2 Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail view showing the master cam and its associated parts for oper- 4 tion and mode of operation thereof, I desire to lli have it understood that the invention is not limited to the details o! construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings since the invention is capable oi' other embodiments, and that the phraseology employed is for the purpose oi description and not of limitation;
The present machine comprises in general a base or frame 2 of any suitable size and shape housing the Variousmarts of thehydraulic or fluid operating mechanism. Upon this 'base is mounted a shiftable or reciprocal table having secured thereto in any suitable manner a work holding head t and supported on the frame 2 at one end thereof is a rotatable tool holding member l5 suitably carried for reciprocal movement transversely of the table i.
For a-better understanding of the machine, the operation and structure of the various parts will be described separately.
The driving and controlling means for the table 3 in the present instance is hydraulically controlled by means of a double-acting hydraulic pump A. This pump receives fluid from a reservoir 6 by means'of the suction line Y and is suitably driven from a 'motor 'l connected tothe pump by a belt 8 and pulley wheel `9. y
This double pump is provided with a high pressure low volume line R. leading from the high f pressure side of the pump running through a tiow control valve P to a four-way pilot valve B and then to either end of a cylinder I0 attached to the under side of the table 3. The course oi.' the fluid at each end of the cylinder is indicated by arrows and it will thus be seen that the passage to either end of the cylinder i0 will cause the cylinder'housing il to be shifted either to the right or left and with it the table 3 and work holding head ii will be reciprocated at any desirled stroke or speed controlled by the flow control va ve P.
A spring pressed lever i2 is provided at the front of the base of the machine and when this 3 lever is pressed in, (see Fig. 6) the machine is started and when it is pulled out the machine is stbDDed.\ When in its engaged` position (inward) the lever I2 is adapted to be engaged by adjustable dogs or lugs 'I3 suitablyfastened to the `side of the slide 3 and contact with these dogs i 3 will cause the lever I2 to be rocked sideways to the left and right. The opposite end of the lever I2 is connected by means of linkage Il to a pilot valve E which is connected through the line S to the low pressure high volume side of the pump A and to the four-way'pilot valve B to control the direction of movement of the table 3 and head I. On certain classes of work, the stroke or reciprocating movement of the table has to be very short and this machine permits this stroke to be as short as 135" and shock to the valve which would ordinarily result from such a short stroke when reciprocating at high speed is prevented by means of the spring E. l The work holding head 4 carried by this reciprocatlng table 3 is provided with a rotatable -spindle I5 having at one end 4thereof a chuck or 4. To eliminate any backlash of the gears, in
view of the train of gears required, a spring tension brake 22 (see Figs. l, 3 and 7) is provided on the end of the spindle and this brake prevents any backlash or lost motion.
In the particular structure illustrated, the machine is designed to grind four cam surfaces on the inner periphery of a work piece and the gearing I3, I9, 29 and 2| ls so constructed and proportioned that* the spindle I5 will be rotated at the proper speed for the grinding of four cam surfaces. However, should it be desired to grind a greater or lesser number of cam surfaces, provision has been made to vary the speed of rotation of the spindle 5 as may be deemed necessary.
Intermediate the gear train I9, a swinging arm 23 is provided and by merely changing the position of this arm and substituting the proper gear, the
' speed of the spindle I5 may be changed. The
ratio of speed of this spindle to the speed of the master cam hereinafter to be described must Aat all times be relative.
Since the cams have to be ground in variousl shapes, length of grooves, taper or straight, an adjustable work holding head has been provided so that this head may be set at any desired horizontal angle relative to the grinding tool. For that reason, the bevel gear box 25 and bevel gear drive 29, 2i is built in such manner that the work vholding head d may be rotated at any angle relative to the tool for `diiferent'classes of work without affecting the drive 'of the work spindle I5. It will be noted that the swinging or rotating of the housing 4 on the table 3 will cause the gear 2i to rotate around its meshing bevel gear of the train 20.
Located at one end of the machine is the 'grinder unit 5 having a rotatable spindle 25 car- A and may be directly connected thereto or connected by means of a belt 29, as illustrated.
This grinder unit 5 ls mounted on across sliding table 29 adapted to reciprocate transversely of the table 3. A suitable manually operated wheel 30 provided with a section 3| having graduations thereon is fixed to a shaft 32 which is in turn connected by means of gearing 33 to a may -be obtained by the proper selection lof' gearing.
Mounted on the opposite end of this cam shaft is the master cam 36 and this cam engages a roller 31 of a roller holding latch or lever 33 pivotally connected or fastened by means of a stud 39 to the frame of the machine in such manner that the pivot peint will always bear the same fixed relation to the cam shaft 35.
The transverse slide or table 29 is provided with a vertically positioned T-slot 90 for the reception of a block 4I contacting the lever 38 and this block may be moved up or down in such manner that its position, together with the movement of the pivoted lever 38 by the cam 36, will limit or control the reciprocating stroke of the table 29.
The complete operation of the machine and the relationship of the various parts will now be described.
A work piece, as i 1, to be ground with four cam surfaces is inserted in the chuck or holding means I6 and the tool carrier 5 is provided with the necessary grinding tool and properly positioned by the manually operative Wheel 30.
Thereupon the motor 21 is started to start the grinding tool rotating at a very high speed. The hydraulic mechanism is then started to cause fluid to be supplied to reciprocate the work table 3 and the lever I2 is pressed into engagement to control operation of the pilot valve E to control the direction of flow of the fluid so that the table will be shifted back and forth.'
During these operations, the motor F is started Ibv means of the hand controlled valve D to effect rotation of the gear trains i3 et seq. and thereby the work spindle I5 and also the cam shaft 35 and cam 36. The gearing illustrated is such that the cam 86 will be rotated at four times the speed of the work spindle I5 so that the tool may grind the four desired cam surfaces by reciprocating the transverse tool table or slide 29 four times to each rotation of the work and during the entire operation of the machine, the` work table 3 is reciprocated back and forth at a very high rate of speed to insure an even grinding of the cam surfaces.
From the foregoing it will be understood that while I have described the reciprocation of the work table in one direction with the tool slide reciprocating transversely thereto, 'these movements may be reversed if desired or one table may have a'dual reciprocation while the other. remained in a fixed position.
It is to be understood that by describing in detall herein any particular form, structure or y it may be made, or all or the modes oi its use, I claim:
