Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0022] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0023] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an elliptical arc toothed cylindrical gear roller-type machining device, including a main body assembly. The main body assembly includes a shell, and a cutter head sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shell. A machining component is connected to the shell, and the machining component includes a connecting cutter head rotatably connected to the cutter head sleeve. A power transmission shaft is connected to the center of the connecting cutter head, and a mounting tool holder connected to a machine tool is fixedly connected to the upper end of the power transmission shaft. Two sets of height-adjustable tool connecting units are respectively connected to the connecting cutter heads outside both ends of the power transmission shaft. Each tool connecting unit includes an upper push rod slidably connected to the cutter head, and an intermediate connecting seat is fixedly connected below the upper push rod. A blade mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower side of the base, and a tool holder is fixedly connected to the blade mounting base. A cutting blade for cutting the gear blank is fixedly connected to the lower end of the tool holder. A height adjustment component for adjusting the axial position of the cutting blade is provided on the connecting cutter head. The height adjustment component includes a limiting plate located above the machining component and rotatably connected to the housing. A push rod sleeve is sleeved on the upper push rod. A hemispherical friction head is provided on the upper side of the push rod sleeve below the limiting plate. The friction head and the top of the push rod sleeve are both fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper push rod. A rigid spring is sleeved on the upper push rod and connected between the upper side of the connecting cutter head and the lower side of the top of the push rod sleeve. The rigid spring is in a compressed state, and the limiting plate is always in contact with the friction head.
[0024] The tool holder is connected to the spindle of an external machine tool via a pull stud and the tapered surface of the tool holder's outer edge. The spindle of the external machine tool provides rotational power to the power transmission shaft. A connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower side of the housing. Several countersunk holes are arranged on the lower side of the housing. Several intermediate fixing holes corresponding to the countersunk holes are arranged on the connecting sleeve. The tool disc sleeve includes a horizontal connecting ring. A support ring is fixed to the upper side of the horizontal connecting ring. The support ring is inserted into the inner side of the connecting sleeve. The upper side of the horizontal connecting ring abuts against the lower side of the connecting sleeve. The connecting tool disc is rotatably connected to the support ring. Several lower fixing holes corresponding to the intermediate fixing holes are arranged on the horizontal connecting ring. After inserting fixing screws into the lower fixing holes, screwing them into the intermediate fixing holes and the countersunk holes, the bottom of the fixing screws is pressed against the lower side of the horizontal connecting ring, fixing the housing, connecting sleeve and tool disc sleeve together, improving the reliability of the connection structure between the tool disc sleeve and the housing. The two cutting inserts are an internal cutting tool and an external cutting tool. The internal cutting tool is used for machining the convex tooth surface of the tooth profile, and the external cutting tool is used for machining the concave tooth surface (this is prior art, and only a schematic diagram is given in this application, but it does not affect the understanding of this description in this technical field). Before machining, the extension length of the two cutting inserts is adjusted according to the tooth root depth of the cylindrical gear to be machined. Specifically, the limiting plate is rotated, one end of the limiting plate swings downward, and the other end of the limiting plate swings upward. The downward swinging end of the limiting plate moves downward against the upper push rod through the corresponding friction head and push rod sleeve. The push rod sleeve at the end of the upward swinging limiting plate moves upward under the action of a rigid spring. The push rod sleeve drives the corresponding cutting disc to move upward through the upper push rod. When the two cutting inserts move to the appropriate position, the limiting plate stops rotating. Through the above operation, the initial axial extension length of the two cutting inserts beyond the connecting disc is changed, thereby adjusting the tooth root depth of the corresponding tooth surface, realizing the shaping of the tooth root transition curve at the bottom of the tooth groove, and optimizing the stress distribution at the tooth root according to the design load. This utility model has a simple structure, and all components in the processing assembly can be detachably connected inside the outer shell, making maintenance convenient; it can be applied to auxiliary processing operations of cylindrical gears with circular arc tooth lines.
[0025] Specifically, the outer diameter of the connecting cutter head gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the center of the cutter head sleeve has a rotating hole that mates with the connecting cutter head. The connecting cutter head and the cutter head sleeve are fitted with a clearance through the rotating hole.
[0026] By setting up the above structure, the downward movement of the connecting cutter head is restricted, thereby improving the reliability of the connecting cutter head rotation after the power transmission shaft is connected to the machine tool.
[0027] Specifically, the lower outer periphery of the power transmission shaft is provided with several connecting keys, and the connecting cutter head is provided with several connecting grooves that correspond one-to-one with the connecting keys. A washer is fitted onto the power transmission shaft on the lower side of the connecting cutter head, and a limiting nut that fits against the lower side of the washer is threaded onto the power transmission shaft on the lower side of the washer. The limiting nut causes the washer to abut against the lower side of the connecting cutter head.
[0028] Specifically, the tool connecting unit also includes a guide sleeve fixedly connected to the upper side of the connecting tool disc. The guide sleeve has a non-circular guide groove in its center, and the upper push rod can be slidably connected to the guide sleeve through the guide groove.
[0029] When the upper push rod moves, it slides along the guide groove, making the movement of the upper push rod smoother and improving the reliability of its position adjustment.
[0030] Example 2: Refer to Figures 2-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment and can further realize the angle adjustment of the limiting plate.
[0031] Specifically, an installation port is provided on the outer shell above the limiting plate. A corner platform (a conventional technology, whose specific structure is not an improvement of this application) is fixedly connected to the outer shell at the installation port. The base of the corner platform is fixedly connected to the outer shell. The lower side of the base has an arc surface. A movable block that can slide along the arc surface is connected to the lower side of the base. A handwheel for moving the movable block is connected to the movable block. The movable block is fixedly connected to the upper side of one end of the limiting plate. An intermediate plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the other end of the limiting plate. A support shaft is rotatably connected to the outer shell. The support shaft is fixedly connected to the outside of the intermediate plate. Several fastening holes are arranged on the intermediate plate. Several fastening countersunk holes corresponding to the fastening holes are provided on the side of the support shaft opposite to the intermediate plate. Fastening screws are screwed into the fastening holes and fastening countersunk holes to fix the support shaft relative to the limiting plate. The center of the support shaft and the center of the arc surface are at the same height.
[0032] When adjusting the angle of the limit plate, turn the handwheel. The handwheel will cause the movable block to slide along the lower side of the arc surface. The movable block will cause the limit plate to rotate. Observe the scale of the corner platform. When the limit plate rotates to the appropriate angle, stop turning the handwheel and use the locking part of the corner platform to lock the movable block and fix the angle of the movable block.
[0033] Specifically, a connecting plate is fixed on the upper side of the base, and at least two connecting holes are opened on the connecting plate. Several countersunk holes corresponding to the connecting holes are opened on the outer shell at the upper end of the mounting port.
[0034] When installing the corner stage, use fastening screws to screw into the connecting holes and corresponding countersunk holes. The fastening screws press the connecting plate onto the outer shell, thus fixing the connecting plate to the outer shell and achieving a fixed connection between the corner stage and the outer shell.
[0035] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
