Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gear processing technology, and in particular relates to a tooling structure for replacing the cutter bar of a gear milling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The tool holder is a key component of the gear milling machine's spindle box, serving as the connection between the spindle box's gear transmission system and the gear milling cutter head. To adapt to different workpiece processing requirements, the gear milling machine's cutter head needs to be replaced. This replacement process necessitates the disassembly and assembly of the tool holder. Furthermore, during long-term operation of the gear milling machine, the tool holder will eventually need replacement due to wear. Because the tool holder is horizontally mounted relative to the ground and is cylindrical, it is difficult to fix on a flat surface and hoisting is challenging. Tool holder replacement often relies on manual handling. When dealing with heavy tool holders, manual support is insufficient, and with limited manpower, it is difficult to smoothly assemble and install them with the cutter head. The installation process can easily damage spindle box components, resulting in low installation efficiency and significant safety hazards. Therefore, we provide a tooling structure for replacing gear milling machine tool holders to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
