Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impeller welding technology, specifically a general welding fixture for wind turbine impellers. Background Technology
[0002] The impeller is the core component of a fan. Its main function is to convert the kinetic energy of airflow into pressure energy, thereby realizing the transport of gas. During the impeller processing, several blades need to be welded onto the disc. Traditional fan impeller welding processes have many technical challenges, which limit the improvement of production efficiency and quality.
[0003] Traditional welding fixtures often employ a fixed design, making it difficult to adapt to impellers and blades of different sizes. This necessitates frequent fixture changes or cumbersome adjustments during actual operation, increasing production costs and reducing efficiency. Furthermore, blades require precise positioning and stability during welding to ensure weld quality and impeller balance. However, traditional welding fixtures often lack precise blade positioning and fixing mechanisms, requiring manual assistance for positioning. This makes blades prone to displacement or wobbling during welding, affecting weld quality and impeller balance. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] Please see Figure 1-5In this embodiment of the present invention, a universal welding fixture for wind turbine impellers includes a base 100 and a clamping mechanism 200. A side frame 110 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 100 near its end. A rotating disk 111 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the side frame 110. An extension rod 112 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the rotating disk 111. A connector 113 is fixedly connected to the other end of the extension rod 112. A mounting plate 114 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the side frame 110. A servo motor 120 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 114. The motor shaft of the servo motor 120 passes through the side frame 110 and is connected to the rotating disk 111. The clamping mechanism 200 includes a placement plate 210. A groove 211 is formed on the top surface of the placement plate 210. The bottom surface of the groove 211 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connector 113. A dual-axis motor 212 is fixedly connected inside the groove 211. The two motor shafts of the dual-axis motor 212 are respectively connected to lead screws 2. 13 and lead screw 214, both lead screw 213 and lead screw 214 are screwed to the outer walls of each other with moving blocks 215. The top surfaces of both moving blocks 215 are fixedly connected to arc-shaped clamping blocks 216. The outer walls of both arc-shaped clamping blocks 216 are fixedly connected to pressing modules 217. The outer wall of the placement disc 210 is sleeved and fixedly fitted with a blade fixing unit 220. The blade fixing unit 220 includes a ring 221. The top surface of the ring 221 has an annular groove 2211. A plurality of plug-in blocks 222 are inserted at equal angles within the connector 11. A top plate 223 is fixedly connected to the top surface of each plug-in block 222. An electric telescopic rod 224 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of each top plate 223. A clamping module 225 is fixedly connected to the output end of each electric telescopic rod 224. A servo motor 115 is fixedly connected inside the connector 113. The motor shaft of the servo motor 115 passes through the sidewall of the connector 113 and is connected to the placement plate 210 for transmission. A column 130 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 100. A bracket 131 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 130. The inner arc surface of the bracket 131 contacts the outer wall of the extension rod 112. A plurality of threaded holes 2212 are equally angled on the outer wall of the ring 221. Threaded holes matching the threaded holes 2212 are provided at the insertion positions of the plug-in blocks 222 and the annular groove 2211.
[0042] Specifically, the wheel is first placed on the top surface of the placement plate 210. The threads of lead screw 1 213 and lead screw 214 have opposite directions. The dual-axis motor 212 is started to rotate lead screw 1 213 and lead screw 214, causing the two moving blocks 215 to move closer to each other. This brings the inner arc surfaces of the two symmetrical arc-shaped clamping blocks 216 into contact with the outer wall of the wheel, clamping the wheel. Based on the required number of blades to be welded, an equal number of insertion blocks 222 are inserted into the annular groove 2211 at equal angles, ensuring that the threaded holes 222 on their surfaces correspond to the adjacent threaded holes 2212. The blocks are then fixed by screws. The blades are then placed sequentially at the positions corresponding to the insertion blocks 222. The clamping module 225 is controlled to clamp the blades. The holding module 225 clamps and fixes the blades, and then welding is performed. By starting the servo motor 115, the motor shaft of the servo motor 115 drives the placement disk 210, causing the wheel and blades on the surface of the placement disk 210 to rotate, which facilitates the sequential welding of the blades. By starting the servo motor 120, the motor shaft of the servo motor 120 drives the rotating disk 111, causing the rotating disk 111 to drive the extension rod 112 to rotate. As a result, the connector 113 drives the wheel and blades on the clamping mechanism 200 to rotate. By coordinating the starting of the servo motor 120 and the servo motor 115, free rotation in two mutually perpendicular directions can be achieved, which greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of the welding operation.
[0043] Example 1
[0044] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping module 225 includes an outer shell 2251. The outer side wall of the outer shell 2251 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 224. The inner wall of the outer shell 2251 is symmetrically rotatably connected to two rotating shafts 2252. Gears 2253 are sleeved and fixed on the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 2252, and the two gears 2253 mesh with each other. Connecting rods 2254 are sleeved and fixed on the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 2252. Flexible clamping blocks 2255 are rotatably connected to the other ends of the two connecting rods 2254. A servo motor 2256 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the outer shell 2251. The motor shaft of the servo motor 2256 passes through the top surface of the outer shell 2251 and is connected to one of the rotating shafts 2252 for transmission.
[0045] In this embodiment, after arranging several plug-in blocks 222 at equal angles, the blade is placed on the wheel at the position corresponding to one of the clamping modules 225. The electric telescopic rod 224 is extended or retracted according to the size of the blade, so that the clamping module 225 is close to the edge of the blade. The servo motor 2256 is started, so that the motor shaft of the servo motor 2256 drives the corresponding rotating shaft 2252, thereby causing the gear 2253 located on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2252 to rotate. Another gear 2253 meshes with the gear 2253, so that the two connecting rods 2254 are close to each other until the two symmetrical flexible clamping blocks 2255 contact the two side walls of the blade respectively, so that the blade position is fixed. The above operation is repeated to position the remaining blades in sequence, and then welding is performed.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping module 217 includes a housing 2171. The side wall of the housing 2171 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped clamping block 216. A groove is provided inside the housing 2171. A threaded rod 2172 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A knob 2173 is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 2172 through the top surface of the housing 2171. A connecting block 2174 is screwed onto the outer wall of the housing 2171. A pressure plate 2175 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting block 2174. Both the pressure plate 2175 and the outer surface of the arc-shaped clamping block 216 are covered with rubber.
[0048] In practice, the wheel is placed on the top surface of the placement plate 210 and the dual-axis motor 212 is started to clamp it with two arc-shaped clamping blocks 216. Then, the two knobs 2173 are manually rotated to move the two connecting blocks 2174 downward along the outer wall of the threaded rod 2172 until the bottom surfaces of the two pressure plates 2175 are in contact with and pressed against the surface of the wheel, thereby increasing the stability of the wheel during welding.
