[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other unless there is any conflict.

[0034] It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] The following describes a gear positioning tool provided by some embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0036] Combine Figures 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a gear positioning tool, including two workpieces 100 to be punched, two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200 for clamping the two workpieces 100 to be punched, and a calibration tool assembly 300 for controlling the spacing between the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200. The adaptive locking mechanism 200 is used to quickly position and calibrate workpieces of different sizes, and the calibration tool assembly 300 is used to provide an equidistant bearing platform for the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200 after positioning and calibrating the workpieces.

[0037] The adaptive locking mechanism 200 includes a base 210, a plurality of latches 230 mounted in the base 210, a locking assembly 240 disposed in the base 210, a spring 250 disposed on the locking assembly 240, a pad 260 connected to the top of the spring 250, a pressure member 280 disposed on the top of the pad 260, and an extended stud 270 movably mounted in the pressure member 280.

[0038] The locking assembly 240 includes a column 241 inserted into the plurality of latches 230 and located in the insertion hole, and a clamp 242 movably mounted on the column 241;

[0039] The interior of the column 241 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed vertical slots, and a shaft 243 is provided in the vertical slot. A bottom pressure plate 244 is movably mounted on the shaft 243, and a top support plate 245 is movably mounted on the other end of the bottom pressure plate 244.

[0040] The other end of the top support plate 245 is movably mounted on the chuck at the bottom of the chuck 242;

[0041] The calibration fixture assembly 300 includes a base 310 disposed on a machine tool workbench, four position-limiting beams 320 mounted on the base 310, a first bracket 340 movably mounted on two of the position-limiting beams 320, and a second bracket 350 movably mounted on the other two position-limiting beams 320.

[0042] The first bracket 340 is disposed at the bottom of one of the bases 210 , and the second bracket 350 is disposed at the bottom of the other base 210 .

[0043] The end face positioning method requires the use of two or more fixtures to clamp the workpiece at multiple angles. However, this method has many disadvantages. Each workpiece needs to be calibrated for a long time, and the subsequent processing of each workpiece requires tedious calibration and positioning in the above method, which has low production efficiency. Different from the end face positioning, the internal hole positioning clamping method is more accurate and convenient. However, the internal hole positioning requires gradual processing and multiple measurements for the punching of a single workpiece. In order to ensure the fit between the tooth mouth of the workpiece and the comparison gear after processing, the tedious inspection will also increase the working time.

[0044] The positioning fixture is provided with a base 310 fixed on the machine tool platform as a bearing base, and four limiting beams 320 are installed on the base 310. When the first support 340 and the second support 350 are respectively movably installed on the two adjacent limiting beams 320, the first support 340 and the second support 350 that can be extended at equal intervals can provide a stable carrier for the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200. When two workpieces 100 to be punched with the same specifications are positioned and clamped by the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200, the two workpieces 100 to be punched with the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200 in the first support 340 and the second support 350 can be carried along the bottom of the angle depth ruler 330 for equal interval adjustment. Finally, the tooth punching assembly in the machine tool can perform precise depth punching processing on the two workpieces 100 to be punched along the gap of the angle depth ruler 330, thereby effectively ensuring the accuracy of the punching of the two workpieces 100 to be punched with the same specifications. Example 2

[0045] Combine Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, based on Example 1, the base 210 is in a T-shaped structure as a whole, and a nut 220 is provided on the threaded section at the bottom of the base 210;

[0046] A cylindrical socket is formed at the top of the base 210 , and a plurality of pins 230 are evenly distributed in the socket.

[0047] Preferably, the nut 220 can be pressed against the bottom of the first bracket 340 or the second bracket 350 through a gasket. The gasket serves as a carrier of the nut 220. As the nut 220 progresses along the threaded section at the bottom of the base 210, the gasket can be pressed against the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350. At this time, the two bases 210 can be arranged at equal intervals in the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350.

[0048] A threaded hole is formed inside the column 241, and the extended stud 270 is adapted to pass through the threaded hole;

[0049] The clamping head at the bottom of the clamping head 242 is adapted to be clamped in the vertical slot of the column 241 .

[0050] Preferably, the column 241 is made of stainless steel, and the cylindrical end at the bottom of the column 241 is used to provide stabilizing constraints for the inner hole of the workpiece 100 to be punched. According to the inner hole width of different workpieces, a sleeve for tightening can be added to the cylindrical end at the bottom of the column 241, and multiple sleeves can be used to connect the inner holes of different workpieces, thereby improving the adaptability of the positioning tool to different workpieces. Example 3

[0051] Combine Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, in the above embodiment, the base 310 is composed of an I-shaped pad, two vertical rods and a column head, and an angle depth ruler 330 is set in the I-shaped pad;

[0052] The two sets of scale end plates at both ends of the angle depth ruler 330 are respectively attached to the top surfaces of the two workpieces 100 to be punched.

[0053] Preferably, the column head inside the base 310 can be opened with evenly distributed vertical holes according to the style of the machine tool workbench, and the column head can be fixed to the workbench by bolts, wherein the length of the two vertical rods needs to be set according to the length of the threaded section at the bottom of the base 210.

[0054] The first support member 340 and the second support member 350 are both provided with through holes adapted to fit the limiting beam 320;

[0055] A crossbar 360 is provided in two end plates at adjacent ends of the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350 , two tension springs 370 are provided on the crossbar 360 , and a locking bolt 380 is provided in the end plates;

[0056] The base 210 , the first bracket 340 , and the second bracket 350 are all made of stainless steel.

[0057] Preferably, one end of one of the tension springs 370 is fixedly mounted on an end plate of the first bracket 340, and the other end of the tension spring 370 is fixed on the cross bar 360. Similarly, another tension spring 370 provided on the other end of the cross bar 360 is also fixedly connected to an end plate in the second bracket 350.

[0058] The scale end plates at both ends of the depth ruler 330 can also provide spacing indications for the extension of the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350 .

[0059] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when a circular workpiece needs to be punched until a gear structure is formed, the circular workpiece to be processed needs to be positioned along the hole or end face of its axis using a special positioning tool, and today's positioning tooling is mainly divided into axis, double-sided and multi-sided clamping methods, but the above three methods still have certain defects in the workpiece punching operation. After the single gear is positioned and clamped, the workpiece after punching needs to be further inspected after the punching equipment is stopped. The workpiece and the fixture core shaft are positioned along the outer circle and the end face using a dial indicator for multiple measurements. Therefore, the cycle time spent on punching the workpiece will increase, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the double gear meshing after the workpiece is punched.

[0060] Therefore, the tooling uses studs and nuts to fix the base 310 on the work surface, then sets two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200 in the transverse grooves inside the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350 respectively, and uses two nuts 220 to selectively fix the two bases 210 in the first bracket 340 and the second bracket 350 until the two bases 210 are symmetrically distributed. The two workpieces 100 to be punched, which are pressed outside the two sets of locking components 240, can be pre-assembled at a precise spacing before punching.

[0061] When the two workpieces 100 to be punched are large in size, the four pressure-bearing members 280 can be loosened, and then the first support member 340 and the second support member 350 are extended outward along the outside of the two sets of limiting beams 320 until the two sets of adaptive locking mechanisms 200 are expanded outward at equal intervals. In conjunction with the marks of the angle depth gauge 330, when the two clamped workpieces 100 to be punched are extended outward to a constant distance, the four locking bolts 380 can be tightened. At this time, the rectangular gaps exposed at both ends of the angle depth gauge 330 can provide guidance for the punching workpieces. At this time, the angle depth gauge 330 attached to the surfaces of the two workpieces 100 to be punched can provide observable marks for the accuracy of the tooth opening after guiding the punching.

[0062] When the teeth are punched, the extended stud 270 can be unscrewed counterclockwise, and then the chuck 242 can be stretched upward along the column 241. At this time, the top support plate 245 and the bottom pressure plate 244 can be retracted into the vertical groove inside the column 241, and then the two workpieces 100 to be punched can be quickly taken out after the teeth are punched.
