Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to hob installation fixtures, specifically to a hob cutter runout auxiliary adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, the hobbing device is a core component in gear machining, and its installation accuracy directly affects the machining quality of the gears. Existing hobbing devices typically employ an assembly structure consisting of a hob shaft, spacers, hobs, and locking nuts. Multiple hobs are arranged at intervals via spacers and secured by nuts. Due to inherent machining errors and assembly clearances, the hobs are prone to radial runout exceeding tolerances during high-speed rotation, leading to problems such as decreased gear machining accuracy and abnormal tool wear.
[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses the shim compensation method for radial runout correction. This involves manually adding metal shims between different spacers after detecting runout deviation to adjust the axial position of the hob. This method has several technical drawbacks: First, the correction process requires repeated disassembly and reassembly of the tool assembly, necessitating re-detection of the runout value after each adjustment, resulting in low debugging efficiency. Second, the selection of shim thickness relies heavily on operator experience, making precise fine-tuning difficult and often requiring multiple trials to meet tolerance requirements. Third, traditional metal shims have limited thickness specifications (commonly 0.1mm or 0.2mm) and insufficient surface flatness, easily causing stress concentration on the contact surface and affecting assembly stability. With the increasing demand for high-precision gear machining, existing correction methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of modern intelligent manufacturing in terms of adjustment accuracy, ease of operation, and process stability. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a hob runout auxiliary adjustment device that can achieve efficient and accurate correction of hob radial runout, while improving assembly stability and ease of operation.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A hob cutter skid-off adjustment device includes an adjustment base with parallel mounting surfaces on both sides. A mounting shaft hole is provided on the adjustment base at a position on the mounting surface, with the center line of the mounting shaft hole perpendicular to the mounting surface. The adjustment base can be sleeved on the hob cutter shaft through the mounting shaft hole and is drively connected to the hob cutter shaft. On one side of the mounting surface, outside the mounting shaft hole, several adjustment holes are provided at even intervals around the center line of the mounting shaft hole. The center line of the adjustment holes is parallel to the center line of the mounting shaft hole. Adjustment holes are provided on the circumferential surface in the linear direction, corresponding to the positions of each adjustment hole. The adjustment holes extend radially along the mounting shaft hole and communicate with the adjustment holes. An adjustment post is provided inside the adjustment hole. The adjustment post can slide and engage with the adjustment hole along the center line direction. An adjustment post is provided inside the adjustment hole that can move along the center line direction of the adjustment hole and can be locked and fixed together with the adjustment base. The inner end of the adjustment post extends into the adjustment hole. The lower end of the adjustment post and the inner end of the adjustment post are wedge-shaped and engaged. The upper end of the adjustment post can be extended out of the adjustment hole by moving the adjustment post.
[0007] In use, this utility model is installed between the hob and the spacer, with the side containing the adjusting column facing the direction of the hob. A dial indicator or micrometer is installed on a stable bracket, and the cutter is rotated to observe the change in the indicator reading and calculate the runout. The adjusting column is moved and adjusted according to the required compensation position, thereby controlling the distance the adjusting column extends beyond the adjusting hole to adjust the hob position. After locking the adjusting column to the adjusting base, the radial runout of the hob is measured again. Based on the analysis of the current measurement structure and the previous measurement structure, the corresponding adjusting column is moved and adjusted again until the hob finally meets the radial runout requirement.
[0008] As an optimization, the adjusting hole is a threaded hole, and the adjusting pin is a threaded pin that is threaded into the adjusting hole. An internal hexagonal hole is recessed on the outer end face of the adjusting pin along its centerline. Rotation via a spiral motion allows for more precise adjustment of the adjusting pin's feed rate and relative position locking.
[0009] As an optimization, the outer end of the adjusting column extends beyond the adjusting base, and a column head is formed by a protrusion along the center line of the outer end of the adjusting column. The diameter of the column head is larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting column, and the internal hexagonal hole is located on the outer end face of the column head. This facilitates operation of the internal hexagonal hole using tools.
[0010] As an optimization, the inner end of the adjusting column is a frustum with a gradually decreasing diameter, and the lower end face of the adjusting column is provided with an inclined surface that matches the frustum.
[0011] As an optimization, the cone angle of the wedge fit is 7°±0.5°, which provides more precise adjustment control.
[0012] As an optimization, the adjustment hole is a rectangular hole, and the adjustment post has a rectangular cross-sectional geometry that matches the adjustment hole. This prevents the adjustment post from rotating and provides better guidance and positioning.
[0013] As an optimization, a keyway is provided on the wall of the mounting shaft hole, extending in a direction parallel to the center line of the mounting shaft hole. The keyway is a through groove.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model replaces traditional shim compensation and achieves rapid and accurate correction of the radial runout of the hob by adjusting each adjusting column. This greatly reduces the reliance on operator experience, not only improving the hob installation efficiency but also enhancing assembly stability and ease of operation. Attached Figure Description
