Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of mechanical assembly, and particularly relates to an electric head worm centering and fixing support device and a method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Two WWER-1000 type units of a first-stage project of a certain nuclear power plant are installed with 1238 Б, В, Г, and Д type switch valve electric heads. The working principles of the four types of electric heads are that a gear on a motor transmission of the electric head drives a set of bridge gears, the bridge gears drive driven gears, the driven gears are installed on a worm, and the worm drives a worm gear to rotate, thereby driving a main shaft to rotate. When manually operated, a hand wheel is directly connected with the worm together to drive the worm gear to rotate, thereby realizing the switching of the valve.

[0003] The four types of electric heads all adopt worm and worm gear transmission, the worm and worm gear transmission can obtain a large transmission ratio, is more compact than the staggered shaft helical gear mechanism, the linear contact between the meshing tooth surfaces of the two wheels is much higher than that of the staggered shaft helical gear mechanism. At the same time, the worm transmission is equivalent to a spiral transmission, which is a multi-tooth meshing transmission, so the transmission is stable and the noise is very small. When the lead angle of the worm is less than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth, the mechanism has self-locking property, and can realize reverse self-locking, i.e. only the worm can drive the worm gear, but the worm gear cannot drive the worm; the axial force of the worm is large.

[0004] The worm and worm gear transmission has some shortcomings in addition to the above-mentioned advantages, such as low transmission efficiency and serious wear. When the worm and worm gear meshing transmission, the relative sliding speed between the meshing teeth is large, so the friction loss is large and the efficiency is low. On the other hand, the large relative sliding speed causes serious wear and serious heating of the tooth surface. In order to dissipate heat and reduce wear, expensive materials with good friction reduction and wear resistance and good lubrication devices are often used, so the assembly requirements for the worm and worm gear are also relatively high. The matching meshing requirements of the worm and worm gear are high. If the worm and worm gear are not correctly assembled, the worm and worm gear will be seriously worn, the electric head transmission will be jammed, and the safe and stable operation of the system will be affected. Therefore, the assembly quality of the worm and worm gear is particularly important.

[0005] During the disassembly and overhaul process of the electric head, the worm and worm gear need to be disassembled and taken out, cleaned and then checked for worm and worm gear wear. After passing the inspection, the worm and worm gear are reassembled. The whole disassembly and assembly process usually needs 3-4 people to cooperate to complete the disassembly and assembly. During the reassembly process of the worm and worm gear, due to the small internal space of the electric head box, there is no suitable tool to correctly center and reassemble the worm. After the worm is reassembled to the inside of the box, the worm hand wheel end is first reassembled and fixed, then the worm bearing end exposed outside the box is lifted with a thin rope, the worm is centered as much as possible, and then the worm is centered by tightening the worm bearing gland. Each time the worm is centered and reassembled by tightening the worm bearing gland. During the reassembly process of the worm, the thin rope is easily broken, causing damage to the equipment and personnel, and the worm and worm gear assembly is easily assembled, causing transmission jamming, which still needs to be repeatedly disassembled and assembled. The whole process is time-consuming and laborious, and the work efficiency is low.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop an electric head worm centering and fixing support device to solve the problem of incorrect centering during the reassembly process of the worm, and to ensure the assembly quality of the worm and worm gear. SUMMARY
