Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear hobbing machine technology, specifically a gear hobbing machine center frame. Background Technology
[0002] The gear hobbing machine is one of the most widely used machine tools in gear processing. It can cut spur gears, helical gears, worm gears, sprockets, etc.
[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN219093873U discloses a gear hobbing machine center frame, including a main column, a mounting ring fixedly mounted on the surface of the main column, a connector fixedly mounted on the right side surface of the mounting ring, a center frame mechanism for fixing workpieces of different shapes on the surface of the connector, and a folding mechanism for supporting or storing the center frame mechanism on the surface of the main column. This gear hobbing machine center frame solves the problem that existing gear hobbing machine center frames are generally fixedly mounted on the gear hobbing machine. During daily workpiece processing, some workpieces require the use of the gear hobbing machine center frame, while others do not. This leads to the gear hobbing machine center frame hindering the processing of some workpieces during operation, resulting in frequent disassembly and installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, when the center frame is needed, it can only clamp workpieces of the same shape, limiting its application range.
[0004] Although the technical solutions in the aforementioned patent documents avoid frequent disassembly and assembly of the central frame and achieve adaptive clamping for different workpieces, in actual operation, the central frame mechanism relies solely on the long rod in the folding mechanism for support. The force on the long rod is relatively concentrated, making it extremely prone to damage and limiting the product's service life. Furthermore, the long rod achieves its support effect on the central frame mechanism by rotating the connecting ring along with the adjusting cylinder, resulting in a significant manual burden during operation.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a gear hobbing machine center rest to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

Through the cooperation of a support component, a sleeve, and a drive component, the center frame mechanism can be adjusted by rotation. The center frame mechanism is fixedly connected to the sleeve, thus ensuring its service life. With the addition of a limiting component, the adjusted center frame mechanism can achieve stable positioning, avoiding shaking that would affect the stability of the workpiece it limits. Furthermore, the adjustment of the center frame mechanism requires less manual operation, is more convenient to operate, and has high practicality, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment of the invention, a gear hobbing machine center frame includes a main column 1 and a center frame mechanism 4 for limiting the workpiece. A support member 2 and a driving member 6 are fixedly connected to the main column 1, with the driving member 6 located above the support member 2. A top ring 5, sleeved on the main column 1, is installed at the output end of the driving member 6. A sleeve 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top ring 5, and the sleeve 3 is slidably sleeved with the support member 2. The rotatable connection between the sleeve 3 and the top ring 5 allows the sleeve 3 to rotate during adjustment of the center frame mechanism 4, ensuring flexible adjustment of the center frame mechanism 4. A fixed frame for mounting the center frame mechanism 4 and a limiting component 7 for clamping and limiting are integrally provided on the sleeve 3. The assembly of the center frame mechanism 4 on the fixed frame ensures the stability of the center frame mechanism 4 when clamping and limiting the workpiece, and extends its service life.
[0023] The limiting assembly 7 includes holes formed in the side walls of the sleeve 3, into which insert rods 71 for limiting are inserted. A driven wedge 72 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the insert rod 71, and an active wedge 73 is provided on the inclined surface of the driven wedge 72 for sliding contact with it. An adjusting rod 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the active wedge 73, and a ring is movably connected to the top of multiple adjusting rods 74. An inner threaded ring 75 is fixedly connected to the top of the ring, and the inner threaded ring 75 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 3. A spring for reset adjustment is fitted on each insert rod 71, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driven wedge 72, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the sleeve 3. When the limiting assembly 7 is adjusted, the inner threaded ring 75 is rotated, thereby causing multiple adjusting rods 74 to move during the rotational lifting adjustment of the inner threaded ring 75, causing the corresponding active wedge 73 to shift. When the active wedge 73 is raised or lowered, the corresponding driven wedge 72 is squeezed or released, thereby achieving the extension and retraction adjustment of the insertion rod 71 under the action of the spring, so as to realize the insertion limit or cancellation adjustment between the sleeve 3 and the support member 2.
[0024] The support component 2 consists of a guide sleeve 21 and a support ring 22, both of which are fitted onto the outer shell wall of the main column 1. The support ring 22 is located at the bottom end of the guide sleeve 21. Multiple guide grooves are formed along the circumferential direction on the outer shell wall of the guide sleeve 21, while multiple guide strips are integrally formed along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the sleeve 3. The cooperation between the guide strips and the guide grooves enables the sleeve 3 to slide and fit onto the support component 2.
[0025] The driving component 6 includes a fixed sleeve 61 that is bolted to the main column 1. Cylinders 62 for lifting and adjusting are installed on both sides of the fixed sleeve 61, and the output end of each cylinder 62 is fixedly connected to the top ring 5. The dual-sided arrangement of the cylinders 62 ensures the stability of the lifting and lowering movement of the sleeve 3 during operation.
[0026] Both sides of the top of the fixed frame are integrally provided with support plates, and guide holes are opened on the support plates for guidance. The top end of the adjusting rod 74 passes through the guide hole and is fixedly connected to a slider. The bottom of the ring has an annular groove, and the ends of multiple sliders away from the adjusting rod 74 are slidably connected in the annular groove. The sliding connection of the adjusting rod 74 with the sliders in the annular groove ensures that when the inner ring 75 is rotated on the sleeve 3, it drives the adjusting rod 74 to rise and fall.
[0027] Limiting holes are provided on both sides of the guide sleeve 21, and the insertion rod 71 is inserted into the limiting hole for positioning.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the central frame mechanism 4 needs to be adjusted, the limiting component 7 on it is first adjusted to remove the limiting effect between the sleeve 3 and the support member 2. Then, the cylinder 62 in the drive component 6 is activated, causing the top ring 5 to move the sleeve 3 upward. After the sleeve 3 disengages from the support member 2, the drive component 6 stops running. Then, the sleeve 3, which carries the central frame mechanism 4, is rotated 180 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the displacement of the central frame mechanism 4 on the sleeve 3. After the adjustment is completed, the drive component 6 resets, causing the sleeve 3 to move downward and slide into contact with the support member 2. Then, the limiting component 7 is adjusted to lock the sleeve 3 and the support member 2.
[0029] When the central frame mechanism 4 is not needed, the limiting component 7 is first adjusted to cancel the limiting effect. Then, under the action of the driving component 6, the sleeve 3 is moved upward to separate it from the support component 2 and rotated for adjustment. Then, the driving component 6 moves the sleeve downward. Finally, the limiting component 7 completes the limiting lock between the sleeve 3 and the adjusting component 2 to complete the adjustment operation of the central frame mechanism 4.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
