[0002] Traditional gear processing machines, such as gear shapers, require constant adjustments to the workpiece position during gear and keyway machining, affecting the machining accuracy. In addition, gear shapers have limited feed stroke, limiting their ability to process small workpieces, resulting in poor practicality and user experience, which hinders their promotion and use. Increasing the feed stroke of gear shapers would require significant modifications to the overall size and operational stability of the machine, which would be too costly.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fully automatic operating table for machining gears that has a simple structure, can not only meet the requirements of sufficient machining stroke, but also improves operational stability and practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a fully automatic operating table for processing gears, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A corner table is mounted on the base, and the workpiece is coaxially mounted on the corner table.

[0009] A three-axis slide table is mounted on the base. The three-axis slide table drives a tungsten carbide tool to move closer to or away from the workpiece. The extension length of the tungsten carbide tool is not less than the machining dimension of the workpiece.

[0010] Preferably, the tungsten carbide cutting tool includes:

[0011] A tool holder, the top of which is vertically mounted on the three-axis slide, and the length of the tool holder is not less than the machining dimension of the workpiece;

[0016] Preferably, the three-axis slide further includes:

[0017] The second slide is vertically slidably connected to the first slide and driven by the fourth motor; the tool bar is vertically mounted on the second slide.

[0018] The fifth motor is mounted on the second slide, and the tungsten carbide cutter head is driven by the fifth motor.

[0019] Preferably, the three-axis slide further includes:

[0020] The system comprises a first slide rail, a second slide rail, and a third slide rail. The first slide rail is mounted on the base and slides in cooperation with the platform. The second slide rail is mounted on the platform and slides in cooperation with the first slide block. The third slide rail is mounted on the first slide block and slides in cooperation with the second slide block.

[0021] Preferably, the corner platform includes:

[0022] Indexing plate, the indexing plate is rotatably connected to the base and driven by a sixth motor on the base;

[0023] A chuck is fixedly connected to the indexing plate, and the workpiece is clamped onto the chuck.

[0029] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the tungsten carbide tool is mounted coaxially with the workpiece via a corner table, and then driven by a three-axis slide table to move the tool closer to or away from the workpiece.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 A specific embodiment of this utility model provides a fully automatic operating table for processing gears, comprising:

[0035] Base 1;

[0036] A corner table is mounted on a base 1, and workpiece 10 is coaxially mounted on the corner table.

[0037] The three-axis slide is mounted on the base 1. The three-axis slide drives the tungsten carbide tool to approach or move away from the workpiece 10. The extension length of the tungsten carbide tool is not less than the machining dimension of the workpiece 10.

[0038] Traditional gear machining machines, such as gear shapers, require constant adjustments to the workpiece position during gear and keyway machining, affecting machining accuracy. Furthermore, gear shapers have limited feed stroke, limiting their processing to smaller workpieces, resulting in poor practicality and user experience, hindering widespread adoption. Increasing the feed stroke requires significant modifications to the overall size and operational stability of the gear shaper, leading to prohibitively high costs. In this application, a corner table is coaxially mounted with the workpiece 10, and a three-axis slide moves the tungsten carbide tool closer to or further from the workpiece 10. This eliminates the need for repeated clamping of the workpiece 10, providing sufficient machining stroke for the tungsten carbide tool. Tungsten carbide tools possess excellent hardness and wear resistance. Traditional gear shaper tools can only process materials with a hardness up to 300, while those with a hardness exceeding 300 cannot be processed. The tungsten carbide tool of this application can process materials with a hardness of 500, promoting efficient operation and allowing for the processing of larger and harder workpieces 10 compared to traditional gear shapers. Overall, this application features a simple structure, providing sufficient machining stroke while improving operational stability and practicality.

[0040] Tool holder 8, the top of tool holder 8 is vertically mounted on the three-axis slide, and the length of tool holder 8 is not less than the machining dimension of workpiece 10;

[0041] The tungsten carbide cutter head 9 is mounted at the bottom of the cutter bar 8 and is driven by the first motor on the three-axis slide.

[0042] The tool holder 8 and the tungsten carbide cutter head 9 can be moved horizontally or vertically by the three-axis slide table, which can process the internal and external teeth of the workpiece 10 and the keyway of the workpiece 10. During the processing, it is not necessary to repeatedly disassemble, position and install the workpiece 10. Only the operation of the three-axis slide table is needed to move the tool holder 8 and the tungsten carbide cutter head 9 to different processing positions.

[0043] Further optimization of the solution, the three-axis slide includes:

[0044] Platform 3 is slidably connected to base 1 and is driven by a second motor on base 1;

[0045] The first slide block 5 is slidably connected to the platform 3 and is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the platform 3. The first slide block 5 is driven by the third motor on the platform 3, and the tool bar 8 moves vertically by the fourth motor on the first slide block 5.

[0046] Platform 3 and the first slide 5 can drive the tungsten carbide cutter head 9 to move in the horizontal plane. The tungsten carbide cutter head 9 can move vertically through the cutter bar 8 and the fourth motor to achieve a wide range of displacement, thereby adapting to workpieces 10 of different sizes and different processing positions of the same workpiece 10.

[0047] Further optimizations to the design include:

[0048] The second slide 7 is vertically slidably connected to the first slide 5 and driven by the fourth motor. The tool bar 8 is vertically mounted on the second slide 7.

[0049] The fifth motor is mounted on the second slide 7, and the tungsten carbide cutter head 9 is driven by the fifth motor.

[0050] The tool holder 8 is vertically mounted on the second slide 7. The length of the tool holder 8 is at least 1m, which can meet the machining stroke of larger workpieces 10.

[0051] Further optimizations to the design include:

[0052] The first slide rail 2, the second slide rail 4, and the third slide rail 6 are mounted on the base 1 and slide in cooperation with the platform 3. The second slide rail 4 is mounted on the platform 3 and slides in cooperation with the first slide block 5. The third slide rail 6 is mounted on the first slide block 5 and slides in cooperation with the second slide block 7.

[0053] The first slide rail 2, the second slide rail 4, and the third slide rail 6 can effectively promote the operational stability of the platform 3, the first slide block 5, and the second slide block 7, thereby ensuring the stability of machining accuracy.

[0054] Further optimization of the design, the corner platform includes:

[0055] Indexing plate 12 is rotatably connected to base 1 and driven by a sixth motor on base 1.

[0056] The chuck is fixedly connected to the indexing plate 12, and the workpiece 10 is clamped onto the chuck.

[0057] The chuck can be a three-jaw chuck, which can be used for manual or electric clamping. It can meet the requirements of rapid installation and positioning, ensure processing quality and accuracy, greatly reduce labor costs, and greatly improve production efficiency.

[0058] Further optimizations to the plan include:

[0059] Worm 11 is rotatably connected to base 1 and is also connected to the sixth motor drive.

[0060] The external gear ring is located on the periphery of the indexing plate 12 and meshes with the worm gear 11.

[0061] By engaging the worm gear 11 with the external gear ring, the workpiece 10 can be stably driven to rotate during the machining process.

[0062] Further optimizations to the plan include:

[0063] The second motor is connected to the platform 3 via ball screws, the third motor is connected to the first slide 5 via ball screws, and the fourth motor is connected to the second slide 7 via ball screws.
