Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear processing tooling technology, and in particular to a gear turning burr extrusion device. Background Technology

[0002] The conventional hobbing followed by extrusion, or the use of a separate extrusion machine for extrusion processing, both of these processing methods use the extrusion cutter as the power source, and the gears on the workpiece are meshed and followed, both of which suffer from low efficiency.

[0003] Specifically:

[0004] In the conventional hobbing and extrusion process, the extrusion cutter spindle lacks operational flexibility and cannot be programmed as conveniently and precisely as a CNC lathe. This results in the teeth of the parts being easily damaged during the extrusion meshing and gear alignment process, leading to scrapping. In severe cases, it can even cause tooling damage and production line shutdown.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0033] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment relates to a gear clamping mechanism for clamping and positioning the gear 1 to be processed. It can be adapted to be installed on a common flat-rail CNC lathe and is suitable for removing burrs, extrusion burrs and extrusion burrs on the end face of gear hobbing. It includes a gear fixing seat 2 and a gear connecting shaft 3.

[0034] Specifically, the rear end of the gear holder 2 is mounted on a flange 4, which is further connected to the spindle 5 of the CNC lathe. By driving the spindle 5 of the CNC lathe, the gear holder 2 and the gear it is fixed with can be provided with power.

[0035] More preferably, the gear fixing seat 2 is locked and fixed to the flange 4 by an internal hexagon screw, and the flange 4 is locked and fixed to the CNC lathe spindle 5 by an internal hexagon screw.

[0036] Secondly, the front end of the gear fixing seat 2 has a gear connecting shaft 3 for mounting the gear 1 to be processed. A gear tip 6 that can hold the gear to be processed is installed on the gear connecting shaft 3. The gear tip 6 is used for axial fixation and centering of the gear 1 to be processed. The gear tip 6 is configured to be connected to the rotary tip 8 on the tailstock 7 of the CNC lathe to ensure the stability and accuracy of the entire processing.

[0037] More preferably, the gear tip 6 can accurately abut against the front end face of the gear 1 being processed, and the rear end face of the gear 1 being processed is abutted against the stepped surface of the gear connecting shaft 3.

[0038] The CNC lathe spindle 5 will drive the flange 4 and the gear fixing seat 2 to rotate together. Due to the tight fit between the gear connecting shaft 3 and the gear 1 being machined, the gear 1 being machined will also rotate together with the gear connecting shaft 3, and then undergo subsequent deburring and extrusion operations. Example

[0039] Please see Figure 3-6 This embodiment relates to a gear deburring and extrusion device, including a CNC lathe, a gear clamping mechanism, a deburring head, and an extrusion head located within the CNC lathe.

[0040] The gear clamping mechanism adopts the gear clamping mechanism in Embodiment 1. The burr-cutting working head and the rib-extending working head are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the gear clamping mechanism, which can respectively perform burr-cutting and rib-extending actions on the gear being processed.

[0041] Specifically, the first is the deburring head, which can deburr the end face of gear hobbing and the extrusion burr. It includes a deburring fixture 9 and a deburring cutter 10.

[0042] The burr cutter 10 is mounted on the burr clamp 9. When the burr clamp 9 is driven, it causes the burr cutter 10 to move relative to the gear 1 being processed on the gear clamping mechanism for burr removal.

[0043] Secondly, there is the extrusion head, which enables extrusion operations. It includes a housing 11, a rear cover 12, a non-powered extrusion spindle 13, and an extrusion blade 14.

[0044] The unpowered extrusion spindle 13 is coaxially mounted inside the housing 11. The front end of the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 extends out of the front end of the housing 11. The rear end of the housing 11 is coaxially connected to the rear cover 12. An extrusion blade 14 is mounted on the front end of the unpowered extrusion spindle 13. When the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 is driven, it drives the extrusion blade 14 to move relative to the work-grinding gear 1 on the gear clamping mechanism for extrusion.

[0045] Furthermore, the inner walls of the front and rear ends of the housing 11 are provided with limiting grooves, and the outer side of the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 is fitted with a bearing 15. The bearing 15 plays the role of supporting the unpowered extrusion spindle. The bearing 15 is set in the limiting groove, which ensures that the bearing 15 and the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 are in a stable position within the housing and are not prone to displacement or shaking.

[0046] Furthermore, a nut 16 is fitted to the rear end of the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 to axially lock the bearing 15, which serves as a pre-tightening and fixing function, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire unpowered extrusion spindle 13; an oil seal 17 is also provided between the front end of the housing 11 and the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 to prevent dust and prevent iron filings from entering the internal bearing.

[0047] Furthermore, a flat key 18 is installed between the front end of the non-powered extrusion spindle 13 and the extrusion cutter. One side of the flat key 18 is connected to the non-powered extrusion spindle 13, and the other end of the flat key 18 contacts and fits tightly with the non-working surface of the extrusion cutter 14, which is used to provide radial limiting and fixing function when the extrusion cutter is working.

[0048] Furthermore, the front end of the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 has a pressure block 19 and a locking nut 20. The pressure block 19 is configured to connect to the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 and the extrusion cutter 14 to compensate for the width of the extrusion cutter, ensuring that the extrusion cutter can be stably mounted on the unpowered extrusion spindle 13. The locking nut 20 is connected to the front end of the powered extrusion spindle 13 to fix the pressure block 19 and the extrusion cutter 14, preventing them from loosening or shifting during processing.

[0049] The operation flow of the gear deburring device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] First, remove burrs from the end face of the gear hobbing machine: Since there will be flanged burrs on one side of the end face of the gear 1 after hobbing, which will affect the extrusion operation, the burrs must be removed first.

[0051] Start the lathe, so that the deburring fixture 9 is driven to drive the deburring cutter 10 to gradually approach the end face of the gear 1 to be machined according to the set parameters. The cutting edge of the deburring cutter 10 contacts the burr on the end face of the gear and begins to cut. After the cutting is completed, it gradually returns to the initial position so that the burr on the next tooth end can be cut.

[0052] Second, edge forming: After the burr removal operation on the gear hobbing end face is completed, the burr removal cutter 10 retracts, and the edge forming cutter 14 begins to edge the gear 1 being machined:

[0053] When meshing begins, the spindle 5 rotates at a low speed to ensure that the teeth of the extrusion cutter 14 can mesh smoothly with the teeth of the gear 1 being processed. After successful meshing, the spindle 5 begins to increase its speed, causing the gear 1 being processed to rotate and simultaneously driving the extrusion cutter 14 on the unpowered extrusion spindle 13 to be driven. After completing the clockwise extrusion, the spindle 5 stops and then rotates counterclockwise to ensure that both sides of the workpiece teeth can be extruded.

[0054] Third, deburring: After the edge is extruded, the edge extrusion cutter 14 retracts, and there will be flanged burrs on both sides of the workpiece edge. At this time, the deburring cutter moves again to remove the burrs on both sides.

[0055] The processing flow of the deburring and extrusion device of this utility model is the opposite of the processing flow of the prior art. The gear to be processed is mounted on the spindle tooling of the CNC lathe, and the tailstock uses the improved gear tip to center the workpiece.

[0056] Meanwhile, a non-powered extrusion spindle is added to the CNC lathe's tool rack. The extrusion tool is mounted on the non-powered extrusion spindle to achieve three processing operations: first, the gear hobbing burr is cut; then, the extrusion is performed; and finally, the extrusion end face burr is cut. The same machine and the same clamping are used to perform three processing operations.

[0057] This utility model integrates processes, increasing efficiency by more than three times, and avoids the scrapping of meshing top teeth. If different products need to be extruded, only the cutting tools and parts need to be replaced. The non-powered extrusion spindle is universal, and multiple special machines can be prepared for processing. By removing the non-powered extrusion spindle, the equipment can be restored to a regular flat-rail CNC lathe, achieving two uses in one machine.

[0058] The beneficial effects of this utility model gear deburring and burring device are:

[0059] It can complete three processes in one clamping on the same machine: first, it cuts the burrs produced by gear hobbing, then it performs the extrusion operation, and finally it cuts the burrs on the rear face of the extrusion.

[0060] The highly integrated processing steps increase production efficiency by more than three times, completely eliminating the problem of parts scrap caused by meshing teeth. It is versatile and can meet the processing needs of different types of products.

[0061] By simply removing the non-powered extrusion spindle, the equipment can be restored to a regular flat-rail CNC lathe, achieving dual functionality and improving processing flexibility and efficiency.

[0062] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
