[0002] The differential housing is a key basic part in the automobile transmission system, and the planetary gear shaft hole in the differential housing is used for mounting the planetary gear shaft and bearing and transmitting torque. The machining quality of the planetary gear shaft hole, especially the position degree of the hole, the coaxiality of the two holes, the hole diameter accuracy and the perpendicularity of the hole end face to the axis, is directly related to the meshing stability of the planetary gear, the transmission efficiency and the service life and reliability of the entire differential assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the drawings, the embodiment provides a planetary gear shaft hole opening device of a differential housing, which comprises two main machines 3, a first slide rail 1 and a second slide rail 7; the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 are linear slide rails and the extending directions of the two are perpendicular; the two main machines 3 are installed on the first slide rail 1 at intervals, the first slide rail 1 is provided with a first feeding transmission mechanism, and the two main machines 3 are driven by the first feeding transmission mechanism to be able to move along the first slide rail 1 respectively to adjust the positions; one output shaft 6 is arranged on the opposite side of each of the two main machines 3, and the inside of the main machine 3 is provided with a driving system capable of driving the output shaft 6 to rotate and capable of adjusting the speed and angle of rotation of the output shaft 6; the center lines of the two output shafts 6 coincide and are consistent with the extending direction of the first slide rail 1, and the opposite ends of the two output shafts 6 are respectively provided with drill bits 5, the tips of the two drill bits 5 are opposite and the center lines coincide, and the drill bits 5 are used for opening planetary gear shaft holes on the side wall of the differential housing; the boring cutter 4 and the grinding tool 10 are fixedly installed on the output shaft 6, the boring cutter 4 is used for boring treatment of the planetary gear shaft hole to improve the form and position accuracy and surface quality of the planetary gear shaft hole; the grinding tool 10 is fixedly connected with the output shaft 6 and located on the side of the boring cutter 4 close to the main machine 3, the end face of the end of the grinding tool 10 close to the boring cutter 4 is a plane grinding face, and the plane grinding face is perpendicular to the center line of the output shaft 6; the grinding tool 10 is used for grinding treatment of the hole end on the outside of the planetary gear shaft hole to improve the surface quality of the hole end and make the hole end around be plane-shaped, thereby laying a foundation for accurate positioning and stable clamping in the subsequent overturning process; the first slide rail 1 is installed on the second slide rail 7, the second slide rail 7 is provided with a second feeding transmission mechanism, and the first slide rail 1 is driven by the second feeding transmission mechanism to be able to move along the first slide rail 1 to adjust the position.

[0039] As Figures 6 to 9As shown, the embodiment provides a composite lathe for machining differential housings, including a machine body and a spindle 20, as well as the planetary gear shaft hole opening device; the second slide rail 7 is installed and fixed on the machine body of the composite machine tool in the horizontal direction, so that the two main machines 3 are respectively located on both sides of the spindle 20 of the composite machine tool, and at the same time, it is ensured that the center lines of the output shaft 6 of the main machine 3 and the spindle 20 of the composite machine tool are in the same plane and perpendicular to each other.

[0040] In specific installation operations, the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 can be top-mounted slide rails, that is, the second slide rail 7, the first slide rail 1, and the two main units 3 are distributed from bottom to top. In this case, since the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 are located on the lower side of the spindle 20 of the composite machine tool, dust prevention performance should be given special consideration. This can be achieved by installing isolation plates, protective covers, etc., to prevent dust and metal debris generated during workpiece processing from entering the slide rail and affecting its performance. Alternatively, the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 can also be bottom-mounted slide rails, that is, the second slide rail 7, the first slide rail 1, and the two main units 3 are distributed from top to bottom. In this case, since the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 are located on the upper side of the spindle 20 of the composite machine tool, dust and metal debris generated during workpiece processing are less likely to enter the slide rail, making the performance of the second slide rail 7 and the first slide rail 1 more stable.

[0041] The embodiment provides a method for machining a differential housing, using the composite lathe as the machining equipment, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] S1. Clamping and positioning of the differential housing.

[0043] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the journal at one end of the differential housing is clamped using a fixture 21 on the composite machine tool, such as a chuck or collet, to achieve the clamping and fixing of the differential housing. During the clamping process, the differential housing is positioned radially, axially, and angularly based on the existing positioning method to ensure that the center lines of the differential housing and the spindle 20 of the composite machine tool coincide, and that the axial position and angle of the differential housing meet the predetermined requirements.

[0044] S2. Pre-processing of the differential housing.

[0045] In the aforementioned clamping state, referring to existing process technologies, the corresponding parts of the differential housing are processed using the integrated turning, milling, and grinding functions of the composite machine tool. For example, the round and end faces of components such as journals and flanges that are not clamped can be processed. The inner spherical surface and inner end face can also be processed using a gooseneck cutter in this process. More importantly, in the preceding processing, it is essential to process the relevant round and end faces of the unclamped journals so that the journals can be stably clamped and accurately positioned after flipping.

[0046] S3. Machining of planetary gear shaft holes.

[0047] See Figure 3 , Figure 8 As shown, after completing the preliminary processing, the composite machine tool, based on the orientation or indexing function of the spindle 20, stops the spindle 20 from rotating and locks it at a predetermined angle, locking the differential housing in the open state; the second feed transmission mechanism drives the first slide rail 1 to move, so that the two main machines 3 are adjusted to the corresponding positions along the axial direction of the differential housing; the first feed transmission mechanism drives the two main machines 3 to move along the first slide rail 1 and controls the feed amount, so that the two main machines 3 rotate the output shaft 6; firstly, the drill bit 5 is used to open the planetary gear shaft hole on the side wall of the differential housing, then the boring tool 4 is used to bore the planetary gear shaft hole, and finally, the surface grinding surface of the grinding wheel 10 is used to grind the outer end face of the planetary gear shaft hole, thereby completing the processing of the planetary gear shaft hole.

[0048] S4. Flipping the differential housing.

[0049] See Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, when the differential housing is flipped, the first feed transmission mechanism drives the two main machines 3 to move towards the differential housing until the two grinding wheels 10 clamp the differential housing from both sides. The clamping fixture 21 of the composite machine tool switches to the open state, that is, it no longer clamps the journal of the differential housing. The second feed transmission mechanism drives the first slide rail 1 to move, so that the differential housing is disengaged from the clamping fixture 21 of the composite machine tool. The two main machines 3 simultaneously rotate the two output shafts 6 180 degrees, so that the positions of the two journals of the differential housing are reversed. At this time, the unprocessed journal will be aligned with the clamping fixture 21. The second feed transmission mechanism drives the first slide rail 1 to move, so that the journal of the differential housing enters the clamping fixture 21. The composite machine tool clamps the journal with the clamping fixture 21, completing the re-clamping and fixing of the differential housing. Finally, the first feed transmission mechanism drives the two main machines 3 to move, so that the output shaft 6 is separated from the differential housing to prevent it from hindering subsequent processing.

[0050] S5. Post-processing of the differential housing.

[0051] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, in the above clamping state, referring to existing process technology, the unprocessed parts of the differential housing are processed by using the integrated turning, milling, and grinding functions of the composite machine tool to complete the remaining processing operations.

[0052] When the composite machine tool is working, the two main units 3 in the planetary gear shaft hole opening device can adjust their positions based on the first slide rail 1 and the second slide rail 7 to avoid the tool table, tool turret and other mechanisms in the composite machine tool, so as to ensure the efficient clamping and machining operations.

[0053] The planetary gear shaft hole opening device is installed on a compound machine tool to work, without the need for a separate main shaft and clamp, which can significantly reduce equipment cost investment; the planetary gear shaft hole opening device can perform drilling, boring and grinding three processing methods for the planetary gear shaft hole, and can automatically complete the turnover operation of the differential housing, has relatively perfect functions, high integration and compact structure.

[0057] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 to improve the grinding effect of the grinding tool 10 on the planetary gear shaft hole and the stability when clamping the differential housing; preferably, the plane grinding surface is circular, and the center is located on the center line of the output shaft 6.

[0058] In addition, it is worth noting that when the differential housing is flipped, the two grinding tools 10 bear the task of clamping the differential housing, so the grinding tool 10 should have high strength, which can usually be improved in two ways:

[0059] On the one hand, the strength of the grinding tool 10 is improved by material selection, such as using metal bond grinding tools, ceramic bond grinding tools, etc. with high strength;

[0060] On the other hand, the strength of the grinding tool 10 can be improved by structural optimization, for example, the grinding tool 10 is round and is fixedly connected to the output shaft 6, thereby improving the overall strength of the grinding tool 10.

[0061] Preferably, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 After the planetary gear shaft hole opening device is installed on the compound machine tool, the two main machines 3 are located at the two ends of the first slide rail 1 in the initial state, and the first slide rail 1 is located at one end of the second slide rail 7 close to the root of the main shaft 20 of the compound machine tool; thus, in the initial state of the planetary gear shaft hole opening device, the two main machines 3 are located on both sides of the root of the main shaft 20 of the compound machine tool, thereby reducing the space interference caused by clamping and machining operations on the differential housing.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 After the planetary gear shaft hole opening device is installed on the compound machine tool, the two main machines 3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main shaft 20 of the compound machine tool, and the two main machines 3 always maintain symmetry during the movement driven by the first feed transmission mechanism; thus, the planetary gear shaft hole opening device can simultaneously process two planetary gear shaft holes, and the radial forces generated on both sides of the main shaft 20 during the processing of the two planetary gear shaft holes can be offset, thereby significantly reducing the working load of the main shaft 20 and the clamp 21, improving the operating stability of the main shaft 20, and improving the processing quality.

[0063] In the planetary gear shaft hole opening device, the first feed transmission mechanism is used to adjust the position of the main machine 3 on the first slide rail 1. Based on the setting purpose, the first feed transmission mechanism can use two linear drive mechanisms commonly used in the prior art to adjust the position of the two main machines 3; similarly, the second feed transmission mechanism can also use a linear drive mechanism commonly used in the prior art to achieve the function of adjusting the position of the first slide rail 1. For the first feed transmission mechanism, the present application provides a preferred embodiment, and the specific structure is:

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5As shown, the first feeding transmission mechanism comprises a motor device 2 and a screw rod 19, the motor device 2 and the screw rod 19 are in transmission connection; the screw rod 19 is rotationally fixed in the first slide rail 1 and the extension directions of the two are consistent, the screw rod 19 is provided with two threaded zones, the rotation directions of the threads in the two threaded zones are opposite; the two main machines 3 are respectively fixedly connected with a screw sleeve 18, the two screw sleeves 18 are respectively in threaded cooperation with the two threaded zones; in the rotation process of the screw rod 19, the two main machines 3 are synchronously moved in opposite directions;

[0065] Based on the design, on the one hand, the two main machines 3 are jointly driven and the positions are adjusted by the motor device 2 and the screw rod 19, so that the structure of the first feeding transmission mechanism is very simple and the operation energy consumption is relatively low; on the other hand, the consistency of the stroke directions of the two main machines 3 is ensured, the coaxiality of the two planetary gear shaft holes can be improved, and the machining quality of the differential case is improved.

[0066] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in the present planetary gear shaft hole opening device, the boring cutter 4 is installed on the output shaft 6 to perform boring processing on the planetary gear shaft hole, so as to improve the form and position accuracy of the planetary gear shaft hole; in order to improve the boring efficiency and accuracy, two boring cutters 4 are installed on each output shaft 6, the two boring cutters 4 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft 6, and are respectively used for rough boring and fine boring of the planetary gear shaft hole, so as to gradually correct the hole wall error of the planetary gear shaft hole, thereby improving the machining accuracy.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the main machine 3 is provided with a rotatable power shaft 8, one end of the power shaft 8 is in transmission connection with the driving system inside the main machine 3, the other end of the power shaft 8 is located outside the main machine 3 and a first insertion hole 17 is formed in the end face, and the power shaft 8 is provided with a first locking piece 11; the output shaft 6 is provided with a first plug 16 at the end away from the drill bit 5, the first plug 16 is inserted into the first insertion hole 17 and locked by the first locking piece 11, so that the output shaft 6 and the power shaft 8 are fixedly connected and the center lines of the two coincide; the grinding tool 10 is in the shape of a circular sheet, a pin hole 13 is formed in the middle part, the first plug 16 passes through the pin hole 13 of the grinding tool 10, and the end faces of the output shaft 6 and the power shaft 8 clamp the grinding tool 10;

[0068] Based on the above design, the output shaft 6 and the grinding tool 10 are in an assembled structure, which is easy to maintain and can be quickly replaced according to actual machining needs; in the specific implementation process, the first insertion hole 17, the first plug 16 and the pin hole 13 can adopt a non-circular matching structure to prevent the power shaft 8, the output shaft 6 and the grinding tool 10 from rotating relative to each other;

[0069] Further, the power shaft 8 is provided with a recess 12 for mounting the grinding tool 10 on the end face of the first insertion hole 17, so that the grinding tool 10 can be provided with balanced and stable support, and good installation limiting effect can be achieved, the working performance of the grinding tool 10 is improved and the service life is prolonged; the output shaft 6 is provided with a second insertion hole 15 on the end of the drill bit 5, the output shaft 6 is provided with a second locking member 9, the drill bit 5 is provided with a second bolt 14, the second bolt 14 is inserted into the second insertion hole 15 and locked by the second locking member 9, so that the output shaft 6 and the drill bit 5 are fixedly connected and the center lines of the two coincide; thus, the drill bit 5 can be maintained or replaced according to actual processing needs.

[0070] Specifically, the first locking member 11 and the second locking member 9 are countersunk head bolts.
