Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a workpiece auxiliary positioning device for machining combined toothed tapered teeth. Background Technology

[0002] The tapering of mating gears (cross-axis helical gears or spiral bevel gears) is a special manufacturing process used to ensure that the gears achieve an ideal contact pattern and load distribution during operation. The tapering refers to a slight conical design at the tip of the gear teeth, intended to compensate for assembly errors, thermal expansion, and elastic deformation during operation, thereby ensuring good meshing quality throughout the gear's service life. During the tapering of mating gears, the workpiece needs to be placed and fixed on several machined gear plates. Because impurities may exist on the workpiece or the machined gear plates, these impurities may prevent proper contact between the workpiece and the gear plates. Alternatively, dimensional deviations in the workpiece's positioning reference surface may also prevent proper contact with the gear plates, resulting in a slight tilt of the workpiece. Such workpieces will have serious quality problems in the machined gears. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a workpiece auxiliary positioning device for machining combined toothed conical teeth, which is convenient for positioning and detecting the relative position of the workpiece and the machining toothed plate.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A workpiece auxiliary positioning device for machining tapered teeth includes a lower mold base. A plurality of machining teeth are arranged in a horizontal circular array on the top surface of the lower mold base. An airtightness detection block is provided on the inner side of the circle formed by the array of machining teeth, supported on the machining teeth. The top of the airtightness detection block has an airtightness detection surface for airtightness detection in conjunction with a horizontal reference surface on the workpiece to be machined. The airtightness detection surface is horizontal. An air cavity is provided inside the airtightness detection block. At least three detection air passages are provided on the airtightness detection block. One end of each detection air passage communicates with the air cavity, and the other end extends to the airtightness detection surface. An air pipe connection hole, communicating with the air cavity and used for connecting an air pipe, is provided at the bottom of the airtightness detection block. An air pipe through hole is provided on the lower mold base below the air pipe connection hole.

[0006] In this invention, after the workpiece is placed on several mating toothed plates, the horizontal reference surface of the workpiece after machining can mate with the airtightness detection surface on the top of the airtightness detection block. This allows for airtightness testing between these two surfaces. An air pipe passes through the air pipe perforation on the lower mold base and connects to the air pipe connection hole. Air is supplied through the air pipe, and the pressure inside the air chamber is measured. Only when the pressure reaches a specified value, and the gap between the horizontal reference surface of the workpiece and the airtightness detection surface meets the corresponding tolerance requirements, can the principle of three points determining the plane be applied. This indicates that the workpiece is placed on the mating toothed plates and is flush with them, indicating a horizontal position suitable for tapered machining. If the pressure test does not reach the specified value, resulting in air leakage, the workpiece is not placed horizontally on the mating toothed plates and is tilted. In this case, it is necessary to check the workpiece position or the workpiece's dimensions.

[0007] As an optimization, the top protrusion of the airtightness detection block is formed with at least three evenly spaced protrusions arranged around the center line of a circle formed by the array of several meshing toothed plates, and the airtightness detection surface is located on the top surface of the protrusions. This reduces the contact area with the workpiece and minimizes errors.

[0008] As an optimization, the inner sides of the plurality of meshing toothed plates and the outer sides of their corresponding airtightness detection blocks are provided with interlocking protrusions and recesses for positioning the airtightness detection block by rotating it around the center line of the circumference formed by the array of the plurality of meshing toothed plates.

[0009] As an optimization, an upper mold base and a driving device for moving the upper mold base vertically are provided above the lower mold base. A workpiece clamping plate is provided between the several gear teeth and the upper mold base. The bottom surface of the workpiece clamping plate is a horizontally positioned clamping surface. A compression spring is provided between the workpiece clamping plate and the upper mold base, with both ends of the compression spring fixedly connected to the workpiece clamping plate and the upper mold base, respectively. The compression spring can be compressed vertically. By clamping the workpiece, the accuracy of airtightness testing is improved.

[0010] As an optimization, a layer of elastic rubber skin is adhered to the pressing surface.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a simple structure. By detecting the airtightness between the workpiece and the horizontal reference surface after machining, it can quickly detect the position of the workpiece, effectively assisting in the positioning and machining of the workpiece and improving the machining quality of the workpiece.
