Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shaft grinding, and in particular relates to an automatic driving device for a gear shaft workpiece. Background Art

[0002] When grinding shaft parts, a clamping method of a lever and a heart-shaped chuck is generally used for driving. The heart-shaped chuck is first put on the shaft workpiece, and then the set screw is rotated to press the heart-shaped chuck against the outer cylindrical surface of the workpiece end. Finally, the lever is used to push the heart-shaped chuck to drive the workpiece to rotate. The disadvantage of this clamping method is that the shaft section where the heart-shaped chuck is installed cannot be ground. If the shaft section needs to be ground, the workpiece must be turned around, which results in a secondary clamping. For rotating parts, the coaxiality error caused by the secondary clamping is not applicable when the coaxiality requirements are very high. In addition, this method of clamping that relies on manual labor is time-consuming and difficult to meet the needs of automated processing.

[0003] For gear shaft workpieces among shaft parts, CN203679947U discloses a driving device that installs a driving ring on the gear segment and then drives it through a pin shaft. This is similar to the clamping method of a lever plus a heart-shaped chuck, and its shortcomings are also similar, making it difficult to meet the needs of automated processing.

[0004] CN114800084A discloses a precision machining method for an eccentric shaft, specifically a gear shaft. The proposed method improves the machining accuracy of the eccentric shaft segment by grinding the shaft neck. For such an eccentric shaft, machining errors in the gear shaft segment can cause dynamic imbalance during rotation, impacting the dynamic performance of the machine it is assembled in. This necessitates grinding the gear shaft segment's tooth tops.

[0005] In order to adapt to the current development of machining automation, it is necessary to develop an automatic workpiece driving device for gear shaft workpieces, which can not only grind other shaft segments excluding the gear shaft segment, but also grind the entire shaft segment including the gear shaft segment after certain adjustments when necessary.

[0018] The present invention arranges a composite bearing between the rotating shaft and the intermediate flange.

[0030] The driving device includes a pulley 14, a pair of centripetal thrust ball bearings 15, a rear end flange 13, a retaining ring 20, an adjustment gasket 21, an adjustment spacer 22 and a sealing ring 16. After the pulley 14 is provided with a bearing hole, it is supported on a stepped shaft neck provided on the base 19 through a pair of centripetal thrust ball bearings 15; the inner ring and outer ring of the pair of centripetal thrust ball bearings 15 are provided with an adjustment spacer 22; one end of the pulley 14 is positioned and connected to the rear end flange 13 by a screw relying on the built-in bearing hole to ensure that the rear end flange 13 is The center line and the center line of the pulley 14 are kept coincident, and the outer rings of the paired centripetal thrust ball bearings 15 are compressed; the outer end of the stepped shaft neck of the base 19 is provided with a groove, and a retaining spring 20 is installed in the groove. Under the action of the step shaft neck shoulder limit, the paired centripetal thrust ball bearings 15 are axially positioned by adjusting the gasket 21; a sealing ring 16 is provided on the right side of the pulley 14 relative to the installation position of the centripetal thrust ball bearing 15 to prevent dust and impurities such as grinding fluid from entering the centripetal thrust ball bearing 15, thereby ensuring the service life of the bearing.

[0031] The cam driving device includes a cam flange 2, an intermediate flange 7, a pin 3, a driving plate 4, an inner nut 5, a spacer 6, an outer sealing ring 8, an outer nut 9, an inner sealing ring 10, a composite bearing 11, and a rotating shaft 12. The right end face of the cam flange 2 is provided with a shaft shoulder, which is positioned and connected to the left end of the intermediate flange 7 by screws; the right end face of the intermediate flange 7 is provided with a shaft shoulder, which is positioned and connected to the left end of the rear end flange 13 by screws; a step hole is provided in the intermediate flange 7, and a composite bearing 11 is provided at the right end of the step hole. The composite bearing 11 can withstand radial force and axial force. The left end of the composite bearing 11 is positioned and fixed in the step hole of the intermediate flange 7 by the inner nut 5 and the spacer 6; the inner ring of the composite bearing 11 is positioned and installed with the rotating shaft 12, and the outer nut 9 is provided on the rotating shaft 12 to limit the axial position of the composite bearing, and the rotating shaft 12 can rotate relative to the intermediate flange 7; the left end of the rotating shaft 12 is positioned and installed with the driving disk 4, and multiple pins 3 are installed vertically on the outer circular end surface of the driving disk 4; an outer sealing ring 8 is provided between the driving disk 4 and the intermediate flange 7; an inner sealing ring 10 is provided between the rotating shaft 12 and the top 17; the number of pins 3 is more than 2.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner hole of the cam flange 2 is equipped with camming arcs equal in number to the number of pins 3. After the gear shaft workpiece 1 is hoisted between the headstock and tailstock, the center hole 23 provided at the shaft end and the tailstock tip are used to achieve centering of the gear shaft workpiece 1. The pins 3 are inserted into the tooth grooves of the gear shaft workpiece 1 according to the required number of teeth.

[0033] After processing begins, Figure 3 As shown, the pulley 14 starts to rotate, driving the cam flange 2 to rotate through the rear end flange 13 and the middle flange 7 in sequence; since the gear shaft workpiece 1 does not rotate, it passes through the driving disc 4, the rotating shaft 12 and the composite bearing 11 in sequence through the pin 3 to realize that the gap between the cam lift arc surface of the cam flange 2 and the pin 3 will become smaller and smaller, and eventually the cam lift arc surface will come into contact with the pin 3 to apply a force to the pin 3, and the driving disc 4 will drive the gear shaft workpiece 1 to rotate together. After grinding is completed, the pulley 14 stops rotating. Since the composite bearing 11 is installed inside the middle flange 7, the workpiece can rotate independently in the clamped state, so that the workpiece can be rotated in the stopped state for easy removal.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, a certain gap is set between the left end face of the cam flange 2 and the right end face of the gear shaft workpiece 1, and the outer diameter of the protruding shaft section of the pin shaft 3 is reduced so that the protruding shaft section of the pin shaft 3 can be embedded in the tooth top circle of the gear tooth groove of the gear shaft workpiece 1. In this way, a grinding wheel tool can be used to grind the tooth top circle surface of the gear of the gear shaft workpiece 1, so as to improve the processing accuracy of the entire gear shaft workpiece 1.
