DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0025] Embodiment:

[0027] The positioning tool for combination tooth electric spark machining of the utility model, when using, first make tooth-shaped positioning plate 4 slide upwards and separate from positioning pin 3, take down tooth-shaped positioning plate 4; Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the engaging gear 7 is shaped like a boss, with notches 9 on its external teeth 8 and tooth tips 17 at the end of the external teeth away from the boss. With the smaller outer diameter end of the engaging gear 7 facing upwards, a tooth-shaped positioning plate 4 with an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the external teeth 8 of the engaging gear 7 is fitted onto the external teeth 8 of the engaging gear 7, and the tooth-shaped positioning part 6 is fitted into the notches 9 on the external teeth 8 one-to-one. Then, the engaging gear 7 is fitted onto the positioning core 2, with the positioning core 2 engaging with the inner hole of the engaging gear 7 to roughly position the center of the engaging gear 7. The engaging gear 7 is then fitted and placed on the bottom. During the process on plate 1, the rotating and adjusting gear 7 and toothed positioning plate 4 are used to make the positioning pin 3 pass through the positioning hole 5 of the toothed positioning plate 4 one-to-one, thereby accurately positioning the tooth position and restricting the circumferential rotation of the gear 7. The toothed positioning plate 4 and the toothed positioning part 6 do not obstruct the tooth tip 17 in the axial direction, so as not to affect the processing of the tooth tip 17. In practice, the thickness of the toothed positioning plate 4 can also be controlled so that the toothed positioning plate 4 is lower than the root of the tooth tip 17 in the clamping state, so as to leave more operating space for the processing of the tooth tip 17 and ensure smooth processing.

[0028] The positioning fixture for EDM of the gear described in this utility model has a base plate 1 for supporting and connecting various components and ensuring their positional relationship. The positioning core 2 is used to cooperate with the inner hole of the gear 7 to achieve coarse positioning of the gear 7 on the base plate 1.

A bolt 11 is slidably through the connecting hole. The head of the bolt 11 abuts against the upper surface of the pressure plate 10, and the tail of the bolt 11 faces downward and is threadedly connected to the positioning core 2 or the base plate 1.

[0035] Correspondingly, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a plurality of pin holes, the positioning pin 3 is a component independent of the bottom plate 1, the positioning pin 3 corresponds to the pin hole one by one, and the lower end of the positioning pin 3 is located in the corresponding pin hole.

[0036] Therefore, the positioning pin 3 and the bottom plate 1 are also independent components, which are convenient to process and improve the dimensional accuracy of the positioning pin 3, and the positioning pin 3 is matched with the pin hole and the positioning hole 5 on the tooth-shaped positioning plate 4 through the outer cylindrical surface, so as to improve the position degree of the gear 7 on the bottom plate 1 by cooperating with the positioning core column 2 and realize the precise positioning of the gear 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, the upper end of the positioning pin 3 is tapered, so that the positioning pin 3 is more easily inserted into the positioning hole 5 when the tooth-shaped positioning plate 4 is installed downwardly, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of using the positioning tool and improve the practicability of the positioning tool.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the positioning core column 2 is provided with a clearance hole 13, the bottom plate 1 is vertically connected with an upward cylinder 14 having a telescopic rod 15, the telescopic rod 15 of the cylinder 14 extends into the clearance hole 13 and is slidingly matched, the tail of the bolt 11 is threadedly connected with the telescopic rod 15 of the cylinder 14 through the clearance hole 13, and the tail of the bolt 11 is indirectly connected with the bottom plate 1 through the cylinder 14.

[0039] Thus, in use, only the cylinder 14 action needs to be controlled, the bolt 11 is driven up and down through the telescopic rod 15, the pressing plate 10 can be loosened and taken out transversely, or the pressing plate 10 is pressed down to tightly combine with the gear 7.

[0040] In the embodiment, the pressing plate 10 is connected with the cushion block 16 below, the lower end of the cushion block 16 is lower than the cylinder 14, so as to install the supporting positioning tool on the machining equipment; the symmetry of the tooth tip 17 clamped and machined by the contrast chuck is above 0.1mm, the positioning tool is clamped and machined, the symmetry of the tooth tip 17 can be controlled within 0.03mm, and the circumferential positioning of the repeatedly rotating gear 7 is simpler and more reliable, so that the machining efficiency is doubled.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the technical solutions, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application are modified or replaced, without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
