[0015] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a fixing device for gear shaft machining includes: a housing 1, with positioning plates 2 fixedly installed at both ends of the housing 1; two sets of symmetrical clamping assemblies are provided inside the housing 1; each clamping assembly includes an inner conical sleeve 3, an elastic sleeve 4, a worm gear 5, a worm 6, and friction washers 7; the inner conical sleeve 3 is fixedly installed at the opening of the housing 1; the elastic sleeve 4 abuts against the inner side of the inner conical sleeve 3; the outer surface of the inner end of the elastic sleeve 4 is provided with external threads; the worm 6 rotatably passes through the inner side of the housing 1; the worm 6 meshes with the worm gear 5; the inner side of the worm gear 5 is provided with internal threads; the worm gear 5 is respectively sleeved on the inner ends of the two elastic sleeves 4; the threads on the inner side of the worm gear 5 are screwed to the threads on the outer side of the inner ends of the elastic sleeves 4; and friction washers 7 are provided between the top and bottom of the worm gear 5 and the inner wall of the housing 1. When the part is inserted into the device, the worm 6 rotates, which drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate. The threaded engagement causes the elastic sleeve 4 to move inward into the device. The inner cone sleeve 3 squeezes the elastic sleeve 4 to clamp the part. After processing, the worm 6 rotates in reverse, which drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate in reverse, which drives the elastic sleeve 4 to move outward to release the part.

[0018] The clamping assembly also includes a servo motor 8, which is fixedly mounted on the housing 1. The output end of the servo motor 8 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 6 via a coupling. The servo motor 8 drives the worm gear 6 to rotate.

[0019] The outer shell 1 has a machining hole 9, and the elastic sleeve 4 has a limiting hole 10. A set screw 11 is fixedly installed in the inner conical sleeve 3, and the top of the set screw 11 is engaged in the limiting hole 10. A plug 11 is provided on the outside of the machining hole 9. The set screw 12 is used to lock the limiting hole 10 to prevent the elastic sleeve 4 from rotating, so that the elastic sleeve 4 can only move up and down.

[0020] The outer casing 1 is equipped with a spring 13, the two ends of which abut against the two sets of elastic sleeves 4 located inside the device. The spring 13 assists in the reset of the elastic sleeves 4.

[0021] The friction washer 7 is made of hardened steel. As a vulnerable part, the friction washer 7 uses a material with high wear resistance and hardness, which is generally high-carbon steel or high-alloy steel.

[0022] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Insert the part into the device, and simultaneously turn on the two servo motors 8. The servo motors 8 drive the worm gear 6 to rotate, and the worm gear 6 drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate. The threaded engagement drives the elastic sleeve 4 to move inward to the inside of the device. The inner cone sleeve 3 squeezes the elastic sleeve 4 to clamp the part, thereby achieving centering and clamping of the part. After processing, the worm gear 6 rotates in reverse, which drives the worm wheel 5 to rotate in reverse, and drives the elastic sleeve 4 to move outward to release the part.

[0023] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or direct application to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
