[0027] Example 1 This invention provides an adjustable blasting cage for turbine blasting, such as... Figure 1-2 It includes: two clamping discs 1, four disassembly rods 2, three adjusting rods 3, several nuts 4, and two sets of locking structures 5. The four disassembly rods 2 are connected between the two clamping discs 1 by nuts 4, and the three adjusting rods 3 are connected between the two clamping discs 1 by nuts 4. The disassembly rods 2 and the adjusting rods 3 are parallel to each other and arranged along the circumference of the clamping discs 1 to form an openable cage structure.

[0028] Combination Figure 2 The upper half of the clamping plate 1 is an opening adjustment part. Four opening slots 11 are opened in the upper half of the clamping plate 1. The opening slots 11 are open on the circumferential surface of the clamping plate 1. The two ends of the disassembly rod 2 can be detachably installed in the opening slots 11 of the clamping plate 1. The lower half of the clamping plate 1 is an adjustment part. Three radial through holes 12 are opened in the lower half of the clamping plate 1. The two ends of the adjustment rod 3 can be adjusted and installed in the radial through holes 12.

[0029] like Figure 2-3 The locking structure 5 includes a retaining spring 51 and a retaining block 52. The retaining block 52 is V-shaped. Two adjacent slots 11 on the clamping disc 1 intersect at their openings, forming a V-shape. The V-shaped retaining block 52 is engaged in the two slots 11, restricting the disassembly rod 2 within the slots 11. A pair of retaining slots 13 are formed on the circumferential surface of the clamping disc 1. The two pairs of retaining slots 13 are located on either side of the two adjacent slots 11, symmetrically arranged, and L-shaped. Figure 5 Both ends of the retaining ring 51 are bent to the same side, and both ends of the retaining ring 51 are provided with locking ends 511. The locking ends 511 are L-shaped, and the locking ends 511 at both ends of the retaining ring 51 are engaged in paired locking slots 13, such as... Figure 2 The retaining ring 51 is located outside the retaining block 52, and the retaining ring 51 limits the retaining block 52 in two adjacent opening slots 11.

[0030] like Figure 2-4The main body of the retaining spring 51 is C-shaped and matches the circumferential arc surface of the clamping disk 1. A first limiting groove 14 is formed on the circumferential surface of the clamping disk 1 along the circumferential direction. A second limiting groove 521 is formed on the outer wall of the retaining block 52. The first limiting groove 14 and the second limiting groove 521 are arc-shaped grooves with the same radius. The retaining spring 51 is set in the first limiting groove 14 and the second limiting groove 521, and the retaining spring 51 is limited and positioned in the first limiting groove 14 and the second limiting groove 521 to prevent the retaining spring 51 from falling out. Figure 4 The retaining ring 51 also limits the retaining block 52 on the clamping plate 1, and at the same time prevents the retaining block 52 from falling out of the opening slot 11.

[0031] Four opening slots 11 are set, forming two groups, and the two groups are set symmetrically.

[0032] The lower half of the clamping disk 1 has three radial through holes 12 evenly distributed. The radial through holes 12 are elongated and arranged radially along the radial direction of the clamping disk 1. With the center of the clamping disk 1 as the center, the included angle between two adjacent radial through holes 12 is 70°. The adjusting rod 3 can be moved to adjust the position along the shape of the radial through holes 12.

[0033] The ends of the disassembly rod 2 and the adjustment rod 3 are threaded and fitted with two nuts 4. The two nuts 4 are located on both sides of the clamping plate 1 and clamp the clamping plate 1 to fix it.

[0034] like Figure 1-6 A rotating shaft 6, shaped like a frustum, is mounted at the center of the outer end face of each of the two clamping discs 1. The upper bottom surface of the frustum is connected to the clamping disc 1, and a connecting shaft 61, cylindrical in shape, is provided on the upper bottom surface of the frustum. A circular hole 15 is formed in the center of the clamping disc 1, and the connecting shaft 61 is fixedly installed in the circular hole 15. The adjustable sandblasting cage of the present invention for turbine sandblasting is placed in a sandblasting device. The sandblasting device has two sets of rollers, each of which drives the rotating shaft 6 mounted at the center of the outer end face of the clamping disc 1 to rotate, thereby driving the entire invention to rotate.

[0035] The working method of this invention: S1. The two ends of the adjusting rod 3 each pass through a radial through hole 12 of the clamping disk 1. The adjusting rod 3 moves and adjusts its position along the shape of the radial through hole 12 of the clamping disk 1. The fixed position of the adjusting rod 3 in the radial through hole 12 is initially determined according to the size of the turbine. When the turbine is large, the fixed position of the adjusting rod 3 in the radial through hole 12 is far away from the center of the clamping disk 1. When the turbine is small, the fixed position of the adjusting rod 3 in the radial through hole 12 is close to the center of the clamping disk 1.

[0036] In step S1, the adjusting rods 3 are parallel to each other, and the two clamping disks 1 are parallel to each other; the adjusting rods 3 can be moved to adjust their positions along the shape of the radial through hole 12 of the clamping disk 1.

[0037] In step S1, first nuts are first rotated and installed on both ends of the adjusting rod 3. The two ends of the adjusting rod 3 pass through the radial through hole 12 of the clamping disk 1. At this time, the first nuts will abut against the clamping disk 1 and are located on the inner side of the clamping disk 1. Second nuts are rotated on both ends of the adjusting rod 3 and are located on the outer side of the clamping disk 1. At this time, rotating the first nuts and the second nuts clamps the clamping disk 1, so that the adjusting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the clamping disk 1.

[0038] S2, keep the adjusting rod 3 as follows: Figure 1 With the turbine in a horizontal position, place it linearly on the adjusting rod 3 at a preset angle.

[0039] S3. Connect the four disassembly rods between the two clamping discs and adjust the position of the disassembly rods in the opening slots so that the disassembly rods can fit tightly against the upper edge of the turbine, thereby fixing the turbine in the space constructed by the adjusting rods, the disassembly rods and the clamping discs.

[0040] In step S3, a third nut is first rotated and installed on both ends of the disassembly rod 2. The end of the disassembly rod 2 is placed in the opening slot 11 of the clamping plate 1. At this time, the third nut is located inside the clamping plate 1. The third nut is rotated so that it abuts against the clamping plate 1, and the disassembly rod 2 is initially fixed to the clamping plate 1.

[0041] S4. Provide a retaining ring 51 and a retaining block 52. Select a suitable retaining block 52 and engage it in the opening slot 11. The retaining block 52 abuts against the disassembly rod 2. Adjust the retaining block 52 so that the second limiting groove 521 on the outer wall of the retaining block 52 is on the same arc as the first limiting groove 14 of the clamping plate 1.

[0042] Rotate the fourth nut on both ends of the disassembly rod 2. The fourth nut is located on the outside of the clamping plate 1. At this time, rotate the third nut and the fourth nut to clamp the clamping plate 1, so that the disassembly rod 2 and the clamping plate 1 are further fixedly connected.

[0043] The snap-fit ​​ends 511 of the snap ring 51 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 13. The two ends of the snap ring 51 are connected to the clamping disc 1. The snap ring 51 limits the snap block 52 in the opening groove 11. Figure 4 The main body of the retaining ring 51 is located in the first limiting groove 14 and the second limiting groove 521, such as Figure 4 In this state, the retaining ring 51 is limited in the first limiting groove 14 of the clamping plate 1, and the retaining ring 51 cannot move left or right and fall off. The retaining ring 51 is also stuck in the second limiting groove 521 of the clamping block 52, and the clamping block 52 cannot move left or right and fall off. The clamping block 52 is limited in the opening groove 11 of the clamping plate 1 by the retaining ring 51.

[0044] S5. Fix the rotating shaft 6 at the round hole 15 on the side of the clamping plate 1.

[0045] S6. The adjustable sandblasting cage of the present invention is placed in the sandblasting equipment and rotated to perform sandblasting treatment.

[0046] S7. After the sandblasting process is completed, remove the adjustable sandblasting cage of the present invention from the sandblasting equipment, remove the retaining spring 51 and retaining block 52, remove the disassembly rod 2 from the opening slot 11, and take out the sandblasted turbine.

[0047] In step S7, when removing the retaining ring 51, a tool is used to pry the retaining end 511 of the retaining ring 51 so that the retaining end 511 is disengaged from the retaining groove 13.

[0048] Example 2 An adjustable blasting cage for turbine blasting, employing the adjustable blasting cage for turbine blasting as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the clamping disc 1 and locking structure 5 are structured as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the main body of the locking structure 5's retaining spring 51 is C-shaped, and the two ends of the retaining spring 51 are provided with long strip-shaped locking ends 511. Pairs of locking grooves 13 are opened on the circumferential surface of the clamping disk 1. The locking grooves 13 are long strip-shaped, and the locking ends 511 are locked in the locking grooves 13. The retaining spring 51 is locked on the circumferential wall of the clamping disk 1 as a whole. The retaining spring 51 limits the disassembly rod 2 in the opening groove 11 of the clamping disk 1.

[0049] Example 3 An adjustable sandblasting cage for turbine sandblasting is provided, which adopts the adjustable sandblasting cage for turbine sandblasting as in Embodiment 2, wherein a locking block 52 is engaged in each opening slot 11, a retaining spring 51 limits the locking block 52 in the opening slot 11, and the locking block 52 limits the disassembly rod 2 in the opening slot 11.

[0050] Example 4 An adjustable blasting cage for turbine blasting, employing the adjustable blasting cage for turbine blasting as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the clamping disk 1 has the following structure: Figure 9 As shown, the upper half of the clamping disk 1 is an opening and adjustment section, with four opening slots 11 and four retaining slots 13. A circular hole 15 is formed in the center of the clamping disk 1. The lower half of the clamping disk 1 is an adjustment section, with several radial through holes 12 formed in the lower half. The radial through holes 12 are circular and are evenly arranged on three circles of different radii with the center of the clamping disk 1 as the center. Figure 9 Three radial through holes 12 are evenly distributed on the smallest radius, three radial through holes 12 are evenly distributed on the largest radius, and four radial through holes 12 are evenly distributed on the middle radius.

[0051] In use, depending on the size of the turbine, select the radial through hole 12 of the same radius to install the adjusting rod 3, place the turbine, then install the adjusting and disassembling rod 2, and then install the locking structure to limit the disassembling rod 2 in the opening slot 11 of the clamping plate 1.

[0052] In summary, the adjustable sandblasting cage of the present invention adopts an openable cage structure, which facilitates the placement of turbines into the sandblasting cage for batch turbine sandblasting, thereby improving production efficiency. The adjustable sandblasting cage of the present invention is suitable for turbines of various sizes and specifications, and has a wide range of applications. When the nut at the end of the disassembly rod is loosened during the sandblasting process, the locking structure prevents the disassembly rod from falling out of the opening slot of the clamping plate, and the locking structure limits the disassembly rod in the opening slot of the clamping plate.
