DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In the following, the utility model is further described in combination with the drawings and the specific implementation, and it should be noted that the following described embodiments or technical features can be combined to form new embodiments without conflict.

[0030] Please combine Figures 1-4 The positioning mechanism of the wire cutting machine for gear machining in the embodiment comprises a clamp table 1, one end of the clamp table 1 is fixedly installed in the wire cutting machine. The clamp table 1 mainly undertakes the positioning and fixing work of the gear blank.

[0031] Firstly, the fixed seat 2 is fixedly connected on the clamp table 1, and a fixed screw is arranged in a matched mode. The upper pressing plate 3 is detachably installed on the fixed seat 2 through the fixed screw. The upper pressing plate 3 can be disassembled and installed by rotating the fixed screw. In actual use, the gear blank is placed on the clamp table 1, and then the upper pressing plate 3 is installed. That is, the upper pressing plate 3 presses the gear blank from above.

[0032] Four limiting sliding grooves 4 are further formed on the clamp table 1, and the sliding block 5 is slidably installed in the limiting sliding groove 4. In addition, the support plate 6 is further arranged, and the top of the sliding block 5 and the support plate 6 are fixedly connected.

[0033] The fixed shaft 7 is fixedly connected on the clamp table 1 and located in the middle of the four limiting sliding grooves 4. The lower end of the fixed shaft 7 is fixedly connected with the clamp table 1, and the upper half is provided with a thread. The driving mechanism 8 is arranged between the fixed shaft 7 and the support plate 6, and the driving mechanism 8 is used for controlling the reciprocating movement of the support plate 6 along the direction of the limiting sliding groove 4.

[0034] Specific, drive mechanism 8 includes rotating ring 81, lifting cylinder 83 and inclined support rod 84. Wherein rotating ring 81 is entirely set in the outer side of fixed shaft 7, and the inner thread is opened in rotating ring 81, and is threadedly connected between fixed shaft 7. In addition, the mounting groove 82 is opened on the outer side wall of the rotating ring 81. Lifting cylinder 83 is entirely set in the outer side of the fixed shaft 7, and the upper end of the lifting cylinder 83 is rotatably installed in the mounting groove 82. That is, when the rotating ring 81 moves up and down, the lifting cylinder 83 will move up and down together. In addition, one end of the inclined support rod 84 is rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the lifting cylinder 83, and the other end is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the support plate 6.

[0035] If the rotating ring 81 rotates, it will move downward along the fixed shaft 7 under the cooperation of the thread. At this time, the lifting cylinder 83 will also move downward. The inclined support rod 84 gradually changes from a vertical state to an inclined state and pushes the support plate 6 to move along the direction of the limiting sliding groove 4.

[0036] In order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring 81, a control hole 9 is opened on the outer side wall of the rotating ring 81, and a corresponding control rod 10 is provided, wherein one end of the control rod 10 can be inserted into the control hole 9. The rotation of the rotating ring 81 is driven by the control rod 10. After the rotating ring 81 is rotated, the control rod 10 is pulled out.

[0037] In addition, in the wire cutting process, the positioning of the electrode wire is a key step to ensure the processing accuracy. Therefore, a through hole is opened in the middle of the fixed shaft 7, and a through hole is also opened in the corresponding position of the clamp table 1. If the electrode wire is positioned by using the spark method, the electrode wire needs to pass through the fixed shaft 7 and the clamp table 1.

[0038] The implementation process and principle of the positioning mechanism of the wire cutting machine for gear machining in the embodiment of the application are as follows:

[0039] (I): Place the blank on the clamp table 1, so that the support plate 6 passes through the hole in the middle of the blank.

[0040] (II): Insert the control rod 10 into the control hole 9 on the rotating ring 81, manually control the rotating ring 81 to start rotating, and under the cooperation of the thread, the rotating ring 81 moves downward while rotating, and drives the lifting cylinder 83 to move downward. In the process of moving downward, the lifting cylinder 83 will push the support plate 6 to move along the limiting sliding groove 4 on the clamp table 1 through the inclined support rod 84. Until the four support plates 6 provided in the embodiment simultaneously contact the inner circle of the blank. The four support plates 6 simultaneously support the blank from the inside, and complete the centering and fixing of the blank.

[0041] (III): Install the upper pressing plate 3 on the fixed seat 2, and press the blank from the top with the upper pressing plate 3 to fix the blank, so as to prevent the blank from jumping during cutting.

[0042] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any non-essential changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
