The clamping device 1 includes an L-shaped base 11, a mounting plate 12, and a pair of right-angle pressure plates 13. The bottom of the L-shaped base 11 is fixed to the worktable 20 by two sets of bolt and nut sets 111. The lower part of the vertically arranged mounting plate 12 is diagonally fixed to the upper part of the L-shaped base 11 by two screws 121. The left end face of the transmission wheel 10 to be processed is positioned on the mounting plate 12 by a positioning pin 14 fixed on the right side of the mounting plate 12. The radial outer edge of the transmission wheel 10 to be processed is fixed to the mounting plate 12 by symmetrically arranged right-angle pressure plates 13. One end of the right-angle pressure plate 13 is symmetrically fixed to the outer edge of the mounting plate 12 by screws 121 at an angle α = 45° with the horizontal line, and the other end is symmetrically pressed against the outer edge of the end face of the mounting plate 12 by screws 121.
[0022] The screw 21 at the left end of the special tool holder 2 passes through the center hole 101 of the transmission wheel to be machined. The transmission nut 3 is screwed onto the screw 21 and rests against the left side of the mounting plate 12 via the plane bearing 6. The right end of the special tool holder 2 has a stepped blind hole 22 at its center, and the right end of the special tool holder 2 also has a cross groove 23 of equal width that passes through the axial center of the stepped blind hole 22.
[0023] The transmission device 5 includes a drive gear 51, an intermediate gear 52, a working gear 53, a drive shaft 54, and an intermediate gear shaft 55.

This ensures that when the dedicated keyway end mill 4 is feeding and milling, the pistol drill 7 will not interfere with the transmission wheel 10 to be machined.
[0027] The end faces of both ends of the intermediate gear shaft 55 and the end face of the shank 42 of the special keyway end mill 4 are 0.75 mm lower than the outer circumference of the special tool holder 2. The cutting edge height H of the special keyway end mill 4 is greater than the keyway height H1 of the transmission wheel to be machined, and H - H1 = 1.5 mm.

[0029] 1) Press the drive shaft 54 into the center hole of the drive gear 51, press the intermediate gear shaft 55 into the center hole of the intermediate gear 52, and press the shank of the special keyway milling cutter 4 into the center hole of the working gear 53, so that the drive gear 51, the intermediate gear 52 and the special keyway milling cutter 4 are fixed to the middle of the drive shaft 54, the middle of the intermediate gear shaft 55 and the middle of the special keyway milling cutter 4 respectively by interference fit, thus completing the component assembly of the transmission device 5.
[0030] 2) Fix the lower part of the vertically mounted mounting plate 12 to the upper part of the L-shaped base 11, and then fix the bottom of the L-shaped base 11 to the worktable 20. Next, fix one end of the guide pin 15 in the hole wall of the center hole 122 of the mounting plate. Then, position the transmission wheel 10 to be processed on the left side of the mounting plate 12 by the positioning pin 14. Then, fix the transmission wheel 10 to be processed on both sides of the mounting plate 12 by the right angle pressure plates 13, thereby completing the positioning and clamping of the transmission wheel 10 to be processed.
[0031] 3) Pass the left end of the special tool holder 2 through the center hole 101 of the transmission wheel to be machined and the center hole 122 of the mounting plate in sequence, and embed one end of the guide pin of the hole wall of the center hole 122 of the mounting plate into the screw guide groove 211. Then install the plane bearing 6 on the right end of the special tool holder 2, so that the right side of the plane bearing 6 abuts against the left side of the mounting plate 12. Then screw the transmission nut 3 onto the special tool holder screw 21, and make the right side of the transmission nut 3 abut against the left side of the plane bearing 6, thereby installing the left end of the special tool holder 2 into the center hole 122 of the mounting plate.
[0032] 4) Insert the two ends of the keyway milling cutter 4, the two ends of the intermediate gear shaft 55, and the two ends of the drive shaft 54 into the first groove 231 of the cross groove 23 on the left end of the special keyway milling cutter 2, with the milling cutter head 41 of the special keyway milling cutter 4 extending beyond the outer circumference of the special guide rod 2.

Then, insert the locking sleeve 25 into the outer end hole 221 of the stepped blind hole 22 of the special keyway milling cutter 2, put on the washer 55, and then tighten the locking nut 24 on the right end of the special keyway milling cutter 2 to limit the drive shaft 54. Next, use a hook wrench to turn the transmission nut 3 to adjust the distance A between the milling cutter head 41 of the special keyway milling cutter 4 and the adjacent surface of the transmission wheel 10 to be machined, so that A = 1.0 mm, completing the installation and adjustment of the transmission device 5.
[0033] 5) First, clamp the chuck 71 of the pistol drill 7 onto the small end of the drive shaft 54. Then, the operator holds the pistol drill 7 with their right hand and presses the pistol drill switch. The drive shaft 54 rotates, the drive gear 51 rotates, and the intermediate gear 52 drives the working gear 53 to rotate, causing the special keyway cutter 4 to rotate. Next, the operator holds the hook wrench with their left hand and turns the transmission nut 3 clockwise, causing the special tool holder 2 to move to the left in the direction of the transmission nut 3. The special keyway cutter 4 feeds towards the direction of the transmission nut 3 while rotating to cut the keyway of the transmission wheel until the special keyway cutter 4 moves to the left out of the center hole 101 of the transmission wheel, completing the cutting of the keyway of the transmission wheel.
[0034] 6) The operator releases the switch of the pistol drill, the drive shaft 54 stops rotating, and the special keyway end mill 4 also stops rotating. Then, the drill chuck 71 of the pistol drill 7 is released, the pistol drill 7 is removed, and the drive shaft 54 is unloaded. Next, the operator holds a hook wrench and turns the transmission nut 3 counterclockwise, causing the special tool holder 2 to move to the right away from the transmission nut 3, until the special keyway end mill 4 exits the center hole 101 of the transmission wheel. Then, the locking nut 24 is unscrewed in sequence, the locking sleeve 25 is removed, and then the drive gear 51, intermediate gear 52 and working gear 53 are removed in sequence to complete the disassembly of the transmission device 5; finally, the right-angle pressure plate 13 is removed, and the completed transmission wheel 10 is taken out.
