GRINDING MACHINE FOR MACHINING POLYGONAL WORKPIECES The invention concerns a grinding machine whereby diverse polygonal workpiece may be ground in a manner similar to convention roll grinding and internal grinding.
In the field of manufacture of machines, vehicles and mass production the demand arises ever more frequently to form workpieces for performing certain tasks in a polygonal shape. Polygonally shaped workpieces are particularly suitable e.g. for connecting shafts and components coupled thereto, for performing shape-determining tasks of mass production, tools, stamping tools and the like and for control tasks etc. Although their use affords great technical and economic advantages, their general reduction to practice has so far in many cases run into obstacles.
The major part of the obstacles has hitherto been the absence of a process and apparatus enabling the efficient, sufficiently accurate and economic production of a polygonal workpiece ground both externally and internally in a way similar to e.g. a shaft produced on a traditional machine tool.
A further obstacle to the rapid growth of use has also been the fact that the shapes and dimensions of polygonal workpieces required in industry may vary widely and in the hitherto known processes and apparatuses the change-over from one shape and one set of dimensions to another has meant a lot of time and considerable assembly work.
The wider use of polygonal workpieces has also been hindered by the fact that the hitherto known machines and devices used for their production had not been rigid enough to resist the rotational movements and translational circular movements (planetary movements) and elliptical movements giving rise to relatively large force effects without change of shape or wear; and after a relatively long operational life they could not ensure the specified dimensional accuracy, or alternatively in order to achieve the necessary rigidity, it has been necessary to build very robust and expensive machines and to limit the speeds of the movement which had an unfavourable effect on productivity.
To machine the exterior and interior surfaces of polygonal workpieces in a manner akin to turning there is already known a process and apparatus which can produce workpieces at a quality of grade IT 8, dimensionally accurately and true to the desired shape (Hungarian Patent Specification No. 156,607). To produce greater dimensional accuracy, better trueness of shape and higher surface quality one must employ grindingtype machining; however, between the tools of turning and grinding there are such differences in shapes, sizes and drive mechanisms that it is not possible to produce polygonal workpieces machined on the external and internal surfaces by copying a process and machine employed in turning.
In the hitherto known processes for grinding the external surfaces of polygonal workpieces great problems have arisen.
In many known processes a difficulty is caused by the fact that the movement of the large-mass grinding wheel, spindle, sheaves, headstock etc., caused by a lever mechanism generated considerable dynamic forces; in addition the headstock must movein synchronism with the movement of the workpiece which is difficult to achieve and which from the points of view of accuracy of working, wear and service life of the machine causes difficulties.
In one known process a difficulty is caused also by the use of elliptical motion in place of planetary motion in order to eliminate errors stemming from changes in diameter of the grinding disc. The motion is obtained by the superposition of two mutally perpendicular linear components of movement. This motion may be generated e.g. by means of an eccentric, wherein the horizontal component of the eccentric movement is transmitted to the rotary shaft of the grinding disc by a push rod and the vertical component by a two-armed lever. The lever arm ratio of the two-armed lever is adjustable, which makes it possible to change the circular motion into a movement along an elliptical path. The transmission to the grinding disc of the two components of movement set the requirement on the grinding disc that it should be journalled in a complicated system of positive constraints made up of the following parts: i
The grinding shaft is journalled in main bearings. The main bearings are displaceable in vertical, linear guides. The linear guides are carried by a body which is displaceable in horizontal guides.
The horizontal guides are formed in a grinding slide which can be regarded as rigid enough.
Thus in this known system, the large-mass grinding disc rotating at about 3000 r.p.m. moves in a serially connected, weak constraint system, with a period corresponding to the number of sides of the polygon, for each rotation of the workpiece. This circumstance leads to the creation of large dynamic forces.
It occurs in the course of using polygonal workpieces that for an already existing workpiece machined on its external or internal surface, a suitable pair of workpieces is required to be made, and the already existing and the new workpieces have to be interfitted in accordance with the given requirements. This means in essence that one must be able to grind polygonal profiles, characterised by the given polygonal number and by the maximum and minimum radii, along differently profiled curves.
Some of the known processes and grinding machines also suffer from the fault that wear of the grinding disc greatly influences the trueness of shape and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece produce, and neither the auxiliary movements in the directions of feed and rotation, nor the main machining movement always be set to the optimum value.
The invention seeks to provide a grinding machine for the machining of polygonal workpieces by means of which both the external and the internal surfaces of workpieces can be finish-machined with a dimensional accuracy equal to that of traditional grinding processes; the workpieces belonging together and pushed into each other have external and internal surfaces which fit togehter along practically the whole of their circumference, during machining the generated dynamic forces are smaller by an order of magnitude than those in known solutions, the change-over from one polygonal shape to another of different dimensions and configuration can be effected quickly and easily, wear of the grinding disc has practically no influence on the trueness of shape and on dimensional accuracy, the auxiliary movements in the directions of feed and cut, as well as main machining movement may be optimised for the machining requirements at all times, furthermore the machine or construction used for grinding has few components, is not liable to breakdown, is rigid, and in addition affords the possibility of fitting ground workpieces to workpieces of a given polygonal shape fabricated by another process, by virtue of the fact that a polygonal profile characterised by a given polygon number and by maximum and minimum radii can be ground with differently profiled curves.
With the invention the task set is solved by rotating the workpiece to be ground about its own axis which is parallel with the axis of a grinding disc or ring which has either a stationary axis or an alternatingly moving axis, and at the same time the axis of the workpiece is rotated along the periphery of a cylinder of rotation with an axis parallel with axis of the workpiece, the number of revolutions being equal to the number of revolutions of the workpiece about its own axis multiplied by the number of sides of polygon, and the ratio of angular velocities of the former fundamental motions is periodically changed.
A further characteristic is that in the course of machining the internal surfaces, the shaft of the stone carrying out the machining and rotating about its own axis is displaced together with an arm performing an angular or linear movement about the axis of the grinding disc or ring carrying out the machining of the external surfaces, and the distance between the stationary shaft of the grinding disc or ring operating on the outer mantle and the point on the periphery of the stone farthest or nearest to the shaft is kept equal to the radius of the grinding disc or ring operating on the outer surface.
A further characteristic of the invention is that in the course of machining both half-sections of each side of the polygonal workpiece, from the starting point of a half-section the angular velocity of the planetary movement of the workpiece is continuously changed to a maximum value, then by changing the sign of the change of angular velocity the change in angular displacement stemming from the change in angular velocity is continuously reduced to the end of the halfsection.
Another characteristic of the the invention is that during machining the workpiece is rotated about its own axis and the shaft of the workpiece is rotated in the same or in the opposite direction along the periphery of the cylinder of rotation.
The grinding machine according to the invention is characterized in that it has: a main spindle rotating about an axis parallel with the axis of a tool, e.g. a grinding disc or ring, rotating about a stationary axis, an axially adjustable tailstock spindle parallel and rotating synchronously with the main spindle, a respective centre in the main spindle and in the tailstock spindle, which centres are either of constant eccentricity and exchangeable or are of adjustable eccentricity, a driving device for the workpiece mounted between the centres, further, it has between the driving device and the main spindle a transmission for effecting a positive rotational coupling, with a transmission ratio equal to the number of the polygon, i.e. the number of sides of the workpiece, and in the kinematic chain of the gear mechanism, in the sections of the translational circular movement belonging with the polygonal sides, there is a correcting mechanism which periodically changes the angular velocity.
