BLOCK-TYPE STRUCTURED DIAMOND GRINDING WHEEL WITH ADAPTIVE SUPPLY OF INSTANTANEOUS COOLING

Abstract

A Block-Type structured diamond grinding wheel with adaptive supply of instantaneous Cooling, includes a grinding wheel substrate and several grinding wheel units, each including an execution mechanism, a push mechanism, and an instantaneous Cooling mechanism. Various structured patterns are provided on an upper surface of the grinding unit in the execution mechanism, and a heat sink is disposed at a lower surface. During operation, a tangential grinding force generated by the grinding unit and a workpiece presses a sprayer to spray nano fluid into an operating region, to implement instantaneous Cooling of grinding wheel. When wear occurs in a grinding unit of a grinding wheel, a corresponding grinding unit may be replaced to extend the service life of the grinding wheel, and production costs are reduced. A special surface structure of the grinding unit further enhances a cooling effect, thereby improving a surface quality of a workpiece.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0033] To enable a person skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] FIG. 1 is a front view of a Block-Type structured diamond grinding wheel with adaptive supply of instantaneous Cooling according to the present invention, mainly including a grinding wheel substrate 1, an execution mechanism 2, a push mechanism 3, and an instantaneous Cooling mechanism 4.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of grooves 1.1 are arranged outer circumferential surface of the grinding wheel substrate 1. The grooves 1.1 form an annular array structure with the middle/center of the grinding wheel substrate 1 as a center. An assembly hole is opened at the center of the grinding wheel substrate 1.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 4, the execution mechanism 2 includes a grinding unit 2.1, a heat sink 2.4, a push rod 2.3, and a connecting rod 2.6. The grinding unit 2.1 has an umbrella-shaped structure. A width of the grinding unit 2.1 is consistent with the width of the grinding wheel. An upper surface of the grinding unit is coated with a layer of a diamond abrasive, and is ablated by using a laser process technique to form various structured patterns. A lower surface of the grinding unit is connected to the heat sink 2.4 by a bolt 2.7. A connecting hole is opened in an upper portion of a “handle” structure of the grinding unit 2.1, and is connected to the grinding wheel substrate 1 by a hinge bolt 2.5. A material of the heat sink 2.4 is aluminum alloy, and the heat sink adopts a sheet structure, which can accelerate heat dissipation during the operation of the grinding wheel. A first end of the push rod 2.3 is hinged to a bottom of the grinding unit 2.1, and a second end of the push rod 2.3 is hinged to a first end of the connecting rod 2.6 by a hinge 2.2. A second end of the connecting rod 2.6 is hinged to a main shaft 3.5 of the push mechanism 3 by another hinge 2.2. A connecting hole is arranged in middle portion of the connecting rod 2.6, and a hinge bolt 2.5 passes through the connecting hole and connects the connecting rod to the grinding wheel substrate 1.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 5, the push mechanism 3 includes an outer frame body 3.4, the main shaft 3.5, a spring 3.6, a piston 3.3, and a nut 3.2. The outer frame body 3.4 is securely connected to the grinding wheel substrate 1 by bolts 3.1. A hole is opened at an end of the outer frame body. A left end of the main shaft 3.5 passes through the outer frame body 3.4, and a plurality of springs 3.6 are disposed between the left end and the outer frame body 3.4. The piston 3.3 is fastened on the main shaft 3.5 by the nut 3.2. The spring 3.6 is placed between the outer frame body 3.4 and the piston 3.3. A quantity of the springs 3.6 can be increased or reduced according to a different material of a workpiece to be processed, to set different tangential grinding force thresholds. When the material of the workpiece is difficult to process, the quantity of the springs 3.6 is increased, and the threshold is increased. When the material of the workpiece is easy to process, the quantity of the springs 3.6 is reduced, and the threshold is reduced.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 6, the instantaneous Cooling mechanism 4 includes a sprayer 4.1 and an annular fastener 4.2. The annular fastener 4.2 is connected to the grinding wheel substrate 1 by one or more bolts. The fastener clamps the sprayer 4.1, to implement fastening of sprayer for pressed spraying. The sprayer 4.1 includes nano fluid therein. The sprayer 4.1 is made of a silicone material. An upper half part of the sprayer is conical, and a lower half part of the sprayer is cylindrical. A small conical hole is opened at a top of the spray, so that a discharge amount of the nano fluid can be controlled. Nanoparticles contained in the nano fluid are molybdenum disulfide. When the nano fluid inside the sprayer 4.1 is insufficient, a syringe is used for replenishment.

[0039] Due to the structural characteristic, the grinding wheel is arranged to rotate only clockwise. When the grinding wheel operates, the grinding unit 2.1 in the execution mechanism 2 performs grinding processing on a workpiece, and generates a tangential grinding force. Because the springs have a large coefficient of elasticity, when the grinding wheel operates normally, the tangential grinding force is small, and the springs would not be compressed. When the tangential grinding force is suddenly increased due to complex working conditions and reaches a threshold, the grinding unit 2.1 slows down and rotates counterclockwise as compared to the whole diamond grinding wheel to drive the push rod 2.3 and the connecting rod 2.6, to push the main shaft 3.5. The piston 3.3 compresses the spring 3.6, to press the sprayer 4.1 to spray the nano fluid. Instantaneous Cooling of a grinding region of the grinding wheel is implemented based on conveyance of an external coolant, so that the tangential grinding force is reduced, and wear of the grinding wheel is reduced. When the tangential grinding force is reduced below the threshold or the grinding unit 2.1 no longer operates, the main shaft 3.5 moves to the right and is restored, and the sprayer 4.1 stops spraying the nano fluid.
