Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of abrasive equipment technology, specifically to an abrasive tool for machining deep holes using a lathe. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, deep hole grinding is a high-precision machining process, typically used to finely grind the inner walls of drilled or bored holes to improve surface finish, roundness, and dimensional accuracy. Traditional deep hole grinding usually relies on specialized deep hole grinding machines, which are complex in structure, expensive, and only suitable for specific machining scenarios, resulting in high equipment investment costs and low utilization rates for small and medium-sized enterprises.

[0003] The existing technology has at least the following defects and shortcomings: (1) Strong dependence on special equipment: Traditional deep hole grinding requires the use of special grinding machines, and ordinary lathes cannot be directly used for internal hole grinding, resulting in low equipment utilization. (2) Complex structure and difficult adjustment: Most existing deep hole grinding tools adopt an integral long shaft structure, which has poor rigidity and is difficult to adapt to the processing requirements of deep holes of different lengths. (3) Low power transmission efficiency: Some grinding tools use an external motor to directly drive the grinding wheel, resulting in a bulky structure and difficulty in stable installation on a lathe. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a grinding tool for machining deep holes using a lathe. It can be adapted to a regular horizontal lathe and installed using the existing tool post of the lathe to realize the deep hole grinding function, thereby significantly improving the equipment utilization rate and reducing the processing cost of enterprises.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A grinding wheel for machining deep holes on a lathe includes a hollow first and second rod section, a first shaft, a second shaft, a grinding wheel, a power input wheel, and a tool holder fixture. The first and second rod sections are coaxially connected, with flanges fixed to both ends. Bearing seats are installed inside the flanges, and bearings are installed inside the bearing seats for rotatably supporting the first and second shafts. The first and second shafts are coaxially connected, with both ends extending to the outside of the flanges. The grinding wheel is installed at the end of the first shaft, and the power input wheel is installed at the end of the second shaft. Motor power is transmitted sequentially through the power input wheel, the second shaft, and the first shaft to the grinding wheel, driving the grinding wheel to rotate. The tool holder fixture is fixed to the outer wall of the second rod section for mounting the grinding wheel to the lathe tool post.

[0007] Furthermore, the first and second rod sections are detachably connected.

[0008] Furthermore, the first and second rod sections are detachably connected via splines.

[0009] Furthermore, the flange includes a first flange and a second flange, with the first flange installed at the extended ends of the first and second shafts, and the second flange installed at the connecting end of the first and second shafts.

[0010] Furthermore, the first flange is connected to the first and second rod sections by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the second flange is coaxially connected to the first and second rod sections through a protrusion and groove insertion fit, wherein the cross-section of the protrusion and groove is polygonal.

[0012] Furthermore, the first axis and the second axis are coaxially connected by a key.

[0013] Furthermore, the bearing is a deep groove ball bearing.

[0014] Furthermore, the power input wheel is a pulley, which is connected to the motor output shaft via a transmission belt. The transmission belt and the pulley groove form a frictional transmission or meshing transmission.

[0015] Furthermore, the pulley is a belt pulley, and the transmission belt is a V-belt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0017] 1. This utility model directly fixes the tool holder onto the lathe tool post using a tool holder fixture, eliminating the need for a dedicated grinding machine and enabling ordinary horizontal lathes to perform deep hole grinding. It adopts a split rod design (first section rod and second section rod), allowing for flexible length adjustment according to the machining depth, thus improving applicability. Power is received from the lathe motor or an external motor via a power input wheel (such as a pulley), driving the grinding wheel to rotate through the coaxially connected first and second axes, ensuring stable grinding. This utility model is particularly suitable for small- to medium-batch deep hole machining scenarios, such as precision internal hole grinding of hydraulic cylinder barrels, gun barrels, and oil drill pipes, significantly reducing equipment investment costs and improving the machining flexibility of existing lathes.

[0018] 2. The first and second sections of this utility model are detachably connected, allowing users to flexibly assemble or disassemble the rods according to the required machining depth, adapting to deep hole grinding tasks of different lengths and improving the equipment's versatility. If a section of the rod is worn or damaged, it can be replaced individually, reducing operating costs.

[0019] 3. The first and second sections of the rod are detachably connected by a spline. The spline connection ensures the coaxiality of the two sections, avoiding vibration or machining errors caused by eccentricity during grinding. The spline structure can effectively transmit rotational power and prevent slippage at the connection, making it suitable for high-load grinding conditions.

[0020] 4. This utility model flange includes a first flange and a second flange. The first flange is installed at the extended ends of the first and second shafts, and the second flange is installed at the connecting end of the first and second shafts. It provides dual support for stability: the first flange supports the grinding wheel and the power input wheel end, while the second flange reinforces the shaft connection, reducing cantilever deformation of the long shaft and improving overall rigidity. It also facilitates assembly: the split flange design simplifies bearing installation and shaft adjustment.

[0021] 5. The first flange of this utility model is connected to the first and second rod sections by bolts; it is detachable for maintenance: the bolt connection facilitates the disassembly of the flange for bearing replacement or lubrication, extending its service life. The connection is secure: the bolt preload prevents the flange from loosening, ensuring stability under high-speed rotation.

[0022] 6. In this utility model, the second flange is coaxially connected to the first and second rod sections via a protrusion and groove insertion fit. The cross-section of the protrusion and groove is polygonal. Quick positioning: The polygonal protrusion and groove (e.g., quadrilateral) provide circumferential anti-rotation, eliminating the need for an additional keyway and simplifying the assembly process. Strong torsional resistance: The polygonal structure is more resistant to torque than a circular cross-section, preventing relative rotation at the connection point.

[0023] 7. The first and second shafts of this utility model are coaxially connected by a key, resulting in efficient power transmission: The key connection (such as a flat key or spline) ensures synchronous rotation of the two shafts without slippage, making it suitable for high-precision grinding. Compact structure: Compared to couplings, key connections occupy less space, making them suitable for the limited installation environment of lathe tool post. The compact structure saves space, has strong torque bearing capacity, and the standardized design facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0024] 8. The power input wheel of this utility model is a pulley, which is connected to the motor output shaft via a V-belt. The V-belt and the pulley groove form a friction transmission. The transmission structure is simple and reliable, easy to install and maintain, economical and practical, and highly adaptable to various environments. This transmission method is particularly suitable for the deep hole grinding modification of small and medium-sized lathes, ensuring reliable power transmission while also considering economy and ease of maintenance.
