Under the action of the storage box 2, lubricant can be stored in the storage box 2, making the rotation of the tool bar 11 on the surface of the tool holder 12 smoother. It also serves to maintain the connection between the tool bar 11 and the tool holder 12, preventing rust from long-term use and thus ensuring the machine can operate normally.

[0029] Furthermore, the diameter of the injection hole 21 is smaller than the diameter of the discharge hole 22. One end of the connecting band 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage box 2, and the other end of the connecting band 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug 24. The mounting hole 25 and the discharge hole 22 have the same diameter. The sealing plug 24 consists of two parts.

The lubricant is injected into the storage box 2 through the injection hole 21.

[0030] Furthermore, two sets of first rotating grooves 26 are provided, and the two sets of first rotating grooves 26 are opened on both sides of the mounting hole 25. The diameter of the first rotating groove 26 is larger than the diameter of the first rotating block 28.

The second rotating block 31 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second rotating groove 32. The diameter of the limiting hole 35 is the same as the diameter of the through hole 36. The two sets of connecting blocks 3 fixed on the first mounting block 15 are arranged on both sides of the connecting block 3 fixed on the second mounting block 16. Under the connection action of the second rotating block 31 and the second rotating groove 32, the second mounting block 16 can rotate around the second rotating block 31 as the center.

[0034] Furthermore, one end of the support spring 37 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting chamber 33, and the other end of the support spring 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting plate 38. The limiting plate 38 is abutted against the inner surface of the mounting chamber 33, and the limiting block 39 is engaged with the surface of the limiting hole 35. Two sets of support springs 37 are provided and are arranged on both sides of the limiting plate 38.

[0035] Working principle: Before the main shaft structure of the gear hobbing machine starts working, lubricant is injected into the storage box 2 through the injection hole 21. After injection, the sealing plug 24 connected to the connecting belt 23 is inserted into the surface of the injection hole 21. At this time, the machine is started, causing the tool bar 11 and hob 1 to rotate. While rotating, the movable ball 27 rotates, causing the movable ball 27 to rotate around the first rotating block 28 on the surface of the mounting hole 25. The lubricant enters the mounting hole 25 through the discharge hole 22. While rotating, the movable ball 27 attaches the lubricant to the surface of the tool bar 11 to complete the lubrication and protection of the connection between the tool bar 11 and the tool holder 12.

[0036] When reinforcing the other end of the tool holder 11 connected to the tool post 12, the tool holder 11 is first attached to the surface of the first mounting block 15. At this time, the second mounting block 16 is rotated around the second rotating block 31 towards the surface of the tool holder 11. At the same time, the limiting block 39 is pressed against the inner surface of the mounting chamber 33. The limiting plate 38 slides along the inner surface of the mounting chamber 33, the support spring 37 is compressed, and the limiting block 39 is placed in the mounting chamber 33 through the through hole 36. When the first mounting block 15 is attached to the surface of the tool holder 11, the support spring 37 provides support force on the surface of the limiting plate 38, so that the limiting plate 38 pushes the limiting block 39 and the limiting hole 35 to engage, thereby completing the fixed installation of the tool holder 11.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
