Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of internal hole broaching technology, specifically to a broaching machine for the internal hole of a metal bellows end connector. Background Technology

[0002] The metal bellows end joint is a rigid hub component that is welded and fixed to the end of the metal bellows. It has a pre-made through bottom hole and an internal spline hole is formed by broaching. It relies on the internal spline to mesh with the drive shaft to transmit alternating torque. At the same time, it cooperates with the bellows to realize shaft misalignment compensation. This component is a thin-walled welded assembly. After welding, it is prone to end face warping deformation. The bellows body connected to the rear end has high flexibility and low rigidity.

[0003] Metal bellows end joints, also known as metal bellows couplings, are typically broached and then welded to the metal bellows in actual production. Metal bellows couplings use a thin-walled, corrugated metal bellows as the elastic transmission base, with zero-backlash transmission components fixed to both ends. During operation, they transmit alternating torque through the torsional deformation of the bellows and compensate for axial, radial, and angular installation deviations between the two shafts using the elastic deformation of the bellows. They feature low transmission backlash and resistance to alternating loads, and are often used in high-precision servo drive applications. The broaching process allows for the machining of precision-compliant internal splines in the pre-drilled through holes of the end joint, enabling meshing transmission with the drive shaft.

[0004] However, existing broaching equipment for the inner hole of metal bellows end fittings has the following shortcomings: However, during the later quality inspection of some finished metal bellows, the spline dimensions on the inner side do not meet the standards, thus requiring secondary rework. However, the inner diameter of the metal bellows and the pipe end joint are the same. Therefore, the broach will directly affect the inner wall of the metal bellows during broaching. Furthermore, cutting and welding the finished coupling will directly affect the product's appearance and quality. In summary, the pipe end joint cannot be reworked by traditional broaching after welding. As a result, there is a lack of broaching equipment for metal bellows end joints under this situation.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a broaching machine for the inner hole of a metal bellows end connector to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

It solves the problems of traditional bellows couplings requiring cutting and re-welding when the inner diameter is substandard, which is cumbersome, wasteful, and prone to precision deviations and workpiece deformation due to secondary welding.

Through staggered half-gear transmission and a motor operating in both directions, it drives the upper and lower sliding cutter blocks to reciprocate broach the inner walls of both ends of the coupling for rework. Simultaneously, the core rod adjusts the extension and retraction stroke of the cutter blocks to precisely control the broached outer diameter, adapting to the repair work of workpieces with different dimensional deviations. It eliminates the need for secondary welding and reassembly, simplifying the rework process and improving the accuracy and efficiency of coupling inner diameter rework.

A turntable 224 is provided on the inner side of the clamping module 201, and a finished metal bellows coupling 202 is provided on the inner side of the turntable 224.

The top of the broaching machine body 1 is rear... A lifting head 3 is mounted on the side. A buffer surface 226 is mounted on the outer side of the output end of the lifting head 3. The top end of the puller main rod 208 passes through the buffer surface 226 and slides on the inner side of the buffer surface 226. A limit ring 211 is mounted on the top of the puller main rod 208. A second stepper motor 207 is mounted on the top of the buffer surface 226. An external threaded pipe fitting 209 is mounted on the outer side of the puller main rod 208. An internal threaded pipe fitting 210 is provided on the outer side of the external threaded pipe fitting 209.

Small gear rings 225 are mounted on the inner side of the two turntables 224. The small gear rings 225 are sleeved on the outer side of the internal threaded pipe fitting 210. A rotatable limiting shaft 213 is connected to the second stepper motor 207, the main cutter rod 208, the buffer smooth surface 226, the limiting shaft 213, the turntable 224, the small gear ring 225, the internally threaded pipe fitting 210, and the externally threaded pipe fitting 209 are all located inside the output end of the lifting head 3. This allows the lifting head 3 to drive the second stepper motor 207, the main cutter rod 208, the buffer smooth surface 226, the limiting shaft 213, the turntable 224, the small gear ring 225, the internally threaded pipe fitting 210, and the externally threaded pipe fitting 209 to move upward. Multiple cutter grooves 214 are equidistantly spaced on the outer side of the main cutter rod 208. Each cutter groove 214 has a sliding cutter block 216 slidably connected to its inner side, and multiple limiting base blocks 215 are equidistantly installed on the inner side of the cutter groove 214.Multiple limiting sliders 217 are equidistantly mounted on both sides of the sliding cutter block 216. These limiting sliders 217 slide within adjacent limiting base blocks 215. Each sliding cutter block 216 has an arc surface 220 on its inner side. A core rod 218 is mounted on the inner side of an arc ring 219. The top of the core rod 218 is mounted at the bottom output end of the second stepper motor 207. The arc ring 219 rotates within the arc surfaces 220 and the main cutter rod 208.

[0022] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: After the metal bellows and pipe ends are welded to form the finished metal bellows coupling 202, an endoscopic dimensional quality inspection is required. When the inspection reveals that the inner diameter of the coupling is smaller than the process standard and there is a dimensional deviation, in order to avoid the cumbersome process, material loss, and reduced welding accuracy caused by cutting the workpiece and re-welding and assembling it in the traditional rework method, the unqualified coupling is placed vertically inside the turntable 224 inside the clamping module 201. The clamping module 201 is activated to complete the workpiece positioning and clamping. Relying on the exclusive inner groove structure design of the turntable 224, the clamping force and the weight of the workpiece are both borne by the pipe ends of the coupling, avoiding deformation damage caused by pressure and force on the main body of the bellows, and ensuring the workpiece With the main structure intact and the workpiece clamped and fixed, the lifting head 3 is activated to drive the top broach module downwards. At this time, the coupling is stably positioned inside the turntable 224, and its bottom is fitted onto the outer side of the buffer smooth surface 226 of the bottom broach module. During the downward movement of the top broach module, the end arc ring 219 is precisely inserted into the center position of the bottom broach module. The arc ring 219 slides smoothly along the corresponding mating arc surface 220 to the bottom, so that the top broach module and the buffer smooth surface 226 of the bottom broach module are precisely mated. At this time, the bottom of the coupling is fitted onto the outer side of the bottom buffer smooth surface 226, and the top is fitted onto the outer side of the top buffer smooth surface 226. The upper and lower ends of the workpiece are positioned and mated, completing the pre-rework assembly preparation work. After assembly, the first step of power supply is activated. Machine 203 drives the rotating rod to rotate, which synchronously drives the first half gear 205 and the second half gear 206 to rotate. Due to the staggered tooth arrangement of the two sets of half gears, the top and bottom small gear rings 225 are driven to operate independently and in staggered shifts. When the top small gear ring 225 rotates, the internal threaded pipe fitting 210 and the turntable 224 rotate synchronously. The turntable 224 rotates stably with the limit shaft 213 to ensure the coaxiality and operational stability of the overall transmission structure. The rotation of the internal threaded pipe fitting 210 drives the external threaded pipe fitting 209 to move axially upward through the threaded transmission, which synchronously drives the broach main rod 208 and the sliding cutter block 216 to move upward. The upward sliding cutter block 216 is used to perform friction broaching on the inner wall of the upper end of the coupling to complete the coupling. During the secondary rework of the inner diameter of the top of the coupling, the second half gear 206 engages with the bottom small gear ring 225 while maintaining rotation in the same direction. This drives the bottom sliding cutter block 216 to feed to the inner side of the bottom end of the coupling. Then, the first step motor 203 is started in reverse, and the second half gear 206 reverses to drive the bottom small gear ring 225 to rotate, driving the bottom sliding cutter block 216 back to its initial position, completing the broaching operation of the inner wall of the bottom end of the coupling. At the same time, the first half gear 205 reverses synchronously, driving the top sliding cutter block 216 to reset to the inner side of the upper end of the coupling. By switching the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, the sliding cutter block 216 reciprocates at the upper and lower ends of the coupling, completing the cyclic and precise broaching rework of the inner diameter of both ends of the coupling.

[0023] Example 2, according to Figure 2 - Figure 11 As shown, the main broach 208, externally threaded pipe fitting 209, internally threaded pipe fitting 210, limiting ring 211, broach guard ring 212, limiting rotating shaft 213, broach slide groove 214, limiting base block 215, sliding blade block 216, limiting slider 217, turntable 224, and small gear ring 225 are combined to form a broach module structure. Another broach module structure is located at the bottom of the broach module structure. This other broach module structure has the opposite component layout to the broach module structure and is located at the bottom of the broach module structure. The first half gear 205 is connected to the top... The small gear 225 meshes with the second half gear 206 and the bottom small gear 225. A buffer smooth surface 226 is provided on the outer side of the other end of the broach main rod 208. A first fixed frame 221 is installed on the inner side of the broaching machine body 1. A second fixed frame 222 is installed at the bottom of the first fixed frame 221. The bottom limiting shaft 213 is installed on the inner side of the first fixed frame 221. The bottom end of the bottom broach main rod 208 is slidably connected to the inner side of the second fixed frame 222. An opening 4 is provided on the top of the broaching machine body 1. The bottom broach main rod 208 is located on the inner side of the opening 4.

[0024] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: During the broaching process, the second stepper motor 207 can drive the core rod 218 to rotate. The rotation of the core rod 218 changes the contact position between the outer arc ring 219 and the arc surface 220, and precisely adjusts the extension and retraction stroke of the sliding tool block 216 inside the broach slide groove 214. This allows for flexible adjustment of the overall working outer diameter of the broach module, adapting to the rework requirements of couplings with different inner diameter deviations, and achieving refined and precise broaching finishing operations.

[0025] The working principle of the entire equipment is as follows: When the metal bellows and its pipe end are welded to form the finished metal bellows coupling 202, if its inner diameter drawing dimension is lower than the standard value during quality inspection, in order to avoid repeated welding and assembly after cutting, it is placed vertically in the turntable 224 opened inside the clamping module 201. The clamping module 201 is activated to clamp and fix it. Through the special inner groove shape of the turntable 224, when the clamping module 201 clamps the metal bellows coupling, the clamping weight is borne by its pipe end, avoiding deformation of the metal bellows due to stress. After the clamping work is completed, the lifting head 3 is activated to drive the broaching module structure to move downward synchronously. At this time, the metal bellows coupling is located inside the turntable 224 and on the bottom broaching module structure. On the outer side of the buffer smooth surface 226, when the lifting head 3 drives the top drawer module structure to move downward, the arc ring 219 inserts into the inner center position of the bottom drawer module structure, so that the arc ring 219 moves closely to each arc surface 220 towards the bottom of the bottom drawer module structure, and finally the top drawer module structure contacts the buffer smooth surface 226 on the bottom drawer module structure. At this time, the bottom sleeve of the metal bellows coupling is located on the outer side of the buffer smooth surface 226 on the bottom drawer module structure, and the top sleeve of the metal bellows coupling is located on the outer side of the buffer smooth surface 226 on the top drawer module structure. At this time, the installation and preparation work is completed. The first stepper motor 203 is turned on to drive the traditional rod 204 to rotate, so that the traditional rod 204 synchronously drives the first half gear 2. The rotation of the first half gear 205 and the second half gear 206 drives the rotation of the top and bottom small gear rings 225, respectively. Because the teeth of the first half gear 205 and the second half gear 206 are staggered, the top and bottom small gear rings 225 rotate separately. When the top small gear ring 225 rotates, it rotates synchronously with the internal threaded pipe fitting 210 and the turntable 224. The turntable 224 rotates within the limiting shaft 213 to ensure the overall stability of the small gear ring 225, the internal threaded pipe fitting 210, and the turntable 224. When the internal threaded pipe fitting 210 rotates, it drives the external threaded pipe fitting 209 to move upwards through the threaded connection. The external threaded pipe fitting 209 synchronously drives the broaching main rod 208 to move upwards. This causes the sliding cutter block 216 to move upwards. Through friction within the metal bellows coupling, the sliding cutter block 216 performs a secondary broaching rework on the top end of the metal bellows coupling. Simultaneously, the conventional rod 204 drives the second half-gear 206 to rotate until it meshes with the bottom small gear ring 225. When the rotation directions of the second half-gear 206 and the first half-gear 205 are the same, the sliding cutter block 216 on the bottom broaching module structure is moved to the inner side of the bottom end of the metal bellows coupling. At this point, the first stepper motor 203 is started in reverse, causing the second half-gear 206 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the small gear ring 225 to rotate in the opposite direction, thus causing the bottom sliding cutter block 216 to move downwards.This allows the bottom sliding cutter block 216 to perform broaching on the bottom of the metal bellows coupling. Simultaneously, because the conventional rod 204 is in a reverse state, the first half-gear 205 also reverses synchronously. The reversed first half-gear 205 drives the top small gear ring 225 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the top sliding cutter block 216 to return to the inner top of the metal bellows coupling. This process is repeated to achieve broaching on the inner top and bottom of the metal bellows coupling. Furthermore, the second stepper motor 207 drives the core rod 218 to rotate, changing the contact position between its outer arc ring 219 and the arc surface 220, thus altering the sliding distance of the sliding cutter block 216 within the broach groove 214. This allows for precise adjustment of the working outer diameter of the entire broach module structure, enabling precise broaching adjustments.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
