Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hob grinding, in particular to a hob grinding fixture with adjustable position. Background Art

[0002] Hobs are an important part of gear processing. Semi-finishing processes require hobbing to remove a large amount of material, which is a heavy cutting tool. Therefore, most gear processing companies use hobs made of special tool materials to improve hobbing efficiency. Hobs made of special materials are expensive. In order to improve the utilization rate of hob materials and reduce production costs, when the cutting edge of the hob is worn to a certain extent, it is necessary to use a special machine tool to grind the damaged part to make full use of the hob material.

[0003] The dimensional accuracy of the hob after grinding is directly related to the dimensional accuracy of the processed gear. Through experimental verification and analysis, it is found that the main problem of substandard grinding quality occurs in the clamping link of the hob. Before grinding the hob, the hob and the special hydraulic tool rod need to be assembled together. The traditional assembly method is that the operator places the hob on a plane, uses a nut to limit the hob to a specific position on the tool rod, and then screws one end of the hydraulic tool rod to the set torque position. Due to the lack of a special assembly fixture to assist the assembly process, the matching accuracy of the hob and the special hydraulic tool rod is out of tolerance during assembly, resulting in the dimensional accuracy of the hob after grinding failing to meet the design requirements of the hob, and the horizontal and circumferential position of the fixture cannot be quickly adjusted. The hob to be ground needs to be clamped repeatedly, which makes the grinding work inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0026] When the operator is clamping the gear hobbing cutter 7, he first places one end of the shaft of the gear hobbing cutter 7 near the caliper 608 of the clamping box 6, and then twists the adjusting nut 611 with a tool.

The angle of rotation of the gear hobbing cutter 7 is controlled to realize the rotation of the gear hobbing cutter 7. The rotation of the processing angle enables the gear hobbing cutter 7 to be clamped once to achieve axial and axial all-round processing; when the operator clamps the gear hobbing cutter 7, first, one end of the gear hobbing cutter 7 shaft is placed near the caliper 608 of the clamping box 6, and then the adjusting nut 611 is twisted by a tool, and the bevel gear 1 602 rotates with the rotation of the adjusting nut 611, and the bevel gear 2 603 meshing with it starts to rotate, and the bevel gear 3 604 coaxially fixedly connected to the bevel gear 2 603 starts to rotate, and the bevel gear 4 605 meshing with the bevel gear 3 604 starts to rotate at the same time, and the bevel gear 4 The screw nut block 607 starts to move up and down, and at the same time, the guide groove 609 on the caliper 608 starts to slide along the lifting guide rail 610, and finally the clamping of a pair of calipers 608 is realized, and the rotation angle of the rotating steering gear 402 is controlled. The rotation angle of the clamping box 6 can be accurately controlled by the rotating shaft 403 fixedly connected to the output end thereof, so as to realize the continuity and accuracy of the grinding process of the gear hobbing cutter 7. When the operator clamps the gear hobbing cutter 7, the telescopic cylinder 503 is extended and retracted by controlling the air pump 502, so that the conical top Block 504 supports the other end of the gear hobbing cutter 7 shaft to complete the clamping and fastening of the gear hobbing cutter 7. When the operator is sharpening the gear hobbing cutter 7, he can control the start and rotation direction of the drive motor 11, thereby driving the guide screw 12 to rotate in different directions, and drive the support plate 3 to translate as a whole through the screw transmission to achieve sharpening processing at different positions of the gear hobbing cutter 7. Before sharpening the gear hobbing cutter 7, the operator can appropriately adjust the position of the tool holder 9 in the arc groove 801 according to the type of gear hobbing, so as to adapt to the sharpening processing of gear hobbing cutters 7 with different straight teeth and helical teeth.
