Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of impeller assembly, and in particular to an auxiliary jig for facilitating quick assembly of an impeller. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing and assembly of large centrifugal pumps, turbines or similar equipment, the installation and alignment of the impeller and the volute is one of the key links. The impeller is usually large in size and mass, and during its installation on the volute, it is necessary to maintain precise coaxiality and proper axial position to ensure subsequent smooth operation and overall performance stability. However, in the prior art, the installation and positioning of large impellers often rely on manual operation or simple tooling to assist.

[0003] In the traditional impeller assembly process, operators usually need to use lifting equipment to first lift the impeller near the volute, and then achieve the initial positioning of the impeller relative to the volute through multiple fine-tuning. Due to the large size of the impeller and its heavy weight, the positioning process often has the following problems: on the one hand, the inside of the impeller needs to be accurately aligned with the rotating axis of the volute and cooperate with the reserved keyway or positioning structure, but due to the lack of effective centering clamping means, it often takes a lot of time to reach the initial position through repeated trial and error, slow rotation and adjustment. On the other hand, when the impeller is inserted into the volute cavity, if there is a lack of reasonable support and guide devices, it is easy for the outer peripheral part of the impeller to rub against the inner wall of the volute or other installation parts or even get stuck, which not only affects the installation speed and quality, but may also cause damage to the surface of the parts. At the same time, the height adjustment and centering judgment of the impeller are also difficult under traditional conditions. Once the positioning is inaccurate, the lifting angle and height need to be readjusted, which further increases the complexity and repeatability of the installation.

[0004] In addition, when the impeller and the rotating shaft of the volute need to achieve interference fit to ensure assembly accuracy and tightness, most existing technologies can only be achieved by external manual knocking or other unstable knocking devices. Such methods cannot ensure uniform and synchronous knocking force, which can easily cause uneven force on the impeller during the interference fit process, affecting the stability and quality of the installation. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an auxiliary fixture for facilitating quick assembly of an impeller, thereby solving the problem.

An annular groove is provided on the front end of the surface of the clamping screw, a connecting plate is rotatably installed on the inner side of the annular groove, a knob is provided on the rear end of the clamping screw, the connecting plate is a triangular structure, and fixing bolts are provided in parallel on three side surfaces of the connecting plate. A first connecting rod is hinged on the surface of the fixing bolt, and one end of the first connecting rod that is away from the fixing bolt is hinged on the telescopic rod, and a roller is rotatably installed on the front side of one end of the telescopic rod that is away from each other.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting ring is placed on the rear side of the vertical plate, the clamping screw passes through the connecting ring, a slot is provided on the surface of the connecting ring, three firing pins are evenly arranged on the front surface of the connecting ring, and the firing pins pass through the extension tube.

[0008] Furthermore, through holes are provided at three corners of the surface of the connection plate, the striker passes through the through holes, and the end of the striker is pressed and installed on the center of the impeller.

[0009] Furthermore, reinforcing rib plates are symmetrically arranged between the back of the vertical plate and the lifting plate, a fixed shaft is arranged between the two reinforcing rib plates, and a swing plate is rotatably mounted on the surface of the fixed shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove is provided on the top of the swing plate, the U-shaped groove is matched with the card slot, and a handle groove is provided below the surface of the swing plate.

[0011] Furthermore, an impact adjustment mechanism is installed on the back of the vertical plate, and the impact adjustment mechanism includes two bosses for fixing the vertical plate on the back, a double screw is rotatably installed between the two bosses, and moving blocks are symmetrically installed on the surface of the double screw, and the two moving blocks are respectively screwed on different thread surfaces.

[0012] Furthermore, a second connecting rod is hinged on the surface of the moving block, two ends of the second connecting rod are hinged on the transverse plate, a tension spring is connected to the surface of the transverse plate, and one end of the tension spring facing away from the transverse plate is connected to the swing plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the mobile lifting mechanism includes a base plate, universal wheels are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate, a fixed seat is installed on the upper surface of the base plate, a first connecting plate is symmetrically hinged on the inner side of the fixed seat, and a connecting shaft is installed at the end of the first connecting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a second connecting plate is hinged on the surface of the connecting shaft, and the ends of the two second connecting plates facing away from the connecting shaft are hinged on the bottom of the connecting platform. The lifting plate is fixed on the connecting platform, and a control screw is laterally screwed between the two connecting shafts, and the two connecting shafts are respectively screwed on different threaded surfaces.

[0015] Furthermore, a centering laser pen is embedded in the front end surface of the clamping screw, and the centering laser pen is used to assist centering.

[0016] The present invention provides an auxiliary jig for facilitating quick assembly of an impeller, and has the following beneficial effects: By setting an extension tube and a circular ring at the front end of the fixed platform and evenly opening sliding grooves on the surface of the circular ring, the centering clamping mechanism can effectively achieve preliminary centering and precise clamping before the impeller enters the volute. Through the transmission linkage structure between the clamping screw, the connecting plate, the first connecting rod and the telescopic rod, the three rollers can be evenly extended outward and close to the inner ring surface of the impeller at the same time, thereby reducing repeated trial and error and frequent shaking during the insertion of the impeller into the volute. Compared with the traditional tooling that relies on manual repeated adjustment and trial installation, through this technical solution, the impeller axis can be aligned with the center of the volute in the early stage of impeller installation, which greatly improves the centering efficiency and accuracy, and reduces the risk of wear and jamming at the mating parts of the impeller and the volute.

[0017] During the assembly process, the flexible movement and height adjustment of the entire device are achieved by setting a universal wheel at the bottom of the fixture and configuring a control screw between the two connecting shafts, so that the impeller can maintain precise control in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This flexible adjustment method can quickly match the installation port position of the volute after centering and clamping, so that the impeller does not need to be repeatedly hoisted and offset with external assistance, greatly reducing the intensity and complexity of the installation operation. At the same time, when the impeller enters the inner cavity of the volute, the roller clamps the impeller from the inside to the outside and there are no additional protrusions on the outer ring surface, which ensures that the impeller is inserted smoothly without repeated probing and slow fine-tuning at the assembly gap, improving the smoothness of installation and reducing surface wear of components.

[0018] By integrating the impact adjustment mechanism and the swing plate with the U-groove and the slot on the back of the fixture, a uniform and controllable impact effect can be provided when the impeller and the rotating shaft of the volute are interference fit. Three strikers penetrate the through hole of the connecting plate and correspond to the center position of the impeller, so as to apply multi-point uniform impact during interference installation, ensure the force balance of the impeller, and avoid tilting, eccentricity or impeller damage caused by uneven force under traditional manual knocking methods. Through the adjustment structure of the double screw, moving block, second connecting rod and tension spring, the preload force and impact strength of the striker can be changed to achieve precise tuning for different impeller sizes or materials. This adjustment method not only improves the assembly quality and efficiency of the interference fit, but also reduces repeated replacement or secondary processing during the installation process, reducing production costs and time consumption.

[0019] During the overall installation process, the auxiliary role of the centering laser pen makes the impeller alignment more intuitive. The laser point clearly indicates the deviation between the impeller center and the volute axis, and the operator does not need to rely on experience to estimate and make tentative adjustments. Compared with the lack of accurate centering reference and the need for repeated trial installation in the background technology, this technical solution significantly shortens the initial positioning time, reduces the difficulty of operation, and ensures that the final installation accuracy of the impeller is greatly improved. With the close cooperation of all components, the entire process of the device from movement, clamping, centering, height adjustment, impact to final interference installation can be precisely controlled, making the installation of large impellers simple, efficient, accurate and stable.

[0035] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, the initial precise centering of the impeller is achieved through the extension tube (material: Q235 carbon structural steel, outer diameter 200mm, wall thickness 5mm) and the ring (material: 40Cr steel, heat treated HRC45-50) structure at the front end of the fixed platform; three slide grooves (each slide groove width 10mm, depth 5mm) are evenly opened on the surface of the ring, and the centering clamping mechanism is composed of a clamping screw (pitch 2mm) made of 304 stainless steel, a connecting plate (equilateral triangle side length 80mm, thickness 8mm), a first connecting rod (length 50mm, diameter 8mm), a telescopic rod (diameter 10mm, length 60mm) and a roller (diameter 30mm, material GCr15 bearing steel). By turning the clamping screw through the knob, the telescopic rod can be extended outward and close to the inner ring surface of the impeller, so as to achieve precise centering before the impeller is inserted into the volute.

[0036] Test conditions: Environmental conditions: temperature 20±2℃, humidity 45±5% Impeller parameters: outer diameter 800mm, inner ring diameter 300mm Initial centering deviation: ±2mm Measuring accuracy: Precision laser centering instrument, accuracy ±0.01mm Experimental data table (unit: mm):

After clamping, the height of the lifting plate can be adjusted within the range of ±20mm by rotating the control screw, so that the impeller can be quickly aligned with the inlet position of the volute.

[0040] Test conditions: Impeller and volute tolerance: impeller outer diameter 800mm, volute inlet inner diameter 805mm Operation method: One technician uses an electric wrench with a constant speed (torque 10N·m) Environmental conditions: temperature 20±2℃, humidity 50±5% Measurement parameters: insertion time (s), insertion force (N), change in roughness of the outer ring surface of the impeller after insertion Ra (μm) Experimental data table:

[0041] Experimental conclusion: This embodiment shortens the insertion time from 20s to about 11.6s, reduces the insertion force from 75N to about 43.8N, and reduces the wear Ra increment from 0.8μm to about 0.26μm, which significantly improves the installation smoothness and reduces friction and surface damage.

[0042] Related formula: F=μN (friction formula) In this embodiment, by improving the centering accuracy and flexible movement, the effective friction process and insertion force are equivalently reduced, so the insertion is faster and the wear is lighter.

[0043] Embodiment 4: This embodiment uses an impact adjustment mechanism (the twin screw 62 is made of 20CrMo material, carburized and quenched; the moving block is 6061 aluminum alloy; the horizontal plate is Q235 steel; the tension spring is spring steel, the elastic coefficient The swing plate is made of 40Cr, HRC45). The position of the moving block can be changed by adjusting the double screw, thereby changing the initial elongation x0 of the tension spring. When released, three strikers (GCr15 steel, end radius R=2mm) generate instantaneous impact energy E.

[0044] Assume E=(1 / 2)kx², when x=15mm, E is approximately 1.5J37.5J.

[0045] Test conditions: Material parameters: Impeller material ZG230-450 Volute interference: 0.05±0.01mm Measurement parameters: average impact force (N), impeller inclination deviation (°), interference fit success rate (%) Force sensor accuracy ±0.5N Experimental data table:

[0046] Experimental conclusion: By precisely adjusting the preload force of the firing pin, uniform and controllable impact can be achieved and tilt deviation can be reduced; the one-time success rate of interference fit is increased by more than 14%.

[0047] Related formula: E=(1 / 2)kx² By controlling x to change E, the impact energy can be controlled to achieve precise interference fit installation.

[0048] Embodiment 5: In this embodiment, a centering laser pen (wavelength 650nm, spot size ≤1mm, output power ≤5mW) is embedded in the front end of the clamping screw, and the laser point is aligned with the center of the volute before the impeller enters the volute, thereby improving the centering speed and accuracy.

[0049] Test conditions: Ambient illumination: 500lux Volute coaxiality tolerance: ±0.05mm Measurement parameters: final coaxiality error (mm), total installation time (s), first-time successful alignment rate (%), average of 5 times Experimental data table:

[0050] Experimental conclusion: With the assistance of a laser pen, the centering error is reduced by about 50%, the total installation time is reduced by about 50%, and the first-time success rate is increased from 80% to 100%, significantly simplifying the centering process and improving accuracy and efficiency.

[0051] Working principle: hoist the large-sized impeller next to the fixture, and make the inner annular surface of the impeller correspond to the three rollers 38 respectively, then rotate the knob 32 to drive the clamping screw 31 to rotate, and the axial movement of the clamping screw 31 can be controlled by rotating the thread of the clamping screw 31. Due to the cooperation between the connecting plate 35 and the annular groove 33, the connecting plate 35 and the clamping screw 31 can be synchronously moved axially, and the connecting plate 35 is controlled to move backward to push the telescopic rod 37 outward through the three first connecting rods 36. The telescopic rod 37 slides inside the slide groove 25. The T-shaped slide groove 25 can ensure that the telescopic rod 37 can only slide. At this time, the roller 38 can squeeze the inner annular surface of the impeller through the outward expansion of the telescopic rod 37 to achieve centering clamping. At this time, the impeller coincides with the center of the ring 24 and remains fixed. The roller 38 allows the impeller to rotate after clamping, so as to adjust the keyway position during installation requiring key cooperation.

[0052] The movement of the fixture as a whole can be controlled by the universal wheel 12 at the bottom to control the impeller to approach the volute, and the distance between the two connecting shafts 15 can be controlled by rotating the control screw 17 to achieve lifting and lowering, so as to adjust the height of the impeller after clamping. The centering laser pen 34 can be used to easily determine the height position, so that the laser point of the centering laser pen 34 corresponds to the center of the volute to be installed. At this time, since the extension tube 221 extends forward, the impeller can be driven into the volute by moving the fixture. The roller 38 clamps from the inside to the outside, so that there are no protrusions on the outer ring surface of the impeller, and then the impeller will not be hindered when entering the volute.

[0053] After the impeller and the volute rotating shaft are in place, the handle groove 42 is used to push the bottom of the swing plate 4 inward, and then the U-shaped groove 41 at the top is flipped outward, and the striker 52 is pulled outward by the cooperation of the U-shaped groove 41 and the card groove 51. At this time, the tension spring 66 is pulled and stored, and the force on the handle groove 42 is released. At this time, the stored force of the tension spring 66 is used to make the end of the striker 52 hit the impeller, so that the impeller and the volute rotating shaft are installed in place. The synchronous impact of the three strikers 52 can ensure that the impact force on the impeller is uniform, and the reciprocating impact on the impeller can achieve interference fit installation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of installation. The position of the cross plate 65 can be controlled by rotating the double screw 62, and then the pulling force on the tension spring 66 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the distance between the striker 52 and the impeller when no force is applied, thereby improving the flexibility of the fixture.
