Abstract

The present invention relates to a grind machining apparatus, which comprises a grinding wheel and an electrochemical processing module. The grinding wheel has a grinding surface on the surface. The electrochemical processing modules is disposed at the grinding wheel. The processing surface of the electrochemical processing module faces the direction away from an axle of the grinding wheel and is located lower than the grinding surface. By using the above grind machining apparatus, alternate compound machining including electrochemical oxidation processing and mechanical grind machining can be performed.

Claims (21)

1. A grind machining apparatus, comprising:

a grinding wheel, having a grinding surface;

an electrochemical processing module, disposed at said grinding wheel, and having a processing surface facing the direction away from an axle of said grinding wheel and located lower than said grinding surface;

an electrolyte transport module; wherein said electrolyte transport module passes through said axle of said grinding wheel and said electrically conductive member; said grinding wheel is sandwiched between said electrically conductive member and said electrolyte transport module; and said electrolyte transport module is connected with said electrochemical processing module.

2. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said electrolyte transport module includes a flow guiding member and an electrolyte distribution structure; said flow guiding member having a chamber; said flow guiding member disposed at said electrolyte distribution structure; said chamber communicating with said electrolyte distribution structure; and said electrolyte distribution structure disposed in said grinding wheel and communicating with said draining members of said electrochemical processing units.

3. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said electrolyte distribution structure has a plurality of transport channels; each of said transport channels has a first end opening and a second end opening; one of said first end openings communicates with said chamber; and said second end openings communicate with said draining members of said electrochemical processing units, respectively.

4. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the shape of said chamber of said flow guiding member is a curved-shape; said chamber is located on a spin path of said first end openings of said transport channels in said electrolyte distribution structure; and the area of said chamber is greater than the area of said first end opening of each said transport channel.

5. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a spin mechanism including a bearing, a limiter, and an axle positioning member; said electrolyte distribution structure passing through said axle of said grinding wheel; said bearing passing through said electrolyte distribution structure; said limiter surrounding and fixed to said electrolyte distribution structure and located on one side of said bearing; said axle positioning member put around said electrolyte distribution structure and fixed to said flow guiding member; and said bearing and said limiter located between said axle positioning member and said flow guiding member.

6. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said electrolyte transport module further includes an input structure disposed at said flow guiding member and communicating with said chamber.

7. The grind machining apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a cover covering a part of the surface of said grinding wheel.

8. A grind machining apparatus, comprising:

a grinding wheel, having a grinding surface; and

an electrochemical processing module, comprising a plurality of electrochemical processing units, disposed at said grinding wheel, and having a processing surface facing the direction away from an axle of said grinding wheel and located lower than said grinding surface;

wherein each of said electrochemical processing units includes a processing electrode and a draining member; said processing electrode is disposed at said draining member; and said processing surface of said processing electrode faces the direction away from said axle of said grinding wheel.

9.
