Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gear grinding machines, and more particularly to a tool setting device for a forming wheel gear grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] CNC gear grinding machines use grinding wheels as abrasives to machine the tooth surfaces of cylindrical gears or certain gear cutting tools. They are primarily used to eliminate deformation after heat treatment and improve gear precision. Improving the tool setting accuracy and efficiency of gear grinding machines is crucial for enhancing gear machining accuracy and efficiency. Automatic tool setting on gear grinding machines allows for adjustments without stopping the machine, offering advantages such as simple operation, high efficiency, and high tool setting accuracy. The main idea behind automatic tool setting is that the CNC system automatically acquires and records the positions of the tooth groove boundaries on both sides of the workpiece, then calculates the accurate midpoint position of the tooth groove, i.e., the starting point of the feed machining. Finally, the servo system issues commands to determine the grinding wheel position. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately acquire the tooth groove boundary position is the key to automatic precision tool setting technology.

[0003] When grinding gears, existing gear grinding machines require selecting the appropriate grinding cutter model based on the gear being ground. After changing to a gear of a different size, the grinding cutter also needs to be replaced. This replacement requires using a screwdriver to disassemble the original grinding cutter and then installing the new matching grinding cutter, which is quite inconvenient. In addition, when setting the cutting tool, existing gear grinding machines require height adjustment after installing gears of different thicknesses to ensure that the grinding cutter is located in the middle of the gear.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a tool setting device for a forming wheel gear grinding machine, including a base 1. A slide rod 3 is movably installed in the center of the base 1. A first servo motor 13 is fixed to the top of the base 1 via a connecting rod. A rotating shaft 14 is fixed to the power output end of the first servo motor 13. A second servo motor 15 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 14. A fixed grinding cutter 21 is fixed in the middle of the rotating shaft 14. A second threaded rod 18 is fixed to the power output end of the second servo motor 15. The second threaded rod 18 is located inside the rotating shaft 14 and performs gear grinding by rotating the first servo motor 13. A threaded sleeve 19 is slidably connected inside the moving shaft 14. The threaded sleeve 19 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 18. A second slider 20 is fixed to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 19. A movable grinding cutter 22 is fixed to the top of the second slider 20. The position of the movable grinding cutter 22 is adjusted by rotating the second servo motor 15. A support rod 4 is fixed to the top of the slide rod 3. A connecting plate 7 is fixed to the top of the support rod 4. By placing the gear to be processed in the middle of the connecting plate 7 and then pressing and limiting it, the slide rod 3 drives the connecting plate 7 and the limited gear to move towards the fixed grinding cutter 21.

[0029] Reference Appendix Figure 3 and 4 The device includes two threaded sleeves 19, two second sliders 20, and two movable grinding cutters 22. The thread directions of the two threaded sleeves 19 are opposite, and the distance between the two movable grinding cutters 22 and the fixed grinding cutter 21 is the same. The threaded rod 18 is rotated by the second servo motor 15, which causes the two threaded sleeves 19 to move in opposite directions inside the rotating shaft 14, thereby changing the position of the two movable grinding cutters 22.

[0030] Reference Appendix Figure 3 and 4The top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14 is provided with a second slide groove 16. The second slider 20 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 16. The second slider 20 slides inside the second slide groove 16 without affecting the movement of the threaded sleeve block 19. At the same time, the second slider 20 and the second slide groove 16 cooperate to prevent the threaded sleeve block 19 from rotating together with the threaded rod 18.

[0031] Reference Appendix Figure 3 The rotating shaft 14 has a scale groove 17 on its top. Multiple scale grooves 17 are arranged horizontally at equal intervals. The scale grooves 17 are used to determine the distance between the moving grinding cutter 22 and the fixed grinding cutter 21, so that the distance is adapted to the gear spacing to be ground.

[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 1 The middle part of the connecting plate 7 is on the same horizontal plane as the middle part of the rotating shaft 14, and a guide rail 8 is fixed on the middle part of the connecting plate 7 near the rotating shaft 14. The two ends of the inner wall of the guide rail 8 are slidably connected to the first slider 9, so that the first slider 9 can slide up and down inside the guide rail 8 to squeeze and limit the gear to be processed, and at the same time, make the middle part of the gear after being limited aligned with the middle part of the rotating shaft 14.

[0033] Reference Appendix Figure 2 The support rod 4 has a micro servo motor 5 fixed in the middle. The power output end of the micro servo motor 5 is fixed with a first threaded rod 6. The first threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to two first sliders 9, and the threads of the two first sliders 9 are opposite. A connecting block 10 is fixed on one side of each of the two first sliders 9. A pressing block 11 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of each of the two connecting blocks 10. The pressing block 11 is set in the shape of a frustum. When fixing the gear, the gear is placed on the pressing block 11 at the bottom, and then the micro servo motor 5 is controlled to rotate, which drives the first threaded rod 6 to rotate, so that the two first sliders 9 move closer to the middle at the same time.

[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 1 The base 1 has a first groove 2 in the middle, the slide rod 3 is slidably connected to the first groove 2, and the inner wall of the base 1 is provided with a drive mechanism to drive the slide rod 3 to slide inside the first groove 2. After the gear is limited, the drive mechanism drives the slide rod 3 to slide inside the first groove 2, moving the limited gear to the side of the fixed grinding cutter 21.

[0035] The implementation principle of the tool setting device for a forming wheel gear grinding machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: First, the gear is placed on the bottom extrusion block 11. Then, the micro servo motor 5 is controlled to rotate, driving the first threaded rod 6 to rotate, so that the two first sliders 9 move towards the center at the same time, limiting the gear and aligning the center of the gear with the center of the rotating shaft 14, thus completing the tool setting. Subsequently, the position of the grinding cutter 22 is moved according to the gear model and gear conditions. The second servo motor 15 drives the threaded rod 18 to rotate, causing the two threaded sleeves 19 to move in opposite directions inside the rotating shaft 14, thereby driving the two moving grinding cutters 22. The position is changed, and the second slider 20 slides inside the second slide groove 16 without affecting the movement of the threaded sleeve block 19. At the same time, the second slider 20 and the second slide groove 16 cooperate to prevent the threaded sleeve block 19 from rotating together with the threaded rod 18. The distance between the moving grinding cutter 22 and the fixed grinding cutter 21 is determined by the scale groove 17 so that the distance is adapted to the gear spacing to be ground. Finally, the hydraulic rod drives the slide bar 3 to slide inside the first slide groove 2, moving the gear that has been limited to the side of the fixed grinding cutter 21. At the same time, the first servo motor 13 is started, driving the rotating shaft 14, the fixed grinding cutter 21 and the moving grinding cutter 22 to rotate for grinding.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
