[0002] Gear milling is a method of cutting gear blanks using a milling machine to form the required tooth profile. Gear milling uses a form milling cutter mounted on a milling machine that perfectly matches the shape of the tooth groove to be cut, to mill the workpiece. After each gear is milled, the workpiece will rotate a distance of one tooth pitch, and the milling will be repeated until the gear is formed on the entire workpiece.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: existing gear milling devices do not have a chip collection mechanism, and waste material accumulates on the worktable during gear milling, which is inconvenient to clean. At the same time, the accumulated waste material may jam the fixing device and affect the use of the device. Therefore, we propose a gear milling device with a chip collection mechanism.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the gear milling device with chip collection mechanism provided by this utility model includes a base 1. The base 1 is a cuboid made of stainless steel. The main function of the base 1 is to support the entire device and ensure its stable operation.

[0024] Furthermore, a three-jaw chuck 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The three-jaw chuck 2 is mainly composed of a chuck body, three jaws, a small bevel gear, a large bevel gear, etc. The three-jaw chuck 2 is used to fix the gear. The above-mentioned three-jaw chuck 2 is a mature existing technology, and it is believed that those skilled in the art are already very familiar with it, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0025] Furthermore, a milling assembly 3 is provided on one side of the base 1. The milling assembly 3 mainly includes a milling cutter, a spindle, a tool clamping device, a transmission system, etc. These components work together to complete the cutting of the gear. The milling assembly 3 is a mature existing technology, and it is believed that those skilled in the art are already very familiar with it, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Furthermore, a chip collection groove is provided on the base 1, and a chip collection cover 4 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The chip collection cover 4 is located above the chip collection groove. The main function of the chip collection cover 4 is to prevent waste material generated during gear milling from splashing.

[0027] Furthermore, a chip discharge port is provided on the inner wall of the chip collection trough, and a chip discharge pipe 5 is fixedly connected inside the base 1.

A spiral blade 63 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 62.

[0029] Specifically, the waste material generated during gear milling falls into the chip collection groove and is transported to the chip discharge pipe 5 through the chip discharge port on the chip collection groove. At this time, the first motor 61 starts and drives the rotating shaft 62 to rotate. The rotating shaft 62 then drives the spiral blade 63 to rotate, thereby transporting the waste material to the chip collection assembly 7 for collection.

[0030] Furthermore, a chip collection assembly 7 is provided on one side of the chip discharge pipe 5. The chip collection assembly 7 includes a chip collection box 71, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. The chip collection box 71 is located below the chip discharge pipe 5 and is used to collect the waste material transported by the chip discharge pipe 5. A chip outlet is provided at the bottom of the chip collection box 71, and a door 72 is provided at the chip outlet.

[0032] Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the waste material from the chip collection box 71, pull the fixing pin 73 to compress the spring 74 and move it into the fixing groove, thereby causing the fixing pin 73 to disengage from the slot on the box door 72. At this time, the fixing pin 73 no longer fixes the box door 72, and the box door 72 is pulled out along the sliding groove of the base 1, and the waste material in the chip collection box 71 will fall out of the chip collection box 71.

[0033] Furthermore, the chip collection assembly 7 also includes a first hydraulic rod 75, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. A pressure plate 76 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first hydraulic rod 75, and the pressure plate 76 is movably connected inside the chip collection box 71.

[0034] Specifically, the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic rod 75 can drive the pressure plate 76 to move within the chip collection box 71, thereby compressing the waste material within the chip collection box 71 into blocks, reducing its space occupation, and facilitating its handling.

[0035] Furthermore, a support arm 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and a chip blowing assembly 9 is provided on the support arm 8. The chip blowing assembly 9 includes a second hydraulic rod 91, which is fixedly connected to the support arm 8.

[0036] Furthermore, the chip blowing assembly 9 also includes an air compressor 94, which is fixedly connected to the support arm 8. An air pipe 95 is connected to the air compressor 94 and is connected to the air blowing block 92.

[0037] Specifically, after the gear passes through the three-jaw chuck 2, the second hydraulic rod 91 retracts, causing the chip shield 93 to move above the gear and cover it, preventing waste from entering the three-jaw chuck 2 from the gear's center hole and causing the three-jaw chuck 2 to jam. At the same time, the air compressor 94 compresses air and delivers it to the air blowing block 92 through the air pipe 95 to discharge the compressed air, thereby blowing off the waste that falls on the surface of the gear or the chip shield 93, so that all the waste falls into the chip collection groove for collection.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] This utility model is equipped with a chip removal component 6 and a chip collection component 7. The waste generated during gear milling falls into the collection trough and is transported to the chip collection component 7 by the chip removal component 6. After the waste is collected, the first hydraulic rod 75 can extend and retract to drive the pressure plate 76 to move in the chip collection box 71, thereby compressing the waste in the chip collection box 71, so that the waste is compressed into blocks, reducing its space occupation and making it easier to handle.

[0040] This utility model is equipped with a chip blowing component 9. After the gear passes through the three-jaw chuck 2, the second hydraulic rod 91 retracts, causing the chip shield 93 to move above the gear and cover it, preventing waste from entering the three-jaw chuck 2 from the gear center hole and causing the three-jaw chuck 2 to jam. At the same time, the air compressor 94 compresses air and delivers it to the air blowing block 92 through the air pipe 95 to discharge the compressed air, thereby blowing off the waste that falls on the surface of the gear or the chip shield 93, so that all the waste falls into the chip collection groove for collection.

[0041] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
