Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamps, and more particularly to a gear hobbing clamp capable of rapid switching. Background Art
[0002] Gear hobbing fixtures are important components in gear hobbing. They directly fix the workpiece being processed. They are usually installed on the workbench of the machine tool and work with the machine tool to process the workpiece. Different fixtures can be replaced to suit different products. However, most existing gear hobbing fixtures still have the following problems:
[0003] 1. When applying to products with different inner holes, it is necessary to replace the gear hobbing fixtures of different specifications, which takes a long time to change and correct;
[0004] 2. The positioning end face in the gear hobbing fixture is fixed and unchanged. It is only suitable for processing products with a root circle larger than the positioning end face. The range of products that can be processed is limited. During gear hobbing, there is a risk of collision between the tool and the gear hobbing fixture.
[0005] 3. The gear hobbing fixture has a large difference between the maximum and minimum outer diameters, resulting in a top-heavy structure. The center of gravity of the fixture body is offset from the center, which is not conducive to processing and manufacturing of the fixture body.
[0006] 4. There is a small gap when the workpiece is clamped in the gear hobbing fixture, which is prone to wear. After a certain number of uses, the gap increases, affecting the positioning accuracy and causing the entire gear hobbing fixture to be scrapped. Utility Model Content
[0007] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0008] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a quickly switchable gear hobbing fixture, aiming to solve the problem that the gear hobbing fixture in the prior art has a large difference between the maximum outer diameter and the minimum outer diameter of the entire body, which is a top-heavy structure, and the center of gravity of the fixture body is offset from the center. When processing and manufacturing the fixture body, it is not conducive to processing and manufacturing. When applying different inner hole products, different specifications of gear hobbing fixtures need to be replaced, and the changeover and correction time is long. The positioning end face in the gear hobbing fixture is fixed and unchanged, and it is only applicable to the processing of products whose product root circle is larger than the positioning end face. The range of processed products is limited. During gear hobbing, there is a risk of collision between the tool and the gear hobbing fixture. There is a small gap when the workpiece is clamped in the gear hobbing fixture, which is prone to wear. After a certain number of uses, the gap increases, affecting the positioning accuracy and causing the entire gear hobbing fixture to be scrapped.
