Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thread grinding technology, specifically to a high-precision external thread grinding head with no backlash. Background Technology
[0002] A thread grinding machine is a machine tool used to process threads. It is mainly used for precision grinding of threads. Thread grinding machines usually use a grinding method, through a grinding head, to process the workpiece to obtain a precise thread shape and size. To save on operating costs, current external thread grinding machine drive heads often adopt a structure with a fixed center and a rotating dial. This structure typically uses a geared motor or belt drive, both of which have backlash. This causes a brief idle stroke when the transmission system switches directions, resulting in a delayed response at the output end and affecting grinding accuracy. For example, the pitch accuracy of the thread grinding machine may be reduced due to the accumulation of backlash errors, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the lead screw. Therefore, in view of this, the present invention proposes a high-precision external thread grinding head with no backlash to make up for and improve the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

The torque motor stator is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing. The torque motor rotor is rotatably connected to the center of the torque motor stator. The outer ring of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the torque motor rotor. The inner ring of the sleeve is rotatably connected to the center. The drive end of the sleeve is used to drive the rotation of the dial to rotate the workpiece.
[0004] Preferably, a filter assembly is provided between the housing and the sleeve. The filter assembly includes a rotating shaft, a fan blade, and a collection box. The rotating shaft is driven to the drive end of the sleeve, the fan blade is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the collection box is detachably connected to the outer surface of the housing. The suction force generated by the rotation of the fan blade sucks the metal debris generated by the grinding machine into the collection box.
[0005] Preferably, the drive assembly also includes a bearing disposed between the tip and the sleeve, with a shaft at the center of the bearing.
[0006] Preferably, a flange is fixed to the outer surface of the tip, a lock nut is provided on the flange, and a sealing ring is provided between the flange and the lock nut.
[0007] Preferably, a transition plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve, and a hollow shaft encoder is fixedly installed at the end of the transition plate away from the sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the filter assembly also includes a rotating disk fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating shaft, and a belt is used for transmission between the rotating disk and the sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the filtration assembly also includes a filter screen fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection box, and a pump is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the collection box.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model, through the setting of the drive component, uses the stator and rotor of the torque motor to drive the dial, and uses the torque motor on the drive head where the top is stationary and the dial moves, to achieve a backlash-free drive structure. Furthermore, the position detection adopts a hollow shaft encoder to achieve backlash-free motion, thereby improving the accuracy of the main spindle drive head. This invention enables the drive head to be forcibly cooled by circulating coolant through the water-cooling outlet and water-cooling inlet, thus ensuring the accuracy of the drive head. This invention, through its filter assembly, utilizes a belt and rotating shaft that follow the rotation of the sleeve. The rotating shaft, carrying the fan blades, generates suction to draw metal debris produced during grinding into a collection box, facilitating the automatic collection of metal debris generated during grinding.

The outer ring of the sleeve 35 is fixedly connected to the torque motor rotor 32, and the inner ring of the sleeve 35 is rotatably connected to the center 5. The drive end of the sleeve 35 is used to drive the rotation of the dial to rotate the workpiece. Drive assembly 3 also includes a bearing 33 disposed between the center 5 and the sleeve 35. A shaft 34 is provided at the center of the bearing 33. The sleeve 35 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the center 5 through the bearing 33. The outer surface of the center 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the center 5. A flange 7 is fixed, and a locking nut 8 is provided on the flange 7. A sealing ring 6 is provided between the flange 7 and the locking nut 8. The sealing ring 6 is used to seal between the housing 1 and the center 5. A transition plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 35. A hollow shaft encoder 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the transition plate 9 away from the sleeve 35. The sleeve 35 is rotated by a torque motor. The hollow shaft encoder 10 is used to detect the accuracy. The center 5 is fixed, and the rotating dial moves the workpiece to rotate, realizing the interpolation of workpiece rotation and Z-axis movement. Due to the use of torque motor drive and hollow shaft encoder 10, the workpiece rotation is backlash-free, achieving high precision. The above scheme is adopted: by setting the drive component 3, the torque motor stator 31 and torque motor rotor 32 drive the dial, and the torque motor is used on the drive head where the top 5 is stationary and the dial moves, thus realizing a backlash-free drive structure. The position detection adopts hollow shaft encoder 10 to realize backlash-free movement, thereby improving the accuracy of the main shaft drive head.
[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a filter assembly 4 is provided between the housing 1 and the sleeve 35. The filter assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 43, a fan blade 44, and a collection box 45. The rotating shaft 43 is driven to the drive end of the sleeve 35. The fan blade 44 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 43. The collection box 45 is detachably connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. The suction force generated by the rotation of the fan blade 44 draws metal debris generated by the grinding machine into the collection box 45. The filter assembly 4 also includes a rotating disk 42 fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating shaft 43. The rotating disk 42 and the sleeve 35 are connected to each other. The intermediate drive is connected by a belt 41. The filter assembly 4 also includes a water-cooled outlet 47 opened at the drain end of the box 1 and a water-cooled inlet 48 opened at the inlet end of the box 1. The filter assembly 4 also includes a filter screen 46 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection box 45. The filter screen 46 divides the inner cavity of the collection box 45 into a debris storage cavity and a heat dissipation cavity.

The pump 49's liquid suction end is connected to the water-cooled outlet 47 through a liquid suction pipe, and the pump 49's liquid discharge end is connected to the water-cooled inlet 48 through a liquid discharge pipe. By adopting the above solution, the coolant is circulated through the water-cooling outlet 47 and the water-cooling inlet 48, which enables the drive head to be forcibly cooled by the coolant, thus ensuring the accuracy of the drive head. In addition, the filter assembly 4 can utilize the belt 41 and the rotating shaft 43 to follow the rotation of the sleeve 35, so that the rotating shaft 43 carries the fan blade 44 and the suction force generated by the rotation can suck the metal debris generated by the grinding machine into the collection box 45, which is beneficial for the device to automatically collect the metal debris generated by the grinding machine.
