[0002] The gear and ring gear in the gearbox of a wind turbine are relatively large in size and need to be rough machined after being forged into shape. Since the forging process can cause a certain degree of internal stress, in order to improve the material properties of the parts and reduce the influence of these internal stresses, stress relief annealing treatment is needed, which involves heating the parts to an appropriate temperature and maintaining for a certain period of time, and then slowly cooling down, so as to reduce or eliminate the internal stress. This can improve the material properties of the gear and ring gear and enhance their durability.

It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the embodiments can be practiced without the specific details and that numerous implementation choices are possible.

[0030] As Figs. 1-3 shown, the application discloses a new type of shot blasting tool, characterized in that it comprises: a connecting plate, the connecting plate is a triangular structure, the connecting plate is provided with a lifting hole, and the connecting plate is used to provide support for the tool; a support plate, the support plate is a V-shaped plate, both sides of the support plate are provided with a pellet taking part, the pellet taking part is used to clean the steel pellets inside the tool, the front and rear openings of the support plate are connected with the connecting plate, the support plate is set upside down, the top of the support plate is provided with a contact part, the contact part is sheet-shaped and protrudes outward, the top of the contact part is tooth-shaped, and the contact part is used to reduce the contact area with the bottom of the gear ring.

[0031] Specifically, the connecting plate has two, which are symmetrically placed, the lifting holes are aligned with each other, the lifting holes are arranged at the upper end of the connecting plate, close to the top of the connecting plate, the lifting holes are used to cooperate with the crane to lift the tool, so that the tool can move stably with the bottom surface facing down, preventing the tool from rotating and being difficult to place stably during lifting.

[0032] Specifically, the support plate is composed of two rectangular plates, which have a certain included angle between each other and are fixed by welding. The pellet taking part is arranged in the middle of the rectangular plate, and the pellet taking part is symmetrically arranged after welding. The pellet taking part is a square hole, which can facilitate the cleaning of the steel pellets entering the inside of the tool from the lifting hole during the shot blasting of the gear ring, and can also reduce the weight of the overall triangular tool, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the four tools to adapt to different diameter gear rings.

[0033] Specifically, the contact part is arranged at the top end of the support plate and extends outward. The top teeth of the contact part are composed of a plurality of square blocks, the square blocks are spaced apart by a certain distance, and the square blocks are arranged along the top of the support plate. Through the outwardly protruding contact part, the gear ring can be lifted up, so that the gear ring can be away from the support plate, preventing the tool from contacting the gear ring bottom surface with a large area and being close to the lower throwing head of the shot blasting machine, thereby further reducing the gear ring bottom contact area and increasing the distance from the lower throwing head of the shot blasting machine, so that the area of the gear ring cleaned by the shot blasting is increased. The entire gear ring outer surface is cleaned by shot blasting, and the surface roughness is between 60-66um. The gear ring only needs to be cleaned by shot blasting once to meet the requirements, and does not need to be cleaned by shot blasting again. And through the tooth structure of the contact part, the gear ring can be hoisted on the tool, and the shot blasting of the gear ring can be kept stable at a rotation speed of 2-3 minutes per circle of the trolley rotary table, and the position does not deviate.

[0034] The present application is composed of two connecting plates, a support plate composed of two rectangular plates, and a contact part. In use, generally four are a group. The tool is entirely made of high-alloy high-strength wear-resistant steel plate S310 welded into a triangular pyramid. The triangular design has good stability, and the use of materials is minimized, which can save costs. After load strength calculation of the tool, the high-alloy steel plate is 16mm thick, and four-point support is adopted, which can completely meet the requirement of 16 tons of overall load bearing of the tool, reduce the weight of the overall tool, and save the cost of steel. The high-alloy steel plate after cutting according to the drawing is subjected to high-temperature solid solution treatment, so that the hardness of the high-alloy steel plate reaches 50-55HRC. After solid solution treatment, the hardness is high and the wear resistance is higher, which can prolong the service life of the tool under the shot blasting working condition by more than 3 times. After the 5 high-alloy steel plates of different sizes are welded by special welding process, high-temperature stress relief annealing is carried out within 2 hours, which can reduce the stress generated by welding, ensure the quality of the weld, and at the same time ensure the overall strength of the tool, so that the contact part can support the gear ring, prevent the tool from contacting the gear ring bottom surface with a large area and being close to the lower throwing head of the shot blasting machine, thereby increasing the shot blasting cleaning area and achieving the effect of not needing secondary turning and shot blasting, preventing problems such as excessive surface roughness of the gear ring after secondary shot blasting.

[0035] The novel shot blasting tool of the present application not only has simple and convenient use, easy loading and unloading, but also can be used for shot blasting of gear rings of different specifications without the need to replace different shot blasting tools. At the same time, it solves the problems of large contact area between the gear ring bottom surface and the tool and close distance from the lower throwing head of the shot blasting machine, insufficient shot blasting cleaning of the gear ring bottom, the need for secondary turning and shot blasting, and excessive surface roughness of the gear ring after secondary shot blasting. The tool meets the quality requirements of gear ring shot blasting, realizes rapid product change, improves efficiency, and can operate safely and reliably. EMBODIMENT
