AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The shortening of the grindstone shaft to improve rigidity and reduce spark-out grinding time results in insufficient supply of grinding fluid, leading to grinding burn and reduced grindstone life due to increased temperature and wear.

Method used

A grinding method and grindstone design with a guide structure on the base that changes the flow direction of the grinding fluid, ensuring sufficient supply to the grinding portion, even with a short shaft, and includes features like concave surfaces, twisted blades, and grooves to enhance fluid delivery and prevent splashing.

Benefits of technology

The method and design reduce grinding burn, extend grindstone life, maintain machining accuracy, and decrease machining time by ensuring effective fluid supply and preventing fluid loss, thereby improving machining speed.

Abstract

A grindstone (10) with a shaft includes a base (11), a grindstone shaft (12) having one end supported by the base (11), and a grindstone (13) attached to the grindstone shaft (12). The base (11) is provided with a guide structure (15a, 17, 18, 18a) so that a grinding fluid discharged toward an outer peripheral surface of the base (11) is supplied to a grinding portion of the workpiece (1) while a flow direction of the grinding fluid is changed.
