Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of expansion clamps and relates to an expansion sleeve for machining a two-axis gear shaping machine. Background Art

[0002] The expansion sleeve currently used in the gear shaping fixture is a double-tapered expansion sleeve. The height of the positioning surface of the inner hole of the second-axis gear is 6.75mm; the height of the expansion sleeve is 22mm; there is a height difference of 15.25mm between the two. Since the workpiece positioning hole is relatively short, when the workpiece clamping action is completed, the double-tapered expansion sleeve only expands the workpiece by 6.75mm at the upper end, while about 15.25mm of the lower half of the expansion sleeve is suspended in the air, resulting in different expansion amounts of the upper and lower halves of the expansion sleeve, that is, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. Since the upper and lower expansion amounts of the gear expansion sleeve are different, and the clamping and loosening actions are repeated for a long time, the double-conical expansion sleeve will inevitably be deformed and take on an "eight" shape with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. When tightening the workpiece, it will be found that the contact surface between the expansion sleeve and the workpiece is in line contact rather than surface contact. It is easy to loosen during processing, causing tooling or tooth breakage. At the same time, the double-conical expansion sleeve will also be damaged due to deformation. The current solution is to make a force ring and put it on the lower end of the expansion sleeve to constrain the outward expansion force of the lower end of the expansion sleeve, so that the expansion amount of the upper and lower ends of the expansion sleeve is consistent, and the workpiece is not easy to loosen after clamping, and the expansion sleeve is not easy to be damaged. However, the current solution is cumbersome to operate, and it is easy to forget to put the force ring after changing production, resulting in rework and low production efficiency. At the same time, the iron filings generated are not easy to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] The utility model discloses an expansion sleeve for processing a two-axis gear shaping machine, comprising an expansion sleeve body; a plurality of expansion grooves are provided on the expansion sleeve body, and the plurality of expansion grooves are arranged on the same side of the expansion sleeve body; the expansion sleeve is provided with a plurality of expansion grooves on the same side of the expansion sleeve body to form a single-sided groove body, and a first conical surface is provided at one end inside the expansion sleeve body, and a second conical surface is provided at the other end. When the expansion sleeve is used, the first conical surface is matched with the conical surface of the pull rod, and the second conical surface is matched with the conical surface of the shaping fixture body, so that when clamping, the clamping cylinder is connected to the pull rod and moves downward, so that the conical surface of the pull rod exerts a downward pulling force on the conical surface of the upper end of the expansion sleeve, so that the upper end of the expansion sleeve expands outward and is tightened against the inner hole of the workpiece, while the lower end of the expansion sleeve and the conical surface of the shaping fixture body are pressed against each other without an outward expansion force, and only play a positioning role. At this time, its clamping state is that the workpiece will be tightened very tightly without loosening, and the expansion sleeve is not easily damaged, thereby avoiding the occurrence of knife hitting and tooth breakage. At the same time, a boss is integrally provided on the outer side of the expansion sleeve body, and the boss is provided on the outer side of the second conical surface, which effectively enhances the structural strength of the bottom of the expansion sleeve and avoids cracking of the bottom of the expansion groove.

[0020] Furthermore, the plurality of expansion grooves are evenly spaced along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body, so that the outward expansion force can be evenly distributed on the expansion sleeve body.

[0021] Furthermore, several of the expansion grooves include a first groove body and a second groove body that are integrally arranged. The width of the second groove body along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body is greater than the width of the first groove body along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body, which is conducive to the expansion of the upper end of the expansion sleeve body and plays a positioning role.

[0022] Furthermore, the cross-section of the second groove body along the circumferential direction of the expansion sleeve body is circular, which can make it easier for the expansion groove to expand when the expansion sleeve and the pull rod are tightened and subjected to force.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of the boss is flush with the bottom of the expansion sleeve body, which effectively improves the structural strength of the bottom of the expansion sleeve body.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the expansion groove is flush with the top of the boss, which avoids cracking of the bottom of the expansion groove during the expansion process, affecting the quality and life.

[0025] Furthermore, an empty tool groove is provided on the outer side of the expansion sleeve body. The provision of the empty tool groove facilitates the external grinding of the expansion sleeve after heat treatment during the manufacturing process.

[0026] Furthermore, the empty knife groove is arranged along the circumferential direction of the expansion sleeve body, which can reduce the wall thickness of the expansion sleeve and facilitate the tightening of the expansion sleeve.

[0027] Furthermore, a chamfered surface is provided on one side of the boss close to the empty knife groove, and the provision of the chamfered surface facilitates the removal of iron cuttings.

[0028] Furthermore, the distance between the bottom of the expansion groove and the bottom of the expansion sleeve body is 5 mm. The setting of this distance ensures that the expansion sleeve can ensure its positioning while ensuring its structural strength. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0045] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the utility model provides a two-axis gear shaping machine expansion sleeve, including an expansion sleeve body 5; a plurality of expansion grooves 51 are provided on the expansion sleeve body 5, and the plurality of expansion grooves 51 are arranged on the same side of the expansion sleeve body 5, that is, a single-sided expansion groove 51 is formed, and a first conical surface 7 is provided at one end of the expansion sleeve body 5, and a second conical surface 8 is provided at the other end. When the expansion sleeve is used, the first conical surface 7 is matched with the pull rod conical surface 9, and the second conical surface 8 is matched with the conical surface 4 of the gear shaping fixture body; a boss 52 is integrally provided on the outer side of the expansion sleeve body 5, and the boss 52 is arranged on the outer side of the second conical surface 8.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of expansion grooves 51 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body 5, so that the outward expansion force is evenly distributed on the expansion sleeve body 5. The number of the expansion grooves 51 is preferably twelve.

[0047] In another preferred embodiment, several of the expansion grooves 51 include an integrally formed first groove 53 and a second groove 54. The width of the second groove 54 along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body 5 is greater than the width of the first groove 53 along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body 5. Preferably, the cross-section of the second groove 54 along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body 5 is circular, which facilitates the expansion of the upper end of the expansion sleeve body 5 and serves as a positioning function.

[0048] To improve the structural strength of the bottom of the expansion sleeve body 5, the bottom of the boss 52 is flush with the bottom of the expansion sleeve body 5. At the same time, to prevent cracking at the bottom of the expansion groove 51 during expansion, which would affect quality and lifespan, the bottom of the expansion groove 51 is flush with the top of the boss 52. Specifically, the distance between the bottom of the expansion groove 51 and the bottom of the expansion sleeve body 5 is 5mm. In a specific embodiment, the expansion sleeve height is 22mm, the distance between the bottom of the expansion groove 51 and the bottom of the expansion sleeve body 5 is 5mm, the thickness of the boss 52 is also 5mm, and the bottom of the expansion sleeve body 5 is flush with the bottom of the boss 52.

[0049] In addition, in a preferred embodiment, an empty knife groove 55 is further provided on the outer side of the expansion sleeve body 5 , and the empty knife groove 55 is arranged along the circumference of the expansion sleeve body 5 .

[0050] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the removal of iron cuttings, a chamfered surface 56 is provided on one side of the boss 52 close to the empty knife groove 55 .

[0051] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in the process of using the expansion sleeve, first install the fixture body 2 on the workbench, connect the support seat 3 with the fixture body 2, use a table to align the radial runout of the fixture body conical surface 4, and the runout is required to be within 0.001mm, then connect the expansion sleeve 5 with the fixture body conical surface 4 and install it, insert the pull rod 1 into the inner hole of the expansion sleeve 5 and connect it to the machine tool tensioning cylinder, and finally install the workpiece 6. When the gear shaping fixture is clamped, the second conical surface 8 contacts the conical surface 4 of the gear shaping fixture body to play a positioning role, and the first conical surface 8 is in contact with ... Surface 7 is in contact with the tapered surface 9 of the pull rod, and the pull rod is connected to the clamping cylinder of the workbench. When clamping, the clamping cylinder moves downward together with the pull rod 1, so that the tapered surface 9 of the pull rod exerts a downward pulling force on the first tapered surface 7, causing the first tapered surface 7 to expand outward and tighten against the inner hole of the workpiece, while the second tapered surface 8 and the tapered surface 4 of the gear shaping fixture body are pressed against each other without an outward expansion force, and only play a positioning role. At this time, in the clamping state, the workpiece will be tightened very tightly without loosening, and the expansion sleeve will not be easily damaged, thus avoiding the occurrence of knife hitting and tooth breakage.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
