Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of centrifugal compressor technology and relates to a measuring tool for the width of the air outlet of a closed welded impeller. Background Technology

[0002] The impeller is the core component of a centrifugal compressor. For welded impellers, due to the lack of dedicated measuring tools for the process, vernier calipers are currently commonly used for measurement. However, due to their structure, measurement is inconvenient and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, the dimensional deviation of the impeller outlet width has a direct impact on the performance of the fan equipment.

[0003] After the impeller is welded together, its air outlet is formed. After stress relief through welding and heat treatment, the width of the closed-type welded impeller air outlet will change accordingly. For hidden dimensions such as the impeller air outlet width that exist during the manufacturing process, to achieve process control of critical steps, it is necessary to promptly and effectively handle any dimensional deviations found in the relevant process in order to improve the manufacturing quality of the centrifugal compressor impeller. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a measuring tool for the width of the air outlet of a closed-type welded impeller, thereby solving the problem that there is a lack of dedicated measuring tools for the width of the air outlet of closed-type welded impellers during the manufacturing process.

The measuring component includes a fixing block, a positioning seat, and a measuring rod. The fixing block is fixed to the measuring claws, and the measuring rod is fitted onto the positioning seat and connected to the fixing block. The end of the measuring rod, in conjunction with the positioning seat, measures the width of the air outlet.

[0006] The fixing block is saddle-shaped; a straight groove is opened in the middle of the fixing block, and the two sides of the straight groove are support feet. A through hole is opened in the horizontal part corresponding to the straight groove, and an adjustment knob is installed in the through hole; the two support feet of the fixing block have a first square hole near the end for connecting with the measuring rod; the fixing block is connected to the measuring claw of the main scale through the straight groove and is tightened by adjusting the knob.

[0007] The measuring rod consists of a square rod and a boss. One end of the square rod is connected to the first square hole of the fixing block, and the other end of the boss has a chamfer. The boss contacts the wheel cover and the surface of the wheel disc.

[0008] The positioning seat consists of a square slider and a vertical rod; the square slider has a second square hole, through which the positioning seat is connected to the measuring rod; the square slider also has a through hole arranged at 90° with the second square hole, and an adjustment knob is installed in the through hole; the vertical rod is located at one end of the positioning seat and is arranged perpendicular to the measuring rod, and the side of the vertical rod contacts the outer arc surface of the wheel cover and the wheel disc.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown: A measuring tool for measuring the width of the air outlet of a closed-type welded impeller includes a main scale 1 and a measuring component mounted on two measuring claws of the main scale 1. The end of the measuring component is placed at the air outlet of the impeller between the impeller disc and the impeller cover. The measuring component includes a fixing block 2, a positioning seat 3, and a measuring rod 4. The fixing block 2 is fixed on the measuring claws, and the measuring rod 4 is fitted onto the positioning seat 3 and connected to the fixing block 2. The end of the measuring rod 4 cooperates with the positioning seat 3 to measure the width of the air outlet.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing block 2 is saddle-shaped; a straight groove 2-1 is opened in the middle of the fixing block 2, and the two sides of the straight groove 2-1 are support feet. A through hole is opened on the horizontal part corresponding to the straight groove 2-1, and an adjustment knob is set at the through hole; the two support feet of the fixing block 2 are each opened near the end with a first square hole 2-2 for connecting with the measuring rod 4; the fixing block 2 is connected to the measuring claw of the main scale 1 through the straight groove 2-1 and is tightened by adjusting the knob.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the measuring rod 4 consists of a square rod 4-2 and a boss. One end of the square rod 4-2 is connected to the first square hole 2-2 of the fixing block 2, and the other end of the boss has a chamfer 4-1. The boss is in contact with the surface of the wheel cover or wheel disc.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the positioning seat 3 consists of a square slider and a vertical rod; the square slider has a second square hole 3-1, and the positioning seat 3 is sleeved with the measuring rod 4 through the second square hole 3-1; the square slider also has a through hole arranged at 90° with the second square hole 3-1, and an adjustment knob is set at the through hole; the vertical rod is located at one end of the positioning seat 3 and is arranged perpendicular to the measuring rod 4, and the side of the vertical rod contacts the outer arc surface of the wheel cover or wheel disc.

[0032] like Figure 5-6 As shown, when using this measuring tool to measure the width of the impeller outlet, the following steps are included:

[0033] 1. When the impeller is welded and the air outlet is formed, the values ​​of a and b need to be determined first based on the actual outer diameter of the impeller disc and cover of the impeller to be tested;

[0034] 2. Place the positioning seat 3 on the measuring rod 4 connected to the fixed measuring claw on the main scale 1 against the outer circle of the wheel, and then slowly move the boss of the measuring rod 4 to contact the inner surface of the wheel;
