Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rotor impeller processing, and in particular to a method for milling a tightening strip groove socket on a steam turbine rotor impeller. Background Art

[0002] In steam turbine rotors, the use of tension bars for axially securing side-mounted blades is becoming increasingly common. These bars are T-shaped ring grooves located on both ends of the rotor impeller. Installing tension bars within these grooves restricts the axial movement of the side-mounted blades. To fit the tension bars into the T-shaped ring grooves, a tension bar slot with a similar shape must be machined into the grooves to facilitate insertion.

[0003] Large steam turbine rotors can be processed on wheel groove milling machines, but for small and medium-sized steam turbine rotors, due to the narrow axial spacing between two adjacent rotor impellers, it is impossible to use milling machines to process the tensioning strip slot sockets. They can only be rough-processed using T-type milling cutters on CNC boring machines. At the same time, in order to avoid overcutting the circumferential dimensions of the tensioning strip slot sockets, excessive residue will be caused and the fitter will need to grind them, resulting in a large workload and difficult quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0010] S50: feeding the T-shaped milling cutter axially along the rotor impeller to perform axial linear milling on the flange of the T-shaped ring groove on the rotor impeller;

[0011] Repeat S30 to S50 until the T-shaped milling cutter performs multiple axial linear milling operations to fit the circumferential arc-shaped tightening strip slot insertion.

[0040] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0041] Examples, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a method for milling a tightening groove socket on a steam turbine rotor impeller includes the following steps:

[0042] S10 : moving the T-shaped milling cutter 40 along the radial direction of the rotor impeller 10 to a milling position opposite to the tensioning strip slot insertion opening 30 , and making the axis of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 perpendicularly intersect the axis of the rotor impeller 10 .

[0043] S20 : ​​The T-shaped milling cutter 40 is fed axially along the rotor impeller 10 to perform axial linear milling on the flange of the T-shaped ring groove 20 on the rotor impeller 10 .

[0044] S30: After the single axial linear milling is completed, the T-shaped milling cutter 40 is retracted along the axial direction of the rotor impeller 10 to a safe position.

[0045] S40: The T-shaped milling cutter 40 is rotated around the axis of the rotor impeller 10 by a preset angle, so that the T-shaped milling cutter 40 is rotated to the next milling position.

[0046] S50 : The T-shaped milling cutter 40 is fed axially along the rotor impeller 10 to perform axial linear milling on the flange of the T-shaped ring groove 20 on the rotor impeller 10 .

[0047] S30 to S50 are repeated until the T-shaped milling cutter 40 performs multiple axial linear milling operations to fit the circumferential arc-shaped tensioning strip slot insertion opening 30 .

[0048] The present application adopts a T-type milling cutter 40 to perform axial linear milling operations on the tensioning strip slot socket 30, and uses mathematical analysis to control the incremental milling angle of the T-type milling cutter 40, so that multiple axial linear millings can be fitted into an arc-shaped tensioning strip slot socket 30 through fitting processing, which can not only ensure the processing quality, but also improve the processing efficiency.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, if Figure 2-Figure 7As described above, during each axial linear milling operation performed by the T-shaped milling cutter 40, the axis of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the rotor impeller 10, and the T-shaped milling cutter 40 moves axially along the rotor impeller 10 to perform axial milling operations on the tensioning strip slot socket 30 of the rotor impeller 10. The central angle corresponding to the tensioning strip slot socket 30 is 2θ, and the chord length is L, that is, the angle between the theoretical edge line of the tensioning strip slot socket 30 and the median plane of the tensioning strip slot socket 30 is θ; the angle between the actual milling edge line BB of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10 and the projection line of the axis OC of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10 is α B The angle between the actual milling edge line AA of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 and the projection line of the axis OC of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 on the working surface 21 of the T-shaped ring groove 20 is α A ;θ-α B ≦β≦θ-α A The milling arc surface 31 is formed between the actual milling edge line BB on the end surface of the rotor impeller 10 and the actual milling edge line AA on the working surface 21 of the T-shaped ring groove 20 .

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, during each linear milling operation of the T-type milling cutter 40, the milling radius of the T-type milling cutter 40 is r, the distance that the outer circle of the T-type milling cutter 40 exceeds the working surface 21 of the T-type ring groove 20 is h, the distance from the end face of the rotor impeller 10 to the working surface 21 of the T-type ring groove 20 is H, the distance between the actual milling edge line BB of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10 and the projection line of the axis OC of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10 is BC; the distance between the actual milling edge line AA of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the working surface 21 of the T-type ring groove 20 and the projection line of the axis OC of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the working surface 21 of the T-type ring groove 20 is AC.

[0051] in,

[0052]

[0053] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, OC is the axis of the T-type milling cutter 40, the AC straight line is the projection of the actual cutting part of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the working surface 21 of the T-shaped ring groove 20 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10, the BC straight line is the actual cutting part of the T-type milling cutter 40 on the end face of the rotor impeller 10, R is the large arc radius of the tightening groove socket 30, L is the width (chord length) that the tightening groove socket 30 must ensure, θ is half of the theoretical opening angle of the tightening groove socket 30, and α is the angle between the actual processing position of the tool and the axis of the T-type milling cutter 40.

[0054] in,

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] Through actual processing analysis, it is known that the theoretical edge of the tensioning strip slot socket 30 should be located between the actual milling edge BB on the end face of the rotor impeller 10 and the actual milling edge AA on the working surface 21 of the T-shaped ring groove 20. When the theoretical edge and the actual milling edge BB coincide, the actual angle between the axis OC of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 and the median plane of the tensioning strip slot socket 30 is: β min =θ-α B When the theoretical edge coincides with the actual milling edge AA, the actual angle between the axis OC of the T-type milling cutter 40 and the center plane of the tightening slot socket 30 is: β max =θ-α A At this time, the tensioning bar slot socket 30 does not need to be sharpened by a fitter to be installed in the tensioning bar.

[0058] In one embodiment, the T-shaped milling cutter 40 is mounted on a five-axis machine tool, with the T-shaped milling cutter 40 and the five-axis machine tool's main axis coinciding, i.e., OC represents the machine tool's main axis. With this arrangement, the T-shaped milling cutter 40 is mounted on the five-axis machine tool, with the axis of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 coinciding with the machine tool's main axis. The five-axis machine tool can then drive the T-shaped milling cutter 40 to rotate a predetermined angle about the axis of the rotor impeller 10, allowing the next axial linear milling operation to be performed.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, during the processing of the tensioning strip slot socket 30, the T-type milling cutter 40 is first positioned along the Z axis to the milling position opposite the tensioning strip slot socket 30, and then axially fed along the Y axis. After the processing is in place, it returns to a safe position. The five-axis linkage machine tool drives the T-type milling cutter 40 to rotate clockwise by a preset angle to perform the next axial linear milling operation, and fits the arc-shaped tensioning strip slot socket 30 through multiple axial linear milling operations, and the center angle of the tensioning strip slot socket 30 is equal to the theoretical center angle. Among them, the linear fitting accuracy is related to the preset angle of rotation of the T-type milling cutter 40. The smaller the preset angle, the more accurate the fitting, and the higher the processing quality of the tensioning strip slot socket 30.

[0060] Preferably, the preset angle of rotation of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 is 0.5° to 1.5°. This is because the smaller the preset angle of rotation of the T-shaped milling cutter 40, the higher the fitting accuracy of the arc-shaped tensioning strip slot 30. When the preset angle is greater than 1.5°, the fitting accuracy is low and cannot meet the required requirements. When the preset angle is less than 0.5°, although the fitting accuracy is high, the T-shaped milling cutter 40 will cause more axial linear milling operations, affecting processing efficiency.

[0061] More preferably, the preset angle of the T-shaped milling cutter 40 during rotation is 1°.

[0062] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0063] In this application, a five-axis linkage machine tool drives a T-type milling cutter 40 to perform axial milling operations on the rotor impeller 10, and the theoretical processing data obtained through mathematical model analysis controls the milling angle of the T-type milling cutter 40 to gradually increase, so that multiple axial straight line millings are performed to fit the arc-shaped tightening strip slot socket 30, which not only ensures the processing efficiency of the tightening strip slot socket 30 and reduces the cost, but also improves the processing quality of the tightening strip slot socket 30.

[0064] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
