Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of idler wheel machining, and specifically to an idler wheel machining positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] An idler wheel is a wheel in a mechanical transmission system used to transmit power or change the direction of motion, but it does not directly participate in driving or outputting power. It is typically used to adjust the structural layout of the system, reduce the load on transmission components, or ensure the smooth operation of the transmission system. Precise positioning during the machining of the idler wheel ensures accurate relative positioning between the idler wheel and other transmission components, thereby guaranteeing the efficiency and stability of the transmission system.
[0003] When machining an idler wheel, the cutting tool rotates and the cutting motion is achieved by the tool's feed motion. The cutting tool often passes through the end face of the idler wheel during cutting. However, the existing idler wheel positioning is mostly achieved by the chuck positioning the idler wheel in the circumferential direction. This often cannot completely prevent the idler wheel from undergoing slight displacement due to axial vibration during machining. Since the end face is not effectively clamped, the vibration may lead to uneven distribution of cutting force, which in turn affects the surface finish and machining accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.
[0024] First embodiment:
[0025] See Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an idler wheel machining positioning device, including a reference frame 1. The reference frame 1 is cylindrical with a cavity inside. A support plate for auxiliary fixing is provided at the bottom. Three guide frames 2 are provided on the outside of the reference frame 1. The guide frames 2 are distributed circumferentially with the axis of the reference frame 1 as the reference. The length direction of the guide frames 2 extends radially along the reference frame 1. A sliding frame 3 is slidably fitted on the outside of the guide frame 2. A positioning post 4 for the inner hole of the idler wheel to be machined is detachably connected to the top of the sliding frame 3. A driving component 6 is provided inside the reference frame 1 to drive all the sliding frames 3 to slide synchronously. The driving component 6 can drive all the sliding frames 3 to slide synchronously.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the reference frame 1 is equipped with a clamping assembly 5 for clamping the top surface of the idler wheel to be processed;
[0027] When the device is in use, the drive assembly 6 is used to make all the sliding frames 3 slide toward the reference frame 1. When the positioning pin 4 corresponds to the inner hole of the idler wheel, the inner hole of the idler wheel passes through the clamping assembly 5 and all the positioning pins 4. The guide frame 2 supports the idler wheel. The drive assembly 6 drives all the sliding frames 3 to slide away from the reference frame 1 until the positioning ends of the three positioning pins 4 contact the inner wall of the idler wheel, thereby positioning the axis of the idler wheel's inner hole. The clamping assembly 5 is used to clamp the top surface of the idler wheel, thereby fixing the idler wheel as a whole, so as to facilitate the machining of the outer cylindrical tooth surface of the idler wheel.
[0028] After the outer cylindrical tooth surface of the idler wheel is machined, the clamping assembly 5 is released from the top surface of the idler wheel, and the driving assembly 6 is used to make all the sliding frames 3 slide toward the reference frame 1. Then the positioning pin 4 moves away from the inner wall of the idler wheel's inner hole, so that the idler wheel can be removed from the guide frame 2 for unloading.
[0029] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0030] The clamping assembly 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 501 installed inside the reference frame 1. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 501 extends out of the reference frame 1 and is connected to a guide bar 502. The guide bar 502 extends horizontally, and both ends of the guide bar 502 are slidably connected to sliding rods 503. The height of the guide bar 502 can be adjusted by extending or shortening the electric telescopic rod 501. When the idler wheel is installed, the electric telescopic rod 501 is lengthened, so that the guide bar 502 moves away from the reference frame 1, and the sliding rods 503 slide toward the inside of the guide bar 502. The distance between the movable ends of the two sliding rods 503 becomes smaller, so that the inner hole of the idler wheel can pass through the sliding rods 503 to reach the surface of the guide frame 2. After the positioning pin 4 positions the inner hole of the idler wheel, the sliding rod 503 is lengthened, and the electric telescopic rod 501 is shortened. The movable end of the sliding rod 503 is provided with a downwardly extending pressure block. The pressure block at the movable end of the sliding rod 503 is used to clamp the idler wheel, thus completing the overall fixation of the idler wheel with good fixation effect.
[0031] The slide rod 503 has a dovetail-shaped cross section. The slide rod 503 and the guide bar 502 slide together. The dovetail shape is used to achieve the sliding engagement between the slide rod 503 and the guide bar 502, which can guide the slide rod 503. Furthermore, the top surface of the slide rod 503 is provided with scale marks to facilitate observation of the extension distance of the slide rod 503.
[0032] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0033] The guide frame 2 has a trapezoidal cross-section with a small end face at the top. The sliding frame 3 is slidably engaged with the guide frame 2. The bottom of the guide frame 2 is an open structure. The drive assembly 6 includes a threaded rod 604 rotatably connected inside the guide frame 2 and a motor 601 fixedly installed inside the reference frame 1. The threaded rod 604 is threadedly engaged with the sliding frame 3. The inner end of the threaded rod 604 extends into the reference frame 1 and is connected to a driven bevel gear 603. The output end of the motor 601 is connected to a main bevel gear 602 that meshes with all the driven bevel gears 603. When the idler wheel needs to be positioned, the sliding frame 3 drives the positioning pins 4 to move. The three positioning pins 4 support the inner hole of the idler wheel, thus positioning the axis of the inner hole of the idler wheel. When the sliding frame 3 needs to be moved, the motor 601 is energized, which drives the main bevel gear 602 to rotate. The gear meshing enables the three driven bevel gears 603 and the threaded rod 604 to rotate synchronously. Since the sliding frame 3 is slidably set on the outside of the guide frame 2, and the sliding... The sliding frame 3 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 604. As the threaded rod 604 rotates, the sliding frame 3 moves along the length of the guide frame 2, thereby adjusting the position of the sliding frame 3 and the positioning pin 4. The positioning pin 4 presses against the inner wall of the idler wheel's inner hole, thereby positioning the axis of the idler wheel's inner hole. When the motor 601 rotates in the reverse direction, all the sliding frames 3 can move in the reverse direction to loosen the inner hole of the idler wheel and release the idler wheel from its fixation. Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the sliding frame 3 is connected to a movable seat 605 located inside the guide frame 2. The movable seat 605 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 604, thereby achieving the threaded connection between the sliding frame 3 and the threaded rod 604. The movable seat 605 is located inside the sliding frame 3 and the guide frame 2. The guide frame 2 has a trapezoidal structure. When machining the idler wheel, the side wall of the guide frame 2 can be used to guide the machining chips, thereby reducing the adhesion of chips to the threaded rod 604 and protecting the threaded rod 604.
[0034] The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0035] The positioning post 4 is connected to the sliding frame 3 by bolts. The bolt connection between the positioning post 4 and the sliding frame 3 enables the detachable connection of the positioning post 4. Furthermore, the sliding frame 3 is provided with a groove for inserting into the bottom of the positioning post 4. When installing the positioning post 4, the bottom of the positioning post 4 can be inserted into the groove on the sliding frame 3 and then fixed by bolts. The groove can limit the installation direction and position of the positioning post 4.
[0036] In the structure of the positioning post 4, the positioning post 4 is rectangular, and the side away from the axis of the reference frame 1 is provided with an arc surface. The side of the positioning post 4 away from the axis of the reference frame 1 contacts the hole wall of the idler wheel. The arc surface can reduce the scratches on the inner wall of the idler wheel and protect the idler wheel.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
