Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of large circular knitting machines, and more particularly to a machining process for the combined rolling of large disc gears and large tripod gears on a double-sided large circular knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Both the large ding gear and the large disc gear are key components of a circular knitting machine, used to drive the upper needle plate and lower needle cylinder to move synchronously, thereby driving the upper and lower hook needles. When the circular knitting machine is working, it is necessary to ensure the concentricity and rotation angle consistency of the large ding gear and the large disc gear during synchronous operation. However, since the two gears are machined separately, there will be errors in the clamping roundness direction, machining errors of the workpiece itself, and clearance fit errors of the worm gear and worm of the gear hobbing machine. Therefore, after the large disc gear and the large ding gear are assembled, the synchronous correction and adjustment cannot meet the ideal requirements. Ultimately, this may cause deviations in the rotation angle and concentricity of the upper needle plate and the lower needle cylinder, thereby affecting the knitting needle action and reducing the quality of the fabric. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention provides a machining process for the combined hobbing of a large disc gear and a large ding gear on a double-sided large circular hobbing machine. By roughing and finishing the tooth surfaces of the large disc gear and the large ding gear on the hobbing machine, machining errors, geometric tolerances, clamping errors, and hobbing machine errors can be greatly reduced. This process also produces a uniform and good effect on the runout of the tip circles and the length of the common normal of the two gears.

Tighten the nuts symmetrically on the left and right sides one by one. After tightening, if the upper and lower dial indicators do not change, start gear rolling.

[0011] Step 4: Remove burrs after completion.

[0012] Furthermore, the clearance between the inner hole of the large gear and the boss of the central positioning fixture is 0.02mm-0.03mm.

[0023] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 As shown:

[0024] A machining process for the combined rolling of a large disc gear and a large tripod gear on a double-sided large circular milling machine includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: The tooling 10 is rolled out onto the worktable 50 of the gear hobbing machine. The outer diameter and flatness of the tooling 10 are adjusted to within 0.01mm and locked in the center of the worktable 50. The bottom of the tooling 10 is provided with a through hole 11 for fixed connection with the worktable 50. When adjusting the outer diameter of the tooling 10, the central axis of the tooling 10 coincides with the central rotation axis of the worktable 50. When the flatness is calibrated to within 0.01mm, it can rotate synchronously with the worktable 50. The top of the tooling 10 is machined with a boss 12 that mates with the central inner hole of the large gear 20.

[0026] Step Two: Adjust the outer diameter of the large disc gear 40 to within 0.01mm to ensure coaxial rotation with the worktable 50 and fixture 10. Then, gently place the gear washer 30 onto the outer upper surface boss of the large disc gear 40. Next, align the inner hole of the large tripod gear 20 with the boss 12 of the center positioning fixture, ensuring a tight contact between the bottom outer side of the large tripod gear 20 and the gear washer 30. The gear washer 30 prevents interference when the large disc gear 40 and the large tripod gear 20 overlap, and also prevents interference between the large disc gear 40 and the large tripod gear 20. The direct overlap of the ding gear 20 affects the end face quality. Further, a tight contact connection is achieved through the gear washer 30. Compared with screw fixing and other methods, this can effectively reduce the lateral force on the large disc gear 40 and the large ding gear 20, and avoid affecting the roundness of the gears. The direct stacking method can ensure that the large disc gear 40 and the large ding gear 20 are only subjected to longitudinal pressure during positioning, which can improve positioning accuracy and roundness. Moreover, after fixing in subsequent steps, it will not affect the circular runout value of the large disc gear 40 and the large ding gear 20, effectively improving consistency.

[0027] Step 3: Place several clamping pads 17 on the outer side of the upper end of the large gear 20. Preferably, place the clamping pads 17 at 8 evenly distributed positions on the outer side of the upper end of the large gear 20. Press the clamping plate 16 onto the clamping pads 17. The end of the clamping plate 16 away from the clamping pads 17 is fitted onto the fixing rod 14 vertically set on the worktable 50. The fixing rod 14 is threaded with a nut 15 located above the clamping plate 16. Lightly tighten the nut 15. The clamping plate 16 is horizontally arranged. Since there will be a certain step between the outer side and the middle of the upper end of the large gear 20, multiple clamping pads 17 can also be placed at the same position to ensure that the clamping plate 16 remains horizontal. After raising the clamping plate 16 to a horizontal position, align the two magnetic gauges with the dial indicator at the same position on the upper and lower sides of the large disc gear 40 and the large tripod gear 20, and check that their runout is within 0.01mm. Tighten the nuts 15 symmetrically one by one. After tightening, the upper and lower dial indicator runout does not change, and start gear hobbing. By lightly tightening the nuts 15, the influence of the downward pressure on the large disc gear 40 and the large tripod gear 20 is reduced, avoiding errors in gear flatness. This facilitates adjustment. At the same time, lightly tightening first can improve the calibration accuracy and facilitate adjustment. Since the fixation is done by applying vertical downward pressure, light tightening can simulate the force state after tightening, improving the calibration accuracy. Meanwhile, one end of the clamping plate 16 is sleeved on the fixed rod 14 and tightened by the nut 15. The clamping plate 16 is used to apply downward pressure to the clamping pad 17 by its elasticity, which effectively controls the magnitude of the downward pressure and avoids deformation of the large ding gear 20 caused by the hard connection. The elastic soft connection of the present invention can provide a purer downward pressure and reduce the impact of the hard connection on the large ding gear 20.

[0028] Step 4: Remove burrs after completion.

[0029] Furthermore, the clearance between the inner hole of the large gear and the boss of the central positioning fixture is 0.02mm-0.03mm.

[0030] Furthermore, step four also includes marking the same location after completion.

[0031] This invention utilizes a new processing technology to rough and finish roll the tooth surfaces of large disc gears and large tripod gears on a gear hobbing machine. This can greatly reduce machining errors, geometric tolerances, clamping errors, and gear hobbing machine errors. It can also produce a uniform and good effect on the runout of the tip circle and the length of the common normal of the two gears, greatly improving the accuracy. It also makes the synchronous debugging of large disc gear 40 and large tripod gear 20 much smoother.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
