[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a high-precision gear hobbing machine capable of automatic feeding, which is used for gear hobbing a gear blank 2 with a through hole 1 in the center, including a frame 3, a processing slide frame 4, a rotating shaft 5, a positioning member, a feeding slide frame 7, a feeding tube 8, a feeding push plate 9, a feeding frame 10 and a gear hobbing cutter 11, wherein the gear hobbing cutter 11 is rotatably arranged on the feeding frame 10, the feeding frame 10 is slidably arranged on the frame 3, the processing slide frame 4 is slidably arranged on the frame 3, the sliding direction of the processing slide frame 4 is parallel to the sliding direction of the feeding frame 10, and the processing slide frame 4 moves away from or close to the gear hobbing cutter 11 after sliding, the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably arranged on the processing slide frame 4, and the positioning member is arranged on the rotating shaft 5, which is used to fix the gear blank 2,

[0031] The feeding slide frame 7 is slidably arranged on the frame 3, the feeding tube 8 is arranged on the feeding slide frame 7, the through hole 1 is sleeved on the feeding tube 8, and is used to install the gear blank 2. After the feeding slide frame 7 slides, the end of the feeding tube 8 abuts against or cancels the abutment against the positioning member, and the feeding push plate 9 is slidably arranged on the feeding slide frame 7. After sliding, the feeding push plate 9 is used to push the gear blank 2 to the positioning member.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to realize automatic feeding, a feeding tube 8 is added, and multiple gear blanks 2 are pre-mounted on the feeding tube 8 by using the through hole 1 in the center of the gear blank 2. During operation, the rotating shaft 5 and the feeding slide frame 7 are on the same axis, and the feeding slide frame 7 first slides in the direction of the rotating shaft 5 until the feeding tube 8 abuts the positioning member. Then the feeding push plate 9 slides to push the gear blank 2 to move toward the positioning member, and the gear blank 2 located at the outermost side of the feeding tube 8 is pushed and slides outward to the positioning member, and the positioning member fixes the gear blank 2. Then the feeding tube 8 retracts to make way for processing. Finally, the feeding frame 10 slides in the direction of the gear blank 2 and slides to the processing position. The rotating gear hobbing cutter 11 contacts the gear blank 2. The feeding of the gear hobbing cutter 11 is controlled by the sliding of the feeding frame 10 to perform gear hobbing processing. After completing the processing of a gear, the processing slide frame 4 slides in the direction away from the gear hobbing cutter 11 to unload. The above feeding action is repeated each time a gear is processed until the gear blank 2 preset on the feeding tube 8 is processed, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the gear hobbing machine. After each gear is processed, frequent manual feeding is no longer required, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0033] The positioning member includes a plurality of positioning plates 12 , and the positioning plates 12 are radially slidably disposed on the end surface of the rotating shaft 5 . After sliding, the positioning plates 12 abut against or cancel the abutment against the inner wall of the through hole 1 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the positioning member includes a plurality of positioning plates 12, preferably three positioning plates 12, all of which are slidably arranged on the end surface of the rotating shaft 5 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 5, and the sliding of the plurality of positioning plates 12 is synchronous. The plurality of positioning plates 12 are all arc-shaped plates, which can fit the arc of the through hole 1 after being stretched to achieve stable positioning.

[0035] A keyway 13 is formed on the inner wall of the through hole 1 , and a limiting portion 14 is provided on the feeding tube 8 . The limiting portion 14 has the same cross-sectional shape as the keyway 13 .

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the gear blank 2 on the feeding tube 8, a limiting portion 14 is also designed on the feeding tube 8. The limiting portion 14 has the same shape as the keyway 13 in the through hole 1, and the overall cross-sectional shape of the feeding tube 8 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 1. The limiting portion 14 is used to provide circumferential positioning for the gear blank 2, thereby preventing the gear blank 2 from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the gear blank 2 on the feeding tube 8.

[0037] It also includes a top piece 15 and a top rod 16. The top rod 16 is slidably disposed in the feeding tube 8. The top piece 15 is rotatably disposed at the end of the top rod 16. After the top piece 15 slides, the top piece 15 abuts against or cancels the abutment against the inner wall of the positioning plate 12 to push the positioning plate 12 outward.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to control the synchronous sliding of multiple positioning plates 12, a push rod 16 is slidably provided along the axial direction of the feeding tube 8. A push piece 15 is rotatably provided at the end of the push rod 16. The push piece 15 is in a conical shape, and the inner surface of the positioning plate 12 has a taper. After the loading of the gear blank 2 is completed, the push rod 16 is controlled to slide so that the push piece 15 is close to the positioning plate 12. After the push piece 15 enters the middle of the multiple positioning plates 12, it abuts against the inner walls of the multiple positioning plates 12. As the push rod 16 slides, the push piece 15 abuts against the multiple positioning plates 12, and the multiple positioning plates 12 are spread open, thereby controlling the positioning plates 12 to abut against the inner wall of the through hole 1, thereby realizing the positioning of the gear blank 2. When processing the gear, the rotating shaft 5 needs to cooperate with the gear hobbing cutter 11 to rotate slowly. At this time, the push piece 15 will rotate accordingly to ensure the stability of the positioning.

[0039] It also includes a material unloading push plate 17, which is slidably disposed on the processing slide frame 4. After sliding, the material unloading push plate 17 abuts against or cancels the abutment against the processed gear, so as to provide a force to move the processed gear away from the positioning member.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to realize automatic unloading, a material unloading push plate 17 is also slidably provided on the processing slide 4. After completing the processing of a gear, the push rod 16 retracts, cancels the thrust of the push piece 15 on the positioning plate 12, and cancels the positioning of the gear by the positioning plate 12. Then the processing slide 4 is controlled to slide in a direction away from the gear hobbing cutter 11. After leaving the processing position, the material unloading push plate 17 slides, abuts against the gear and pushes the gear off the positioning plate 12, thereby realizing automatic unloading.

[0041] It also includes a collection box 18, which is arranged on the frame 3, and the collection box 18 is located below the positioning member, and an angle is formed between the bottom wall of the collection box 18 and the horizontal plane.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to avoid high temperature during processing, in the prior art, coolant is usually sprayed to the processing position, and the dripping coolant can fall into the collection box 18 below to achieve the recovery of the coolant. In addition, the debris generated during processing will also fall into the collection box 18 to achieve the recovery of the debris and facilitate subsequent cleaning. The bottom wall of the collection box 18 is designed to be inclined, so that the coolant can automatically flow to the lower part to achieve separation from the iron chips.

[0043] The collecting box 18 further comprises a filter screen 19 , which is arranged at the edge of the collecting box 18 .

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the recovery of the coolant, a filter 19 is provided at the lowest edge of the collection box 18, and the coolant can directly pass through the filter 19, and a recovery bucket can be directly provided below the filter 19. The filter 19 will have a blocking effect on the iron filings, and the iron filings will not leave the collection box 18, thereby achieving further separation of the coolant and the iron filings, and the iron filings can be easily cleaned up later.

[0045] It also includes a conveyor belt 20, which is arranged on the frame 3 and is located below the positioning member.

[0046] The surface of the conveyor belt 20 has a buffer layer.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to further realize the automatic unloading of gears, a conveyor belt 20 is also provided. After completing the processing of a gear, the processing slide frame 4 slides to the top of the conveyor belt 20, and then the unloading push plate 17 pushes the gear off the positioning plate 12 and drops it onto the conveyor belt 20 below, and can be directly transported to the subsequent process for the next step of processing without manual transfer. In order to prevent the surface of the gear from being damaged due to impact when it falls, a flexible buffer belt is also provided on the belt surface of the conveyor belt 20.

[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
