The tool motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one end of the tool holder 21, and the drive rod 23 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the tool motor 22. The drive rod 23 passes through the outer wall of the tool holder 21 and extends into the interior of the tool holder 21.

The inner wall of the cutter roller 25 is provided with a limit groove that is slidably connected to the limit block 28. A fixing bolt 29 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 26. The fixing bolt 29 passes through the rotating shaft 26 and is inserted into the positioning rod 27.
[0035] By setting up the cutter motor 22, drive rod 23, drive disc 24, cutter roller 25, rotating shaft 26, positioning rod 27, limit block 28 and fixing bolt 29, the function of convenient and quick positioning and installation of cutter roller 25 is realized, which improves the installation method of cutter roller 25 in the existing technology, making it easy to install cutter roller 25 onto cutter holder 21, saving time and effort, and further improving the practicality of gear hobbing machine on the original basis.
[0036] Working principle: When positioning the positioning cutter head 9, the positioning pin 14 is first inserted into the upper surface of the turntable 13 through the mounting hole. Then, the rotating block 18 is rotated. When the rotating block 18 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 17 to rotate inside the groove 16. Under the action of the limiting rod 19, the two clamping plates 15 move from both ends of the threaded rod 17 to the middle position of the threaded rod 17 along the limiting rod 19. When the arc-shaped inner wall of the two clamping plates 15 reaches the positioning pin 14, the positioning pin 14 is fixed and positioned. Then, the mounting frame 4 is lowered by the lifting device, so that the positioning cutter head 9 is lowered. When the positioning cutter head 9 is inserted into the positioning hole, the stop block 10 abuts against the top of the positioning pin 14, completing the positioning of the positioning cutter head 9.
[0037] After the positioning head 9 is positioned, the mounting bracket 4 and clamping plate 15 return to their original positions. The workpiece is placed on the upper surface of the turntable 13, and the rotating block 18 is rotated to fix and position the workpiece with the clamping plate 15. Then, the mounting bracket 4 is lowered so that the positioning head 9 rests against the top of the workpiece. The drive motor 5 is then started. When the drive motor 5 is running, it drives the mounting sleeve 7 and the positioning head 9 to rotate through the rotating rod 6, thereby causing the workpiece and the turntable 13 to rotate on the upper surface of the chassis 12. Then, the moving device 20 is moved towards the workpiece, and the tilt angle of the tool holder 21 is adjusted by rotation. When the tool holder 21 is tilted to a suitable angle, the tool motor 22 is started. When the tool motor 22 is running, it drives the drive rod 23 and the drive plate 24 to rotate. The drive plate 24 drives the positioning rod 26 and the limit block 28 to rotate, thereby driving the cutter roller 25 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating shaft 26 rotates on the side wall of the tool holder 21. The moving device 20 is continued to move closer to the workpiece. When the blade on the cutter roller 25 contacts the workpiece, the workpiece is processed.
[0038] When replacing the positioning cutter head 9, tighten the mounting bolt 11 so that the mounting bolt 11 extends away from the mounting sleeve 7. After the mounting bolt 11 separates from the rotating rod 6, release the fixing of the mounting sleeve 7, and then pull the mounting sleeve 7 down so that the mounting sleeve 7 slides down on the outer surface of the rotating rod 6. The locking block 8 slides inside the locking groove. After the mounting sleeve 7 separates from the rotating rod 6, the disassembly of the positioning cutter head 9 is completed. Then take out the new positioning cutter head 9 and reverse the above operation to complete the replacement of the positioning cutter head 9.
[0039] When installing the cutter roller 25, first place the cutter roller 25 inside the tool holder 21. Then, insert the positioning rod 26 from the slot of the rotating shaft 27, passing through the rotating shaft 27 and the side wall of the tool holder 21 in sequence, and then insert it into the inside of the cutter roller 25. Finally, slide it into the slot on the drive plate 24, and then tighten the fixing bolt 29 to connect the positioning rod 26 to the rotating shaft 27 to complete the installation. Reverse the above operation to disassemble the cutter roller 25. Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
