Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear processing technology, and in particular to a gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears. Background Technology

[0002] Synchronizer gears are key components in automotive transmissions, used to achieve smooth gear engagement during shifting. Their core is the synchronizer ring (synchronizer sleeve), which synchronizes the gear and shaft speeds through friction, reducing shifting shock. The working principle is as follows: during shifting, the synchronizer ring first contacts the target gear, using the friction of its conical surface to generate resistance, forcing both gears to rotate at the same speed, and then the sleeve smoothly engages. Synchronizer gears significantly improve shifting smoothness, protect transmission gears, and prevent grinding noise, and are widely used in manual transmissions and some automatic transmission vehicles. They are mostly made of high-strength alloy steel, requiring a balance between wear resistance and heat dissipation, making them an important design element for ensuring transmission durability and driving comfort. Therefore, fixtures are needed when machining them.

[0003] Existing synchronizer gear hobbing fixtures have the following main drawbacks: Traditional fixtures mostly rely on manual adjustment or single-point drive, making it difficult to achieve synchronous and precise displacement of multiple jaws during clamping, which can easily lead to uneven force on the gear's inner hole, resulting in clamping deformation or positioning deviation; the clamping surfaces usually use rigid contact or fixed rubber pads, which cannot be easily replaced after long-term wear, and lack an effective overload protection mechanism, which can easily damage the gear's precision-machined surface or the fixture structure when the clamping force is too large; in addition, manual operation is cumbersome, clamping efficiency is low, and it is difficult to meet the needs of mass production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, which solves the problem that traditional fixtures in the prior art mostly rely on manual adjustment or single-point drive, making it difficult to achieve synchronous and accurate displacement of multiple jaws during clamping, and easily causing uneven force on the inner hole of the gear, resulting in clamping deformation or positioning deviation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears is provided, comprising a fixture body, a bracket fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the fixture body, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, a motor fixedly connected to the inner end of the bracket, a screw rotatably connected inside the fixed plate, and the output end of the motor connected to the screw via a coupling.

[0006] The screw is threaded with a threaded sleeve, and the four outer ends of the threaded sleeve are rotatably connected to connecting rods. The four outer ends of the fixed plate are fixedly connected to extension plates.

[0007] According to the aforementioned gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, a movable frame is fixedly connected to the top of the second slider, and a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame.

[0008] According to the aforementioned gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, the outer ends of the extension plate are fixedly connected to slide rails, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rails.

[0009] According to the aforementioned gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, the fixture body has four sliding grooves at its upper end, a sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, and a slider is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame, the slider being slidably connected to the sliding rod.

[0010] According to the aforementioned gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame, and a rubber block is correspondingly installed at the outer end of the clamping plate.

[0011] According to the aforementioned gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, a gear hobbing body is correspondingly provided at the outer end of the rubber block, a limiting groove is provided at the outer end of the clamping plate, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the end of the rubber block near the clamping plate, and a positioning bolt is engaged with the internal thread of the limiting groove in the limiting block.

[0012] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This device uses a motor to drive the screw to raise and lower the screw sleeve. In conjunction with four sets of symmetrically distributed connecting rods and the movable frame, it achieves synchronous radial movement of the four clamping plates. This integrated transmission design ensures uniform distribution of clamping force and avoids workpiece displacement caused by single-point force. Combined with the dual guide structure of slide rail and slide groove, it greatly improves clamping stability, significantly shortens clamping time, and ensures machining accuracy.

[0014] 2. The outer end of the clamping plate can be detachably installed with polyurethane rubber blocks via limiting grooves and bolts. It has both wear-resistant and anti-slip properties as well as elastic buffering characteristics. The modular design supports quick replacement of wear parts and is suitable for workpieces of different specifications.

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a gear hobbing fixture for clamping synchronizer gears, comprising a fixture body 1, a bracket 13 fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the fixture body 1, a fixed plate 11 fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 13, a motor 12 fixedly connected to the inner end of the bracket 13, a screw 15 rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 11, and the output end of the motor 12 connected to the screw 15 via a coupling. Starting the motor 12 ensures the rotation of the screw 15.

[0025] The screw 15 is threaded with a screw sleeve 16. The four outer ends of the screw sleeve 16 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 10. The four outer ends of the fixed plate 11 are fixedly connected to an extension plate 14. The other end of the connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner end of the movable frame 9. Under the action of the connecting rod 10, the screw sleeve 16 can be restricted. Under the action of the threaded engagement, the screw sleeve 16 can move up and down. The movement of the four movable frames 9 can be realized by adjusting the lifting of the screw sleeve 16.

[0026] The extension plate 14 has a second sliding groove 19 inside, and a second slider 17 is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove 19. A movable frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the second slider 17, and a connecting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame 9. The two outer ends of the extension plate 14 are fixedly connected to slide rails 18, and the second slider 17 is slidably connected to the slide rails 18. By setting the slide rails 18 and the second sliding groove 19, the stability of the second slider 17 and the movable frame 9 during movement can be improved, which greatly improves the clamping effect of the entire clamping assembly.

[0027] The clamp body 1 has four grooves 7 at its top. A slide rod 2 is fixedly connected inside the groove 7. A slider 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 8. The slider 4 is slidably connected to the slide rod 2. A clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 8. A rubber block 3 is installed on the outer end of the clamping plate 6. By setting the slider 4, the clamping plate 6 can be connected to the movable frame 9, so that the internal moving component can drive the clamping plate 6 to move and complete the clamping operation. Secondly, the slide rod 2 can improve the movement stability of the clamping component. Finally, the rubber block 3 at the outer end has deformation capability and anti-slip capability, which can better contact the inner ring of the gear hobbing body 5 and improve the clamping effect.

[0028] The outer end of the rubber block 3 is provided with a gear body 5, and the outer end of the clamping plate 6 is provided with a limiting groove 20. The end of the rubber block 3 near the clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 22. The limiting block 22 and the internal thread of the limiting groove 20 are fitted with a positioning bolt 21. By setting the limiting block 22 and the limiting groove 20, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and replace the rubber block 3, improving the convenience of the device. Secondly, under the action of the positioning bolt 21, the two can be locked and fixed, improving the stability of the rubber block 3 during use. The other end of the positioning bolt 21 is locked with a nut. The motor 12 drive circuit integrates an overcurrent protection function. When the clamping resistance increases and the motor current increases significantly, the power is automatically cut off or reversed. The rubber block 3 is made of polyurethane rubber, which has excellent wear resistance and anti-slip properties. The positioning bolt 21 is a high-strength bolt (such as grade 8.8 or above) and is equipped with an effective anti-loosening device, such as a spring washer + flat washer.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, the gear hobbing body 5 is placed inside the clamping body 1. Then, the internal motor 12 is started to drive the screw 15 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded engagement, the screw sleeve 16 can gradually move downward. And under the transmission action of the four sets of connecting rods 10 at the outer end, the four sets of movable frames 9 can gradually move outward. Through the connection between the connecting frame 8 and the slider 4, the four clamping plates 6 can be driven to move outward synchronously. Finally, the rubber block 3 at the outer end of the clamping plate 6 contacts the inner wall of the gear hobbing body 5, completing the rapid clamping of the gear hobbing body 5 and improving the stability of the gear hobbing body 5 during processing.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
