Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the processing efficiency of a hourglass worm by providing the blade of a pinion cutter at an equal pitch to a worm wheel inside the plane vertical to a tool spindle and equalizing it to the number of the virtual wheel teeth whose teeth are more than one piece. CONSTITUTION:In the correcting method of a hourglass worm, the center distance of the case of cutting a worm 3 is made equal to the center distance of the time when the worm 3 is engaged with a virtual worm wheel 4' having the pitch equal to a worm wheel 4 and whose teeth is more than one piece. Moreover, the blade of a pinion cutter is made equal to the number of teeth of the virtual worm wheel 4' having the pitch equal to that of the worm wheel 4 and whose teeth are more than one piece within the plane vertical to a tool spindle. Also, it is arranged so that the teeth number of the blade of a pinion cutter is integral fraction of the worm wheel 4 and the pitch becomes an integral times. Further, the above blade is arranged on the helicoid with the tool spindle as the axis.

That is, by applying a motion similar to that performed by the worm wheel 4 that meshes with the drum-shaped worm 3 to be formed to the gear-cutting rotary grindstone 2 relative to the worm shaft 1, the drum is formed at key points on the worm shaft 1. A spiral tooth 5 having a shape of a shape is carved.

In other words, per ↓ rotation on the worm shaft, a feed corresponding to the pitch P of the tooth profile of the worm wheel 4 is applied to the cutting surface 7 by the rotary grindstone 2 on the pitch circle 6 of the worm wheel 4. Note that O is the rotation center of the worm wheel 4, and the cutting surface 7 of the rotary grindstone 2 has a cross-sectional shape of a flat cone.

When a worm wheel is geared with the tool that creates the worm 3 that has been geared in this manner, a part of the flat conical tool appears as a tooth surface on the other wormwheel.

The drum-shaped worm thus obtained has a larger number of meshing teeth than a cylindrical worm, so the load on each tooth is small and can withstand a large load.

In this gear cutting method, if the axial spacing at the time of gear cutting and the axial spacing Q when the worm wheel 4 actually meshes are made to exactly match, theoretically the entire surface will be applied to a part of the meshing. A contact state (solid contact) can be obtained.

However, the condition for obtaining this full-surface contact is when the condition for creating a critical normal line in a toothed ring is satisfied, and even in a normal hypoid gear, the tooth surfaces are designed to avoid this normal line. In other words, a point with this normal line is a singular point on the tooth surface and gives a mathematical discontinuity to the tooth surface.

In a Hindley worm gear, the point with the limit normal is the point where the entire surface contacts, and it is also the point that creates the meshing limit of the ridge line (edge) on the tooth surface of the wheel.

In the above-mentioned drum-shaped worm gear, due to errors or changes in related positions such as the shaft spacing during processing and when the worm wheels are actually engaged, undesirable tooth contact occurs on the relief side beyond the limit normal.

Therefore, in a worm reduction device in which the outer shape of the worm is drum-shaped, the distance between the shafts when gearing the worm with a conical rotary tool is made slightly larger than the distance between the meshing shafts 2, and the gear cutting reduction ratio is set to match the gear cutting ratio. The one that solved the above problem by making it slightly larger than the ratio was the 6th Utility Model.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4-25551 (referred to as Publication Example 2) (FIG. 5).

In FIG. 5, the worm 3 is gear-cut by a conical rotary tool 2 rotating around a tool rotation center Q, such as a gear cutting tool such as a rotary grindstone or a rotary milling cutter. The rotation ratio between this turning motion and the rotational motion of the worm during cutting is expressed like a reduction ratio and is expressed as j. q is the rotation center when the wheels are engaged, and i is the reduction ratio of the worm wheel 4 when the wheels are engaged.

By making the distance between the worm gear cutting axes and the reduction ratio different from those when the worm wheel is engaged in this way, there is no discontinuity on the tooth surface, and the tolerance range for errors in the axial spacing is wide. , It is easier to assemble, and the load can be distributed equally to each tooth. 1. Even if there is some irregularity in tooth contact at the initial stage of assembly, discontinuous surfaces will not be created on the tooth surface due to wear. It has the advantage of being easy to fit into the teeth, having good oil circulation around the teeth, and being resistant to abrasion.
