Gear
A gear in which forged chamfered portions are formed on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between tooth bottom lands, tooth flanks, and a tooth tip land of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear, and which does not need machining such as cutting to remove burrs caused by hobbing in the conventional techniques.
1 . A gear, wherein
forged chamfered portions are formed on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between tooth bottom lands, tooth flanks, and a tooth tip land of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear.
2 . The gear according to claim 1 , wherein
forged chamfered portions are further formed on straight ridge line portions between the tooth bottom lands and the tooth flanks of the gear.
3 . The gear according to claim 2 , wherein
forged chamfered portions are further formed on straight ridge line portions between the tooth flanks and the tooth tip land of the gear.
4 . The gear according to claim 2 , wherein
forged chamfered portions are further formed on ridge line portions at intersections between said forged chamfered portions between the tooth bottom lands and the tooth flanks of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear.
5 . The gear according to claim 3 , wherein
forged chamfered portions are further formed on ridge line portions at intersections between said forged chamfered portions between the tooth flanks and the tooth tip land of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear.
6 . The gear according to claim 5 , wherein
said forged chamfered portions formed on ridge line portions at intersections between the tooth bottom lands, the tooth flanks, and the tooth tip land of the gear and the end faces in the axial direction of the gear are respectively formed by round chamfering.
7 . The gear according to claim 6 , wherein
the curvatures of said round chamfering are different from each other.
8 . The gear according to claim 7 , wherein
joint portions between forged chamfered portions adjacent to each other formed on ridge line portions at intersections between the tooth bottom lands, the tooth flanks, and the tooth tip land of the gear and the end faces in the axial direction of the gear are formed at a curvature that is gradually changed.
9 . The gear according to claim 8 , wherein
the gear is formed by forging a material shaped so as to increase a tooth width of the gear toward the tooth tip, and inserted into a die having chamfered portions for forge-shaping chamfered portions on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between the tooth bottom lands, the tooth flanks, and the tooth tip land and end faces in the axial direction of the gear.
10 . A gear, wherein
round forged chamfered portions are formed on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between tooth bottom lands, tooth flanks, and a tooth tip land of the gear to be shaped by forging and end faces in the axial direction of the gear.
11 . The gear according to claim 5 , wherein
the respective chamfered portions formed on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between the tooth bottom lands, the tooth flanks, and the tooth tip land of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear are formed by round chamfering at a predetermined constant curvature.
12 . The gear according to claim 7 , wherein
joint portions between chamfered portions adjacent to each other formed on the respective ridge line portions at intersections between the tooth bottom lands, the tooth flanks, and the tooth tip land of the gear and end faces in the axial direction of the gear are formed by round chamfering at a predetermined constant curvature.
