Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After Nie Guodong left, Liu Wuming and the other two turned their eyes to Zhou Tian. After all, the plan was made by Zhou Tian, ​​and they needed to wait for Zhou Tian's arrangements.

Zhou Tian naturally felt the gazes of the three people and quickly understood what his master and the other two meant.

"Master, you are responsible for the inspection of the spindle box, Master Zhang Qian is responsible for the feed box, and I will be responsible for the overall inspection. As for Second Brother, you will be responsible for helping Master carry it!"

Listening to Zhou Tian's arrangements, the four had no objections. After all, among the four, only Liu Yuan was a junior worker, and he was able to join because he and Zhou Tian were fellow apprentices. If he were really asked to check the parts of the lathe, he would not dare to do so.

As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, the four of them quickly got busy. They first dismantled a scrapped lathe, and then checked it component by component.

Although Zhou Tian could directly take out the drawings he drew and make modifications directly, it was difficult to explain the origin now. It would be better for him to check the parts of the entire lathe first, and then start discussing improvements and designs with each other. This was in line with the procedure for lathe modification.

In one morning, the four people checked all the parts of the lathe. The usable parts were piled together, and the unusable and scrapped parts were placed on the other side.

Soon, the four people had a clear understanding of the entire lathe situation.

The lathe itself is composed of a spindle box, a feed box, a tool holder, a slide box, a body, a servo motor, a tailstock and a cooling device, and each component plays an extremely important role.

The spindle box is mainly responsible for transmitting the rotational motion from the main motor through a series of speed change mechanisms so that the spindle can obtain the required forward and reverse rotation speeds. At the same time, the spindle box allocates part of the power to transmit the motion to the feed box.

It is one of the main parts of a lathe. The stability of the spindle's operation on the bearing directly affects the machining quality of the workpiece. Once the spindle's rotation accuracy is reduced, the use value of the machine tool will be reduced.

It can be said that the spindle box is an extremely important part that affects the precision and quality of the lathe, so the master is at ease to leave this job to him.

After understanding the situation clearly, Zhou Tian and his three companions gathered together to discuss how to modify the lathe and how to increase its working efficiency and precision.

Based on their many years of experience in lathes, masters Liu Wuming and Zhang Qian each put forward a number of suggestions and improvement plans, but in Zhou Tian's view, they were just a change of name but the substance remained the same.

Master Liu Wuming's suggestion is to replace some parts of the lathe and perform precision machining to make the lathe more precise, thereby improving the lathe's working efficiency.

Zhang Qian’s suggestion is to redesign the body and rear of the car to achieve a stable level, which can also improve the accuracy of the lathe from the side.

However, in Zhou Tian's opinion, the two people's proposals were all about replacing lathe parts. Although they could play a certain role, they lacked innovation and vision.

If you really just want to replace parts, how can you talk about modifying the lathe? It would be better to just replace the parts directly.

However, Zhou Tian did not discriminate against his master and Zhang Qian. After all, he knew that in this era, due to the foreign blockade of the country, many sophisticated machines were inaccessible to everyone.

Therefore, the ideas that Master and Zhang Qian have are basically the ideas of people of this generation.

"Master, Master Zhang, what we need to do is not just to replace the parts of the lathe, but to improve the performance of the lathe to the best. Although Master Zhang's idea is feasible to a certain extent, in the final analysis, it is still a change of soup but not the medicine. It can be said that there is no improvement in the performance of the lathe, but the improvement is limited. This has no practical significance for our transformation!"

After refuting the words of his master and Master Zhang, Zhou Tian began to express his own ideas using the machine tool theory in the virtual space in his mind.

In his opinion, the entire lathe is a whole, in which the spindle box, feed box, body and tailstock are all for processing. If you want to improve the working efficiency of the lathe, the most important thing is to design the lathe more reasonably.

In order to ensure the stability of the entire lathe, the motor, and even the tool, there must be a relatively accurate estimate, so that the performance of the entire lathe can be maximized.

As he spoke, he began to draw the blueprint he had drawn last night on the floor in front of his master and Master Zhang, and explained it in detail, talking about the meaning and ideas of this design.

Master Liu Wuming and Zhang Qian were a little indifferent to Zhou Tian's rebuttal. After all, in their opinion, the modification of the lathe was just a deep processing of some parts, which did not require any complexity.

However, as Zhou Tian explained, the expressions of the two gradually changed. They found that their self-righteous theories were directly overturned in Zhou Tian's explanation, and they even gradually became a little confused.

Especially some of the data and theories involved. In their opinion, this is not just a modification of the lathe, but can be regarded as the redesign of a new lathe.

For a moment, the two of them looked at Zhou Tian with somewhat different eyes. Zhang Qian looked at Zhou Tian who was talking eloquently, and couldn't help but cast his envious eyes to Liu Wuming beside him again.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Oh, I really missed it!"

After Zhou Tian finished explaining his ideas, he looked up at his master and Zhang Qian. Just as he was about to ask them about their understanding of this theory, he saw that they looked confused and it was obvious that they did not understand what he had just said at all.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Xiaotian, what you just said is too profound for your master, Master Zhang, and me. Master Zhang and I cannot understand it. But since you have your own ideas, just go ahead and do it. Master Zhang and I will just help you!"

Liu Wuming was a meticulous person. When he saw the helplessness in his apprentice's eyes, he suddenly felt a little guilty and said.

"Yes! Master Zhou, your master and I are not well educated, and we only have a superficial understanding of the theoretical knowledge you mentioned. Since you have an idea, we support it!"

Zhang Qian also agreed. He had no choice but to admit that his skills were inferior to others. Although he knew that Zhou Tian had been learning all the time, he did not expect that the gap between them would be so huge in such a short time.

Once again, he realized the gap between ordinary people and monsters. No wonder Zhou Tian was promoted to master chef so quickly. There is indeed a reason for it.

"OK then!"

Although Zhou Tian still wanted his master and Master Zhang to understand his ideas more, he had to give up after hearing what they said. After all, no matter how much he explained, the two of them just couldn't understand, and he had no other choice.

"Second Brother, go tell the director to send us some materials, and then go to the logistics department to get some paper!"

After giving instructions to his second senior brother who was already confused, Zhou Tian decided to get started. Since neither his master nor Master Zhang understood his idea, he could only do it himself.

"Ok!"

Liu Yuan had been listening at the side and was a little dazed, but when he heard Zhou Tian's words, he immediately came to his senses, responded quickly, turned around and ran out of the workshop.
