Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rapid forming and veneer cutting machine for steel balls, belonging to the technical field of steel ball production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Steel balls, as the grinding media in ball mills, are widely used in the grinding process of ball mills. Ball mills are the main equipment in mineral processing and are widely used in mineral processing plants. my country is a major ore-producing country with a large number of ball mills in operation, requiring a large quantity of steel balls. Steel balls are consumable parts, and the annual consumption is substantial. Forged steel balls are widely used due to their long service life. Hot-rolled steel balls are also widely used because of their stable internal quality, dense microstructure, fine grains, resistance to deformation, and good wear resistance.
[0003] Conventional hot-rolled steel ball production processes generally adopt the ferrous metallurgical industry standard for forged (rolled) steel balls (YB / T091-2005) to professionally produce hot-rolled grinding steel balls of various specifications, with a diameter range of ¢25~¢125mm. The billets used for rolling grinding steel balls are hot-rolled round steel bars of various chemical compositions, with a diameter equal to the nominal diameter of the steel ball; conventional hot-rolled steel balls mainly... The production process should be as follows: Step 1: After inspection, the round steel bars are cut into steel ball blanks according to the specified length; Step 2: The steel ball billet is heated to a suitable temperature in a continuous heating furnace before rolling; Step 3: After the red-hot steel billet is fed into the hot rolling mill, it passes between two rolls with special spiral grooves. It rotates forward and is continuously rolled into steel balls; Step 4: The rolled red-hot steel balls are immediately sent to a heat treatment device for quenching and tempering heat treatment, so that the steel balls... Achieve high and uniform hardness; Step 5: Products that pass inspection are sent to the finished goods warehouse, packaged, and then shipped to customers.
[0004] Currently, the hot rolling process in step three of the steel ball production is commonly achieved using a skew rolling mill. This process employs a skew rolling technique, where two straight, non-parallel, intersecting rolls work together. The rolls rotate synchronously around their respective axes, relying on contact friction to propel the workpiece forward, gradually shaping it into a sphere. The connecting parts between the spheres gradually taper, eventually breaking off to obtain a steel ball. However, this skew rolling mill, which uses two intersecting rolls to shave the bar stock to produce steel balls, has relatively low production efficiency and cannot guarantee the final appearance quality of the steel balls. Furthermore, during steel ball production, the skew rolling mill requires upper and lower guide plates to guide and clamp the bar stock. These guide plates experience severe wear during production and require frequent replacement, significantly increasing the maintenance and replacement costs of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0025] Working principle: The bar stock is fed forward from the feeding mechanism to between the left and right rollers. The biting and distribution section uses gradually widening and heightening roller rings to cut into the round steel bar stock, gradually dividing it into spherical blanks of equal volume but different lengths. At this point, the spherical blanks have not yet separated from the bar stock. The wall of the spiral groove in the forming and cutting section is higher than the wall of the spiral groove in the biting and distribution section. The cross-section of the bottom of the spiral groove in the forming and cutting section is semi-circular. The forming and cutting section uses the wall of the spiral groove to compress the spherical blanks into spherical shapes and separate them from the bar stock. The wall of the spiral groove in the sizing section is higher than the wall of the spiral groove in the forming and cutting section. The arc of the semi-circular cross-section of the bottom of the sizing section is smaller than that of the semi-circular cross-section of the bottom of the spiral groove in the forming and cutting section. The sizing section uses the bottom and wall of the spiral groove to rotate the spherical blanks that have separated from the bar stock at multiple angles, further processing them into ideal spheres.
[0026] The roll alignment mechanism can adjust the front and rear positions of the roll. By rotating the second adjusting gear, the matching position between the second camshaft and the baffle can be adjusted, thereby fine-tuning the front and rear positions of the roll. Since the bearing housing is equipped with a self-aligning bearing, it can ensure that the roll is always in a horizontal position. By rotating the first adjusting gear, the matching position between the first camshaft and the swing arm can be adjusted, thereby fine-tuning the vertical position of the roll. By adjusting the lateral adjusting bolt, the left and right positions of the roll can be fine-tuned.
