[0008] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The invention provides a tooth alignment clamping fixture for CNC vertical milling, in which the three-jaw chuck is coaxially arranged with the tailstock bracket, and cooperates with the clamping ring and the rotating center, which can accurately position and firmly clamp the workpiece to be processed, effectively reducing vibration and displacement during processing, ensuring processing accuracy, and improving the processing quality of parts; the tooth alignment component on the top of the adjustment block is located on the side of the spline teeth of the workpiece to be processed, which is convenient for tooth alignment operations during clamping, ensuring the accuracy of spline tooth processing, avoiding parts scrapping due to tooth alignment errors, and reducing production costs; the three-jaw chuck is installed on the CNC vertical milling workbench, has a compact structure, occupies a small space, and is easy to install and use on the CNC vertical milling equipment; the tailstock bracket can be adjusted according to The length of the machined part can be adjusted to its position, and the gear assembly can also change its position on the adjusting block according to the size of the gear of the machined part, so as to adapt to different parts. This mainly enables old machine tools to meet new processing needs, and the utilization rate of idle machine tools is improved. In addition, the entire processing clamping solution and the gear alignment cost are greatly reduced; the present invention has a simple structure, convenient operation, and no requirements for the tool position of the machine tool. Old machine tools can also be used, and this clamping solution is low-cost. It was originally achieved through a CNC vertical machining center and borrowed high-precision probes. It has high requirements for the machine tool and needs to be able to match the probe system. The machine tool requires a separate probe tool position, which cannot be used on old milling machines, and the cost of the processing solution is high.

[0009] Furthermore, an inner hole is opened in the middle of the ring body, which provides a precise installation position for the processed parts and ensures the initial positioning accuracy of the parts during clamping. A pressure block is installed on the top of the inner hole, which cooperates with the clamping bolt that runs through the ring body to generate reliable and stable clamping force, firmly fix the parts, effectively prevent the parts from loosening during processing, and ensure processing accuracy; and the rebound screws arranged before and after the clamping bolt can make the pressure block automatically rebound after processing is completed, which facilitates the rapid disassembly of the parts and improves the clamping efficiency; the entire clamping ring has a simple structure but complete functions, is easy to operate, and can well adapt to the tooth clamping requirements of CNC vertical milling, thereby improving processing quality and production efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the screw is installed inside the pressure block, providing a stable connection basis for the pressure block, ensuring that the screw and the pressure block work together during the clamping process to effectively transmit the clamping force; a gasket is set at the bottom of the nut to increase the force-bearing area, disperse the pressure, avoid the nut directly squeezing the ring body to cause local damage, and extend the service life of the fixture; a compression spring is arranged on the surface of the screw between the gasket and the ring body, which is the core highlight of the design. After processing is completed, the compression spring can quickly push the pressure block to rebound by virtue of its own elastic recovery force, thereby realizing rapid loosening of parts, greatly shortening the disassembly time, improving the clamping efficiency, making the entire tooth clamping process smoother and more efficient, and helping to improve production efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment block enhances its overall stability through the structural design of the heightening block, the first positioning block and the second positioning block; the setting of the fixing groove and the mounting hole facilitates the connection and fixation of the adjustment block with other components, and improves the accuracy and firmness of the installation; the positioning groove on the top of the heightening block provides an accurate positioning reference for the gear assembly, ensuring that the gear assembly is installed accurately.

[0012] Furthermore, the square key of the gear assembly matches the size of the positioning groove of the adjustment block, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the installation. The fourth mounting holes on both sides of the base cooperate with the second mounting holes on the top of the adjustment block to achieve reliable connection through fasteners; the design of the rotary shaft and rotary groove enables the gear gauge to rotate flexibly, which is convenient for adjusting the gear position and improving the gear accuracy; the gear gauge is located on the side of the spline teeth of the processed part, and can accurately detect the position of the spline teeth to ensure the accuracy of processing.

[0013] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for debugging a tooth clamping fixture for a CNC vertical milling machine, which flexibly adjusts the position of the tailstock bracket and installs it according to the length of the workpiece to be processed, can adapt to parts of different lengths, and enhances the versatility of the fixture; utilizes a three-jaw chuck to clamp the clamping ring with a radial clamping force, which is easy to operate and reliable in clamping, providing a stable basis for part clamping; by connecting the two ends of the workpiece to the clamping ring and the rotating center respectively, the coaxiality and stability of the part during the clamping process are ensured, and processing vibration and error are effectively reduced; according to the position of the spline teeth, the adjustment block is adjusted and installed so that the tooth assembly can be accurately aligned with the spline teeth, thereby improving the tooth alignment accuracy and ensuring the spline tooth processing quality; by tightening the spline teeth with the tooth assembly and clamping the part again with the clamping ring, the tooth assembly is retracted for further processing. This operation process is reasonable, which not only ensures the accuracy of tooth alignment, but also facilitates subsequent processing. After processing is completed, the part is loosened by the clamping ring and the rotating center is retracted, and the part can be removed quickly and safely, which not only improves the clamping stability but also improves production efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, adjusting and installing the tailstock support according to the length of the workpiece can make the fixture better adapt to parts of different specifications, greatly improving the versatility and flexibility of the fixture, ensuring that the rotating center can accurately press the workpiece when extended, providing stable support and positioning for the part, effectively reducing vibration and displacement during processing, and ensuring processing accuracy; and when retracted, it does not interfere with the part, facilitating the clamping and disassembly operations of the part.

[0015] Furthermore, when adjusting and installing the adjustment block and the tooth alignment assembly according to the position of the spline teeth of the processed part, the tooth alignment assembly is installed on the top of the adjustment block, and the adjustment block is accurately installed according to the position of the spline teeth. At the same time, the position of the tooth alignment assembly on the top of the adjustment block is adjusted to ensure that the tooth alignment gauge can press against the spline teeth when extended and does not interfere with the spline teeth when retracted. This operation can accurately position the tooth alignment assembly, so that the tooth alignment gauge and the spline teeth are perfectly matched, greatly improving the tooth alignment accuracy, ensuring the accuracy of spline tooth processing, and effectively reducing the scrapping of parts due to tooth alignment errors; in actual processing operations, the spline teeth are first tightened to ensure the accurate position of the part, then the part is clamped to ensure processing stability, and finally the tooth alignment gauge is retracted to avoid interference with the processing, making the processing process smoother and more efficient.

[0016] Furthermore, tightening the clamping bolt pushes the pressure block to clamp the processed parts. The operation is simple and direct, and can quickly clamp the parts, effectively improve the clamping efficiency, and shorten the production preparation time. The coordinated design of the clamping bolt and the pressure block can generate a stable and reliable clamping force, ensuring that the processed parts are firmly fixed during the processing, reducing processing errors caused by loose parts, and significantly improving processing accuracy and part quality. At the same time, the rebound screws set before and after the clamping bolt can make the pressure block automatically rebound after processing is completed, facilitating rapid disassembly of parts.

[0017] Furthermore, after loosening the clamping bolt, the pressure block can automatically rebound with the help of the gasket of the rebound screw and the compression spring, thereby quickly loosening the part, greatly simplifying the part disassembly process, saving operation time, and improving production efficiency; the elastic recovery force provided by the compression spring is stable and reliable, ensuring that the pressure block can rebound accurately and smoothly, avoiding damage to parts and fixtures due to inadequate or excessive rebound; at the same time, it reduces the tediousness and uncertainty of manual disassembly of parts, reduces labor intensity, and reduces the risk of part damage due to improper operation; overall, this operation step optimizes the user experience of the clamping collar, improves the overall efficiency and quality of CNC end milling, and brings good economic benefits to the enterprise.
