Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing fixtures, in particular to a device for group processing locking block grooves of synchronizer gear seat parts on a numerically controlled milling machine. Background Art

[0002] Since its introduction, synchronizers have been widely praised by riders. Transmissions with synchronizers offer numerous advantages, including easy shifting, flexible operation, and low noise. The lock ring inertia synchronizer, a widely used synchronizer, is primarily composed of a lock ring, a gear holder, a lock block, and a gear sleeve. During gear shifting, the shift handle operates the shift fork, pushing the gear sleeve to move. The gear sleeve then drives the lock block along the lock block groove. The lock block presses against the notch in the lock ring, creating friction between the lock ring and the front conical surface of the gear to be engaged, causing the gear sleeve to increase or decrease speed. When the lock ring and the gear ring to be engaged are instantly synchronized, the gear sleeve passes over the lock block and engages with the engaging teeth, completing the gear shift smoothly. The outer splines of the tooth adapter have three locking block grooves for accommodating the three locking blocks. The locking blocks are pushed outward by an annular spring into the grooves of the inner spline holes of the coupling sleeve. The inner end of the coupling sleeve has internal splines and three circumferential grooves that mate with the central protrusion of the locking blocks, allowing the locking blocks to move left and right through the coupling sleeve. This shows that the locking block grooves of the tooth adapter not only accommodate the locking blocks but also provide guidance for their movement.

[0003] When processing the locking block groove of the gear seat in the traditional way, multiple clampings are required to complete the processing of a part, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, costly, and inaccurate in positioning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a device for group machining locking block grooves for synchronizer gear adapter components on a CNC milling machine is shown. A machine tool indexing head 101 and a machine tool hydraulic cylinder 102 are fixedly mounted on a workbench. The turntable of the machine tool indexing head 101 is aligned and concentric with the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 102. A spindle 112 is screwed to a connector 111, which is then screwed to the machine tool indexing head 101, forming a positioning mechanism 110.

[0026] like Figure 2 The clamping mechanism 120 shown in the figure has a pressure cylinder 121 which is sleeved with the cylinder body of the machine tool cylinder 102, one end of the pressure cylinder 121 is connected to the end cover 127 by a screw, the end cover 127 is connected to the cylinder piston rod by a thread, the other end of the pressure cylinder 121 is sleeved with the rotatable shaft 122, and the pressure pad 123 is connected to the outer end of the rotatable shaft 122 by a screw. The rotatable shaft 122 and the pressure cylinder 121 are connected by a bearing sleeve, allowing the rotatable shaft 122 to rotate under force. The end of the pressure cylinder 121 facing the positioning mechanism 110 extends radially toward the center of the circle to form a limit portion 128. The shaft body of the rotatable shaft 122 is located at the limit portion 128 and extends radially away from the center of the circle to form a blocking portion 129. The limit portion 128 and the blocking portion 129 are loosely matched. The bearing 124 is located at the end of the blocking portion 129, and the bearing 125 is located near the end of the shaft body of the rotatable shaft 122. The two ends of the support sleeve 126 are respectively closely connected to the outer rings of the bearings 124 and 125. The end cover 127 is provided with a support ring that abuts the outer ring of the bearing 125, effectively limiting the position of the bearings 124 and 125. The inner wall of the limit portion 128 is also provided with an annular groove, and a dust ring is provided in the annular groove to prevent impurities from entering.

[0027] The rotatable shaft 122 has a through hole, which is sleeved with the top 140. The rear end of the rotatable shaft 122 is connected to the plug 142 via a threaded connection. The plug 142 has an exhaust hole in the middle that is connected to the outside world. The pressure pad 123 has a hole in the middle for the head of the top 140 to pass through. A spring 141 is set between the tail of the top 140 and the plug 142. One end of the spring 141 presses against the plug 142, and the other end presses against the tail of the top 140, realizing the function of the top 13 floating under force and automatically retracting. The diameter of the opening in the middle of the pressure pad 123 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole in the rotatable shaft 122. The outer periphery of the top 140 is correspondingly set into a stepped shape, so that the pressure pad 123 can confine the main body of the top 140 within the rotatable shaft 122.

[0028] The gear alignment mechanism 130 includes a bracket 133 and an aligner 131. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the aligner 131 includes a mounting portion 134 and a tooth portion 135. The mounting portion 134 is provided with a rectangular boss 137, and the tooth portion 135 is provided with a wedge-shaped ridge 132. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 133 has a U-shaped structure and is provided with a through-going rectangular groove 136. The connector 111 is provided with a single rounded groove. The single rounded boss provided on the bracket 133 is tightly inserted into the single rounded groove of the connector 111. The connection is then tightened by screws, so that the axial centerline of the bracket 133 is parallel to the axial centerline of the connector 111. The rectangular boss 137 on the aligner 131 is tightly inserted into the rectangular groove 136 on the bracket 133, so that the axial centerline of the aligner 131 is parallel to the axial centerline of the bracket 133. The wedge-shaped ridge 132 has a V-shaped surface structure. The V-shaped surface structure presses against the tooth groove of the component without gap, so that the teeth of multiple components can be aligned.

[0029] In the device of the present invention, the tooth alignment mechanism 130 aligns the teeth of multiple gear holders 100, the clamping mechanism 120 clamps the gear holder 100 under the action of the machine tool cylinder 102, and the positioning mechanism 110 drives the gear holder 100 to rotate under the action of the machine tool dividing head 101, thereby realizing the function of clamping and processing the locking block groove of gear holder parts in groups on a CNC milling machine at one time.

[0030] The specific working principle of the positioning mechanism 110 is as follows: the gear seat parts are passed on the core shaft 112, and the teeth of the gear seat parts are first aligned by the gear mechanism 130, and then the axial and radial positioning of the gear seat parts is achieved through the squeezing of the clamping mechanism 120.

[0031] The specific operating principle of the clamping mechanism 120 is as follows: the machine tool cylinder 102 pushes and pulls the pressure cylinder 121, driving the clamping mechanism 120 to move left and right, achieving the clamping and loosening functions. The rotatable shaft 122 and the pressure cylinder 121 are connected by a bearing. When the part is in the clamped state and the machine tool indexing head 101 drives the part to rotate, the bearing enables the rotatable shaft 122 and the part to rotate.

[0032] The specific working principle of the gear alignment mechanism 130 is as follows: the gear seat parts are passed on the main shaft 112, and the rectangular boss 137 on the aligner 131 is tightly embedded in the rectangular groove 136 on the bracket 133. At the same time, the wedge-shaped ridges 132 on the aligner 131 press the two sides of the tooth grooves of each part on the main shaft 112. In the process of the wedge-shaped ridges 132 being squeezed downward, the teeth of multiple parts are aligned.

[0033] During use, first, the gear holder is inserted onto the spindle 112, and the rectangular boss 137 on the aligner 131 is tightly inserted into the rectangular groove 136 on the bracket 133. At the same time, the wedge-shaped ridges 132 on the aligner 131 press against both sides of the tooth grooves of each component on the spindle 112. During the downward squeezing process of the V-shaped surface of the wedge-shaped ridges 132, the teeth of multiple components are aligned. Then, the machine tool cylinder 102 pushes the pressing cylinder 121 toward the spindle 112. During the movement, the top 140 and the pressure pad 123 associated with the pressing cylinder 121 also move, pressing the spindle 112 and the component respectively. Under the pressing action of the top 140 on the center hole of the spindle 112, the concentricity of the spindle 112 and the machine tool dividing head 101 is improved, ensuring the consistency of the locking block groove of the processed component. Under the squeezing of the pressure pad 123 and the end face of the component, the axial and radial positioning of multiple components is achieved. Finally, as the turntable of the machine tool dividing head 101 drives the connector 111 to rotate, the parts associated with the connector 111 also rotate accordingly, realizing the processing of multiple equally divided locking block grooves of the parts, reducing the number of part clamping times, and improving the part processing efficiency.
