Definitions

  • a third disadvantage of the known apparatus consists in thefact that owing to derivation of the oscillatorymotion of the tool in the copying process from the crank pin being ground an initially oval pin: admittedly acquires a round form by corresponding arrangement of the copying device, but the position of its-centre after completion of the grinding operation depends solely on the form of the pin prior to the initial treatment and cannot be variedby adjustment of the machine. Rectificationofthe centre of a pin which was incorrect prior to the grinding is accordingly impossible.
  • The-known apparatus does, therefore, not satisfytherequirements of series production either as regards the circumferential velocity, and accordingly the output, or as regards accuracy, and is, therefore, employed solelyas a machine for carrying out repair Work.
  • a machine for grinding the main bearing pins and crank pins of crankshafts comprises at least one grinding wheel, a support for said grinding wheel, means for rotating acrankshaft to be ground, during the grinding thereof, about the longitudinal axes of the main bearing pins of said crankshaft, and means for impartingto the axis of said grinding wheel a; movement congruent to that of a crank pin or main bearing pin to be ground when the respective crankshaft is mounted in the machine to rotate about the said longitudinal axes.
  • the arrangement according to the invention also results in a number of important advantages as compared with grinding machines having a stationary grinding-wheel centre point, which was the only grinding machine employed heretofore for the series production of crankshafts. Owing to the central location of the piece of work in the machine the device hithertounavoidable for the purpose of positioning thecan be employed. Further, the double-ended actuation of the piece of work heretofore necessary in the case of eccentric location in the machine in order to avoid deformation due to the driving movement may be dispensed with, whereby the design of the grinding machine is simplified and its total weight is reduced.
  • the main advantage of the apparatus according to the invention is, however, the possibility of working on a plurality of or all bearing points of a crankshaft, whether main bearings or crank pins simultaneously in one operation.
  • the machine is furnished with two' bed plates disposed on the same level and movable selectively into the operative position, it is possible during the grinding of a piece of work the check up in the clamping position on a second for working on the crank pins of a crankshaft 3 having four throws to less than one quarter as compared with the known machines.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the principle of operation of a machine according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram of control in respect of the movement of the grinding wheels.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate in side view and partial longitudinal section respectively a modified embodiment of the drive and the mounting of the grinding wheel.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show in longitudinal section and side view respectively the method of compensating the eccentrically rotating weight of the grinding wheel.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 and 9- show in front elevation, plan and side elevation respectively a grinding machine of the single-spindle type
  • Figs. 10, 11 and 12 are similar views, showing a four-spindle arrangement for grinding the crank pins of a four-throw crankshaft.
  • crankshaft to be ground is rotated at even circumferential velocity about its central axis I in the direction of the arrow.
  • the crank webs are designated 2
  • crank pin to be worked upon by the grinding wheel 4 is designated 3.
  • the grinding wheel spindle 5 is driven by way of a belt by a motor not shown in Fig. 1. It is eccentrically mounted, with an eccentricity er, in an eccentric sleeve 6, which in turn is mounted, with an eccentricity ea in the drum 1, which is rotatably mounted in the grinding wheel support.
  • the total eccentricity e of the grinding wheel spindle is accordingly the geometric total of the part-eccentricities er and e2. If these are made to be exactly the same (81 62), the total eccentricity 6 can be varied without a break from e1e2:0 to e1+ez:2e1 by rotation of the eccentric sleeve 6 in the drum 1.
  • the total eccentricity is so adjusted in a manner to be described later that it is equal to the eccentricity of the crank pin to be ground.
  • the drum 1 runs synchronously and in equal phase with the crank pin to be ground, which is accordingly acted upon with the adjusted eccentricity and phase'position.
  • the diameter of the treatment is determined by adjusting the grinding wheel support in a line connecting the centre of the drum l with that of the workpiece I.
  • Fig. 2 shows the drive for the control movement of the grinding wheel.
  • the references I to l and also e1, e2 and e correspond to Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 2 furthermore shows the motor, mounted in the grinding wheel support, for the control movement, which motor is coupled electrically or mechanically with the exactly synchronously running drive for the piece of work. It drives the drum 1, rotatably mounted in the support l3, by way of a pinion 9 and spur wheel [0.
  • the same figure shows the arrangement for unbroken adjustment of the eccentricity of the grinding spindle. This adjustment takes place by relative rotation of the eccentric sleeve 6 and the drum 7, which during the grinding operation are locked in relation to one another.
  • the eccentric sleeve 6 and the drum 1 are coupled together by a planetwheel gear l5, l1, l8 and I9. If the wheel [6 of the planet gear having the inner teeth is blocked by means of the locking pin [2 and the externally disposed latching device, 1. e.
  • the blocking device not shown, between the eccentric sleeve 6 and the drum 1 is made to engage, and the latching pin [2 is released.
  • the hand wheel l4 whilst the control drive 8 and 9 is still disconnected the drum I can now be rotated in relation to the piece of work, whilst the eccentricity remains the same, and the phase position adjusted.
  • the hand drive [4 and I5 is disconnected by means of a clutch, which operates without play, and the control motor drive 8 and 5 is connected, the apparatus then being ready for operation.
  • operation of the work and of the drum 1 may be effected mechanically by the provision of a bevel gear wheel 50 on the main drive shaft 5
  • Gear wheel 50 meshes with a bevel gear wheel 52 at the end of a splined shaft 53.
  • the latter extends axially slidably into a corresponding female end portion of a shaft 54 on whose far end a bevel gear wheel 55 is fixed.
  • the latter meshes with a bevel gear wheel 56 on the drive shaft for the work, i. e. the crank shaft I, 2, 3.
  • the transmission ratio between wheel 59 and wheel 56 is 1:1.
  • the telescope connection between shafts 53 and 54 permits the use of the device for working crankshafts of different shaft diameters.
  • the grinding wheel support I3 is displaceable from and toward the work piece in the conventional manner.
  • Mechanism 50 to 56 is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 because the mechanism may be disposed in a plane in front or in the rear of the plane of Fig. 2..
  • Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the grinding wheel spindle mounting, showing the grinding wheel spindle 5, the eccentric sleeve 6 and the drum 1, together with the bearings Zll and 2
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the grinding wheel drive, the references I to l agreeing with the preceding figures.
  • the driving motor 22 is firmly mounted on the grinding wheel support l3 (Fig. 2), and accordingly does not participate in the control movement of the grinding wheel 4.
  • the power transmission from the stationary motor to the grinding wheel spindle 5 rotating synchronously with the crank pins 3 to be ground takes place by way of two belt drives 23 and 24.
