Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear shaping machine technology, and in particular to a gear shaping machine for sprocket production. Background Technology
[0002] A sprocket is a wheel with interlocking teeth for meshing with precisely pitched blocks on a chain link or cable. Sprockets are widely used in mechanical transmissions in industries such as chemical engineering, textile machinery, escalators, wood processing, automated parking systems, agricultural machinery, food processing, instrumentation, and petroleum.
[0003] A gear shaper is a metal cutting machine tool that uses a gear shaper cutter to process internal and external spur and helical cylindrical gears and other gear parts using the generating method. Existing gear shaper machines are mainly composed of a fixed part, a gear shaper cutter, and a cooling system. The fixed part fixes the workpiece, and the gear shaper cutter moves up and down to process the workpiece.
[0004] Existing gear shaper machines have the following technical problems in the process of machining sprockets:
[0005] 1. Existing gear shaper machines generally use manual feeding, manual clamping, and manual unloading for sprocket processing. Each gear shaper machine requires one operator, which requires a large amount of human resources. In addition, manual feeding, clamping, and loading are extremely inefficient.
[0006] 2. During manual clamping operations, clamping and positioning rely entirely on workers. The high labor intensity of this single operation can easily lead to fatigue, resulting in problems such as insecure clamping and inaccurate positioning.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gear shaping machine for sprocket production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a vacuum suction hole, which is connected to a vacuum pump through a pipe, and the vacuum pump is installed on the top of the mounting plate.
[0013] Preferably, the other side of the fixing plate is connected to the guide rail via a slider, and the guide rail is installed on the other inner side of the fixing groove.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a gear shaping machine for sprocket production, comprising: a processing table 1, the top of the processing table 1 having a plurality of fixing holes 9, the fixing holes 9 being slidably connected to a fixing plate 10, one side of the fixing plate 10 being connected to a fixing slide rail 14 via a slider, the fixing slide rail 14 being installed on one inner side of the fixing holes 9, a gear shaping cutter 2 being provided above the fixing holes 9, the top of the gear shaping cutter 2 being connected to the telescopic end of a processing cylinder 3, the fixed end of the processing cylinder 3 being connected to the bottom of a moving block, the top of the moving block being connected to a displacement mechanism 4 capable of driving the moving block to perform planar movement, the displacement mechanism 4 being connected to the top of the processing table 1 via a connecting frame 5;
[0027] A movable slide rail 6 is installed on the top of the connecting frame 5 on one side of the displacement mechanism 4. The movable slide rail 6 is slidably connected to the movable plate through a slider. The fixed end of the material transfer cylinder 7 is installed at the bottom of the movable plate. The telescopic end of the material transfer cylinder 7 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 8. The bottom of the mounting plate 8 is provided with a clamping groove 20. A clamping slide rail 21 is installed inside the clamping groove 20. The clamping slide rail 21 is connected to the clamping plate 22 through a slider.
[0028] It should be noted that during use, an existing placement platform can be placed on one side of the processing table 1 to place the blank to be processed and the processed sprocket, and the blank can be placed under the moving slide rail 6.
[0029] During loading, multiple annular blanks to be processed can be placed vertically in a row on the corresponding placement platform. The transfer cylinder 7 is moved to the top of the blank by the moving slide rail 6. Then, the mounting plate 8 is moved downward by the transfer cylinder 7, and the clamping plate 22 under the mounting plate 8 is inserted into the inside of the blank. Multiple clamping slide rails 21 are controlled by a single controller, which can realize the synchronous opening and closing of multiple clamping slide rails 21. By driving the clamping slide rails 21, multiple clamping plates 22 are moved synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the blank. The blank is fixed by the outward expansion of multiple clamping plates 22. Finally, the blank is moved from the placement platform to the worktable by the transfer cylinder 7 and the moving slide rail 6, and the fixing plate 10 is located inside the blank.
[0030] During clamping, the fixed slide rail 14 drives multiple fixed plates 10 to move synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the blank. Through the outward expansion of multiple clamping plates 22, the blank is fixed and the clamping operation of the blank is completed.
[0031] During unloading, the fixed slide rail 14 drives the fixed plate 10 to return to its original position. Driven by the movable slide rail 6 and the transfer cylinder 7, the clamping plate 22 is positioned inside the processed sprocket. Driven by the clamping slide rail 21, multiple clamping plates 22 are moved synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the sprocket. The sprocket is fixed by the outward expansion of multiple clamping plates 22. Then, driven by the movable slide rail 6 and the transfer cylinder 7, the fixed sprocket is moved from the worktable to the placement table, thus unloading the sprocket.
[0032] By using the sliding rail 6, the material transfer cylinder 7, and the clamping plate 22, the raw materials and finished products of the sprocket are automatically loaded and unloaded. By setting a fixed plate 10 that can move through the fixed sliding rail 14, the raw materials of the sprocket are automatically clamped, which effectively improves the loading, unloading and clamping efficiency. During the clamping process, the movable fixed plate 10 realizes automatic clamping, thereby improving the clamping accuracy and stability.

[0034] It should be noted that: by setting the horizontal slide rail 17, the vertical slide rail 18 can move left and right; by setting the vertical slide rail 18, the moving block can move forward and backward; and through the action of the horizontal slide rail 17, the moving block can finally move in a plane.
[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the mounting plate 8 is provided with a vacuum suction hole 23, which is connected to a vacuum pump 16 through a pipe. The vacuum pump 16 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 8.
[0036] It should be noted that by setting the vacuum suction hole 23, the top of the blank to be processed can be in contact with the vacuum suction hole 23, and an upward force can be applied to the blank using atmospheric pressure, thereby improving the stability of the blank when it is fixed by the clamping plate 22.
[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the other side of the fixing plate 10 is connected to the guide rail 12 via a slider, and the guide rail 12 is installed on the other inner side of the fixing groove.
[0038] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the guide rail 12 and the fixed slide rail 14 are respectively installed in the first placement groove 11 and the second placement groove 13, and the first placement groove 11 and the second placement groove 13 are respectively opened on the two inner sides of the fixed groove.
[0039] It should be noted that by setting the guide rail 12 to cooperate with the fixed slide rail 14, the fixed plate 10 is subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the stability of the fixed plate 10 when moving back and forth. The first placement groove 11 and the second placement groove 13 can protect the guide rail 12 and the fixed slide rail 14, preventing waste generated during the processing from entering the fixed slide rail 14 and causing damage to the fixed slide rail 14.
[0040] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the top of the processing table 1 outside the fixing hole 9 is provided with multiple recycling holes 15.
[0041] It should be noted that by setting up the recycling hole 15, the waste generated during processing can be easily discharged from the workbench through the recycling hole 15, thereby improving the cleanliness of the workbench.

[0043] It should be noted that by setting up the recycling box 19, waste can be collected and prevented from falling onto the ground and causing environmental pollution.
[0044] The working principle of the gear shaping machine for sprocket production provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0045] During loading, the clamping slide rail 21 drives multiple clamping plates 22 to move synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the blank. The blank is fixed by the outward expansion of multiple clamping plates 22. Finally, the blank is moved from the placement table to the worktable by the material transfer cylinder 7 and the moving slide rail 6, and the fixing plate 10 is located inside the blank.
[0046] During clamping, the fixed slide rail 14 drives multiple fixed plates 10 to move synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the blank. Through the outward expansion of multiple clamping plates 22, the blank is fixed and the clamping operation of the blank is completed.
[0047] During unloading, the clamping slide rail 21 drives multiple clamping plates 22 to move synchronously until all clamping plates 22 contact the inner side of the sprocket. The sprocket is fixed by the outward expansion of the multiple clamping plates 22. Then, the fixed sprocket is moved from the worktable to the placement table by the drive of the moving slide rail 6 and the material transfer cylinder 7, thus unloading the sprocket.
