[0002] The common method of locking cup pressing is to use an ordinary locking cup press to press the locking cup, then pass the screw through the central through hole of the locking cup, screw it into the threaded hole of the center bolt, then use a wrench to press the screw, and use another wrench to tighten the nut to drive the press, thereby pressing the locking cup. After the gas turbine disc is installed in place, it is necessary to use the center bolt to lock the gas turbine disc to prevent the gas turbine disc from moving forward and backward during the operation of the engine. In order to further ensure the safety and reliability of the gas turbine disc, a locking cup is added between the gas turbine disc and the center bolt. When the center bolt is installed in place, the three convex teeth at the bottom of the locking cup are inserted into the three grooves of the gas turbine disc. The installation of the gas turbine disc can be completed by simply pressing the locking cup against the center bolt. The ordinary locking cup press has an unreasonable structure of the locking cup chuck, which causes the locking cup to not fit the center bolt, and the chuck of the locking cup press is not strong enough, so it cannot meet the requirements after several uses.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] The structure of the gas turbine disk assembly is as follows Figure 1 As shown, a central bolt 4 is embedded in the middle of the gas turbine disk 6 through a locking cup 5 .

[0033] The main structure of this embodiment is as follows: Figures 2~4 As shown, it includes a screw rod 2 with one end detachably connected to the center bolt 4, a pressing piece 1 is embedded on the screw rod 2, and a plurality of support columns 11 arranged in a ring array with the axis of the pressing piece 1 are arranged on the end face of the front side of the pressing piece 1 facing the end of the lock cup 5, and each of the support columns 11 is installed with a chuck 12, and the inner side of the chuck 12 is an arc surface. The pressing piece 1 can slide on the screw rod 2 so that the chuck 12 is close to the outer side of the center bolt 4 to clamp the side wall of the lock cup 5, thereby deforming the side wall of the lock cup 5, thereby realizing the fastening of the lock cup 5 to the center bolt 4.

[0034] The specific usage process is: fix one end of the screw rod 2 with the center bolt 4, and then nest the pressing piece 1 on the screw rod 2. The front end face of the pressing piece 1 has a support column 11 on one side facing the center bolt 4, and then push the pressing piece 1 to slide on the screw rod 2, so that the chuck 12 installed on the upper part of the support column 11 is close to the center bolt 4, and clamps the side wall of the lock cup 5 from the outside. Since the inner side of the chuck 12 is an arc surface, as the pressing piece 1 continues to move on the screw rod 2 toward the center bolt 4, the chuck 12 clamps the side wall of the lock cup 5, causing the side wall of the lock cup 5 to sink inward and deform, thereby achieving the fastening of the lock cup 5 and the center bolt 4.

[0035] After the locking cup 5 is locked, the screw rod 2 can be directly separated from the central bolt 4 , and the pressing piece 1 on the screw rod 2 can be removed together.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the structure of the screw 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, a second threaded column 22 is provided at one end of the screw 2 connected to the center bolt 4, and the end of the screw 2 is threadedly connected to the center bolt 4 through the second threaded column 22. The second threaded column 22 provided at the end of the screw 2 is mainly for threaded connection with the end of the center bolt 4, so as to achieve the fixation of the end of the screw 2 to the entire gas turbine disc assembly. After the pressing piece 1 completes the locking process of the lock cup 5, the screw 2 can also be easily separated from the entire gas turbine disc assembly. At this time, there is no need to deliberately remove the pressing piece 1 from the screw 2, which further ensures the fixing effect and simplifies the installation process of the entire gas turbine disc assembly. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0038] Embodiment 3:

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the structure of the screw 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, the middle part of the screw 2 is a first threaded column 21, and the pressing piece 1 is provided with a threaded hole 13 matching the first threaded column 21, and the pressing piece 1 is threadedly connected with the first threaded column 21 in the middle part of the screw 2 through the threaded hole 13. The first threaded column 21 is provided in the middle part of the screw 2 mainly to realize the threaded connection process with the pressing piece 1, so that when the pressing piece 1 moves on the screw 2, it is necessary to rotate the pressing piece 1 so that the pressing piece 1 slides on the screw 2, thereby realizing the locking process of the lock cup 5. The screw 2 is threadedly connected with the pressing piece 1 through the first threaded column 21, which can ensure the stability of the sliding process of the pressing piece 1, so that the locking quality of the lock cup 5 can be ensured. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0040] Embodiment 4:

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the structure of the pressing member 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the pressing piece 1 is also provided with a knurled pattern. Since the pressing piece 1 is threadedly connected to the first threaded column 21 of the screw rod 2, the pressing piece 1 needs to be rotated during the sliding process. In order to avoid slipping, a knurled pattern is provided on the surface of the pressing piece 1 to facilitate the rotation of the pressing piece 1. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be described in detail.

[0042] Embodiment 5:

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further adds a clamping nut 3. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the middle part of the screw rod 2 is a first threaded column 21, and the pressing piece 1 is nested on the first threaded column 21. A clamping nut 3 threadedly connected to the first threaded column 21 is also provided on the rear side of the pressing piece 1. The clamping nut 3 can be rotated on the first threaded column 21 to clamp the pressing piece 1, so that the chuck 12 on the front side of the pressing piece 1 moves toward the lock cup 5 until the lock cup 5 is clamped. Since the lock cup 5 will provide a reverse thrust to the chuck 12 at the front end of the pressing piece 1 during the locking process of the lock cup 5, the clamping nut 3 is specially provided, and the clamping nut 3 cooperates with the first threaded column 21 to prevent the pressing piece 1 from rebounding and ensure the locking quality of the lock cup 5. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0044] Embodiment 6:

[0045] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the structure of the screw 2, such as Figure 5 As shown, a flat head 23 is provided at the other end of the first threaded column 21 in the middle of the screw rod 2 compared to the second threaded column 22. Since the pressure piece 1 or the locking nut 3 needs to rotate on the screw rod 2, and the screw rod 2 and the center screw rod 4 are also threadedly connected, in order to avoid mutual interference between the two, a flat head is particularly provided at the other end of the screw rod 2, so that when the pressure piece 1 or the locking nut 3 rotates on the screw rod 2, the flat head 23 can be clamped by tools such as pliers to prevent the screw rod 2 from rotating and affecting the fixing and guiding effect. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0046] Embodiment 7:

[0047] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the structure of the screw 2, such as Figure 5As shown, the first threaded column 21 is coaxial with the second threaded column 22, and the diameter of the first threaded column 21 is not less than the diameter of the second threaded column 22. By defining the relationship between the first threaded column 21 and the second threaded column 22 in this way, the guiding effect of the screw rod 2 on the pressing piece 1 can be well achieved, and the diameter of the first threaded column 21 is slightly larger than the second threaded column 22, which can prevent the first threaded column 21 from contacting the center bolt 4, causing the screw rod 2 to penetrate the entire center bolt 4, thereby playing a role in limiting the fixing of the screw rod 2. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0048] Embodiment 8:

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the structure of the pressing member 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, arc chamfers are provided between the support column 11 and the end surface of the pressing piece 1. This arrangement can prevent the support column 11 from contacting the center bolt 4 and causing damage to the center bolt, and can also increase the strength of the support column 11. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be described in detail.

[0050] Embodiment 9:

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the structure of the pressing member 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, two support columns 11 are symmetrically arranged on the end surface of the front side of the pressing piece 1 facing one end of the lock cup 5, and the minimum spacing between the upper clamps 12 of the two support columns 11 is 0.1mm~0.3mm larger than the diameter of the maximum cross section of the center bolt 4. The number of clamps 12 determines the number of concave sides of the lock cup 5 side wall. Considering the cost, the fastening structure of the lock cup 5 and the center bolt 4, it is more appropriate to have concave sides of the lock cup 5 symmetrically, that is, the number of clamps 12 is two, and they are symmetrically arranged. In addition, since the lock cup 5 is placed inside the gas turbine disc 6, the spacing between the clamps 12 cannot be too large, otherwise it cannot be placed in the gas turbine disc 6, but the clamps 12 must pass through the outside of the center bolt 4. After actual measurement, it is most appropriate that the minimum spacing between the clamps 12 is 0.1mm~0.3mm larger than the diameter of the maximum cross section of the center bolt 4, and the setting of this distance can also prevent the pressing piece 1 from moving left and right during the clamping process. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0052] Embodiment 10:

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines the structure of the pressing piece 1, and the curvature of the inner arc surface of the chuck 12 is 1°~5°. The curvature of the inner arc surface of the chuck 12 determines the depth of the concave side wall of the lock cup 5. After measuring the lock cup 5 and the center bolt 4, it is preferred that the curvature of the inner arc surface is 1°~5°, so that the lock cup 5 and the center bolt 4 are locked without damaging the center bolt 4. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0054] It can be understood that the device structure of a press for installing a gas turbine disk assembly according to an embodiment of the utility model, such as the working principle and working process of components such as the screw 2 and the clamping nut 3 are all prior arts and are well known to technicians in this field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
