Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gear and shaft keyway positioning and pressing fixture, which is suitable for positioning and pressing small gears with keyways on gear shafts. Background Technology

[0002] The EBIKE electric-assist bicycle's central gearbox contains a gear and gear shaft press-fit component that uses a keyway fit. Normal assembly requires manual visual inspection to first assemble the keyway onto the gear shaft, and then visually inspect the alignment of the gear keyway with the flat key on the gear shaft before press-fitting. This press-fitting method can easily damage parts if the alignment is slightly off, causing unnecessary losses. In addition, this assembly cycle is slow and cannot meet the requirements of mass production. However, this tooling uses a positioning device, which saves time and makes assembly quick and convenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology and provide a gear and shaft keyway positioning and pressing fixture that is reasonably designed, simple and practical, reliable in positioning and convenient in testing. This fixture has low manufacturing cost, is easy to use and manage, and is particularly suitable for sample development and small-batch production.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is: a gear and shaft keyway positioning and pressing fixture, including an upper pressing fixture and a lower pressing fixture. The lower pressing fixture includes a base, and a handle mounting platform is fixed on the side of the base. The handle is mounted on the handle mounting platform. A square groove is opened at the end of the handle. The size of the square groove is the same as the key width. By pulling the handle, the square groove is made to fit exactly on the flat key of the gear shaft, so as to realize the alignment of the flat key on the gear shaft with the gear keyway. At the same time, the stroke can be adjusted.

[0005] The base of this utility model is equipped with a positioning block on the top, and the top of the positioning block forms a central positioning shaft; the central positioning shaft is used to be positioned in the gear keyway, which facilitates the pressing of the gear shaft later.

[0006] This utility model relates to a plastic base press-fitted onto a positioning block, wherein the plastic base is provided with a groove. The gear workpiece is placed on the plastic base, and the gear is circumferentially positioned by the groove on the plastic base aligning with the gear keyway. The contact space between the central positioning shaft, the plastic base, and the gear workpiece on the plastic base serves as the pressing surface, and the pressing operation is completed within this pressing surface.

[0007] Preferably, the central positioning shaft is provided with a locking groove in the middle, and the plastic base is provided with a locking block. The plastic base is locked into the locking groove of the central positioning shaft by the locking block, and the plastic base is pressed onto the positioning block by the locking groove.

[0008] Preferably, the central positioning axis is located at the center of the plastic base.

[0009] Preferably, the base is mounted on the workbench with fixing screws; the handle mounting plate is mounted on the base with fixing screws; and the positioning block is mounted on the base with fixing screws.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: 1. This utility model is simple and practical, reliable in positioning, and low in cost, making it particularly suitable for sample development and small-batch production; 2. It is very convenient to use, has low requirements for the usage environment, and has a fault-proof function when used on-site, preventing damage to parts; 3. It is simple to use and does not require high qualifications from employees, who can master the operation method simply by receiving on-site training. Attached Figure Description
