[0024] The output terminal of the processing controller 30 is connected to the input terminal of the LED energy-saving lamp 23, and the output terminal of the processing controller 30 is connected to the input terminal of the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10.

[0032] The specific implementation method is as follows: When using this invention, the blank to be processed is placed on the fixed plate 11 on the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10. Then, the processing controller 30 controls the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10 to start, so that the output shaft of the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10 extends, causing the two fixed plates 11 to move closer to each other until the blank is clamped. After clamping, the compression spring 19 is in a compressed state. When the blank is just fixed, the processing controller 30 starts the gear hobbing motor 6. The gear hobbing motor 6 drives the gear hobbing processing roller 8 to rotate, performing gear hobbing processing on the blank. During this process, the processing controller 30 controls the fixed motor... 9. Start-up: The fixed motor 9 starts, driving the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed plate 11 to rotate, and in turn drives the blank to rotate. The fixed plate 11 at the top drives the turntable 15 to rotate at the bottom of the processing extension arm 5. Then, during the gear hobbing process, the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10 will continue to push the blank upward until the teeth on the blank are completely machined. When it is completely machined, the compression spring 19 is just compressed to its limit position. During the gear hobbing process, the processing controller 30 will start the powerful suction pump 26. The powerful suction pump 26 absorbs the waste generated during processing through the waste suction pipe 5. Waste is sucked into the waste storage box 28 through the connecting pipe 27 for temporary storage. It can be cleaned through the box door. After processing, the processing controller 30 starts the fixed hydraulic cylinder 10 to retract the output shaft, so that the gear is released. Then the gear is removed and placed on the inspection table 22. Then the processing controller 30 starts the LED energy-saving lamp 23. At the same time, the processing controller 30 starts the visual inspection camera 24 to take a picture of the appearance of the gear to be inspected and sends the picture to the image recognition module 35 for processing. Then the image recognition module 35 recognizes the appearance of the gear to be inspected taken by the visual inspection camera 24 through the standard part appearance cloud memory 32 and transmits the recognition result to the processing controller 30 for processing. If there are defects, the processing controller 30 starts the alarm 33 to remind the staff to deal with the defective product. If there are no defects, the next piece is processed. This allows the invention to effectively remove the waste generated during the processing, avoiding the waste from affecting the processing progress. At the same time, the appearance inspection can be carried out in time after processing without the need for additional inspection processing, which significantly improves efficiency. Thus, the actual use effect of the invention is quite ideal.
[0033] Working principle of this invention: Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7When using this invention, the structure including a fixed plate 11, a powerful suction pump 26, a visual inspection camera 24, and a compression spring 19 enables the invention to effectively and promptly remove waste during processing, preventing waste from affecting the processing progress.
