Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of mechanical clamps, and particularly to a gear clamping and feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Gears and gear products are important basic components of mechanical equipment. The main transmission components of most complete sets of mechanical equipment are gear drives.

[0003] Gear hobbing machines can only perform up-and-down and rotational movements during gear hobbing. The up-and-down movement is a fixed-point movement (with only two upper and lower limits, which cannot be adjusted), and the rotational movement is limited to 180 degrees, with no arbitrary angle adjustment possible. During the entire gear hobbing process, the semi-finished gear needs to be rotated before further processing can begin. Since the already processed teeth need protection, manual rotation of the gears is currently used, resulting in low production efficiency, especially for large gears. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gear clamp that uses opposing outer circle clamping blocks to hold the outer circle of the gear or opposing end face support clamping blocks to support and hold the end face of the gear, and rotates under the action of the feeding mechanism to rotate the gear and improve production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A gear clamp includes two height adjustment components and two width adjustment components. One end of each height adjustment component is connected to a feeding mechanism. The width adjustment components are slidably connected to the lower end of each height adjustment component. Both width adjustment components are connected to opposing outer circular clamping blocks or opposing end face support clamping blocks, and both form two opposing V-shaped structures.

[0007] The present invention, employing the aforementioned scheme, connects one end of the height adjustment component to the feeding mechanism and slidably connects the width adjustment component to the lower end of the height adjustment component. This facilitates the clamping of gears with different diameters, improving the clamp's versatility. Furthermore, by connecting opposing outer circular clamping blocks or opposing end-face support clamping blocks to both width adjustment components, the opposing outer circular clamping blocks form two opposing V-shaped structures on the two width adjustment components to clamp the outer circle of the gear, or the opposing end-face support clamping blocks form two opposing V-shaped structures on the two width adjustment components to support and clamp the gear end face. Under the action of the feeding mechanism, the gear rotates, improving production efficiency. It also facilitates clamping gears according to different gear process requirements, preventing damage to the gears during clamping and ensuring gear quality.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a connecting block, one end of which is used to connect to the feeding mechanism, and the other end is slidably connected to the height adjustment component.

[0009] In this way, by setting up a connecting block, it is easy to connect the height adjustment block to the feeding mechanism, thereby increasing the strength of the connection point. The connecting block also allows the height adjustment block to be located outside the feeding mechanism, preventing interference between the height adjustment block and the feeding mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the height adjustment component includes a height adjustment block and a clamping block. The connecting block has a through hole, and the clamping block has a waist-shaped through hole for a bolt to pass through. The bolt passes through the waist-shaped through hole and is threadedly connected to the connecting block to connect the clamping block to the connecting block. The height adjustment block is located on one side of the through hole, and the clamping block extends into the through hole and abuts against the height adjustment block to connect the height adjustment block to the connecting block.

[0011] In this way, by forming a through hole on the connecting block and a waist-shaped through hole for bolts to pass through on the clamping block, it is easy to adjust the position of the clamping block in the through hole of the connecting block through the waist-shaped through hole. It is also easy to adjust the clamping block so that the structure of the clamping block extending into the through hole abuts against the height adjustment block, and the height adjustment block is abutted against and connected to the connecting block. This facilitates the adjustment of the connection point between the height adjustment block and the connecting block, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the clamping height. This allows the clamp to clamp gears at different clamping points, improving versatility.

[0012] Preferably, the height adjusting block is L-shaped, with a first inclined portion formed on the vertical section of the L-shape. The pressing block is 7-shaped, with a second inclined portion parallel to the first inclined portion formed on the vertical section of the 7-shape. A protruding ridge inclined towards the center of the hole is formed on the sidewall of the through hole. A groove that matches the protruding ridge is formed on the side of the height adjusting block away from the first inclined portion. The second inclined portion can abut against the first inclined portion to connect the height adjusting block to the connecting block.

[0013] In this way, by forming parallel first and second inclined portions on both the height adjusting block and the clamping block, it is convenient to adjust the position of the clamping block against the height adjusting block, thereby adjusting the connection point position of the height adjusting block relative to the connecting block, achieving the effect of adjusting the clamping height. This allows the clamp to clamp gears at different clamping points, improving versatility. Furthermore, a protruding ridge inclined towards the center of the hole is formed on the side wall of the through hole, and a groove that mates with the protruding ridge is formed on the side of the height adjusting block away from the first inclined portion. This facilitates the interaction between the protruding ridge and the groove, increasing the friction between them, preventing displacement of the height adjusting block during use, ensuring the strength and height of the connection point, and making the first and second inclined portions parallel to each other, increasing the contact area between them, further enhancing the friction, and ensuring the strength and height of the connection point.

[0014] Preferably, a groove is formed on the horizontal part of the height adjustment block, and a clamping block is slidably connected in the groove. The end of the clamping block away from the groove is connected to the outer circular clamping block or the end face support clamping block by bolts.

[0015] In this way, by forming a groove on the height adjustment block, it is easy to connect with the clamping block through the groove, and connect the outer circle clamping block or the end face support clamping block to the other end of the clamping block, forming a clamping arm through the clamping block to clamp the gear.

[0016] Preferably, a slide rail is formed in the groove, a slider is formed on the clamping block, the slider cooperates with the slide rail, a threaded hole is formed on the side wall of the groove, and a locking screw cooperates with the threaded hole to abut against the clamping block in the groove.

[0017] This allows the distance between the two clamping blocks to be adjusted according to the gear diameter by cooperating with the slider and the slide rail. When the blocks are slid to the appropriate position, they can be locked in place by the locking screw.

[0018] Preferably, the end of the clamping block away from the height adjustment block has a V-shaped portion, and both sides of the V-shaped portion are connected to the outer circular clamping block or the end face support clamping block by bolts.

[0019] In this way, by forming a V-shaped part at the end of the clamping block away from the height adjustment block, and connecting both sides of the V-shaped part to the outer circle clamping block or the end face support clamping block by bolts, the two support points of the two outer circle clamping blocks or the end face support clamping blocks are on the same circle, so that the two clamping blocks clamp the gear.

[0020] Preferably, a rectangular inclined plate is formed on the outer circular clamping block, and a connecting portion is formed on the rear side of the inclined plate. A U-shaped groove is formed on the connecting portion, and a bolt is connected to the V-shaped portion by connecting the U-shaped groove and the threaded hole on the V-shaped portion to connect the outer circular clamping block to the V-shaped portion.

[0021] This facilitates the connection between the connecting part and the V-shaped part, improving the strength and rigidity of the connection point. A U-shaped groove is provided on the connecting part, which allows the bolt to be connected to the outer circle clamp on the V-shaped part through the U-shaped groove. The gear outer circumference is also clamped by an inclined rectangle.

[0022] Preferably, a rectangular inclined plate is formed on the end face support clamping block, and a connecting part is formed on the rear side of the inclined plate. A U-shaped groove is formed on the connecting part. The bolt is connected to the outer circle clamp on the V-shaped part through the U-shaped groove and the threaded hole on the V-shaped part. A support part is formed on the front side of the inclined plate, and the support part abuts against the end face of the gear.

[0023] This design facilitates connection between the connecting part and the V-shaped part, enhancing the strength and rigidity of the connection point. A U-shaped groove is provided on the connecting part, allowing the bolt to be connected to the outer circle clamp on the V-shaped part via the U-shaped groove. Furthermore, the support part abuts against the gear end face and prevents the gear from tipping over under the action of the tilting plate, thus achieving gear clamping.

[0024] To achieve the above objectives, a feeding mechanism is also provided, including the aforementioned gear clamp.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The height adjustment block is connected to the feeding mechanism via a connecting block, and the clamping block is slidably connected to the lower end of the height adjustment block. This facilitates the clamping of gears with different diameters, improving the clamping's versatility. Furthermore, by connecting opposing outer circular clamping blocks or opposing end-face support clamping blocks to each clamping block, two opposing V-shaped structures are formed on the opposing outer circular clamping blocks to hold the outer circle of the gear, or two opposing V-shaped structures are formed on the two clamping blocks by opposing end-face support clamping blocks, supporting and holding the gear end face. Under the action of the feeding mechanism, the gear rotates, improving production efficiency. It also facilitates clamping gears according to different gear requirements, preventing damage during clamping and ensuring gear quality. Through the serialized design of the clamping V-block, outer circular manipulator block, and end-face support block, the need for specialized components is reduced, achieving versatility and reducing the number of fixtures while also reducing operator debugging time.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this does not limit the invention to the scope of the embodiments described.

[0034] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: connecting block 1, height adjustment block 2, clamping part 21, first inclined part 22, clamping block 3, slide rail 31, locking screw 32, V-shaped part 33, pressing block 4, second inclined part 41, outer circle clamping block 5, connecting part 51, end face support clamping block 6, and support part 61.

[0035] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 7 As shown; a gear clamp includes two height adjustment components and two width adjustment components. One end of the height adjustment component is connected to a feeding mechanism, and the width adjustment component is slidably connected to the lower end of the height adjustment component. Both width adjustment components are connected to opposing outer circular clamping blocks 5 or opposing end face support clamping blocks 6.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes a connecting block 1, one end of which is used to connect to the feeding mechanism, and the other end is slidably connected to the height adjustment component. In this way, by setting the connecting block 1, it is easy to connect the height adjustment block 2 to the feeding mechanism, thereby increasing the strength of the connection point, and by using the connecting block 1, the height adjustment block 2 is located outside the feeding mechanism, preventing interference between the height adjustment block 2 and the feeding mechanism.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 4The height adjustment component includes a height adjustment block 2 and a clamping block 4. A through hole is formed on the connecting block 1, and a waist-shaped through hole is formed on the clamping block 4 for a bolt to pass through. The bolt passes through the waist-shaped through hole and is threadedly connected to the connecting block 1, thus connecting the clamping block 4 to the connecting block 1. The height adjustment block 2 is located on one side of the through hole, and the clamping block 4 extends into the through hole and abuts against the height adjustment block 2, thus connecting the height adjustment block 2 to the connecting block 1. By forming a through hole on the connecting block 1 and a waist-shaped through hole on the clamping block 4 for a bolt to pass through, it is convenient to adjust the position of the clamping block 4 within the through hole of the connecting block 1 through the waist-shaped through hole. It is also convenient to adjust the structure of the clamping block 4 extending into the through hole so that it abuts against the height adjustment block 2, thus connecting the height adjustment block 2 against the connecting block 1. This facilitates adjusting the connection point between the height adjustment block 2 and the connecting block 1, achieving the effect of adjusting the clamping height. This allows the clamp to clamp gears at different clamping points, improving versatility.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 4 The height adjusting block 2 is generally L-shaped, and a first inclined portion 22 is formed on the vertical section of the L-shape. The pressing block 4 is generally "7"-shaped, and a second inclined portion 41 parallel to the first inclined portion 22 is formed on the vertical section of the "7"-shaped block. A protruding ridge inclined towards the center of the hole is formed on the side wall of the through hole. A groove that matches the protruding ridge is formed on the side of the height adjusting block 2 away from the first inclined portion 22. The second inclined portion 41 can abut against the first inclined portion 22 to connect the height adjusting block 2 to the connecting block 1. By forming parallel first inclined portion 22 and second inclined portion 41 on both the height adjusting block 2 and the clamping block 4, it is convenient to adjust the position of the clamping block 4 against the height adjusting block 2, thereby adjusting the connection point position of the height adjusting block 2 relative to the connecting block 1, achieving the effect of adjusting the clamping height. This allows the clamp to clamp gears at different clamping points, improving versatility. Furthermore, a protruding ridge inclined towards the center of the hole is formed on the side wall of the through hole, and a groove that mates with the protruding ridge is formed on the side of the height adjusting block 2 away from the first inclined portion 22. This facilitates the interaction between the protruding ridge and the groove, increasing the friction between them, preventing displacement of the height adjusting block 2 during use, ensuring the strength and height of the connection point, and making the first inclined portion 22 and the second inclined portion 41 parallel, increasing the contact area between them, further increasing the friction, and ensuring the strength and height of the connection point.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 4A groove is formed on the horizontal part of the height adjustment block 2, and a clamping block 3 is slidably connected in the groove. The end of the clamping block 3 away from the groove is connected to the outer circular clamping block 5 or the end face support clamping block 6 by bolts. In this way, by forming a groove on the height adjustment block 2, it is easy to connect to the clamping block 3 through the groove, and the outer circular clamping block 5 or the end face support clamping block 6 is connected to the other end of the clamping block 3. The clamping block 3 forms a clamping arm to clamp the gear.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 5 A slide rail is formed within the groove, and a slider is formed on the clamping block 3. The slider engages with the slide rail 31. A threaded hole is formed on the side wall of the groove, and a locking screw 32 engages with the threaded hole to hold the clamping block 3 against each other within the groove. This allows the distance between the two clamping blocks 3 to be adjusted according to the gear diameter by cooperating with the slider and the slide rail 31. Once the blocks have slid to the appropriate position, the locking screw 32 locks the clamping blocks 3 in place.

[0041] See Figure 5 The clamping block 3 has a V-shaped portion 33 at the end away from the height adjusting block 2. Both sides of the V-shaped portion 33 are connected to the outer circular clamping block 5 or the end face support clamping block 6 by bolts. In this way, by forming a V-shaped portion 33 at the end of the clamping block 3 away from the height adjusting block 2, and connecting both sides of the V-shaped portion 33 to the outer circular clamping block 5 or the end face support clamping block 6 by bolts, the two support points of the two outer circular clamping blocks 5 or the end face support clamping blocks 6 are on the same circle, so that the two clamping blocks 3 clamp the gear.

[0042] See Figure 6 The outer circular clamping block 5 has a rectangular inclined plate, and a connecting portion 51 extends from the rear side of the inclined plate. A U-shaped groove is formed on the connecting portion 51. Bolts connect the outer circular clamp to the V-shaped portion 33 through the threaded hole in the V-shaped portion 33 via the U-shaped groove. This facilitates the connection between the connecting portion 51 and the V-shaped portion 33, improving the strength and rigidity of the connection point. The U-shaped groove on the connecting portion 51 allows the bolt to connect the outer circular clamp to the V-shaped portion 33, and the inclined rectangle also clamps the outer circumference of the gear.

[0043] See Figure 7The end face support clamping block 6 has a rectangular inclined plate formed on it. A connecting portion 51 extends from the rear side of the inclined plate, and a U-shaped groove is formed on the connecting portion 51. A bolt connects the outer circular clamp to the V-shaped portion 33 through the threaded hole in the V-shaped portion 33 via the U-shaped groove. A support portion 61 extends from the front side of the inclined plate and abuts against the gear end face. This facilitates the connection between the connecting portion 51 and the V-shaped portion 33, improving the strength and rigidity of the connection point. The U-shaped groove on the connecting portion 51 allows the bolt to connect the outer circular clamp to the V-shaped portion 33 via the U-shaped groove. Furthermore, the support portion 61 abuts against the gear end face and, under the action of the inclined plate, prevents the gear from tipping over, thus achieving gear clamping.

[0044] Example 2: A feeding mechanism including the aforementioned gear clamp. It should be noted that this feeding mechanism may include clamps from other mechanical equipment for holding the corresponding parts.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
