wheel changing device 1, the six-axis robot 7 performs tasks such as installing grinding wheels, straight wall grinding, changing ball cutters, and grooving and chamfering grinding. During the grinding process, the dust is collected by the dust collection device 2, and the roughness is measured by the roughness detector 5. With the assistance of the automatic grinding wheel changing system, the six-axis robot 7 changes the oiling wheel 19 and applies anti-rust medium to the inner hole of the wheel. The wheel is then removed from the work platform 3, completing one processing cycle. When the grinding wheel assembly is being indexed, the output of the servo motor-controlled turntable 34 drives the grinding wheel lifting cylinder 30, the grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 31, the grinding wheel clamping cylinder 32, and the second clamp 33 to rotate to a specified angle. The two drive ends of the grinding wheel clamping cylinder 32 then open the second clamp 33. The grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 31 then adjusts the extension position of the grinding wheel clamping cylinder 32. Once in position, the two drive ends of the grinding wheel clamping cylinder 32 close the two second clamps 33, clamping the grinding wheel. The grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 31 then drives the grinding wheel clamping mechanism... Cylinder 32 retracts, removing the grinding wheel from the grinding wheel holder 11. The indexing and mounting grinding wheel assembly rotates to the tool changing position. Grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 31 extends, and grinding wheel lifting cylinder 30 rises, mounting the grinding wheel onto the grinding rod clamped in the first fixture 27. Grinding wheel clamping cylinder 32 releases, grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 31 retracts, and grinding wheel lifting cylinder 30 descends, completing the grinding wheel mounting action. The two drive ends of the grinding rod clamping cylinder 25 drive the two first fixtures 27 to release. The large six-axis robot 7, carrying the grinding rod and grinding wheel, returns to the tool changing position after completing the predetermined grinding work. During the clamping and disassembly of the grinding wheel assembly, the telescopic end of the grinding wheel lifting cylinder 23 pushes the grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 24 and the fixed frame 26 to rise. The telescopic end of the grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 24 pushes the fixed frame 26 to extend. The fixed frame 26 removes the grinding wheel. The grinding wheel lifting cylinder 23 descends, and the grinding wheel telescopic cylinder 24 remains stationary. At this time, the position of the removed grinding wheel is at the same center as the other grinding wheels. To install the grinding wheel assembly, remove the grinding wheel from the fixed frame 26 and place it on the grinding wheel holder 11 on the straight wall grinding wheel assembly 17 or the spherical grinding wheel assembly 18. When the grinding wheel reaches the end of its service life, throw the grinding wheel into the waste grinding wheel recycling box 29, replace the straight wall grinding wheel 20 and the spherical grinding wheel 21 with the oiling wheel 19, and repeat the above steps. Before the wiping roller 19 is replaced, the two drive ends of the oil box opening and closing cylinder 15 drive the two closed boxes 16 to open respectively. After the wiping roller is put back in its original position, the two drive ends of the oil box opening and closing cylinder 15 drive the two closed boxes 16 to close respectively, covering the wiping roller 19. Then the control system sprays oil according to the specified cycle. The oil inside the oil tank is drawn out through the sprayer and solenoid valve and then discharged into the oil nozzle 28. The oil is then sprayed onto the surface of the wiping roller 19 through the oil nozzle 28.
