The furnace temperature rises at a rate not greater than 100℃ / h. When the temperature reaches 350℃, keep it for 5 hours. Take out the workpiece 6 and place it on the platform. Do not allow the workpiece 6 to be suspended. After air cooling to complete cooling, proceed to subsequent processing.

[0082] 6, finish turning the shape and inner diameter

[0083] 1) turn the reference surface

[0084] Prepare the lathe tooling. Put the workpiece 6 stopper step 10 end face on the end face of the tooling rack 5, keep the workpiece 6 in free state, use the dial indicator to find the workpiece 6, use AB glue to bond the inner and outer diameters of the workpiece 6, and fix the workpiece 6 on the end face of the tooling rack 5. Wait for the AB glue to completely solidify. Process the end face of the workpiece 6. Note that this part can be processed multiple times according to the end face runout value. The cutting amount of each processing should not be greater than 0.2mm until the end face is smooth.

[0085] 2) Finish turning inner diameter and inner ring groove 7

[0086] Workpiece 6 is turned over and placed on the end face of tool holder 5 with the light side as the reference. Pressing plate 1 is combined with foot screw 4, and hexagonal socket head cap screw 2 and gaskets are used to evenly press workpiece 6. When locking the screw, it is tightened several times in a crosswise order, and the position of each pressing plate 1 is kept uniform during the pressing process. The inner diameter is finished to the size required by the drawing using an inner diameter turning tool. The blade is selected to be a 95-degree hard alloy boring tool, and the cutting parameters are: linear speed 120 m / min, feed value 0.08-0.1 mm / rev. The inner ring groove 7 is finished to the size required by the drawing using an inner cutting tool. The blade is selected to be a 3mm hard alloy inner cutting groove tool, and the cutting parameters are: linear speed 90 m / min, feed value 0.05-0.08 mm / rev.

[0087] 3) Finish turning outer diameter top end face

[0088] Pressing plate 1 is combined with foot screw 4 and installed on the side of inner ring groove 7. The arc surface of pressing plate 1 is tightly pressed against the inner diameter of inner ring groove 7. Hexagonal socket head cap screw 2 and gaskets are used to limit and press workpiece 6.

The blade is selected to be a 93-degree hard alloy outer diameter tool, and the cutting parameters are: linear speed 120 m / min, feed value 0.08-0.1 mm / rev. Outer ring groove 8 is processed to the size required by the drawing using an outer diameter arc groove tool. The blade is selected to be a R3 hard alloy outer diameter arc cutting groove tool, and the cutting parameters are: linear speed 90 m / min, feed value 0.05-0.08 mm / rev.

[0089] 4) Finish turning thickness size

[0090] Workpiece 6 is turned over and clamped again. Pressing plate 1, hexagonal socket head cap screw 2, and gaskets are used to press workpiece 6. End face turning tool is used to finish the thickness size of workpiece 6 to the drawing requirements. The main purpose of this step is to provide a high-precision reference surface for the tooth machining process, which corresponds to one-time forming. Multiple repeated machining is also beneficial to reduce the stress generated during the turning process. In the finishing process, in order to avoid large cutting stress during turning, the cutting depth is gradually reduced from 1mm to 0.5mm, and finally to 0.2mm for finishing.

[0091] 7, Double-sided end face tooth and hole machining

[0092] 1) Face tooth copy tool design: According to the tooth profile requirements of the drawing, two kinds of copy tools are designed: 20° copy milling cutter (the opening angle of the axial cross-section blade is 20°), 30° copy milling cutter (the opening angle of the axial cross-section blade is 30°). The characteristics are the shape and precision of the tool blade, which are designed according to the shape and precision requirements of the tooth in the drawing. When machining the tooth profile, rely on the copy tool to complete the machining once, which can effectively ensure the size precision and roughness requirements of the tooth surface. The tool edge is designed with spiral blade to increase the edge strength, improve the chip removal effect, and prevent the workpiece from being damaged due to tool edge collapse.

[0093] 2) Positioning pin design: According to the hole diameter of the drawing, the positioning pin is designed, which is characterized by positioning through the hole diameter and hole chamfer. The center of the pin and the center of the hole are completely coincident, which ensures the clamping accuracy after turning over.

[0094] 3) 144 face tooth processing

[0095] The work is placed on the five-axis machining center, the machine tool model is UCP1150, and the tool holder 5 is fastened on the workbench. At the same time, the end face of the workpiece 6 is leveled, and the milling cutter is used if necessary. Place the workpiece 6 on the tool holder 5, so that the center of the workpiece 6 and the center of the workbench are completely coincident, the inner cavity is positioned, and the stop step 10 is clamped upward. According to the cross order, tighten the inner hexagonal screw 2 several times one by one, and make sure that the position of each pressure plate 1 is uniformly stressed during the pressing process to ensure the pressing. Before and after pressing, check the runout of the inner circumference, outer diameter and upper surface of the workpiece 6 with a dial indicator and record the data. Use ordinary milling cutter and 30° copy milling cutter to mill 144 face tooth profile by rough and fine machining. The milling cutter diameter gradually roughens from D12 to D4, and finally a 0.5mm margin is reserved on one side for fine machining with a 30° copy milling cutter.

[0096] 4) Hole processing

[0097] After the 144 face tooth processing is completed, the workpiece 6 is kept clamped, and the hole is processed according to the size requirements of the drawing. In order to avoid the generation of large cutting stress during the hole processing, the hole should be drilled several times with multiple drills, and finally a 0.3mm margin is fine-milled with a milling cutter. After processing, loosen the inner hexagonal screw 2 and remove the pressure plate 1.

[0098] 5) 216 face tooth processing

[0099] The fixture is unchanged, and the workpiece 6 is clamped and turned over. The clamping and turning over before this time are unchanged at 0° and 180°, and the positions of 90° and 270° are interchanged. The position of C0 on the workpiece 6 coincides with the position of C0 before turning over. Thus, the position of C0 corresponds to the center of the tooth peak of the straight tooth, the center of the tooth groove viewed from the inside of the helical tooth, and the center of the hole of Ф5.2. The positioning pins are installed at the four positions of 0°, 180°, 90°, and 270°. The workpiece 6 is placed in the ring groove on the fixture frame 5, the inner cavity is positioned, the 144 end face teeth are clamped downward, the inner hexagonal screws 2 are tightened one by one in cross order multiple times, the position of each pressing plate 1 is uniformly stressed during pressing, and the pressing is ensured. Before and after pressing, the runout of the inner circumference, the outer diameter, and the upper surface of the workpiece 6 is checked by using a dial gauge, and the data is recorded. The 216 end face teeth are rough and finished milled by using a milling cutter and a 20° profile milling cutter. The ordinary milling cutter is gradually rough machined from D12 to D4, and finally a 0.5 mm allowance is reserved on one side to use the 20° profile milling cutter for finishing. Since 360 / 216=1.66666•••, it is an infinite cycle. The minimum angular unit of the C-axis of the workbench is 0.001°. In order to prevent serious overcutting of the last few teeth and the correctness of all tooth shapes and tolerances, the tooth distribution is arranged according to the method of every 5° three teeth (1.667+1.667+1.666=5). During the processing of the double-sided end face teeth, special attention is paid to the arrangement of the processing sequence. Each processing program is sequentially processed by jumping the area at 0°, 180°, 90°, and 270°, so as to ensure that the cutting force is uniformly distributed during processing, and to avoid deformation of the workpiece 6 due to cutting stress concentration. By relying on the indexing rotation function of the C-axis of the workbench, the workpiece to be processed is kept at the C0 angle, the cutter is processed in a small fixed range, and the influence of the positioning accuracy and the repeat positioning accuracy error of each axis of the machine tool on the tooth shape accuracy is reduced. After processing is completed, it is detected that all dimensions of the tooth ring meet the requirements of the drawing, and the processing procedure is completed.

[0100] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present application, and these should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
