[0003] Currently, the material mixing components and bearing parts of bearing steel ball polishing equipment mostly adopt a single motion coordination or fixed contact structure. During the polishing process, the material is prone to layering and accumulation due to force imbalance, resulting in uneven contact between the steel balls and polishing powder. This structural defect is more prominent when processing batches of steel balls or polishing steel balls of different specifications, which directly affects the consistency of the surface finish of the steel balls.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, it is necessary to develop a bearing steel ball polishing device with a stable motion coordination structure and optimized material interaction. Through efficient motion coordination design and reliable constraint mechanisms, the stability and polishing accuracy of the polishing device in batch operations can be improved, meeting the technical requirements of high-quality precision machining of bearing steel balls in the precision manufacturing field.

[0018] The drive assembly includes a housing 301 fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the support base 1. The inner side wall and the inner bottom wall of the housing 301 are movably connected by bearings. A worm gear 302 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the housing 301 via bearings, and a worm 303 is movably connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 301 via bearings. The worm gear 302 and the worm 303 form a mating relationship to achieve power transmission. A second motor for driving the worm 303 to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer bottom of the housing 301.

[0019] Two eccentric wheels 304 are located on the outer side of the chassis 301. The sidewalls of the eccentric wheels 304 are fixedly connected to the worm gear 302 via short shafts. A bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis 301. A swing frame 305 is rotatably connected inside the bracket. A connecting rod 306 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the swing frame 305. A linkage circular frame 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 306. The linkage circular frame 307 is sleeved on the outer side of the eccentric wheels 304. The linkage circular frame 307 and the eccentric wheels 304 are movably connected via bearings.

[0020] A push block 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the swing frame 305. A transmission rod 311 with a regular polygonal cross-section is fixedly connected to one end of the worm gear 303 extending to the top of the housing 301. A push cylinder 309 that can slide along its axial direction is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the transmission rod 311. The bottom end of the push cylinder 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 401 included in the rotating shovel assembly. An annular push rail 310 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the push cylinder 309, and the push block 308 is slidably connected to the outer side of the annular push rail 310.

[0021] The rotary shovel assembly also includes multiple scrapers 402 fixed to the bottom of the rotary frame 401. A shaft cylinder 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the inside of the material box 2. The push cylinder 309 is slidably connected inside the shaft cylinder 5. It should be noted that the rotation direction of the material box 2 is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary frame 401.

[0022] Example 2: A ring track 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1, a ring slide 7 and a ring toothed plate 8 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the material box 2, a support is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support base 1, a motor 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the support, and a gear 10 that meshes with the ring toothed plate 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9.

[0023] The top and side walls of the material bin 2 are respectively provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, and both the feed inlet and the discharge outlet are sealed with partitions.

[0024] Combining Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: After adding bearing steel balls and polishing powder into the feed hopper 2 through the feed inlet, and sealing the feed inlet with a partition, the equipment enters the complete polishing process. After the worm gear 303 is driven to rotate by the second motor, the worm gear 303 drives the transmission rod 311 at the top to rotate synchronously. Since the inner groove of the push cylinder 309 is perfectly matched with the regular polygonal cross-section of the transmission rod 311, the transmission rod 311 can stably transmit torque when rotating, and will not hinder the push cylinder 309 from sliding along its axial direction. Therefore, the push cylinder 309 will rotate synchronously with the transmission rod 311, thereby driving the rotating frame 401 and multiple scrapers 402 to rotate. At this time, the scrapers 402 move in a circular motion inside the material box 2, turning the bearing steel balls and polishing powder at the bottom of the material box 2 upward, breaking the static accumulation state of the material, so that the bearing steel balls and polishing powder are initially mixed and generate relative friction.

[0025] On the other hand, when the worm gear 302 rotates with the worm 303, it drives the two outer eccentric wheels 304 to rotate eccentrically in sync via the short shaft. The eccentric motion of the eccentric wheels 304 further drives the linkage frame 307 to pull or push the swing frame 305 to reciprocate vertically around the support via the connecting rod 306. During the swing of the swing frame 305, the push block 308 on its inner sidewall slides along the annular push rail 310 on the outer side of the push cylinder 309. Since the annular push rail 310 is fixedly connected to the push cylinder 309, the sliding of the push block 308 will drive the push cylinder 309 to move vertically reciprocally along the axis of the transmission rod 311. This movement will be synchronously transmitted to the rotating frame 401 and the scraper 402, so that the scraper 402, while maintaining its rotation, will also obtain an additional up-and-down motion trajectory.

[0026] Under this combined rotation and lifting motion, the scraper 402 can not only turn the material radially along the material box 2, but also stir the material at different heights vertically. When rising, it can lift the lower layer of material to the upper layer, and when falling, it can press the upper layer of material to the lower layer, completely avoiding the phenomenon of "layered static" material in the material box 2. This ensures that each bearing steel ball can fully contact the polishing powder, and the collision and friction frequency between the bearing steel balls is greatly increased, providing a foundation for the polishing effect. At the same time, during the lifting and rotation process, the pusher cylinder 309 always slides along the shaft cylinder 5 at the center of the material box 2. The shaft cylinder 5 provides a stable guide for the pusher cylinder 309, effectively preventing the pusher cylinder 309 from deviating or shaking due to the combined motion, ensuring the precise movement trajectory of the rotating frame 401 and the scraper 402, and avoiding collision with the inner wall of the material box 2.

[0027] While the rotary shovel assembly performs its "rotation + lifting" motion, the motor 9 on the side support of the support base 1 starts, and the gear 10 at its output end meshes with the annular toothed plate 8 at the bottom of the material box 2, thereby driving the material box 2 to move as a whole. At this time, the annular slide bar 7 at the bottom of the material box 2 slides along the annular track 6 at the top of the support base 1. The cooperation between the annular track 6 and the annular slide bar 7 not only provides stable support for the material box 2, but also reduces the frictional resistance when the material box 2 rotates, ensuring that the material box 2 can smoothly perform circumferential deflection.

[0028] The key is that the rotation direction of the material bin 2 is opposite to that of the rotating frame 401. This reverse motion creates the effect of "reverse linkage between the material container and the mixing component": On the one hand, the reverse rotation of the material bin 2 will cause the bearing steel balls and polishing powder inside to produce a circular motion opposite to the rotation direction of the scraper 402, which significantly increases the relative speed between the bearing steel balls and polishing powder, and between the bearing steel balls and the scraper 402, further increasing the friction intensity and thus accelerating the polishing process of the bearing steel ball surface; on the other hand, the reverse motion can avoid the problem of "material following inertia" caused by unidirectional motion. If the material bin 2 and the rotating frame 401 rotate in the same direction, some materials may move synchronously with the container due to inertia, resulting in insufficient mixing. The reverse motion can break this inertia, keeping the material in a dynamic disordered state, so that each bearing steel ball can be evenly coated with polishing powder and fully rubbed.

[0029] Throughout the polishing process, the feed inlet of material bin 2 is always blocked by a partition. This effectively prevents material from overflowing from the feed inlet during vigorous stirring and circular motion, ensuring that the bearing steel balls and polishing powder in material bin 2 maintain sufficient contact and avoiding material loss that could affect polishing efficiency and results. After the polishing operation is completed, motors 1 and 2 can be turned off first. After material bin 2, rotating frame 401, and scraper 402 have completely stopped moving, the discharge port partition on the side wall of material bin 2 can be opened. At this time, the polished bearing steel balls and used polishing powder can be discharged from the discharge port by tilting material bin 2 or by slightly rotating scraper 402, completing the entire operation process.
