Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology, and in particular relates to a rotary cylinder for machining the valve shaft and shaft hole of a water turbine ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] Ball valves are core components of hydroelectric turbine units, used to control the flow of water. The efficiency and quality of ball valve manufacturing directly affect the unit's commissioning time and operational safety. Currently, the machining of ball valve shafts and bores involves directly connecting a rotary drum to the machine tool spindle. This rotary drum is excessively heavy, and its weight and cutting forces are borne by the machine tool spindle. Consequently, the current machining process for valve shafts and bores suffers from problems such as shallow cutting depth, long machining cycles, low cutting speeds, poor machining quality, and significant wear and short lifespan of the machine tool spindle bearings. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotary cylinder for machining the valve shaft and shaft hole of a water turbine ball valve, thereby solving the problem of excessive weight in existing rotary cylinders used for machining water turbine ball valves. The technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0004] A rotary cylinder for machining the valve shaft and shaft hole of a water turbine ball valve is disclosed. The rotary cylinder is a cylindrical component with a sealed end wall at one end. A first concave stop is provided on the outer end face of the sealed end wall. A second through hole, two key-shaped holes, several first through holes, and several first threaded holes are opened on the sealed end wall. Several third through holes are opened on the peripheral wall of the rotary cylinder. Two trapezoidal notches are provided on the edge of the open end of the rotary cylinder. Two mounting parts are formed between the two trapezoidal notches in the circumferential direction. The end faces of the two mounting parts are defined as a first plane and a second plane, respectively. Two second threaded holes are provided on both the first plane and the second plane.
[0005] Furthermore, a plurality of first through holes are arranged circumferentially, a plurality of first threaded holes are arranged circumferentially, and the distribution axes of the plurality of first threaded holes, the distribution axes of the plurality of first through holes, the axis of the first recessed stop, and the axis of the second through hole are all collinear with the rotation axis of the rotary drum.
[0006] Furthermore, the rotary drum is an HT300 casting with a sealing end wall thickness of 60mm, a first recessed stop depth of 15mm, a first threaded hole of M24 thread, eight first threaded holes, a first through hole diameter of Φ100mm, eight first through holes, one end of a key-shaped hole connected to a second through hole, two key-shaped holes evenly distributed circumferentially, and a second through hole diameter of Φ120mm.
[0007] Furthermore, the two trapezoidal notches are evenly distributed around the circumference, the two mounting parts are evenly distributed around the circumference, the first plane and the second plane are fan-shaped annular planes with consistent contours, and the second threaded hole is an M12 threaded blind hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the peripheral wall is 40 mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the third through hole is Φ90mm, and the number of the third through holes is thirty-four. Thirty-two of the third through holes are divided into four groups and arranged axially along the peripheral wall. Each group has eight third through holes evenly distributed circumferentially along the peripheral wall, and the other two third through holes are correspondingly opened on the two mounting parts.
[0010] Furthermore, the length of the base of the trapezoidal notch is 350mm, and the depth of the trapezoidal notch is 290mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the length-to-diameter ratio of the rotary drum is 1.2 to 1.5.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0013] The trapezoidal notch, the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole can reduce the weight of the rotary drum, thereby reducing the load on the boring machine. At the same time, the trapezoidal notch and several third through holes can ensure the smooth removal of iron chips generated during machining. The trapezoidal notch is an isosceles trapezoidal notch. Two evenly distributed trapezoidal notches can achieve equal rigidity design from the bottom edge to the first plane and the second plane area, ensuring the stability of the rotary drum structure and the machining process. The rotary drum is a casting of HT300 with a peripheral wall thickness of 40mm, which has strong vibration absorption capacity and low cost. The rotary drum is mounted on the ram of the boring machine through the first concave stop and the first double-ended stud. It is connected to the spindle through a flat key, so that the rotary drum can rotate around the spindle for centering. Attached Figure Description
