[0018] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown:

[0021] To improve the positioning accuracy of the punch eye, this utility model provides a punch for a splined shaft, including a fixed structure 1, a driving device 2, a punch structure, a guide rod 4, and a guide cylinder 5, wherein: the fixed structure 1 and the driving device 2 are arranged opposite each other and their relative positions are fixed; the driving device 2 has a retractable driving end, which is connected to the punch structure; the fixed structure 1 is used to fix the splined shaft 6; the driving device 2 is used to drive the punch structure to move toward the fixed structure 1, so that the punch structure impacts the splined shaft 6 and punches the hole; the guide rod 4 is installed on the punch structure; the guide cylinder 5 is installed on the fixed structure 1, and a guide hole 51 is opened on the side of the guide cylinder 5 facing the guide rod 4; the guide rod 4 and the guide cylinder 5 are arranged opposite each other, and the guide rod 4 can be inserted into the guide hole 51 accordingly, and the guide rod 4 and the guide hole 51 are coaxially arranged; the axial direction of the guide rod 4 is in the same direction as the movement direction of the punch structure; when the punch structure contacts the splined shaft 6, the guide rod 4 is inserted into the guide hole 51.

[0022] The fixing structure 1 and the driving device 2 can be fixed on a base plate, with the spline shaft 6 placed inside the fixing structure 1. The fixing structure 1 can limit the spline shaft 6 only in the punching direction, or it can be equipped with clamps to completely fix the spline shaft 6. The guide rod 4 moves with the punch structure. Therefore, as the punch structure moves, the guide rod 4 inserts into or moves within the guide hole 51. Through the limiting effect of the guide hole 51 and the guide rod 4, the punch structure can always move along a predetermined axial direction. The guide rod 4 can be inserted into the guide hole 51 throughout its entire movement, or it can be inserted into the guide hole 51 during the punching process when the punch structure contacts the spline shaft 6. If the guide rod 4 is inserted into the guide hole 51 throughout its entire movement, the punch structure is guided by the guide rod 4 throughout the entire movement. If the guide rod 4 is not inserted into the guide hole 51 throughout its entire movement, the guide rod 4 is initially outside the guide hole 51. As the punch structure approaches the spline shaft 6, the guide rod 4 also moves toward the guide hole 51. Before the punch structure contacts the splined shaft 6, the guide rod 4 must first enter the guide hole 51 to provide limiting guidance for the punch structure. The difference between the outer diameter of the guide rod 4 and the inner diameter of the guide hole 51 should be less than 0.1 mm to ensure the movement accuracy of the punch structure.

[0023] This utility model provides a punch for a spline shaft. Guide cylinders 5 and guide rods 4 are respectively provided on the fixed structure 1 and the punch structure. When the punch structure moves toward the spline shaft 6 on the fixed structure 1, the guide rod 4 is inserted into the guide cylinder 5 to limit the movement direction of the punch structure, effectively improving the positional accuracy of the punch.

[0024] To achieve the installation and fixation of the punch structure and the fixed structure 1, in a preferred embodiment, the punch structure includes a punch rod 3 and a mounting block 31. The mounting block 31 is mounted on the drive end of the drive device 2; the punch rod 3 is mounted on the side of the mounting block 31 facing the fixed structure 1; the punch end of the punch rod 3 corresponds to the punching position of the spline shaft 6. The drive device 2 is preferably a cylinder, which fixes the mounting block 31 on the telescopic end of the cylinder, and then fixes the punch rod 3 to the mounting block 31. Before punching, position adjustment is required to ensure that the top of the punch rod 3 is aligned with the designated punching position of the spline shaft 6.

[0025] To ensure that the guide rod 4 moves synchronously and in the same direction as the punch rod 3, in a preferred embodiment, the mounting block 31 is provided with a mounting plate 32. The mounting plate 32 is mounted on one side of the mounting block 31 in the horizontal direction; one end of the guide rod 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 32. The guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 are arranged in the same direction, and the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 are connected together by the mounting plate 32 and the mounting block 31, so that the guide rod 4 can move synchronously and in the same direction as the punch rod 3. With the above structure, it can be ensured that the movement direction of the punch rod 3 is consistent with that of the guide rod 4. By limiting the guide rod 4, the punch rod 3 can be guided, so that the punch rod 3 is accurately aligned with the designated punching position.

[0026] This utility model provides a center punch for a spline shaft. By fixing the guide rod 4 to the punch rod 3 and then guiding the guide rod 4, the punch rod 3 can be accurately aligned with the designated punch position.

[0027] To ensure the coaxiality of the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 before punching, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the punching, in a preferred embodiment, the punch structure further includes a self-checking structure. The self-checking structure includes a first detection ring 33, a second detection ring 34, and a connecting piece 35. The first detection ring 33 is fitted onto the axial side of the punch rod 3; the second detection ring 34 is fitted onto the axial side of the guide rod 4; and the connecting piece 35 securely connects the first detection ring 33 and the second detection ring 34. During self-checking, moving the connecting piece 35 causes the first detection ring 33 and the second detection ring 34 to move along the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3, respectively. If the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 deform, resulting in axial misalignment, a damping effect will occur, specifically manifested as the first detection ring 33 or the second detection ring 34 not moving smoothly on the guide rod 4 or the punch rod 3. At this point, it can be determined that the axial misalignment of the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 is in place, and punching needs to be stopped and adjusted.

[0028] This invention provides a punch for a spline shaft. By setting a self-checking structure, it can detect whether the axial direction of the guide rod 4 and the punch rod 3 is consistent, so as to ensure the accuracy of punching the hole in the punch rod 3.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the fixing structure 1 is provided with a fixing groove 11, and the side of the fixing groove 11 facing the punch structure is set as a slot; the spline shaft 6 is placed in the fixing groove 11, and the end of the spline shaft 6 that needs to be punched extends outward through the slot and is aligned with the punch structure.

[0030] Because the punch 3 vibrates when it impacts the spline shaft 6, this vibration may cause the device to deform. To reduce the negative impact of vibration, in a preferred embodiment, the guide cylinder 5 is a sleeve structure; the guide cylinder 5 and the guide rod 4 are coaxially corresponding; the guide hole 51 is opened along the axial direction of the guide cylinder 5; a spring 52 is provided inside the guide hole 51 along the axial direction; one end of the spring 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide hole 51; the other end of the spring 52 corresponds to the guide rod 4.

[0031] Once the guide rod 4 enters the guide hole 51, it will be continuously subjected to the elastic force of the spring 52. The deeper the guide rod 4 enters the guide hole 51, the greater the elastic force. The buffering elastic effect of the spring 52 on the guide rod 4 can be simultaneously applied to the punch rod 3, thereby reducing the vibration force fed back to the punch rod 3 due to the impact, so as to avoid structural deformation and inaccuracy.

[0032] This utility model provides a punch for a spline shaft. By setting a spring 52 in the guide hole 51, the buffering elastic effect generated on the guide rod 4 can be simultaneously applied to the punch rod 3, thereby reducing the vibration force fed back to the punch rod 3 due to the impact, so as to avoid structural deformation and inaccuracy.

[0033] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the application filed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not claimed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this application are indicated by the appended claims.

[0034] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
