Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a honing tool for carrying out honing working of a work with high precision and super precision finishing method using the same.
- In the prior art, when honing working is to be carried out, a tool with several grindstones attached on its periphery is used, and while the tool is supplied with rotational motion, it is moved in reciprocating motion by a distance corresponding to working area of the work thereby the grinding working is carried out.
- One example of such a honing tool is shown in Fig. 1.
- The
honing tool 61 comprises ahollow mandrel 62, and a plurality ofgrindstones 66 being provided on the outer circumference of thetop end portion 63 of themandrel 62 and movable in the radial direction. Thegrindstones 66 are rotated while being pushed to the outside through abed plate 67 by moving ataper part 65 of amandrel shaft 64 up and down, and are reciprocated up and down repeatedly by the distance corresponding to the working area thereby the grinding working of a prescribed diameter is carried out. - In the honing working by such a
honing tool 61, however, when it is reciprocated up and down repeatedly along a circumferential surface of ahole 81 of awork 80 as shown in Fig. 2, edge oflands 81a is liable to be unsharpened. Moreover, when thelands 81a are different in length, there is a problem that theshorter land 81a is machined more and the finished diameter becomes larger. - If the reciprocating speed is made larger in order to raise the working efficiency, loading or crushing of the
grindstone 66 occurs and the efficiency is rather decreased. - Therefore some honing tool is provided with two sets of grinding sections in order to raise the working efficiency, and can perform rough machining and finish machining continuously.
- Fig. 3 shows a
honing tool 71 in such constitution. Thehoning tool 71 is constituted by acylindrical body 72, a mainmachining grinding section 73 being installed at the top end portion of thebody 72 and comprising a rough grindstone, and afinish grinding section 74 being installed at the center portion and comprising a finish grindstone. A tapered adjustingrod 75 is fitted to the inside of the mainmachining grinding section 73 so that the main machining diameter can be adjusted, and a tapered adjustingrod 77 is fitted to the inside of thefinish grinding section 74 so that the finish grinding diameter can be adjusted. - The
honing tool 71 with the main machining diameter and the finish machining diameter being adjusted is rotated and moved by a distance corresponding to the working area thereby the grinding finishing of the prescribed diameter is carried out. - In such a
honing tool 71, however, there is a problem that thehoning tool 71 is liable to be rolled laterally with respect to the work thereby the straightness of the hole subjected to the grinding finishing cannot be held. Also when the moving speed of the tool is made larger, there is a problem that loading or crushing of themain machining grindstone 73 and thefinish grindstone 74 occurs. - In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, a honing tool and super precision finishing method using the same according to the present invention are constituted as follows.
- The honing tool according to the present invention is one having a plurality of grinding sections in the vertical direction of the body, comprising a pilot section being installed at the top end portion of the body and capable of being fitted to a work; a rough grinding section being installed adjacent to the upper portion of the pilot section and capable of being elastically deformed in the radial direction; a finish grinding section being installed adjacent to the upper portion of the rough grinding section and capable of being elastically deformed in the radial direction; a correction section being installed adjacent to the upper portion of the finish grinding section and formed in diameter slightly less than the machining diameter of the finish grinding section and formed longer than the overall length of the work in the working axis direction; a taper hole being bored at least on the inside of the rough grinding section and the finish grinding section and opened widening towards the top end of the body; and an adjusting section being formed so as to be fitted to the taper hole and having at least two taper parts and capable of adjusting the machining diameter of the rough grinding section and the finish grinding section. The super precision finishing method according to the invention uses the honing tool, and comprises step of sending the honing tool at rapid speed while being reciprocated slightly over a distance corresponding to the working length of the work; step of fitting the pilot section to the work and supporting the top end portion of the honing tool rotatably; step of machining the work by the rough grinding section and the finish grinding section; and step of pushing the correction section to the circumferential surface of the work and performing the correction finishing of the straightness of the work.

driving gear 45 of thehoning machine 30 is constituted to drive apulley 46 being spline-fitted to aspline 41 at the top end portion of themain spindle 40 by arotary drive source 47. - The large
reciprocating device 35 comprises anarm 34 projected from thespindle head 33 and having a female screw portion, aball screw 36 being pivotally supported by theheadstock 32 and threadedly engaged with the female screw portion of thearm 34, and adrive source 37 rotating and driving theball screw 36. By the forward or reverse rotation of theball screw 36, at the state that thespindle head 33 pivotally supports themain spindle 40, it is reciprocated up and down at large amount. - The
small reciprocating device 50 comprises a circular ring washer 51 having a flat surface orthogonal to the axial line of themain spindle 40 and projected at the inside of thespindle head 33, apin 52 fixed orthogonal to themain spindle 40, aneccentric tire 54 being pivotally supported on both ends of thepin 52 and rollable on the circular ring washer 51, and a spring 55 for biasing themain spindle 40 in one direction through aflange portion 42 of themain spindle 40. Theeccentric tire 54 has cross section in contraction shape and is pivotally supported by thepin 52 through aball bearing 53. - In the
small reciprocating device 50, theeccentric tire 54 is rolled on the circular ring washer 51 accompanying with rotation of themain spindle 40. By this rolling motion, themain spindle 40 is formed to be reciprocated up and down little by amplitude being two times of the eccentricity amount "a" between the axial line of thepin 52 and the axial line of theeccentric tire 54 with respect to thespindle head 33 per one revolution. - The

It may be also constituted in that themain spindle 40 is reciprocated up and down little by a crank shaft mounted on the rotational drive source. - Next, super precision finishing method by the honing tool 1 using such a honing
machine 30 will be described. - First, diameter of the

At the same time, thesmall reciprocating device 50 operates and themain spindle 40 is moved up and down with theamplitude 2a at period corresponding to the rotational speed, and accompanying with this, the honing tool 1 is reciprocated up and down little. - Next, if the
large reciprocating device 35 is driven, thespindle head 33 is moved downward, and accompanying with this, themain spindle 40 is moved downward. - The motion of the
main spindle 40 is forward motion of the large reciprocating motion, and while the honing tool 1 is rotated, the small reciprocating motion and the large reciprocating motion are superposed, and the honing tool 1 is moved downward into the hole Wa. - Fig. 13 is a curved line diagram explaining locus of the outer circumference of the honing tool 1 which is moved downward while being reciprocated little.
- As shown in the figure, the honing tool 1 generates sine curve of the
amplitude 2a up and down per one revolution, and is moved downward by the moving amount ℓ by means of thelarge reciprocating device 35. - One sine curve being one round of the inner circumference of the hole Wa continues to next sine curve, and the sine curve is generated in sequence and moved downward in the arrow Y direction.
- By this downward motion, the
pilot section 5 of the honing tool 1 is first moved in the hole Wa, and it is fitted to the hole Wa and rotates and supports the honing tool 1. Thereby advance of the honing tool 1 is guided straight and lateral rolling thereof is prevented. - Further if the downward motion advances, the
rough grinding section 7 is moved in the hole Wa, and while the small reciprocating motion at the rapid speed and short amplitude is repeated, the downward motion at slow speed is continued by thelarge reciprocating device 35. Then therough grinding section 7 carries out the heavy machining and forms the grounding for the finishing. - Continuing to the machining by the
rough grinding section 7, thefinish grinding section 10 is moved in the hole Wa and carries out the finish grinding working while repeating the small reciprocating motion. Further if the downward motion advances, thecorrection section 13 is moved in the hole Wa. Thecorrection section 13 is opposite to the hole Wa machined to the prescribed finish diameter by thefinish grinding section 10 throughout the overall length of the working length L. When the hole Wa is slightly curved in the axial direction, the portion is pushed by thecorrection section 13 and is made flat thereby the straight degree of the hole Wa is improved. - On the other hand, in each process as above described, lubricating oil is supplied through the
oil groove 15 to the machining section, thereby seizure is prevented and the machining property is improved. - When the correction process is completed, the
large reciprocating device 35 is reversely rotated and driven and the honing tool 1 is raised and pulled out of the hole Wa. - Thus the honing tool 1 is moved throughout the overall length of the working length L while repeating the small reciprocating motion, and the heavy machining and the finish machining and correction of the straight degree are carried out by the downward motion of one time thereby the work W can be finished with accuracy of super precision.
- According to the honing tool of the present invention and the super precision finishing method using the honing tool as above described, since the large reciprocating motion and the small reciprocating motion are superposed on the honing tool, and the heavy machining by the rough grinding section and the finish machining by the finish grinding section are carried out continuously, the honing working with high precision can be carried out. Moreover, as the honing finishing can be carried out by only one passing of the honing tool along the work, the working efficiency can be significantly improved.
- Also as the honing tool can be prevented from being rolled and can be inserted straight by the fitting between the pilot section and the work, the working accuracy can be improved and the edge can be prevented from being unsharpened.
- Further, as the machined work is pushed by the correction section and the finishing is carried out, the honing finishing can be carried out with high straight degree.
- Also as the moving machining working is carried out while repeating the small reciprocating motion, loading or crushing of each grinding section can be prevented.
