Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a hob cutting grinding machine. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to better fix the hob body so that the grinding wheel and the hob body can be better ground and the grinding accuracy can be improved.

[0005] The objectives of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a hob blade grinding machine comprises a worktable, an X-axis moving pair is provided on the worktable, a Z-axis moving pair is provided on the X-axis moving pair, a control box is provided on the Z-axis moving pair, a rotating shaft is provided in the control box, and a grinding wheel is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The hob blade grinding machine also includes a headstock, a tailstock and a hob body, wherein a plurality of inclined rotary cutting blades are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the hob body, and a fixing hole is provided inside the hob body, and a plurality of axially penetrating fixing grooves are recessed in the inner wall of the fixing hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixed shaft includes a conical fastening portion, and the fastening assembly includes a fastening seat having a plurality of mounting slots therein, with guide blocks disposed between adjacent mounting slots. The mounting slots are provided with guide slots communicating with the fixing slots, and a fastener is disposed within the mounting slot. The fastener has an inclined surface (1) that engages and abuts against the conical fastening portion, and a rubber bump is fixedly attached to one end of the fastener distal from the inclined surface (1). The rubber bump passes through the guide slot and is secured to the fixing slot. This solution allows for quick clamping and secure fixation of the hob cutter body, reduces vibration, and improves machining quality.

[0007] Furthermore, the number of the guide grooves is less than or equal to the number of the fixing grooves. The number of the guide grooves is less than or equal to the number of the fixing grooves, ensuring that the fixing grooves have corresponding fastening points to avoid loosening and enable the fastening assembly to adapt to different hob bodies.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed rotating shaft also includes a limiting portion, which is located on one side of the fastening conical portion. The fastening seat also has a limiting hole.

By rotating the adjusting nut, the adjusting nut can move the fastener along the fastening conical portion by relying on the axial force of the end cap. Since inclined surface 2 abuts against inclined surface 1, the fastener moves axially and also moves radially outward and is fixed to the fixing groove to axially and radially fix the hob body, preventing the hob body from slipping during rotation and grinding, thereby improving processing accuracy.

[0012] Furthermore, the fastener has a T-slot, and the rubber protrusion is fixedly engaged with the T-slot.

[0013] Furthermore, an elastic reset member is provided between the fastener and the fastening seat.

Through the abutment mechanism between the rotating seat limit groove and the control box limit block, the angle between the grinding wheel and the inclined rotary cutting blade is automatically calibrated. The rotation of the motor shaft drives the axial movement of the grinding shaft to achieve precise adjustment of the grinding wheel, ensuring that the grinding surface of the inclined rotary cutting blade is better aligned with the grinding wheel, thereby improving the accuracy of the inclined rotary cutting blade.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are as follows: 1.
