[0024] A frame 1 is provided with a support plate 3, a guide rod 4 is fixedly installed on the support plate 3 and the top of the inner cavity of the frame 1, a group of sliders 6 are slidably provided on the guide rod 4, a group of feed telescopic rods 2 are rotatably installed on the frame 1, and the ends of the feed telescopic rods 2 are rotatably connected to the sliders 6;

[0025] A positioning mechanism 100, which is connected to the two sets of sliders 6, and is used to fix and clamp the turbine blades and drive the turbine blades to swing;

[0026] The dynamic grinding mechanism 200 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the frame 1 and is used for performing contour grinding on the turbine blades.

[0027] In this embodiment, during grinding, a group of polished standard parts are placed in the positioning mechanism 100 and fixed by the positioning mechanism 100. In the subsequent processing, the turbine blades to be processed are also placed in the positioning mechanism 100, and both are fixed at the same time. During processing, the dynamic grinding mechanism 200 is used for contour control to grind the workpiece according to the standard parts, and the feeding telescopic rod 2 can drive the slider 6 to move the entire positioning mechanism 100 forward by extending, and in this process, the positioning mechanism 100 can control the standard parts and the turbine blades to swing at the same time to achieve grinding of various positions on the turbine blades.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dynamic grinding mechanism 200 includes a mounting bracket 9, on which a horizontally arranged first cantilever 11 and a second cantilever 12 are fixedly mounted, the first cantilever 11 is slidably connected to a first movable plate 13 through a group of first sliding rods 21, the bottom of the first sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to a first U-shaped plate 14, a first spring 20 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first sliding rod 21, the two ends of the first spring 20 are fixedly connected to the first U-shaped plate 14 and the first movable plate 13 respectively, a first electromagnet 16 and a first magnet 17 are fixedly mounted on the first cantilever 11 and the first movable plate 13 respectively, a movable probe 19 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the first movable plate 13, and a fixed probe 18 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first U-shaped plate 14; the second cantilever 12 is connected to a first movable plate 13 through a group of second sliding rods A second movable plate 24 is slidably connected, and a second U-shaped plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second slide rod. A second spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second slide rod, and both ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the second U-shaped plate 25 and the second movable plate 24 respectively. A second electromagnet 22 and a second magnet 23 are installed on the second cantilever 12 and the second movable plate 24 respectively. A second grinding head 28 is provided at the bottom of the second movable plate 24, and a first grinding head 26 is provided at the top of the second U-shaped plate 25. The first grinding head 26 and the second grinding head 28 are connected through a driving assembly, and the driving assembly is used to control the rotation of the first grinding head 26 and the second grinding head 28; a first induction plate 30 is provided on both the first movable plate 13 and the second movable plate 24, and a second induction plate 31 is provided on both the first U-shaped plate 14 and the second U-shaped plate 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, during the contour grinding process, the thickness of the standard part at the current position is first measured, and then the corresponding position of the turbine blade is ground according to the thickness of the standard part. When the corresponding thickness is reached, the next processing area is switched to, and the grinding of the turbine blade is completed according to this process; the implementation steps of the above process are: the standard part and the turbine blade are fixed by the positioning mechanism 100 at the same time, and in order to facilitate the standard part to enter between the first U-shaped plate 14 and the first movable plate 13, the telescopic positioning rod 10 provided on the mounting bracket 9 is extended and inserted into the positioning hole on the first U-shaped plate 14 to limit the movement of the first U-shaped plate 14. At this time, the first electromagnet 16 is energized , control the first electromagnet 16 to maintain the opposite magnetic field to the first magnet 17, so that the two attract each other, then the distance between the first U-shaped plate 14 and the first movable plate 13 increases, which is convenient for the standard parts to enter. Based on the same principle, in order to facilitate the insertion of the turbine blades, the second electromagnet 22 is kept at the opposite magnetic pole to the second magnet 23, and the two attract each other, and the second U-shaped plate 25 is fixed by another set of telescopic positioning rods 10, then the distance between the second movable plate 24 and the second U-shaped plate 25 increases. After the standard parts and turbine blades are inserted, the magnetic poles of the first electromagnet 16 and the second electromagnet 22 are switched. At this time, the second electromagnet 22 maintains the same magnetic pole as the second magnet 23, and the two Mutual repulsion, control the first electromagnet 16 to maintain the same magnetic property as the first magnet 17, so that the two repel each other, and the telescopic positioning rod 10 is both out of the positioning hole. Then, under the action of the first spring 20 and the second spring, the distance between the first U-shaped plate 14 and the first movable plate 13 is reduced, and the distance between the second movable plate 24 and the second U-shaped plate 25 is reduced. The standard part is clamped between the movable probe 19 and the fixed probe 18. At this time, the distance between the first sensing plate 30 and the second sensing plate 31 is the distance between the movable probe 19 and the fixed probe 18. The distance between the first sensing plate 30 and the second sensing plate 31 is converted according to the capacitor principle, E = U / d, where , U is the potential difference, d is the distance between the two plates, and E is the electric field strength between the two plates, then d=U / E. By measuring the potential difference and the electric field strength, the distance between the two plates is determined, that is, the distance between the first induction plate 30 and the second induction plate 31. That is, the turbine blade needs to be polished to this thickness. Since the first cantilever 11 and the second cantilever 12 move synchronously, the measuring position of the standard part corresponds to the polishing position of the turbine blade. When the thickness at this polishing position is the same as the thickness of the standard part at this position, the first polishing head 26 and the second polishing head 28 stop polishing synchronously. At this time, the positioning mechanism 100 is used to drive the standard part and the turbine blade to swing or move synchronously to switch the polishing position.

[0031] In this embodiment, the process of driving the first grinding head 26 and the second grinding head 28 to rotate is: start the grinding motor 32, use the grinding motor 32 to drive the hollow shaft 34 to rotate, the inner cross-section of the hollow shaft 34 is rectangular, and the square shaft 35 can slide relative to the hollow shaft 34, but cannot rotate relative to the hollow shaft 34, then the square shaft 35 will rotate synchronously, then the third pulley 33 and the fourth pulley 36 will rotate synchronously, under the drive of the first transmission belt 37 and the second transmission belt 38, the first pulley 27 and the second pulley 29 also rotate synchronously, then the first grinding head 26 and the second grinding head 28 also rotate synchronously, due to the action of the second spring, the first grinding head 26 and the second grinding head 28 will be in close contact with the turbine blade to complete double-sided processing.

When it is necessary to control the swing of the standard parts or the turbine blades, the swing motor 7 is started, and the swing motor 7 drives the power gear 44 to rotate, and the power gear 44 drives the two sets of outer gears 40 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the positioning planetary gear 39 will limit the radial movement of the outer gear 40.
