Background
The machine tool is a master for manufacturing various high-precision and high-efficiency machines, and is a key component along with the development of various high-grade motion machines (including IC equipment, feeding mechanisms of precise instruments, and the like) and high-grade numerical control machine tools towards high speed, high precision and high reliability.
With the development of new energy markets, the types of threaded parts such as automobile steering gears and brake screw rods and internal threaded parts such as nuts and modules are more and more, and the processes needing to be processed are more and more. The raceway of the screw rod needs to be subjected to heat treatment after rough machining, and a large allowance is reserved for the raceway during rough machining in order to prevent insufficient finishing allowance caused by heat treatment deformation. Most of external thread grinding machines existing in the market at present are single thread grinding main shafts for grinding threads of external thread parts, and related parameters and grinding parameters of grinding wheels required by rough grinding and fine grinding of the threads are different, so that the external thread grinding machine of a single grinding head has a certain compromise between rough grinding and fine grinding during grinding. Therefore, the development of an external thread processing machine tool with separate numerical control rough grinding and fine grinding is a desired urgent market demand.
Most of the existing machine tools on the market are single-function, the turning of the thread is carried out on the lathe for turning the thread, the thread grinding can only be carried out on a thread grinding machine, the same part is repeatedly assembled and disassembled, so that the coaxiality of the spiral line axis and the excircle axis of the thread is difficult to ensure, and the perpendicularity of the spiral line axis and the end face of the thread is also difficult to ensure.
The parts with deeper depths of the partial thread raceways are solely ground by the grinding wheel, so that the grinding efficiency is lower and the grinding wheel loss is larger. In order to solve the problem, most of the current market is to roughen the thread raceways before heat treatment, leave some margin, and grind the thread raceways with little margin after heat treatment. The method has the problems that the allowance of rough machining is larger due to heat treatment deformation, and the grinding total amount of the grinding wheel is larger during finish machining; in addition, since the same feature (thread) of the same part needs to be assembled and disassembled repeatedly (not less than twice), and the next clamping needs to perform tool setting on the feature (thread) machined in the previous process, the tool setting device or the tool complexity is increased for the machine tool.
