Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0022] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution: a quenching fixture for reducing the heat treatment deformation of the output gear of an aircraft engine, comprising a positioning core shaft 1 and an outer pressure ring 4 installed on the quenching plate, and an inner pressure ring 3 and an outer ring support ring 2 installed on the oil cylinder of the press. The positioning core shaft 1 is inserted into the center hole of the output gear 5 to position the output gear 5. The outer pressure ring 4 and the outer ring support ring 2 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the outer edge of the output gear 5. The outer pressure ring 4 and the outer ring support ring 2 have the same diameter, which clamps the outer edge of the output gear 5 and increases the Regarding the pressure on the output gear 5, the lower end of the inner pressure ring 3 is located at the upper end of the center hole of the output gear 5, pressing the output gear 5 against the quenching plate, and applying pressure to the outer edge of the output gear 5 through the cooperation of the outer pressure ring 4 and the outer ring support ring 2. At the same time, the inner pressure ring 3 is used to apply pressure to the center of the output gear 5, so that the thermal stress and pressure generated by the output gear 5 during heat treatment offset each other, reducing the deformation of the output gear 5, and stabilizing the outer tooth end face runout of the output gear 5 within 0.2 mm, which greatly improves the qualified rate and reduces the scrap loss.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning core shaft 1 includes a core shaft portion 13, and a clamping step 11 is formed at the lower end of the core shaft portion 13. The diameter of the clamping step 11 is smaller than the diameter of the core shaft portion 13. The clamping step 11 is clamped on the fixture of the quenching press to position and install the positioning core shaft 1.

[0024] Positioning teeth 12 are formed on the surface of the core shaft portion 13 , and the positioning teeth 12 cooperate with the inner wall of the center hole of the output gear 5 . The positioning teeth 12 fix the position of the output gear 5 so that the output gear 5 and the inner pressure ring 3 are on the same center line.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the outer ring support ring 2 includes a support ring body 21, and evenly distributed heat dissipation holes 22 are opened on the surface of the support ring body 21. The heat dissipation holes 22 increase the heat dissipation efficiency, make the heat dissipation uniform, and reduce the thermal stress caused by uneven heating.

[0027] Heat dissipation holes 42 are also provided on the surface of the outer pressure ring body 41 , which increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the outer pressure ring 4 and make the heat dissipation uniform, thereby avoiding uneven heating and generating additional thermal stress.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the inner pressure ring 3 includes a cone 35, and the upper and lower ends of the cone 35 are respectively formed with a connecting ring 31 and a lower pressure ring 33. The connecting ring 31 is connected to the upper oil cylinder of the press, and the lower pressure ring 33 is pressed on the upper end of the output gear 5. The output gear 5 is pressurized by the lower pressure ring 33 to position and shape the output gear 5. The cone 35 increases the contact area between the inner pressure ring 3 and the outside world, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
