[0002] The input shaft of the new energy reducer has an inner cavity with internal splines and an outer wall with a gear structure. The input shaft blank needs to be fine-machined to form the finished input shaft. The current input shaft finishing process is: fine turning the outer circle inner hole at one end - fine turning the outer circle inner hole at the other end - drawing the inner spline - hobbing - heat treatment - grinding the outer circle end face at one end - grinding the outer circle end face at the other end - hot turning the inner hole at one end - hot turning the inner hole at the other end - grinding. The entire process takes a long time to process. Since the fine turning of one end and the fine turning of the other end are completed by two clampings, there are eccentric errors in the center holes at both ends and the outer circles of the bearings at both ends, which amplifies the errors in the subsequent processes such as drawing splines, hobbing, and grinding the outer circle after heat treatment.

[0020] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0021] The finishing method of the internal spline input shaft is characterized in that the center hole 1 at both ends of the input shaft is used as a reference, and the central axis 2 of the center hole 1 is used as the processing axis. The center hole 1 at both ends of the input shaft, the bearing outer circle 3 and the positioning end face 4 are first finished by a double-head CNC lathe, and then the input shaft is pulled into internal splines, hobbed, heat treated, ground at both ends of the outer circle, and finished and ground at both ends of the inner hole.

[0022] The finishing method of the internal spline input shaft described above uses a double-head CNC lathe to complete the finishing of the center hole 1, the outer circle 3 of the bearing and the positioning end face 4 at both ends of the input shaft through process optimization, which ensures the coaxiality of the center hole datum at both ends of the input shaft, and ensures that the outer circle of the bearing is consistent with the center hole datum, effectively reducing the eccentricity error of the center hole at both ends and the outer circle of the bearing at both ends; taking the center hole 1 at both ends of the input shaft as the datum, and using the center axis 2 of the center hole 1 as the machining axis to ensure the consistency of the datum of the subsequent finishing process, reducing the error magnification rate of the subsequent finishing, improving the overall accuracy of the product, improving the concentricity of the assembled bearings at both ends of the input shaft, improving the transmission reliability of the input shaft, and reducing transmission noise; using a double-head CNC lathe to clamp the outer circle, and completing the finishing of the center hole 1, the outer circle 3 of the bearing and the positioning end face 4 at both ends of the input shaft with one clamping, accelerating the finishing beat of the input shaft, improving the finishing efficiency, and improving production benefits.

[0023] Among them, an outer cylindrical expansion sleeve is used to clamp the middle outer circle of the input shaft on the double-head CNC lathe, so that the center of the outer cylindrical expansion sleeve is aligned with the central axis 3 of the center hole 1, and the center hole 1, the outer circle 3 of the bearing, and the positioning end face 4 at both ends of the input shaft are synchronously fine-turned in sequence. The input shaft is clamped on the double-head CNC lathe, the center of the outer cylindrical expansion sleeve is aligned with the central axis 2 of the center hole 1, and then the two ends of the input shaft are synchronously fine-turned, first the center hole 1 is fine-turned, then the outer circle 3 of the bearing is fine-turned, and then the positioning end face 4 is fine-turned. The synchronous fine turning of the center hole 1, the outer circle 3 of the bearing and the positioning end face 4 at both ends of the input shaft is achieved in one clamping, which not only ensures the coaxiality of the center hole and the outer circle at both ends of the input shaft, but also shortens the processing time and improves the processing efficiency.

[0024] Among them, drawing the internal spline of the input shaft means: using the main clamping tool body and the laying clamping tool body to clamp the two ends of the broaching tool on the CNC broaching machine, respectively, clamping the input shaft on the CNC lathe so that the centers of the main clamping tool body and the laying clamping tool body are aligned with the central axis 2 of the center hole 1, and using the broaching tool to form the internal spline 5 in the inner cavity of the input shaft. The central axis 2 of the center hole 1 is used as the processing axis of the spline, and the processing datum is consistent, so as to improve the coaxiality of the internal spline 5 and the center hole 1.

[0025] Among them, gear hobbing for the input shaft means: using a gear hobbing fixture to clamp the outer circle of the bearing at one end of the input shaft on a CNC gear hobbing machine, and using a top center to press the center hole at the other end, so that the center of the gear hobbing fixture is aligned with the center axis 2 of the center hole, and using a pre-grinding hob to perform gear hobbing on the input shaft gear 6. The center axis 2 of the center hole 1 is used as the machining axis of the gear hobbing, and the machining datum is consistent, so as to improve the coaxiality of the input shaft gear 6 and the center hole 1.

[0026] Among them, grinding the outer circle of both ends of the input shaft means: using the tip on the CNC cylindrical grinder to clamp the input end, aligning the center of the tip with the central axis 2 of the center hole 1, first grinding the end outer circle 7 and end face chamfer 8 of one end of the input shaft, then turning the input shaft 180 degrees to swap the two ends of the input shaft, and then using the tip on the CNC cylindrical grinder to clamp the input shaft, aligning the center of the tip with the central axis of the center hole, and grinding the end outer circle 7 and end face 9 of the other end of the input shaft. Using the central axis 2 of the center hole 1 as the machining axis of the end outer circle, the machining datum is consistent, and the coaxiality of the end outer circle of the input shaft and the center hole 1 is improved.

[0027] Among them, finishing the inner holes at both ends of the input shaft means: using an outer cylindrical clamping sleeve to clamp the two ends of the input shaft on a double-head CNC lathe, aligning the center of the outer cylindrical clamping sleeve with the central axis of the center hole, and finishing the inner holes 10 at both ends of the input shaft synchronously. Using the central axis 2 of the center hole 1 as the machining axis of the inner holes at both ends, the machining datum is consistent, and the coaxiality of the inner holes 10 at both ends of the input shaft and the center hole 1 is improved. The input shaft is clamped on a double-head CNC lathe, and the inner holes 10 at both ends of the input shaft are finished synchronously. Only one clamping is required to achieve the synchronous finishing of the inner holes at both ends of the input shaft, which not only ensures the coaxiality of the inner holes at both ends of the input shaft, but also shortens the processing time and improves the processing efficiency.

[0028] Among them, the input shaft is ground by using a gear grinding fixture to chamfer the front end of the bearing outer circle 3 at one end of the input shaft on a CNC gear grinding machine, and the other end is tightened against the center hole with an upper center, so that the center of the gear grinding fixture is aligned with the center axis 2 of the center hole, and the input shaft gear 6 is ground and reshaped with a gear grinding wheel. The tooth shape and tooth direction of the input shaft gear 6 are corrected so that the tooth shape and tooth direction of the input shaft gear 6 meet the tolerance requirements.
