Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a CNC camshaft grinding machine includes a worktable 1. A first rectangular tube 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable 1. A second rectangular tube 3 is fitted onto the surface of the first rectangular tube 2. A first mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second rectangular tube 3.

A first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first mounting base 4. A first rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 6. A circular hole 8 is opened on the left side of the second rectangular tube 3. A first bearing 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole 8 and the surface of the first rotating shaft 7. A first three-jaw chuck 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft 7. The back of the two rectangular tubes 3 is fixedly connected to a first guide sleeve 11. The inner wall of the first guide sleeve 11 is slidably connected to a slide plate 12. The front of the slide plate 12 is fixedly connected to a first connecting block 13. The left side of the first connecting block 13 and the left side of the second rectangular tube 3 are both fixedly connected to a second electric push rod 14. The front of the slide plate 12 is fixedly connected to a second connecting block 15. The inner wall of the second connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to a second bearing 16. The inner ring of the second bearing 16 is fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft 17. The surface of the second rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to a second three-jaw chuck 18. The upper surface of the worktable 1 is fixedly connected to a translation mechanism 19. The front of the translation mechanism 19 is fixedly connected to a grinding mechanism 20.
[0027] The second rotating shaft 17 is located to the left of the first rotating shaft 7, and the axis of the second rotating shaft 17 coincides with the axis of the first rotating shaft 7.
[0028] The translation mechanism 19 includes a third rectangular tube 191, a guide post 192, a second guide sleeve 193, a vertical plate 194, and a third electric push rod 195. The bottom of the third rectangular tube 191 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable 1. The left and right ends of the guide post 192 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third rectangular tube 191. The surface of the guide post 192 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second guide sleeve 193. The upper and lower sides of the vertical plate 194 are fixedly connected to the surface of the second guide sleeve 193. The left and right ends of the third electric push rod 195 are fixedly connected to the right side of the vertical plate 194 and the inner wall of the third rectangular tube 191, respectively. The front of the vertical plate 194 is fixedly connected to the back of the grinding mechanism 20.
[0029] The grinding mechanism 20 includes a second mounting base 201, a second motor 202, a third rotating shaft 203, a connecting plate 204, and a grinding disc 205. The back of the second mounting base 201 is fixedly connected to the front of the vertical plate 194. The right side of the second mounting base 201 is fixedly connected to the left side of the second motor 202. The output end of the second motor 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the third rotating shaft 203. The surface of the third rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 204. The right side of the connecting plate 204 is fixedly connected to the left side of the grinding disc 205.
[0030] It should be noted that the second rectangular tube 3 can move up and down on the first rectangular tube 2. The second rectangular tube 3 can be controlled to move up or down by the first electric push rod 5. The camshaft can be connected to the first rotating shaft 7 by the first three-jaw chuck 10, and the first motor 6 can drive the camshaft to rotate.
[0031] The first guide sleeve 11 allows the slide plate 12 to move only left and right. The second electric push rod 14 can control the left and right movement of the slide plate 12. The gap between the first three-jaw chuck 10 and the second three-jaw chuck 18 can be adjusted according to the camshaft of different lengths. When the left end of the camshaft is fixed on the second three-jaw chuck 18, the left end of the camshaft can be limited by the second three-jaw chuck 18.
[0032] With the cooperation of the guide post 192 and the second guide sleeve 193, the vertical plate 194 can only move left and right. The third electric push rod 195 can control the vertical plate 194 to move left or right. The grinding disc 205 can be connected to the third rotating shaft 203 through the connecting plate 204, and the second motor 202 can drive the grinding disc 205 to rotate. When the grinding disc 205 rotates and moves from left to right, the two camshafts can be ground at the same time through the grinding disc 205.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a third guide sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the front of the workbench 1, a column 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the third guide sleeve 21, a horizontal column 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 22, a fourth electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal column 23 and the upper surface of the workbench 1, a support block 25 is fixedly connected to the back of the column 22, and an arc groove 26 is opened on the upper surface of the support block 25.
[0034] There are two support blocks 25, and both support blocks 25 are located between the first three-jaw chuck 10 and the second three-jaw chuck 18.
[0035] It should be noted that the third guide sleeve 21 allows the column 22 to move only up and down, while the fourth electric push rod 24 controls the up and down movement of the column 22. By moving the column 22, the position of the support block 25 can be adjusted according to the installation position of the camshaft. When the camshaft is placed in the arc groove 26, the support block 25 supports the camshaft, and the arc groove 26 aligns the camshaft with the first three-jaw chuck 10. This effectively reduces the difficulty of fixing the camshaft to the first three-jaw chuck 10, making it easier for the user to fix the camshaft on the first three-jaw chuck 10.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the grinding mechanism 20 is moved to the leftmost position by the third electric push rod 195. Then, the support block 25 is moved to a suitable position by the fourth electric push rod 24. Then, the camshaft to be ground is placed in the arc groove 26. At this time, the camshaft is supported by the support block 25, and the camshaft is aligned with the first three-jaw chuck 10 by the arc groove 26. Then, by translating the camshaft, the right end of the camshaft is inserted into the first three-jaw chuck 10, and the camshaft is fixed together with the first rotating shaft 7 by the first three-jaw chuck 10.
[0037] After the right end of the camshaft is fixed to the first three-jaw chuck 10, the distance between the second three-jaw chuck 18 and the first three-jaw chuck 10 is reduced by the second electric push rod 14. When the left end of the camshaft is inserted into the second three-jaw chuck 18, the second electric push rod 14 stops controlling the slide plate 12 to move, and then the left end of the camshaft is fixed together with the second three-jaw chuck 18.
[0038] After the two camshafts are fixed between the first three-jaw chuck 10 and the second three-jaw chuck 18, the bottom surface of the support block 25 is brought into contact with the worktable 1 by the fourth electric push rod 24. Then, the camshaft is driven to rotate by the first motor 6. Then, the grinding disc 205 is driven to rotate by the second motor 202, and the grinding disc 205 is controlled to move from left to right by the third electric push rod 195. At this time, the rotating camshaft can be ground by the horizontally moving and rotating grinding disc 205. At the same time, when the grinding disc 205 moves from left to right, the camshaft can be controlled to move up or down according to its own contour by the first electric push rod 5.
[0039] After the two camshafts are ground, the grinding mechanism 20 is moved to the leftmost position by the third electric push rod 195. Then, the first motor 6 and the second motor 202 are turned off. After the camshafts and the grinding disc 205 stop rotating, the second three-jaw chuck 18 is first released from the clamp on the left end of the camshaft. Then, the second electric push rod 14 controls the slide plate 12 to move so that the distance between the second three-jaw chuck 18 and the left end of the camshaft reaches the specified size. Then, by releasing the right end of the camshaft with the first three-jaw chuck 10, the ground camshaft can be removed from the grinding machine.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
