Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of machining technology, and more specifically relates to a measurement method for machining compressor cylinder blade grooves. Background Technology
[0002] During the operation of a compressor, the cylinder and piston together form the working volume. The reciprocating motion of the piston changes the size of the working volume, thereby compressing the gas. The compressor cylinder is a cylindrical metal component that guides the piston in linear reciprocating motion within the cylinder. It withstands gas pressure, friction between the piston surface and the piston ring support ring, and the heat generated during gas compression.
[0003] Blade slots are grooves formed on the inner wall of a compressor cylinder, typically used to accommodate and support blades. The position, width, and straightness of the blade slots all affect the compressor's performance. When the blades reciprocate or rotate within the cylinder, they slide within the blade slots and closely engage with the piston, thereby changing the working volume within the cylinder and compressing the gas.
[0004] Currently, the positional accuracy of the preceding process in blade groove grinding is poor, and the symmetry between the groove and the inner hole is significantly different. As a result, the grinding allowance of the groove plane is very small. In order to meet the positioning requirements of the blade groove, the blade groove needs to be measured and then ground. For the positioning of the blade groove, it is usually necessary to measure in the left and right X-axis direction and the up and down Y-axis direction of the workpiece. However, adding a Y-axis structure will increase the cost and design difficulty. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for measuring the blade grooves of a compressor cylinder, which measures the angle and displacement of the blade grooves without requiring a Y-axis.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A measurement method for machining compressor cylinder blade grooves includes a fixture part and a measuring device disposed on the opposite side of the fixture part. The fixture part can drive the workpiece to rotate along the C-axis. The fixture part includes a plurality of clamping devices that can clamp the end face of the workpiece and a positioning device that can position the inner hole of the workpiece. The measuring device includes a probe that can reciprocate along the X-axis and Z-axis. The probe can determine the size and position of the groove and hole to be machined by collecting multi-point workpiece groove and inner hole geometric dimensional features and relative machine tool coordinate position data before and after workpiece machining.
[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the measurement method includes:
[0009] 1) Rotating the C-axis causes the workpiece blade groove to rotate to a horizontal position, allowing the probe to enter the blade groove for measurement;
[0010] 2) The measuring device moves along the X-axis and moves the probe to one end of the blade groove to be processed. This point is recorded as point A. The workpiece is rotated along the C-axis to measure the angle between the probe at point A and the horizontal line, which is α1.
[0011] 3) The measuring device moves in the opposite direction along the X-axis, moves the probe to the other end of the blade groove to be processed, and records this point as point B. The workpiece is rotated along the C-axis to measure the angle between the probe at point B and the horizontal line, which is α2.
[0012] 4) The compensation angle is calculated using the first formula. The compensation angle plus 90° is the grinding angle. The first formula includes (α1+α2) / 2+(α1-α2)*coefficient.
[0013] 5) The grinding compensation displacement ΔL in the X-axis direction is calculated by the second formula. The second formula includes 2*(distance difference between point A and point B in the X-axis direction)*s in(α1-α2)*coefficient, which is obtained from experimental data.
[0014] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the clamping part further includes a mounting base, a plurality of clamping devices are spaced apart on one side of the mounting base, and the positioning device is located within the mounting base.
[0015] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the clamping device includes a driving device and a pressure arm disposed at the output end of the driving device, the driving device being capable of driving the pressure arm to clamp or release the workpiece.
[0016] According to a first aspect of the present invention, each of the pressure arms is provided with a pressure block at the end away from the driving device.
[0017] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the positioning device includes a cylinder and a piston rod capable of reciprocating within the cylinder. One end of the piston rod is provided with a positioning mandrel, and the other end of the positioning mandrel is provided with an elastic portion capable of contacting and positioning with the inner hole of the workpiece.
[0018] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the elastic part can enter the inner circle of the workpiece to be processed under the push of the piston rod, and perform internal support, tensioning and positioning of the inner hole of the workpiece.
[0019] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a cover is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder body, and a guide sleeve is provided on the outer side of the cover.
[0020] One of the above-described technical solutions of the present invention has at least one of the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0021] This invention, through a fixture and a measuring device, eliminates the need to rotate the blade slot to a vertical position. That is, without the need to add an additional Y-axis, it indirectly measures angles and displacements using formulas and coefficients for subsequent grinding operations. It achieves accurate measurement without complex design work, effectively controlling costs. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The following disclosure provides many different implementations or examples for different ways of implementing the present invention.
[0036] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 As shown, a measurement method for machining compressor cylinder blade grooves includes a fixture part 1 that can drive the workpiece to rotate along the C-axis and a measuring device 2 provided on the opposite side of the fixture part 1. The fixture part 1 includes a mounting base 13, three clamping devices 11 that can clamp the end face of the workpiece, and a positioning device 12 that can position the inner hole of the workpiece.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, three clamping devices 11 are spaced apart on one side of the mounting base 13, and the positioning device 12 is located inside the mounting base 13. The clamping device 11 includes a driving device 111 and a pressure arm 112 provided at the output end of the driving device 111. The pressure arm 112 is provided perpendicular to the output end of the driving device 111. The driving device 111 can drive the pressure arm 112 to press or release the workpiece, and each pressure arm 112 is provided with a pressure block 113 at the end away from the driving device 111 that can directly contact the end face of the workpiece.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning device 12 includes a cylinder 121 and a piston rod 122 that can reciprocate within the cylinder 121. A cover is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder 121, and a guide sleeve is provided on the outer side of the cover. A positioning mandrel 123 is provided at one end of the piston rod 122, and an mounting sleeve is fitted onto the positioning mandrel 123. A first conical surface is provided on the inner side of the mounting sleeve. A second conical surface is provided at one end of the positioning mandrel 123, and an elastic portion is provided at the other end of the positioning mandrel 123 that can contact and position itself within the inner hole of the workpiece. The second conical surface can engage with the first conical surface under the action of the piston rod 122, achieving a conical surface fit. This not only reduces wear but also ensures zero-clearance guidance.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic part can enter the inner circle of the workpiece under the push of the piston rod 122, and perform internal support and tension positioning on the inner hole of the workpiece. The elastic part is in the shape of a circular petal, and the diameter of the elastic part is set to be larger than the diameter of the inner circle of the workpiece. This can ensure the applicability of the elastic part at one end of the positioning mandrel 123. Thus, the elastic part can be pushed into the inner circle of the workpiece by the piston rod 122 under the action of the return spring, hydraulic oil circuit or air circuit, and then shrink. As the elasticity expands outward, it further supports and tightens the inner hole of the workpiece, ensuring accurate centering. Furthermore, the part where the elastic part contacts and positions the inner hole of the workpiece is the elastic deformation zone. The inner hole size of the workpiece has a tolerance range, and the gap can be eliminated by shrinking and clamping.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the piston rod 122 can reciprocate within the cylinder 121 via a pneumatic passage, an oil passage, or a return spring that can be compressed within the cylinder 121. Specifically, if a return spring is used, the piston rod 122 can be pushed forward under the action of the return spring, thereby making the second conical surface at one end of the positioning spindle 123 tightly engage with the first conical surface inside the mounting sleeve. Then, the piston rod 122 is controlled by a hydraulic oil passage, thereby controlling the retraction of the positioning spindle 123 and compressing the return spring. Alternatively, the return spring can be omitted, and the piston rod 122 can be controlled to reciprocate using pneumatic or hydraulic means. The forward and backward movements of the positioning spindle 123 can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston rod 122.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the measuring device 2 includes a probe 21 capable of reciprocating along the X-axis and Z-axis. The probe 21 can determine the size and position of the groove and hole to be processed by collecting multi-point workpiece groove and inner hole geometric dimensional features and relative machine tool coordinate position data before and after workpiece processing. The steps for measuring the blade groove include:
[0042] Step 1: After fixing the workpiece with clamping device 11, rotate the C-axis to rotate the workpiece blade groove to a horizontal position so that the probe 21 can enter the blade groove for measurement.
[0043] The second step is to move the measuring device 2 along the X-axis, thereby moving the probe 21 synchronously to one end of the groove in the blade to be processed, and record this point as point A (see attached diagram). Figure 4 The angle between the probe 21 at point A and the horizontal line is α1, which is obtained by using the fixture part 1 to drive the workpiece to rotate along the C-axis.
[0044] Step 3: Move the measuring device 2 in the opposite direction along the X-axis, which will move the probe 21 to the other end of the blade groove to be processed. Record this point as point B (see attached diagram). Figure 5 The angle between the probe 21 at point B and the horizontal line is α2, which is obtained by using the fixture part 1 to drive the workpiece to rotate along the C-axis.
[0045] Step 4: Calculate the compensation angle using the first formula. Add 90° to the corresponding compensation angle to get the Y-axis grinding angle. The first formula includes (α1+α2) / 2+(α1-α2)*coefficient.
[0046] Step 5: Calculate the grinding compensation displacement ΔL in the X-axis direction using the second formula, which includes 2*(distance difference between point A and point B in the X-axis direction)*s in(α1-α2)*coefficient. The coefficient is obtained from experimental data and is preferably 4.85.
[0047] This eliminates the previous method of measuring the blade slot position by rotating the blade slot to a vertical position and then measuring via the left and right X-axis and the up and down Y-axis. This measurement method can indirectly measure angle and displacement without adding the up and down Y-axis, using the first formula, the second formula, and the coefficient 4.85. It achieves accurate measurement without complicated design work and effectively controls costs.
[0048] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
