Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a gear shaping fixture, in particular to a chip removal type gear shaping fixture. Background Art
[0002] Gear shaping is a common gear manufacturing process. The gear shaping fixture used in the process is used to ensure the precise position of the workpiece so that the machine tool can be accurately positioned.
[0003] However, gear shaping is often accompanied by the generation of iron chips, which not only affect the gear shaping accuracy, but also reduce the surface quality of the workpiece, and even damage the machine tool or gear shaping fixture. Existing gear shaping fixtures usually do not consider chip removal when designing, and various problems may occur due to the inclusion of iron chips. In addition, the tightening range of the expansion sleeve in the existing gear shaping fixture is small, making it difficult to be compatible with a variety of workpiece models. In actual production, when replacing gears of different specifications, the gear shaping fixture needs to replace multiple parts to adapt to the gears, resulting in low production efficiency, high production costs and high inventory costs.
[0004] In order to solve the problem that the gear-forming fixture is not conducive to chip removal, the Chinese patent with publication number CN210254563U discloses a gear-forming fixture with chip removal for internal hole expansion, including a positioning plate, an expansion sleeve, a mandrel and a pull rod; the positioning plate is fixedly arranged, and a countersunk hole is arranged on the top; the mandrel is arranged below the positioning plate, the middle part of the mandrel protrudes, the top of the protruding part is located at the countersunk hole of the positioning plate, the top of the protruding part is truncated, and the small end faces upward, and a chip removal tube is arranged inside the mandrel, one end of the chip removal tube is connected to the top of the protruding part of the mandrel, and the other end is connected to the outside of the mandrel, and the expansion sleeve is arranged between the mandrel and the positioning plate; the expansion sleeve is provided with a through hole to wrap the protruding part of the mandrel, and the inner diameter of the top of the through hole gradually decreases; the pull rod is arranged below the mandrel, and the pull rod is connected to the expansion sleeve, which can drive the expansion sleeve to move synchronously. The Chinese patent with publication number CN219004290U discloses a chip removal internal gear processing fixture, which solves the problem that the accumulation of debris has an adverse effect on the gear-forming process of the product. The key points of the technical solution are: it includes a lower die and an upper die, the workpiece is fixed on the third cavity of the upper die, and a first through hole is provided at the bottom of the third cavity. When chips are generated by gear insertion, they will enter the third cavity of the lower die through the first through hole. Since the axis of the first through hole points to the opening of the second through hole, the chips will be discharged from the second through hole.
[0005] Although the above patent preliminarily solves the problem of iron filings being difficult to clean in the two types of gear-shaping fixtures, its structure is relatively complex, the tightening range of the expansion sleeve is small, and the compatibility with different workpiece models is poor.
