Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing and repair technology for large shaft parts, and in particular to a repair equipment for large shaft parts and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Large shaft components are crucial transmission and load-bearing parts in modern heavy industry and high-end equipment, primarily used in key areas such as energy and power (e.g., steam turbines, generator rotors), heavy machinery (e.g., rolling mills, mining equipment), ship propulsion, and major engineering projects (e.g., tunnel boring machines). Therefore, stringent requirements are placed on their mechanical performance, lifespan, and reliability. Under extreme service conditions, large shaft components are subjected to alternating loads, impacts, friction, vibration, and corrosive media, frequently exhibiting fatigue wear, pitting, fracture, or other defects on their surfaces, necessitating regular repair and replacement. However, due to the high manufacturing cost and long repair cycle of large shaft components, the development and application of shaft component repair and remanufacturing technologies are of great significance. Arc-wire additive manufacturing, as a direct energy deposition process, uses an arc-wire method to add new materials to repair damaged components. Its deposited layer has a dense structure, low porosity, high material utilization and deposition efficiency, and the equipment is simple to manufacture and inexpensive, making it an advanced method for component repair.

[0003] However, the surface roughness of parts repaired by arc additive manufacturing cannot meet the normal usage requirements of shaft parts. Precision turning and other machining processes are needed to ensure that the repaired parts meet the requirements for dimensional tolerances, geometric tolerances, and surface roughness. Currently, the process design for additive manufacturing repair of large shaft parts is segmented and discrete. The core repair processes are not continuous, and the pretreatment, additive manufacturing repair, machining, and quality assessment are disconnected and poorly connected. This relies heavily on manual intervention, resulting in low repair efficiency and long cycles. There is a lack of integrated and automated equipment for arc additive manufacturing repair of large shaft parts. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0038] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a large shaft part repair equipment, including a housing 1, a bed main support 2 fixed inside the housing 1, a spindle box housing 3 fixed at one end of the bed main support 2, and a MIG wire feeder 4, a MIG welding power source 5 and a protective gas cylinder 6 respectively arranged at a corner of the housing 1 away from the spindle box housing 3. The MIG wire feeder 4 and the MIG welding power source 5 provide hardware support for the additive repair process of large shaft parts, and the protective gas cylinder 6 provides the necessary protective atmosphere for the additive repair process of large shaft parts.

[0039] A main control panel is fixed to the outside of the encapsulation housing 1. The main control panel contains multiple windows, namely, an additive repair process parameter setting window, a mechanical subtractive process parameter setting window, a window for planning the three-dimensional morphology and repair path of the damaged part, a window for inspecting the surface quality of the part, and a window for real-time monitoring of equipment operation program and data. These windows are used to plan repair schemes, control equipment operation, and detect repair data. A push-pull slide rail is horizontally placed on the front side of the encapsulation housing 1. A push-pull front safety door 13 is slidably moved between the two push-pull slide rails and the push-pull slide rail strip. The push-pull front safety door 13 can be flexibly pushed and pulled open and closed through the push-pull slide rail and the push-pull slide rail strip, which is convenient for operation from the front of the encapsulation housing 1. A swing-type rear safety door and a swing-type welding machine safety door are respectively hinged to the rear side of the encapsulation housing 1 for loading and unloading large shaft parts to be repaired.

[0040] Example 2, refer to Figures 1 to 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0041] Specifically, a main rotary positioning assembly and a secondary rotary positioning assembly are respectively provided at both ends of the bed main support 2. The main rotary positioning assembly includes a spindle servo motor 71 fixed at the other end of the bed main support 2, a drive wheel 72 sleeved on the output shaft of the spindle servo motor 71, a driven wheel 74 driven by a transmission belt 73 on the outside of the drive wheel 72, and a main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 fixed on the inside of the driven wheel 74 by a transmission shaft 75.

[0042] First, a lifting device is used to clamp one end of the large shaft part 89 to be repaired into the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 to pre-clamp and position one end of the large shaft part 89. When linear rotation of the large shaft part 89 is required, the main spindle servo motor 71 is turned on and drives the driven wheel 74 and the drive shaft 75 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 73 on the drive wheel 72. The drive shaft 75 drives the clamped end of the large shaft part 89 to rotate linearly through the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76.

[0043] Specifically, the secondary rotary positioning assembly includes a secondary spindle servo motor 81 fixed to one side of the bed main support 2, a secondary spindle moving lead screw 82 fixed to the output shaft of the secondary spindle servo motor 81, a secondary spindle lead screw sleeve 83 threadedly connected to the secondary spindle moving lead screw 82, a secondary spindle ball nut connecting plate 84 fixed to the outside of the secondary spindle lead screw sleeve 83, a secondary spindle moving guide rail 85 fixed on the secondary spindle ball nut connecting plate 84, and a secondary spindle motor protective cover 86 fixed on the secondary spindle moving guide rail 85.

[0044] The control spindle servo motor 81 is turned on and drives the spindle moving screw 82 to rotate linearly forward. The spindle moving screw 82 drives the spindle moving guide rail 85 and the spindle motor protective cover 86 to move forward through the spindle ball nut connecting plate 84 on the spindle sleeve 83. At the same time, the spindle motor protective cover 86 drives the spindle three-jaw self-centering chuck 88 to move forward through the spindle stepper motor 87 and clamp the other end of the large shaft part 89. It is suitable for the effective clamping and positioning of large shaft parts 89 of different specifications. It has a wide range of applications, does not require replacement of the positioning mechanism, and is more efficient.

[0045] A secondary spindle motor protective cover 86 houses a secondary spindle stepper motor 87. A secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88, which mates with the primary three-jaw self-centering chuck 76, is fixed to the output shaft of the secondary spindle stepper motor 87. A large shaft-like part 89 is engaged between the primary three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 and the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88. The effective diameter range of the primary three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 to the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88 is 100mm to 500mm. The diameters of the two ends of the large shaft-like part 89 range from 100mm to 500mm, the maximum diameter of the middle section is 800mm, and the length ranges from 600mm to 2000mm, forming a dual-spindle structure that improves the positioning stability and machining accuracy of the large shaft-like part 89.

[0046] When linear rotation of a large shaft part 89 is required, the secondary spindle stepper motor 87 and the main spindle servo motor 71 are started synchronously and at the same speed. The secondary spindle stepper motor 87 drives the other end of the large shaft part 89, which is clamped in place, through the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88, to rotate linearly at the same speed as the drive shaft 75. The drive shaft 75, through the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76, drives one end of the large shaft part 89, which is clamped in place, to rotate synchronously and linearly, thus meeting the subsequent precision machining and repair needs of the large shaft part 89.

[0047] Example 3, referring to Figures 1 to 7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0048] Specifically, the main body support 2 of the bed is equipped with a precision machining assembly and a welding assembly on the outer side near the main rotary positioning assembly and the auxiliary rotary positioning assembly, respectively. The precision machining assembly includes a tool post servo motor 91 fixed on the side of the main body support 2 near the auxiliary spindle servo motor 81, and a tool post moving ball screw 92 fixed on the output shaft of the tool post servo motor 91. A tool post screw sleeve 93 is threaded onto the tool post moving ball screw 92, and a tool post ball nut connecting plate 94 is fixed on the outer side of the tool post screw sleeve 93. A tool post feed moving guide rail 95 is fixed on the tool post ball nut connecting plate 94, and an X-direction first static guide rail 11 is fixed on the main body support 2, which slides with the auxiliary spindle moving guide rail 85 and the tool post feed moving guide rail 95. The X-direction first static guide rail 11 plays a sliding limiting role for the auxiliary spindle moving guide rail 85 and the tool post feed moving guide rail 95, thereby improving their displacement stability.

[0049] The tool holder servo motor 91 is turned on and the tool holder moves the ball screw 92, which drives the tool holder ball nut connecting plate 94 and the tool holder feed guide rail 95 on the tool holder screw sleeve 93 to move synchronously.

[0050] Specifically, a tool post base 96 is provided on the tool post feed guide rail 95, and a tool post stepper motor 97 is embedded in the tool post base 96. A turret CNC tool post 98 is fixed on the output shaft of the tool post stepper motor 97, and a turning tool 99 is provided on the turret CNC tool post 98. When the turning tool 99 needs to be replaced, the turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 is first moved away from the large shaft part 89, and then the tool post stepper motor 97 is controlled to drive the turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 to rotate, so as to replace the next set of turning tools 99.

[0051] The tool post feed guide rail 95 drives the selected turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 to move along the tool post stepper motor 97 on the tool post base 96. The selected turning tool 99 then performs precision turning repair on the repair part of the large shaft part 89 which is in linear rotation, thereby achieving automated and integrated precision turning repair of the large shaft part 89.

[0052] Specifically, the welding assembly includes a gantry component servo motor 101 fixed on the other side of the bed main support 2, a gantry component ball screw 102 fixed on the output shaft of the gantry component servo motor 101, a gantry component screw sleeve 103 threadedly connected to the gantry component ball screw 102, a gantry component ball nut connecting plate 104 fixed on the outside of the gantry component screw sleeve 103, a gantry component moving guide rail 105 fixed on the gantry component ball nut connecting plate 104, and a second static guide rail 12 in the X direction that slides with the gantry component moving guide rail 105 fixed on the outside of the bed main support 2, which plays a sliding limiting role for the gantry component moving guide rail 105 and improves the displacement stability of the gantry component moving guide rail 105.

[0053] The servo motor 101 of the gantry component drives the ball screw 102 of the gantry component to rotate linearly in both directions. The ball screw 102 of the gantry component drives the ball nut connecting plate 104 and the moving guide rail 105 of the gantry component to perform axial displacement along the X-axis through the ball screw sleeve 103 of the gantry component.

[0054] The effective stroke of the tool post moving ball screw 92, the sub-spindle moving ball screw 82, and the gantry component ball screw 102 is 2000mm, the linear motion speed is adjustable from 0 to 100mm / s, and the repeatability is ±0.01mm.

[0055] Specifically, a support connecting frame 106 is longitudinally mounted on the outer side of the gantry component moving guide rail 105. A Y-direction motion module 107 is mounted on the two support connecting frames 106, and a Z-direction motion module 108 is mounted on the Y-direction motion module 107. A transition profile 109 is mounted on the outer side of the Z-direction motion module 108. The repeatability of the Y-direction motion module 107 and the Z-direction motion module 108 is ±0.05mm, and the linear motion speed is adjustable from 0 to 80mm / s. The Y-direction linear motion module is model FKM120-S850-SG-1205, with a stroke of 850mm, and the Z-direction linear motion module is model FKM120-S350-SG-1605, with a stroke of 350mm.

[0056] A structured light sensor 1010 is fixed on one of the adapter profiles 109, and a MIG welding torch 1012 is fixed on the other adapter profile 109 via a welding torch clamp 1011. It is compatible with the MIG wire feeder 4 and the MIG welding power source 5 and is suitable for one-element and pulsed gas metal arc welding, MMA welding and argon arc welding.

[0057] The structured light sensor 1010 selected is the KEYENCE LJ-X8020 fully automatic laser scanning 3D vision sensor. The reference distance for the sensing head is 20mm, the effective measurement range is 4.4mm, the contour data interval is 2.5μm, and the surface detection accuracy is ±0.01mm. Before additive repair, the structured light sensor 1010 scans the 3D morphology of the defect, and the host control software plans the repair deposition path trajectory based on the defect's 3D morphology, ensuring minimal additive quality and improving efficiency while saving costs. After machining, the structured light sensor 1010 scans the machined surface to obtain the 3D morphology of the surface contour and calculates the surface roughness Ra. Feedback is provided to determine whether the machined surface quality meets the standards and whether further repair or finishing is needed, achieving closed-loop control.

[0058] The gantry component moving guide rail 105 drives the component on it to move axially along the X-axis through two support connecting frames 106, and the component on it is adjusted axially along the Y-axis by the Y-direction motion module 107. The Z-direction motion module 108 drives the structure light sensor 1010 and the MIG welding gun 1012 on the welding gun fixture 1011 to adjust axially along the Z-axis through two adapter profiles 109 until the structure light sensor 1010 and the MIG welding gun 1012 reach the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89. The structure light sensor 1010 accurately scans the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89, and the MIG welding gun 1012 welds and repairs the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89, realizing the effectiveness and diversity of the repair of the large shaft part 89 and meeting the repair needs of the large shaft part 89 under different damage conditions.

[0059] A method for using a repair tool for large shaft parts includes the following steps: Step 1: Open all safety doors on the encapsulation housing 1, and open the main control panel. Turn on the MIG wire feeder 4, MIG welding power supply 5 and protective gas cylinder 6. Return all shafts to zero. Remove the oxide layer and oil from the large shaft parts 89 to be repaired, and clamp them correctly to ensure sufficient clamping force. Step Two: Using the main control panel, operate the structured light sensor 1010 to scan the area to be repaired on the large shaft part 89. During this process, first control the main spindle servo motor 71 and the auxiliary spindle stepper motor 87 to drive the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89 to the welding horizontal zone of the structured light sensor 1010 via the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 and the auxiliary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88. Then, control the gantry component servo motor 101 to drive the gantry component ball screw 102 to rotate linearly in both directions. The gantry component ball screw 102, through the gantry component screw sleeve 103, drives the gantry component ball nut connecting plate 104 and the gantry component moving guide rail 105 to perform axial displacement along the X-axis. The gantry component moving guide rail 105 drives the component on it to move axially along the X-axis through two support connecting frames 106, and the component on it is adjusted axially along the Y-axis by the Y-direction motion module 107. The Z-direction motion module 108 drives the structure light sensor 1010 and the MIG welding gun 1012 on the welding gun fixture 1011 to adjust axially along the Z-axis through two adapter profiles 109 until the structure light sensor 1010 reaches the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89. The structure light sensor 1010 accurately scans the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89, obtains the three-dimensional morphological data map of the damaged area, and performs additive repair deposition path planning. Step 3: Set the additive repair process parameters on the main control panel, including deposition rate, voltage, wire feed rate, etc.; set the mechanical subtractive machining process parameters on the main control panel, including spindle speed, depth of cut, feed rate, tool selection, etc.; correctly edit the machining program, perform additive repair first, and then perform subtractive machining. Step 4: Close all safety doors and start the machining program to repair the large shaft part 89. Before this, use a lifting tool to clamp one end of the large shaft part 89 to be repaired into the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 and position it in the horizontal area of ​​the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88. Then, control the secondary spindle servo motor 81 to start and drive the secondary spindle moving screw 82 to rotate linearly forward. The secondary spindle moving screw 82 drives the secondary spindle moving guide rail 85 and the secondary spindle motor protective cover 86 to move forward through the secondary spindle ball nut connecting plate 84 on the secondary spindle screw sleeve 83. At the same time, the secondary spindle motor protective cover 86 drives the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88 to move forward through the secondary spindle stepper motor 87 and clamps the other end of the large shaft part 89. Step 5: Next, the main spindle servo motor 71 and the secondary spindle stepper motor 87 are started synchronously. The main spindle servo motor 71 drives the driven wheel 74 and the drive shaft 75 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 73 on the drive wheel 72. The drive shaft 75 drives one end of the large shaft part 89, which is clamped in place, to rotate linearly through the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76. At the same time, the secondary spindle stepper motor 87 drives the other end of the large shaft part 89, which is clamped in place, to rotate linearly at the same speed as the drive shaft 75 through the secondary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88. Step Six: Simultaneously, first control the tool post servo motor 91 to start and move the tool post ball screw 92 to drive the tool post ball nut connecting plate 94 on the tool post screw sleeve 93 and the tool post feed guide rail 95 to move synchronously. The tool post feed guide rail 95 drives the selected turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 to move accordingly through the tool post stepper motor 97 on the tool post base 96. The selected turning tool 99 then performs precision turning repair on the repair part of the large shaft part 89 that is in linear rotation. If it is necessary to replace the turning tool 99, first move the turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 away from the large shaft part 89, and then control the tool post stepper motor 97 to drive the turning tool 99 on the turret CNC tool post 98 to rotate. After replacing the next set of turning tools 99, the same process is repeated to continue precision turning repair on the repair part of the large shaft part 89 that is in linear rotation. Step 7: When welding is required on the large shaft part 89 that has been clamped in place, the structured light sensor 1010 first accurately scans the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89. Then, the main spindle servo motor 71 and the auxiliary spindle stepper motor 87 are controlled to move the repair area of ​​the large shaft part 89 to the welding horizontal zone of the MIG welding torch 1012 through the main three-jaw self-centering chuck 76 and the auxiliary three-jaw self-centering chuck 88, respectively. Then, the gantry component servo motor 101 is controlled to drive the gantry component ball screw 102 to rotate linearly in both directions. The gantry component ball screw 102 drives the gantry component ball nut connecting plate through the gantry component screw sleeve 103. 104 and the gantry component moving guide rail 105 are moved axially along the X-axis. The gantry component moving guide rail 105 drives the components on it to move axially along the X-axis through two support connecting frames 106. The components on it are adjusted axially along the Y-axis by the Y-direction motion module 107. The Z-direction motion module 108 drives the structure light sensor 1010 and the MIG welding gun 1012 on the welding gun fixture 1011 to adjust axially along the Z-axis through two adapter profiles 109 until the MIG welding gun 1012 reaches the repair part of the large shaft part 89. The MIG welding gun 1012 then welds and repairs the repair part of the large shaft part 89. Step 8: After the repair program is completed, the structured light sensor 1010 scans the surface of the repair area to obtain a three-dimensional surface topography data map, calculates the surface roughness Ra value, compares it with the standard value, and provides feedback on whether the surface quality meets the standard. Step Nine: If the surface quality of the repaired area of ​​the large shaft part 89 does not meet the standards, continue with precision turning; if the surface quality of the repaired area of ​​the large shaft part 89 meets the standards, the repair process is complete. Step 10: Open the safety door, disassemble the parts, turn off the MIG wire feeder 4, MIG welding power supply 5 and protective gas cylinder 6, turn off the main control panel, close all safety doors, and complete the repair and processing of large shaft parts 89.
