Research on double-rotor dynamic grinding model and simulation algorithm for crankshaft main journal

Abstract

Crankshaft is a core part of automobile engine to bear impact load and transmit power. Precision grinding is the most important machining method to achieve high precision of crankshaft main journal. Although many scholars have established various simulation models in the field of cylindrical grinding, it is difficult to carry out effective quantitative simulation for a given crankshaft main journal grinding system. Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing models, a double-rotor dynamic model is proposed, which considers the interaction between the grinding wheel and the main journal, and iterative algorithm is adopted to simulate material removal and roundness change in the grinding process of the main journal. The normal force between grinding wheel and the main journal is defined in detail in the algorithm, which is closer to the actual grinding process. For a given crankshaft grinding system, different grinding strategies of the main journal are quantitatively simulated by using the model. The proposed model and algorithm are validated by experiments, which can provide a basic model for the further study of the crankshaft cylindrical grinding system.
