Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gear shaft riveting and positioning fixture for a speed reducer assembly, belonging to the technical field of gear shaft riveting equipment for speed reducers. Background Technology

[0002] The reducer is a core component in the automotive DP-EPS steering system, especially the gear shaft riveting, which is a critical process. The reducer assembly is clamped by axial positioning through the end face of the gear shaft. The existing riveting process involves gear shaft 17 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 2 Under stress, the inner hole of housing 16 is centered to achieve positioning. After clamping, because the center of gravity of the worm end is not on the central axis, and the small end face of the gear shaft cannot overcome the self-weight of the worm end, the axial position is slightly tilted, resulting in a low success rate of riveting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new positioning fixture to solve the above problems existing in the riveting method of gear shaft of reducer assembly. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The gear shaft press-fit positioning fixture for the reducer assembly includes a base 1, a load-bearing block 4, a housing positioning plate 5, a guide support block 2, a guide rod 6, and a compression spring 9 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 and 2 ).

[0021] The base 1 has a guide support block 2 at its center (see instruction manual). Figure 1 and 2 ).

[0022] The base 1 has a centrally located internal threaded hole 10; a guide support block 2 is mounted on the base 1 through the internal threaded hole 10; mounting holes 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the internal threaded hole 10 (see the appendix of the instruction manual). Figure 3 and 4 ).

[0023] The top of the guide support block 2 is fixed with a load-bearing block 4 by a locking screw 3 (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 The top of the load-bearing block 4 is provided with a positioning end face 12; the center of the load-bearing block 4 is provided with an assembly conical hole 13 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 5 The load-bearing block 4 is installed on the top of the guide support block 2 through the assembly tapered hole 13.

[0024] Guide support block 2 has a stepped structure (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 7 The guide support block 2 is slidably fitted with a housing positioning plate 5 (see the instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 and 6 ).

[0025] Guide rods 6 are symmetrically mounted on the base 1 on both sides of the guide support block 2 through mounting holes 11; bushings 8 are mounted on the housing positioning plate 5 above the guide rods 6 through through holes 7; the guide rods 6 extend into the bushings 8 and slide therein.

[0026] A compression spring 9 is fitted onto the guide rod 6 below bushing 8 (see instruction manual appendix). Figure 1 and 2 The compression spring 9 always has a tendency to push the housing positioning plate 5 upward through the bushing 8.

[0027] A stepped sliding hole 14 is provided at the center of the housing positioning plate 5; the stepped sliding hole 14 is slidably connected to the guide support block 2; a stepped positioning surface 15 is provided on the circumferential surface of the housing positioning plate 5 (see the appendix of the instruction manual). Figure 6 The diameter of the stepped positioning surface 15 is the same as the inner diameter of the housing 16.

[0028] When the gear shaft riveting and positioning fixture of the reducer assembly is working, the inner hole of the housing 16 first engages with the stepped positioning surface 15. The initial positioning is based on the large end face of the housing to determine the axis and the inner hole of the housing 16 to determine the center. This overcomes the self-weight of the worm end and ensures that the gear shaft is in a vertical state. The housing positioning plate 5 is supported by a compression spring 9. During the pressing process, the housing positioning plate 5 descends with the compression of the spring until the end face of the gear shaft 17 is subjected to force. At this time, the end face of the gear shaft 17 is positioned for the second time. The center of the inner hole of the housing 16 remains unchanged, and the riveting operation is completed. This achieves the purpose of improving the dimensional process capability after riveting and solves the problem of low riveting success rate in the existing gear shaft riveting method of reducer assembly.

[0029] This gear shaft riveting and positioning fixture for reducer assembly is compact and ingeniously designed. It can complete the riveting and positioning of the gear shaft of the reducer assembly through two positioning methods. During the riveting process, the housing positioning plate 5 provides auxiliary support, effectively overcoming the self-weight of the worm end and ensuring that the gear shaft of the reducer assembly is always in a vertical state. This solves the problem of low riveting success rate in existing gear shaft riveting methods for reducer assembly, and is particularly suitable for the needs of gear shaft riveting for reducer assembly.
