[0021] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a kind of middle circular arc cylindrical gear, its tooth is middle symmetry circular arc involute tooth profile structure 3, and its involute is formed by 20 ° pressure angle complete single tooth shape and is rotated to cooperate tooth blank and is cut out single tooth (tooth opening) with equal linear speed translation movement, then tooth blank is indexed and repeats this process, until cutting out all tooth number.

[0023] As Figure 2 ,Figure 3 As shown, the tooth profile of the center-positioned circular arc cylindrical gear also has an axial force balancing effect. When forces F1 and F2 are transmitted on the left and right sides, component forces Fx1 and Fx2 are generated. These two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, achieving axial force balance. The machining parameters of the tooth section are designed based on the tooth profile parameters of the center AA section, and the pressure angle is generally 20°.

[0024] A method for machining a mid-position circular arc cylindrical gear includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Use a disc milling cutter 1 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the gear blank 2 is fixed on the machine tool spindle and mounted on a device that can perform gear splitting and rotate at a certain angle.

[0026] Step 2: The disc-type toothed end mill 1 performs both linear and rotary motions simultaneously. The linear motion speed of the disc-type toothed end mill 1 is set as υ1, and the linear velocity converted from the angular velocity at the pitch circle of the tooth blank 2, i.e., the pitch circle linear velocity of the tooth blank, is υ2. υ1 and υ2 are in the same direction and have the same speed.

[0027] Step 3: Obtain a centrally symmetrical involute tooth structure.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the linear motion line of the center of the disc milling cutter 1 coincides with the center line of the tooth width of the tooth blank 2, that is... Figure 6 The two A values ​​are equal.

[0029] The tooth profile angle of the disc-type toothed end mill 1 matches the gear pressure angle, which conforms to standard GB / T2821-2003.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, when machining a single tooth, the tooth blank 2 rotates by an angle of σ°, and after the disc tooth end mill 1 moves a distance of κ, the single tooth can be machined. κ is the straight-line distance that the disc tooth end mill moves to machine one tooth, and σ is the angle of rotation of the tooth blank to machine one tooth.

[0031] Let the module be m, the number of teeth be z, the pitch circle circumference be S, л be 3.1415, and the time for the tooth blank 2 to rotate one revolution be t. Then: S = mzл, the linear motion speed of the disc toothed milling cutter υ1 = S / t = mzл / t, and the angular velocity at the pitch circle of the tooth blank θ = 2л / t.

[0032] The mid-circular cylindrical gear of this invention does not belong to the national standard series of gears, but its tooth profile fully conforms to the involute generating principle (the tooth profile at the center line of the tooth width is the standard tooth profile).

[0033] The double helical gear can be replaced, the process is good, the manufacturing cost is low, although there is no special gear manufacturing equipment, the numerical control milling equipment can be modified, with the product application market formed, the special gear manufacturing equipment can be made into a new type of special gear manufacturing equipment according to the forming principle. The innovative structure gear can also be ground, only the tooth profile milling cutter is replaced by a disc type tooth profile grinding wheel (such as Figure 7 ), and other operations and milling principles are the same.
