DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING EPICYCLOID WHEELS OF NONCENTROIDAL LANTERN WHEEL GEARING Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; manufacture of epicycloid wheels by generation. SUBSTANCE: device has tool-blank generating mechanism consisting of motor 1, gear wheels 2, 3, 4 and face-plate 5 on which tool drive is installed. Drive has motor 6 and gear train 7, 8. Cylindrical milling cutter 9 is used as tool. Diameter of cutter is equal to diameter of cog of mated lantern wheel. Axis of rotation of face-plate 5 is located at distance r₃ from axis of blank 10 where r₃ is radius of centers of cogs of paired lantern wheels relative to cut epicycloid wheel. Adjustment of r₃ is provided by changing wheels 2, 3, 4. Axis of tool 9 is located at distance 1 from axis of face-plate 5 where 1 is eccentricity of noncentroidal lantern wheel gearing. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 1 dwg
