Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of modular tooling equipment, and relates to modular tooling for mass production of reciprocating pump frames. Background Technology
[0002] The fracturing pump is the core equipment of the fracturing acidizing unit, characterized by high pressure, strong stability, compact structure and light weight; the plunger pump frame is the core component of the plunger pump. With the continuous expansion of the fracturing market demand, the conventional method of manually assembling the frame can no longer meet the production capacity requirements, and it is necessary to use welding robots to meet the needs of mass production.
[0003] The plunger pump is a multi-cylinder crankshaft connecting rod reciprocating pump with a multi-wall plate welded frame. The frame has many machining parts, each requiring high dimensional accuracy. Welding deviations lead to uneven machining allowances during overall processing, resulting in uneven finished dimensions and increased product weight. Plunger pumps have extremely high weight control requirements; otherwise, the fracturing truck's operation will be affected. Secondly, due to space constraints, lubricating oil holes and gland holes on the bearing seats can only be machined individually. Welding deviations can cause misalignment between the finished oil groove and the individually machined lubricating oil hole, and prevent the installation of the bearing gland, affecting product quality. Welding robots are mainly used for mass production of single pieces on assembly lines, requiring high repeatability of the test pieces. Current welding robots have limited automatic correction capabilities and require high assembly accuracy of the workpieces before welding, mainly in: 1) consistency of the position and dimensions of individual welds, bevels, and assembly gaps; 2) consistency of the assembly dimensions of batch pump frames. Conventional manual assembly methods are difficult to achieve the requirements of robotic welding.
[0004] Therefore, a modular tooling is needed to meet the requirements of mass production of machine frames. It should not only meet the accuracy requirements of the dimensions of the processed parts, but also meet the requirements of robot welding for bevels, assembly gaps, positional dimensions, batch consistency, etc., and meet the requirements of assembly efficiency for mass production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined tooling for the mass production of reciprocating pump frames, which solves the problems of multiple machining parts and low assembly accuracy of existing reciprocating pump frames.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a combined tooling for mass production of reciprocating pump frames, comprising two transverse guide rails and two longitudinal guide rails, the two transverse guide rails and two longitudinal guide rails forming a rectangular structure;
[0007] A left wall panel assembly is installed at one end of two longitudinal guide rails, and a right wall panel assembly is installed at the other end. The left wall panel assembly and the right wall panel assembly are perpendicular to the longitudinal guide rails respectively. A traveling mechanism is installed between the left wall panel assembly and one of the longitudinal guide rails.
[0008] A front wall panel assembly is installed at one end of the two transverse guide rails, and a rear wall panel assembly is installed at the other end. The front wall panel assembly and the rear wall panel assembly are perpendicular to the transverse guide rails, and the front wall panel assembly is located on the side closer to the traveling mechanism.
[0009] The invention is further characterized by:
[0010] The traveling mechanism includes a servo motor mounted on the left wall panel assembly, with a gear on the output shaft of the servo motor and a rack fixed on one of the longitudinal guide rails, the gear and rack meshing.
[0011] The left and right wall panel assemblies are symmetrically equipped with a three-jaw chuck and a side positioning post, with the side positioning post located on the side closer to the traveling mechanism.
[0012] The right wall panel assembly is also equipped with positioning pins.
[0013] Front positioning posts are symmetrically arranged on the front wall panel assembly and the rear wall panel assembly.
[0014] Several sets of support mechanisms are also provided between the left wall panel assembly and the right wall panel assembly. Each set of support mechanisms includes two support mechanisms, which are arranged parallel to the left wall panel assembly.
[0015] The support mechanism includes a telescopic rod and a base. Both the telescopic rod and the base are T-shaped structures, with one end of the base axially fitted with the telescopic rod.
[0016] The base has a locking bolt radially installed at one end of the inner telescopic rod.
[0017] It also includes several spacing positioning devices, each of which includes two sets of clamping bolts.
[0018] It also includes a support rib positioning block, which has an "I" shaped structure.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] (1) Design a combination tooling to position the machining parts such as bearing housing, ensure the welding dimensional accuracy of the machining parts, and meet the overall machining allowance requirements after the frame is welded.
[0021] (2) The bearing seat inner hole and overall length of the main wall plate are machined as single parts to ensure that the dimensions of the machined bearing seat part and the weld parts at both ends are consistent. The flatness of the plate surface is controlled to ensure the consistency of the dimensions, bevel and combination gap of each weld position on the main wall plate. The flatness of the plate surface of other parts is controlled to ensure the relative dimensional accuracy of the weld and the consistency of the combination gap.
[0022] (3) By combining the positioning of the combined tooling with ensuring the consistency of the dimensions of individual parts, the welding robot’s requirements for the consistency of the welding parts are met. The batch consistency requirements are met by the repeated positioning accuracy of the tooling. At the same time, the positioning of the tooling avoids repeated dimension measurements and improves the combination efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The left-side partial structure of the combined tooling of this invention, such as... Figure 4As shown, a three-jaw chuck 17 and a side positioning post 18 are symmetrically arranged on the left wall panel assembly 8 and the right wall panel assembly 9, respectively. The side positioning post 18 is located near the side of the traveling mechanism 16. A positioning pin 22 is also provided on the right wall panel assembly 9. The left wall panel assembly 8 has a three-jaw chuck 17 and a side positioning post 18. In use, the side of the bearing seat 3-1 on the main wall panel 3 is in close contact with the side of the left wall panel assembly 8, which controls the axial direction of the bearing seat 3-1 to be parallel to the longitudinal guide rail 13.

Another main wall plate 3 is placed into the left wall plate assembly 8, so that the side of the main wall plate 3 is close to the left wall plate assembly 8. The positioning post 18 contacts the inner contour of the main wall plate 3. The three-jaw chuck is adjusted to support the bearing seat and machine the inner hole for centering. The servo motor 20 drives the left wall plate assembly 8 to move on the longitudinal guide rail 13 to the theoretical position of the main wall plate 3. Then, the telescopic rod 23 in the support mechanism 14 extends and contacts the main wall plate 3. The telescopic rod 23 is locked with the locking bolt on the base 24. The spacing positioning device 15 is then engaged between the two adjacent plates. On the main wall panel 3, the rotating bolt 25 is used to position and clamp the main wall panel 3. Then, the three-jaw chuck 17 on the left wall panel assembly 8 is retracted to remove the left wall panel assembly 8. Using the left wall panel assembly, the remaining main wall panels 3 are installed sequentially according to the steps described in this article. After each main wall panel 3 is positioned, the front wall panel assembly 10 is slid on the transverse guide rail 12 to make the side of the front wall panel 1 flush with the front straight edge of the main wall panel 3. The rear wall panel assembly 11 is slid on the transverse guide rail 12 to make the side of the rear wall panel 5 flush with the rear straight edge of the main wall panel 3. Spot welding is then used to fix the rear wall panel 5. The support rib 2 is placed in position first, and the support rib positioning block 2 is then placed in position. 6. Place the support rib between the support rib and the front wall panel, ensuring that one side of the support rib positioning block 26 is flush with the side of the front wall panel 1 and the other side is flush with the side of the support rib 2. Ensure that the support rib 2 and the front wall panel 1 are parallel and that the upper and lower ends of the support frame are flush with the upper and lower ends of the main wall panel. Use an electric welding machine to spot weld and fix it. Shrink the three-jaw chuck 17 on the right wall panel assembly 9, remove the positioning pin of the right wall panel assembly, and slide the right wall panel assembly 9 to remove the right wall panel assembly 9 from the main wall panel 3. Then, remove the remaining fixtures in sequence, move the main frame of the machine frame to the welding station of the welding robot for welding, and assemble the remaining accessories.
[0055] This invention relates to a modular tooling for the mass production of reciprocating pump frames. It can adapt to box-frame products similar to plunger pump frames with different bore diameters and spacing dimensions. The tooling uses mutually perpendicular longitudinal guide rails 13 and transverse guide rails 12 as installation references. The center of the positioning holes is located by a three-jaw chuck 17 on the left and right wall panel assemblies 8 and 9. Continuous movement of the left and right wall panel assemblies 8 and 9 on the longitudinal guide rails 13 achieves control over the axial positioning dimensions of the holes. The adjustable range of the three-jaw chuck 17 can accommodate plunger pump frame assemblies with different bearing housing inner diameters 3-1. During spacing positioning, the locked position of the right wall panel assembly 9 is used as a reference. The left wall panel assembly 8 is driven by a servo motor 20 in the traveling mechanism 16. The traveling accuracy of the servo motor 20 with gears and the rack 21 in the traveling mechanism 16 meets the positioning accuracy requirements for different spacing dimensions, thus achieving control over the axial dimensions. By utilizing the continuous movement of the front wall panel assembly 10 and the rear wall panel assembly 11 on the transverse guide rail 12, it is also possible to expand the adaptability to different longitudinal lengths, and different sizes of front positioning posts 19 can be manufactured according to the actual contour dimensions. This can meet the needs of rack combinations of different sizes, and also meet the needs of batch combination and positioning of similar box racks.
[0056] The tooling positioning ensures the dimensional accuracy of the machine frame's machining parts, and the single-part manufacturing method ensures the relative positional dimensional accuracy of the machining and welding parts, which in turn ensures the positional dimensional accuracy of the weld. The repeatability of the tooling positioning accuracy ensures the consistency of the machine frame assembly batch.
