Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aircraft blade clamps, in particular to an aircraft engine blade clamping device. Background Art

[0002] When measuring or polishing blades, the blades need to be clamped and fixed. Since the blade body is a thin-walled rotational surface, the blade body cannot be clamped. The tenon and groove part of the blade is a symmetrical surface and is relatively thick, so it can be clamped. However, the working surface of the tenon and groove is also the reference for measurement or processing. Using the working surface of the tenon and groove as a clamping positioning surface also has shortcomings, which brings inconvenience to measurement.

[0003] Existing blade clamping tooling technologies mostly use the working surface of the blade tenon and groove for clamping and positioning. Their disadvantages are: it is easy to cause damage to the blade working surface; different blades require different tooling, which is costly and takes a long time to make the fixture; the structure is relatively complex, and the actual operation is greatly restricted by space factors; for measurement tasks with a large number of parts and a large volume, the measurement process is not easy to adjust and the efficiency is low.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning device includes a positioning base, a fixed block, a positioning rod, and a fastening nail. The positioning base is fixedly connected to the device base, the positioning base is fixedly connected to the fixed block, the fixed block is slidably connected to the positioning rod, the fastening nail is connected to the fixed block by threaded engagement, and the top of the positioning rod is spherical.

[0008] Preferably, there are two bolt holes on the chuck shell and they are respectively located in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the chuck shell.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model provides an aircraft engine blade clamping device, which has the following beneficial effects. Through its structural design, when the blade needs to be clamped in the vertical direction, the clamping device on the device base is used to drive the chuck shell to move to the tenon groove of the blade, and then the connecting shaft is rotated. The rotation of the connecting shaft drives the ratchet and the gear to rotate. The ratchet rotation prevents the ratchet from rotating through the ratchet teeth. The gear rotation drives the arc-shaped rack to slide toward the outside of the chuck shell. The sliding of the arc-shaped rack drives the clamping plate corresponding to the arc-shaped rack to rotate. After the clamping plate on each chuck shell is adjusted to an angle suitable for the tenon groove of the blade in the above manner, the clamping plate is again contacted with the tenon groove of the blade through the clamping device. When the blade is clamped, four lines contact the blade, and the positioning is reliable and the force is not too concentrated, thereby reducing deformation during clamping and damage to the blade. After the clamping plate clamps the tenon groove of the blade, the blade is positioned through the positioning device to prevent the blade from moving in the horizontal direction when being fixed. When it is necessary to clamp the blade horizontally, the chuck shell is removed from the clamping device by means of bolts and the direction is changed, and the blade can be clamped horizontally in the above manner. The positioning device can prevent the blade from moving vertically. When the clamping effect is released, the locking rod is pulled upward, and the locking rod moves upward to drive the transmission rod to move upward. The transmission rod moves upward to drive the two ratchets to move upward and separate from the ratchet. At this time, the connecting shaft can be rotated in the opposite direction to reset the angle of the clamping plate. When the angle of the clamping plate is reset, the locking rod is released, and the spring drives the transmission rod to reset. The transmission rod resets and drives the locking rod to reset while driving the ratchet and the ratchet to engage again, waiting for the next clamping by the staff. The overall structure of the utility model is easy to operate and through the clamping plate with adjustable angle, the utility model can match the shape of the tenon groove of most tenon structure blades and perform clamping, which reduces the tooling manufacturing cost and the time for frequent replacement of clamps, and improves work efficiency.

The ball at the end of the positioning rod 1303 can achieve point positioning with the blade to avoid over-positioning. When the blade needs to be clamped in the horizontal direction, the outer part of the chuck is clamped.
