Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spray coating, and in particular to a protective fixture for internal hole spraying and a spray masking method. Background Technology
[0002] Cold spraying is a novel and advanced surface coating technology that utilizes aerodynamic principles. Compressed gas is first heated in a preheating device to become a high-pressure gas at a specific temperature. This gas is then mixed with powder particles and fed into a Laval nozzle, generating a supersonic gas-solid two-phase flow. This causes the powder particles to reach velocities of 400-1200 m / s. Driven by the supersonic airflow, the powder particles impact the substrate at high speed, undergoing intense plastic deformation and depositing on the substrate surface to form a coating. This technology can generate a dense, thick coating on the surface of parts, thereby forming an additive structure. The coating material provides antioxidant and corrosion-resistant properties to the substrate surface.
[0003] In related technologies, during the spraying of tubular parts, it is often necessary to avoid certain areas. To avoid these areas, the areas to be avoided during the spraying process are masked. This is often done by installing a tubular masking component into the inner hole of the tubular part to be sprayed. To prevent the masking component from shaking relative to the part to be sprayed during the spraying process, a masking component with an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the part to be sprayed is selected.
[0004] However, since the outer diameter of the masking part is equal to the inner diameter of the part to be painted, the masking part is difficult to install, which greatly increases the difficulty of painting. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an internal hole spraying protective fixture and a spraying masking method to solve the problem of difficult installation of masking components in related technologies.
[0006] In a first aspect, an internal hole spraying protective fixture is provided, comprising: a shielding member for conforming to the hole wall of a test specimen, the shielding member being bent and extended in a circumferential direction into a barrel shape, the shielding member being rollable; when the two ends of the shielding member are rolled in the circumferential direction so that the two ends of the shielding member overlap, the outer diameter of the shielding member is smaller than the inner diameter of the test specimen; when the shielding member is placed in the hole of the test specimen and the two ends of the shielding member are loosened, the end faces of the two ends of the shielding member conform to each other in the circumferential direction, and the shielding member is radially tensioned and conforming to the hole wall of the test specimen.
[0007] In some embodiments, the shielding member has a first end and a second end extending in a circumferential direction, a drive mechanism is fixed inside the first end, and a traction unit is provided inside the second end, the drive mechanism being able to pull the traction unit to curl the shielding member.
[0008] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a motor and a drive gear, the drive gear being connected to the main shaft of the motor; the traction unit is an arc-shaped rack, the arc-shaped rack meshing with the drive gear.
[0009] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism further includes a fixing block with a guide hole, into which the traction unit is inserted.
[0010] In some embodiments, a limiting block is provided at the end of the traction unit away from the second end. The limiting block is located on the side of the fixing block away from the second end, and the outer contour dimension of the limiting block is larger than the inner diameter of the guide hole.
[0011] In some embodiments, the first end is provided with at least two drive mechanisms, and the second end is provided with a corresponding number of traction units, and the traction units are arranged in parallel to each other.
[0012] In some embodiments, the end face of the first end is a first guide slope, and the end face of the second end is a second guide slope; when the driving mechanism pulls the traction unit, the first guide slope slides along the second guide slope to guide the first end and the second end to overlap.
[0013] In some embodiments, anti-stick chamfers are provided at both ends of the shielding member, so that the end of the shielding member 1 forms an angled structure. When the outer wall of the shielding member is in contact with the hole wall of the test piece, the anti-stick chamfer leaves a gap with the hole wall of the test piece.
[0014] In some embodiments, the internal hole spraying protective fixture further includes a vent pipe, which includes a straight pipe section and a tapered pipe section arranged coaxially. The diameter of the tapered pipe section where it connects to the straight pipe section is equal to the diameter of the straight pipe section. The diameter of the tapered pipe section gradually decreases in the direction away from the straight pipe section. The tapered surface of the tapered pipe section is provided with a plurality of spaced vents, which are used to connect to a venting device. When in use, the straight pipe section is sleeved on the outside of the test piece, and the vents communicate with the internal hole of the test piece.
[0015] In some embodiments, a fixed flange is provided at the end of the straight pipe section away from the tapered pipe section, the fixed flange being used for bolt connection with the mounting flange of the specimen.
[0016] Secondly, a spray masking method using the above-mentioned internal hole spraying protective fixture is provided, comprising the following steps: curling the two circumferential ends of the masking member in the circumferential direction so that the two circumferential ends of the masking member overlap and the outer diameter of the masking member is smaller than the inner diameter of the test piece; extending the curled masking member to the masking area of the inner hole of the test piece; loosening the two circumferential ends of the masking member so that the masking member is stretched tightly against the hole wall of the test piece radially outward.
[0017] In some embodiments, the inner hole spraying protective fixture includes a vent pipe, and the spraying masking method further includes: fitting a straight section of the vent pipe over the specimen; connecting the venting device to the vent provided on the conical surface of the conical pipe section; and venting the venting device to the vent and spraying the inner hole of the specimen.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention include:
[0019] This invention provides an internal hole spraying protective fixture and a spraying masking method. When the masking component is installed in the internal hole of a test specimen, it stretches radially outward and tightly adheres to the hole wall, achieving masking of the specimen during spraying. The masking component can be rolled up; the outer diameter of the rolled-up masking component is smaller than the inner diameter of the test specimen. During installation, the masking component can be rolled up first, then extended to the area to be masked within the internal hole of the test specimen, and finally expanded outward to fit against the hole wall, thus completing the installation. The installation process is simpler compared to masking components with a fixed diameter, improving spraying efficiency. Therefore, it reduces the difficulty of masking component installation and improves spraying efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] This invention provides an internal hole spraying protective fixture and spraying masking method, which can solve the problem of difficult installation of masking parts in related technologies.
[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an internal hole spraying protective fixture, which may include: a shielding member 1 for adhering to the hole wall of a test specimen 3. The shielding member 1 is bent and extended in a barrel shape in the circumferential direction, and the shielding member 1 is rollable. When the two ends of the shielding member 1 are rolled in the circumferential direction so that the two ends of the shielding member 1 overlap, the outer diameter of the shielding member 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the test specimen 3. When the shielding member 1 is placed in the hole of the test specimen 3 and the two ends of the shielding member 1 are loosened, the end faces of the two ends of the shielding member 1 are adhered to each other in the circumferential direction, and the shielding member 1 is radially tensioned and adhered to the hole wall of the test specimen 3. That is to say, by radially tensioning and adhering to the hole wall of the test specimen 3, when spraying the internal hole of the test specimen 3, the shielding member 1 can prevent the sprayed powder particles from adhering to the shielded area of the test specimen 3, thus preventing the entire internal hole of the test specimen 3 from being sprayed. Compared to a tubular shielding structure with the same inner diameter as the specimen 3, the shielding member 1 can be rolled up. When it needs to be installed in the inner hole of the specimen 3, the shielding member 1 can be rolled up circumferentially at both ends, with the two ends overlapping each other. The outer diameter of the rolled-up shielding member 1 is reduced, making it relatively easy to insert into the inner hole of the specimen 3. When the shielding member 1 reaches the area to be shielded in the specimen 3, the two ends of the shielding member 1 are loosened. Driven by its own elasticity, the two ends of the shielding member 1 are stretched outward, and the outer wall of the shielding member 1 is stretched and adhered to the hole wall of the specimen 3. This achieves the fixation of the shielding member 1. The installation process of the shielding member 1 is simple, reducing the difficulty of installing the inner hole shielding structure. In this embodiment, the shielding member 1 can be rolled up circumferentially by manual compression, or the shielding member 1 can be rolled up circumferentially by the drive mechanism 11 pulling the traction unit 12.
[0030] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, in some optional embodiments, the shielding member 1 has a first end and a second end extending circumferentially. A drive mechanism 11 is fixed to the inner side of the first end, and a traction unit 12 is provided on the inner side of the second end. The drive mechanism 11 can pull the traction unit 12 to curl the shielding member 1. That is, by pulling the traction unit 12 fixed to the second end through the drive mechanism 11 fixed to the inner side of the first end, the second end is pulled closer to the drive mechanism 11, thereby achieving circumferential curling of the shielding member 1. Compared with manual curling, this reduces the workload of workers installing the shielding member 1. The traction unit 12 can be a rope, which is wound around the shielding member 1 by the drive mechanism 11 to achieve curling of the shielding member 1. The traction unit 12 can also be a rack and pinion, which is driven by a gear on the drive mechanism 11 to move the traction unit 12, thereby achieving curling of the shielding member 1.
[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the drive mechanism 11 includes a motor and a drive gear 111, the drive gear 111 being connected to the main shaft of the motor; the traction unit 12 is an arc-shaped rack, which meshes with the drive gear 111. By setting the traction unit 12 as an arc-shaped rack, and using the drive gear 111 of the drive mechanism 11 to drive the arc-shaped rack to move, the forward and reverse rotation of the motor can be used to adjust the movement direction of the traction unit 12, thereby controlling the curling and uncurling of the shielding member 1. A remote control module can be installed on the drive mechanism 11, allowing the operator to remotely control the rotation of the motor to achieve the curling of the shielding member 1, reducing the difficulty of operation for the operator.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the drive mechanism 11 further includes a fixing block 112, which has a guide hole 113, into which the traction unit 12 is inserted. By providing a guide hole 113 on the fixing block 112 and inserting the traction unit 12 into the guide hole 113, the direction of movement of the traction unit 12 can be restricted using the guide hole 113. In this embodiment, the guide hole 113 is a hole extending circumferentially along the axis of the shielding member 1. By providing a circumferentially extending guide hole 113, the traction unit 12 can be guided to move circumferentially, preventing the traction unit 12 from detaching from the drive mechanism 11 during the curling process due to axial deflection.
[0033] See Figure 2As shown, in some optional embodiments, a limiting block 13 is provided at the end of the traction unit 12 away from the second end. The limiting block 13 is located on the side of the fixing block 112 away from the second end, and the outer contour dimension of the limiting block 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide hole 113. By fixing the traction unit 12 to the end of the limiting block 13 with an outer contour dimension larger than the inner diameter of the guide hole 113, the traction unit 12 can be prevented from disengaging from the guide hole 113. Excessive circumferential expansion of the shielding member 1 is also prevented.
[0034] See Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the first end is provided with at least two of the aforementioned driving mechanisms 11, and the second end is provided with a corresponding number of traction units 12, with the traction units 12 arranged parallel to each other. The parallel arrangement of the traction units 12 better restricts the curling direction of the shielding member 1. By simultaneously pulling the corresponding traction units 12 through the two driving mechanisms 11, in this embodiment, the first end is provided with two driving mechanisms 11, and the two driving mechanisms 11 are respectively located at both ends of the first end along the axial direction of the shielding member 1. In other embodiments, a greater number of traction units 12 can be provided to achieve the curling of the shielding member 1.
[0035] See Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the end face of the first end is a first guide slope 14, and the end face of the second end is a second guide slope 15. When the driving mechanism 11 pulls the traction unit 12, the first guide slope 14 slides along the second guide slope 15 to guide the first end and the second end to overlap. By setting the circumferential ends of the shielding member 1 as matching guide slopes, the difficulty of the circumferential ends overlapping during the curling process is reduced.
[0036] Preferably, anti-stick chamfers 16 are provided at both axial ends of the shielding member 1, forming an angled structure at the end of the shielding member 1. When the outer wall of the shielding member 1 is in contact with the hole wall of the specimen 3, the anti-stick chamfers 16 of the shielding member 1 have a gap with the hole wall of the specimen 3 due to the angled structure. There is a 2mm height difference between the angled structure and the hole wall of the specimen 3. During the spraying process, the paint will not stick the end of the shielding member 1 to the inner wall of the specimen 3. This facilitates the subsequent disassembly of the shielding member 1.
[0037] See Figure 1As shown, in some optional embodiments, the internal hole spraying protective fixture further includes a vent pipe 2. The vent pipe 2 includes a straight pipe section 21 and a tapered pipe section 22 arranged coaxially. The diameter of the tapered pipe section 22 at the connection with the straight pipe section 21 is equal to the diameter of the straight pipe section 21. The diameter of the tapered pipe section 22 gradually decreases in the direction away from the straight pipe section 21. The tapered surface of the tapered pipe section 22 is provided with several spaced vents 23, which are used to connect to a ventilation device. When in use, the straight pipe section 21 is sleeved on the outside of the test piece 3, and the vents 23 communicate with the internal hole of the test piece 3. That is, by installing the vent pipe 2 on the outside of the test piece 3, air is vented to the test piece 3 through the vents 23 of the tapered pipe section 22 during spraying, thereby achieving cold spraying of the internal hole of the test piece 3. Since the vents 23 are located on the tapered pipe section 22 with a gradually decreasing diameter, and the tapered pipe section 22 is coaxially arranged with the straight pipe section 21. This allows the spraying material to be sprayed at an angle towards the axis of specimen 3 during ventilation, reducing adhesion to the ends of specimen 3.
[0038] In this embodiment, a fixed flange 24 is provided at the end of the straight pipe section 21 away from the tapered pipe section 22. The vent pipe 2 is installed on the test specimen 3 by fixing the fixed flange 24 to the mounting flange 31 of the test specimen 3. The fixed flange 24 is fixedly connected to the mounting flange 31 by bolts.
[0039] This invention also provides a spray masking method using the aforementioned internal hole spraying protective fixture, comprising the following steps: circumferentially curling the two ends of the masking member 1 so that the two ends overlap, with the outer diameter of the masking member 1 being smaller than the inner diameter of the specimen 3; extending the curled masking member 1 into the masking area of the inner hole of the specimen 3; loosening the two ends of the masking member 1 circumferentially, so that the masking member 1 is stretched radially outward and adhered to the hole wall of the specimen 3. By circumferentially curling the masking member 1, the radius of the flexible masking member 1 is reduced, making it easy to extend the masking member 1 into the masking area of the inner hole of the specimen 3. By loosening the two ends of the masking member 1 circumferentially, the masking member 1 returns to its original position under its own elastic drive, with its outer diameter equal to the hole diameter of the specimen 3, and the masking member 1 adheres to the hole wall of the specimen 3 under its own elastic tension. This allows the masking member 1 to achieve the effect of masking part of the inner wall of the specimen 3. Compared to other masking components, this method provides a spray masking method that is easier to install, and can improve the efficiency of installation and disassembly before and after spraying.
[0040] The spray masking method also includes: fitting the straight section 21 of the vent pipe 2 over the specimen 3; connecting the venting device to the vent 23 on the conical surface of the conical section 22; and venting the venting device through the vent 23 and spraying the coating into the inner hole of the specimen 3. By using the vent pipe 2 to achieve spraying between the venting device and the inner hole of the specimen 3, the spraying direction can be guided, reducing leakage of the sprayed material.
