Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of shaft parts processing, specifically relating to a rapid positioning and processing device for spline tooth surfaces of shaft parts. Background Technology
[0002] Shaft parts play a crucial role in mechanical equipment, supporting transmission components, transmitting torque, and bearing loads. Their machining accuracy directly affects equipment performance. Some shaft parts require milling a plane on the spline tooth surface for assembly positioning, but existing technologies have significant drawbacks.
[0003] Existing technologies for machining splined tooth surfaces on shaft parts rely on high-precision dial indicators to measure the splined tooth surface in multiple directions. This involves repeatedly adjusting the workpiece position to achieve a horizontal splined tooth surface, a cumbersome and inefficient process. Due to the small area of the splined tooth surface, frequent movement of the dial indicator is necessary, easily introducing human error and leading to unstable positioning accuracy. Furthermore, in mass production, existing machining devices for splined tooth surfaces on shaft parts are too time-consuming, severely restricting production efficiency and failing to meet the demands of modern manufacturing for efficient and automated machining. Taking the drive shaft of an automotive transmission system as an example, the milling of its splined tooth surface requires precise horizontal alignment, but existing machining devices for splined tooth surfaces on shaft parts rely on repeated manual calibration, which is complex and has a low tolerance for error. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fast and precise positioning and machining device to simplify the operation process, shorten clamping time, and improve machining consistency, thereby adapting to the actual needs of large-scale production. Summary of the Invention

[0008] According to the above-described rapid positioning machining device for spline tooth surfaces of shaft parts, the cutting component includes a milling cutter and a spindle that drives its rotation and feed motion.

A keyway 14; a positioning slider 3 is connected to a spline gauge 4 with a pin 15 on its side wall via the keyway 14; the pin 15 of the spline gauge 4 is parallel to the keyway 14 for positioning, and can move horizontally within the keyway 14; the vertical side of the contact surface between the keyway 14 and the spline gauge 4 is parallel to the spline tooth surface of the workpiece 300 to be processed; the fitting structure of the spline gauge 4 and the positioning slider 3 ensures that the spline tooth surface of the workpiece 300 to be processed is quickly aligned with the horizontal position.
[0029] The spline gauge 4 has an internal spline at its center that matches the external spline of the workpiece 300 to be processed; the support block 2 achieves vertical position adjustment of the positioning slider 3 through the cooperation of the trapezoidal groove 11 and the longitudinal through hole 12, so as to adapt to the positioning requirements of workpieces 300 with different diameters.
[0030] The clamping component 400 includes a four-axis 16 and a tailstock 17. The four-axis 16 is equipped with a clamp 18, which cooperates with the center 19 on the tailstock 17 to clamp the two ends of the workpiece 300 to be processed after being positioned by the quick positioning component 200.

[0036] The base 1 and the support block 2 are connected by a dovetail groove structure to enhance the overall rigidity.
[0037] The spline gauge 4 has a handle at its end, which makes it easy for the operator to hold and disassemble.
[0038] The specific implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0039] Component assembly
[0040] First, the support block 2 is bolted vertically and fixed to the center of the upper surface of the base 1. The trapezoidal groove 11 and longitudinal through hole 12 of the support block 2 are used to accommodate the positioning slider 3. A trapezoidal positioning key is machined on one side wall of the positioning slider 3 to match the trapezoidal groove 11 of the support block 2. A horizontal keyway 15 is provided on the other side wall of the positioning slider 3. The width of the keyway 15 is of tolerance grade H7 to ensure a precise fit with the pin 15 of the spline gauge 4. The positioning slider 3 is locked in the longitudinal through hole 12 of the support block 2 by M6 stainless steel bolts 13. After loosening the bolts 13, it can slide up and down along the longitudinal groove to meet the clamping requirements of workpieces 300 of different diameters.
[0041] The spline gauge 4 is made of 45# steel and hardened. Its internal spline tooth profile perfectly matches the external spline of the workpiece 300. One end of the spline gauge 4 is equipped with a flat pin 15, the end of which is machined into a tapered guide surface to facilitate quick insertion into the flat keyway 14 of the positioning slider 3. The vertical side of the contact surface between the flat keyway 14 and the spline gauge 4 is parallel to the spline tooth surface of the workpiece 300, ensuring that the spline tooth surface quickly aligns with the horizontal position after the workpiece 300 is inserted. A non-slip handle is provided at the end of the spline gauge 4 for easy application of force by the operator.
[0042] Positioning and processing flow
[0043] Adjusting the height of the positioning slider 3: Based on the diameter of the workpiece 300, loosen the fixing bolts of the positioning slider 3, move it along the longitudinal through hole 12 of the support block 2 to a suitable height, and then lock it. The scale on the side wall of the support block 2 can assist in precise adjustment.
[0044] Install the workpiece 300 to be processed: Insert the outer spline end of the workpiece 300 into the inner spline of the spline gauge 4 to ensure full engagement.
[0045] Positioning and Alignment: Align the flat key of the spline go gauge 4 with the flat keyway 14 of the positioning slider 3, and slowly push it in until the flat keyway 14 and the flat keyway 15 are fully engaged. At this time, the spline tooth surface of the workpiece 300 to be processed is in a horizontal position.
[0046] Fixed machining: The workpiece is fixed to the base 1 using the fixture 18 and the center 19, and milling can be performed by the milling cutter driven by the spindle 21.
[0047] Rubber shock-absorbing pads are attached to the bottom of base 1 to effectively absorb machine tool vibration and prevent positioning deviation.
[0048] The mating surfaces of the support block 2 and the positioning slider 3 are machined with anti-slip texture to prevent the positioning slider 3 from loosening during the machining process.
[0049] The spline surface of the inner spline of the 4-gauge spline is coated with a titanium nitride wear-resistant coating to reduce wear and improve repeatability. Example
[0050] After using this device, the positioning time for a single part is reduced from 15 minutes using the traditional method to 1 minute, the horizontal angle error is controlled within ±0.015°, and operators can master it without complicated training. The device is suitable for shaft parts with diameters from 20mm to 80mm, has strong versatility, and significantly improves the efficiency of mass production.
[0051] Furthermore, this invention can also be used to process the flattened spline surface of shaft parts:
[0052] Place the external spline of the workpiece into the internal spline of the spline gauge 4, and place the flat pin 15 into the flat keyway 14 to achieve workpiece positioning.
[0053] Next, clamp the workpiece with fixture 18, then take out the spline gauge 4 horizontally and tighten it with center 19. In this way, the spline surface of the shaft part can be machined with cutting part 500.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
