It is a high-strength, non-magnetic, metal ring-shaped component used to prevent the rotor components and the ends of the excitation winding from deformation, displacement and eccentricity under the action of electromagnetic force and high-speed centrifugal force. During the machining process, the guard ring needs to be fixed and clamped using a positioning tool.
[0003] The existing publication number is CN217727898U, and the patent name is a patent document of a tooling for processing a retaining ring. It discloses that the spiral convex strips on the wire disc cooperate with the arc strips at the bottom of multiple driving blocks, so that the multiple driving blocks drive the slide bars to move linearly along the slide groove, and the retaining ring is self-centeringly clamped by multiple clamping blocks, which has a wide range of applications;

[0031] Example:
[0032] This embodiment provides a tool for processing a retaining ring, referring to Figure 1 , including a bearing plate 1, the bearing plate 1 is used to place the guard ring, the end of the bearing plate 1 is installed with a mounting frame 2 arranged vertically on the bearing plate 1, wherein the mounting frame 2 includes a middle plate 21, the bottom end of the middle plate 21 is installed with a linear module moving forward and backward, the middle plate 21 is vertically arranged at the rear side of the bearing plate 1, and the middle plate 21 and the bearing plate 1 are parallel to each other, refer to Figure 2When loading, the linear module drives the middle plate 21 to move backward, and the clamping assembly 4 can be pulled out backward, and then the guard ring can be rolled onto the bearing plate 1 from the right end or the left end, and the bearing plate 1 is used to bear most of the weight of the guard ring. In addition, a sliding hole 22 is opened at the edge of the middle plate 21, and the clamping assembly 4 passes through the middle plate 21 front and back through the sliding hole 22. The sliding hole 22 is slidably installed with a clamping assembly 4 that moves horizontally along the length direction of the sliding hole 22. Through the horizontal movement of the clamping assembly 4, it can be close to the guard ring, cooperate with the bearing plate 1 for three-point support, and cooperate with the dead weight of the guard ring to complete the positioning of the guard ring. The guard ring rolls on the bearing plate 1, and the movement resistance is small.
[0033] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The clamping assembly 4 includes a side roller 43, and the outer side of the side roller 43 is wrapped with an elastically deformable rubber sleeve, which does not affect the forward and backward movement of the side roller 43 at the position of the sliding hole 22, and can also prevent the hard metal from directly contacting the guard ring and preventing the outer edge of the guard ring from being worn. The side roller 43 is cylindrical, and the side roller 43 is radially parallel to the bearing plate 1 and is perpendicular to the mounting frame 2 and is arranged toward one end of the bearing plate 1. At the same time, two side rollers 43 are provided and are symmetrically installed with the vertical center line of the mounting frame 2 as the center. When moving horizontally, the side roller 43 can squeeze the guard ring toward the middle position of the bearing plate 1 to achieve center positioning.
[0034] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , racks 42 are installed at the rear ends of the two side rollers 43, and the racks 42 are horizontally arranged along the rear side wall of the middle plate 21. The two racks 42 are staggered up and down to form an installation gap between the two racks 42, and tooth grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the two racks 42. At the same time, the clamping assembly 4 also includes a transmission member 41 that meshes with the two racks 42 through the tooth grooves. A gear with teeth can be used as the transmission member 41 to drive the racks 42 to move synchronously in opposite directions to achieve adaptive centering clamping, and the gear meshing transmission method has high transmission accuracy to ensure centering accuracy, and the rotating seat on which the transmission member 41 is rotatably installed can overlap the untoothed side of the rack 42, and can press the rack 42 toward the transmission member 41 to ensure stable meshing and prevent tooth disengagement.
[0035] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The bearing plate 1 includes a bottom plate 11, which is made of a hard material. A cross plate 12 is installed on the top surface of the bottom plate 11. The cross plate 12 is made of a rubber material with a smooth surface to prevent wear on the outer wall of the guard ring. The side walls of the cross plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 vertical mounting frame 2 are designed to be inclined, which can play a guiding role when the guard ring rolls up and down, ensuring that the guard ring rolls smoothly and preventing bumps caused by excessive drop.
[0036] In a further embodiment, the guard ring can also be hoisted and unloaded by a crane, and the hoisting method is more suitable for factories with narrow space.
[0037] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3 An arc groove 121 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the transverse plate 12. When the guard ring is at the top of the transverse plate 12, it can prevent the guard ring from rolling left and right and detaching from the transverse plate 12 when the side rollers 43 move forward to block the guard ring. The middle of the arc groove 121 is concave toward the bottom plate 11, and adopts an arc-shaped surface. The concave curvature of the arc groove 121 can be used to preliminarily center the guard ring, reducing the overall distance that needs to be moved for precise centering in the later stage.
[0038] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 2 A vertical plate 13 is installed at the bottom plate 11 parallel to the vertical side wall of the mounting frame 2. The vertical plate 13 can be limited and guided as the guard ring rolls left and right. The vertical plate 13 is chamfered at one end of the inclined surface to play a front and rear guiding role, ensuring that the guard ring can roll smoothly onto the horizontal plate 12.
[0039] In a further embodiment, referring to Figure 3 A positioning assembly 3 is installed in the middle of the top of the middle plate 21, which is used to press the guard ring up and down. For a guard ring with a smaller dead weight, the guard ring can be stably centered. The positioning assembly 3 includes a connecting frame 32, which is fixedly connected to the middle plate 21 and can move forward and backward with the middle plate 21 without affecting the lifting of the guard ring. A middle roller 31 extending parallel to the side roller 43 is movably installed on the upper part of the connecting frame 32. The middle roller 31 can be parallel to the guard ring along the axial direction of the guard ring to increase the contact area. The middle roller 31 is located directly above the arc groove 121, which can ensure that after centering, the middle roller 31 is directly above the guard ring to ensure that the guard ring will not roll left and right when pressed down. A driving member 33 for moving the middle roller 31 up and down is installed between the middle roller 31 and the middle plate 21. The driving member 33 can drive the middle roller 31 away from the guard ring when loading and unloading the guard ring to ensure smooth unloading of the guard ring.
[0040] In a further embodiment, the driving member 33 may be a vertical telescopic cylinder or a lead screw slide driven by a motor.
[0041] The telescopic cylinder and screw slide involved in the embodiment are existing products produced by Shanghai Yongce Mechanical Equipment Co., Ltd., and its supporting control system, solenoid valve, control switch and circuit pipeline can also be provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the power supply module, circuit and electronic components and control module involved in the utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by the utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and methods.
