Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water turbine processing, in particular to a casting mould for a crown of a pumped storage water turbine. Background Art

[0002] The turbine crown is one of the important parts of the turbine. It is usually located on the upper part of the turbine runner and together with the lower ring constitutes the overall structure of the runner. The shape and design of the crown have a significant impact on the performance of the turbine. Its functions include guiding water flow, reducing energy loss, and ensuring the stability and balanced operation of the runner. High-quality crown materials can withstand the impact of high-speed water flow and long-term wear. In different types of turbines, the structure and characteristics of the crown will be different. For example, the crown of a mixed flow turbine is more complex in shape, while the crown of an axial flow turbine has a unique structure. In short, the turbine crown plays a key role in the efficient and stable operation of the turbine.

[0003] Prior art includes an invention patent with publication number CN112264596B, which discloses a pouring device for a thin-walled conical turbine crown casting. The patent adopts a base; a group of rotating drive parts are fixedly connected to the right side of the base; a group of upper mold plates are slidably connected to the upper part of the base; a group of follower bevel gears are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the upper mold plate; a group of upper rotating transmission shafts are rotatably connected to the inside of the upper mold plate; the present invention can realize the rotation of the mold, and the molten steel flows outward under the action of centrifugal force, reducing the accumulation of bubbles on the outer surface, reducing the probability of defects such as pores and pinholes on the surface of the workpiece, ensuring good product quality, simple to use, easy to operate, and solving the problem that the existing casting device is generally a fixed mold, and casting is performed by gravity during use. During casting, bubbles are easily retained on the outer surface of the casting, causing casting defects such as pores and pinholes, affecting product quality, and affecting the service life of the turbine crown.

[0004] In the process of casting the upper crown of the turbine with the help of a casting mold, there is an existing casting device such as the above-mentioned one, which drives the casting mold to rotate by using a screw and other structures as a driving mechanism, aiming to reduce the generation of bubbles in the casting mold. However, a large amount of molten steel will be poured into the casting mold during casting. Once the molten steel fills the mold, the weight of the mold itself will increase significantly, thereby greatly increasing the load on the driving mechanism. When the driving mechanism relies on structures such as meshing teeth for a long time to drive, the meshing teeth are prone to fatigue. During long-term use, this fatigue will cause the meshing teeth to deform, which will cause damage and failure of the equipment and mold, making it impossible to work normally, resulting in stagnation of production in the enterprise. Utility Model Content

A pumped-storage turbine crown casting mold is proposed to solve the problem.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a pumped storage turbine upper crown casting mold, comprising a base, a lower mold and an auxiliary component, the lower mold is installed on the upper surface of the base, the upper surface of the lower mold is installed with an upper mold, and the auxiliary component is arranged on the surface of the base;

[0009] Preferably, there are two support frames, which are disposed symmetrically about the base. The support frames can support and limit the mounting frame, thereby ensuring that the mounting frame can position the servo motor within the designed area.

[0010] Preferably, the number of the reinforcing ribs is two, and the two reinforcing ribs are symmetrically arranged front and back about the support frame. The reinforcing ribs can increase the structural strength of the turning part of the support frame to improve the supporting load of the support frame.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating shaft passes through the side surface of the cam, and the limiting sleeve is sleeved with the surface of the rotating shaft. Through the cooperation between the rotating shaft and the servo motor, the cam can be driven to rotate when the servo motor is powered on.

When the cam rotates away from the connecting arm, the connecting arm loses the pressure applied by the cam, and under the action of the weight of the knocking block, it is guided to rotate by the limit pin and the connecting sleeve. At the same time, the knocking block knocks on the surface of the upper mold under the guidance of the connecting arm, thereby causing the mold to vibrate and vibrate out the gas in the mold. By setting the assisting component, the casting mold can discharge gas by knocking, thereby reducing the problem of mold damage caused by structural fatigue caused by driving with the help of the meshing structure, and further improving the processing effect and stability of the mold.
