[0035] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] Example:

[0037] As attached Figures 1 to 15 As shown:

[0038] The forged crankshaft for a mud pump includes a main shaft 100. The main shaft 100 has four groups of mounting connection positions on its surface. The four groups of mounting connection positions are used to mount a flange 109, a first crank 106, a second crank 107 and a third crank 108, respectively. Each group of mounting connection positions includes six arcs 111 and six planes 112. The six arcs 111 and the six planes 112 of each group of mounting connection positions are arranged in equal parts in the circumferential direction. When processing, the outer diameter of the main shaft 100 can be divided into 12 equal parts. One of the planes 112 is processed at an angle of 30 degrees every 60 degrees, and the processing tolerance of this position is ±0.025 wire. The circumference is equally divided into six planes 112 and six arcs 111. The six arcs 111 in the installation connection position provide a positioning basis for the installation of subsequent parts, and the six planes 112 provide a connection basis for the installation of subsequent parts. The six planes 112 replace the traditional keyway connection, and its ability to resist torque and impact force far exceeds that of the keyway connection. A flange 109 is provided on the spindle 100. A third crank 108 is provided at one end of the flange 109, a second crank 107 is provided at the other end of the flange 109, and a first crank 106 is provided at one end of the second crank 107 away from the flange 109. The first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108 and the flange 109 are all connected with the outer wall of the main shaft 100 by interference fit. The interference fit between the first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108 and the flange 109 and the main shaft 100 ensures that the mud pump can stably transmit power and withstand the load when working. Torque and impact force, two groups of bearing positions 110 are respectively arranged at both ends of the main shaft 100, and the two groups of bearing positions 110 are arranged at the end of the first fastening sleeve 101 away from the flange 109. The bearing position 110 is used to install bearings. After the bearings are installed, they are connected and fixed with the bearing positions of the external crankcase. The two groups of bearings can effectively reduce the friction resistance of the main shaft 100 during rotation, reduce energy loss, and improve the rotation accuracy and stability of the forged crankshaft, thereby ensuring that the mud pump can continue to operate reliably under a long-term, high-intensity working environment.

[0039] The main shaft 100 is provided with a fastening assembly, which includes two groups of first fastening sleeves 101, a second fastening sleeve 102, a third fastening sleeve 103 and a fourth fastening sleeve 104. Two groups of first fastening sleeves 101 are respectively provided at both ends of the main shaft 100, one group of first fastening sleeves 101 is provided at one end of the first crank 106 away from the flange 109, the second fastening sleeve 102 is provided between the first crank 106 and the second crank 107, the third fastening sleeve 103 and the fourth fastening sleeve 104 are provided between the second crank 107 and the third crank 108, and the other group of first fastening sleeves 101 is provided at one end of the third crank 108 away from the flange 109, through which The cooperation of a group of first fastening sleeves 101 and a fourth fastening sleeve 104 can prevent the third crank 108 from being displaced during operation. The cooperation of the fourth fastening sleeve 104 and the third fastening sleeve 103 can prevent the flange 109 from being displaced during operation. The cooperation of the third fastening sleeve 103 and the second fastening sleeve 102 can prevent the second crank 107 from being displaced during operation. The cooperation of the second fastening sleeve 102 and another group of first fastening sleeves 101 can prevent the first crank 106 from being displaced during operation. The setting of these fastening sleeves ensures the axial and radial stability of the forged crankshaft during operation.

[0040] The fourth fastening sleeve 104 is arranged between the flange 109 and the third crank 108, and the third fastening sleeve 103 is arranged between the flange 109 and the second crank 107. The two groups of the first fastening sleeve 101, the second fastening sleeve 102, the third fastening sleeve 103 and the fourth fastening sleeve 104 are all interference connected with the outer wall of the main shaft 100. The first fastening sleeve 101, the second fastening sleeve 102, the third fastening sleeve 103 and the fourth fastening sleeve 104 are all provided with fastening inner holes in the center. These fastening inner holes enable these fastening sleeves to be sleeved on the main shaft 100, and when the first fastening sleeve 101, the second fastening sleeve 102, the third fastening sleeve 103 and the fourth fastening sleeve 104 are assembled on the main shaft 100, the interference is controlled to be about 15 threads.

[0041] A central through inner hole is provided at the center of the flange 109, and an eccentric through inner hole is provided at one end of the first crank 106, the second crank 107, and the third crank 108. The central through inner hole and the three sets of eccentric through inner holes are all in regular shape. The flange 109 is connected to the main shaft 100 through the central through inner hole by interference fit. The first crank 106, the second crank 107, and the third crank 108 are connected to the main shaft 100 through the eccentric through inner holes by interference fit. The central through inner hole and the eccentric through inner hole correspond to the shapes of the mounting connection positions of the outer wall of the main shaft 100. 9. The inner diameter circumference of the four positions of the first crank 106, the second crank 107 and the third crank 108 is equally divided into 12 parts, each part is 30 degrees, and an identical plane 112 or arc 111 is processed every 60 degrees, and the circumference of the inner hole is equally divided into six planes 112 and six arcs 111, so that these inner holes correspond to the six planes 112 and six arcs 111 of the outer wall of the main shaft 100, and the flange 109, the first crank 106, the second crank 107 and the third crank 108 are all interference connected with the main shaft 100 through the through inner hole.

[0042] Among them, the main shaft 100, the third crank 108, the fourth fastening sleeve 104, the flange 109, the third fastening sleeve 103, the second crank 107, the second fastening sleeve 102, the first crank 106 and the two first fastening sleeves 101 are all forged with 35Crmo material and are hot assembled after rough machining, normalizing, tempering and finishing.

[0043] When the flange 109, the first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108, the two first fastening sleeves 101, the second fastening sleeve 102, the third fastening sleeve 103, the fourth fastening sleeve 104 and the main shaft 100 are all processed, the flange 109, the first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108 and the five fastening sleeves can be placed in an external heating furnace and heated to about 150-180 degrees Celsius to expand the inner hole to an ideal size, so as to facilitate the flange 109, the first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108 and the five fastening sleeves to be hot-mounted.

[0044] Furthermore, the heated parts are installed on the main shaft 100 in order: the installation of the forged crankshaft starts from the direction of the third crank 108, and the order is from large to small according to the diameter of the main shaft 100: 1. the third fastening sleeve 103, 2. the flange 109, 3. the fourth fastening sleeve 104, 4. the third crank 108, 5. the first fastening sleeve 101. After the installation of this side is completed, the other side is installed: the installation order is 1. the second crank 107, 2. the second fastening sleeve 102, 3. the first crank 106, 4. the first fastening sleeve 101. From then on, the assembly is complete. After the assembled crankshaft cools down to room temperature, the crankshaft is clamped on the machine tool and the bearing positions 110 at both ends are aligned and processed using the double center.

[0045] It can be understood that during the thermal assembly process, the inner hole parts to be assembled are heated to expand due to the heat, and the size of the inner hole increases. When the size of the inner hole expands to be larger than the outer diameter of the shaft parts that match it, the shaft parts are quickly installed into the inner hole. After the parts cool down, the inner hole shrinks and is tightly clamped on the shaft, thereby achieving a tight and firm fit and achieving the effect of interference fit, ensuring that the parts will not easily loosen or move during operation, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0046] By adopting the hot assembly method, for some fits with large interference, if cold assembly is used, very large assembly force may be required, and even parts may be damaged. Hot assembly expands the inner hole by heating, which greatly reduces the external force required for assembly, makes the assembly process easier to operate, and reduces the requirements for equipment and tools. The tight fit formed by hot assembly makes the bonding force between parts stronger, and can effectively transmit force when bearing working loads, and is not prone to loosening, slipping and other phenomena, which improves the reliability and stability of the connection and extends the service life of the forged crankshaft.

[0047] The inner diameters of the first crank 106, the second crank 107, the third crank 108 and the flange 109 are set according to the mud pump model and the main shaft 100. One end of the first crank 106, the second crank 107 and the third crank 108 and the two end surfaces of the main shaft 100 are respectively provided with a plurality of threaded blind holes for connecting accessories. One end of the flange 109 is provided with a plurality of through holes. Both sets of bearing positions 110 are interference connected with the outer wall of the main shaft 100.

[0048] The forged crankshaft can process all the above-mentioned parts such as the first fastening sleeve 101, the second fastening sleeve 102, and the third fastening sleeve 103 separately. During the separate processing, each part can adopt a more suitable processing technology and parameters according to its own structural characteristics and performance requirements, so as to maximize the optimization of the material structure and enhance the material strength. After the processing is completed, the forged crankshaft can be assembled into a finished product by hot assembly. Compared with the traditional overall processing of the cast crankshaft, it can not only improve the quality of each part, but also extend the service life of the forged crankshaft, and it is more efficient in material use, avoiding excessive waste of materials caused by taking into account all parts during the overall processing, thereby greatly reducing the consumption of processing materials, and solving the problem of high material consumption in the casting process of the traditional cast crankshaft. After the forged crankshaft is processed and put into use, when the user needs to repair the forged crankshaft, there is no need to use complex special tools or use destructive methods. All parts can be disassembled in a certain order and specification, and then each part can be repaired or replaced separately, which solves the problem that it is inconvenient for users to repair the cast crankshaft and improves convenience.
