Detailed Description
The core of the invention is to provide the annular gear part machining method, which can improve the material utilization rate in the annular gear part machining process and improve the machining precision and structural performance of the tooth part of the machined annular gear part.
In order to better understand the aspects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description.
Please refer to fig. 1.
In a first embodiment, the method for machining an inner gear ring part provided by the invention includes:
And S101, selecting blank materials.
Selecting materials according to the performance parameters of the pipe, and selecting pipe blanks capable of meeting the machining and forming requirements of the annular gear parts.
Generally, seamless steel pipes are selected as the pipes, and the selection of the pipes in the blank material selection process can comprise parameters such as a forming mode of the pipes, pipe dimensions, pipe bending, material organization performance of the pipes and the like.
Specifically, a tube material formed by heating a rolled material and passing through the tube is selected, the inner wall and the outer wall of the tube material are extruded, sized and subjected to air cooling treatment, and the air cooling treatment is natural cooling in the air; in addition, the tube is annealed after straightening, and the annealing hardness is preferably 150-170 HBW. In the production process, the pipe is stressed and deformed in the axial direction and the radial direction, and the structure performance of the pipe is improved to a certain extent, and the longitudinal and transverse performances are uniform, similar to the forging process after blanking of the pipe; in addition, because the temperature is higher during sizing, air cooling is similar to normalizing treatment after sizing, and the annealing treatment after straightening can not only reduce the hardness of the pipe so as to facilitate the subsequent tooth extrusion processing, but also remove the residual stress caused by the straightening process.
And measuring and selecting the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the wall thickness and the curvature of the pipe, wherein the outer diameter, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are selected according to the reserved machining size and the turning allowance, and the curvature meets the machining technical requirements of the annular gear part. Specifically, the outer diameter measuring part is the head part, the middle part and the tail part of the pipe, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are the head part and the tail part, and the curvature is measured along the axial direction of the pipe. The deviations of the dimensions after measurement were: outer diameter = ±outer diameter/1000, inner diameter = ±inner diameter/1000, wall thickness = ±wall thickness/100, deflection of curvature = ±0.4mm/m.
The material organization property of the pipe is correspondingly checked and selected, and generally, the pipe with uniform chemical composition, the organization property and the brand meeting the requirements of the internal gear ring part processing drawing is selected, wherein the fluctuation Wc of the carbon content of each point of the cross section of the pipe is ensured to be less than 0.03 percent as much as possible. In actual operation, samples of chemical components, metallographic structures, mechanical properties and the like of the pipe are all sampled at the 1/2 wall thickness position. The specific sampling positions are as follows: the strip tissue inspection surface is a longitudinal section and a transverse section at a radius of 1/2 of the wall thickness; the chemical components and nonmetallic inclusions are longitudinal sections with 1/2 radius of the wall thickness; the grain size, hardness and gas content test surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipe. Wherein the number of chemical component samples is not less than 3, and the sampling positions should be uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the pipe; the rest requirements of the pipe all meet the enterprise or national standards.
In the blank selection process, UT (acronym for Ultrasonic Testing, i.e., ultrasonic detection) flaw detection and magnetic content detection can be performed on the pipe if necessary. Generally, UT flaw detection can be performed on the pipe according to the standard and grade specified by the processing technical drawing of the ring gear part against the artificial defect standard block so as to select the pipe meeting the requirement. And the magnetic content detection requires that the residual magnetic quantity of the pipe is not more than 5 gauss.
Of course, the specific requirement standards for the relevant parameters, the structure and the material performance of the pipe in the related blank selection can be properly adjusted and flexibly selected according to different specific application working conditions. In principle, any material may be used as long as it can meet the practical requirements of the machining method of the ring gear part.
In the prior art, the original blank is a bar stock, so that the bar stock is usually processed in a single piece in the process of being processed into a circular ring blank through a forging process; in the scheme, the pipe is selected as an original blank, and the processing technologies of pipe penetration, periodic forging and rolling and the like adopted in the pipe processing process are all continuous processing treatment of a plurality of blanks. Therefore, the processing efficiency of adopting the pipe as the original blank is higher, and the process flow is smoother and more efficient.
Step S102, blanking.
And respectively removing a section of annular end scraps from the head end and the tail end of the whole pipe blank along the axial direction, ensuring that the head end and the tail end of the pipe blank are perpendicular to the axis of the pipe blank when the annular end scraps are removed, cutting the pipe blank into circular ring blanks according to the turning allowance of the axial direction reserved in the processing drawing of the annular gear part, and ensuring that the parallelism of the two end surfaces of the circular ring blanks meets the technological requirements.
Generally, the axial length of the annular end scraps removed from the head end and the tail end of the pipe blank is 1-2 mm, and the parallelism of the two end faces of the annular end scraps removed from the annular end scraps should be not more than 0.1mm.
And step S103, basic shot blasting.
And (3) performing shot blasting treatment on the whole annular blank to remove the oxide skin on the surface of the annular blank.
The shot blasting referred to herein is generally a process of blasting out a steel shot at a high speed by using an impeller rotating at a high speed to strike the steel shot onto the surface of a workpiece, thereby cleaning or strengthening the surface of the workpiece. In practice, shot blasting may be used instead of the above-mentioned shot blasting, and in particular, shot blasting is a process of cleaning or strengthening a surface of a workpiece by using compressed air as a motive force and by spraying steel shots onto the surface of the workpiece by a high-speed air flow of the compressed air. In practical application, the shot blasting and shot blasting process can be replaced and changed according to specific working condition requirements, and in principle, the practical process requirements of basic shot blasting and the specific application requirements of the annular gear part machining method can be met.
Step S104, extruding teeth.
Placing the ring blank into a lower die cavity of an extrusion die, enabling one end face of the ring blank to be attached to the inner lower surface of the lower die cavity, enabling the outer surface of the ring blank to be attached to the inner circumferential surface of the lower die cavity, starting an extruder, enabling a tooth-shaped extrusion cutter of the extruder to be pressed into the ring blank downwards, keeping the axis of the extruder coincident with the axis of the ring blank, enabling the tooth-shaped extrusion cutter of the extruder to extrude a tooth part on the ring blank and then exit the lower die cavity, processing the ring blank into a gear ring blank, and enabling a lower die cavity ejector rod to eject the gear ring blank, so that the whole tooth extrusion processing procedure is completed.
Because the conventional rough gear shaping process needs all teeth to be simultaneously formed, compared with the conventional rough gear shaping process in the prior art, the gear shaping process has the advantages of higher gear shaping speed and higher processing efficiency.
It should be understood that the axis of the extruder mentioned above, which is generally referred to as the axis of the extrusion die on the extruder, coincides with the axis of the annular blank, and can sufficiently ensure the accuracy of the extrusion process and the shaping effect of the ring gear blank.
In practical application, the extrusion forming mode can improve the processing efficiency of the annular gear part, and can form a cold work hardening layer distributed along the tooth profile direction on the whole tooth form (comprising a tooth surface, a tooth root and a tooth top), so that the fatigue strength and the service life of the gear are obviously improved.
And step S105, tempering.
And carrying out quenching and tempering treatment on the gear ring blank according to the technical requirements of the processing drawing of the inner gear ring part. For the field, tempering refers to a heat treatment process for improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of steel materials, which is performed by quenching a workpiece to be treated and then tempering the workpiece at a high temperature. The tempering aims to ensure that the steel parts have good matching of strength and toughness, and have higher strength, excellent toughness, plasticity, cutting performance and the like.
And S106, turning.
The first end face of the gear ring blank is used as a positioning basis, an outer circular face adjacent to the end face is clamped by a three-jaw chuck, the second end face and the outer circular face of the gear ring blank are aligned, so that the jumping precision meets the technological requirements, the second end face and the outer circular face of the gear ring blank are turned to be formed, an orifice chamfer and a spigot are turned to be formed at the corresponding positions of the second end face, and the sharp edge of the second end face of the gear ring blank is blunted; then, the machined second end face of the gear ring blank is used as a positioning basis, a three-jaw chuck is used for clamping an outer circular face, a copper sheet is arranged at a clamping position in a cushioning mode, the outer circular face is aligned, the jumping precision meets the technological requirements, the first end face and the outer circular face of the gear ring blank are turned to be formed, an orifice chamfer and a spigot are turned to be formed at corresponding positions of the first end face, and sharp edges of the first end face of the gear ring blank are blunted.
And S107, drilling and tapping.
And (3) lofting all holes according to the processing drawing of the inner gear ring part by using a proper center drill, and then drilling and tapping all screw holes correspondingly until the holes are formed.
Step S108, fine gear shaping.
After the universal cushion block is cleaned up, the gear ring blank is horizontally placed on the universal cushion block, the gear ring blank is pressed by a pressing plate, the upper end face and the outer circular face of the gear ring blank are aligned, the runout precision meets the process requirement, and then the gear ring blank fine gear shaping is processed to the internal tooth forming according to the processing drawing requirement of the internal gear ring part.
Generally, the roughness Ra of the tooth surface of the internal tooth formed by the fine gear shaping treatment is less than or equal to 2.0, so that the consistency of the metallographic structure of the tooth surface after the subsequent nitriding treatment, particularly the uniformity of the thickness of the white bright layer, is convenient, and the falling of the white bright layer when the part is used due to the excessive thickness of the local white bright layer is prevented.
In the scheme, the seamless steel pipe is directly selected as an original blank, so that in the actual processing process, the annular blank can be processed into the gear ring blank only by tooth extrusion, the primary forming of the inner gear ring part is realized, in the whole tooth extrusion process, the blank is only subjected to extrusion forming treatment, no material is removed, the whole material of the blank is free from loss, and then the subsequent single turning process and fine tooth shaping process are matched, so that the high-precision processing forming treatment of the core structures such as the tooth part of the inner gear ring part can be completed. Therefore, the scheme does not need to combine a rough turning process to process the forged blank into a blank, and then further process the blank into a high-precision formed part by matching with a finish turning process, so that a large amount of materials on the blank are eliminated and discarded due to the rough turning and finish turning processes, raw material waste is effectively avoided, and material utilization rate is improved.
Step S109, nitriding.
And (3) after the gear ring blank subjected to the finish gear shaping treatment is cleaned, the gear ring blank is horizontally placed on a lifting appliance, and then the gear ring blank is subjected to integral nitriding treatment according to the processing drawing requirements of the inner gear ring part, so that a final inner gear ring part product has good high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance and fatigue resistance, and the working condition tolerance of the inner gear ring part is optimized, so that the gear ring part is more durable.
Nitriding treatment referred to herein generally refers to a chemical heat treatment process in which nitrogen atoms are allowed to permeate into the surface layer of a workpiece in a certain medium at a certain temperature. The nitriding treated product has the characteristics of excellent wear resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
Step S110, strengthening shot blasting.
And (3) strengthening shot blasting is carried out on the tooth root part of the gear ring blank so as to improve the roughness of the tooth root part, form compressive stress on the tooth root part, and then cooperate with a cold work hardening layer formed in the tooth profile direction in the tooth extrusion process so as to strengthen the structural strength of the tooth root part and optimize the overall structural performance of the inner gear ring part product.
Similar to the basic shot blasting described above, the shot blasting process in the enhanced peening can also be replaced by a shot blasting process, in principle, as long as the actual process requirements of the enhanced peening and the specific application requirements of the ring gear part machining method can be satisfied.
Step S111, grinding teeth.
And (3) polishing and forming the gear ring blank until a finished product of the inner gear ring part is obtained.
Of course, the above steps mainly describe the processing process flow of the straight-barrel ring gear part without flange, in practical application, if the outer circle of the ring gear part has a flange, when the step of extruding teeth is implemented in S104, the flange should be synchronously extruded and molded, specifically, the flange storage position can be reserved at the ring gear flange in the lower die cavity, and the flange can be extruded; the outer circle and the thickness of the flange are finely turned and formed when the turning procedure is implemented in S106; in the S107 drilling and tapping process, corresponding screw holes are drilled and tapped on the flange plate until the flange plate is molded.
The lower die required by the flange molding is an assembly and is divided into a flange molding cavity and a flange upper straight cylinder part molding cavity. After the flange is formed, the forming cavity of the straight cylinder part at the upper part of the flange can be radially expanded to the outer circle size of the flange, and the ring gear blank can be ejected out by the ejector rod.
Please refer to fig. 2.
In a second embodiment, the method for machining an inner gear ring part provided by the invention includes:
step S201, selecting blank materials.
Selecting materials according to the performance parameters of the pipe, and selecting pipe blanks capable of meeting the machining and forming requirements of the annular gear parts.
Generally, seamless steel pipes are selected as the pipes, and the selection of the pipes in the blank material selection process can comprise parameters such as a forming mode of the pipes, pipe dimensions, pipe bending, material organization performance of the pipes and the like.

In the production process, the pipe is stressed and deformed in the axial direction and the radial direction, and the structure performance of the pipe is improved to a certain extent, and the longitudinal and transverse performances are uniform, similar to the forging process after blanking of the pipe; in addition, because the temperature is higher during sizing, air cooling is similar to normalizing treatment after sizing, and the annealing treatment after straightening can not only reduce the hardness of the pipe so as to facilitate the subsequent tooth extrusion processing, but also remove the residual stress caused by the straightening process.
And measuring and selecting the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the wall thickness and the curvature of the pipe, wherein the outer diameter, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are selected according to the reserved machining size and the turning allowance, and the curvature meets the machining technical requirements of the annular gear part. Specifically, the outer diameter measuring part is the head part, the middle part and the tail part of the pipe, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are the head part and the tail part, and the curvature is measured along the axial direction of the pipe. The deviations of the dimensions after measurement were: outer diameter = ±outer diameter/1000, inner diameter = ±inner diameter/1000, wall thickness = ±wall thickness/100, deflection of curvature = ±0.4mm/m.
The material organization property of the pipe is correspondingly checked and selected, and generally, the pipe with uniform chemical composition, the organization property and the brand meeting the requirements of the internal gear ring part processing drawing is selected, wherein the fluctuation Wc of the carbon content of each point of the cross section of the pipe is ensured to be less than 0.03 percent as much as possible. In actual operation, samples of chemical components, metallographic structures, mechanical properties and the like of the pipe are all sampled at the 1/2 wall thickness position. The specific sampling positions are as follows: the strip tissue inspection surface is a longitudinal section and a transverse section at a radius of 1/2 of the wall thickness; the chemical components and nonmetallic inclusions are longitudinal sections with 1/2 radius of the wall thickness; the grain size, hardness and gas content test surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipe. Wherein the number of chemical component samples is not less than 3, and the sampling positions should be uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the pipe; the rest requirements of the pipe all meet the enterprise or national standards.
In the blank selection process, UT (acronym for Ultrasonic Testing, i.e., ultrasonic detection) flaw detection and magnetic content detection can be performed on the pipe if necessary. Generally, UT flaw detection can be performed on the pipe according to the standard and grade specified by the processing technical drawing of the ring gear part against the artificial defect standard block so as to select the pipe meeting the requirement. And the magnetic content detection requires that the residual magnetic quantity of the pipe is not more than 5 gauss.
Of course, the specific requirement standards for the relevant parameters, the structure and the material performance of the pipe in the related blank selection can be properly adjusted and flexibly selected according to different specific application working conditions. In principle, any material may be used as long as it can meet the practical requirements of the machining method of the ring gear part.
In the prior art, the original blank is a bar stock, so that the bar stock is usually processed in a single piece in the process of being processed into a circular ring blank through a forging process; in the scheme, the pipe is selected as an original blank, and the processing technologies of pipe penetration, periodic forging and rolling and the like adopted in the pipe processing process are all continuous processing treatment of a plurality of blanks. Therefore, the processing efficiency of adopting the pipe as the original blank is higher, and the process flow is smoother and more efficient.
Step S202, blanking.
And respectively removing a section of annular end scraps from the head end and the tail end of the whole pipe blank along the axial direction, ensuring that the head end and the tail end of the pipe blank are perpendicular to the axis of the pipe blank when the annular end scraps are removed, cutting the pipe blank into circular ring blanks according to the turning allowance of the axial direction reserved in the processing drawing of the annular gear part, and ensuring that the parallelism of the two end surfaces of the circular ring blanks meets the technological requirements.
Generally, the axial length of the annular end scraps removed from the head end and the tail end of the pipe blank is 1-2 mm, and the parallelism of the two end faces of the annular end scraps removed from the annular end scraps should be not more than 0.1mm.
In the step S202 of blanking, two ring blanks with different lengths and inner and outer diameter sizes are required to be cut, namely a first ring blank and a second ring blank, and each parameter of the two ring blanks needs to meet the following requirements:
① The length of the first annular blank is at least 2mm smaller than that of the second annular blank, and the length of the second annular blank is equal to the sum of the length of the drawing part plus a preset turning allowance;

The above operation procedure can be repeatedly implemented until each gear ring blank is pressed into an integral pressed blank, and multiple layers of metal flow direction superposition are formed on the tooth part, so as to strengthen the performance of the tooth part.

After the universal cushion block is cleaned up, the gear ring blank is horizontally placed on the universal cushion block, the gear ring blank is pressed by a pressing plate, the upper end face and the outer circular face of the gear ring blank are aligned, the runout precision meets the process requirement, and then the gear ring blank fine gear shaping is processed to the internal tooth forming according to the processing drawing requirement of the internal gear ring part.
Generally, the roughness Ra of the tooth surface of the internal tooth formed by the fine gear shaping treatment is less than or equal to 2.0, so that the consistency of the metallographic structure of the tooth surface after the subsequent nitriding treatment, particularly the uniformity of the thickness of the white bright layer, is convenient, and the falling of the white bright layer when the part is used due to the excessive thickness of the local white bright layer is prevented.
In the scheme, the seamless steel pipe is directly selected as an original blank, so that in the actual processing process, the annular blank can be processed into the gear ring blank only by tooth extrusion, the primary forming of the inner gear ring part is realized, in the whole tooth extrusion process, the blank is only subjected to extrusion forming treatment, no material is removed, the whole material of the blank is free from loss, and then the subsequent single turning process and fine tooth shaping process are matched, so that the high-precision processing forming treatment of the core structures such as the tooth part of the inner gear ring part can be completed. Therefore, the scheme does not need to combine a rough turning process to process the forged blank into a blank, and then further process the blank into a high-precision formed part by matching with a finish turning process, so that a large amount of materials on the blank are eliminated and discarded due to the rough turning and finish turning processes, raw material waste is effectively avoided, and material utilization rate is improved.

In a third embodiment, the method for machining an inner gear ring part provided by the invention includes:
step S301, selecting blank materials.
Selecting materials according to the performance parameters of the pipe, and selecting pipe blanks capable of meeting the machining and forming requirements of the annular gear parts.
Generally, seamless steel pipes are selected as the pipes, and the selection of the pipes in the blank material selection process can comprise parameters such as a forming mode of the pipes, pipe dimensions, pipe bending, material organization performance of the pipes and the like.
Specifically, a rolled material or a casting blank is selected and is subjected to tube penetrating molding after being heated, the inner wall and the outer wall of the tube are subjected to extrusion sizing and air cooling treatment, and the air cooling treatment is natural cooling in the air; in addition, the tube is annealed after straightening, and the annealing hardness is preferably 150-170 HBW. In the production process, the pipe is stressed and deformed in the axial direction and the radial direction, and the structure performance of the pipe is improved to a certain extent, and the longitudinal and transverse performances are uniform, similar to the forging process after blanking of the pipe; in addition, because the temperature is higher during sizing, air cooling is similar to normalizing treatment after sizing, and the annealing treatment after straightening can not only reduce the hardness of the pipe so as to facilitate the subsequent tooth extrusion processing, but also remove the residual stress caused by the straightening process.
And measuring and selecting the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the wall thickness and the curvature of the pipe, wherein the outer diameter, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are selected according to the reserved machining size and the turning allowance, and the curvature meets the machining technical requirements of the annular gear part. Specifically, the outer diameter measuring part is the head part, the middle part and the tail part of the pipe, the inner diameter and the wall thickness are the head part and the tail part, and the curvature is measured along the axial direction of the pipe. The deviations of the dimensions after measurement were: outer diameter = ±outer diameter/1000, inner diameter = ±inner diameter/1000, wall thickness = ±wall thickness/100, deflection of curvature = ±0.4mm/m.
The material organization property of the pipe is correspondingly checked and selected, and generally, the pipe with uniform chemical composition, the organization property and the brand meeting the requirements of the internal gear ring part processing drawing is selected, wherein the fluctuation Wc of the carbon content of each point of the cross section of the pipe is ensured to be less than 0.03 percent as much as possible. In actual operation, samples of chemical components, metallographic structures, mechanical properties and the like of the pipe are all sampled at the 1/2 wall thickness position. The specific sampling positions are as follows: the strip tissue inspection surface is a longitudinal section and a transverse section at a radius of 1/2 of the wall thickness; the chemical components and nonmetallic inclusions are longitudinal sections with 1/2 radius of the wall thickness; the grain size, hardness and gas content test surface is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipe. Wherein the number of chemical component samples is not less than 3, and the sampling positions should be uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the pipe; the rest requirements of the pipe all meet the enterprise or national standards.
In the blank selection process, UT (acronym for Ultrasonic Testing, i.e., ultrasonic detection) flaw detection and magnetic content detection can be performed on the pipe if necessary. Generally, UT flaw detection can be performed on the pipe according to the standard and grade specified by the processing technical drawing of the ring gear part against the artificial defect standard block so as to select the pipe meeting the requirement. And the magnetic content detection requires that the residual magnetic quantity of the pipe is not more than 5 gauss.
Of course, the specific requirement standards for the relevant parameters, the structure and the material performance of the pipe in the related blank selection can be properly adjusted and flexibly selected according to different specific application working conditions. In principle, any material may be used as long as it can meet the practical requirements of the machining method of the ring gear part.
In the prior art, the original blank is a bar stock, so that the bar stock is usually processed in a single piece in the process of being processed into a circular ring blank through a forging process; in the scheme, the pipe is selected as an original blank, and the processing technologies of pipe penetration, periodic forging and rolling and the like adopted in the pipe processing process are all continuous processing treatment of a plurality of blanks. Therefore, the processing efficiency of adopting the pipe as the original blank is higher, and the process flow is smoother and more efficient.

In the blanking of S302, two ring blanks with different lengths and inner and outer diameter sizes, namely a first ring blank and a second ring blank, need to be cut, and each parameter of the two ring blanks needs to meet the following requirements:
① The length of the first annular blank is at least 2mm smaller than that of the second annular blank, and the length of the second annular blank is equal to the sum of the length of the drawing part plus a preset turning allowance;
