Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dynamic balancing technology for fan blades, and more particularly to a fan blade weight-reducing balancing device. Background Technology
[0002] A fan blade is a blade-shaped component that is driven by rotation or fluid. It is widely used in equipment such as fans, wind turbines, and aircraft propellers to provide ventilation, power generation, and other functions. Its shape and material depend on its application.
[0003] In the production and manufacturing process of fan blades, in order to ensure the balance performance of the fan blades when rotating at high speed and to avoid vibration, noise or even damage to the equipment caused by imbalance, it is a crucial step to perform precise weight reduction on the fan blades.
[0004] Currently, existing fan blade weight-reducing and balancing devices have many limitations in practical applications: the grooving angle of the existing devices is not flexible enough, and the angle of the grooving structure is fixed or has a limited range of adjustment. It is impossible to flexibly adjust the angle with the grooving surface of the fan blade according to the actual structure of the fan blade and the weight reduction requirements, thus making it difficult to achieve grooving operations with different angles, widths, and shapes. For example, when it is necessary to groove the surface of the fan blade with different degrees of inclination, the existing devices can often only cut grooves of fixed width or shape, and cannot adapt to diverse grooving requirements by adjusting the grinding wheel angle. This results in unsatisfactory weight reduction effect, making it difficult to meet the balance performance requirements of fan blades of different specifications and in different usage scenarios, thus limiting the applicability and processing efficiency of the device. In addition, the existing devices cannot switch between fine grooving and coarse grooving, further affecting the weight reduction quality of the fan blade.
[0005] Therefore, a fan blade weight-reducing and balancing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] In this embodiment, by Figure 1-7 Provided is a fan blade weight-reducing and balancing device, comprising: The base 1, the clamping component 2 and the frame 3 are provided on the base 1, and the frame 3 is provided with an adjustment mechanism; The adjustment mechanism is provided with a transverse frame 6, and a slotting mechanism 7 is movably connected inside the transverse frame 6. The slotting mechanism 7 can be in a vertical state or an inclined state. The transverse frame 6 is provided with an angle adjustment mechanism 8, which is used to drive the slotting mechanism 7 to move between the vertical state and the inclined state. It's important to note that to eliminate uneven mass distribution during rotation, the fan blades need to undergo weight reduction and balancing, which involves removing a portion of the material to achieve dynamic balance and prevent vibrations, noise, component wear, and even safety hazards caused by imbalance. This process is crucial for ensuring the stable, efficient, and safe operation of the fan blades. Of course, besides weight reduction, adding weight-adding material to a specific location on the fan blade can also achieve dynamic balance. However, only certain types of fan blades, where the blade itself has a designated area to accommodate added material (such as cavities), can achieve dynamic balance by adding weight. But some special fan blades, due to their design and application principles, lack designated areas for weight addition; therefore, weight reduction is the only alternative. For aesthetic reasons, weight reduction is typically performed on the inner circumference and bottom surface of the fan blade.
[0028] Reference Figure 3As shown, the grooving mechanism 7 includes an adjusting frame 71, a rotating shaft 72, a grinding wheel 73, and a drive mechanism 75. The adjusting frame 71 is movably installed inside the transverse frame 6. The rotating shaft 72 is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 71. The grinding wheel 73 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 72. The drive mechanism 75 is set on the adjusting frame 71 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 72 to rotate. The drive mechanism 75 includes a drive shaft 751, a first sprocket 752, a second sprocket 753, a chain 754, and a first motor 755. The drive shaft 751 is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 71 and is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 72. The first motor 755 is mounted on the adjusting frame 71, and the output shaft of the first motor 755 is coaxially connected to one end of the drive shaft 751. The first sprocket 752 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 751, and the second sprocket 753 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 72. The first sprocket 752 and the second sprocket 753 are connected by the chain 754.
[0029] Specifically, motor 755 drives drive shaft 751 to rotate, which in turn drives sprocket 752 to rotate. Through chain 754, sprocket 753 and the connected rotating shaft 72 are rotated. The rotating grinding wheel 73 can grind and remove weight from the fan blades.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 72 has a tubular structure. An electric push rod 9 is mounted on the adjusting frame 71. A connecting plate 10 is mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 9. The connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected to a slotted shaft 11 whose other end extends into the rotating shaft 72. A cutting structure 12 is mounted on the end of the slotted shaft 11 away from the connecting plate 10. The cutting structure 12 is specifically a drill bit, milling cutter, etc. A limiting structure 13 is provided between the slotted shaft 11 and the rotating shaft 72. The limiting structure 13 is similar to the structure of a splined shaft or splined sleeve. Therefore, the limiting structure 13 can restrict the slotted shaft 11 from rotating about the axis relative to the rotating shaft 72, but does not restrict the slotted shaft 11 from rotating about the axis. 1. Slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 72; the limiting structure 13 includes a bushing portion 131, a slider 132, and a groove 133; the groove 133 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 72, that is, the groove 133 is a groove formed on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 72, and the groove 133 extends along the length direction of the rotating shaft 72; the bushing portion 131 is fixedly sleeved on the slotted shaft 11, and the slider 132 is provided on the bushing portion 131. For example, the slider 132 can be a rib integrally extended outward from the outer circumferential surface of the bushing portion 131, and the end of the slider 132 away from the bushing portion 131 is embedded in the groove 133.
[0031] Specifically, the rotating shaft 72, as a tubular structure, provides installation space for the internal slotted shaft 11. When the drive mechanism drives the rotating shaft 72 to rotate, the slotted shaft 11 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 72 through the spline-like limiting structure 13, where the slider 132 on the bushing 131 is embedded in the groove 133 on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 72. This drives the cutting structures 12 at the end, such as the drill bit and milling cutter, to rotate to achieve the cutting action. At the same time, the electric push rod 9 on the adjusting frame 71 can push the slotted shaft 11 to slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 72 through the connecting plate 10, thereby realizing the feed or retraction of the cutting structure 12. This design not only ensures that the cutting structure 12 can rotate stably with the rotating shaft 72 to perform cutting, but also allows for flexible adjustment of the cutting depth through the electric push rod 9 to adapt to the weight removal requirements of different positions of the fan blade. Furthermore, the cooperation between the slider 132 and the groove 133 ensures smooth sliding, guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the cutting process.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal module 41, a vertical module 42, and a lifting part 5. The horizontal module 41 is disposed on the frame 3, the vertical module 42 is disposed on the horizontal module 41, the moving direction of the horizontal module 41 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the vertical module 42, the lifting part 5 is disposed on the vertical module 42, and the end of the lifting part 5 away from the vertical module 42 is connected to the horizontal moving frame 6.
[0033] Specifically, the horizontal module 41 is fixed to the frame 3 as a basic moving unit, which can drive the vertical module 42 along the horizontal direction. Figure 1 The horizontal module 41 moves linearly along the x-axis, providing lateral position adjustment for the horizontal moving frame 6. The vertical module 42 remains perpendicular to the horizontal module 41 and can move independently in the vertical direction, thereby driving the lifting unit 5, the horizontal moving frame 6, and the slotting mechanism 7 to achieve vertical position adjustment. The horizontal module 41 and the vertical module 42 form a combination of horizontal and vertical vertical movements (based on...). Figure 1 The x-axis and z-axis directions enable the grooving mechanism 7 to accurately reach the designated working position according to the processing requirements of the fan blade, so as to control the depth and length of the grooving mechanism 7 on the fan blade.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 8 includes a rotating shaft 81, a worm gear 82, a worm 83, a connecting seat 84, and a second motor 85. The rotating shaft 81 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the transverse frame 6. The upper end of the adjustment frame 71 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 81. Both ends of the worm 83 are mounted on the transverse frame 6 through the connecting seat 84. The second motor 85 is provided on the connecting seat 84. The output shaft of the second motor 85 is coaxially connected to the worm 83. The worm gear 82 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 81 and meshes with the worm 83.
[0035] Specifically, motor 85 drives worm 83 to rotate, and worm wheel 82 meshing with worm 83 drives it to rotate around shaft 81, thereby causing the adjusting frame 71, grinding wheel 73 and cutting structure 12 connected to shaft 81 to deflect at an angle, thus completing arbitrary angle adjustment between vertical and inclined states. Figure 1 (In a vertical position), and with the adjustment mechanism, the grinding wheel 73 can slot the fan blades at different angles to achieve different widths of weight removal. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle, the grinding wheel 73 or the cutting structure 12 can be switched to remove weight from the fan blades. The grinding wheel 73 has wide, rectangular slots, while the cutting structure 12 has slots that are either hole-like or nearly hole-like. Either can be selected as needed, offering greater practicality. For heavy weight removal, the grinding wheel 73 is used directly, and since its axis is parallel to the fan blades, the contact area is maximized, resulting in higher efficiency. For moderate weight removal, the grinding wheel 73 needs to be tilted to reduce the contact area, reducing the weight removed compared to the parallel position. For light weight removal, the cutting structure 12 can be used to create slots, minimizing the contact area between the cutting structure 12 and the fan blades for precise weight removal. Moreover, the shape of the slots created by the grinding wheel 73 or the cutting structure 12 varies depending on the angle. When encountering special inclined surfaces, the tilt can be adjusted to accommodate the specific grooving requirements.
[0036] Therefore, when the angle of the grinding wheel 73 on the grooving mechanism 7 changes, the width of the groove also changes. That is, the width of the groove is greatest when the grinding wheel 73 is parallel to the surface of the fan blade that needs to be grooved; when the grinding wheel 73 is inclined to the surface of the fan blade that needs to be grooved, the width of the groove is smaller than that in the parallel state. It should be noted that the angle between the grinding wheel 73 and the surface of the fan blade that needs to be grooved is less than or equal to 90°. The larger the angle, the smaller the width of the groove, and vice versa. In addition, the shape of the groove cut by the grinding wheel 73 at each angle state (which is different from the angle between the grinding wheel 73 and the surface of the fan blade that needs to be grooved) is also different.
[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In summary, by fixing the fan blades with the clamping component 2 on the base 1, the adjustment mechanism on the frame 3, through the coordinated movement of the horizontal module 41, the vertical module 42, and the lifting part 5, drives the horizontal moving frame 6 and the slotting mechanism 7 to achieve precise two-dimensional position adjustment. Figure 1The x-axis and z-axis directions ensure that the processing position fits the weight removal requirements of the fan blades; the angle adjustment mechanism 8 uses motor 2 85 to drive worm gear 83 and worm wheel 82, so that the adjustment frame 71 and grooving mechanism 7 can flexibly switch the angle between vertical and inclined states, so as to achieve precise control of the grooving width from the maximum to gradually decrease, to meet different weight removal requirements; in the grooving mechanism 7, the drive mechanism 1 75 drives the rotating shaft 72 and grinding wheel 73 to rotate through sprocket and chain 754 for grinding and weight removal, while the grooving shaft 11 in the tubular rotating shaft 72 is synchronized with the rotating shaft 72 under the action of the spline-like limiting structure 13. The rotation, combined with the electric push rod 9, enables the cutting structure 12 to rotate and adjust its feed. It can achieve large-scale weight removal by using the wide groove of the grinding wheel 73, or small-scale precise weight removal by using the small-hole groove of the cutting structure 12. The cooperation between the slider 132 and the groove 133 ensures the stability and smoothness of the cutting process. Ultimately, it effectively eliminates the uneven mass distribution during the rotation of the fan blade, achieves dynamic balance, avoids vibration, noise, component wear and safety hazards, and ensures the stable, efficient and safe operation of the fan blade. At the same time, it is suitable for special fan blades with no space for weight increase, and completes beautiful and precise weight removal operations on the inner circumference and inner bottom surface of the fan blade, which is extremely practical.
[0038] A drill chuck 30 is provided at the end of the slotted shaft 11 away from the connecting plate 10. The drill chuck 30 is used to hold the cutting structure 12. Based on the above, the cutting structure 12 is a drill bit, end mill, etc. The drill chuck 30 allows for convenient installation and replacement of different types and specifications of cutting structures 12. When it is necessary to replace the cutting structure 12 according to the requirements of the shape and depth of the fan blade slot, as well as the damage condition, the replacement of the cutting structure 12 can be quickly completed by simply operating the drill chuck 30 to loosen or tighten it.
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, in the actual operation of fan blade weight reduction and balancing, facing fan blades of different specifications, materials, and weight reduction requirements, the aforementioned structure can only reduce weight at the same position of the fan blade. Furthermore, a single processing method and structure is difficult to meet special weight reduction requirements. For example, when the fan blade has an even imbalance (even imbalance is the existence of unbalanced masses of equal size and opposite direction within a symmetrical plane), it is necessary to offset this imbalance by reducing weight at symmetrical positions. Based on this, in this embodiment, the horizontal module 41 is a dual-station electric slide. One moving station of the dual-station electric slide is connected to the vertical module 1 42, and the other moving station is equipped with the vertical module 2 15. The length of the vertical module 1 42 is parallel to the length direction of the vertical module 2 15. The moving end of the vertical module 2 15 is equipped with a lifting part 2 16. The end of the lifting part 2 16 away from the vertical module 2 15 is equipped with a transverse frame 2 17. The transverse frame 2 17 has a hollow component 18 inside. The hollow component 18 is hollow inside. The structure includes a notch 19 on the circumferential side of the cavity component 18. A short bushing 201 and a long bushing 202 are rotatably connected to both ends of the transverse frame 17. The opposite ends of the short bushing 201 and the long bushing 202 are fixedly connected to and communicate with the center of the cavity component 18. That is, the opposite ends of the short bushing 201 and the long bushing 202 only communicate with the cavity component 18 and do not penetrate or extend into it. Furthermore, the internal diameter of the cavity component 18 is much larger than the internal diameter of the long bushing 202. A drive shaft 21, passing through the center of the cavity component 18, is rotatably connected between the short bushing 201 and the long bushing 202. Therefore, the middle part of the drive shaft 21 is suspended inside the cavity component 18 and is not enclosed by the short bushing 201 and the long bushing 202. Additionally, one end of the drive shaft 21 extends out of the short bushing 201. The cavity 18 is rotatably connected to a cutter shaft 22, which is parallel to the drive shaft 21. The cutter shaft 22 is provided with a driven gear 23. The drive shaft 21 is fixedly fitted with a driving gear 24 located inside the cavity 18 and meshing with the driven gear 23. That is, the driving gear 24 is fixedly fitted in the middle part of the drive shaft 21. The transverse frame 17 is provided with a drive mechanism 25 for driving the drive shaft 21 to rotate. The cutter shaft 22 is equipped with a grooving cutter 26. One end of the grooving cutter 26 corresponds to the cutting edge 19 and extends out of the outside of the cutting edge 19.
[0040] The drive mechanism 25 includes a drive motor 251, a transmission wheel 252, and an annular flexible transmission component 253. The drive motor 251 is mounted on the transverse frame 17. Both the output shaft of the drive motor 251 and the end of the transmission shaft 21 extending out of the short bushing 201 are equipped with transmission wheels 252. The two transmission wheels 252 are connected by the annular flexible transmission component 253. When the drive motor 251 operates, its output shaft drives the corresponding transmission wheel 252 to rotate. Through the transmission action of the annular flexible transmission component 253, the transmission wheel 252 extending out of the short bushing 201 of the transmission shaft 21 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the transmission shaft 21 to rotate and providing power for the operation of the subsequent drive gear 24, driven gear 23, and grooving cutter 26.
[0041] More specifically, to address special weight-reduction requirements such as fan blade imbalance, the two moving stations of the dual-station electric slide table independently drive vertical module one 42 and vertical module two 15. Vertical module one 42 and vertical module two 15 are arranged parallel to each other, and can achieve precise alignment by driving horizontal frame one 6 and horizontal frame two 17 through their respective lifting parts one 5 and two 16. When it is necessary to reduce weight at symmetrical positions of the fan blades, the two stations can move to the symmetrical positions synchronously or stepwise. Drive mechanism two 25 drives the transmission shaft 21 to rotate, so that the driving gear 24 meshes with the driven gear 23 to drive the cutter shaft 22 to rotate. The grooving cutter 26 then cuts the fan blades with the cutting edge 19. The short bushing 201 and the long bushing 202 ensure stable transmission of the drive shaft 21. The cavity 18 provides protection and support for the internal gears and the cutter shaft 22. This structure retains the original processing function and can achieve symmetrical synchronous weight removal through dual-station collaboration, effectively offsetting the even imbalance. At the same time, the grooving cutter 26, together with the original grinding wheel 73 and the cutting structure 12, forms a variety of processing methods to meet the special weight removal requirements of fan blades of different specifications and materials, greatly improving the versatility and weight removal accuracy of the device, and ensuring better dynamic balance of the fan blades.
[0042] In addition, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the aforementioned embodiment, only one grooving cutter 26 is provided, corresponding to the cutting edge 19 and extending beyond the outside of the cutting edge 19. Moreover, the width of the grooving cutter 26 is fixed, making it impossible to change the cutter according to the different grooving widths required on the inner circumference of the fan blade. This makes it difficult to meet the diverse grooving requirements of the fan blade. To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the cavity component 18 is a disc-shaped hollow structure. The number of cutting edges 19 is multiple and they are distributed around the center of the cavity component 18 as an axis. The number of cutter shafts 22 is multiple, and the number of grooving cutters 26 is multiple and they are installed on the multiple cutter shafts 22. Furthermore, the multiple cutter shafts 22 are all around the drive shaft 21, and the multiple grooving cutters 26 correspond one-to-one with the multiple cutting edges 19. The width of the multiple grooving cutters 26 gradually increases. The transverse frame 217 is equipped with a tool changer motor 311. The output shaft of the tool changer motor 311 is parallel to the transmission shaft 21. The output shaft of the tool changer motor 311 and the long shaft sleeve 202 are both fixedly fitted with transmission wheels 212. The two transmission wheels 212 are connected by an annular flexible transmission component 213. Specifically, the cavity component 18 is designed as a disc-shaped hollow structure, with multiple cutting edges 19 distributed around its periphery, corresponding to multiple cutting shafts 22 and grooving cutters 26 with progressively increasing widths. That is, each grooving cutter 26 has a different width, resulting in different grooving widths for the fan blades. When a tool change is required based on the grooving width requirement of the inner circumference of the fan blade, the tool changer motor 311 operates. Its output shaft drives the long shaft sleeve 202 to rotate via the transmission wheel 312 and the annular flexible transmission component 313. This causes the cavity component 18 to rotate around the central axis, aligning the grooving tool 26 of the corresponding width with the processing position of the fan blade. At the same time, the drive mechanism 25 drives the transmission shaft 21 to rotate. Through the engagement of the drive gear 24 and the driven gear 23, the tool shaft 22 drives the grooving tool 26 to rotate and cut. This design, by using multiple grooving tools 26 of different widths to rotate and change tools, can meet the diverse grooving width requirements of the fan blade without stopping the machine for manual replacement. This not only improves the tool changing efficiency but also expands the adaptability of the device to different specifications of fan blades, ensuring that the grooving operation more accurately matches the fan blade weight reduction requirements, further enhancing the practicality and processing flexibility of the device.
[0043] Reference Figure 7As shown, considering that after the clamping component 2 fixes the fan blade in the aforementioned embodiment, it is difficult to drive the fan blade to rotate, when it is necessary to slot and reduce weight at different circumferential positions of the fan blade, it is necessary to adjust the position of the slotting mechanism 7 to adapt, which is cumbersome. Moreover, for some circumferentially distributed slotting positions, the adjustment accuracy is difficult to guarantee. In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment improves the clamping component 2 and related structures as follows: the base 1 is a cavity structure, the clamping component 2 is a pneumatic chuck, the pneumatic chuck has a fixing part, a rotating part and a clamping part, the fixing part is fixed on the base 1, and the fixing part is the non-rotating part of the pneumatic chuck. The rotating part rotatably extends into the interior of the base 1. The clamping part is located on the rotating part. The clamping part is the part that clamps the object. The rotating part is the part where the pneumatic chuck can drive the clamping part and the clamped object to rotate. A transmission wheel 271 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating part. Specifically, a transmission wheel 271 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the rotating part that extends into the interior of the base 1. An adjustment motor 273 is installed inside the base 1. A transmission wheel 272 is installed on the output shaft of the adjustment motor 273. A ring-shaped flexible transmission component 274 is connected between the transmission wheel 271 and the transmission wheel 272.
[0044] Specifically, the base 1, as a cavity structure, provides installation space for various components. The clamping component 2 adopts a pneumatic clamping plate, and its fixing part is fixed on the base 1 to ensure overall stability. The clamping part can firmly clamp the fan blade. When it is necessary to slot and de-weight the fan blade at different circumferential positions, the adjustment motor 273 inside the base 1 operates, and its output shaft drives the transmission wheel 272 to rotate. Through the annular flexible transmission component 274, the transmission wheel 271 on the rotating part rotates accordingly, thereby driving the rotating part and the clamped fan blade to rotate, realizing the adjustment of the circumferential position of the fan blade. There is no need to frequently adjust the position of the grooving mechanism 7. This design solves the problem that the original clamping component 2 is difficult to drive the fan blade to rotate, resulting in cumbersome operation. It makes the adjustment of the circumferentially distributed grooving position more convenient, and the motor drive can ensure the accuracy of the rotation angle, ensuring the accuracy of the grooving position, improving the efficiency and quality of the fan blade de-weighting operation, and enhancing the adaptability of the device to different circumferential grooving requirements.
[0045] In addition, an annular angle indicator 28 is provided at the end of the rotating part away from the transmission wheel 271. Multiple handles 29 are arranged around the outer circumference of the annular angle indicator 28. The function of the annular angle indicator 28 is to intuitively display the angle at which the rotating part drives the fan blade to rotate. The operator can clearly understand the current circumferential position of the fan blade by observing the angle scale on the indicator, which makes it easy to accurately control the rotation angle when the adjustment motor 273 drives the rotation or when manually adjusting, so as to ensure that the slotted position of the fan blade meets the requirements. Multiple handles 29 are arranged around the outer circumference of the annular angle indicator disk 28. The handles 29 facilitate manual adjustment of the rotating part. When manual fine-tuning is required or in special circumstances such as failure of the adjustment motor 273, the operator can hold the handles 29 and rotate the annular angle indicator disk 28, thereby driving the rotating part, clamping part and fan blade to rotate, thereby adjusting the circumferential position of the fan blade, improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the device in different working scenarios.
[0046] In addition, a cabinet is installed at the bottom of the base 1 to house electronic components and circuits.
