The present invention relates to a drilling tool, and in particular, to a tool-cooling mechanism.
Among grinding tools, a trepanning drill, a cup/disc grinding wheel, an annular grinding disc, and the like are all common rotary grinding tools or cutters that perform grinding/cutting by an end surface. The trepanning drill, also known as a material drawing drill, is a special cutter or grinding tool that works on solid materials in a ring-cutting fashion, and may draw reusable barstock in a workpiece needing to be machined. The cup/disc grinding wheel is a binding grinding tool that solidifies and binds, via a binding agent, a grinding material into an annular working ring linked to a substrate, and has certain strength. The annular grinding disc is analogous to the cup/disc grinding wheel with a great ring width.
The aforesaid grinding tools shall be cooled during the working process. In a case where equipment adopting the grinding tool does not have an internal cooling supply structure, the prior art generally provides various types of water passing holes on a substrate of the grinding tool, such that water is pressed to enter an inner cavity of the grinding tool via the water passing holes and thus flows through cutting edges of the grinding tool to cool a grinding surface.
The grinding tool may further include grinding tools of a cup-wheel type, the working surface of which is an annular end surface working ring. During the working process, the workpiece may cover the whole port of the grinding wheel, or cover part of the port of the grinding wheel in different directions, which may make it difficult to apply the cooling water to the inner cavity of the grinding wheel from the port of the grinding wheel. Under this case, a simple way is to apply the water at the cutout in the outer diameter of the grinding wheel to form an external cooling mode. However, due to a centrifugal force, it is difficult for the cooling water to act from the outer diameter to the inner diameter, which restricts the cooling effect and causes a poor cooling effect especially at the portion of the grinding wheel against the inner diameter. During the processing at a high rotating speed, an “airflow barrier” may be formed on inner and outer sides and the end surface of the grinding wheel, which may greatly affect the external cooling effect. In order to improve this situation, the following technical solutions are adopted currently.
The first fashion in the prior art is to provide a cup grinding wheel 22 as shown in
The second fashion in the prior art is to provide a cup grinding wheel 23 as shown in
In summary, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a tool-cooling mechanism when grinding equipment does not have an internal cooling supply structure.
The technical solution for solving the aforesaid technical problem is to provide a tool-cooling mechanism, which includes a grinding tool. The grinding tool is internally provided with a converging disc, and the converging disc rotates with the grinding tool to draw external cooling water into the grinding tool for convergence, and then radially conveys the cooling water as converged toward an inner wall of the grinding tool, such that the cooling water can flow to a grinding surface along the inner wall of the grinding tool.
The present invention has following beneficial effects. The cooling water can enter through a water inlet and cool the grinding surface smoothly even when the grinding tool is rotating at a high speed, such that the cooling water can be prevented from passing through the grinding tool axially and failing to cool the grinding surface. In addition, the grinding surface is cooled after the cooling water as dispersed and atomized by the rotation of the grinding tool is converged, such that the cooling can be achieved during an entire process even when the grinding tool is rotating at the high speed.
The following improvements may further be made on the present invention based on the aforesaid technical solution.

The principles and features of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and examples given are intended to explain the present invention only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
A grinding tool 1 in this embodiment is a trepanning drill.
As shown in
As shown in
The blades 4 are distributed on the converging disc 3 in such a fashion that the blades 4 are distributed around an outer periphery of the top of the converging disc 3. In correspondence to the fashion above in which the blades 4 are distributed, fastening screws 6 that correspond to the blades 4 one by one are adopted to fix the converging disc 3 and the blades 4 in the trepanning drill 1. That is, the fastening screws 6 sequentially pass from top to bottom through a sidewall of the top of the trepanning drill 1 corresponding to an outer periphery of the water inlet 2, the corresponding blades 4, and the converging disc 3. Thus, the blades 4, in addition to having the function of drawing water, further serve as a connector to fix the converging disc 3 to the grinding tool.
An outer peripheral edge of the converging disc 3 extends outwardly to a position proximate to the inner wall of the trepanning drill 1, such that a guiding gap 7 is formed between the converging disc 3 and the inner wall of the trepanning drill 1 to restrict the cooling water from flowing downward along the inner wall of the trepanning drill 1. After being drawn into the trepanning drill 1, entering the inner cavity of the grinding tool and being converged to the converging disc 3, the cooling water is pushed by the blades 4, the centrifugal force and other effects and driven to move toward the outer circumference of the converging disc 3 (i.e., the inner wall of the grinding tool 1), such that the cooling water is hardly thrown out of the trepanning drill 1 via the water inlet 2. Under the action of the guiding gap 7, the cooling water moving to the inner wall of the grinding tool flows downward along the inner wall and is finally thrown out via the grinding surface at the bottom of the trepanning drill 1 under the action of the pressure, gravity and centrifugal force. Thus, the cooling effect of the internal cooling fashion is achieved, the contact area between the cooling water and the trepanning drill 1 is increased, and the utilization rate of the cooling water is increased.
The converging disc 3 is provided coaxially with the water inlet 2, the converging disc 3 has a greater radial dimension than that of the water inlet 2, and a water storing area 5 for storing the cooling water temporarily is formed between the converging disc 3 and the sidewall of the top of the trepanning drill 1 corresponding to the outer periphery of the water inlet 2. The cooling water as drawn by the blades 4 may be firstly stored temporarily in the water storing area 5 that provides a temporary storing cavity for the cooling water. Thus, the intake cooling water may be prevented from flowing backwards via the water inlet 2 with the rotation of the trepanning drill 1 due to the incapability of being stored, which facilitates converging of the water in an atomized state and finally increases the water intake.
As shown in
The cooling mechanism of the present invention will be described below in detail. The grinding tool 1 in this embodiment is a cup grinding wheel.
As shown in
It should be understood that the outer edge of the first disc body 301 is more proximate to the bottom surface of the cup grinding wheel than the inner edge, as shown in
It should be understood that the gap between the outer edge of the first disc body and the substrate of the cup grinding wheel forms a converging channel, also called a converging action area that includes flowing water and water droplets. When the flowing water and water droplets pass through the converging action area and reach the converging channel, a large number of water droplets are gathered into a water current, and the water current becomes a water stream (beam current) under the action of a centrifugal force, the water stream herein referring to water flowing along the inner wall.
During the high-speed rotation of the cup grinding wheel, the converging disc 3 and the several blades 4 enable the cooling water beam as supplied to quickly stick to the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel, and pressurize and accelerate the cooling water inside the cup grinding wheel, thereby helping the cooling water beam to pass through the “airflow barrier” area via the “weak area of the airflow barrier”, and reducing the splashing of the cooling water beam as caused by hitting the inner wall. The airflow stopping collar 11 reduces the influence of the airflow on the cooling water in the airflow isolating channel, prevents the cooling water from being dispersed or losing the cooling effect, and greatly increases the amount of cooling water entering the grinding surface of the cup grinding wheel, such that the comprehensive cooling can be ensured during the machining process.
As shown in
The blades 4 are provided on the converging disc body, and when the cup grinding wheel rotates, the blades 4 change the direction of the cooling water and push the cooling water to the inner wall of the grinding wheel via the water inlet hole 10, such that the cooling water pushed to the inner wall may be effectively acted on by the centrifugal force. Then, the cooling water affixed to the inner wall cools the grinding surface along the inner wall or via the water slot, such that the water is supplied in a direction from the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the cup grinding wheel, and the comprehensive cooling of the grinding surface is ensured.
As shown in
In another case, as shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
Specifically, the airflow stopping collar 11 may be provided parallel to the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel, or may be inclined.
As shown in
As shown in
The connecting disc 12 is capable of strengthening the connection between the cup grinding wheel and the converging disc 3 and preventing disconnection.
Furthermore, a main spindle screw 13 is further included. The main spindle screw 13 sequentially passes through the connecting hole of the connecting disc 12 and the equipment hole 9 of the grinding tool 1 and is threaded to a main spindle 14 of the external equipment.
Specifically, as shown in
It should be understood that no notch is provided on the blades 4 when the washer is adopted, and the blades 4 are abutted against the bottom surface of the cup grinding wheel, such that the connecting disc 12 and the cup grinding wheel can be connected quickly and securely to the main spindle 14 of the external equipment.
A blade connecting bolt 15 is further included. The first disc body 301 is provided with a blade screw hole 16 at a position corresponding to the blade 4, the grinding tool 1 has a screw slot at a position corresponding to the blade screw hole 16, and an internal thread is provided in the screw slot. The blade connecting bolt 15 passes through the blade screw hole 16 and is threaded into the screw slot to connect the grinding tool 1 and converging disc 3 as one.
Specifically, when no connecting disc 12 is provided, the connection fashion is as follows. The blades 4 are abutted against the bottom surface of the cup grinding wheel, and the first disc body 301 is provided with a screw hole at a position corresponding to the blade 4. The cup grinding wheel has a screw slot at a position corresponding to the blade screw hole, and an internal thread is provided in the screw slot. The blade connecting bolt 15 passes through the blade screw hole and is threaded into the screw slot to connect the cup grinding wheel and the converging disc as one. There may be a plurality of blade connecting bolts 15 which are distributed around the several blades 4.
It can be seen that in this embodiment, the blades 4 are not only members pushing the cooling water, but also members connecting the cup grinding wheel (substrate).
Specifically, while the converging disc 3 is provided, the cooling structure further includes a connecting disc connecting bolt and the connection fashion is as follows. The converging disc 3 is provided with a screw hole, and the blade 4 is provided with a screw slot. The connecting disc connecting bolt passes through the screw hole of the connecting disc 3 and is threaded into the screw slot, thereby connecting the connecting disc 3 and the blades 4 as one. There may be a plurality of converging disc connecting bolts which are distributed around the several blades 4.
Specifically, the blade 4 with the screw slot is thicker than the blade 4 without the screw slot to prevent the blade 4 with the screw slot from breaking.
In addition, it is possible to prevent the members from detaching from each other when the grinding wheel is rotating at a high speed.
As shown in
The cooling water can be strongly pushed. The blades 4 of the converging disc 3 are in the stellate shape or the vortex shape, and push the cooling water strongly to the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel at a place where the airflow barrier is weakest, and enable the cooling water to affix to the inner wall, thereby applying the cooling water to the grinding surface along the inner wall or via the water passing slot by making the most of the centrifugal force (minimizing the influence of airflow).
The influence of the airflow barrier can be reduced. In the conventional water supplying mode, the place where the cooling water is disposed has the strongest airflow barrier, which is the most influential drawback and causes the cooling water to be less effective. The converging disc 3 however can overcome the drawback by feeding the cooling water from the weak area of the airflow barrier (shown as A in
The utilization rate of the cooling water can be increased. The cooling water in the traditional cup grinding wheel is sprayed, and the cooling water has a higher possibility of being atomized. However, the gap between the converging disc 3 and the cup grinding wheel forms a converging channel, which changes the flow path of the cooling water and allows the cooling water to be in a stream flowing state, thereby reducing the possibility of being atomized and improving the utilization rate of the cooling water.
The grinding tool may further include grinding tools of a cup-wheel type, the working surface of which is the annular end surface working ring. During the working process, a workpiece may cover the whole port of the grinding wheel, or cover part of the port of the grinding wheel in different directions, which may make it difficult to apply the cooling water to the inner cavity of the grinding wheel from the port of the grinding wheel. Under this case, a simple way is to apply the water at the cutout in the outer diameter of the grinding wheel to form an external cooling mode. However, due to the centrifugal force, it is difficult for the cooling water to act from the outer diameter to the inner diameter, which restricts the cooling effect and causes a poor cooling effect especially at the portion of the grinding wheel against the inner diameter. During the processing at a high rotating speed, an “airflow barrier” may be formed on inner and outer sides and the end surface of the grinding wheel, which may greatly affect the external cooling effect. In order to improve this situation, following technical solutions are adopted currently.
The first fashion in the prior art is to provide a cup grinding wheel 22 as shown in
The second fashion in the prior art is to provide a cup grinding wheel 23 as shown in
The cooling mechanism of the present invention will be described below in detail. The grinding tool 1 in this embodiment is a cup grinding wheel.
As shown in
The converging disc 3 is provided in the open area of the grinding tool 1, and includes a connecting post 18 and a second disc body 302 which are coaxial with the connecting block 17. The connecting post 18 is formed as a hollow cylinder with an open lower end, and has an upper end removably connected to a bottom surface of the connecting block 17. The second disc body 302 encircles an outer periphery of the connecting post 18; an inner edge of the second disc body 302 is integrally formed with an outer wall of a bottom end of the connecting post 18; and an outer edge of the second disc body 302 extends to the sidewall of the grinding tool 1 to form an annular surface structure. A gap allowing the cooling water to pass through is arranged between the outer edge of the second disc body 302 and the sidewall and the bottom surface of the grinding tool 1.
When the cup grinding wheel rotates at a high speed, the several impellers 30 generate a pushing force and draw the injected cooling water into the cavity of the cup grinding wheel. The converging disc 3 prevents the cooling water from traversing directly from the bottom, and the flow path of the cooling water entering the inner cavity is changed under the action of the converging disc 3. Most of the water flow is forced to flow through the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel, and then performs cooling under the action of the centrifugal force along the grinding surface (or water slot) of the cup grinding wheel from the inner diameter to the outer diameter. Thus, the utilization rate of the cooling water is increased and the cooling effect is greatly improved. In addition, the chip removal can be facilitated, and a large amount of cooling water beam may pass through the “airflow barrier” area via the “weak area of the airflow barrier”, which effectively weakens the negative effect of the “airflow barrier”, realizes the changing from the external cooling mode to the internal cooling mode, and achieves the cooling of the whole grinding surface during the entire process.
As shown in
The second disc body 302 prevents the cooling water from traversing directly from the bottom and changes the path of the cooling water, which forces a large amount of cooling water to flow through the inner wall of the grinding wheel, and thus increases the utilization rate of the cooling water.
As shown in
The second disc body 302 in the form of the annular inclined surface can reduce the splashing of the cooling water beam as caused by hitting the inner wall and greatly increase the amount of cooling water entering the grinding surface of the cup grinding wheel.
As shown in
The airflow stopping ring 20 reduces the influence of the airflow on the cooling water in the airflow isolating channel, which prevents the cooling water from being dispersed or losing the cooling effect, and thus ensures a comprehensive cooling during the machining process.
Specifically, the airflow stopping ring 20 is parallel to the sidewall of the grinding tool 1 and extends from the sidewall towards the bottom surface.
Specifically, the airflow stopping ring 20 is inclined from top to bottom in a direction approaching the sidewall of the grinding tool 1.
Specifically, the airflow stopping ring 20 may be provided parallel to the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel, or may be inclined.
The inclined airflow stopping ring 20 may isolate the “airflow isolating channel (shown as B in
The following beneficial effects are achieved by providing second disc body 302 and the airflow stopping ring 20.
The influence of the airflow barrier can be reduced. In the conventional water supplying mode, the place where the cooling water is disposed has the strongest airflow barrier, which is the most influential drawback and causes the cooling water to be less effective. The converging disc 3 however can overcome the drawback by feeding the cooling water from the weak area of the airflow barrier (shown as A in
The utilization rate of the cooling water can be increased. The cooling water in the traditional cup grinding wheel is sprayed, and the cooling water has a higher possibility of being atomized. However, the gap between the converging disc 3 and the cup grinding wheel forms a converging channel, which changes the flow path of the cooling water and allows the cooling water to be a stream flowing state, thereby reducing the possibility of being atomized and improving the utilization rate of the cooling water.
As shown in
The main spindle connecting bolt 21 enables the converging disc 3 and the cup grinding wheel to be mounted together on the external equipment.
As shown in
After testing, the utilization rate of the cooling water as drawn by a single blade 4 is only 27%, and can reach more than 90% under the combined action of several blades 4 and the second disc body 302 of the converging disc 3.
The role of the impellers 30 in Embodiment 3 is primarily to generate the pushing force to draw the injected cooling water into the cavity of the cup grinding wheel.
The role of the plurality of blades 4 in Embodiment 3 is primarily to generate a radial pushing force to push the cooling water to the outer wall of the cup grinding wheel.
The overall advantages of the cooling structure in Embodiment 3 are as follows.
1. The cooling structure can fit various rotation speeds and increase the entering ratio of the cooling water into the inner cavity of the grinding wheel with an increase in the rotation speed, thereby greatly increasing the utilization rate of the cooling water.
2. The cooling structure can change the external cooling mode to the internal cooling mode, thereby cooling the whole grinding surface during the entire process.
3. The cooling structure can effectively weaken the negative effect of the “airflow barrier”.
4. The inclined converging disc forms an annular inclined surface structure, and under the combined action of the centrifugal force and pushing force from the blades and impellers, the cooling water is converged into a stream and accelerated to break the “airflow barrier”, thereby greatly increasing the effective rate of the cooling water.
5. The cooling structure can help to remove chips.
6. Since the cooling water entering the inner cavity is mostly forced to flow against the inner wall of the cup grinding wheel, the cooling water can perform cooling under the action of the centrifugal force along the water slot or grinding surface from the inner diameter to the outer diameter. Thus, the cooling effect is greatly improved.
7. The cooling structure is simple and easy to achieve.
Specifically, the grinding tool 1 may also be a trepanning drill, a disc grinding wheel or an annular grinding disc.
The cooling mechanism according to the present invention may further be applied to the following cup grinding wheel capable of splitting the cooling water into two branches.
As shown in
As shown in
The first branch has a following flow path. A part of cooling water enters the water passing slot 26 from the inner side of the tooth ring through the water passing hole 29. The cooling water that enters the water passing slot 26 flows against the inner wall of the outer ring body 27 along the axial direction of the tooth ring and moves towards the outer side area of the grinding surface under the blocking of the outer ring body 27, and then cools the outer side area of the grinding surface.
The second branch has a following flow path. Another part of cooling water flows against the inner wall of the inner ring body 28 along the axial direction of the tooth ring and moves toward the inner side area of the grinding surface under the flow restricting effect of the water passing hole 29, then cools the inner side area of the grinding surface and flows toward the outer side area of the grinding surface after cooling the inner side area of the working surface.
The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
