AI Technical Summary
In the existing worm gear tooth groove processing process, the static friction peak and surface contamination/burrs at the start of cutting superimpose the radial force imbalance, resulting in external cutting force excitation, causing tool gnawing, vibration and surface defects. In addition, the motion force after cutting cannot adapt to itself, affecting subsequent quality and consistency.
A couple vibration cancellation component and a pre-cutting micro-disturbance component are used. The couple vibration cancellation component offsets the couple of the main tool and the damping tool through an anti-phase mechanism. The pre-cutting micro-disturbance component drives the eccentric block through a resonant motor to provide controllable micro-disturbance, breaking the static friction criticality and removing contamination film and burrs.
Significantly reduce tool gnashing and chattering, improve initial bite success rate, shorten the time to enter steady-state cutting, improve tooth groove accuracy and consistency, extend tool life, and ensure processing stability.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the pre-cutting micro disturbance assembly includes a receiving sleeve 18 arranged on the other side of the sliding plate 13, the receiving sleeve 18 is used to position the other end of the hobbing cutter 16, one side of the receiving sleeve 18 is provided with a resonance motor 17, an eccentric block for driving the receiving sleeve 18 to rotate is arranged at the output end of the resonance motor 17, which is used to drive the receiving sleeve 18 to pre-vibrate the hobbing cutter 16; After the workpiece clamping and the air travel fast drop are completed, the main slide 11 stops at the predetermined cutting start height, the control system does not allow the hobbing cutter 16 to cut in, but starts the pre-cutting micro disturbance assembly, the resonant motor 17 rises at a set curve and can perform a short sweep frequency, so that the eccentric block drives the receiving sleeve 18 to apply high-frequency micro vibration to the hobbing cutter 16, at this time the cutting edge is in a controllable micro disturbance state; then the main slide 11 micro-quantity downlink according to the slow feeding strategy, the hobbing cutter 16 first contacts the surface layer of the worm workpiece 6 under the micro disturbance, the surface contamination film / oxidation layer / micro burr is passively broken, the static friction peak is “smoothed”, the cutting edge more smoothly bites into the base metal, the system real-time collects the spindle current and vibration / AE, if the cutting force fluctuation convergence, vibration RMS is detected to decrease or the cutting depth reaches the set threshold, the control system sends a gradually decreasing off command to the resonant motor 17, so that the eccentric block speed is smoothly reduced in -ms and stops, the pre-vibration is completed in a short window, then the main slide 11 continues to feed according to the predetermined curve, the deceleration motor 15 maintains the target linear speed to enter the stable cutting stage, wherein the resonant motor 17 directly drives the receiving sleeve 18 through the eccentric block, the receiving sleeve 18 is tightly attached to the supporting end of the hobbing cutter 16, the vibration transmission path is extremely short, and the vibration coupling efficiency is higher than that of the external excitation mode, so that the cutting edge is in a “dynamic micro disturbance” state at the contact moment, breaks the static friction threshold and reduces the probability of forming a chip tumor, significantly reduces the first circle of blade and bites the knife, and the vibration parameters can be set in the range of 500-1000 Hz, the amplitude is several microns, and the natural frequency band of the machine tool is avoided; the receiving sleeve 18 and the main cutting transmission chain are mechanically decoupled, avoiding vibration amplification to the spindle or guide rail, ensuring that the transmission accuracy is not affected, in addition, only in a very short time before and after the hydraulic feeding is started, the torque / AE / vibration threshold is activated, and after cutting in 0.2-0.3 mm, it is automatically turned off, which realizes “chaotic cutting start” and does not introduce a continuous vibration source, which is beneficial to the stability of subsequent finishing.
[0025] As Figures 2 to 11As shown, the couple vibration elimination assembly includes an auxiliary frame 19 slidably mounted on two slide rails 9, a damping tool 20 is provided on one side of the auxiliary frame 19, a positioning plate 21 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 8 close to the slide rail 9, a slide groove 22 is provided in the middle of the positioning plate 21, a sliding block 26 is slidably mounted inside the slide groove 22, a rotating column 27 is rotatably mounted inside the sliding block 26, a reversing drive wheel 23 is provided on the rotating column 27, a first connecting rod 24 is rotatably mounted on one side of the reversing drive wheel 23, the other side of the first connecting rod 24 is rotatably connected to one side of the main slide 11, a second connecting rod 25 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the reversing drive wheel 23, the other side of the second connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 19, when When the main slide 11 is driven by the hydraulic system to feed downward, it pushes the first connecting rod 24 to drive the reversing drive wheel 23 to rotate. The rotation of the reversing drive wheel 23 drives the second connecting rod 25 to drive the auxiliary frame 19 to move in the opposite direction. The damping tool 20 is set to be hard alloy. In the initial state, when the main slide 11 drives the gear hobbing cutting roller 16 to contact the worm gear workpiece 6, the auxiliary frame 19 synchronously drives the damping tool 20 to contact the other side of the worm gear workpiece 6. The outer surface of the damping tool 20 can be set to be smooth or the same blade shape as the gear hobbing cutting roller 16, and the blade position is in an unsharpened state. The auxiliary frame 19 can be set to a self-rotating state or a drive motor for driving the damping tool 20 to actively rotate is set on the auxiliary frame 19; The main carriage 11 starts to feed downward under the drive of the hydraulic system. The first connecting rod 24 pushes the reversing drive wheel 23 to rotate around the rotating column 27. The other side of the reversing drive wheel 23 drives the second connecting rod 25 at the same time, pushing the auxiliary frame 19 upward. The downward movement of the main carriage 11 causes the gear cutting roller 16 (main tool) to establish cutting contact with one side of the worm gear workpiece 6. At the same time, the upward movement of the auxiliary frame 19 causes the damping tool 20 to establish light pressure contact with the opposite side of the workpiece (such as Figure 9 The two actions are "ejected simultaneously in opposite directions" through the anti-interlocking mechanism, that is, the main tool approaches one side of the workpiece and the damping tool 20 approaches the opposite side of the workpiece (such as Figure 9 。 In the figure, the action of I to II is schematically shown), and a pair of opposite forces is established. Within this window, the anti-phase mechanism continuously outputs opposite displacements of approximately equal amplitude, so that the main cutting force F1 and the damping reaction force F2 form a force couple, which equivalently offsets the exposed excitation ("polarization") acting on the bed / guide rail, thereby suppressing cutting chatter and tool gnawing. In terms of process timing, the worm gear workpiece 6 rotates driven by the turntable 4, and the gear hobbing cutting roller 16 cuts and rotates at a set speed. The damping tool 20 rotates synchronously (actively) driven by the drive motor or rotates (passively) driven by contact friction, maintaining relative rolling contact with the workpiece surface. Because the gear hobbing cutting roller 16 and the damping tool 20 both perform "cutting / rolling" rotation actions on the worm gear workpiece 6, and the two are "synchronously ejected" in opposite phases through a connecting rod mechanism, the phases of F1 and F2 are opposite and the amplitudes are controllable within the initial cutting window, achieving the purpose of polarization cancellation.
[0026] As Figures 2 to 11 shown, one side of the positioning plate 21 is also provided with an arc-shaped groove 30, one side of the arc-shaped groove 30 is communicated with the sliding groove 22, one side of the reversing driving wheel 23 is provided with an extension block 31, one side of the extension block 31 is provided with a limiting block 32, the limiting block 32 is slidingly installed in the arc-shaped groove 30, the opening arc of the arc-shaped groove 30 is consistent with the rotation arc of the reversing driving wheel 23, when the main slide 11 continuously feeds downward, the reversing driving wheel 23 is rotated under the driving of the first connecting rod 24, the limiting block 32 is rotated in the arc-shaped groove 30 to the inside of the sliding groove 22, the bottom of the sliding groove 22 is provided with a reset spring 29, the other end of the reset spring 29 is fixedly connected with one side of the sliding block 26, the sliding block 26 is rotationally connected with the rotating column 27, and the rotating column 27 is provided with a torsion spring 28, the torsion spring 28 is used to drive the reversing driving wheel 23 and the limiting block 32 to reset after the main slide 11 resets upward; The main slide 11 continuously feeds downward, the first connecting rod 24 drives the reversing driving wheel 23 to rotate, the extension block 31 on the side of the reversing driving wheel 23 drives the limiting block 32 to rotate along the arc-shaped groove 30 synchronously, when rotating to a predetermined switching angle position, the limiting block 32 is aligned with the sliding groove 22 entrance communicated with the arc-shaped groove 30 and slides into the sliding groove 22 (as Figure 9 shown in I to II action schematic), at this time, the movement direction of the limiting block 32 is parallel to the axis of the sliding groove 22, further, the main slide 11 downward will no longer transmit the opposite displacement to the auxiliary frame 19 through the reversing driving wheel 23, but drives the sliding block 26 to slide downward along the sliding groove 22 (as Figure 9 shown in II to III action schematic), the reset spring 29 is compressed to store energy, at the same time, the auxiliary frame 19 is randomly relieved or maintains a small preload, so that the workpiece bottom is avoided from being continuously pressed, when the main slide 11 is lifted, the hydraulic return makes the structure unloaded, the reset spring 29 pushes the sliding block 26 back to the upper end of the sliding groove 22, the torsion spring 28 drives the rotating column 27 and the reversing driving wheel 23 to reversely rotate, and the limiting block 32 is brought back from the sliding groove 22 to the initial area of the arc-shaped groove 30 (as Figure 9(See the action diagram of III to I in the figure) The entire reversing mechanism returns to the standby angle, providing the same "anti-phase → decoupling" motion sequence for the next cutting. The arc groove 30 and the slide 22 constitute a "geometric programmable constraint". The limit block 32 rotates with the reversing drive wheel 23 and moves in the arc groove 30. When it rotates to the set angle, the limit block 32 enters the slide 22 and is parallel to its direction. Then the degree of freedom of the system switches from "anti-phase rotation output to displacement" to "the whole block moves in the same direction along the slide 22 in a straight line", realizing the initial anti-phase. , the rear section decouples and retreats in the same direction. After switching, the auxiliary frame 19 no longer continues to push up, but only moves downward with the main tool holder under the compliance of the reset spring 29 and the mechanism or maintains minimal contact, to prevent surface damage or interference caused by the top pressure still being applied when the tooth groove deepens, and the reset spring 29 provides the vertical return force of the sliding block 26, and the torsion spring 28 provides the angular return force of the reversing drive wheel 23, so that the limit block 32 returns to the initial position of the arc groove 30 when the main slide 11 rises, realizing closed-loop reset, and ensuring that each cutting window can be triggered repeatedly.
