Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of turbine blade processing technology, and more specifically to an automatic grinding mechanism for the edge of turbine blades. Background Technology
[0002] Steam turbine blades are core components of power plant generator sets, such as various twisted blades, magnetic ring guide blades, and diamond-shaped moving blades. Generally, a blade consists of a root and the leading edge of the blade body. The side walls of both the root and the leading edge are horizontal. However, the side walls of the leading edge and the root of some blades are aligned front to back. After machining, the blades need to be polished to remove burrs. Currently, the side walls of the root are polished manually first, and then the side walls of the leading edge are polished. However, the flatness accuracy of manual polishing is limited, and the amount of manual labor is large. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The side connecting plate of the front and rear moving mechanism 31 is fixed on the inner side wall of all the side legs 13 on the same side. The vertical connecting plate of the vertical moving mechanism 32 is fixed on the side wall of the front and rear moving block of the front and rear moving mechanism 31. The vertical moving mechanism 32 is basically the same as the front and rear moving mechanism 31, except that it is set vertically. Therefore, the vertical moving mechanism 32 will not be described in detail.
[0036] A telescopic frame 34 is fixed on the wall of the vertical lifting block 33 of the vertical moving mechanism 32 near the corresponding side plate 21. An electric push rod 35 is fixed on the outer fixed plate of the telescopic frame 34.

A first connecting plate 37 is fixed in the middle of the inner wall of the connecting block 36. A motor frame 38 is installed on the inner side of the first connecting plate 37. A grinding motor 39 is fixed on the inner wall of the inner side plate of the motor frame 38. The end of the output shaft of the grinding motor 39 extends out of the inner side plate of the motor frame 38 and is fixed with a grinding disc 391.
[0037] Multiple transverse guide screws 381 are fixed on the outer wall of the outer side plate of the motor frame 38. The outer end of the transverse guide screw 381 extends out of the corresponding through hole of the first connecting plate 37 and is screwed with a nut. The nut presses against the outer wall of the first connecting plate 37. The first buffer spring 382 is inserted into the transverse guide screw 381. One end of the first buffer spring 382 is applied to the first connecting plate 37, and the other end of the first buffer spring 382 is applied to the outer side plate of the motor frame 38.
[0038] Furthermore, a proximity switch 3 is fixed in the middle of the inner sidewall of the first connecting plate 37, and a sensing block 4 is fixed in the middle of the outer sidewall of the outer sideplate of the motor frame 38, with the sensing block 4 facing the sensing end of the proximity switch 3.
[0039] Furthermore, a main transverse guide rod 361 is fixed on the outer wall of the connecting block 36, and the main transverse guide rod 361 is inserted into the corresponding transverse guide through hole on the inner fixed plate of the telescopic frame 34. In this embodiment, all electrical equipment is electrically connected to the control host via electrical connection lines, and all hydraulic equipment is connected to the control valve of the hydraulic system via connecting cylinders. This is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting motor 181 is first operated, causing the top ends of the two side plates 21 to extend out of the corresponding through slots 11. At this time, the blade to be processed can be placed between the two side plates 21 to achieve positioning. At the same time, the rear end face of the blade is pressed against the elastic layer fixed on the end face of the suction cover 82. The elastic layer has multiple through holes formed on it, which are connected to and aligned with the corresponding suction through holes. By rotating the limiting suction block 81, the suction cover 82 can be adjusted back and forth for fine adjustment to meet the positioning requirements of the blade during processing.
[0041] The rear end of its rotary joint extends out of the through hole in the middle of the rear support plate 12, which can be connected to the suction pipe connected to the control valve on the suction pump. Therefore, only air needs to be sucked in to adsorb the rear end of the blade, making it difficult for it to move. Then, by pushing with two clamping cylinders 15, the two elastic anti-slip layers 173 are pressed against the top surface of the blade root end and the top surface of the front end of the blade, respectively, to achieve clamping and fixing. During the clamping process, the buffer spring 172 can reduce the impact of the downward pressure, ensuring that the blade is not subjected to excessive impact and ensuring normal subsequent processing.
[0042] Then, the lifting motor 181 operates, causing the two side plates 21 to descend and retract. Then, through the operation of the forward and backward moving mechanism 31 and the vertical moving mechanism 32, the grinding disc 391 can move up and down and forward and backward. The electric push rod 35 operates, adjusting the left and right movement of the grinding disc 391. And through the operation of the grinding motor 39, the grinding disc 391 can rotate, allowing the grinding disc 391 to be pressed tightly against the side wall of the blade root end or front end for grinding. The grinding disc 391 presses against the blade... When the blade root end or front end sidewall is polished, the first buffer spring 382 is compressed and pressed against the sensing end of the proximity switch 3 through the sensing block 4. At this time, it indicates that the polishing disc 391 is in position (the pressure on the polishing area is also in place). The sensing signal of the proximity switch 3 is sent to the control host, and the control host controls the corresponding electric push rod 35 to stop running. Through the operation of the forward and backward moving mechanism 31 and the vertical moving mechanism 32, the sidewall of the blade root end or front end can be polished. The polishing effect is good and the efficiency is high.
[0043] After grinding, all parts are returned to their original positions. At the same time, the suction pipe stops sucking air, which stops the suction cover 82 of the limiting suction block 81 and fixes it in place. The blade can then be removed and replaced with a new blade for processing, which is very convenient.
