Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a processing device for processing the outer peripheral surface of a metal ring-shaped member.
- the outer surfaces of metal ring-shaped components are ground to improve surface precision and surface roughness.
- FIG 13 shows a conventional grinding device 100 described in Patent Document 1 (JP Patent Publication 2004-195651).
- the grinding device 100 is equipped with a backing plate 101 that can be rotated around its own central axis, a grindstone 102 that has a central axis arranged parallel to the central axis of the backing plate 101 and can be rotated around said central axis, and two shoes 104 for radially positioning a metal ring-shaped member 103, which is the workpiece (object to be processed).
- the axial end face of the ring-shaped member 103 is magnetically attracted to the tip surface of the backing plate 101, and the tips (seat surfaces) of the two shoes 104 are brought into sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103, thereby positioning the ring-shaped member 103 radially.
- the backing plate 101 is rotated to rotate the ring-shaped member 103, and the grinding surface 105, which is the outer peripheral surface of the rotating grinding wheel 102, is pressed against a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103 that is circumferentially away from the portion where the tips of the two shoes 104 are in sliding contact, thereby grinding the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103.
- the ring-shaped member 103 elastically deforms into an ellipse, that is, if the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103 elastically deforms so as to escape from the grinding surface 105 of the grinding wheel 102, the amount of grinding of the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103 and the amount of cutting into the grinding wheel 102 will not match, which may make it difficult to finish the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 103 to the desired diameter dimension.
- Patent Document 2 JP Patent Publication 2019-42864A describes a grinding device in which a portion of the outer circumferential surface of a ring-shaped member that is circumferentially removed from the portion to be ground by a grindstone is supported by two shoes, and when the outer circumferential surface of the ring-shaped portion is ground by a grindstone, a moment is applied to the ring-shaped member in a direction that presses the outer circumferential surface of the ring-shaped member toward the first shoe of the two shoes that is closer to the grindstone.
- the second shoe that is the farthest from the grindstone is supported so that it can oscillate about an oscillating axis that is located farther from the first shoe than the circumferential center of the second shoe. Therefore, as the grindstone is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the ring-shaped member, the reaction force applied from the second shoe to the ring-shaped member is greater at the contact point between the ring-shaped member and the second shoe on the side farther from the first shoe than on the side closer to the first shoe. As a result, a moment is applied to the ring-shaped member in a direction that presses the outer circumferential surface towards the first shoe.
- the grinding device described in Patent Document 2 presses the grinding surface of the grindstone against the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member, effectively preventing a decrease in the contact pressure between the first shoe and the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member, even if the ring-shaped member elastically deforms into an elliptical shape, and thus stabilizing the position of the ring-shaped member during grinding.
- the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member is supported by two shoes, so it is difficult to prevent the ring-shaped member from elastically deforming into an elliptical shape due to the pressing force of the grindstone.
- the amount of grinding on the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member and the amount of cutting into the grinding wheel do not match, which can make it difficult to finish the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member to the desired diameter dimension.
- the objective of this aspect of the present invention is to provide a processing device and processing method for ring-shaped components that are advantageous for improving quality.
- a processing device for a ring-shaped member includes a rotary drive mechanism that rotates a metal ring-shaped member in a circumferential direction around a reference axis, a grinding mechanism having a grinding wheel that is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member, and a support mechanism that has a support part that contacts the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member in at least one circumferential range around the reference axis and supports the ring-shaped member.
- a method for machining a ring-shaped member includes the steps of rotating a metal ring-shaped member in a circumferential direction around a reference axis, and pressing a grinding wheel against the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member, and supporting the ring-shaped member by contacting a support portion with the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member in at least one circumferential range around the reference axis.
