Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a powder metallurgy gear shaping fixture. Background Technology
[0002] Powder metallurgy is a process technology that uses metal powders (or mixtures of metal and non-metal powders) as raw materials, followed by forming and sintering, to manufacture metallic materials, composite materials, and various types of products. Powder metallurgy shares similarities with ceramic production, both belonging to powder sintering technology; therefore, a range of new powder metallurgy technologies can also be applied to the preparation of ceramic materials. Due to its advantages, powder metallurgy has become a key to solving new materials problems and plays a crucial role in the development of new materials.
[0003] Due to the physical properties of metals, deformation occurs in various dimensions during the sintering process. For dimensions that require precise assembly, this deformation can severely affect the assembly, necessitating secondary processing. For example, in the case of metal gears inside a motor, the gear's shaft hole needs to fit tightly with the shaft. However, the sintered shaft hole often shrinks inward, making it smaller and preventing the shaft from being assembled. Therefore, a secondary enlargement process on a lathe is required. However, this processing method is slow, time-consuming, and affects the production cycle. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A powder metallurgy gear shaping fixture includes a frame body, a CCD device mounted on the frame body, and a shaping fixture that slides on the frame body. It also includes a drive device for moving the shaping fixture.
[0006] The shaping fixture includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold includes a pressure plate and a first driving element that drives the pressure plate to move upward / downward. The lower mold includes a fixture plate and a base plate. Several elastic elements are provided between the base plate and the fixture plate. The fixture plate is used to place gear parts. When the first driving element drives the pressure plate to move downward, the gear parts can be pressed into the fixture plate for shaping.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower mold also includes a slider and several guide posts. The slider is located at the bottom of the base plate, and the base plate is fixedly connected to the frame body through the slider. The guide posts are fixedly connected to the base plate, the fixture plate slides on the guide posts, and the elastic element is sleeved on the guide posts.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixture plate is also provided with a number of equal-height screws, the fixed end of which is connected to the base plate and the movable end is connected to the fixture plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixture plate is provided with a contouring groove that matches the gear part, and a shaping column is provided in the middle of the contouring groove. The shaping column is used to shape the shaft hole of the gear part. The shaping column is fixedly connected to the base plate and slidably connected to the contouring groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the driving device includes a second driving element and a lead screw assembly, the lead screw assembly being fixedly connected to the base plate, and the second driving element driving the base plate to slide on the frame body through the lead screw assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring.
[0012] Furthermore, the first driving element is a cylinder, and the second driving element is a motor.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention requires only manual placement of the gear part into the contour hole. The hydraulic equipment automatically presses down to press the shaping column into the gear shaft hole for dimensional shaping. After the hydraulic process is complete, the spring can reset the fixture plate, pushing the gear out of the contour groove and detaching it from the shaping column. Then, it is moved under the CCD device for dimensional conformity testing. If the dimensions are not up to standard, it can return to the hydraulic part for reshaping. Once the dimensions are correct, it can be removed. This requires very little manual operation, avoiding boring on a lathe and significantly accelerating the production cycle.
[0015] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
