Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear processing, in particular to a rectangular spline single-cone expansion sleeve gear hobbing fixture. Background Art

[0002] The rectangular spline single-taper expansion sleeve gear hobbing fixture is a fixture specifically designed for machining rectangular splines. Its design and application are of great significance for improving machining accuracy and production efficiency. Its working principle is as follows: a grooved nut is used to press the gland onto the inner end face of the single-taper expansion sleeve, achieving a gapless fit within the product's inner bore. A small flange nut is then used to clamp the product through a split washer and gland.

[0003] After checking the publication number: CN221336944U, a shaft gear hobbing fixture is disclosed. This technology discloses "a shaft gear hobbing fixture, which is suitable for shaft workpieces with a thread at one end, and includes a seat center and a threaded sleeve, the seat center is fixedly connected to the machine tool workbench and opposite to the machine tool center, one end of the threaded sleeve is outer-circuited on the seat center and fixedly connected, and the other end is provided with an internal thread or an external thread, and the internal thread or the external thread cooperates with the thread on the workpiece to clamp the workpiece", etc. The technical solution has "the thread on the workpiece is used to cooperate with the threaded sleeve fixedly connected to the seat center to achieve workpiece clamping. Since the hobbing fixture adopts a threaded connection to cooperate with the seat center to clamp the workpiece, the fixture avoids uncertainty and processing errors caused by fitting clearance, and can effectively reduce the demand for clamping length, and only a short clamping length is required to achieve effective clamping" and other technical effects;

[0004] In fact, during the gear hobbing process, it is necessary to maintain a certain coaxiality between the processed tooth part and the positioning hole. Generally, a fixed gear hobbing mandrel is used for centering, and a nut is installed on the gear hobbing mandrel for fastening. Since there is a certain matching tolerance between the gear hobbing mandrel and the positioning hole, this may cause the mandrel to shake or offset in the positioning hole, thereby affecting the coaxiality. Insufficient or excessive tightening force of the nut may cause the gap between the mandrel and the positioning hole to change. If the force is insufficient, the mandrel may become loose; if the force is too great, the mandrel or the positioning hole may be deformed, which also affects the coaxiality. Utility Model Content

[0028] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution for a rectangular spline single-taper expansion sleeve gear hobbing fixture: the rectangular spline single-taper expansion sleeve gear hobbing fixture includes a fixture mechanism 1 and is used for positioning and fixing the workpiece during processing. The fixture mechanism 1 includes:

[0029] The main assembly 11 is mounted on the rotary cylinder and provides power for the clamp mechanism 1 during operation;

[0030] The fixing assembly 12 includes a spline expansion sleeve 121 mounted on the clamp mechanism 1, a third mounting hole 122 defined within the outer edge of the spline expansion sleeve 121, the spline expansion sleeve 121 being secured by a third screw 124 through the third mounting hole 122, a tapered surface 123 defined within the spline expansion sleeve 121, and a tapered rod 125 inserted and mounted through the spline expansion sleeve 121.

[0031] The limiting assembly 13 is mounted on the fixing assembly 12 and is used to limit the axial position of the workpiece.

[0032] In this embodiment, the workpiece to be processed is put on the spline expansion sleeve 121, and then the cone head rod 125 is pushed inward, so that the cone head rod 125 squeezes the spline expansion sleeve 121 from the inside to the outside to make it expand outward, thereby tightening the workpiece; the cone head rod 125 is pulled outward to release the squeezing of the spline expansion sleeve 121, thereby loosening the workpiece; the expansion of the spline expansion sleeve 121 eliminates the gap between the spline expansion sleeve 121 and the workpiece, and at the same time, the spline expansion sleeve 121 solves the poor rigidity and slow clamping of the small rectangular spline clamp, thereby achieving reliable axial positioning and radial gap-free positioning.

[0033] Specifically, the limiting assembly 13 includes a positioning plate 131 which is sleeved on the spline expansion sleeve 121 and fits with its end face. A threaded through hole 132 is opened on the inner outer edge of the positioning plate 131, and the positioning plate 131 is locked and fixed by the threaded through hole 132 and the slotted tapered end setting screw 133 to ensure end jump.

[0034] In this embodiment, the positioning plate 131 limits the axial position of the workpiece after it is fixed, ensuring that the workpiece does not move axially after it is fixed, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the workpiece.

[0035] Specifically, the main body component 11 includes a connecting seat 111 that is fitted on the end face of the cylinder, and the boss of the spline expansion sleeve 121 is inserted into the end face of the inner hole of the connecting seat 111 and fits therewith.
