Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gear hobbing machining, and particularly to a gear hobbing machining tooling fixture. Background Art
[0002] Gear hobbing machining is an efficient gear machining method, usually used for producing gears in large quantities. In this machining method, the tooth profile of the gear is formed by rolling a hob or a roller on the gear, rather than by cutting.
[0003] When hobbing with an ordinary hobbing tooling fixture, by embedding it into the existing hobbing tooling fixture, that is, by inserting the tooth blank outside the dead hobbing mandrel. In this installation method, after hobbing machining, the tooth circle runout of the product is large, and it is not easy to remove the machined product from the tooling fixture after machining. For this, a gear hobbing machining tooling fixture is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solution: A gear hobbing machining tooling fixture, including a base, an inner support member is fixedly installed on the top of the base, a perforation is opened in the middle of the inner support member, and a centering shaft passing through the perforation is fixedly installed on the top of the base;
[0006] External threads are opened on the outside of the centering shaft, and an adjusting member located in the perforation is threadedly installed on the outside of the centering shaft;
[0007] A connection hole is penetrated and opened at the top end of the centering shaft, a threaded pin for fastening the tooth blank part is threadedly installed in the connection hole, and a fastening plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded pin.
[0008] Further, a cross-shaped groove is opened downward at the top of the inner support member, the groove does not penetrate through the inner support member, the inner support member is equally divided into four petals, and the bottoms of the four-petal structures are commonly connected to the base.
[0009] Further, the upper end of the perforation and the inner wall of the inner support member are in a conical transition, and the diameter of the centering shaft is smaller than the diameter of the perforation.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a gear hobbing processing tooling in this embodiment includes a base 1. The base 1 is connected to a driving rotating shaft to drive the gear blank to rotate. An inner support member 2 is also fixedly installed on the top of the base 1.
[0022] Preferably, a cross-shaped groove 3 is formed downward from the top of the inner support member 2. The groove 3 does not penetrate the inner support member 2, so that the inner support member 2 can be equally divided into four petals, and the bottoms of the four-petal structures are commonly connected to the base 1.
[0023] With such a design, the cylindrical inner support member 2 can be divided into four petals that open outward to load the gear blank. Since the inner support member 2 has a certain toughness, although the bottom of the inner support member 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the part where the groove 3 is opened at the upper end can still be adjusted to a certain extent, which is convenient for taking out the gear blank after hobbing.
[0024] In this embodiment, a perforation 4 is further opened in the middle of the inner support member 2, and a centering shaft 5 passing through the perforation 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 1.
[0025] Preferably, the upper end of the perforation 4 and the inner wall of the inner support member 2 are in a conical transition, and the diameter of the centering shaft 5 is smaller than the diameter of the perforation 4, so as to provide an installation space for parts to be placed inside the perforation 4.
[0026] It should be noted that an external thread is opened on the outside of the centering shaft 5, and an adjusting member 6 located in the perforation 4 is installed on the external thread of the centering shaft 5. The adjusting member 6 is in a cylindrical shape and a threaded hole 62 is opened on the inner wall. The threaded hole 62 is in threaded cooperation with the centering shaft 5, and the outer diameter of the adjusting member 6 fits with the inner wall of the perforation 4 to improve the stability of the adjusting member 6.
[0027] Furthermore, a pressing plate 61 is integrally extended at the top end of the adjusting member 6 in this embodiment. A chamfer is opened at the lower end of the pressing plate 61, and the pressing plate 61 fits on the cylindrical inclined surface of the perforation 4.
[0028] With such a design, the adjusting member 6 can move relative to the centering shaft 5 under rotation, and the pressing plate 61 presses down on the perforation 4 to open the inner support member 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, a hexagonal counterbore 63 is further opened at the top of the adjusting member 6. By opening the hexagonal counterbore 63, it is convenient to use a tool to rotate the adjusting member 6.
[0030] It should be noted that a connecting hole 7 is penetrated and opened at the top end of the centering shaft 5, and a threaded pin 8 for fastening the gear blank is installed in the connecting hole 7 by internal thread. A fastening plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded pin 8. By assembling the fastening plate 9 at the upper end of the centering shaft 5 and pressing the gear blank close to the base 1, the jumping phenomenon of the gear blank can be weakened and the machining accuracy can be improved.
[0031] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:
[0032] By aligning the adjusting member 6 with the perforation 4 opened at the top of the inner support member 2 and using a tool to cooperate with the hexagonal counterbore 63 at the top end of the adjusting member 6, the adjusting member 6 is rotated, causing the adjusting member 6 and the centering shaft 5 to move downward in a threaded fit. The pressing plate 61 on the adjusting member 6 contacts the conical inclined surface on the perforation 4 downward, thereby squeezing the inner support member 2 to expand outward along the groove 3 and tightly adhere to the inner hole of the gear blank to complete the tensioning. Subsequently, the fastening plate 9 and the threaded pin 8 are assembled above the inner support member 2 by being threadedly connected to the centering shaft 5 and pressed downward against the gear blank, so as to weaken the jumping phenomenon of the gear blank during hobbing.
