A peritrochoid curved surface generating apparatus comprises an outer cylinder rotatably supported on a frame, a first central shaft rotatably journalled in the rotating axis of the outer cylinder, an inner cylinder adjustably fixed within an eccentric opening of the outer cylinder, an inner cylinder central shaft rotatably journalled in an axis of the inner cylinder, a second central shaft rotatably journalled in an eccentric opening of the inner cylinder and supporting a work table, a gear train for transmitting the rotation of the first central shaft to the second central shaft through the inner cylinder central shaft, a cylindrical tool rotatable about its axis and a rocking device supporting the tool and rockable in synchronism with the rotation of the outer cylinder. A distance between the first and second shafts is adjustable and a rocking angle of the rocking device is also adjustable, so that the apparatus can be used for generating various peritrochoid curved surfaces different in configuration without any interference between a tool and a workpiece.
A peritrochoid curve surface generating apparatus comprising an outer cylinder rotatably supported by a frame on a base and formed in its upper end with an eccentric opening, an inner cylinder formed with an eccentric opening eccentric to its axis and accommodated within and fixed to said eccentric opening of said outer cylinder in an adjustable angular relationship therebetween, the outer cylinder defining a base circle and the inner cylinder defining a rolling circle for the peritroichoidal curved surface, each of said base and rolling circles having a radius, rotation of the inner cylinder relative to the outer cylinder changing a difference between radii of the base and rolling circles for the peritrochoid curved surface to vary its characteristic, clamping means for clamping said inner cylinder to said outer cylinder, a first central shaft rotatably journaled in an axis of said outer cylinder, an inner cylinder central shaft rotatably journaled in an axis of said inner cylinder, a second central shaft rotatably journaled in said eccentric opening of said inner cylinder, a work table fixed to an upper end of said second central shaft, a gear train for transmitting a rotation of said first central shaft to said second central shaft through said inner cylinder central shaft, rocking means rockable within a predetermined angle about a predetermined point, a cylindrical tool rotatable about its axis and mounted on said rocking means, the circumference of said tool being in contact with the rocking axis of said rocking means, and means for driving said outer cylinder and said inner cylinder in a determined geared relation and rocking said rocking means in a geared relation to the rotation of said outer cylinder.
