Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool processing fixture technology, and in particular to a detachable gear hobbing drive center. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, shaft-type workpieces in gear hobbing fixtures are generally positioned using a center hole, with the center as the main body of the fixture. However, using only the center for positioning only restricts five degrees of freedom of the workpiece, indicating incomplete positioning and failing to meet the positioning requirements. In this case, a constraint is needed on the workpiece, such as clamping the outer diameter or using end-face drive, to prevent the workpiece from sliding with the spindle rotation during gear hobbing, thus causing product scrap. Currently, most fixtures on the market are either expansion sleeve type outer diameter clamping center positioning fixtures or end-face drive type clamping positioning fixtures. Expansion sleeve type fixtures are typically used in gear hobbing machines with hydraulic clamping, while end-face drive type fixtures are mostly one-piece structures, which are relatively expensive. Furthermore, the end-face size varies for different shaft parts, so there may be situations where different sized end-face drive centers need to be used to meet the processing requirements of different workpieces.

[0003] Because these fixtures are not flexible enough to assemble, slow to replace parts, and cannot be adapted to a wider range of machine tools, improvements must be made to address these shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a detachable gear hobbing drive center, including a base 1, a drive bracket 2 on the base 1, the upper end face of the base 1 contacting the lower end face of the drive bracket 2, the drive bracket 2 being detachably connected to the base 1 by a first bolt 7, a drive body 3 on the drive bracket 2, the drive body 3 being detachably connected to the drive bracket 2 by a second bolt 4, a first mounting hole 10 penetrating vertically through the base 1 in the middle, a second mounting hole penetrating vertically through the drive bracket 2 in the middle, the first mounting hole 10 and the second mounting hole communicating with each other, a third mounting hole penetrating vertically through the drive body 3 in the middle, the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole communicating with each other, a center 5 being provided in the second mounting hole, the upper end of the center 5 extending through the third mounting hole to above the drive body 3, and the lower end of the center 5 extending to the first mounting hole 10. Inside, the lower end face of the drive bracket 2 is provided with a spring mounting hole 14 coaxial with the second mounting hole. The diameter of the spring mounting hole 14 is larger than the diameter of the second mounting hole. The center of the tip 5 inside the spring mounting hole 14 is provided with a limiting ring 15. The lower end of the spring mounting hole 14 is provided with a connecting hole 17 with a diameter larger than the spring mounting hole 14. The connecting hole 17 is provided with a first gasket 13 sleeved on the tip 5. The diameter of the hole at the upper end of the first mounting hole 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first gasket 13. The lower end face of the tip 5 is provided with a second gasket 12. The second gasket 12 is fixed on the tip 5 by a third bolt 11. The outer diameter of the second gasket 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the first gasket 13. A spring 16 is sleeved on the tip 5 between the limiting ring 5 and the first gasket 13. The spring 16 is located inside the spring mounting hole 15. The upper end face of the drive bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged limiting strips 6. The base 1 has a large conical structure, and the first mounting hole 10 is a hole that is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top, corresponding to the large conical structure. The drive bracket 2 has a small conical structure, and the limiting strip 6 is integrally formed with the drive body 3. The first mounting hole 10, the second mounting hole, the third mounting hole, the spring mounting hole 14, and the connecting hole 17 are on the same axis.

[0025] In this technical solution, the base 1 is bolted to the gear hobbing machine's worktable. The base 1 can be selected according to the different bolt hole positions of various machine tools, adapting to different machine tools. The center 5 can also be selected according to the size of the center hole of different workpieces, adapting to different workpieces. The drive body 3 can also be selected according to the end face size of different workpieces, adapting to different workpieces. This achieves the characteristic of adapting to different parts and different machine tools. Furthermore, the structure is simple and easy to process, and the purely mechanical structure is also well-suited for older gear hobbing machines. Compared to the shortcomings of products on the market, the biggest advantage of this technical solution is its flexible and detachable assembly. It can assemble different drive centers according to the shape characteristics of different workpieces to meet the processing and clamping requirements.

[0026] In this technical solution, the purpose of the drive body 3 is as follows: after the center 5 locks the workpiece, the four equally divided limiting strips 6 on the drive body 3 can restrict the relative rotation between the workpiece and the center 5, so that the workpiece can only rotate with the rotation of the machine tool spindle; the purpose of the center 5 is to select a center 5 of appropriate size and a matching drive body 3 according to different workpiece sizes; the purpose of the first shim 13 and the second shim 12 is to restrict the up and down movement of the center 5; the purpose of the first bolt 7, the second bolt 4 and the third bolt 11 is to provide a fixed connection; the purpose of the base 1 is to connect to the machine tool worktable, and different bases can be selected according to different machine tools, or raised and connected to meet different needs; the purpose of the spring 16 is to compress after the workpiece contacts the center 5, so that the end face of the workpiece contacts the drive body 3; the purpose of the drive bracket 2 is to provide a connection.

[0027] How the whole solution works:

[0028] When the base 1 is installed on the machine tool, the center point 5 presses against the center hole of the product. After locking, the workpiece will squeeze the center point 5, the spring 16 will be compressed, and the center point 5 will move downward, so that the tip of the limiting bar 6 on the drive body 3 contacts the end face of the workpiece, thereby limiting the rotation between the workpiece and the fixture.

[0029] For example, in some embodiments, the limiting ring 15 and the tip 5 are integrally machined. This ensures stability during use.

[0030] For example, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a protruding ring 18 that inserts into the connecting hole 17. The protruding ring 18 can further limit the drive bracket 2 on the base 1, and also facilitate the installation and fixation of the drive bracket 2.

[0031] For example, in some embodiments, the limiting strip 6 is a triangular protrusion. There are four limiting strips 6. Of course, the triangular protrusions can be set to three, six, or other numbers evenly distributed, depending on the usage requirements, and are not limited to four in the preferred embodiment.

[0032] For example, in some embodiments, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a mounting step 8, and the mounting step 8 is provided with a plurality of base mounting holes 9. This facilitates fixing the base 1 to the gear hobbing machine worktable with bolts.

[0033] For example, in some embodiments, the base mounting holes 9 are six evenly distributed. Of course, the number of base mounting holes 9 can be set to five, seven, or other numbers depending on the usage requirements, and is not limited to the six in the preferred embodiment.

[0034] For example, in some embodiments, the drive bracket 2 is detachably connected to the base 1 by six evenly distributed first bolts 7. Of course, the number of first bolts 7 can be four, eight, or other depending on the usage requirements, and is not limited to six in the preferred embodiment.

[0035] For example, in some embodiments, the drive body 3 is detachably connected to the drive bracket 2 via four evenly distributed second bolts 4. Of course, the number of second bolts 4 can be six, eight, or other depending on the usage requirements, and is not limited to four in the preferred embodiment.

[0036] In summary, the base of this utility model is connected to the worktable of the gear hobbing machine by bolts. The base can be selected according to the different bolt hole positions of different machine tools, thus adapting to various machine tools. The center point can also be selected according to the size of the center hole of different workpieces, adapting to different workpieces. The drive body can also be selected according to the end face size of different workpieces, adapting to different workpieces. This achieves the characteristic of adapting to different parts and different machine tools. Furthermore, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, and the purely mechanical structure is also well-suited for older gear hobbing machines.
