[0012] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Example
[0013] like Figures 1 to 3 A method for machining splines on a horizontal lathe comprises the following steps: S1, calculating a cutting angle between a power head and a spline; S2, designing a special machining tool; wherein the tool comprises a cutter disc 1, a mounting hole (not shown in the drawing) for connecting an external drive device is provided on the cutter disc 1, a blade structure is provided on the cutter disc 1, and the blade structure comprises a blade seat 2 evenly distributed on a side of the cutter disc 1 and a first blade 3 and a second blade 4 welded on the blade seat 2, and further, the cross sections of the first blade 3 and the second blade 4 are both trapezoidal.
[0014] The first blade 3 is provided with a chipping groove 5, which is evenly provided on the side of the first blade 3, and the two ends of the chipping groove 5 penetrate the first blade 3. In this embodiment, the cross section of the chipping groove 5 is dovetail-shaped. Adding the chipping groove 5 to the first blade 3 can reduce the force area during cutting, thereby reducing the cutting load of the tool while reducing the processing noise, and increasing the service life of the tool. The second blade 4 is a complete blade, so that the surface cuts caused by the chipping groove 5 can be covered, and the burrs of the product during the processing of the other blades can be removed, so as to ensure the quality requirements of the processed surface S3, calculate the Y-axis processing stroke of the lathe.
[0015] The first blades 3 and the second blades 4 are arranged at intervals. In this embodiment, eight blade seats 2 are provided, and the second blades 4 are located between every three first blades 3 .
[0016] Furthermore, the blade seat 2 is provided with a mounting notch 6 for welding the first blade 3 and the second blade 4. The mounting notch 6 enables the bottom of the blade to rest against the plane of the mounting notch 6 when welding the first blade 3 and the second blade 4, thereby facilitating welding.
[0017] S4. After the tool design is completed, the tool is installed on the lathe; S5. The speed ratio between the power head and the spindle is set on the system; S6. Processing, the automobile steering shaft is subjected to spline extrusion, square milling and burr treatment processes.
