Description

The machining method of large tapered rollers with a length to diameter ratio less than 1

Technical field

The present invention belongs to the field of rolling bearing manufacturing and relates to a processing method for bearing rollers. Specifically, it relates to a processing method for a large tapered roller with a length to diameter ratio less than 1.

Background technology

The half of a general tapered roller is within the range of 1 ° to 4 °, and those with a half exceeding 4 ° are called large tapered rollers. In addition, the length of a tapered roller is generally larger than the diameter (referring to the larger end diameter of a tapered roller), that is, the ratio of length to diameter is greater than 1. However, some special tapered rollers have a length smaller than the diameter and are called tapered rollers with a length to diameter ratio less than 1.

When the tapered roller has a large and a length to diameter ratio of less than 1, its machining difficulty is much greater than that of ordinary rollers, mainly manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Difficulty in positioning the cold pier roller blank. The concave die used for cold forging such roller blanks has a large and shallow depth. After the cylindrical material section is placed in the concave die cavity, the stability of positioning is poor and it is prone to deviation, which often leads to the blank being offset.

(2) Difficulty in forming raw materials. The diameter difference between the large and small ends of this type of roller is significant and relatively short. When cold heading the blank, both the large and small ends need to undergo significant deformation in order to have the same shape as the inner cavity. Therefore, it is possible that the small end may experience severe cold work hardening due to high extrusion pressure, while the large end may experience cracks due to excessive deformation.

(3) Difficulty in grinding the outer circle. When grinding the outer circle of this type of roller on a centerless grinding machine, the roller is positioned by a spiral guide wheel, which drives the roller to rotate and move forward. During rough grinding, jumping and stopping may occur due to the large of the roller, thereby affecting the machining quality.

(4) Difficulty in grinding both end faces. When grinding the large and small end faces of this type of roller on a double end face grinder, the roller is brought into the grinding area through a feeding plate. Due to the large of the roller, its positioning in the loading space of the feeding plate is unstable, and the difference in grinding forces on the two end faces causes the roller to tilt, thereby affecting the machining accuracy.

(5) Difficulty in grinding the ball base surface. According to the needs of the bearing, the curvature radius of the base surface ball of this type of roller is designed to be relatively small. When grinding the ball base surface, the amount of wear on the edge of the ball base surface is much larger than that in the middle, which can easily cause burns on the edge of the ball base surface during grinding.

Due to the above reasons, if large tapered rollers with a length to diameter ratio of less than 1 are processed using conventional processing methods, quality defects such as insufficient material or cracks on the surface of the rollers, inadequate grinding of the outer circle with black skin, burning of the ball base surface, and different axes at both ends of the rollers may occur. As a result, it leads to a high scrap rate and low production efficiency.

Summary of the invention

To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a processing method specifically for large tapered rollers with a length to diameter ratio of less than 1. This method avoids the processing difficulties caused by the large of the rollers in each process. The roller blank is first cold-rolled into a 4 ° half cone angle, and then gradually processed into the required half through processes such as soft grinding, rough grinding, and precision grinding. This method can reduce the processing difficulty of large tapered rollers with a length to diameter ratio of less than 1, achieve the goal of reducing scrap rate and improving production efficiency.

The specific steps adopted by the present invention to complete its invention tasks are as follows:

1) Design the structural dimensions of the roller blank: For large tapered rollers with a half greater than 4 °, design the half of the blank uniformly according to 4 °; Calculate the diameter of the large end of the blank according to the dimensions specified in the drawing plus the allowance for grinding the large end; The small head diameter is calculated based on the calculated large head diameter, the length specified in the drawing, and the grinding allowance of the end face, with a half of 4 °; The allowance for large head outer circle grinding and end face grinding is determined based on the roller diameter. For rollers with a diameter of less than 10mm, the allowance for large head outer circle grinding is selected within the range of 0.3-0.35mm, and the allowance for end face grinding is selected as 0.3mm; For rollers with a diameter of 10-20mm, the large end outer circle grinding allowance should be selected within the range of 0.4-0.5mm, and the end face grinding allowance should be selected within the range of 0.4-0.6mm; For rollers with a diameter of 20mm or more, the large end outer circle grinding allowance should be selected within the range of 0.6-0.7mm, and the end face grinding allowance should be selected within the range of 0.6-0.8mm; After designing the structure of the blank according to the above method, although the grinding amount of the small head increased, the problem of cold pier was solved;

After rough grinding, there should be a margin of 0.1-0.25mm for the outer surface of the roller head; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is less than 6 °, a spiral guide wheel with the same half as the roller specified in the drawing can be used for rough grinding to remove 0.04-0.10mm of the outer surface of the large head. After rough grinding, there should be a margin of 0.08-0.20mm for the outer surface of the large head of the roller;

8) Place the roller that has undergone the first rough grinding on a double end face grinder to grind two end faces; Grind off 0.11-0.35mm on both ends, and there should be a grinding amount of 0.08-0.1mm in the length direction of the roller after grinding; 9) Place the roller that has undergone double end face grinding on the centerless grinding machine for the second rough grinding of the outer circle; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is greater than or equal to 7 °, use a 7 ° spiral guide wheel for the second rough grinding of the outer circle; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is less than 7 ° and greater than 6 °, use a spiral guide wheel with the same half as the roller specified in the drawing for a second rough grinding of the outer circle; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is less than 6 °, the second rough grinding of the outer circle will not be carried out; For rollers with a half of more than 6 °, the second rough grinding should remove 0.02-0.05mm from the outer surface of the large head. After the second rough grinding, there should still be a margin of 0.08-0.20mm left on the outer surface of the large head;

9) Place the roller that has undergone the second rough grinding on the centerless grinding machine for the third rough grinding of the outer circle; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is greater than or equal to 8 °, use an 8 ° spiral guide wheel for the third rough grinding of the outer circle; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is less than 8 ° and greater than 7 °, use a spiral guide wheel with the same half as the roller specified in the drawing for the third rough grinding of the outer diameter; If the half of the roller specified in the drawing is less than or equal to 7 °, the third rough grinding of the outer diameter will not be carried out; For rollers with a half greater than 7 °, the third rough grinding should remove 0.02-0.05mm from the outer surface of the large head. After rough grinding, there should be a margin of 0.06-0.15mm for the outer surface of the large head of the roller;

Steel Ball Cold Heading Tools

n the steel ball cold heading process, after barstocks are cut into column-shaped blanks, two ends of the column shaped blanks are rubbed and cut into inversed angel or round angle shapes, and then the blanks are transferred to a cold heading mechanism to be headed into steel ball rough cast; a blank rubbing and cutting mechanism is additionally arranged on the corresponding cold heading machine. The quality and eligibility rate of the steel ball rough cast can be enhanced and the manufacturing cost thereof can be reduced. Furthermore, as the shapes of the blanks entering the cold forging mechanism are regular, the stress born by the cold heading mechanism is equal in the punching process, thus the service life of cold heading dies is prolonged.
