Abstract:
An auxiliary equipment for valve grinding is provided, including a main body, a driving shaft, a first linkage, a second linkage, a third linkage and a driven shaft. The driving shaft defines a first axial direction. The driving shaft is for connecting to a rotating tool. One end of the first linkage is connected to the driving shaft. The second linkage and the other end of the first linkage are connected to a first movable connecting portion. One end of the third linkage and the second linkage are connected to a second movable connecting portion. The driven shaft defines a second axial direction. When the first linkage rotates together with the driving shaft, the first movable connecting portion rotates about the first axial direction, the second linkage swings about the first movable connecting portion, and the second movable connecting portion swings about the second axial direction.
Abstract:
For the machining of a workpiece (18) rotating about a workpiece axis, a first abrasive tool (20), which rotates about a first tool axis, and the workpiece (18) are advanced towards one another, in order to machine a first workpiece face in a first abrasive operation. Further, a second abrasive tool (54), which rotates about a second tool axis (56), is advanced towards the workpiece (18), in order to machine a second workpiece face in a second abrasive operation. The two workpiece faces are designed rotationally symmetrically with respect to the workpiece axis and are arranged adjacently to one another in such a way that a sharp, burr-free, circular transition edge is formed between them. The two abrasive operations are controlled in such a way that they are terminated at the same time. The method and apparatus for abrasive circular machining allow a reliable and accurate machining of workpieces with a sharp and a burr-free transition edge between two rotationally symmetrical faces, even in the manufacture of large series.
Abstract:
A method is described for matching the lands in a spool valve (300) for a fuel injector. The spool valve (300) has a valve body (340) forming an inside surface (373) to receive the spool (310). The inside surface is measured to locate the position of contact points on the valve body (340). A starting contact point (514) is selected from the contact points on the valve body (340). The starting contact point (514) is transposed to the spool (310). The other contact points are transposed to the spool (300), preferably by using the distances between the other contact points and the starting contact point on the valve body. Grind areas are identified on the spool (310) based on the starting contact point, the other contact points, and specifications for the spool. The grind areas are ground to form lands on the spool (310) that match lands on the valve body (340). Alternatively, the lands on the valve body (340) are made based on the contact points of the spool (310)
Abstract:
An apparatus for engaging the stem of a valve member and for rotating the valve member about an axis, the apparatus comprising a sleeve member supported for rotation about an axis, the sleeve member having therein a cylindrical bore centered on the axis and machined by rotating the sleeve member about the axis, a spindle slideably housed within the bore for movement relative to the sleeve member along the axis, the spindle including an inner surface defining a frustoconical bore centered on the axis, the inner surface being machined by rotating the spindle in the sleeve and about the axis, a collar mounted on the sleeve member and including a second inner surface defining a second frustoconical bore centered on the axis, the second inner surface being machined by rotating the sleeve member and the collar about the axis, a first set of balls located within the bore and supported for radial movement relative to the sleeve member and for engagement with the spindle inner surface, a second set of balls located within the bore and supported for radial movement relative to sleeve member and for engagement with the second inner surface, a mechanism for moving the spindle relative to the sleeve member and along the axis so that the spindle inner surface engages the first set of balls and so that the collar inner surface engages the second set of balls, and a mechanism for rotating the spindle about the axis.
