[0002] The application of specialized positioning fixtures for worm gear machining on production lines focuses on achieving high-precision and high-efficiency machining. Through a precise positioning mechanism, it ensures that each worm gear workpiece maintains a constant and accurate position on the machine tool, which is crucial for manufacturing precision tooth profiles. These fixtures accelerate the changeover process, reduce preparation time, and maintain batch consistency. They can flexibly handle even complex and variable worm gear dimensions. Their design emphasizes safety and stability, and they can firmly clamp the workpiece even under high-speed machining conditions to prevent workpiece displacement and ensure operational safety, thereby comprehensively improving production efficiency, product quality, and the safety level of the working environment.

[0003] In current technology, in order to ensure the accuracy and consistency of worm gears during the machining process, positioning fixtures for worm gear machining are usually used. This fixture structure includes a precision-cast base and an adjustable clamping device for fixing the worm gear and ensuring its correct alignment with the cutting tool.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a positioning fixture for worm gear processing, characterized in that: the positioning fixture for worm gear processing includes: a fixed frame 1, a square groove 2 is provided on the side of the fixed frame 1, a movable block 3 is provided in the square groove 2, a threaded hole 4 is provided in the movable block 3, and a pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is provided on the surface of the square groove 2.

[0024] A fixed screw 6 is provided on the surface of the fixed screw 6, a rotating bearing 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating bearing 7, and a fixing block 8 is inserted into the fixing block 8;

[0025] In use, the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 can be extended or retracted, causing the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 to move the moving block 3 forward. When the moving block 3 reaches the appropriate position, the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is closed, and the worm gear is placed between the fixed plates 9. Then, the push knob 13 is turned to move the fixed screw 6 forward. The fixed screw 6 drives the fixed plates 9 forward, fixing the worm gear between the fixed plates 9, thus achieving the effect of worm gear machining positioning.

[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate the positioning of the worm gear machining, a sliding groove 10 is provided on the surface of the square groove 2. One end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the square groove 2, and the other end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving block 3. The pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is parallel to the surface of the square groove 2.

[0027] To prevent the movable block 3 from shifting during movement, a sliding groove 10 is provided on the surface of the square groove 2 to prevent the movable block 3 from shifting during movement. When the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 moves, the movable block 3 will move along the trajectory of the sliding groove 10.

[0028] The movable block 3 has a threaded hole 4 inside, and a fixing screw 6 is installed in the threaded hole 4. A fixing telescopic rod 11 is installed on the surface of the movable block 3. One end of the fixing telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 8, and the other end of the fixing telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable block 3. A movable slider 12 is installed on the side of the movable block 3. The movable slider 12 is inserted into the sliding groove 10 and can move within the sliding groove 10.

[0029] One end of the fixing screw 6 is provided with a push knob 13, and one end of the fixing screw 6 is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the rotary bearing 7.

[0030] A rotary bearing 7 is provided on the side of the fixing block 8, a fixed telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 8, and a fixing groove 14 is formed on the surface of the fixing block 8.

[0031] When in use, rotate the push knob 13 to move the fixed screw 6 forward. One end of the fixed screw 6 is equipped with a rotary bearing 7. The fixed telescopic rod 11 on the surface of the moving block 3 is horizontally fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed block 8. When the fixed screw 6 moves forward, the fixed telescopic rod 11 will also extend forward to ensure that the fixed clamping plate 9 will not shift its position under the rotation of the fixed screw 6, thus avoiding errors in the positioning of the worm gear.

[0032] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the replacement of parts when processing the worm gear, a fixing plate 9 is provided with a positioning block 15 on its surface. The positioning block 15 is inserted into the fixing groove 14 and can slide in the fixing groove 14. The fixing plate 9 is provided with an anti-sliding block 16.

[0033] Long-term processing may damage the accuracy of the fixed plate 9. The surface is provided with a positioning block 15. When the fixed plate 9 needs to be replaced, the positioning block 15 can be pulled out from the fixing groove 14 to replace the parts, thus avoiding the situation where the worm gear machining error is large due to the wear of the fixed plate 9.

[0034] In actual use, the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 can be extended and retracted, causing the moving block 3 to move forward. When the moving block 3 reaches the appropriate position, the pneumatic telescopic rod 5 is closed, and the worm gear is placed between the fixed plates 9. Then, the push knob 13 is turned to move the fixing screw 6 forward. The fixing screw 6 drives the fixed plates 9 forward, fixing the worm gear between the fixed plates 9. This achieves the effect of worm gear machining positioning, thus avoiding the problems of inconvenient parts replacement and relatively fixed positioning of the worm gear machining positioning fixture.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
