Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rapid prototyping, and in particular relates to a train wheel plasma 3D printing remanufacturing equipment and method. Background technique [0002] The rim of the train wheel is prone to wear during the operation of the train, especially when turning; when the rim of the train wheel is worn to a certain extent, the stable operation of the train cannot be guaranteed, so that the whole train wheel pair is scrapped and replaced with a new train wheel pair. In order to reduce costs and improve resource utilization, surfacing welding is currently used to remanufacture the rims of train wheels with oversized dimensions. [0003] When using the surfacing welding method to manufacture the rim of the train wheel, there are mainly the following three problems: [0004] First, surfacing welding requires preheating and subsequent heat treatment of the train wheels, which requires the train wheels to be disassembled...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] First, surfacing welding requires preheating and subsequent heat treatment of the train wheels, which requires the train wheels to be disassembled from the train wheel set. Because the equipment of the wheels and shafts is to expand by heating the wheels, then insert them into the shafts and cool them down. The rear shrinkage is firmly combined. Therefore, the disassembly process of the wheel and axle is complicated and special tools must be used, and the disassembly cost is high. At the same time, disassembly and reassembly will inevitably affect the reliability of the train wheel set;

[0005] Second, surfacing welding requires preheating and subsequent heat treatment of the train wheel, and the bearing needs to be disassembled from the shaft. The disassembly process of the bearing is complicated and special tools must be used, and the disassembly cost is high;

[0006] Third, surfacing welding requires preheating and subsequent heat treatment of train wheels, dismantling of wheels and bearings, complex manufacturing proces
