The invention relates to the field of super-hard material grinding tools, and in particular to a high-rotational speed cup-shaped grinding wheel.
The diamond working blade ring, used in a cup-shaped grinding wheel of the existing medium-and-low-rotational speed machining technology, mainly adopts a form of a through blade ring (including an oblique through gear), an inner blade ring (including a helical inner gear), an outer blade ring (including a helical outer gear), and a blade-free ring. During high-rotational speed machining, a layer of “airflow barrier” will be formed on an inner wall, an outer wall and a working surface of the grinding wheel. The above-mentioned forms of cup-shaped grinding wheels all suffer from a defect that cooling water cannot fully act on the entire working surface under the action of the “airflow barrier” and centrifugal force. Therefore, the cup-shaped grinding wheel in the prior art cannot adapt to high-rotational speed machining, which will be explained as follows:
Two adjacent blades of through-blade ring-type cup-shaped grinding wheels in the prior art (see
In the inner blade ring-type cup-shaped grinding wheel of the prior art (see
Blade-free ring-type cup-shaped grinding wheel (see
During high-rotational speed machining, if the cooling water is applied to the grinding zone along a circumferential direction of the grinding wheel, and then the cooling water is applied in a direction from the outer diameter to the inner diameter, the cooling water will be strongly affected by the “airflow barrier” and centrifugal force, and it will be difficult for the cooling water to enter the grinding zone, leading to a poor cooling effect. Therefore, during high-rotational speed machining, most of the cooling water should enter the inner diameter cavity, covering the working surface from the inside to the outside, in order to obtain a good cooling effect.
To sum up, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-rotational speed cup-shaped grinding wheel in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art.
The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows. A high-rotational speed cup-shaped grinding wheel includes an annular base and a plurality of blades. The blades are arranged at an interval in a circumferential direction and are fixed on a side of the base to form a blade ring, a side of the blade ring away from the base is an annular working surface, and two adjacent blades are spaced apart to form a water passage channel for delivering cooling water to the working surface. The high-rotational speed cup-shaped grinding wheel further includes a flow splitting structure. The flow splitting structure is fixed on the blade ring and divides the cooling water into two branches, wherein a first branch delivers the cooling water to an outer area of the working surface through an interior of the water passage channel under a centrifugal force due to rotation of the base, and a second branch delivers the cooling water to an inner area of the working surface through an exterior of the water passage channel under a centrifugal force due to rotation of the base, and delivers the cooling water from an inner area of the working surface to an outer side area thereof upon being blocked by a machined workpiece.
The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follow: when the cup-shaped grinding wheel rotates at a high speed, the cooling water entering the inner diameter cavity can be divided into two branches by virtue of centrifugal force, and the two branches are used to deliver the cooling water to the inner and outer areas of the working surface respectively, and then the cooling water completely covers the working surface and fully implements cooling, which provides a cooling guarantee for high-speed, high-quality and high-efficiency grinding.
On the basis of above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention can implement further improvements as described below.
Further, the flow splitting structure includes an outer ring body and an inner ring body; the outer ring body is fixed on an outer side of the blade ring, the inner ring body is fixed on an inner side of the blade ring, and a water passage hole that is in communication with the water passage channel is provided at a sidewall of the inner ring body that corresponds to the water passage channel, whereby the first branch is formed from the water passage hole to the outer area of the working surface through the water passage channel, and the second branch is formed from an inner sidewall of the inner ring body to the inner area of the working surface.
The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the cooling water entering the inner diameter cavity can be divided into two branches, and the two branches deliver the cooling water to the inner and outer areas of the working surface respectively.
Further, the water passage hole is an annular structure, and is provided on the sidewall of the inner ring body in a circle.
Further, the water passage hole is located on the sidewall of the inner ring body at an end away from the working surface.
The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that when the cooling water is supplied to the inner diameter cavity passing through the base, or when the cooling water is supplied from the direction of working end face to the direction of the inner diameter cavity and the base is provided with a confluence device, the cooling water within the base is restricted from being divided into two branches, to thereby improve the utilization of cooling water and make the cooling water more evenly distributed on the working surface.
Further, water passage hole is an annular structure, and is provided on the sidewall of the inner ring body in two or more circles.
The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that when the cooling water is supplied by spraying from the direction of the working end face to the direction of the inner diameter cavity and the base is not provided with the confluence device, the utilization of the cooling water can be improved, and the cooling water can be more evenly distributed on the work surface.
Further, the inner and outer ends of the blade are respectively provided with a second arc block and a first arc block, and notches are respectively provided on both sides of the second arc block; after the blades are fixed on the base, the first arc blocks on all the blades are spliced to form the outer ring body, and the second arc blocks on all the blades are spliced to form the inner ring body; and after two adjacent second arc blocks are spliced, the notches on them are butted to form the water passage holes that communicate with the corresponding water passage channels.
Further, the first arc block and the second arc block are integrally formed with the corresponding blades.
Further, the water passage channel is a straight groove structure that is radially consistent with the base.
Further, the water passage channel is an oblique groove structure radially inclined relative to the base.
Further, a connecting plate connected with a spindle of a machine tool is further included, and the connecting plate is fixed on a side of the base away from the blade ring.
The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is to realize the connection with the spindle of the machine tool.
Further, a plurality of grooves is provided on one or both sides of the water passage channel, a position of the working surface corresponding to the groove is prone to rapid wear and forms a circumferential trough, and the trough and the water passage channel are interlaced to form a slot with a mesh structure on the working surface.
The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical scheme is that the groove body with the mesh structure enables the cooling water to be distributed to various positions on the working surface, thereby making it easier for the cooling water to completely cover the working surface and fully implement cooling.
Further, the grooves are arranged on different diameters of the blade ring, a connecting line of the grooves on the same-diameter circumference of the blade ring is in the form of a single arc or multiple arcs that are uniformly disposed, the length of the single arc is at most half a circle of a corresponding circumference, and a cumulative length of the multiple arcs is at most half a circle of a corresponding circumference.
The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are: the grooves on the same-diameter circumference are designed into the shape of waves that do not penetrate the entire circumference, that is, concave and convex parts are formed on the circumference; when the grinding wheel is edging, slight axial and radial vibrations will be generated, which can achieves an effect of impact-type intermittent grinding; and the blockage from powder chips is frequently relaxed, which greatly increases the effects of chip removal and cooling.
Further, thicknesses of the outer ring body and the inner ring body may be set at 3 mm or less or 1 mm or less.
Further, when a linear rotational speed of the base reaches 45 m/s or more, an end of the water passage channel close to an outer side of the blade ring is inclined by an angle θ toward the direction of rotation of the base with respect to an end of the water passage channel close to an inner side of the blade ring, and the higher the linear rotational speed of the base, the greater the value of the angle θ.
The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are that, when the grinding wheel rotates at a high speed to a certain value, it avoids the deficiency that excessive cooling water is quickly thrown out from the end face of the outer ring of the grinding wheel due to the increase of centrifugal force, but the inner ring working surface is short of water for cooling. The water passage channel is arranged in the reverse direction, which achieves the effect of preventing rapid radial leakage of cooling water and forms a “spring” effect, which is conducive to enhancing the cooling effect of cooling water on the working surface.
In the drawings, the arrows indicate the flow direction of the cooling water or the rotation direction of the grinding wheel.
In the drawings, the list of components represented by each number is as follows:
1. Base, 2. Blade, 3. Water passage channel, 4. Outer ring, 5. Inner ring, 6. Water passage hole, 7. First arc block, 8. Second arc block, 9. Notch, 10. Connecting plate, 11. Groove, 12. Trough.
The principles and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples are only used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the scope of the present invention.
As shown in
The cup wheel also includes a flow splitting structure. The flow splitting structure is fixed to the blade ring and divides the cooling water into two branches, in which a first branch delivers the cooling water to the outer area of the working surface through the interior of the water passage channel 3 under the action of the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the base 1, and a second branch delivers the cooling water to the inner area of the working surface through the exterior of the water passage channel 3 (that is, the inner wall of the grinding wheel) under the action of the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the base 1. The cooling water is then delivered from an inner area of the working surface to an outer side area thereof upon being blocked by the machined workpiece. The flow splitting structure includes an outer ring body 4 and an inner ring body 5. The outer ring body 4 is fixed on the outer side of the blade ring, the inner ring body 5 is fixed on the inner side of the blade ring, and a water passage hole 6 that communicates with the water passage channel 3 is provided at a position on the sidewall of the inner ring body 5 corresponding to the water channel 3. As a result, the first branch is formed from the water passage hole 6 to the outer area of the working surface through the water passage channel 3, and the second branch is formed the inner sidewall of the inner ring body 5 to the inner side of the working surface. The thickness of the outer ring body 4 and the inner ring body 5 is set at 3 mm or less, and the optimal thickness is 1 mm or less. The water passage hole 6 is an annular structure, which is provided on the sidewall of the inner ring body 5 in a circle and is positioned on the sidewall of the inner ring body 5 at an end away from the working surface.
During operation, the cooling water entering the blade ring is blocked by the inner ring body 5 under the action of the centrifugal force caused by the high-speed rotation of the cup-shaped grinding wheel, preventing all the cooling water from entering the water passage channel 3. Since the inner ring body 5 is provided with a water passage hole 6, the cooling water inside the blade ring will be divided into two branches.
The flow path of the first branch is as follows: a part of the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3 from the inside of the blade ring through the water passage hole 6, and after the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3, it flows down the inner wall of the outer ring body 4 toward the outer area of the working surface in an axial direction of the blade ring while being blocked by the outer ring body 4, thereby cooling the outer area of the working surface;
The flow path of the second branch is as follows: under the action of the flow restriction by the water passage hole 6, another part of the cooling water flows down the inner wall of the inner ring body 5 toward the inner area of the working surface in an axial direction of the blade ring, to thereby cool the inner area of the working surface, and cool the inner area of the working surface before flowing to the outer area of the working surface.
To sum up, water flows of the two branches cool the inner and outer areas of the working surface respectively, and finally achieve the effect of cooling the working surface in an all-round way, avoiding the existence of areas on the working surface that cannot be cooled by the cooling water, which greatly improves the machining quality.
This embodiment improves the structure of the water passage hole 6 on the basis of the first embodiment, the other parts are consistent with the first embodiment, and the details are described as follows.
As shown in
The flow path of the first branch formed by a circle of water passage holes 6 away from the working surface is as follows: the first part of the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3 from the inside of the blade ring through the circle of water passage holes 6 away from the working surface, and after the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3, it flows down the inner wall of the outer ring body 4 toward the area of the working surface close to the outer side of the blade ring in the axial direction of the blade ring while being blocked by the outer ring body 4, thereby cooling the outer area of the working surface.
The flow path of the first branch formed by a circle of water passage holes 6 close to the working surface is as follows: the second part of the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3 from the interior of the blade ring through a circle of water passage holes 6 close to the working surface, and after the cooling water enters the water passage channel 3, it flows toward the middle area of the working surface in the axial direction of the blade ring under the blocking of the outer ring body 4 and the first part of the cooling water, thereby cooling the middle area of the working surface.
The flow path of the second branch is the same as that of the first embodiment. Finally, the outer area of the working surface, the area in the middle of the working surface and the inner area of the working surface are covered with the corresponding cooling water, which makes the cooling water more evenly distributed on the working surface and further improves the machining quality. In addition, when the cooling water is supplied from a working end face, the utilization of the cooling water can be improved.
In this embodiment, the structures of the outer ring body 4 and the inner ring body 5 are improved on the basis of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and other parts are consistent with the first embodiment or the second embodiment. This embodiment will be described as follows.
As shown in

As shown in
First, the groove 11 has the function of storing cooling water such that more cooling water stays on the working surface to improve the cooling effect.
Second, the groove 11 is designed so that on the circumference of each point of the working surface along the radial direction, the accumulated total circumferential length of the diamond (working material) contained in the working surface is unequal. In other words, the accumulated total circumferential length of the diamond contained in the working surface is shorter at the groove 11. As a result, so the grooves 11 are worn first. As shown in
In addition, the grooves 11 are arranged on different diameters of the blade ring, and the connecting lines of the grooves 11 on the same-diameter circumference of the blade ring are in the form of a single arc or multiple arcs that are uniformly distributed. The length of the single arc is at most half a circle of a corresponding circumference, and the cumulative length of the multiple arcs is at most half a circle of a corresponding circumference. As shown in
In this embodiment, the processing technology of the grinding wheel whose water passage channel 3 is an inclined groove structure is improved on the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment, and other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment. The details are given as follows.
When the rotational speed of the base 1 reaches 45 m/s or more, the end of the water passage channel 3 close to the outside of the blade ring is inclined by an angle θ toward the direction of rotation of the base with respect to an end of the water passage channel 3 close to inside of the blade ring, and the higher the linear rotational speed of the base 1, the greater the value of the angle θ.
For the grinding wheel with oblique groove structure, as shown in
