  • Patent number: 10307843
    Abstract: Provided is an internal gear grinding method that makes it possible to grind an internal gear having arc-shaped teeth in a short amount of time. To this end, an internal gear having arc-shaped teeth and a threaded grindstone with a barrel shape having blades with a shape corresponding to the arc shape of the teeth are engaged at a predetermined axis intersection angle, and the internal gear and the threaded grindstone are made to rotate in synchronization with each other so that the tooth surface of the internal gear is ground by the blade surface of the threaded grindstone.

  • Patent number: 8998681
    Abstract: Provided is a gear grinding method capable of improving processing accuracy and easily adjusting the crowning shape by simplifying a processing operation. To this end, a work piece (W) is ground by a gear-shaped grinding stone (11) having a drum shape such that crowning along a tooth trace direction is applied to the work piece (W) by applying a relative feed in a feed direction (D1) that intersects a work piece rotation axis (C1) at a predetermined first diagonal angle (?1) between the work piece (W) and the gear-shaped grinding stone (11) while the work piece (W) and the gear-shaped grinding stone (11) are synchronously rotated in the state of being engaged so as to have a predetermined crossed axes angle (?), and the curvature in a grinding stone width direction, which defines the drum shape of the gear-shaped grinding stone (11), and the first diagonal angle (?1) are set according to the crowning shape of the work piece (W).

  • Publication number: 20140357167
    Abstract: A disk dresser and a dressing method enable high-precision dressing of a drum-shaped gear-like grindstone and shaping of the cutting teeth of the grindstone without changing the shape of the cutting teeth of the disk dresser. A drum-shaped gear-like grindstone is brought into linear contact with a workpiece so as to link with the contours of the tooth right angle cross-section orthogonal to the twist direction of the workpiece teeth. The grindstone and a disk dresser, in an engaged state, are caused to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the drum-shaped grindstone to be dressed by the disk dresser. The disk dresser blade shape is made to match the tooth right angle cross-section shape of the teeth of the ground workpiece. The grindstone and the disk dresser are caused to move and revolve in accordance with the drum shape and the angle of twist of the grindstone.

  • Patent number: 6788932
    Abstract: A data communication system utilizing a cellular phone is composed of a radio base station, a cellular phone having a function of connecting to a network through radio communications with the radio base station to make data communications accompanied by error control using a CRC code, and a terminal connecting to the network by using the data communication function of the cellular phone to make data communications, wherein, when a message frame which is an error frame having a different CRC code is received from the radio base station, the cellular phone takes out and stores the data contained in the message frame and reproduces the thus stored data to output the data.
