[0016] Compared with the prior art, the water pump impeller grinding device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. In response to the problems of incomplete impeller grinding area coverage caused by structural and motion trajectory limitations of traditional impeller grinding equipment, and the easy formation of grinding blind spots in the impeller's curved blades and non-blade areas in the inner cavity, which in turn requires multiple equipment to coordinate secondary processing, increasing process complexity and cost, the present invention injects abrasive media with high fluidity into the impeller's inner cavity and utilizes the fluid's adaptive filling characteristics to make the abrasive evenly cover the curved blade surface and the entire inner cavity wall, thereby achieving all-round grinding of the impeller without dead angles, eliminating the secondary processing links of the traditional process, effectively streamlining the process flow, reducing equipment and labor costs, and significantly improving the overall grinding efficiency and processing quality consistency of the impeller;
[0018] Second, since the arc-shaped blades in the inner cavity of the water pump impeller are distributed in a central radial divergent manner, there is a gradient characteristic of the spacing between adjacent arc-shaped blades, that is, the proximal end is narrow and the distal end is wide. Therefore, if the abrasive fluid is simply injected from the center of the impeller, it is easy for the abrasive fluid to escape quickly when it does not fully contact the side wall of the distal end of the blade, resulting in a grinding blind area on the side wall of the distal end of the arc-shaped blade due to insufficient fluid scouring, affecting the overall effect of impeller grinding. To address the above problem, the present invention is provided with a pre-sealing function. Before the abrasive fluid is injected into the impeller, the impeller side wall is sealed with an elastic ring sleeve to construct a closed processing space for the impeller side wall, ensuring that the abrasive fluid can completely fill the impeller inner cavity after injection and fully contact the side walls of various parts of the impeller blades, effectively solving the problem of insufficient abrasive fluid scouring in the open processing mode, eliminating the grinding blind area, effectively ensuring the impeller grinding effect, and significantly improving the integrity and uniformity of the impeller surface processing;
[0019] 3. In the present invention, by setting the driving unit, the elastic ring sleeve can automatically move downward, expand and be sleeved on the side wall of the impeller, so that the elastic ring sleeve adaptively wraps around the side wall of the impeller to form a pre-blocking structure, and can also automatically move upward and shrink back to the initial state to separate from the impeller side wall to achieve reset. That is, the present invention completes the reciprocating movement of one stroke through the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder, which can realize the downward expansion and sleeve and upward contraction and reset of the elastic ring sleeve on the impeller side wall. The whole process realizes fully automated closed-loop control without manual intervention. With precise motion control and structural coordination, the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of the blocking and resetting operations are ensured.
[0020] Fourth, in the present invention, a plurality of groups of connecting plates are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the elastic sleeve along the circumferential direction. The side wall of the elastic sleeve is synchronously driven by the plurality of connecting plates to realize radial expansion and contraction of the elastic sleeve. This method can ensure that the elastic sleeve is uniformly stressed when covering the side wall of the impeller, effectively avoiding the installation tilt problem caused by manual operation deviation or asymmetric force, ensuring the coaxiality and sealing accuracy of the elastic sleeve and the impeller side wall, significantly improving the reliability and sealing of the pre-sealing process, and providing a stable closed working environment for grinding abrasive fluid in the impeller;
[0021] 5. The present invention constructs a mechanism for delayed residence of the elastic ring on the side wall of the impeller through the coordinated design of the second driving frame, the first slide groove, the second slide groove and other components. When the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder is reset upward, the second driving frame preferably moves upward independently relative to the slide rod, ensuring that the slide rod remains in its static state before the second driving frame touches the slide rod. Only after the bottom end of the inner wall of the second driving frame contacts the slide rod, the slide rod is driven to move upward synchronously for subsequent reset. This mechanism realizes the delayed residence of the slide rod at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second slide groove, and then realizes the delayed residence after the elastic ring completes the covering of the impeller side wall, providing sufficient filling time for the abrasive fluid to fill the impeller cavity, so that the abrasive fluid evenly covers the arc-shaped blade surface and the entire inner wall surface of the impeller cavity, thereby creating conditions for full-space abrasive fluid processing of the impeller.
[0022] 6. The abrasive supply unit of the present invention, as an abrasive fluid supply device, can efficiently deliver a sufficient amount of abrasive fluid to the impeller cavity. Its stable feeding performance ensures that the abrasive evenly covers the complex curved surfaces and every corner of the impeller cavity, providing a reliable material foundation for achieving high-precision, dead-angle-free grinding of the entire impeller surface.
[0023] 7. The present invention can achieve coaxial assembly of the impeller and the discharge barrel through the positioning unit. The precise guidance and automatic calibration mechanism of the positioning unit ensures that the impeller is centrally positioned at the bottom of the discharge barrel, so that the abrasive fluid can be accurately injected into the inner cavity along the central axis of the impeller top. This effectively avoids the problems of abrasive fluid cross-flow and leakage caused by assembly deviation, eliminates the processing blind area caused by docking misalignment, and provides reliable positioning guarantee for full-space abrasive flow processing of the impeller inner cavity.
[0024] 8. The present invention, through the coordinated design of the sleeve and the tapered barrel, has established an adaptive caliber adjustment and positioning function, thereby enabling coaxial assembly of impellers of different specifications and sizes with the bottom end of the discharge barrel, effectively compatibility with the grinding requirements of various impeller models; wherein, the tapered barrel adopts a funnel-shaped design that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. By utilizing the principle of conical surface matching, the top periphery of the impeller forms a self-sealing contact with the inner wall of the tapered barrel, ensuring that the abrasive fluid can be accurately injected into the impeller cavity in different caliber adaptation scenarios, providing reliable sealing protection and fluid transmission stability for efficient grinding of the impeller cavity;
[0025] IX. The support assembly of the present invention, as a supporting and positioning component, has a dual function: first, it provides a stable support platform for the impeller, assisting its precise placement into the inner cavity of the annular seat for abrasive flow machining; second, the vertical height of the support seat is set to be greater than the height of the blades in the inner cavity of the impeller, thereby forming a temporary buffer space for the abrasive fluid, ensuring that the abrasive fluid first fills the support seat chamber after the impeller inner cavity is machined. After the abrasive fluid reaches the critical position, it overflows through the top edge of the support seat to the annular bottom plate and enters the recycling process through the through groove. The provision of the support seat can effectively prevent the abrasive fluid from being emptied prematurely, ensuring that the inner cavity of the impeller is always fully covered by the abrasive during the machining process, significantly improving the grinding effect and machining quality consistency of the entire area of the impeller surface;
[0026] 10. The present invention is provided with a support unit that has the dual functions of mechanical bearing and fluid diversion. On the one hand, it provides a stable mounting base for each functional component, ensuring the structural strength and assembly accuracy of the system. On the other hand, by providing components such as through grooves, a directional discharge channel for the abrasive fluid is constructed, achieving orderly diversion of the abrasive after processing.
[0027] 11. The abrasive recovery unit and abrasive fluid recovery device configured in the present invention is responsible for collecting the abrasive fluid discharged through the through slot after processing. Through the collecting structure of the collecting funnel and the diversion path of the diversion pipe, it can efficiently collect and temporarily store the used abrasive fluid, providing standardized material input for subsequent separation, purification, recycling and other processing processes, thereby realizing closed-loop management and resource utilization of the abrasive fluid processing process;
[0028] 12. The present invention constructs an integrated impeller grinding and processing system, which integrates the processes of impeller centering and clamping, abrasive flow processing of the entire surface of the impeller cavity, abrasive fluid supply and recovery processing into a continuous operation process, and achieves precise coordination and seamless connection between the various functional units, significantly improving processing efficiency, effectively reducing manual intervention and process turnover time, and providing a complete solution for efficient and high-quality manufacturing of impellers.
[0029] In summary, the present invention realizes high efficiency and precision in the whole process of impeller grinding: the adaptive filling characteristics of the abrasive medium fluid are utilized to eliminate the blind spots of traditional grinding, streamline the process flow, reduce equipment and labor costs, and improve grinding efficiency and quality consistency; the pre-sealing design and delayed residence mechanism ensure that the abrasive fluid fully covers all parts of the impeller cavity to ensure the grinding effect; the automated sealing component and multiple sets of synchronous drive settings achieve precise sealing, avoid manual operation deviation, and provide a stable closed environment for grinding; the adaptive caliber adjustment and positioning system is compatible with a variety of impeller models to ensure precise injection of abrasives; the supporting positioning components cooperate with the guide structure to prevent the abrasives from being emptied prematurely and ensure full-area grinding; in addition, the integrated design of the mechanical bearing and fluid guide of the support unit provides stable support for the system and realizes orderly discharge of abrasives; the recovery device realizes closed-loop management and resource utilization of abrasives; the various functional units are seamlessly connected to form an integrated operation process, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of impeller grinding.

With the help of the special shape of the connecting plate 3010, it can be ensured that when the connecting plate 3010 pulls the connecting seat 3011 and the side wall of the elastic ring 4 outward, the connecting plate 3010 will not be separated from the inner cavity of the connecting seat 3011, that is, the stable connection between the connecting plate 3010 and the connecting seat 3011 is ensured, and the side wall of the connecting seat 3011 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the elastic ring 4. Due to the first U-shaped The other end of the frame 3009 is connected to the elastic ring 4 through the connecting plate 3010 and the connecting seat 3011, and when the elastic ring 4 itself is stretched equidistantly in the circumferential direction, the elastic ring 4 generates a horizontal inward elastic force, which can ensure that the first U-shaped frame 3009, the connecting plate 3010, and the connecting seat 3011 move in the horizontal direction, that is, through the circumferential six groups of sliding rods 3008 moving outward, the elastic ring 4 is subjected to a circumferential uniform tension to expand, and under the guidance of the first slide groove 3006, the elastic ring 4 is elastically extended. The elastic ring sleeve 4 expands and moves downward to be sleeved on the outside of the impeller 1, preparing for the subsequent elastic ring sleeve 4 to wrap around the opening of the side wall of the impeller 1; the first driving frame 3012 and the second driving frame 3013 form a frame for the slide bar 3008 to move, and the frame is provided with two groups, and the two groups of frames are symmetrically sleeved on both ends of the slide bar 3008; the second U-shaped frame 3014 is fixedly and vertically installed on the top of the two groups of frames, and the top of the second U-shaped frame 3014 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the driving ring 3003, through the driving ring 30 03 moves downward, which can drive the six groups of second U-shaped frames 3014 to move downward synchronously, thereby prompting the two groups of first drive frames 3012 and second drive frames 3013 at the bottom of each group of second U-shaped frames 3014 to move downward synchronously, so as to drive all the slide bars 3008 to move synchronously, thereby eliminating manual operation errors and the influence of asymmetric force, ensuring that the elastic ring sleeve 4 is coaxial and tightly fitted with the side wall of the impeller 1, greatly improving the pre-sealing sealing performance, and building a stable closed space for impeller abrasive flow processing; for details, mainly refer to; Figure 7 As shown, the transverse dimension of the inner cavity of the second driving frame 3013 is larger than the span dimension of the second chute 3007 in the horizontal projection direction. This ensures that when the second driving frame 3013 moves upward, it can drive the sliding rod 3008 to move smoothly along the inner cavity of the second chute 3007 to the inner cavity of the first chute 3006, thereby avoiding the defect that the transverse dimension of the inner cavity of the second driving frame 3013 is too small, which restricts the movement of the sliding rod 3008 in the second chute 3007 and the first chute 3006.
[0055] Specifically, the first hydraulic cylinder 3001 is activated to drive the second mounting plate 3002 and the drive ring 3003 downward, so that the second U-shaped frame 3014 drives the first drive frame 3012 downward synchronously, and the slide rod 3008 is pressed down along the first slide groove 3006 by the first drive frame 3012. The first U-shaped frame 3009, the connecting plate 3010, and the connecting seat 3011 exert an outward pulling force on the side wall of the elastic ring sleeve 4, so that the elastic ring sleeve 4 expands circumferentially while descending and is sleeved on the side wall of the impeller 1. When the slide rod 3008 enters the second slide groove 3007, the elastic force of the elastic ring sleeve 4 causes the relevant components to shrink toward the center, and the elastic ring sleeve 4 shrinks and fits the side wall of the impeller 1 to form a pre-blocking structure.
[0056] After the driving unit 3 drives the elastic ring sleeve 4 to complete the sealing of the side wall of the impeller 1, the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3001 moves downward to the limit, and the slide bar 3008 is pressed against the inner wall of the first driving frame 3012 under the pressure and is above the inner cavity of the second driving frame 3013; when resetting, the second mounting plate 3002 and other components move upward synchronously, and the second driving frame 3013 first moves upward relative to the slide bar 3008. After the contact, the slide bar 3008 is driven to move from the second slide groove 3007 to the first slide groove 3006, so that the elastic ring sleeve 4 first expands and separates from the side wall of the impeller 1 and then retracts and resets. This process realizes the delayed residence of the slide bar 3008, so as to prompt the elastic ring sleeve 4 to stay stably, providing time for the abrasive to fill the inner cavity of the impeller 1;
[0057] The present invention relies on the single reciprocating motion of the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3001 to construct an automated operation closed-loop system for the elastic ring sleeve 4 on the side wall of the impeller 1, which can realize the continuous action of the elastic ring sleeve 4 automatically expanding and sleeved in the downward stage, and synchronously contracting and resetting in the upward stage. This process does not require human intervention throughout, and relies on precise structural coordination and displacement control to ensure that the blocking and resetting processes have high execution efficiency, positioning accuracy and operational reliability.

[0059] The support unit 2 of the present invention has composite functional characteristics. At the mechanical structure level, it serves as a stable installation platform, providing reliable support for the various functional components of the system, ensuring the overall structural strength and assembly accuracy. At the fluid management level, through the structural design of the through groove 2004 and other structures, a dedicated abrasive fluid discharge channel is constructed to achieve directional transmission and orderly collection of the abrasive after processing, ensuring the efficient operation of the abrasive circulation process.
[0060] Main references Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the present invention also includes a supporting component 5, which includes: a second hydraulic cylinder 5001, a supporting plate 5002 and a supporting seat 5003. The second hydraulic cylinder 5001 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the first mounting plate 2002; the supporting plate 5002 is fixedly mounted on the bottom output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 5001; the supporting seat 5003 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the supporting plate 5002, and the supporting seat 5003 is plugged into the hollow inner cavity of the annular bottom plate 2003 in the vertical direction, and the impeller 1 is placed in the inner cavity of the supporting seat 5003. A rubber sealing ring is installed at the edge of the bottom end of the side wall of the supporting seat 5003. After the supporting seat 5003 is inserted upward and embedded in the inner cavity of the annular bottom plate 2003, the impeller 1 is placed in the inner cavity of the supporting seat 5003. The sealing ring can realize the formation of a sealed space between the supporting seat 5003 and the annular bottom film 2003, thereby preventing the abrasive fluid from leaking from the connection between the supporting seat 5003 and the annular bottom film 2003; the vertical height of the supporting seat 5003 exceeds the height of the blades in the inner cavity of the impeller 1. When the elastic ring sleeve 4 releases the blockage of the side wall of the impeller 1 and resets, the abrasive fluid in the inner cavity of the impeller 1 flows into the supporting seat 5003 through the side wall opening. Since the height of the supporting seat 5003 is greater than the blades in the inner cavity of the impeller 1, a temporary buffer zone is formed. After the grinding is completed, the abrasive fluid first fills the supporting seat 5003, and when the liquid level rises to the top edge, it overflows to the annular bottom film 2003 and then enters the recycling process through the through groove 2004, thereby realizing orderly recycling and processing;
[0061] Place the impeller 1 in the relatively central area inside the support seat 5003. After starting the second hydraulic cylinder 5001, its output end drives the support plate 5002, the support seat 5003 and the impeller 1 in its inner cavity to move upward synchronously. During this process, the support seat 5003 moves upward along the hollow channel of the annular base 2003. When the bottom edge of the support seat 5003 and the bottom edge of the annular seat 2001 are at the same horizontal position, the impeller 1 accurately reaches the predetermined grinding operation station.

Valve, the solenoid valve can also be controlled and adjusted by an external controller. By switching the solenoid valve, it can control whether the feeding cylinder 6003 and the discharging cylinder 6007 are in a connected state, and provide convenience for controlling whether the abrasive in the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 6003 enters the inner cavity of the discharging cylinder 6007 for subsequent grinding. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The above-mentioned components all adopt common models on the market, which can meet the corresponding use requirements in this application. The above-mentioned existing components are not limited to the models and will not be described in detail here.
[0063] When the solenoid valve between the feed barrel 6003 and the discharge barrel 6007 is opened, the third hydraulic cylinder 6005 starts to drive the circular pressing plate 6006 downward along the inner cavity of the feed barrel 6003. By applying auxiliary pressure, the abrasive fluid in the feed barrel 6003 is pushed to accelerate the flow toward the discharge barrel 6007 and the inner cavity of the impeller 1. The abrasive fluid is injected through the top center of the impeller 1, and under the obstruction of the elastic ring sleeve 4 of the sealing member, it gradually and evenly fills the curved blade side wall and the entire inner wall surface of the inner cavity of the impeller 1, ensuring sufficient coverage and efficient grinding.
[0064] The abrasive supply unit 6 has an efficient feeding capacity and can stably deliver sufficient abrasive fluid to the inner cavity of the impeller 1, ensuring that the abrasive evenly covers the complex surface and fine structure of the inner cavity of the impeller 1, laying a solid material guarantee foundation for high-precision and full-coverage grinding operations on the entire surface of the impeller.
[0065] Main references Figures 10 to 12 As shown, a positioning unit 7 is provided at the abrasive supply unit 6, and the positioning unit 7 includes: a third mounting plate 7001, a fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002, a sleeve 7003 and a tapered cylinder 7004, the third mounting plate 7001 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the discharge cylinder 6007; the fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002 is fixedly and vertically mounted on the lower surface of the third mounting plate 7001; the sleeve 7003 is slidably sleeved on the discharge cylinder 6007, and the bottom output end of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the sleeve 7003; the tapered cylinder 7004 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the sleeve 7003, and the tapered cylinder 7004 is funnel-shaped with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part, and the impeller 1, the tapered cylinder 7004, the sleeve 7003 and the discharge cylinder 6007 are coaxially arranged;
[0066] After starting the fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002, the driving sleeve 7003 and the conical cylinder 7004 move downward synchronously. The conical cylinder 7004 has a funnel-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. According to the conical surface matching mechanism, it fits tightly with the top edge of the impeller 1 during the descending process to form an adaptive seal. This not only ensures that the abrasive fluid can be accurately injected into the inner cavity of the impeller 1 under different caliber specifications, but also utilizes the guiding effect of the inner wall of the conical surface of the conical cylinder 7004 to achieve automatic coaxial positioning of the impeller 1 and the bottom end of the discharge cylinder 6007, providing reliable guarantee for the precise delivery and efficient grinding of the abrasive fluid.
[0067] Main references Figure 1 、 Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, an abrasive recovery unit 8 is provided at the bottom end of the support unit 2. The abrasive recovery unit 8 includes: a collecting funnel 8001, a guide pipe 8002 and a solenoid valve 8003. The collecting funnel 8001 is installed on the lower surface of the annular bottom plate 2003, and the position of the collecting funnel 8001 corresponds to the position of the through groove 2004; the guide pipe 8002 is connected to the inner cavity of the collecting funnel 8001, and the guide pipe 8002 is configured in a Y shape; the solenoid valve 8003 is provided at the bottom end of the guide pipe 8002. The solenoid valve 8003 adopts a commonly used solenoid valve on the market, which is controlled to open or close to achieve centralized discharge processing of the collected abrasive;
[0068] The abrasive fluid discharged through the through groove 2004 enters the inner cavity of the collecting funnel 8001, and enters the centralized collection link in an orderly manner under the guidance of the guide pipe 8002. By controlling the opening and closing state of the solenoid valve 8003, the discharge process of the abrasive fluid in the guide pipe 8002 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby achieving efficient convergence and controllable temporary storage of the abrasive fluid after use, providing buffering and allocation space for subsequent processing steps.
[0069] In summary, the present invention integrates core processes such as centering and clamping of the impeller 1, abrasive fluid processing of the entire inner cavity surface, and abrasive fluid supply and recovery processing to form a coherent automated operation chain. By precisely designing the coordination mechanism between various functional units, seamless connection between processes is achieved, which greatly improves processing efficiency, effectively reduces the time spent on manual operation and process flow, and realizes efficient and integrated impeller grinding production.
[0070] In addition, the abrasive fluid used to polish the inner cavity of the impeller is mainly composed of three parts: abrasive particles, carrier fluid, and additives. Abrasive particles are the main component of the abrasive fluid, and materials with high hardness and good wear resistance are usually selected, such as silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, diamond, etc.; the carrier fluid carries the abrasive particles and disperses them evenly, and at the same time plays a role in cooling and lubricating during the polishing process. Commonly used carrier fluids include oils, water-based fluids, etc.; additives are added to improve the performance of the abrasive fluid, and some auxiliary components are added. For example, adding a dispersant can make the abrasive particles more evenly dispersed in the carrier fluid, prevent particles from agglomerating, and ensure the stability and consistency of the abrasive fluid; adding a corrosion inhibitor can protect the impeller during the polishing process and prevent the impeller from being corroded; in addition, some surfactants may be added to reduce the surface tension of the abrasive fluid so that it can better wet the impeller surface and improve the polishing effect. The above-mentioned abrasive fluid is a prior art, which can meet the polishing requirements of the impeller cavity and will not be elaborated or limited here.
[0071] It is worth noting that, in the present application, the first hydraulic cylinder 3001, the second hydraulic cylinder 5001, the third hydraulic cylinder 6005, and the fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002 are self-locking cylinders commonly used on the market, and their output ends can stay at any position and be locked, and the output ends of the above components can all realize the reciprocating movement function. They are prior art and adopt common models on the market, and are not described or limited here. In addition, the present application is provided with an external controller, which adopts a common model on the market, and refers to a main command device that changes the wiring of the main circuit or control circuit and changes the resistance value in the circuit in a predetermined order to control the start, speed regulation, braking and reverse of the motor, and can control the first hydraulic cylinder 3001, the second hydraulic cylinder 5001, the third hydraulic cylinder 6005, and the fourth hydraulic cylinder in the present application. 7002, solenoid valve 8003 and other components perform the corresponding instructions. In addition, the timing of the coordinated action of various parts in this solution can be controlled by an external controller. Specifically, the external controller can control the supporting component 5 to lift the impeller 1 into the supporting unit 2, the positioning unit 7 to center and align the impeller 1, the elastic ring sleeve 4 is first sleeved on the side wall of the impeller 1 to form a pre-sealing structure, the elastic ring sleeve 4 is delayed on the side wall of the impeller 1, the abrasive supply unit 6 injects abrasive fluid into the impeller 1 for grinding, and the elastic ring sleeve 4 is separated from the side wall of the impeller 1 and resets upward, forming a set of coherent and smooth impeller 1 automatic grinding process. The external controller is used to control the action and connection timing of the above components. It is an existing general technology and will not be elaborated or limited here.
[0072] The working principle of a water pump impeller grinding device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0073] First, the impeller 1 to be polished is placed in the polishing station: the impeller 1 is initially placed in the relative center position of the support seat 5003, and then the output end of the opened second hydraulic cylinder 5001 is used to drive the support plate 5002, the support seat 5003 and the impeller 1 in the inner cavity of the support seat 5003 to move upward, so that the support seat 5003 moves upward along the hollow cavity of the annular bottom plate 2003 until the bottom edge of the support seat 5003 moves upward to be flush with the bottom edge of the annular seat 2001. At this time, the impeller 1 reaches the polishing station;
[0074] Then, the positioning unit 7 is used to center and align the impeller 1 with the bottom end of the discharge barrel 6007: the sleeve 7003 and the tapered barrel 7004 are driven downward by the opened fourth hydraulic cylinder 7002. Since the tapered barrel 7004 is in the shape of a funnel with a narrow top and a wide bottom, the tapered barrel 7004 moving downward is tightly against the peripheral edge of the top of the impeller 1 to form a self-sealing contact by utilizing the principle of conical surface matching, ensuring that the abrasive fluid can be accurately injected into the inner cavity of the impeller 1 in different caliber adaptation scenarios, and the conical inner wall of the tapered barrel 7004 will guide the impeller 1 to automatically center and align inside it, that is, the coaxial assembly of impellers 1 of different specifications and sizes with the bottom end of the discharge barrel 6007 is realized, ensuring that the subsequent abrasive fluid accurately enters the impeller 1 to play a grinding role;
[0075] The side wall of the impeller 1 is pre-sealed by the elastic ring 4: the second mounting plate 3002 and the driving ring 3003 are driven downward by the opened first hydraulic cylinder 3001, so as to prompt each group of second U-shaped frames 3014 to drive the first driving frames 3012 at the corresponding positions to move downward synchronously. At this time, the slide bars 3008 at each position are acted upon by the pressure of the first driving frames 3012, and move downward along the first sliding grooves 3006 at the corresponding positions, so as to prompt the first U-shaped frames 3009, the connecting plates 3010 and the connecting seats 3011 to apply an outward pulling force to the side wall of the elastic ring 4, so as to prompt The elastic ring sleeve 4 is forced to expand in the circumferential direction, so that the elastic ring sleeve 4 moves downward and expands at the side wall of the impeller 1; as the slide bar 3008 enters the second slide groove 3007 along the first slide groove 3006, the elastic force of the elastic ring sleeve 4 causes the connecting seat 3011, the connecting plate 3010, the first U-shaped frame 3009, and the slide bar 3008 to shrink toward the center direction of the elastic ring sleeve 4, that is, the elastic ring sleeve 4 shrinks and fits the side wall of the impeller 1, thereby the elastic ring sleeve 4 is tightly wrapped around the side wall of the impeller 1 under the action of its own elastic force, forming a pre-blocking structure at the side wall of the impeller 1;
[0076] When the solenoid valve provided between the feed cylinder 6003 and the discharge cylinder 6007 is opened, the circular pressing piece 6006 is driven by the opened third hydraulic cylinder 6005 to move downward along the inner cavity of the feed cylinder 6003, thereby assisting in applying pressure to the abrasive fluid in the inner cavity of the feed cylinder 6003, causing the abrasive fluid to move more tightly and fully downward to the discharge cylinder 6007 and the inner cavity of the impeller 1. The abrasive fluid enters the inner cavity of the impeller 1 from the top center thereof. Under the blocking effect of the closed elastic ring 4, the abrasive fluid gradually fills the arcuate side walls and other inner walls of the blades in the inner cavity of the impeller 1.
[0077] After the driving unit 3 drives the elastic ring 4 to complete the sealing operation on the side wall of the impeller 1, the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3001 moves downward to the limit position. At this time, the slide bar 3008 is pressed against the inner wall of the first drive frame 3012 under the pressure of the first drive frame 3012, and corresponds to the upper position of the inner cavity of the second drive frame 3013; as the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3001 starts the reset stroke, the second mounting plate 3002, the drive ring 3003, the second U-shaped frame 3014, the first drive frame 3012 and the second drive frame 3013 move upward synchronously, wherein the second drive frame 3013 is preferentially relative to the slide bar 3008. The second drive frame 3013 moves upward relative to each other until the bottom end of the inner wall of the second drive frame 3013 contacts the slide bar 3008, and the two form a linkage ascending mechanism, that is, the second drive frame 3013 drives the slide bar 3008 to gradually move along the second slide groove 3007 to the inner cavity of the first slide groove 3006, so that the elastic ring 4 first expands outward to separate from the side wall of the impeller 1, and then retracts upward to reset; thereby achieving the controllable delayed residence of the slide bar 3008 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second slide groove 3007, thereby ensuring that the elastic ring 4 remains stable after covering the side wall of the impeller 1, creating ample time for the abrasive fluid to fully fill the inner cavity of the impeller 1;
[0078] When the elastic ring sleeve 4 is retracted upward and reset to its initial position and no longer blocks the side wall of the impeller 1, the abrasive fluid in the inner cavity of the impeller 1 enters the inner cavity of the support seat 5003 through the opening in the side wall of the impeller 1; because the vertical height of the support seat 5003 exceeds the height of the blades in the inner cavity of the impeller 1, a temporary buffer cavity for the abrasive fluid is constructed. After the grinding operation of the inner cavity of the impeller 1 is completed, the abrasive fluid first fills the cavity of the support seat 5003. When it reaches the top edge of the support seat 5003, the abrasive fluid overflows to the annular bottom plate 2003 and enters the recycling process through the through groove 2004;
[0079] The abrasive fluid flowing down through the through slot 2004 enters the inner cavity of the collecting funnel 8001 and enters the subsequent centralized collection process under the guidance of the guide pipe 8002 for processing. The opening or closing of the solenoid valve 8003 can control whether the abrasive fluid in the inner cavity of the guide pipe 8002 is discharged, thereby achieving efficient collection and temporary storage of the used abrasive fluid.
[0080] The present invention realizes high efficiency and precision in the whole process of impeller grinding: the adaptive filling characteristics of the abrasive medium fluid are utilized to eliminate the blind spots of traditional grinding, streamline the process flow, reduce equipment and labor costs, and improve grinding efficiency and quality consistency; the pre-sealing design and delayed residence mechanism ensure that the abrasive fluid fully covers all parts of the impeller cavity to ensure the grinding effect; the automated sealing component and multiple sets of synchronous drive settings achieve precise sealing, avoid manual operation deviation, and provide a stable closed environment for grinding; the adaptive caliber adjustment and positioning system is compatible with a variety of impeller models to ensure precise injection of abrasives; the supporting positioning components cooperate with the guide structure to prevent the abrasives from being emptied prematurely and ensure full-area grinding; in addition, the integrated design of the mechanical bearing and fluid guide of the support unit 2 provides stable support for the system and realizes orderly discharge of the abrasive; the recovery device realizes closed-loop management and resource utilization of the abrasive; the various functional units are seamlessly connected to form an integrated operation process, which significantly improves the efficiency and quality of the impeller grinding process.

[0083] With reference to Example 1, the positioning unit 7 realizes the centering of the impellers 1 of different diameters at the supporting assembly 5 . Similarly, the positioning requirement for the large-diameter impeller 1 in this embodiment can be realized.
[0084] Specifically, adaptive caliber adjustment and precise positioning functions are realized through the sleeve 7003 and the tapered cylinder 7004. This structure can flexibly adapt to impellers 1 of different specifications, ensuring their coaxial assembly with the bottom end of the discharge cylinder 6007, and effectively meeting the grinding requirements of various impeller models; the tapered cylinder 7004 adopts a funnel-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Based on the principle of conical surface matching, the top periphery of the impeller 1 and the inner wall of the tapered cylinder 7004 form a dynamic self-seal, ensuring that under different caliber working conditions, the abrasive fluid can be accurately injected into the inner cavity of the impeller 1, providing reliable sealing performance and stable fluid transmission effect for the impeller inner cavity grinding operation.
