Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe grinding equipment technology, and in particular to an adaptive grinding head assembly. Background Technology

[0002] When grinding pipes, the grinding head assembly usually needs to be aligned with the pipe to accurately grind the upper part of the pipe. The grinding head assembly typically includes a cutter shaft, a cutter disc fixedly sleeved on the lower outer end of the cutter shaft, and blades fixed to the side of the cutter disc. The blades grind the upper part of the pipe. A positioning pin is fixed to the lower end of the cutter shaft, which extends into the pipe and fits with the inner wall of the pipe to achieve alignment between the grinding head assembly and the pipe. However, due to the pipe itself having a certain positional deviation or the positional deviation occurring during positioning, the grinding head assembly is prone to eccentric motion when rotating. Uneven force on the grinding head assembly causes severe vibration, which can easily lead to equipment or pipe damage in the long run.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0020] First embodiment: This embodiment discloses an adaptive grinding head assembly.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive grinding head assembly includes a shank 1, a blade assembly 4, and a connecting assembly.

[0022] The upper end of the handle 1 is connected to a motor, which drives the entire adaptive grinding head assembly to rotate.

[0023] The cutter assembly 4 includes a cutter head 41 and a cutter shaft 42. The cutter head 41 is sleeved and fixed to the lower end of the cutter shaft 42. The cutter blade 43 is fixed to the side of the cutter head 41.

[0024] The connecting assembly includes a connecting sleeve 2 and a cross coupling 3. The connecting sleeve 2 is a hollow structure, and the cross coupling 3 is fitted inside the connecting sleeve 2. The lower end of the cross coupling 3 can slide radially relative to the upper end. Specifically, the lower end of the shank 1 passes through the upper end of the connecting sleeve 2 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cross coupling 3, while the upper end of the cutter shaft 42 passes through the lower end of the connecting sleeve 2 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cross coupling 3.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, exemplarily, the connecting sleeve 2 includes a cylindrical body 21, an upper cover 22, and a lower cover 23. The cylindrical body 21 is vertically arranged and has openings at both the top and bottom. The upper cover 22 is fixed to the upper end of the cylindrical body 21, and the lower cover 23 is fixed to the lower end of the cylindrical body 21. The cylindrical body 21, the upper cover 22, and the lower cover 23 form a cavity for accommodating the cross coupling 3. The upper cover 22 passes through a locking screw to clamp the handle 1, and the lower cover 23 passes through a locking screw to clamp the cutter shaft 42. Figure 2 As shown, the cross coupling 3 includes a cross shaft 31, a first fork 32, and a second fork 33. A first slide 321 is provided at the lower end of the first fork 32, and a first groove 311 is formed at the upper end of the cross shaft 31. The first slide 321 engages with the upper end of the first groove 311 and can slide along the first groove 311. A second slide 331 is provided at the upper end of the second fork 33, and a second groove 312 is formed at the lower end of the cross shaft 31. The second slide 312 engages with the second groove 312 and can slide along the second groove 312. Of course, in other embodiments of this invention, the first slide 321 and the second slide 331 can be respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the cross shaft 31, with the first groove 311 located at the lower end of the first fork 32 and the second groove located at the upper end of the second fork 33, as long as the first slide 321 can slide along the first groove 311 and the second slide 312 can slide along the second groove 312. Preferably, the first slide 321 and the second slide 312 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, further, the lower end of the upper cover 22 extends out a first extension 221 into the cylinder 21, and the set screw 24 is screwed into the side of the cylinder 21 and tightened, pressing against the side of the first extension 221. The upper end of the lower cover 23 extends out a second extension 231 into the cylinder 21, and the set screw 24 is screwed into the side of the cylinder 21 and tightened, pressing against the side of the second extension 231, which facilitates the installation and removal of the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23, and facilitates the replacement of the cross coupling 3.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive grinding head assembly further includes a first thrust bearing 44, which is sleeved on the outside of the cutter shaft 42. The upper end of the first thrust bearing 44 is connected to the lower end of the connecting sleeve 2, and the lower end is connected to the upper end of the cutter disc 41. The lower cover 23 has a through hole for the cutter shaft 42 to pass through. The first thrust bearing 44 can withstand the axial force during grinding of the cutter assembly 4, and at the same time, it can allow a certain amount of offset of the axis of the cutter assembly 4, reducing the wear between the cutter assembly 4 and the connecting sleeve 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive grinding head assembly further includes a positioning component 5, which includes a positioning post 51. The positioning post 51 extends into the interior of the pipe 6 to be processed, and the outer side of the positioning post 51 is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the pipe 6 to ensure that the tool assembly 4 is coaxial with the pipe 6. A screw 52 passes through the positioning post 51 and is threadedly connected to the lower end of the tool shaft 42, fixing the positioning post 51 to the tool shaft 42.

[0029] In this embodiment, the shank 1 and the blade assembly 4 are connected by a cross coupling 3. The cross coupling 3 is sleeved in the connecting sleeve 2, so that the upper and lower parts of the cross coupling 3 are connected. During rotation, the lower part of the cross coupling 3 can move radially toward the axis of the pipe relative to the upper part, so that the blade assembly 4 can be nearly coaxial with the pipe, reducing the vibration when the grinding head assembly rotates, extending the service life of the grinding head assembly, and improving the grinding accuracy of the grinding head assembly.

[0030] Second embodiment: Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment further optimizes and refines the positioning component 5 of the first embodiment.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, screw 52 is a smooth screw 53. The smooth screw 53 includes a threaded part 531, a smooth part 532 and a head 533 connected from top to bottom. The outer diameter of the head 533 is larger than the outer diameter of the smooth part 532. The outer diameter of the smooth part 532 is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded part 531. The smooth part 532 passes through the positioning post 51 and abuts against the lower end of the cutter shaft 42. The threaded part 531 is threadedly connected to the cutter shaft 42. The positioning assembly 5 also includes a second thrust bearing 54. The second thrust bearing 54 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the smooth part 532. The upper end is connected to the lower end of the cutter shaft 42, and the lower end is embedded in the upper end of the positioning post 51.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the pipe to be processed 6 further has a diameter reducing part 61 inside, and the lower end of the outer side of the positioning post 51 has an inclined surface. The angle between the inclined surface and the axis of the positioning post is greater than the angle between the diameter reducing part 61 and the axis of the pipe to be processed 6, which increases the insertion depth of the positioning post 51 and prevents the positioning post 51 from getting stuck with the pipe.

[0033] In this embodiment, a smooth rod screw 53 is used, which is threaded to the lower end of the cutter shaft 42. The positioning pin 51 is rotatably sleeved on the smooth rod portion 532 of the smooth rod screw 53. The second thrust bearing 54 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the smooth rod portion 532. The positioning pin 51 and the second thrust bearing 54 are limited between the screw head 533 and the lower end of the cutter shaft 42. When the adaptive grinding head assembly rotates, the positioning pin 51 contacts the inner wall of the pipe and rotates together, reducing wear between the positioning pin 51 and the inner wall of the pipe. The second thrust bearing 54 allows for a certain offset of the axis of the positioning pin 51, further reducing wear between the positioning pin 51 and the inner wall of the pipe.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
