Method and device for removing a secondary burr on an end-cut work piece wheel
A method and a device for removing secondary burrs raised on the tooth flanks of a work piece wheel by a chamfering of the end tooth edges of said work piece wheel provides a tool wheel that rotationally meshes with the work piece wheel. Said tool wheel has cutting edges on its tooth flanks ( 5, 6 ) and their cutting motion, caused by the meshing, removes the secondary burrs by cutting.
1. Method for removing a secondary burr on a toothed work piece wheel which is created by the reworking of an end tooth edge of a tooth into a chamfer that connects an end face of the tooth and a tooth flank of the tooth, said secondary burr being located in a peripheral zone of the tooth flank adjacent to said chamfer, said method comprising:
rotationally meshing tooth flanks of the work piece wheel with tooth flanks of a toothed tool wheel, wherein the secondary burr is removed from the peripheral zone of the tooth flanks of the work piece by the cutting motion of a cutting edge ( 9 , 10 ) located on a tooth flank ( 5 , 6 ) of the tool wheel, said cutting motion being created by the meshing of the peripheral zone of the tooth flanks of the work piece wheel with tooth flanks of the toothed tool wheel.
2. Device for removing a secondary burr on a toothed work piece wheel, said device comprising:
a toothed tool wheel having tooth flanks ( 5 , 6 ) capable of rotationally meshing with the tooth flanks of the work piece wheel and removing secondary burrs from said tooth flanks, wherein a cutting edge ( 9 , 10 ) extending in the direction of the width of the tooth face is located on a tooth flank ( 5 , 6 ) of the tool wheel in a zone of the flank that meshes with the peripheral zone of a tooth flank of the work piece wheel,
wherein the cutting edge ( 9 , 10 ) is formed by a section of an edge ( 8 ) of a recess ( 7 ) of the tooth ( 2 ) of the tool wheel, which is delimited by the tooth flank ( 5 , 6 ) and open toward the tooth flank, said recess ( 7 ) being located in an end ( 3 , 4 ) of a tooth ( 2 ).
3. Device in accordance with claim 2 characterized in that the tooth flanks ( 5 , 6 ) of the tool wheel are concave in the direction of the width of the tooth face.
4. Device in accordance with claim 2 characterized in that the tooth flank ( 5 , 6 ) of the tool wheel has a plurality of cutting edges ( 9 , 10 ) spaced in the direction of the depth of the teeth.
5. Device in accordance with claim 2 characterized in that each recess ( 7 ) is open toward the adjacent end ( 3 ) of the tooth ( 2 ) of the tool wheel and extends from the left flank ( 5 ) of the tooth ( 2 ) to its right flank ( 6 ).
6. Device in accordance with claim 5 characterized in that the recesses ( 7 ) are positioned transversely on a thread of a spiral.
7. Device in accordance with claim 6 characterized in that the spiral is multi-threaded.
8. Device in accordance with claim 5 characterized in that the toothing of a tool wheel is an external spur toothing delimited by two radial end faces ( 3 , 4 ) of the tool wheel.
9. Device in accordance with claim 8 characterized in that the recesses ( 7 ) are provided on only one of the two end faces ( 3 ) and that the other end face ( 4 ) is planar.
10. Device in accordance with claim 8 characterized in that the recesses ( 7 ) are provided on both end faces ( 3 , 4 ).
