Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind turbine gear shaft diameter measurement technology, specifically a diameter measurement device for wind turbine gear shaft machining. Background Technology

[0002] As the core transmission component of a wind turbine generator set, the gear shaft in the wind turbine gearbox plays a crucial role in connecting the low-speed shaft and the high-speed shaft. Its function is to efficiently convert the energy captured by the wind turbine into mechanical energy by transmitting torque and regulating the speed. To ensure the long-term stable operation of this core component under complex loads, after its machining, key geometric parameters such as journal diameter, roundness, and gear tooth profile must be precisely measured according to the design drawings. This ensures strict control of manufacturing precision and guarantees the transmission performance and service life of the entire unit.

[0003] In existing technologies, when measuring the geometric parameters of a pre-formed wind turbine gear shaft, it is usually necessary to use specialized equipment such as a runout tester to evaluate the shape tolerances of the bearing journal, such as roundness and cylindricity. A diameter measuring device is also used to accurately collect the actual diameter of the journal. At the same time, the gear shaft needs to be mounted on a gear measuring center, and a high-precision probe is used to scan and analyze key meshing parameters such as tooth profile, tooth pitch, and helix, so as to systematically verify whether its machining quality meets the design specifications.

[0004] However, traditional methods for measuring the dimensional parameters of machined wind turbine gear shafts have the following problems: 1. In existing technologies, because the measuring probe needs to contact the tooth surface and journal surface point by point, the data acquisition process is time-consuming and cannot cover the overall contour, resulting in discrete data. This makes it difficult to construct a complete and continuous product geometric model, which not only fails to achieve a comprehensive assessment of the gear shaft quality but also easily misses local minor dents or protrusions due to measurement blind spots, limiting the representativeness and reliability of the test results; 2. In existing technologies, when using a runout meter to measure the roundness of the gear shaft, its measurement accuracy highly depends on the precise coincidence of the line connecting the two centers with the gear shaft axis. Since the diameter of the supporting journal varies for different specifications of gear shafts, each replacement... When inspecting workpieces, the alignment structure of the runout gauge needs to be repeatedly adjusted, which not only makes the operation process cumbersome and time-consuming, but also may introduce measurement errors due to human operation deviations or alignment structure adjustment deviations, thus directly affecting the accuracy and consistency of the roundness and cylindricity evaluation results; 3. In the existing technology, due to the single function of various testing equipment, it is necessary to use independent equipment such as runout gauges, diameter measuring devices and gear measuring centers to measure different parameters of gear shafts separately. This not only causes the workpiece to be repeatedly disassembled and positioned between different devices, significantly reducing the testing efficiency, but also introduces cumulative errors due to multiple clamping and conversion, making it difficult to unify the accuracy evaluation benchmark between journal form and position tolerances and gear meshing parameters, thus affecting the collaborative judgment of the overall quality of the workpiece.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 A diameter measuring device for processing wind turbine gear shafts includes a measuring platform 1, a docking mechanism 2 is provided on the upper side of the measuring platform 1, an adjusting mechanism 3 is provided on the docking mechanism 2, and a measuring mechanism 4 is provided on the adjusting mechanism 3.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 The docking mechanism 2 includes guide rails 21 that are symmetrically fixed on the upper side of the measuring table 1. The two guide rails 21 are provided with a movable docking part 22 that can be moved back and forth for adjustment. The movable docking part 22 is provided with a locking drive part 23 for locking the gear shaft and driving it to rotate in an orientation. The locking drive part 23 is provided with a positioning docking part 24 for precisely assisting in aligning the gear shaft axis.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The movable docking part 22 includes an electric slider 221 that is symmetrically slidably disposed on the guide rail 21 and moves back and forth. A reinforcing platform 222 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the electric slider 221, and a moving platform 223 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the left and right symmetrical reinforcing platforms 222.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The locking drive unit 23 includes a drive assembly 231 fixedly mounted on the upper side of the moving platform 223. Each of the two drive assemblies 231 is equipped with an adjustment column 232 that can extend and retract and rotate in a directional manner on one side of the opposite side. A tip 233 is fixedly mounted on the side of the adjustment column 232 away from the corresponding drive assembly 231. The end of the tip 233 away from the corresponding adjustment column 232 is a conical surface.

[0034] The electric slider 221 can drive the corresponding reinforcement platform 222 and the moving platform 223 to move back and forth along the guide rail 21. The moving platform 223 then drives the corresponding drive assembly 231 to move and adjust synchronously. It should be noted that the drive assembly 231 is composed of an existing rotary motor and telescopic cylinder. The drive assembly 231 can drive the corresponding adjusting column 232 and the top point 233 to extend and retract and rotate in a directional manner.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning docking part 24 includes a fixed seat 241 symmetrically fixed on the drive assembly 231. A support sleeve 242 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed seat 241 near the adjusting column 232. An electric push rod 243 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed seat 241 away from the adjusting column 232. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 243 is slidably connected to the support sleeve 242 and a docking rod 244 that moves back and forth is fixedly installed. The end of the docking rod 244 away from the corresponding electric push rod 243 is a conical surface. The axis of the symmetrical docking rod 244 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the corresponding tip 233.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a movable adjustment part 31 that is mounted on the guide rail 21 and can move back and forth. The movable adjustment part 31 is provided with a lifting limit part 32 that can move up and down and supports the limit gear shaft.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The movable adjustment unit 31 includes an electric slider 311 that is symmetrically slidably disposed on the guide rail 21 and moves back and forth. The electric slider 311 is located between two corresponding electric sliders 221. A movable frame 312 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the symmetrical electric sliders 311. A hydraulic cylinder 313 is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the movable frame 312.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting and limiting part 32 includes a U-shaped platform 321 fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 313 and moving up and down. Guide rods that are slidably connected to the corresponding moving frame 312 are symmetrically fixed on the lower side of the U-shaped platform 321. A V-shaped limiting platform 322 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the U-shaped platform 321. Multiple balls are evenly rolled on the upper side of the V-shaped limiting platform 322. Guide rails 323 are symmetrically fixed on both the V-shaped limiting platform 322 and the U-shaped platform 321.

[0039] The electric slider 311 can drive the corresponding moving frame 312 and hydraulic cylinder 313 to move back and forth along the guide rail 21 for adjustment. The moving frame 312 then drives the corresponding U-shaped platform 321 and V-shaped limit platform 322 to move and adjust synchronously. The hydraulic cylinder 313 can drive the U-shaped platform 321 and V-shaped limit platform 322 to move up and down for adjustment.

[0040] When the gear shaft needs to be aligned and clamped, the gear shaft journal is first placed on the corresponding V-shaped limiting stage 322 by the external feeding equipment. Then, the V-shaped limiting stage 322 and the gear shaft are moved up and down by the hydraulic cylinder 313. At the same time, the positioning docking part 24 cooperates with the measuring mechanism 4 to guide and align the gear shaft that is being adjusted up and down, so that the axis of the gear shaft is quickly and stably aligned with the line connecting the two centers 233. Then, the electric slider 221 drives the drive assembly 231 to move towards the gear shaft, and the drive assembly 231 drives the adjusting column 232 and the center 233 to move towards the corresponding end of the gear shaft until the two centers 233 stably clamp and lock the gear shaft. Thus, the drive assembly 231 can drive the center 233 and the gear shaft to rotate synchronously and stably.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The measuring mechanism 4 includes a fitting adjustment part 41 disposed on the lifting limit part 32 and used for vertical movement adjustment; a roundness measuring part 42 disposed on the fitting adjustment part 41 for measuring the roundness of the gear shaft journal; a deflection adjustment part 43 disposed on the lifting limit part 32 for rotation adjustment; and a precision measuring part 44 disposed on the deflection adjustment part 43 for measuring the diameter of the gear shaft journal and the gear precision and for precise alignment with the positioning docking part 24.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7The fitting adjustment part 41 includes a limiting groove 411 that is formed on the V-shaped limiting platform 322 and extends vertically. A rotating shaft 412 is rotatably arranged on the V-shaped limiting platform 322 and located on the opposite side of the two limiting grooves 411. A threaded rod 413 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the rotating shaft 412, and a knob 414 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the threaded rod 413.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7 The roundness measuring part 42 includes an adjusting slide 421 that is slidably disposed in the limiting slide groove 411 and moves up and down. A roundness probe 422 is installed on the upper side of the adjusting slide 421. A lever micrometer 423 for reading the measurement value of the roundness probe 422 is installed on the lower end of the adjusting slide 421 away from the corresponding rotating shaft 412. A threaded seat 424 that is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 413 is fixedly disposed on the side of the adjusting slide 421 close to the corresponding rotating shaft 412.

[0044] When the gear shaft is stably aligned and clamped, the threaded rod 413 and the rotating shaft 412 are rotated by rotating the knob 414. The threaded rod 413 then drives the threaded seat 424 and the adjusting slide 421 to move up and down along the limiting slide groove 411 through the screw drive. The adjusting slide 421 then drives the roundness probe 422 to move synchronously and adjust until the roundness probe 422 is stably in contact with the journal surface of the clamped gear shaft and can detect the roundness parameter of the gear shaft journal. The detected roundness parameter can be read by the lever dial indicator 423.

[0045] When measuring the roundness of the clamped gear shaft journal, the drive assembly 231 first drives the center 233 and the gear shaft to rotate in an oriented manner. The roundness probe 422 then simultaneously measures the roundness parameters at the corresponding contact positions of the gear shaft journal. Next, the electric slider 311 drives the V-shaped limit stage 322 and the roundness probe 422 to move gradually from one end of the corresponding journal to the other end and pause briefly. This allows the roundness probe 422 to continuously contact various positions on the surface of the corresponding gear shaft journal along the gear shaft axis, thereby achieving continuous measurement of the roundness parameters of the gear shaft journal. If the roundness parameter error values ​​at various positions of the gear shaft journal are all within the range of 0.005mm to 0.025mm as required by the drawing, then the roundness of the gear shaft journal meets the usage requirements; otherwise, it does not. The ball bearings can greatly reduce the frictional resistance experienced by the gear shaft during rotation and movement of the V-shaped limit stage 322 along the guide rail 21.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8The deflection adjustment unit 43 includes an electric slider 431 that is slidably mounted on the guide rail 323 and moves up and down. A return frame 432 is fixedly mounted on the left and right symmetrical electric sliders 431. A rotary cylinder 433 is fixedly mounted on the return frame 432. A deflection plate 434 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the rotary cylinder 433.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The precision measurement unit 44 includes two L-shaped fixing frames 441 fixedly installed on opposite sides of the upper ends of two deflection plates 434. A docking seat 442 and an electric push rod 443 located on the upper side of the docking seat 442 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the vertical sections of the two L-shaped fixing frames 441. A circular docking slot is provided on the docking seat 442, which is through-hole and slidably inserted into the corresponding docking rod 244. A distance sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 443. A mounting plate 444 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 443. A precision probe 445, which cooperates with an external gear measuring center (not shown in the figure) to read the gear shaft precision measurement value, and a diameter measuring rod 446, which cooperates with the distance sensor to read the gear shaft journal diameter measurement value, are installed on opposite sides of the two mounting plates 444. Two ball bearings are rolled on opposite sides of the two diameter measuring rods 446, and the line connecting the centers of the two corresponding docking slots coincides with the axis of the corresponding diameter measuring rod 446.

[0048] Before clamping the gear shaft placed on the V-shaped limiting stage 322, the electric push rod 443 drives the corresponding two mounting plates 444 and the measuring rod 446 to move synchronously relative to each other. With the help of the distance sensor, the distance between the two balls at the ends of the measuring rods 446 is made to match the diameter of the gear shaft journal as required by the drawing. Then, the electric slider 431 drives the return frame 432 to move up and down along the guide rail 323 for adjustment. The return frame 432 then drives the rotary cylinder 433 and the deflection plate 434 to move synchronously for adjustment. The deflection plate 434 then drives the electric push rod 443 and the measuring rod 446 on the mounting plate 444 to move synchronously for adjustment through the L-shaped fixing frame 441 until the balls contact the surface of the gear shaft journal. This makes the center of the cross-section at the corresponding position of the gear shaft located on the extension line of the axis of the two measuring rods 446, that is, the measuring rods 446 can stably measure the diameter of the gear shaft journal.

[0049] When the measuring rod 446 can stably measure the diameter of the gear shaft journal, the hydraulic cylinder 313 drives the gear shaft on the V-shaped limit stage 322 and the mating seat 442 on the L-shaped fixing frame 441 to move up and down synchronously until the mating slot on the mating seat 442 is aligned with the corresponding mating rod 244. Then, the electric slider 221 drives the mating rod 244 to move and insert it into the corresponding mating slot. The electric push rod 243 drives the symmetrically positioned mating rods 244 to move continuously relative to each other until the mating seat 442 can always be aligned with the mating rod 244 during the back-and-forth movement of the electric slider 311 along the gear shaft axis. 44 Sliding connection: Since the axis of the left and right symmetrical docking rods 244 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the corresponding tip 233, and the line connecting the centers of the two corresponding docking slots coincides with the axis of the corresponding measuring rod 446, the line connecting the two tips 233 is stably coincident with the axis of the gear shaft. With the cooperation of the docking rod 244 and the corresponding docking seat 442, it can be ensured that the two are always stably coincident during the measurement process. Thus, the tip 233 can be driven by the drive assembly 231 to stably clamp the gear shaft. The support sleeve 242 can provide a certain degree of support and reinforcement for the telescopic end of the electric push rod 243 and the docking rod 244.

[0050] When measuring the roundness of the gear shaft journal, the measuring rod 446 can move synchronously with the roundness probe 422 and continuously contact various positions on the corresponding gear shaft journal surface along the gear shaft axis extension direction, thereby realizing continuous measurement of the diameter parameter of the gear shaft journal. If the diameter parameter error value at each position of the gear shaft journal is within the range of 0.005mm~0.025mm as required by the drawing, then the diameter of the gear shaft journal meets the usage requirements; otherwise, it does not. The ball bearings can greatly reduce the frictional resistance between the measuring rod 446 and the gear shaft.

[0051] The above-described operation method enables simultaneous precise alignment of the center 233 while measuring the journal diameter, ensuring that the gear shaft axis and the line connecting the center 233 quickly and stably overlap and remain aligned. This not only meets the basic requirements for measuring the gear shaft journal diameter but also ensures high-precision positioning of the workpiece on the measurement datum, fundamentally eliminating roundness and cylindricity measurement errors caused by axis offset. This significantly improves the accuracy of the inspection data and operational efficiency, and also allows for rapid adjustment and adaptation of gear shafts of different specifications and sizes.

[0052] When measuring gear precision, the electric actuator 243 first drives the corresponding mating rod 244 to slide out of the corresponding mating seat 442. Then, the rotary cylinder 433 drives the upper end of the deflection plate 434 and the L-shaped fixing bracket 441 to deflect towards the corresponding gear on the gear shaft. The precision probe 445 on the upper end of the mounting plate 444 deflects synchronously. Then, in conjunction with the movement and adjustment of the L-shaped fixing bracket 441 and the precision probe 445 along the guide rail 323 with the electric slider 331, and the left and right movement and adjustment of the precision probe 445 by the electric actuator 243, the precision probe 445 can be stably attached to the corresponding position on the corresponding tooth surface of the gear. The L-shaped fixing frame 441 and the precision probe 445 are moved back and forth by the electric slider 211, so that the precision probe 445 can continuously measure various positions on the corresponding tooth surface. At the same time, the gear shaft is driven to rotate intermittently at a fixed angle by the center point 233, so that the precision probe 445 can comprehensively measure each tooth on the gear, thereby measuring multiple precision parameters such as the cumulative total deviation of tooth pitch, the single tooth pitch deviation, and the total deviation of tooth profile. If the precision level of multiple precision parameters such as the cumulative total deviation of tooth pitch, the single tooth pitch deviation, and the total deviation of tooth profile is less than or equal to level 5, then the gear precision meets the usage requirements; otherwise, it does not.

[0053] The above-described operation method enables synchronous and continuous contact measurement of the roundness and diameter of the gear shaft journal. Furthermore, through rapid structural adjustment and transformation, it also enables rapid and continuous measurement of the gear shaft's geometric accuracy. This not only obtains complete geometric parameters of the gear shaft, avoiding missed detection of local defects, but also allows for the measurement of journal roundness, diameter, and gear geometric accuracy using a single device. It achieves efficient evaluation of multiple accuracy indicators of the gear shaft without changing equipment, ensuring the uniformity of measurement standards and significantly improving inspection efficiency and data consistency.
