Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for forming spiral blades for vertical mixers, which can process spiral blades of various specifications by changing splined shaft screws, double-ended nuts and forming mold cores with different pitches. It belongs to the field of manufacturing vertical mixer spiral blade forming machines. Background Technology
[0002] CN101342562A, entitled "Helical Blade Winding and Forming Method and Forming Equipment", includes the following steps: (1) Steel strip conveying: the end of the steel strip coil is fed into the guide frame of the helical blade winding and forming equipment; (2) Steel strip end positioning and clamping: one end of the steel strip is fixed on the fixed mold, and the inner side of the steel strip is pressed against the end face of the fixed mold, and its lower lateral side is perpendicular to the surface of the central mandrel of the fixed mold. The moving and fixed molds are closed to clamp the steel strip. (3) The drive shaft of the winding machine rotates, which drives the moving and fixed dies and the steel strip clamped by the moving and fixed dies to rotate. The steel strip is pulled out from the guide frame and wound around the spiral blade with its width perpendicular to the axis of the central mandrel. The spiral blade is fitted on the winding mandrel, and the spiral surfaces overlap each other. During the winding process of the spiral blade, the moving die always clamps the wound spiral blade and moves backward as the number of winding turns of the spiral blade increases. The guide frame moves backward synchronously until the set number of winding turns is reached, and then the drive shaft of the winding machine stops rotating. (4) The spiral blade with the overlapping spiral surfaces is demolded. The moving die moves backward to the position, and the guide frame moves backward with the steel strip inserted in it. First, the steel strip is separated from the fixed die, and then the spiral blade with the overlapping spiral surfaces is separated from the central mandrel of the fixed die. Finally, the steel strip is cut. (6) The spiral blade is finally drawn into shape. The spiral blade with the overlapping spiral surfaces is drawn to the required pitch on a special drawing machine. The patented technical solution involves a rotating spindle and a backward-moving guide wheel to rotate and shape the spiral workpiece. This method is only suitable for manufacturing spiral blades of equal thickness and cannot be applied to the manufacturing of spiral blades of various specifications. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Design objective: To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this paper designs a method for forming vertical mixer spiral blades that can process spiral blades of various specifications by changing splined shaft screws with different pitches and forming mold cores.
[0004] Design Scheme: To achieve the aforementioned design objectives, this invention, based on the prior art, involves a main shaft and forming mold core rising upwards, while guide wheels laterally compress on the right. A motor rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, driving a reducer shaft to rotate, causing the spline drive sleeve to rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise. When the spline drive sleeve rotates counter-clockwise, the forming mold core rises; when it rotates clockwise, the forming mold core descends. This invention, however, involves the main shaft rotating while the guide wheels move backward, rotating the spiral workpiece to form the desired shape.
[0005] Technical Solution: A method for forming a spiral blade for a mixer. The forming mold core is lowered to its lower limit. The spiral blade is inserted into the flat groove of the fixing block. The rotating locking screw is rotated to press the spiral blade tightly. The air source switch is activated to push the slotted roller towards the spiral blade. The spiral blade is locked into the slotted roller groove, serving as a guide. At this point, the cylinder is under full load pressure. The blade is now tightly against the forming mold core. The motor start button is pressed, and the forming mold core rises. Simultaneously, the switch control panel rises. After reaching the upper limit switch, the power is cut off and the blade stops. The slotted roller retracts. After retraction, the motor reverses and descends. When the switch control panel reaches the lower limit switch, the motor stops rotating. The forming mold core is in its lowest initial position. The rotating locking screw is released, and the workpiece is removed, completing the entire spiral workpiece forming process.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the spline shaft screw of the present invention can be designed as a sliding structure within the spline transmission sleeve. By replacing the spline shaft screw with different pitches and the forming mold core, various specifications of helical blades can be processed. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Example 1: Refer to Appendix Figure 1-9 A method for forming a stirrer spiral blade involves lowering the forming mold core 11 to its lower limit, inserting the spiral blade 16 into the flat groove of the fixing block 10, and rotating the locking screw 9 to press the spiral blade 16 tightly. The air supply switch is activated to push the slotted roller 8 towards the spiral blade 16, which then engages with the slotted roller 8 for guidance. At this point, the cylinder is fully loaded with pressure. Pressing the motor start button causes the forming mold core 11 to rise, and simultaneously the switch control panel 4 rises. When it reaches the upper limit switch 14, the power is cut off and the machine stops. The slotted roller 8 retracts, and the motor reverses and descends. When the switch control panel 4 descends to the lower limit switch 15, the motor stops rotating, and the forming mold core 11 is in its lowest initial position. The locking screw 9 is then released, and the workpiece is removed, completing the entire spiral workpiece forming process.
[0018] The equipment used for forming the helical blades of a mixer is a vertical mixer helical blade forming machine. In this machine, a double-ended nut 5 is fixed below the worktable 13. A splined shaft screw 3 is screwed into the double-ended nut 5 for a helical fit. The spline at the lower end of the splined shaft screw 3 passes through a splined transmission sleeve 2 for connection. The splined transmission sleeve 2 is connected to the reducer rotating shaft 1. The forming mold core 11 is installed at the top of the splined shaft screw 3. The motor rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, driving the reducer rotating shaft 1 to rotate, causing the splined transmission sleeve 2 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. When the splined transmission sleeve 2 rotates counterclockwise, the forming mold core 11 rises; when the splined transmission sleeve 2 rotates clockwise, the forming mold core 11 falls.
[0019] The forming core 11 has a fixing block 10 with a flat groove 101. A rotating locking screw 9 is screwed onto the fixing block 10, and the end face of the rotating locking screw 10 is used to lock the spiral sheet 16 located in the flat groove of the fixing block. The forming core 11 is designed to connect to a cylindrical head. The cylindrical head has a through hole 111 drilled in the die direction. A transverse pin is used to bolt the spline shaft 3 to the cylindrical head of the forming core 11. An opening groove 112 is designed at the upper end of the forming core 11 to install the fixing block 10. The fixing block 10 has a flat groove 101 with an angle consistent with the spiral angle of the workpiece. A threaded hole is designed above the center of the flat groove, perpendicular to the plane of the flat groove, and the locking screw 9 is installed in the threaded hole.
[0020] It should be understood that although the above embodiments provide a relatively detailed textual description of the design concept of the present invention, these textual descriptions are merely simple textual descriptions of the design concept of the present invention, and not limitations on the design concept of the present invention. Any combination, addition, or modification that does not exceed the design concept of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
