Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shaft gear processing, and in particular to a clamping mechanism and method for driving shaft gear processing and rotation. Background Art
[0002] The traditional gear processing machine tools adopt spring collets and other methods to clamp the shaft gear to drive its rotation during shaft gear processing, and some adopt three-jaw chucks to manually clamp the shaft gear to drive its rotation. Its biggest disadvantage is that when using spring collets and other methods to clamp the shaft gear to drive its rotation, the shaft gear design and processing usually adopts the center holes at both ends for positioning, while the spring collet clamps the outer circle of the shaft gear, which requires that the outer circle of the shaft gear clamped by the spring collet has a very high coaxial requirement with respect to the center holes at both ends. Otherwise, the spring collet clamping is prone to over-positioning, which has a great influence on the clamping and processing accuracy of the shaft gear. The three-jaw chuck is used to manually clamp the shaft gear to drive its rotation. In addition to the above-mentioned requirement that the clamping outer circle of the shaft gear has a very high coaxial requirement with respect to the center holes at both ends, manual clamping cannot guarantee the clamping accuracy of the shaft gear. Manual alignment is required for each clamping, which is very troublesome. Summary of the Invention

There is no coaxial requirement for the clamped shaft gear outer circle relative to the center holes at both ends. It will not cause over-positioning of the shaft gear clamping and affect the clamping and processing accuracy of the shaft gear. The whole process is simple to operate and easy to use. The shaft gear positioning accuracy is high, the clamping is convenient, the operation requirements are reduced, the processing and clamping time are saved, and the structure is stable and reliable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Example 1: See also Figure 1-9, a clamping mechanism for driving the shaft gear processing rotation, including a clamp seat 6, a clamping ring 5 is installed on the top positioning sleeve 604 of the clamp seat 6 through a clearance fit; a single-acting oil cylinder 9 is fixedly installed in the radial direction of one side of the clamping ring 5, and the single-acting oil cylinder 9 passes through a U-shaped groove 606 provided on the top positioning sleeve 604, and a guide plate 14 is fixedly installed in the radial direction of the other side of the clamping ring 5, and the guide plate 14 passes through a guide groove 607 provided on the top positioning sleeve 604; spring tightening mechanisms are installed in pairs in the radial direction of the clamping ring 5 and on both sides of the guide plate 14, and the spring tightening mechanism cooperates with the outer circle of the top positioning sleeve 604; a positioning plate 4 for axially limiting the clamping ring 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamp seat 6; it also includes an upper center 1 and a lower center 7 for tightening the axial ends of the shaft gear 2. By adopting the above-mentioned clamping mechanism, during the processing and clamping of the shaft gear, it is only necessary to place the shaft gear into the upper and lower centers for positioning. The clamping ring 5 can move radially on the fixture seat 6, and can adjust its radial clamping position according to the actual situation of the shaft gear clamping outer circle under the action of the single-acting cylinder 9. There is no coaxial requirement for the clamped shaft gear outer circle relative to the center holes at both ends, and the shaft gear clamping will not be over-positioned to affect the clamping and processing accuracy of the shaft gear. The whole process is simple to operate and easy to use, the shaft gear positioning accuracy is high, the clamping is convenient, the operation requirements are reduced, and the processing and clamping time are saved. The structure is stable and reliable.
[0034] Furthermore, the fixture base 6 includes a fixture base 601, the outer circumference of which is uniformly machined with multiple notches 602. A center column 603 is provided at the top center of the fixture base 601. A top positioning sleeve 604 is provided at the top center of the center column 603. The top positioning sleeve 604 is machined with radially arranged U-shaped grooves 606. A guide groove 607 is machined on the top positioning sleeve 604 and located on the opposite side of the U-shaped groove 606. A top threaded hole 605 is machined on the top surface of the top positioning sleeve 604. A top cavity 608 for accommodating the shaft gear 2 is machined at the top center of the top positioning sleeve 604. By using the above-mentioned fixture base 6, the entire clamping mechanism can be mounted and assembled.
[0035] Furthermore, there is at least a 0.5mm clearance between the inner hole of the clamping ring 5 and the outer circumference of the top positioning sleeve 604. This clearance fit ensures that the clamping ring 5 can be radially adjusted on the top positioning sleeve 604, thereby facilitating the subsequent radial adaptive clamping of the shaft gear 2 and preventing over-positioning of the shaft gear 2.
[0036] Furthermore, the positioning disc 4 includes a conical base plate 401, the top of which is machined with a support boss 403 for positioning the shaft gear 2. A first stepped hole 402 is machined on the conical base plate 401 for passing a first screw 3, which is used to secure the positioning disc 4 to the top of the top positioning sleeve 604. The bottom center of the conical base plate 401 is machined with an inner stepped hole 404 for mating with the top positioning sleeve 604. After being secured, the positioning disc 4 forms a certain gap with the top of the clamping ring 5. The positioning disc 4 can be used to provide axial support for the shaft gear and axially limit the clamping ring 5, thereby ensuring that the clamping ring 5 can be radially adjusted and moved on the top positioning sleeve 604.
[0037] Furthermore, the clamping ring 5 includes a clamping ring body 502, and a cylinder threaded hole 503 is radially processed on one side of the clamping ring body 502. The single-acting cylinder 9 is installed inside the cylinder threaded hole 503 by threaded fitting. The opposite side of the cylinder threaded hole 503 is radially processed with a guide plate mounting groove 501, and the bottom end of the guide plate mounting groove 501 is processed with multiple first screw blind holes 507. The first screw blind hole 507 cooperates with the second screw 13 and fixes the guide plate 14 inside the guide plate mounting groove 501; the guide plate mounting groove 501 is symmetrically processed with first threaded holes 504 on both sides, and the end of the first threaded hole 504 is processed with a steel ball hole 505, and the end of the steel ball hole 505 is provided with a tapered tail hole 506. The above-mentioned clamping ring 5 can ensure that after the axial clamping and positioning of the shaft gear is completed, the shaft gear is clamped in the circumferential direction. In addition, during the clamping process, the radial position of the clamping ring 5 is adjusted with the help of the single-acting cylinder 9 to adapt well to the radial position of the shaft gear 2 and realize radial clamping.
[0038] Furthermore, a nut 8 is mounted at the rear end of the threaded hole 503 of the cylinder, which is used to limit the position of the single-acting cylinder 9. A threaded hole 801 is machined in the center of the nut 8 for introducing hydraulic oil. A spring inside the single-acting cylinder 9 retracts the piston rod 901. External oil pressure further compresses the spring, causing the piston rod 901 to extend outward. This single-acting cylinder 9 provides radial clamping and fixation of the shaft gear 2.
[0039] Furthermore, the spring tensioning mechanism includes a spring 10 installed within the first threaded hole 504 and the steel ball hole 505. The tail end of the spring 10 is retained by a set screw 11 installed within the first threaded hole 504. The other end of the spring 10 presses against a steel ball 12 disposed within the steel ball hole 505. The outer diameter of the steel ball 12 is larger than that of the tapered tail hole 506. This spring tensioning mechanism facilitates positioning of the clamping ring 5 and the fixture base 6, and also facilitates subsequent removal of the clamping ring 5.
[0040] Furthermore, the steel ball 12 is pre-tightened by the compression spring 10, and the outer circle of the steel ball 12 is exposed at least 1.5 mm from the inner hole of the clamping ring 5. The above-mentioned size matching ensures that the clamping ring 5 can achieve radial movement adjustment.
[0041] Furthermore, the guide plate 14 is machined with multiple second stepped holes 1402 for receiving the second screws 13. Vertical grooves 1403 are machined on both sides of the guide plate 14. A tip 1401 is machined at one end of the guide plate 14 to mate with the outer diameter of the shaft gear 2. This guide plate 14 guides the radial movement of the clamping ring 5 and facilitates subsequent torque transmission. The vertical grooves 1403 also facilitate subsequent oil injection, providing lubrication.
[0042] Example 2: Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for driving a shaft gear to rotate, comprising the following steps: Step 1, assemble the upper parts of the clamping ring 5: Install the spring tightening mechanism inside the first threaded hole 504 and the steel ball hole 505 of the clamping ring 5, and pre-tighten the steel ball 12 using the set screw 11; Install the guide plate 14 inside the guide plate installation groove 501 of the clamping ring 5; Install the single-acting cylinder 9 inside the cylinder threaded hole 503 of the clamping ring 5; Step 2, installation of clamping ring 5: The assembled clamping ring 5 is installed as a whole on the clamp seat 6, and the entire clamping ring 5 is moved radially on the clamp seat 6 through the guide plate 14. The single-acting cylinder 9 is also placed in the U-shaped groove 606 of the clamp seat 6 and has no contact or interference with the clamp seat; Step 3, installation of positioning plate 4: Connect the positioning plate 4 to the clamp seat 6 via the first screw 3 to limit the axial movement of the clamping ring 5; Step 4, radial clamping adjustment of shaft gear 2: Place the shaft gear 2 on the lower top 7, press down through the upper top 1 until the end face fits against the end face of the positioning plate 4, and inject hydraulic oil through the screw hole on the nut 8. The hydraulic oil pushes the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder 9 to extend. When the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder contacts the shaft gear 2, it drives the clamping ring 5 to move radially until the guide plate 14 and the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder contact the shaft gear 2 at the same time. The shaft gear 2 is radially locked by the pressure of the hydraulic oil, and the steel ball 12 is compressed and retracted. Step 5, Rotation Processing of Shaft Gear 2: The fixture seat 6 rotates, and the guide groove 607 on the fixture seat 6 cooperates with the guide plate 14 to drive the entire clamping ring 5 and the shaft gear 2 to rotate, and the shaft gear 2 is processed synchronously; Step 6, Unloading of shaft gear 2: After the processing of shaft gear 2 is completed, the upper center moves up, the hydraulic oil stops supplying, the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder retracts, and the steel ball drives the clamping ring 5 to move radially under the action of the spring, so that the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder and the guide plate 14 leave the clamping outer circle of shaft gear 2 at the same time, and then the shaft gear 2 is taken out.
[0043] Example 3: Specific assembly working process and principle of the present invention: 1. Assemble the upper center, shaft gear, first screw, positioning plate, clamping ring, fixture seat, lower center, nut, single-acting cylinder, spring, set screw, steel ball, second screw and guide plate; 2. Install the steel ball and spring into the two first threaded holes 504 and the steel ball hole 505 of the clamping ring respectively. The two steel ball holes 505 are not completely penetrated in the clamping ring, so the steel ball cannot pass through the steel ball holes 505. Screw the set screws into the two first threaded holes 504 respectively, and pre-tighten the steel ball by compressing the spring. At this time, the outer circle of the steel ball will protrude 1.5mm from the inner hole of the clamping ring. 3. Fasten the guide plate into the guide plate mounting groove 501 of the clamping ring with the second screw; 4. Screw the single-acting cylinder into the threaded hole 503 of the radial cylinder in the clamping ring. The single-acting cylinder is an assembly. A spring inside the cylinder retracts the piston. External oil pressure further compresses the spring, causing the piston to extend outward. Screw the nut into the threaded hole 503 of the radial cylinder in the clamping ring to fit the single-acting cylinder and prevent it from retreating. The nut has a threaded hole for hydraulic oil to enter, which pushes the piston of the single-acting cylinder. 5. After completing the assembly in steps 2, 3, and 4, form a component for standby use; 6. Install the above five components onto the fixture base, with a 0.5mm gap between the inner hole of the clamping ring and the outer circle of the fixture base. Place the guide plate into the guide plate mounting groove 501 of the fixture base. The entire assembly can be radially moved in the guide plate mounting groove 501 of the fixture base by the guide plate. The single-acting cylinder can also be placed in the U-shaped groove of the fixture base without any contact or interference with the fixture base. 7. Connect the positioning plate to the fixture seat through the first screw, while limiting the axial movement of the clamping ring; 8. Place the shaft gear on the lower center, and press down through the upper center until the end face fits against the end face of the positioning plate. At this time, hydraulic oil is introduced through the screw hole on the nut, and the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder is pushed out by the hydraulic oil. When the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder contacts the upper shaft gear, it drives the entire assembly in the clamping ring 5 to move radially until the guide plate and the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder contact the workpiece at the same time, and the shaft gear is radially locked by the pressure of the hydraulic oil. At the same time, the steel ball is compressed and retracted. Since the entire assembly in the clamping ring 5 can move radially, the clamping outer circle of the shaft gear does not need to be coaxial with the center holes at both ends, and there is no over-positioning of the shaft gear clamping, which affects the clamping and processing accuracy of the shaft gear. 9. The fixture seat rotates, and the cooperation between the guide plate mounting groove 501 on the fixture seat and the guide plate drives the components and shaft gears in the entire clamping ring 5 to rotate; 10. After the shaft gear processing is completed, the upper center moves up, the hydraulic oil stops supplying, the piston rod of the single-acting cylinder retracts, and the steel ball drives the entire assembly in the clamping ring 5 to move radially under the action of the spring, so that the piston rod and guide plate of the single-acting cylinder leave the clamping outer circle of the shaft gear at the same time, and the shaft gear is taken out.

The clamping mechanism for driving a shaft gear to rotate during machining according to claim 7, characterized in that: The steel ball (12) is pre-tightened by the compression spring (10), and at this time, the outer circle of the steel ball (12) is exposed from the inner hole of the clamping ring (5) by at least 1.5 mm.
9. The clamping mechanism for driving a shaft gear to rotate during machining according to claim 7, characterized in that: The guide plate (14) is machined with a plurality of second stepped holes (1402) for passing the second screws (13), vertical grooves (1403) are machined on both sides of the guide plate (14), and a top end (1401) is machined on one end of the head of the guide plate (14) for matching with the outer circle of the shaft gear (2).
10. A method for driving a shaft gear to rotate, characterized in that: The method is implemented by using a clamping mechanism for driving a shaft gear to rotate as described in any one of claims 6 to 9, comprising the following steps: Step 1, assembly of the upper parts of the clamping ring (5): Install the spring tightening mechanism inside the first threaded hole (504) and the steel ball hole (505) of the clamping ring (5), and pre-tighten the steel ball (12) by means of the set screw (11); Install the guide plate (14) inside the guide plate mounting groove (501) of the clamping ring (5); Install the single-acting oil cylinder (9) inside the oil cylinder threaded hole (503) of the clamping ring (5); Step 2, installation of the clamping ring (5): The assembled clamping ring (5) is installed as a whole on the clamp seat (6), and the entire clamping ring (5) is moved radially on the clamp seat (6) through the guide plate (14). The single-acting cylinder (9) is also placed in the U-shaped groove (606) of the clamp seat (6) and has no contact or interference with the clamp seat; Step 3, installation of positioning plate (4): Connecting the positioning plate (4) to the clamp seat (6) via the first screw (3) to thereby limit the axial movement of the clamping ring (5); Step 4, radial clamping adjustment of the shaft gear (2): Place the shaft gear (2) on the lower top (7), press down through the upper top (1) until the end face is attached to the end face of the positioning plate (4), and introduce hydraulic oil through the screw hole on the nut (8). The hydraulic oil pushes the piston rod of the single-acting oil cylinder (9) to extend. When the piston rod of the single-acting oil cylinder contacts the shaft gear (2), it drives the clamping ring (5) to move radially until the guide plate (14) and the piston rod of the single-acting oil cylinder contact the shaft gear (2) at the same time, and the shaft gear (2) is radially locked by the pressure of the hydraulic oil, and the steel ball (12) is compressed and retracted. Step 5, Rotation processing of shaft gear (2): The fixture seat (6) rotates, and the entire clamping ring (5) and the shaft gear (2) are driven to rotate through the cooperation of the guide groove (607) on the fixture seat (6) and the guide plate (14), and the shaft gear (2) is processed synchronously; Step 6, Unloading of the shaft gear (2): After the machining of the shaft gear (2) is completed, the top center moves upward, the hydraulic oil stops supplying, the piston rod of the single-acting oil cylinder retracts, and the steel ball drives the clamping ring (5) to move radially under the action of the spring, so that the piston rod of the single-acting oil cylinder and the guide plate (14) leave the clamping outer circle of the shaft gear (2) at the same time, and then the shaft gear (2) is taken out.
