Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear hobbing tooling technology, specifically a gear hobbing machine clamping device for large workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] Existing gear hobbing fixtures can only process products with an outer diameter of less than 300mm. When processing products with an outer diameter of 250mm to 300mm, the three-jaw chuck is about the same size as the bottom worktable of the gear hobbing machine after clamping the product. At this time, the space for placing the pressure plate is very small, the chuck is inconvenient to fix to the worktable, and the operation is also cumbersome. In addition, the use of the chuck to hold the workpiece can easily cause the workpiece to deform, affecting the product accuracy and, in severe cases, causing the product to be scrapped. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamping device for a gear hoisting machine for large workpieces, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamping device for a large workpiece gear hobbing machine, comprising a worktable, a bottom ring placed on the top outer surface of the worktable, and a base plate clamped to the bottom ring, and clamping pins evenly spaced in a ring on the top outer surface of the bottom ring, the base plate being sleeved on the clamping pins, and an annular fixture clamped to the bottom ring through the clamping pins, the annular fixture having a placement opening on its top outer surface for placing the workpiece, a connecting platform installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the annular fixture, and four stabilizing components arranged in a ring on the top outer surface of the connecting platform, the lower pressing end of the stabilizing component being located above the annular fixture, and the side pressing end of the stabilizing component being located inside the placement opening, the stabilizing components being used to stabilize the workpiece.

[0005] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes an L-shaped plate, which is fixed to the top surface of the connecting platform by bolts. A servo motor is installed on the top surface of the bottom layer of the L-shaped plate. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to a connecting plate, and a cylinder is installed on the top surface of the connecting plate. A pressure plate is installed on the top surface of the piston rod of the cylinder, and a first anti-slip pad is installed on the top surface of the pressure plate.

[0006] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod is installed on the top of one side of the L-shaped plate, and a stop plate is installed at one end of the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod, with a second anti-slip pad installed on the surface of the stop plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the top outer surface of the annular tooling has four arc-shaped openings arranged in a ring, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped openings has a through-hole. The abutment plate and the second anti-slip pad are located inside the arc-shaped openings, and the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod is located inside the through-hole.

[0008] Furthermore, an anti-slip washer is installed on the bottom inner wall of the placement opening, and the anti-slip washer contacts the top outer surface of the backing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting platform contacts the top surface of the chassis, and the bottom surface of the annular tooling is provided with equally spaced, ring-shaped slots, which engage with the locking posts.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] A clamping device for a large workpiece gear hobbing machine can place the workpiece in the placement opening and fit it together with a ring tool. Then, a stabilizing component can press down on the top of the workpiece and then press the workpiece from the inside to prevent it from shifting, thus achieving a convenient clamping effect.

[0012] Meanwhile, the anti-slip pads inside the placement opening further prevent the workpiece from shifting, and the servo motor of the stabilizing component can drive the lower pressure plate to rotate, which can avoid hindering the workpiece processing. Furthermore, there is no need for a three-jaw chuck, which prevents the product from deforming under force and improves the product processing accuracy. Attached Figure Description

This not only improves processing accuracy but also prevents workpiece deformation, making the processing of large-sized workpieces more efficient and reliable. In existing gear hobbing tooling technology, when processing products with dimensions of 250mm to 300mm, the space between the three-jaw chuck and the worktable is limited, resulting in limited space for the pressure plate, inconvenience in fixing the chuck to the worktable, and easy deformation of the workpiece due to uneven force. These problems seriously affect processing efficiency and product quality. When performing gear hobbing processing on large-sized workpieces, the clamping device of this utility model ensures the stability and accuracy of the workpiece during processing. Through the operation of the servo motor, the lower pressure plate can rotate without obstructing the workpiece processing.

[0023] It should be noted that when the workpiece is placed on the placement opening, that is, when the workpiece is fitted onto the annular fixture 4, the lower pressure plate 84 presses the workpiece down as the cylinder 83 contracts. The lower pressure plate 84 is fixed to the cylinder 83 by bolts. Different shapes of lower pressure plates 84 can be replaced as needed, such as L-shaped ones, which can be used to press the workpiece when the height of the workpiece is less than the depth of the placement opening.

[0030] The bottom of the connecting platform 6 contacts the top surface of the chassis 3, and the bottom surface of the annular tool 4 has equally spaced, ring-shaped slots that engage with the locking post 21.

[0031] It should be noted that there are six locking posts 21, and the locking slots 21 are needle-shaped.

[0032] Working principle: The worktable 1 can be fixed to the gear hobbing machine with bolts. Then, the bottom ring 2 and the base plate 3 are snapped together. Multiple locking pins 21 will also pass through the circular openings set on the base plate 3. Then, the multiple slots of the annular fixture 4 are snapped together with the multiple locking pins 21. Finally, the connecting platform 6 of the annular fixture 4 is connected to the worktable 1 with bolts. That is, the workpiece is placed on the placement opening, that is, the workpiece is fitted on the annular fixture 4. Then, the lower pressure plate 84 presses the workpiece tightly when the cylinder 83 retracts. Multiple second anti-slip pads 88 adhere to the inner wall of the workpiece under the operation of the corresponding electric telescopic rod 86 to prevent the workpiece from sliding. Then, processing can be carried out.
