Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gas turbine manufacturing, and particularly relates to a welding device and method for a fan-shaped ear seat of a gas turbine. Background Art

[0002] For a power turbine bearing housing of a certain gas turbine, two groups of cantilever fan-shaped ear seats are welded at the middle part of the outer wall of the casing, near the small end, with 9 at each group. The welding thickness of the front ear seat is 26 mm, and the welding thickness of the rear ear seat is 6 mm. After welding, 100% radiographic inspection of the weld seam is required.

[0003] The materials of the fan-shaped ear seat and the bearing housing casing are both 1Cr12Ni3MoVN martensitic stainless steel. This material has high strength and a large hardening tendency, and is prone to cold cracks, so manual argon arc welding is used for welding. In the structural design of the casing, the front and rear ear seats are welded on the flange of the outer wall of the bearing housing casing. Except for the weld seam, there is no other rigid connection between the ear seat and the casing in the axial and radial directions. Due to the special nature of the casing structure, the assembly deviation and welding deformation of the two groups of ear seats need to be controlled within 5 mm to meet the subsequent processing requirements. When welding, the method of backing welding on the front side and root cleaning on the back side is adopted. The heat input in the welding area is relatively large, and when welding on the front and back sides, the welding deformation is not easy to control, resulting in the front and rear ear seats deforming in different directions after welding. The 9 fan-shaped segments on the same circumference are distributed in a wavy shape on the circumferential surface, and the post-welding shape correction is difficult, seriously affecting the processing quality of the bearing housing. During backing welding, the oxidation on the back side of the weld seam is serious, and it is necessary to grind and clean the root to completely remove the oxidation defects of the weld seam before welding, which not only increases the welding heat input and aggravates the welding deformation, but also affects the first-pass rate of 100% radiographic inspection of the weld seam at this place.

[0012] Further, the height of the second support is the same as the height of the second flat-layer ear seat on the gas turbine bearing.

[0013] Further, the pressing plate assembly includes a pressing plate and bolts;

[0014] Through holes are provided on the pressing plate;

[0015] The bolts pass through the through holes and are threadedly connected to the base.

[0016] Further, both the first clamping member and the second clamping member include a clamping table, a positioning pin and a pressing plate;

[0017] One side of the clamping table is fixedly connected to the first support, and the other side is a free end. A positioning table is provided on one side of the clamping table;

[0018] The positioning pin is fixedly arranged on the clamping table;

[0019] The pressing plate is located on one side of the clamping table, and the pressing plate is threadedly connected to the clamping table through a screw rod.

[0020] Further, the number of the positioning pins is two, and the two positioning pins are spaced apart on the clamping table.

[0021] Further, the welding steady flow unit is a box structure with one side open. Arc-shaped notches corresponding to the arc of the sector ear seat are provided on two side surfaces of the opening of the box structure. A partition parallel to the bottom surface of the box is provided inside the box structure. A number of uniformly distributed through holes are provided on the partition. An air vent is opened at the bottom of the rectangular box.

[0022] A method for using a welding device for a fan-shaped ear seat of a gas turbine bearing, including fixedly arranging a gas turbine bearing on a base and fixing the gas turbine bearing through a pressing plate assembly. A first support is arranged on the first support bayonet of the base, a second support is fixedly connected to the first support, and a first clamping member for clamping the first flat-layer ear seat of the gas turbine bearing and a second clamping member for clamping the second flat-layer ear seat of the gas turbine bearing are respectively arranged on the first support. Through the clamping of the first clamping member and the second clamping member on the fan-shaped ear seat, the positioning and fixing during the welding of the fan-shaped ear seat are completed. During welding, the welding current stabilizing unit is connected to an external welding unit, and the welding current stabilizing unit is attached to the lower part of the fan-shaped ear seat of the gas turbine bearing to complete the welding of the fan-shaped ear seat.

[0023] Further, after the fan-shaped ear seat is clamped, a preset distance of 3 mm is provided between the welding end of the fan-shaped ear seat and the circumference of the gas turbine bearing.

[0024] Further, when the fan-shaped ear seat is clamped on the first clamping member and the second clamping member, a preset distance of 2.5 mm is provided between the bottom surface of the fan-shaped ear seat and the bottom surfaces of the first ear seat and the second ear seat.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] The welding device for the fan-shaped ear seat of the gas turbine of the present invention fixes the gas turbine bearing on the base through a pressing plate assembly, and sets a first support bayonet corresponding to the axial position and quantity of the fan-shaped ear seat of the gas turbine bearing on the base. A first support is arranged on the first support bayonet, a second support is arranged on the first support, and a structure of a first clamping member and a second clamping member is respectively arranged inside the first support and the second support. When the fan-shaped ear seat is welded, the positioning of the welded fan-shaped ear seat can be achieved through the first clamping member and the second clamping member on the first support and the second support, avoiding the alignment before welding. At the same time, the welded fan-shaped ear seat can be clamped through the first clamping member and the second clamping member, ensuring that the height of the welded fan-shaped ear seat from the base is the same, and the distance between the welded fan-shaped ear seat and the circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing is certain, thereby ensuring the identity among multiple welded fan-shaped ear seats. Through the clamping of the clamping member, it can be ensured that the fan-shaped ear seat does not shake during welding, reducing the welding deformation caused by the shaking of the fan-shaped ear seat during the welding process, which leads to low welding accuracy. At the same time, through the structure of the welding current stabilizing unit connected to the external welding device, when the external welding unit introduces inert gas for welding, the welding current stabilizing unit can disperse the input inert gas required for welding, avoiding the problems of insecure welding materials at the welding position or gaps between welds caused by too strong and concentrated input gas, resulting in low first-pass rate of welds.

[0027] Further, by setting the height of the first support to be the same as the height of the first flat-layer ear seat on the gas turbine bearing, and the height of the second support to be the same as the height of the second flat-layer ear seat on the gas turbine bearing, the height of each sector ear seat to be welded is made consistent on the first flat layer and the second flat layer of the gas turbine bearing, further ensuring the identity of welding and reducing the height deviation and position deviation during welding.

[0028] Further, through the structure of the pressing plate assembly of the pressing plate and the bolt, the gas turbine bearing can be quickly fixed and removed through the pressing plate and the bolt, improving the efficiency of fixing the gas turbine bearing during welding.

[0029] Further, by setting a clamping table on the first clamping part and the second clamping part, and setting a positioning table on the clamping table, the sector ear seat to be welded can be radially positioned through the positioning table. By setting a positioning pin on the clamping table, the axial positioning of the sector ear seat can be achieved through the positioning pin, avoiding the movement of the sector ear seat in the axial and radial directions during the welding process, ensuring the identity of the welding positions and heights of the multiple sector ear seats to be welded, and further ensuring the welding accuracy.

[0030] Further, by the structure of arranging two positioning pins at intervals on the clamping table, the positioning pin and the positioning table on the clamping table completely position the sector ear seat to be welded, further avoiding the problem that the welding deformation amount increases due to the shaking of the sector ear seat, resulting in the reduction of welding accuracy.

[0031] Further, by setting an arc-shaped notch on the welding flow stabilizing unit, the welding flow stabilizing unit can better fit under the sector ear seat; by arranging a partition inside the welding flow stabilizing unit, and evenly arranging a number of through holes on the partition, and setting a ventilation port at the bottom of the welding flow stabilizing unit, the inert gas required during welding can be shunted, so that the inert gas entering the welding flow stabilizing device from the ventilation port is evenly distributed around the sector ear seat, avoiding the problem that the input gas is too concentrated, resulting in gaps between the welding materials or uneven accumulation of the welding materials due to excessive inert gas pressure, causing insecure welding and low first-pass rate of the weld seam.

[0032] Further, during welding, by setting a preset distance of 3 mm between the welding end of the sector ear seat and the circumference of the gas turbine bearing, and setting a preset distance of 2.5 mm between the bottom surface of the sector ear seat and the bottom surfaces of the first ear seat and the second ear seat, the welding materials can fully contact the outer circumferential surfaces of the sector ear seat and the gas turbine bearing, further ensuring the welding effect.

[0049] Specifically, the number of sector lugs 7 to be welded on the gas turbine bearing 6 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is 9, and the sizes and structures of the 9 sector lugs 7 are the same. The 9 sector lugs 7 are evenly distributed on the first flat layer and the second flat layer of the gas turbine bearing 6. The number of the first support bays 5 on the base 1 is correspondingly set to 9, and the positions of the 9 first support bays 5 are exactly the same as the distribution angles and distribution positions of the 9 sector lugs 7 on the gas turbine bearing 6 on the axis, corresponding one by one. Preferably, the number of the first supports 2 and the second supports 3 of the present invention is three. After the three first supports 2 and the second supports 3 are assembled as a whole, they are evenly fixed on the base 1 at intervals. When welding, the whole formed by the three first supports 2 and the second supports 3 is used as a group. First, the sector lugs 7 corresponding to the positions of the three first supports 2 and the second supports 3 on the first flat layer and the second flat layer of the gas turbine bearing 6 are welded. After the three sector lugs 7 on the corresponding first flat layer and the second flat layer are welded respectively, the three first supports 2 connected to the base 1 are disassembled, and the fixed connection between the second support 3 and the first support 2 is maintained, and they are correspondingly shifted to the remaining first support bays 5 where the sector lugs 7 have not been welded and fixed; preferably, the three first supports 2 are respectively arranged on adjacent first support bays 5 to weld the remaining sector lugs 7. With such a setting, on the one hand, the number of the first supports 2 and the second supports 3 is reduced, the weight of the overall welding device is reduced, and the structure of the overall welding device is made more portable. On the other hand, the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved, there is enough welding space for operators to weld, and the welding efficiency is improved.

[0050] Specifically, the height of the first support 2 is the same as the height of the first flat-layer sector lug 7 on the gas turbine bearing 6. Specifically, the height of the second support 3 is the same as the height of the second flat-layer sector lug 7 on the gas turbine bearing 6.

Preferably, the number of the pressing plate assemblies is 9, and the 9 pressing plates are respectively arranged in the same direction on 9 first support bayonets on the base.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, both the first clamping member and the second clamping member include a clamping table 10, a positioning pin 12 and a second pressing plate 13; one side of the clamping table 10 is fixedly connected to the first support 2, and the other side is a free end, and a positioning table 11 is arranged on one side of the clamping table 10; the positioning pin 12 is fixedly arranged on the clamping table 10; the second pressing plate 13 is located on one side of the clamping table 10, and the second pressing plate 13 is threadedly connected to the clamping table 10 through a screw rod 16.

With such a setting, the two positioning pins 12 and one positioning table 11 on the clamping table 10 can three-point position the sector lug 7 to be welded, so that the sector lug 7 to be welded can realize the radial positioning of the sector lug 7 through the positioning table 11, and through the structure of arranging the positioning pins 12 on the clamping table 10, the axial positioning of the sector lug 7 can be realized through the positioning pins 12, avoiding the movement of the sector lug 7 in the axial and radial directions during the welding process, ensuring the identity of the welding positions and heights of the welded multiple sector lugs 7, and further ensuring the welding precision.

Preferably, the partition 14 and the welding current stabilizing unit 4 are fixedly connected by means of threads or welding.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] A method for using a welding device for a sector ear seat of a gas turbine bearing includes fixedly arranging a gas turbine bearing 6 on a base 1 and fixing the gas turbine bearing 6 through a pressing plate assembly. A first support 2 is arranged on the first support bayonet 5 of the base 1. A second support 3 is fixedly connected to the first support 2. A first clamping member for clamping the first flat-layer sector ear seat 7 of the gas turbine bearing 6 and a second clamping member for clamping the second flat-layer sector ear seat 7 of the gas turbine bearing 6 are respectively arranged on the first support 2. Through the clamping of the sector ear seat 7 by the first clamping member and the second clamping member, the positioning and fixing of the sector ear seat 7 during welding are completed. During welding, the welding current stabilizing unit 4 is connected to an external welding unit, and the welding current stabilizing unit 4 is attached to the lower side of the sector ear seat 7 of the gas turbine bearing 6 to complete the welding of the sector ear seat 7.

[0058] Preferably, after the sector ear seat 7 is clamped, a preset distance of 3 mm is set between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6. The following table shows the statistical data of the test results between the different distances set between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6 and the weld repair rate during the test process.

[0059] Number of tests Butt joint clearance (mm) Average repair rate of weld seam (%) Test 1 1 50% Test 2 1.5 38% Test 3 2 26.8% Test 4 2.5 17.5% Test 5 3 10% Test 6 3.5 15% Test 7 4 27% Test 8 4.5 30%

[0060] As can be seen from the above table, taking the distance between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6 as a single variable, it can be obtained that when the preset distance between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6 is set to 3 mm, the repair rate of the weld seam is the lowest, which is 10%. When the preset distance between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6 increases or decreases, the repair rate of the weld seam increases. Therefore, it is preferred that the preset distance between the welding end of the sector ear seat 7 and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing 6 is 3 mm, so as to reduce the repair rate of the weld seam and improve the first-pass qualification rate of detection.

[0061] Specifically, when the sector ear seat 7 is clamped on the first clamping part and the second clamping part, a preset distance of 2.5 mm is provided between the bottom surface of the sector ear seat 7 and the bottom surfaces of the first clamping part and the second clamping part. As shown in the following table, it is a test data table of the reserved reverse deformation amount between the sector ear seat and the outer circumferential surface of the gas turbine bearing, that is, between the bearing housing, and the height error range of the sector ear seat after welding during the manufacture of the gas turbine bearing.

[0062] Number of tests Reserved reverse deformation amount (mm) Height error range of sector ear seat after welding mm Test 1 1 1.8-2.8 Test 2 1.5 1.1-1.8 Test 3 2 0.7-1.1 Test 4 2.5 0.5-0.7 Test 5 3 0.7-1.2 Test 6 3.5 1.2-2.1 Test 7 4 2.1-3.2 Test 8 4.5 3.2-4 Test 9 0 2-3

[0063] Specifically, taking the test data of the first-piece manufacture of the gas turbine bearing in this preferred embodiment as an example, the relationship between the height error range of the sector ear seat after welding the bearing housing is illustrated. As can be seen from the above table, when no reverse deformation amount is reserved, when detecting the height dimension of the sector ear seat after welding, it is found that the 9 sector ear seats in the first flat layer all deform towards the tooling base, and the deformation directions of the 9 sector ear seats in the second flat layer are different up and down, and the deformation amounts are all between 2 and 3 mm. According to the comprehensive detection and test results, when the reserved reverse deformation amount is 2.5 mm, the height error range of the sector ear seat after welding the bearing housing is 0.5 - 0.7 mm, and the error range is the smallest, which can effectively control the welding deformation of the sector ear seat.

[0064] Specifically, argon arc welding is used between the sector ear seat of the present invention and the gas turbine bearing. There is a groove in argon arc welding. Specifically, in the welding of the present invention, a full penetration symmetrical form is adopted, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown; the welding groove is designed as a double-sided 60° K-type butt groove, and the thickness of the blunt edge of the groove is 1 mm; the assembly gap between the ear seat and the bearing housing is 3 mm.

[0065] During welding, the following steps are included:

[0066] Preparation before welding:

[0067] Before welding, wipe the ear seats, bearing housings, and welding wires with acetone and cotton cloth to ensure that there are no impurities, oil, rust, or other contaminants at the welding joints. Welding operations should be carried out within 30 minutes after cleaning to avoid the risk of weld contamination; check the cylinder certificate, and the purity of argon should reach 99.99%; the pressure of the argon cylinder should not be less than 0.5 MPa, and the argon can be evenly and stably output during welding; grind the end angle of the tungsten electrode to 35° before welding, and control the distance between the tungsten electrode and the part surface to be 1 - 1.5 mm when starting the arc; control the welding site temperature ≥ 20 °C, relative humidity ≤ 60%, and carry out welding in a working environment with appropriate ventilation conditions;

[0068] Clamp the workpiece:

[0069] Each layer of the bearing housing has a total of 9 sector-shaped ear seats. Using a quick-release ear seat positioning support, 3 ear seats can be assembled and welded in each group, and a total of 3 groups are required to complete the welding of all ear seats. When welding the bottom layer of the initial weld, there will be heat input, resulting in deformation of the sector-shaped parts. When clamping the sector-shaped ear seats, a preset welding reverse deformation amount of 2.5 mm is set (as Figure 5 shown), which cancels out with the weld shrinkage amount to achieve the purpose of controlling part deformation.

[0070] TIG welding positioning

[0071] Use manual TIG welding to position the welds, and use a mandrel with a diameter of . There are 10 evenly distributed positioning welds on each sector segment, each weld with a diameter of 5 - 6 mm and a penetration depth of 2 mm; welding current: 200 - 230 (A).

[0072] Use a protection device for backing welding:

[0073] Use manual TIG welding to carry out backing welding on the welds, welding current: 180 - 200 (A); use a back protection device (as Figure 6 shown) and pass argon to protect the back of the weld to avoid oxidation of the back of the weld. A gas flow stabilization structure is set in the back protection device, which is beneficial to the formation of the weld. The parameters of the shielding gas are: pass the shielding gas 0.5 - 1 s in advance before the welding torch starts to arc, and stop the gas 8 - 10 s after the arc is extinguished. The argon flow rate of the welding torch: 10 - 15 (L / min), the argon flow rate of the back protection tooling: 12 - 15 (L / min);

[0074] Multi-layer filling welding on the front and back sides:

[0075] Clean the oxide layer on the back of the backing weld with a wire brush and carry out filling welding with manual TIG welding; welding current 180 - 200 (A), control the interlayer temperature at 150 - 200 degrees Celsius; adopt the method of filling on the front and back sides in turn, with a filling thickness of 3 - 4 mm for each layer, and a total of 6 - 7 layers are filled;

[0076] Final forming capping weld:

[0077] When the thickness of the weld filling is 1 - 2 mm lower than that of the part substrate, manual argon arc welding is used for capping welding; the welding current is 160 - 180 (A), the welding torch makes a Z-shaped swing, the swing frequency is fast, the wire is fed evenly and in small amounts to avoid undercutting and ensure beautiful weld formation.
