Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gear grinding machine tools, and relates to grinding fixtures, particularly to adjustable angle gear grinding fixtures. Background Technology
[0002] Gear couplings, as a type of flexible coupling with high torque transmission capacity, are widely used in heavy machinery, marine power systems, generator sets, and high-speed rolling mills. They achieve power transmission between two shafts through the meshing of internal and external teeth and compensate for axial, radial, and angular installation deviations.
[0003] The tooth profile accuracy of the external gear bushing directly affects the transmission efficiency and stability of the gear coupling. Traditional gear grinding fixtures hold the workpiece in a fixed clamp and use a grinding wheel to grind the tooth profile along a preset trajectory. However, existing technologies have the following problems: traditional fixtures use rigid clamping, and the workpiece tilt angle is generally no more than 8°. Otherwise, it will cause interference between the grinding wheel and the workpiece or insufficient machining rigidity, affecting the tooth profile accuracy. Angle adjustment requires multiple clamping or fixture changes, which is inefficient and has poor repeatability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing an adjustable angle gear grinding fixture to solve these problems.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: an adjustable angle gear grinding fixture, characterized in that it includes a hydraulic chuck for clamping the workpiece, a fixed base, and a rotatable fixture table, on which a rotating disk that can drive the hydraulic chuck to rotate is installed, and the hydraulic chuck is fixedly installed on the rotating disk.
[0006] Both sides of the fixed base are provided with guide parts with a semi-circular structure, and the lower end of the tooling table extends axially downward with a mating part that is movable and cooperates with both ends of the fixed base.
[0007] The tooling table and the fixed base are connected by a guide part and a mating part structure, and an adjustment mechanism is also provided between the tooling table and the fixed base to facilitate the adjustment of the tilt angle of the tooling table.
[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes a worm, a worm wheel, and two connecting seats. The two ends of the worm are movably connected to the connecting seats and mesh with the worm wheel to achieve the adjustment of the tooling table tilt angle.
[0009] Each guide section has a guide hole for easy angle adjustment, and the tooling table is fixed to the fixed base by fastening bolts and nuts.
[0010] In the aforementioned adjustable angle gear grinding fixture, the fastening bolt passes through the guide hole and connects with the mating part, and is fastened by the nut and the fastening screw. The fixture table is guided to move along the outer edge of its guide part by the cooperation of the worm and the worm wheel.
[0011] In the aforementioned adjustable angle gear grinding fixture, the worm gear and the fixed base are integrally formed, the connecting seat and the lower part of the fixture table are integrally formed, and the worm can be driven by a servo motor or manually adjusted to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fixture table.
[0012] In the aforementioned adjustable angle gear grinding fixture, a floating mechanism for clamping and buffering positioning is also provided on the center of the hydraulic chuck. This floating mechanism includes a reference plate, an elastic element, and a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor can monitor and provide feedback on the clamping force in real time to prevent overload.
[0013] In the aforementioned adjustable angle gear grinding fixture, the jaw surfaces of the hydraulic chuck are all covered with a wear-resistant ceramic layer, which helps to reduce gear clamping damage.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this adjustable angle gear grinding fixture has a simple structural design. It utilizes the structural cooperation of a fixed base and a fixture table to make the fixture angle flexible. It can perform grinding operations on gears with tilt angles between 2° and 12°.
