[0035] A large suspension depth, small diameter double gear pinion gear grinding tool bar design method, through the hierarchical design principle, based on the clamping method of spring collet to get the design method of universal tool bar; including adapter handle, spring collet, locking nut, fast-changing tool bar, repairable grinding wheel, gasket, compression nut, the adapter handle is connected with the machine tool at one end and the tool bar at the other end; the tool bar is divided into clamping part, suspension depth part and connecting part, the clamping part extends into the adapter handle to realize stable connection with the handle, and the connecting part is used for cooperation with the grinding wheel to make the grinding wheel and the tool bar integrated.

[0036] Break the traditional thinking, increase the adapter handle between the machine tool and the tool bar, the adapter handle is connected with the machine tool at one end and the tool bar at the other end, the same handle can clamp different tool bars, and provides the basis for the quick change of the tool bar.

[0037] The tool holder uses a spring clip to clamp the tool shank, which facilitates quick tool shank replacement and effectively saves preparation time.

[0038] The tool holder can be freely adjusted in length, and the appropriate length can be selected according to actual needs. The same tool holder can process different parts, making it highly versatile.

[0039] The diameter and shape of the tool holder can be flexibly designed to adapt to parts with different structures, especially suitable for small hollow helical gears, and can be designed as a concave tool holder for machining.

[0040] The nut is designed as a self-locking nut, which ensures that the grinding wheel does not loosen during the grinding process and increases grinding safety.

[0041] Before assembling the tool holder, dynamic balancing is required, with a dynamic imbalance of ≤0.5g.mm, to ensure that the tool holder does not wobble when running at high speed.

[0042] The tool holder is designed with high-strength materials, with an overall hardness requirement of HRC60 or higher, to enhance the rigidity of the tool holder, reduce the elastic deformation generated when the grinding wheel rotates at high speed, and reduce the vibration of the grinding wheel.

[0043] The method of this invention, based on the principle of hierarchical design and the clamping method of spring clips, obtains a design method for a universal tool holder. This method can complete the grinding of gears with large overhang and small diameter using simple clamping tools, solving the problems of complex design, frequent replacement, and long preparation cycle of grinding tool holders. Applying the method of this invention, it is possible to achieve rapid changeover of grinding tool holders, flexible processing, short preparation time, and strong versatility. It is particularly suitable for single-piece batch production and can effectively reduce processing costs.

[0044] 1. Determine the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel. For example... Figure 3 As shown, during grinding with a grinding wheel, the feed rate L1 of the grinding wheel center relative to the end face of the pinion must be considered to ensure that the teeth at the feed point are completely ground, without any concavity, convexity, or unacceptable tooth profile errors. Simultaneously, the safe distance between the outer edge of the grinding wheel and the end face of the large gear should also be considered to ensure that the outer edge of the grinding wheel does not interfere with the end face of the large gear during the feed and retraction process. The formula for calculating the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel is:

[0045] Dmax=(L-L1-L2)*2 Formula 1

[0046] Where Dmax is the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel.

[0047] L—Distance between the large and small gears

[0048] L1—Output

[0049] L2—Safe Distance

[0050] The distance L between the large gear and the pinion in this example is 21.5 mm, the tool removal amount L1 is set to 1 mm, and the safety distance L2 is set to 1 mm. By substituting the above values into formula 1 mm, the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel is obtained as follows:

[0051] Dmax=(21.5-1-1)*2=39mm.

[0052] 2. Determine the maximum diameter of the tool bar. As shown in Figure 4 , the maximum diameter of the tool bar is related to the whole tooth height of the pinion, the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel, the safety height of the grinding wheel dressing, and the reserved dressing amount. The calculation formula of the maximum diameter of the tool bar is as follows:

[0053] Lmax=Dmax-2*(H+H1+H2) Formula 2

[0054] Where Lmax is the maximum diameter of the tool bar

[0055] Dmax is the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel

[0056] H is the whole tooth height

[0057] H1 is the safety height

[0058] H2 is the reserved dressing amount

[0059] In this example, the outer diameter of the pinion is φ127.45 mm, and the root diameter is φ116.15 mm. Therefore, the whole tooth height H is (127.45-116.15) / 2=5.65 mm. The safety height H1 is set to 2 mm, and the reserved dressing amount H2 is set to 2 mm. Therefore, the maximum diameter of the tool bar is 39-2*(5.65+2+2)=19.7 mm

[0060] 3. Determine the minimum suspension depth length of the tool bar. The suspension depth length of the tool bar has many influencing factors. According to the geometric size of the part to be processed, the structure diagram of the grinding gear (as shown in Figure 6 ) can be drawn by projecting the part from the small teeth to the large teeth direction. It is ensured that the grinding wheel and the grinding wheel adapter bar (mainly concentrated on the outer diameter position of the installation end surface) do not interfere with any part of the part during simulation. In the plane of the large gear end surface, the following geometric relationship diagram, Figure 5 , the triangle.

[0061] The calculation formula of the minimum suspension depth of the tool bar can be derived as follows

[0062] Formula 3

[0063] Where L 悬min is the minimum suspension depth of the tool bar

[0064] R 小 is the root radius of the pinion

[0065] L is the distance between the large gear and the pinion

[0066] L1—Output

[0067] L2—Safe Distance

[0068] H2—Reserved trimming allowance

[0069] R 刀柄 —Locking nut radius

[0070] R 大 — Radius of the tip circle of the large gear

[0071] L3—Grinding wheel thickness

[0072] In this example, the root circle radius R of the pinion is... 小 The diameter is 58.075mm, the distance L between the large and small gears is 21.5mm, the cutting depth L1 is set to 1mm, the safety distance L2 is set to 1mm, the allowable dressing amount H2 is set to 2mm, the locking nut radius R, the tool holder is φ10.5mm, and the large gear addendum circle radius R 大 With R121.475mm and grinding wheel thickness L3 of 10mm, the minimum overhang depth of the tool holder can be obtained as 97.57mm by substituting into the formula.

[0073] 4. Determine the total length of the tool holder. For example... Figure 7 The exploded view of the quick-change tool holder is shown. The formula for calculating the total length of the tool holder is also provided.

[0074] L 刀总 =L 夹持 +L 悬min +L 连接 Formula 4

[0075] Among them, L 刀总 —Total length of the tool holder, L 夹持 —Length of the tool holder clamping section, L 悬min —Minimum overhang length of the tool holder, L 连接 —Length of the tool holder connection section.

[0076] In this example, the length of the clamping part is set to 40mm; the minimum overhang length is calculated as 97.57mm according to Part 3; the length of the connecting part is the sum of the thickness of the selected grinding wheel, the thickness of the shim, and the thickness of the locking nut, set to 10+4+8=22mm; substituting into Formula 4, we can obtain the total length of the tool holder as 40+97.57+22=159.57mm.

[0077] 5. Select appropriate outer diameters for the clamping nut and washer. These should be determined based on the inner diameter of the grinding wheel, the maximum diameter of the grinding wheel, and the maximum diameter of the tool holder. Generally, the washer diameter should be equal to the tool holder diameter, and the outer diameter of the clamping nut should be smaller than the washer diameter.

[0078] 6. The tool holder shall be dynamically balanced. The dynamic imbalance shall be ≤0.3g.mm. If it is not qualified, it is allowed to remove weight in the non-clamping area and non-fitting area. The weight removal position shall be smoothly transitioned and polished.

[0079] 7. Assemble the tool holder, according to... Figure 2 conduct.

Based on a hierarchical design principle and a spring-coil clamping method, a universal tool holder design is obtained.

[0082] 2. The tool holder uses a spring clip to clamp the tool bar, which facilitates quick tool bar replacement and effectively saves preparation time.

[0083] 3. The tool holder can be freely adjusted in length, and the appropriate length can be selected according to actual needs. The same tool holder can process different parts, making it highly versatile.

[0084] 4. The tool holder is divided into a clamping part, a cantilever part, and a connecting part. The clamping part extends into the adapter tool holder to achieve a stable connection with the tool holder. The connecting part is used to mate with the grinding wheel, making the grinding wheel and the tool holder an integral unit, which can balance flexibility and rigidity. The diameter and shape of the tool holder can be flexibly designed to adapt to parts with different structures, especially suitable for small hollow helical gears, and can be designed as a concave tool holder for machining.

[0085] 5. The nut is designed as a self-locking nut, which can ensure that the grinding wheel does not loosen during the grinding process and increase grinding safety.

[0086] 6. The tool holder must be dynamically balanced before assembly, with a balance accuracy of ≤0.5g.mm, to ensure that the tool holder does not wobble when running at high speed.

[0087] 7. The tool holder is designed with high-strength materials, with an overall hardness requirement of HRC60 or higher, to enhance the rigidity of the tool holder, reduce the elastic deformation generated when the grinding wheel rotates at high speed, and reduce the vibration of the grinding wheel.
