Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat treatment technology, specifically to a device for controlling the deformation of a large thin-walled external gear ring during heat treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in actual production, the machining and heat treatment of large thin-walled gear rings are quite difficult. During machining, due to their large size and thin walls, when a large fixing force is applied when fixing the gear ring on the machine tool, the gear ring has already undergone a certain degree of elliptical deformation. In the subsequent induction hardening and tempering process, the amount of elliptical deformation is further increased.

[0003] In order to control the deformation of the gear ring during the quenching process, Chinese patent (publication number: CN201634734U) discloses a special mold for controlling the deformation of a large thin-walled gear ring during quenching. The special mold is installed on the inner side of the gear ring to provide support for the inner side of the gear ring, thereby preventing the gear ring from deforming after quenching.

[0004] However, there are some problems with the use of this special mold. First, since the gear ring needs to be tempered after quenching, the special mold can only prevent the gear ring from deforming inward during the tempering stage, and it is difficult to control the deformation of the gear ring inward. Second, for the already deformed gear ring, the roundness of the gear ring needs to be corrected. The special mold can only correct the roundness of the inner circle of the gear ring, and cannot correct the roundness of the outer circle of the gear ring. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a deformation control device for heat treatment of a large thin-walled external gear ring, which can control the deformation of the gear ring towards the inner and outer sides during the tempering stage.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A heat treatment deformation control device for a large thin-walled external gear ring includes a fixing member. The fixing member is provided with at least two first support units distributed along the circumference of the gear ring. The working end of the first support unit abuts against the inner ring of the gear ring. The first support unit is detachably connected to a second support unit, the working end of the second support unit abutting against the outer ring of the gear ring.

[0008] By adopting the above scheme, when in use, the second support unit is connected to the first support unit. The first support unit supports the inner ring of the gear ring, and the second support unit supports the outer ring of the gear ring. The first support unit and the second support unit respectively clamp the inner and outer sides of the gear ring. The first support unit can prevent the gear ring from deforming inward, and the second support unit can prevent the gear ring from deforming outward, thereby better controlling the deformation of the gear ring.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the first support unit includes a support arm and a first clamping block. One end of the support arm is fixedly connected to a fixing member, and the other end of the support arm is fixedly connected to a fixing block. At least one first adjusting bolt is threaded onto the fixing block. One end of the first adjusting bolt is connected to the first clamping block, and the first adjusting bolt can drive the first clamping block to press against the inner ring of the gear ring. By adjusting the first adjusting bolt, the first clamping block is driven to press against the inner ring of the gear ring, which allows the first support unit to adapt to gear rings with different inner diameters. Furthermore, if the gear ring is deformed, by adjusting the first clamping block to press against the inner ring of the gear ring, and then performing heat treatment on the gear ring, the gear ring is deformed from the inside to the outside under the pressing action of the first clamping block, thereby achieving the effect of rounding from the inside of the gear ring.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the second support unit includes a second clamping block and at least one connecting arm. Both ends of the connecting arm are provided with hooks. One hook engages with a fixing block, and the other hook is threadedly connected to a second adjusting bolt. One end of the second adjusting bolt is connected to the second clamping block, and the second adjusting bolt can drive the second clamping block to press against the outer ring of the gear ring. Through the second adjusting bolt, the second clamping block is driven to press against the outer ring of the gear ring, allowing the second pressing unit to adapt to gear rings of different outer diameters. Furthermore, if the gear ring is deformed, by adjusting the second clamping block to press against the outer ring of the gear ring, and then heat-treating the gear ring, the gear ring will deform from the outside to the inside under the pressing action of the second clamping block, thereby achieving the effect of rounding from the outside of the gear ring. Since one hook of the connecting arm engages with the fixing block, when the second adjusting bolt drives the second clamping block to press against the outer ring of the gear ring, the hook of the connecting arm engages the fixing block, thus fixing the connecting arm and the fixing block together. The first and second clamping blocks together clamp the gear ring, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the second support unit.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the working end of the first clamping block abuts against the inner ring of the gear ring in an arc shape that matches the inner ring of the gear ring. Because the end of the first clamping block used to hold the inner ring of the gear ring is an arc shape that matches the inner ring of the gear ring, this results in a larger contact area between the first clamping block and the inner ring of the gear ring, thereby providing better support for the gear ring.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the working end of the second clamping block abuts against the outer ring of the gear ring in an arc shape that matches the outer ring of the gear ring. Because the working end of the second clamping block abuts against the outer ring of the gear ring in an arc shape that matches the outer ring of the gear ring, this results in a larger contact area between the second clamping block and the outer ring of the gear ring, thereby providing better support for the gear ring.

[0013] This invention is further configured such that there are two connecting arms, the first ends of which correspond one-to-one with the two ends of the fixing block distributed along the circumference of the fixing member, and the second ends of which correspond one-to-one with the two ends of the second clamping block distributed along the circumference of the fixing member. By hooking the two ends of the fixing block with the two connecting arms respectively, and by using the two second adjusting bolts to abut against the second clamping block, the second clamping block can more stably support the gear ring.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the first clamping block has a first groove for inserting a first adjusting bolt, and the second clamping block has a second groove for inserting a second adjusting bolt. Inserting the first adjusting bolt into the first groove enhances the stability of the connection between the first clamping block and the first adjusting bolt. Inserting the second adjusting bolt into the second groove enhances the stability of the connection between the second clamping block and the second adjusting bolt.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the fixing member is ring-shaped. The ring-shaped fixing member is lighter overall.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the first support unit is evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the fixing member. The even distribution of the first support unit along the circumferential direction of the fixing member makes the support distribution for the gear ring more uniform.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the first support unit comprises six units.

[0018] In summary, the large thin-walled external gear ring heat treatment deformation control device provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. It can control the deformation of the gear ring towards the inward and outward directions.

[0020] 2. It can perform inner and outer rounding treatments on deformed gear rings. Attached Figure Description
