Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tooling and fixtures, specifically relating to a tooling and fixture for machining the convex key of a spline shell. Background Technology

[0002] The spline housing is an important connecting component. The central hole of the spline housing needs to be filled with liquid. The outside of the spline housing has raised splines with unequal spacing angles between them. In the existing technology, indexing heads are often used for indexing milling. However, in the actual production process, because the spacing angle of each spline is different, operators are very prone to making mistakes during operation, resulting in scrap.

[0003] After improvements, splines are now generally machined using machining centers. However, the outer shell of the spline is relatively thin, making clamping difficult. During the machining process, the spline shell is prone to rotation, affecting the dimensional and positional tolerances. There is an urgent need for a method to solve this problem.

[0004] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a tooling fixture for machining the convex key of a spline shell.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tooling fixture for machining the convex key of a spline housing, comprising a spline housing, a fixture body, a stop block, a bolt, and a chuck. The spline housing has a first stepped shaft at its left end and a spline shaft at its right end. A center hole is located in the center of the spline housing, with a stop plate in the middle of the center hole and a positioning hole at the center of the stop plate. One end of the fixture body has an mounting shaft mounted on the chuck; the other end of the fixture body has a positioning shaft with a threaded hole at its center and a boss on its end face, which matches the positioning hole of the spline housing. The stop block is a circular truncated cone with a stepped hole on its large end face. The first stepped shaft of the spline housing is sleeved on the positioning shaft of the fixture body, and the boss of the spline housing is inserted into the positioning hole. The stop block is installed in the center hole at the end of the spline shaft, with its outer wall contacting the positioning inclined surface of the spline housing. The bolt passes through the stepped hole and is installed in the threaded hole of the positioning shaft.

[0006] The central hole at the end of the first step shaft is adapted to the outer diameter of the positioning shaft.

[0007] The outer diameter of the large end of the stop block is not greater than the bottom diameter at the spline shaft; the outer diameter of the small end of the stop block is smaller than the diameter of the central hole.

[0008] The angle of inclination of the outer wall of the stop is the same as the angle of the positioning slope.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a tooling fixture for machining the convex key of a spline shell. The fixture has a simple structure, convenient positioning, and fast clamping. It can effectively prevent the spline shell from rotating during machining and is particularly suitable for the mass production of spline shells. Attached Figure Description
