Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an external gear shaping cutter clamping assembly, belonging to the field of CNC lathe tool technology. Background Technology
[0002] Gear machining methods on shaft systems include hobbing, gear shaping, and milling. Gear shaping directly forms the tooth profile, offering the highest precision and wide application. Gear shaping involves machining the tooth surfaces of internal and external gears or racks using generating or forming methods with a gear shaper. Gear shaping can machine both spur and helical teeth. A gear shaper is essentially a gear with a ground rake angle and a cutting edge. Gear shaping is generally achieved through the reciprocating cutting motion of the gear shaper in conjunction with the rotation of the workpiece. For small module gears, due to the very small module and tooth space, the gear precision is generally 6-8, requiring even higher precision from the gear shaper. Currently, there are generally two types of gear shapers on the market: one is a solid tungsten carbide gear shaper, which has high strength, but if the cutting edge breaks, the entire tool needs to be replaced, resulting in wasted material in the tool holder. Furthermore, solid tungsten carbide gear shapers exhibit relatively large vibration amplitudes during long machining times. Another type is a split gear shaper, which combines a cutter shaft and a cutting edge. The cutting edge is installed at the front end of the cutter shaft and can be replaced, avoiding waste of the cutter bar. However, split gear shapers require high stability in the clamping of the cutter shaft and the cutting edge. If the stability is insufficient, multiple clamping will be required, which will reduce the tooth direction accuracy of the machined gear. Utility Model Content

[0013] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.
[0014] An external gear shaping cutter clamping assembly includes a clamping seat 1 fastened to a CNC lathe tool rest by bolts and an external gear shaping cutter 2 clamped on the clamping seat 1. The external gear shaping cutter 2 includes a tool holder 3 and a detachable cutting edge 4 mounted on the front end of the tool holder 3 and extending forward. The clamping seat 1 has a clamping groove 11. The tool holder 3 is detachably mounted in the clamping groove 11 by a bevel locking assembly. The bevel locking assembly includes a locking wedge 5 fastened to the clamping groove by bolts and a bevel mating block 6 that engages with the bevel of the locking wedge 5. The tool holder 3 is clamped in the clamping groove 11 by the locking wedge 5.
[0015] The external gear shaping cutter clamping assembly described above has a clamping groove 11 on the clamping base 1. When clamping the external gear shaping cutter 2, the tool holder 3, locking wedge 5, and inclined mating block 6 are first installed into the clamping groove 11, and the locking wedge 5 and the inclined mating block 6 form an inclined mating. Then, the locking wedge 5 is fastened to the clamping base 1 with bolts. During the tightening of the bolts, the locking wedge 5 is pushed into the clamping groove 11, so that the locking wedge 5 moves along the mating inclined surface to clamp the tool holder 3 in the clamping groove 11. Then, the cutting edge 4 is installed on the front end of the tool holder 3, and the clamping base 1 is fixed on the tool rest of the CNC lathe to complete the assembly and installation of the entire clamping assembly.

Multiple bolts can be set on the locking wedge 5 according to the clamping requirements of the tool holder 3. When all the bolts are tightened, the tool holder 3 is firmly clamped by the locking wedge 5, which improves the stability and reliability of the external gear shaping cutter 2 clamping, and ensures that the external gear shaping cutter can remain stable and not loose during the reciprocating motion of the gear shaping cutter. The entire workpiece gear shaping operation can be completed in one clamping, avoiding secondary clamping and improving the gear shaping accuracy.

The structure is simple, the disassembly and assembly are convenient, and the replacement is easy. It can realize the clamping of external gear shaping cutters 2 of different specifications, and has high practicality.
[0016] The clamping groove 11 is opened along the length direction of the tool holder 3. The inclined mating block 6, the locking wedge block 5 and the tool holder 3 are stacked in the clamping groove 11 from bottom to top. The bottom surface of the locking wedge block 5 and the top surface of the inclined mating block 6 form an upward inclined mating. The bolt on the locking wedge block 5 is set along the depth direction of the clamping groove 11. The tool holder 6 is clamped as the bolt is tightened.
