Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wire processing equipment, in particular to a wire bending and cutting machine for checking backlash. BACKGROUND

[0002] Backlash refers to the gap between the tooth surfaces of a pair of gears when they are engaged. This is a necessary parameter for smooth operation of gear engagement. In order to maximize its efficiency, a small distance needs to be reserved between the gears. Such gear engagement is called backlash. The existence of backlash ensures that the gears can smoothly engage during operation, avoiding excessive friction and noise due to direct contact. The existence of backlash helps to reduce vibration and noise during operation of the gears, improving the stability and life of the equipment.

[0003] The lead wire method (also known as tin wire, this paper takes tin wire as an example) is generally used to check the engagement gap of bevel gears. The appropriate diameter or thickness of the lead wire is selected and placed on both sides of the engagement. The gears are rotated and the lead wire is rolled into the engagement. Then the gears are reversed and the lead wire is removed. The thickness of the lead wire at each point is measured using a vernier caliper or micrometer. The thickness of the lead wire at each point represents the range of backlash thickness of the bevel gears under the current assembly. If the range of thickness of the lead wire at each point exceeds the set theoretical backlash range, it indicates that the bevel gear engagement structure assembled at this time has a problem of excessive or insufficient backlash.

[0004] When detecting the backlash of bevel gears, the tin wire needs to be bent multiple times and placed on the surface of the bevel gears for engagement and extrusion. The tin wire for detection needs to be cut to a specified length and bent a specified number of times. The preparation of the tin wire for measuring backlash is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0042] The implementation principle of the tooth gap inspection metal wire bending and cutting machine according to the embodiment of the application is as follows: the tin wire roll is sleeved on the unwinding shaft 21, the operator clamps the workpiece and inserts one end of the tin wire into the pre-designed through hole of the bending mounting frame 11 and is transmitted by the input protection sleeve 23, and finally enters the meshing entrance between the bending driving gear 33 and the bending driven gear 34. At this time, the bending motor 31 is started, the bending driving gear 33 rotates, the bending driven gear 34 and the bending driving gear 33 rotate towards each other to pull the tin wire into the tooth gap between the bending driving gear 33 and the bending driven gear 34, and at the same time, the bending protection top plate 14 is closed.
