After pre-embedding the ceramic core in the mold, an automatic injection molding machine is used to inject wax to obtain a hollow turbine blade wax mold with good dimensional accuracy. At present, the molding of hollow blades is manually operated, and the main operating process is to separate the upper mold from the lower mold - take the core out of the plate - put the core into the specified position of the mold - manually adjust the core position to make it fit the mold - close the upper and lower molds to start wax injection - after the wax injection is completed, take out the wax parts and put them into the plate. This process mainly has problems such as low production efficiency, unstable product quality, and high operating intensity. With the development of automation technology, robots and automation equipment have become relatively mature.

[0056] The connection relationship between the structures in the secondary positioning module is as follows: the infrared sensing device 5 and the infrared position sensing device 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the blade tip positioning mechanism 3, and the cantilever positioning mechanism 7 is arranged on the front side of the blade tip positioning mechanism 3. When the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 can be moved to one side of the ceramic core 9, and cooperate with the blade tip positioning mechanism 3 and the cantilever positioning mechanism 7 to realize automatic clamping of the ceramic core 9.

[0057] In this embodiment, the secondary positioning of the turbine blade ceramic core 9 is achieved by a secondary positioning tool, wherein a typical turbine blade ceramic core 9 includes: a ceramic core blade tip 91, a ceramic core blade body 92, a ceramic core tenon 93 and a ceramic core cantilever 94, and the positions of the ceramic core blade tip 91, the ceramic core blade body 92, the ceramic core tenon 93 and the ceramic core cantilever 94 in the entire ceramic core 9 are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

The method of automatically pre-embedding the core into the mold can quickly and accurately embed the core into the mold automatically, eliminating manual operation and adjustment in the molding process, improving production efficiency and consistency of turbine hollow blade wax mold products, thereby replacing the traditional manual hollow turbine blade molding process. The process reduces multiple tedious operations, making the manufacturing of hollow turbine blade wax molds more concise and efficient, overcoming the problems of complex shape of ceramic core 9 and unstable manual positioning, and having high flexibility and adaptability, and can realize fast positioning and clamping of cores of different sizes, and quickly adapt to the positioning requirements of cores of different lengths.

The cylindrical platform 39 is mainly used to support the L-shaped support plate 82 in the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 to prevent the L-shaped support plate 82 from deforming.

[0066] In the above scheme, the movable movable block 35 is assembled by the clamping block 34 to achieve precise positioning of the movable movable block 35, and it is not easy to cause deviation; the first blade tip support cylinder 36, the second blade tip support cylinder 37 and the third blade tip support cylinder 38 are directly in contact with the ceramic core 9, and are mainly used to support the ceramic core blade tip 91, and assist in achieving precise positioning of the ceramic core blade tip 91. The cylindrical platform 39 is used for contacting and supporting the L-shaped support plate 82 to avoid deformation of the L-shaped support plate 82.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in the preferred scheme, the secondary positioning tooling also includes: a position sensor 4 that cooperates with the blade tip positioning mechanism 3, the position sensor 4 has a measuring head 41, the measuring head 41 is arranged at the end of the position sensor 4, the position sensor 4 is installed on the movable movable block 35, and the end where the measuring head 41 is arranged extends to the side of the movable movable block 35 away from the T-shaped connection structure 33.

[0068] Through the cooperation between the blade tip positioning mechanism 3 and the position sensor 4, the rotating adjustable screw 32 can drive the movable movable block 35 to move to adjust the position of the measuring head 41 on the position sensor 4. When the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the end of the ceramic core blade tip 91 should contact the measuring head 41, that is, one side of the ceramic core 9 in the length direction contacts the measuring head 41, and then the measuring head 41 retreats to the set position, thereby realizing the measurement of the position tolerance of the ceramic core blade tip 91. This design can realize the position sensing of the ceramic core blade tip 91, and measure whether the tolerance of the blade tip position meets the requirements. If it does not meet the tolerance, manual processing is performed through the system alarm, thereby realizing the position alarm of the ceramic core blade tip 91, and at the same time, the position of the movable movable block 35 can be adjusted to be compatible with ceramic cores 9 of different lengths. In this embodiment, the position sensor 4 can be of model: GTH10, and the position sensor 4 can be externally connected to a control system, and the control system uses a circuit board, etc.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, in the preferred solution, the infrared sensing device 5 includes: a sensing column 51 and a sensor 52, the sensing column 51 is installed on one side of the first fixed block 31, and the sensor 52 is arranged on the sensing column 51, wherein the sensor 52 and the sensing column 51 are arranged in such a way that when the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the exhaust edge at the blade body 92 of the ceramic core is opposite to the infrared sensing device 5, so that the exhaust edge can be captured by the sensor 52, and whether the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module can be sensed by the sensor 52.

[0070] Similarly, the infrared sensing device 5 can also be externally connected to the control system and output the measurement result to the control system. When the infrared sensing device 5 fails to detect the ceramic core 9, an alarm is outputted through the control system.

[0071] like Figure 5As shown, in the preferred solution, there are two infrared position sensing devices 6, which are arranged on the same side of the blade tip positioning mechanism 3. One of the infrared position sensing devices 6 is not shown in the figure. It can be imagined that the two infrared position sensing devices 6 do not affect each other after installation. The infrared position sensing device 6 includes: a position sensing column 61 and a position sensor 62. The position sensing column 61 is arranged on the other side of the first fixed block 31 and is arranged opposite to the infrared sensing device 5. The position sensor 62 is fixedly mounted on the position sensing column 61. In this embodiment, the infrared position sensing device 6 is a point-type sensor. The position of the position sensing column 61 and the position sensor 62 should be arranged so that when the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the upper edge of the exhaust edge and the position sensor 62 on one of the infrared position sensing devices 6 are located on the same horizontal plane. The position sensor 62 can just capture the upper edge of the exhaust edge, and the position sensor 62 at this position is defined as the first position sensor; the position sensor 62 on the other infrared position sensing device 6 is slightly higher than the upper edge of the exhaust edge, and the position sensor 62 at this position is defined as the second position sensor. If the first position sensor does not sense the upper edge of the exhaust side, an alarm is output, indicating that the ceramic core 9 is warped downward; if the second position sensor detects the upper edge of the ceramic core, an alarm is output, indicating that the ceramic core 9 is warped upward.

[0072] Similarly, the infrared position sensing device 6 can also be connected to an external control system and output the measurement results to the control system. When the first position sensor in the infrared position sensing device 6 fails to detect the upper edge of the exhaust side of the ceramic core 9, the control system outputs an alarm; or when the second position sensor detects the upper edge of the ceramic core, the control system outputs an alarm. The infrared position sensing device 6 can detect whether the ceramic core blade 92 is warped upward or downward. If the detection is unqualified, the control system outputs an alarm through signal feedback, and then the ceramic core 9 is manually processed.

[0073] like Figure 5As shown, in the preferred scheme, the cantilever positioning mechanism 7 includes: a second fixed block 71, a first cantilever support column 72, a second cantilever support column 73 and a cantilever side column positioning column 74. The second fixed block 71 is fixed to the base 1 on the front side of the blade tip positioning mechanism 3 by fasteners. In this embodiment, the side of the movable block 35 on the blade tip positioning mechanism 3 away from the adjustable screw 32 is defined as the front side of the blade tip positioning mechanism 3. The first cantilever support column 72, the second cantilever support column 73 and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 are sequentially arranged on the upper end surface of the second fixed block 71 facing away from the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8, wherein the first cantilever support column 72, the second cantilever support column 73 and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 are arranged in a colinear manner, and the first cantilever support column 72, the second cantilever support column 73 and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in parallel, the first cantilever support column 72 and the second cantilever support column 73 have the same height, and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 has a height higher than that of the first cantilever support column 72 and the second cantilever support column 73.

[0074] The upper end surface of the second fixed block 71 , on which the first cantilever support column 72 , the second cantilever support column 73 and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 are not provided, is used to support the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 .

[0075] In the above scheme, when the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the ceramic core cantilever 94 is supported by the first cantilever support column 72 and the second cantilever support column 73, and the cantilever side column positioning column 74 is arranged to contact the side of the ceramic core cantilever 94 from one side of the ceramic core 9 to realize the positioning of the ceramic core 9; at the same time, part of the upper end surface of the second fixed block 71 contacts the L-shaped support plate 82 on the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8, which is used to support the L-shaped support plate 82.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, in the preferred solution, the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 includes: a cylinder slider 81, an L-shaped support plate 82, a cantilever side column 83, a symmetrical positioning column 84, a small positioning cylinder 85 and a blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86. The cylinder slider 81 is fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the base 1, and the movable end of the cylinder slider 81 is connected to the L-shaped support plate 82, and the L-shaped support plate 82 is installed above the cylinder slider 81, and the L-shaped support plate 82 is driven to move by the cylinder slider 81. The cantilever side column 83, a pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 and the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 are all fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the L-shaped support plate 82, and the cylinder slider 81 slides to drive the L-shaped support plate 82 to slide, and the automatic clamping and positioning of the ceramic core 9 is realized by the cantilever side column 83, the symmetrical positioning column 84, the small positioning cylinder 85 and the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86.

[0077] In this embodiment, the L-shaped support plate 82 is a special-shaped plate. When the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, the installation position of a pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 on the L-shaped support plate 82 should be such that: a pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 are pushed by the L-shaped support plate 82 to correspond to the first cantilever support column 72 and the second cantilever support column 73 respectively, and a small positioning cylinder 85 is provided on the side of each symmetrical positioning column 84 close to the first cantilever support column 72, so that the small positioning cylinder 85 is just in contact with the side of the ceramic core 9 where the ceramic core cantilever 94 is provided in the length direction, thereby realizing the positioning of one side of the ceramic core 9 in the length direction.

[0078] The installation position of the cantilever side column 83 on the L-shaped support plate 82 should be such that: the cantilever side column 83 is pushed by the L-shaped support plate 82 to correspond to the cantilever side column positioning column 74, so that the cantilever side column 83 is in contact with the side of the ceramic core cantilever 94 from the other side of the ceramic core 9, and the positioning of the ceramic core cantilever 94 on both sides of the width direction on the ceramic core 9 is achieved by the cantilever side column 83 cooperating with the cantilever side column positioning column 74.

[0079] The installation position of the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 on the L-shaped support plate 82 should be such that: the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 is pushed by the L-shaped support plate 82 to a corresponding setting with the first blade tip support cylinder 36, so that the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 contacts the back side of the ceramic core blade tip 91 from one side of the ceramic core 9, and cooperates with the first blade tip support cylinder 36, the second blade tip support cylinder 37, and the third blade tip support cylinder 38 to realize the positioning of the ceramic core blade tip 91.

[0080] In a second aspect, a method for secondary positioning of a hollow turbine blade core is also disclosed, using the above-mentioned secondary positioning tool for the hollow turbine blade core, the steps are:

[0081] S1: Clamp the cantilever part of the ceramic core and place the ceramic core 9 into the primary positioning mechanism 2 for primary positioning. Figure 7 As shown, in step S1, a part of the ceramic core cantilever 94 is clamped from the core disk by a robot and placed on the primary positioning mechanism 2. The tip of the ceramic core 9 is located at the bottom. After being placed in the primary positioning mechanism 2, the ceramic core cantilever 94 can automatically slide to the bottom of the groove 23 by gravity. The lower end surface of the ceramic core cantilever 94 is supported by the first positioning column 21 and the groove 23 opened on the top of the second positioning column 22, and the ceramic core cantilever 94 is positioned once.

[0082] S2: After the primary positioning is completed, the ceramic core 9 is placed on the secondary positioning module, and the ceramic core 9 is clamped and positioned by the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 in the secondary positioning module. The infrared sensing device 5 senses whether the ceramic core 9 is placed in, and the infrared position sensing device 6 senses whether the ceramic core 9 is warped. The position sensor 4 measures the length of the ceramic core 9, and confirms whether the measurement result is within the set error range.

[0083] like Figure 8 As shown, in step S2, after the ceramic core 9 is positioned in the primary positioning mechanism 2, the manipulator also grabs the position of the ceramic core cantilever 94 and puts it into the secondary positioning module, and the cylinder slider 81 in the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 drives the L-shaped support plate 82 and the cantilever side column 83, a pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 and the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 to move together, and the pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 are pushed to the positioning small cylinder 85 on the pair of symmetrical positioning columns 84 to contact with one side of the length direction of the ceramic core cantilever 94, so as to position one side of the length direction of the ceramic core 9; the cantilever side column 83 is pushed to the ceramic The core cantilever 94 is arranged in contact with one side in the width direction, the cantilever side column positioning column 74 is arranged in contact with the other side in the width direction of the ceramic core cantilever 94, and the cantilever side column 83 cooperates with the cantilever side column positioning column 74 to realize the clamping positioning of both sides of the width direction of the ceramic core cantilever 94; the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 is pushed by the L-shaped support plate 82 to contact the back side of the ceramic core blade tip 91, and the first blade tip support cylinder 36 corresponds to the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 and is arranged in contact with the other side in the width direction of the ceramic core blade tip 91, and the blade tip auxiliary positioning column 86 cooperates with the first blade tip support cylinder 36 to realize the clamping positioning of the ceramic core blade tip 91 in the width direction.

[0084] S3: If any measurement result of the infrared sensing device 5, the infrared position sensing device 6 and the position sensor 4 does not meet the requirements, an alarm prompt is output. That is, if the measurement result is: the infrared sensing device 5 does not sense the ceramic core 9, the infrared position sensing device 6 senses that the ceramic core 9 is warped, or the measurement result of the length of the ceramic core 9 by the measuring head 41 of the position sensor 4 is not within the error range, it means that the positioning detection of the ceramic core 9 is unqualified, and an alarm prompt is output through the control system. The warping of the ceramic core 9 is divided into upward warping or downward warping. When any of the situations is detected, an alarm prompt is output through the control system.

[0085] S4: If the measurement results of the infrared sensing device 5, the infrared position sensing device 6 and the position sensor 4 all meet the requirements, it means that the positioning detection of the ceramic core 9 is qualified, and the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 releases the clamping of the ceramic core 9 and puts the ceramic core 9 into the mold in this positioning posture.

[0086] like Fig. 9 As shown, in step S4, after the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 releases the ceramic core 9, the tenon part is also clamped by the manipulator and smoothly placed into the mold. The manipulator can be purchased as needed to achieve the above-mentioned clamping action, which is not the focus of protection of this embodiment and is not limited here.

[0087] In the above scheme, the problem of low storage accuracy in batch core plates can be solved by the primary positioning mechanism 2. After the ceramic core 9 is positioned by the primary positioning mechanism 2, it is convenient for the manipulator to accurately grasp the core position; the ceramic core 9 is automatically clamped and positioned by the movable auxiliary positioning mechanism 8 in the secondary positioning, the infrared sensing device 5 detects whether the core is accurately placed, and the infrared position sensing device 6 senses whether the ceramic core 9 is warped. The position sensor 4 measures and senses the length of the core. The infrared sensing device 5, the infrared position sensing device 6 and the position sensor 4 ensure quality control during the production process. Through the combination of primary positioning and secondary positioning, the placement accuracy of the ceramic core 9 in the core embedded mold is greatly improved, and the error in subsequent processing is reduced. The entire positioning process, including the clamping of the ceramic core 9, primary positioning, secondary positioning detection and final placement into the mold, is completed by a manipulator and an automated control system. The positioning position of the core in the mold is simulated in advance. After the positioning is completed, the manipulator clamps the positioned core and accurately places it into the mold to start molding. The entire process completely avoids human involvement and can replace manual work. It also reduces the risk of errors caused by human operation, which is conducive to the realization of fully automated production of hollow turbine blade molding, improving the production efficiency of hollow turbine blade wax molds, and stabilizing product quality.

[0088] Furthermore, before performing the secondary positioning, it is necessary to adjust the position of the measuring head 41 set on the blade tip positioning mechanism 3. Specifically, the movable block 35 and the measuring head 41 set on the movable block 35 are driven by rotating the adjustable screw 32, so that the measuring head 41 contacts the end of the ceramic core blade tip 91. After that, the measuring head 41 retreats to the set position, thereby realizing the measurement of the position tolerance of the ceramic core blade tip 91. This design can realize the position sensing of the ceramic core blade tip 91 and measure whether the tolerance of the blade tip position meets the requirements.

[0089] In the above scheme, by accurately adjusting the position of the measuring head 41, it is ensured that it is in close contact with the end of the ceramic core blade tip 91, thereby realizing the measurement induction of the core length with high measurement accuracy; through the design of the adjustable screw 32, the measuring head 41 can be flexibly adjusted according to ceramic cores 9 of different sizes, and can be suitable for ceramic cores 9 of various specifications, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.
