[0030] A block structure for crack repair of Francis turbine runner blades, comprising a connecting ring 1, a clamping mechanism 2 being slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting ring 1, and a connecting mechanism 3 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 1;
[0031] The clamping mechanism 2 includes several slide grooves 21, sliders 22, connecting rods 23, limiting rings 24, several rotating grooves 25, several torsion springs 26, several blocking rods 27 and push rods 28. The slide groove 21 is opened at the top of the inner side of the connecting ring 1, the slider 22 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 21, the top of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 22, the limiting ring 24 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting ring 1, the bottom of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting ring 24, the rotating groove 25 is opened on the inner side of the limiting ring 24, the torsion spring 26 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the surface of the blocking rod 27, and the side of the torsion spring 26 away from the blocking rod 27 is respectively rotatably connected to the two sides of the top inside the rotating groove 25 and the two sides of the bottom inside the rotating groove 25, the blocking rod 27 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating groove 25, and the push rod 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 22.
[0032] In the embodiment, the connecting ring 1 can support and limit the clamping mechanism 2 and the connecting mechanism 3, the sliding groove 21 can limit the sliding direction of the sliding block 22, and the sliding block 22 can move along the predetermined path, when the sliding block 22 slides in the sliding groove 21, the connecting rod 23 can move synchronously, and then the limiting ring 24 can slide in the inside of the connecting ring 1, finally the position state of the blocking rod 27 in the rotating groove 25 can be affected, when the sliding block 22 is pushed by the push rod 28, the connecting rod 23 can stably transmit the force to the limiting ring 24, the limiting ring 24 can move in the expected direction and amplitude, the limiting ring 24 provides an installation carrier for the rotating groove 25, so that the rotating groove 25 and the blocking rod 27 and other components installed therein can move in a relatively fixed space, the rotating groove 25 provides a special rotating space for the blocking rod 27, so that the blocking rod 27 can rotate around a specific shaft in the rotating groove 25, when the blocking rod 27 rotates around the rotating groove 25 due to external force during the installation or disassembly of the block structure, the torsional spring 26 will be elastically deformed, once the external force disappears, the torsional spring 26 will quickly pull the blocking rod 27 back to the initial position or restore it to the clamping state, when the user puts the block structure into the inside of the limiting ring 24, the blocking rod 27 can be clamped and fixed by the torsional spring 26, so that the block structure is prevented from shaking, the push rod 28 provides an intuitive and convenient operation interface for the operator, the operator only needs to push the push rod 28 to easily transmit the force to the sliding block 22, and then a series of linkage actions of the clamping mechanism 2 are triggered to adjust the position of the blocking rod 27.
[0033] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The connecting mechanism 3 includes a magnetic ring 31, a fixed ring 32, two micro air pumps 33, a plurality of gas pipes 34 and a plurality of adsorption heads 35, and the top of the magnetic ring 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting ring 24.
[0034] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The fixed ring 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting ring 1, and the micro air pumps 33 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed ring 32 on both sides.
[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 The top of the gas pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed ring 32, the bottom of the gas pipe 34 penetrates through the connecting ring 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption head 35, and the adsorption head 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 1.
[0036] In this embodiment: by setting up a magnetic attraction ring 31 and utilizing the magnetic principle, an adsorption force can be generated on the surface of the runner blade. For runner blades made of ferromagnetic materials, it can be firmly adsorbed on the blade surface. The fixing ring 32 can support and limit the micro air pump 33 and the air pipe 34. The micro air pump 33 transports gas to the adsorption head 35 through the air pipe 34, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the adsorption head 35, thereby generating suction. The air pipe 34 establishes a gas transmission channel between the micro air pump 33 and the adsorption head 35. Through the air pipe 34, the micro air pump 33 can accurately transport the extracted gas to the adsorption head 35, so that a negative pressure environment can be formed inside the adsorption head 35, thereby generating suction. The adsorption head 35 generates suction through the negative pressure environment formed inside. These suction forces work together to enhance the adsorption force of the block structure in the local area on the runner blade.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the blocking rod 27 at the bottom inner side of the rotation groove 25 is set as a long blocking rod 27, and the blocking rod 27 at the top inner side of the rotation groove 25 is set as a short blocking rod 27.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the push rod 28 is fixedly connected to a protective sleeve 4, and the surface of the protective sleeve 4 is engraved with anti-slip lines.
[0039] In this embodiment: by setting the blocking rod 27 at the bottom inner side of the rotating groove 25 to be a long blocking rod 27, the long blocking rod 27 can provide a larger clamping contact area when clamping with the block structure, and by setting the blocking rod 27 at the top inner side of the rotating groove 25 to be a short blocking rod 27, higher flexibility can be achieved when clamping with the block structure. By setting the protective cover 4, the protective cover 4 provides the operator with a better grip feel when pushing the push rod 28. By setting the anti-slip texture, the friction between the hand and the protective cover 4 is increased to prevent the hand from slipping during the pushing process.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the micro air pump 33 , and a side of the sealing ring 5 away from the micro air pump 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 32 .
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption surface of the magnetic ring 31 is engraved with anti-slip lines, and the adsorption surface of the magnetic ring 31 is coated with a waterproof coating.
[0042] In this embodiment: by providing a sealing ring 5, gas is effectively prevented from leaking from the bottom of the micro air pump 33, ensuring the gas sealing of the micro air pump 33 during operation; by providing the adsorption surface of the magnetic ring 31 with anti-slip grooves, the friction between the magnetic ring 31 and the surface of the runner blade can be increased; by providing a waterproof coating, impurities, chemicals, etc. in the water flow are prevented from corroding or damaging the material of the magnetic ring 31, thereby extending the service life of the magnetic ring 31.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption head 35 is made of silicone material, and the bottom of the adsorption head 35 is engraved with anti-slip lines.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the blocking rod 27 is covered with a protective cover 6, and the surface of the protective cover 6 is coated with anti-corrosion paint.
[0045] In this embodiment: by setting the adsorption head 35 to be made of silicone material, the silicone material has good flexibility and sealing properties, and its flexibility enables the adsorption head 35 to adaptively deform according to the shape and concave-convex conditions of the surface of the runner blade. Even if there are some uneven areas on the blade surface, the adsorption head 35 can better fit the blade surface through its own deformation. By setting anti-slip patterns, the friction between the adsorption head 35 and the surface of the runner blade can be increased. By setting the protective cover 6, the blocking rod 27 is prevented from being corroded, the service life of the blocking rod 27 is extended, and the normal operation of the clamping mechanism 2 is ensured. By setting anti-corrosion coating, in the turbine operating environment, water and impurities in the water may cause corrosion to the blocking rod 27, and the protective cover 6 and the anti-corrosion coating on its surface can effectively resist such corrosion.
[0046] Working principle: First, the user places the block structure specially used for repair above the blocking rod 27, and then slowly pushes the block structure downward. During this process, the block structure will prompt the blocking rod 27 to rotate downward around the torsion spring 26, and as the blocking rod 27 rotates, it can form a snap-fit relationship with the block structure, thereby preliminarily fixing the position of the block structure. Then, after the block structure completes the snap-fit operation with the blocking rod 27, the user needs to align the connecting ring 1 with the part of the runner blade surface where there is a crack and needs to be repaired, so that the bottom of the connecting ring 1 can be aligned with the runner. The surface of the runner blade is in smooth contact. After that, the user pushes the push rod 28. After the push rod 28 is subjected to force, it drives the slider 22 connected to it to move to one side of the surface of the runner blade. When the slider 22 moves, the transmission effect of the connecting rod 23 drives the limiting ring 24 to move synchronously on the inner side of the connecting ring 1. During the movement, the limiting ring 24 further drives the blocking rod 27 connected to it and the entire block structure to gradually approach and move toward the surface of the runner blade. When the bottom of the connecting ring 1 is in full contact with the surface of the runner blade, the bottom of the connecting ring 1 is in full contact with the surface of the runner blade. The magnetic ring 31 will quickly and tightly adsorb to the surface of the runner blade by virtue of its own magnetism, achieving a preliminary fixing effect. After the magnetic ring 31 completes the adsorption and fixation, the user turns on the power and starts the two micro air pumps 33. After the micro air pumps 33 start working, they will deliver gas to the adsorption head 35 through the air pipe 34, so that a negative pressure environment is formed inside the adsorption head 35, thereby generating suction, so that the adsorption head 35 can be firmly adsorbed on the surface of the runner blade, further enhancing the connection stability between the entire block structure and the runner blade. After the blade surface is completely fixed, the user can loosen the connecting ring 1. At this time, the user can carry out welding repair work on the cracked parts of the block structure and the surface of the runner blade. Finally, after completing the repair work on the crack, the user first turns off the micro air pump 33 to stop it from working. Then, only a certain external force is needed to smoothly separate the connecting ring 1 from the surface of the runner blade. After completing the separation operation, the user pulls the push rod 28 to make the push rod 28 drive the relevant components to return to the initial position so that the repair device can be used again for repair work later.
[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
