Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of water turbine processing, and in particular to a water turbine runner welding device. Background Technology

[0002] The turbine runner, as the heart of a hydroelectric generator, is a key component that converts the potential energy of water into kinetic energy. Typically, a hydroelectric turbine runner consists of a set of blades twisted into a specific shape and arranged in a certain pattern on the runner shaft. Water flows over the surface of the blades, impacting the runner and causing it to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of energy conversion.

[0003] Currently, when welding turbine runners, the runner body and runner blades are often welded on a fixture that holds the runner body and runner blades in place. This method has a low degree of automation and is complex to operate, which affects operational efficiency.

[0004] To improve the automation of rotary welding and reduce the complexity of operation, existing welding equipment needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

The transfer group is located below the gripping and positioning group. The transfer group is equipped with a rotatable conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is equipped with a number of positioning blocks for rotating the wheel blades.

[0007] The turbine runner consists of an annular runner body and blade-shaped runner blades. The lifting assembly in this welding device is equipped with external grippers that can grasp and lift the runner body. Opposite the lifting assembly is a rotating assembly with internal grippers that extend into the runner body. These internal grippers support the inner wall of the runner body, securing it in place. The rotation of these internal grippers allows for adjustment of the turbine runner's angle after each weld between the runner blades and the runner body, thus facilitating the subsequent welding of the runner blades. The gripping and positioning group in this welding device is positioned above the lifting and rotating groups. This group includes a gripping block for the rotor blade to be welded.
