Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of herringbone gears, in particular to a centering measuring tool for herringbone gears. Background Technique
[0002] Helical gears have lateral forces on the shaft. To eliminate this force, one gear is made into a helical gear with opposite symmetrical directions to eliminate this force, which looks like a herringbone and is simply called a herringbone gear.
[0003] Among them, herringbone gears have different centering accuracy requirements according to different qualities. For those with low accuracy requirements, centering accuracy can be ensured by scribing during pre-heat hobbing. For those with higher accuracy requirements, before heat treatment, after hobbing, the centering error needs to be measured on a coordinate measuring machine to ensure that after precision turning the tooth width, the tooth parts in two helix directions can form symmetry. For gears with even higher centering error requirements (generally less than 0.2 mm), in addition to measuring on a coordinate measuring machine before heat treatment to achieve centering in turning, after rough grinding after heat treatment, it needs to be measured again, and then precision grinding is carried out according to the measurement results to meet the centering requirements.
[0004] However, in the prior art, for the machining of herringbone gears with higher and even higher accuracy requirements, coordinate measurement is required, which will seriously affect production efficiency. Therefore, improvement is needed. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a centering measuring tool for herringbone gears to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A centering measuring tool for herringbone gears includes a horizontal plate. Circular through holes are opened at the centers of the top and bottom of the horizontal plate. A plurality of first telescopic rods are arranged on the top of the horizontal plate. A top plate is arranged at the tops of the plurality of first telescopic rods. A plurality of second telescopic rods are arranged at the bottom of the horizontal plate. A bottom plate is arranged at the bottoms of the plurality of second telescopic rods. A measuring column is arranged at the center of the top of the bottom plate. Through holes are opened at the centers of the top and bottom of the top plate. The top end of the measuring column passes through the through hole, and the top end of the measuring column is located above the top of the top plate.
[0008] Preferably, a stretching block is arranged at the center of the bottom of the bottom plate.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of scale values are arranged on the surface of the measuring column.
[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the horizontal plate is less than the thicknesses of the top plate and the bottom plate.
[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the top plate matches the thickness of the bottom plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0013] For a herringbone gear centering measuring tool of the present utility model, the middle part of the herringbone on the surface of the herringbone gear is used as a reference surface. Before use, a line can be drawn on the middle part of the herringbone on the surface of the herringbone gear by using a spirit level. Then, the herringbone gear is placed at the measuring tool horizontal plate, and the horizontal plate is aligned with the marked line. Then, the top plate and the bottom plate are respectively moved to the top and bottom of the herringbone gear.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A herringbone gear centering measuring tool, comprising a horizontal plate 1. Circular through holes are provided at the centers of the top and bottom of the horizontal plate 1. A plurality of first telescopic rods 2 are provided on the top of the horizontal plate 1. A top plate 3 is provided at the tops of the plurality of first telescopic rods 2. A plurality of second telescopic rods 4 are provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate 1. A bottom plate 5 is provided at the bottoms of the plurality of second telescopic rods 4. A measuring column 6 is provided at the center of the top of the bottom plate 5. Through holes 7 are provided at the centers of the top and bottom of the top plate 3. The top end of the measuring column 6 passes through the through hole 7, and the top end of the measuring column 6 is located above the top of the top plate 3.
[0022] Further, a stretching block 8 is provided at the center of the bottom of the bottom plate 5.
[0023] Further, a plurality of scale values are provided on the surface of the measuring column 6.
[0024] Further, the thickness of the horizontal plate 1 is less than the thicknesses of the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 5.
[0025] Further, the thickness of the top plate 3 matches the thickness of the bottom plate 5.
[0026] Specifically, the scale values on the surface of the measuring column 6 in the present utility model are divided into long lines and short lines. The distances between each long line match. Nine short lines are divided between two long lines, and the distances between the short lines are the same. Therefore, the centering error can be measured through the scale values.
[0027] It should be noted that the thickness of the horizontal plate 1 matches the thickness of the long scale lines.
[0028] Working principle: When in use, the middle part of the herringbone pattern on the surface of the herringbone gear needs to be used as the reference plane. A line can be drawn on the middle part of the herringbone pattern on the surface of the herringbone gear with a spirit level. Then, place the herringbone gear into the circular through-hole of the measuring tool's horizontal plate 1, align the horizontal plate 1 with the marked line, and then move the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 5 to the top and bottom of the herringbone gear respectively. It should be noted that when moving the bottom plate 5, the operator can push the stretching block 8 upward by hand, so as to make the second telescopic rod 4 expand and contract, and then make the bottom plate 5 move upward. For the movement of the top plate 3, the operator pushes the top plate 3 downward. During the downward push of the top plate 3, the first telescopic rod 1 will be compressed. Then, measure the number of scale values from the marked part to the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 5 respectively with the measuring column 6, and then measure the alignment error of the herringbone gear. The alignment error measured by this utility model can be measured very conveniently without using a coordinate measuring machine, which has a certain practicality.
[0029] It should be noted that considering the small scale values, the operator can view them through a magnifying glass.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that in order to place the herringbone gear at the circular through-hole of the horizontal plate 1, before placing, the operator can stretch the top plate 3 upward, which can facilitate the placement of the herringbone gear.
[0031] In addition, during the use process, the operator's other hand needs to hold the fixed end of the second telescopic rod 4, so a stretching block 8 is provided to facilitate the operator to stretch the bottom plate 5.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
