Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine blade processing technology, and in particular to a transfer device for gas turbine blade processing. Background Technology
[0002] A gas turbine is a heat engine that uses gas as the working fluid to convert the internal energy of the gas into mechanical energy. A gas turbine typically consists of a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine. The compressed air enters the combustion chamber and mixes with the fuel. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas after combustion impacts the turbine blades to drive the rotation of the shaft. The turbine blades need to work in harsh environments of high temperature, high pressure, and high speed for a long time. In order to ensure that the turbine blades can withstand the huge stresses caused by high temperature and high speed operation, the following measures are taken.
[0003] Currently, heat treatment improves the hardness and wear resistance of gas turbine blades and ensures that the blades maintain shape and size stability during use, thereby improving the operating efficiency of gas turbines. However, there are still some shortcomings. During heat treatment, gas turbine blades are processed in batches, and individual blade clamping is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After heat treatment, workers need to remove the gas turbine blades, which is inefficient and limits the throughput of production. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings mentioned above by providing a transfer device for gas turbine blade processing, which improves the efficiency of batch loading of gas turbine blades, avoids direct clamping, and facilitates automatic removal of gas turbine blades.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transfer device for processing gas turbine blades, comprising a processing component for processing gas turbine blades, including: The conveying unit is used to transport gas turbine blades to the processing component for batch processing. It includes a conveying frame symmetrically arranged inside the processing component and surrounding the bottom outer side of the processing component, a drive unit arranged on a conveying frame, and multiple movable rods arranged on the drive unit, with two movable rods used to support and transport the blades. The conveying unit also includes a power supplement unit located at the feed inlet of the conveying frame, a guide rail located on another conveying frame to support the movable rod, and a movable component located at the discharge end on another conveying frame, with a notch provided on the conveying frame directly opposite the movable component. The unloading component, used to automatically discharge gas turbine blades from the conveyor section, includes: The transmission unit is set on the conveyor frame, the guide members are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the transmission unit, and the multiple clamping members are set on the transmission unit for automatic clamping and unloading. The storage box is located below the feeding component, and the blades are used to slide into the storage box and collect the blades.
[0006] Furthermore, the drive unit includes drive wheels that are evenly distributed on a conveyor frame and a drive chain that is disposed on the drive wheels; It also includes a drive unit mounted on a conveyor frame to drive the transmission wheel to rotate.
[0007] Furthermore, the power supplement includes a support frame disposed on another conveyor frame and a drive component disposed on the support frame; It also includes multiple evenly distributed rotating rods mounted on the output shaft of the drive unit, and the rotating rods are used to supplement the power of the moving rod as it rises through the conveyor frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the guide rail includes a first slide rail disposed on the conveyor frame to support the movable rod located on its upper side and a second slide rail disposed on the conveyor frame to support the movable rod located on its lower side, wherein the first slide rail has a groove facing the movable part.
[0009] Furthermore, the movable component includes a movable slide rail disposed on the first slide rail and a connecting rod disposed between the first slide rail and the movable slide rail, wherein the connecting rod is provided with a torsion spring; It also includes a fixing plate at the bottom of the first slide rail and a baffle on the first slide rail.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission unit includes a transmission frame disposed at the top of the conveying unit and a support column disposed at the bottom of the transmission frame, and a cavity is provided inside the transmission frame. It also includes a transmission belt located inside the transmission frame and a rack located on the transmission belt; It also includes a drive source mounted on the support column to drive the rack.
[0011] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the transmission belt is T-shaped, and the cross-section of the transmission belt is elliptical.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive source includes a motor mounted on the support column and a rotating shaft mounted on the output shaft of the motor, the rotating shaft being provided with a gear for driving the rack to rotate.
[0013] Furthermore, there are two guide members, and both ends of the guide members are tapered to control the opening and closing of the clamping member.
[0014] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a movable frame symmetrically arranged on the transmission belt and clamping plates respectively arranged at the bottom of the movable frame; It also includes a spring placed between the two movable frames to pull the two clamping plates together.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: This invention involves placing a gas turbine blade between two movable rods. A drive unit propels the blade into a processing component for machining. A power supplement unit provides additional power to the movable rods at the loading end of the conveyor section. A guide rail supports the movable rods below, ensuring smooth entry into the processing component. A drive source on the unloading component rotates a gear, which meshes with a rack, causing the rack and transmission belt to rotate within a transmission frame. The bottom of the transmission belt drives a clamping component to rotate around the transmission frame. When the clamping component reaches the blade, it opens under the guidance of a guide component. As the clamping component approaches the blade... When the force of the guide disappears, the clamping plate on the clamping component clamps the blade under the action of the spring. The blade rotates on the transmission frame with the clamping plate, and the blade applies force to the movable slide rail. The movable slide rail rotates on the first guide rail and the connecting rod, and the blade disengages from the conveying component. Under the action of the connecting rod and the torsion spring, the movable slide rail resets on the first slide rail, the baffle, and the fixed plate. When the blade rotates with the transmission belt to the top of the collection box, the clamping component is acted upon by another guide, and the clamping plate on the clamping component opens, allowing the blade to slide into the collection box. This achieves efficient batch feeding of gas turbine blades, avoids direct clamping, and facilitates automatic removal of gas turbine blades. Attached Figure Description
