AI Technical Summary
Existing gear shaft parts suffer from insufficient precision during gear machining, especially due to the gap between the tooling and the teeth of the part, which leads to inconsistent machining accuracy between different batches of parts, increasing costs and operational complexity.
The alignment fixture, which uses a variable tooth thickness internal gear ring and a correction surface, ensures self-adaptive fit between the part and the fixture through zero-backlash fit and tapered progressive positioning. The positioning height is adjusted by using a positioning plate and shims to achieve zero-backlash circumferential positioning.
It improves the machining accuracy and production efficiency of gear shaft parts, reduces tooling manufacturing costs, adapts to dimensional changes in different batches of parts, and reduces the workload of operation and adjustment.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, and relates to a gear shaft part machining gear alignment method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the design of gear shaft parts, in order to meet the transmission and connection requirements, there are usually double gears, triple gears or multiple gears on one part, and in order to meet the transmission accuracy requirements, there are also strict position relationship requirements between the gears, which are usually represented by the position deviation of the two gear tooth grooves or tooth tips on the drawing with an accuracy of less than a few minutes of return difference index. Sometimes the high-precision gear alignment requirements are even higher, reaching below one minute of return difference index.
[0003] In actual processing, in order to ensure the position relationship of the two gears, a special gear alignment tooling is usually needed, and the position of the gear is indirectly aligned by the tooling. The commonly used gear alignment tooling in the gear cutting process is a straight gear meshing type gear alignment tooling, that is, a straight gear tooling is made to mesh with the part gear in the form of a spline to fix the position of the part. The shaft part structure is shown in Figure 1 , which includes a machined gear 1 and a to-be-processed gear 2. The straight gear meshing type gear alignment tooling is shown in Figure 2 . The machined gear 1 and the straight gear meshing type gear alignment tooling 3 are positioned by spline cooperation. In order to ensure the smooth meshing of the tooling and the gear part, there must be a certain difference between the tooling and the gear part, which will cause a gap between the tooling and the gear part when they are meshed, as shown in Figure 3 , affecting the final gear alignment accuracy and failing to meet the high-precision gear alignment requirements. At the same time, because of the tolerance of the gear thickness, the meshing gap between the tooling and the gear part of different batches is different, which will cause the processing accuracy of different batches of parts to be different, and in severe cases, the tooling cannot be used and needs to be re-made. Especially when processing batch products, the gear part and tooling gap cooperation tolerances of each batch and each part are not completely the same, and a corresponding tooling matching the gap cannot be made for each part. This will increase the cost of part processing and tooling manufacturing, which is very uneconomical, and will also increase the workload of the operator for processing adjustment, reducing the production efficiency. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to solve the gear alignment accuracy problem of the gear shaft part, and to provide a gear shaft part machining gear alignment method.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:
[0006] A gear shaft part machining gear alignment method, a positioning tooling is sleeved on a to-be-processed part, a variable-thickness internal gear ring is arranged in the positioning tooling, and a correction surface is arranged on the outer circle of the variable-thickness internal gear ring.
[0007] The two ends of the variable-thickness inner gear ring are divided into a large end face and a small end face according to the size of the tooth thickness value, the tooth thickness of the variable-thickness inner gear ring gradually decreases from the large end face to the small end face, the tooth thickness value of the machined tooth on the part is within the tooth thickness variation range of the variable-thickness inner gear ring; when the part is clamped, the machined tooth is placed into the inner gear ring from the small end face of the variable-thickness inner gear ring, so that the machined tooth is in the variable-thickness inner gear ring and forms a gapless fit with the variable-thickness inner gear ring; the machine tool is operated to correct the position through the correction face, so as to determine the relative position of the machined tooth in the machine tool, thereby determining the initial position of the to-be-machined tooth, and realizing the tooth alignment of the to-be-machined tooth and the machined tooth.
[0008] Further, a positioning disc is arranged at the bottom of the alignment tool, the positioning disc is in contact with the end face of the to-be-machined part, the end face of the to-be-machined part is positioned, and the gear is supported by the end face during gear insertion.
[0009] Further, a gasket is arranged between the positioning disc and the alignment tool, the gasket with a thickness corresponding to the tooth thickness of the machined tooth is selected to adjust the relative position of the alignment tool and the machined tooth, so that the machined tooth is in gapless fit with the variable-thickness inner gear ring of the alignment tool.
[0010] Further, the correction face of the alignment tool and the variable-thickness inner gear ring are machined through one-time clamping.
[0011] Further, the tooth thickness variation law of the variable-thickness inner gear ring is that, for each increase of 1 mm in the tooth width of the variable-thickness inner gear ring, the tooth thickness is increased by no more than 0.005 mm.
[0012] Further, the alignment tool is installed on the positioning disc through a connecting screw.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0014] According to the characteristics that the tooth thickness of the variable-thickness gear is continuously changed on the tooth width section, there is always a section that can be in gapless fit with the machined tooth within the tooth width range of the variable-thickness inner gear ring, the part and the tool can be self-adaptively gapless fitted through the tapered progressive fit, the circumferential gapless positioning is realized, the positioning error caused by the fitting gap is avoided, and the positioning height can be adjusted through the gasket according to the batch size variation of the to-be-machined part, so that the same tool can meet the machining use of different batches.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The present application is a kind of gear shaft parts processing gear method, in the parts to be machined sleeve installation a alignment tool 4, alignment tool 4 is provided with variable tooth thickness inner gear 41, in the outer circle of variable tooth thickness inner gear is provided with correction surface 42;Variable tooth thickness inner gear 41 two ends are divided into large end face, small end face according to the size of tooth thickness value, the tooth thickness of variable tooth thickness inner gear 41 from large end face to small end face is from big to small, the tooth thickness value of the tooth 1 already machined on the part is within the range of tooth thickness change of variable tooth thickness inner gear;When clamping the part, the tooth 1 already machined is put into the inner gear from the small end face of variable tooth thickness inner gear 41, so that the tooth 1 already machined is in the variable tooth thickness inner gear 41, and forms a no gap fit with the variable tooth thickness inner gear 41;The machine tool is operated to correct the position through the correction surface 42, so as to determine the relative position of the tooth 1 already machined in the machine tool, thereby determining the initial position of the tooth 2 to be machined, realizing the gear of the tooth 2 to be machined and the tooth 1 already machined.
[0028] A positioning disc 5 is arranged at the bottom of the alignment tool 4, and the alignment tool 4 is installed on the positioning disc 5 through connecting screws 6. The positioning disc 5 is in contact with the end face of the part to be machined, and the end face of the part to be machined is positioned.
