Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of internal helical gear shaping technology, and more specifically, it relates to a clamping fixture for internal helical gear shaping. Background Technology

[0002] Internal helical gear shaping is achieved through the generating motion of the gear shaper cutter and the workpiece, along with the reciprocating cutting motion of the cutter. During shaping, the cutter performs a reciprocating cutting motion while simultaneously rolling relative to the workpiece, machining the entire tooth profile on the workpiece. In each reciprocating stroke, the cutter cuts only a small portion of the workpiece's tooth groove; the tooth surface curve is formed by the envelope of multiple cuts made by the cutting edge of the gear shaper cutter.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: When machining helical gears, the helical gear is usually placed in a groove, and then the gear shaper moves up and down to cut the inside of the helical gear. However, during the cutting process, the helical gear will be displaced under the action of the gear shaper, which can easily cause the tooth surface contact line of the gear to deviate, resulting in tooth profile error and affecting the subsequent transmission of the helical gear.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a clamping tool for machining internal helical gears, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a clamping fixture for machining internal helical gears, thereby addressing the issues in the background art.

[0006] The purpose and effect of this utility model of a clamping fixture for machining internal helical gears are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0007] A clamping fixture for machining internal helical gears includes a worktable, a clamping mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism. A pair of linear guides are mounted on one side of the top of the worktable, and a conveying plate is slidably mounted between the linear guides. The clamping mechanism includes several clamping rods, and a fixing plate is mounted at the center of the top of the conveying plate. A first placement ring is provided on the top of the fixing plate, and several connecting blocks are mounted on the top of the first placement ring. A second placement ring is mounted on the top of the connecting blocks, and several inserts are hinged between the first and second placement rings. Several clamping rods are located inside the inserts, and one end of each clamping rod is provided with a clamping block. The cleaning mechanism includes a pair of water pipes, and a support rod is mounted on the top of the worktable on the side away from the linear guides. A horizontal plate is mounted on one side of the top of the support rod, and a water tank is mounted on the outer side of the worktable. Mounting blocks are mounted on both outer sides of the horizontal plate, and a pair of water pipes are connected to the top of the water tank via a first pump on both sides. One end of each pair of water pipes passes through a mounting block and is fitted with a nozzle.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the conveyor plate is equipped with several protective plates around the fixed plate, and all of the protective plates are arc-shaped. A second cylinder is installed on one side of the top of the fixed plate, and a hinge seat is installed at the output end of the second cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a connector is installed on the outside of the first placement ring on the side near the hinge seat, and the connector is hinged to the hinge seat. One end of the clamping rod is hinged to the fixing plate, and an insert rod is inserted at the center of the clamping rod. The two ends of the insert rod pass through the insert block and are respectively hinged to the first placement ring and the second placement ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveyor plate is provided with a first mounting groove inside, and a first filter plate is installed inside the first mounting groove. The first placement ring and the second placement ring are both provided with placement grooves inside.

[0011] Furthermore, a first cylinder is installed on the top side of the horizontal plate, and the output end of the first cylinder passes through the horizontal plate and is connected to a mounting bracket. A motor is installed at the center of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the motor passes through the mounting bracket and is connected to a toothed head.

[0012] Furthermore, a pair of nozzles are located on both sides of the toothed head, and a second mounting groove is provided on the top of the worktable directly below the toothed head. Baffles are installed on both sides of the interior of the second mounting groove, and a second filter plate is installed inside the second mounting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the workbench has a groove inside, and the groove has a water collection tank inside. The water collection tank and the second mounting groove are connected to each other, and the bottom end of the water collection tank is connected to a water collection pipe. A second pump is installed on one side of the groove, and the water collection pipe is connected to the second pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This type of clamping fixture for internal helical gear shaping, through the coordinated use of a first filter plate, a protective plate, a fixed plate, a first placement ring, a second placement ring, a insert block, a clamping rod, a clamping ring, a second cylinder, and a hinge seat, allows the gear to be placed in the placement groove during gear machining. Then, the second cylinder is activated to extend or retract, which, in conjunction with the hinge seat, drives the first placement ring to rotate. When the first placement ring rotates, it changes the angle of the clamping rod and the insert block, causing several clamping rods and clamping blocks to move closer or further apart. When the clamping ring is in contact with the outside of the workpiece, it clamps the workpiece, facilitating the cutting head to cut the inside of the gear.

[0016] 2. This type of clamping fixture for internal helical gear shaping utilizes a water tank, water pipe, mounting block, nozzle, baffle, second filter plate, groove, water collection tank, and water collection pipe in conjunction with each other. During gear cutting, a large amount of heat is generated between the gear shaping head and the gear. The first pump is activated, delivering liquid from the water tank to the nozzle to cool the gear and cutting tool. During the water spraying process, debris generated during cutting is also dissipated. Water and impurities flow through the first and second filter plates into the water collection tank. The second pump and water collection pipe then discharge wastewater outside the equipment. Several protective plates and a baffle further facilitate the flow of water and debris into the water collection tank, improving the cleanliness of the worktable. This invention features a simple and reasonable structure, novel design, and easy and convenient operation. It effectively clamps and fixes the workpiece gear, facilitating better internal gear cutting and improving production accuracy, thus possessing high practical value. Attached Figure Description

One end of each pair of water pipes 3002 passes through the mounting block 3003 and is equipped with a nozzle 3004.

[0027] The top of the conveyor plate 1003 is equipped with several guard plates 2002 around the fixed plate 2003, and the guard plates 2002 are all arc-shaped. A second cylinder 2010 is installed on one side of the top of the fixed plate 2003, and a hinge seat 2011 is installed at the output end of the second cylinder 2010. By installing the second cylinder 2010, the first placement ring 2004 can be rotated to adjust the angle of the clamping rod 2008.

[0028] The first placement ring 2004 has a connector installed on the side near the hinge seat 2011, and the connector is hinged to the hinge seat 2011. One end of the clamping rod 2008 is hinged to the fixing plate 2003, and a plug is inserted at the center of the clamping rod 2008.
