Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to mechanical manufacturing machine tool machining operation technical field, particularly to a rotor cooling fan blade processing adjustable clamping tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] The thermal power generator set is a set that uses coal, oil or combustible gas as fuel to heat water in a boiler, increases the temperature of the water, and then uses steam with certain pressure to push the air turbine to generate electricity. The rotor of the thermal power generator is one of the most important components in the thermal power generator, and its structure, material and manufacturing process determine the performance and service life of the generator. Therefore, when selecting and using the rotor, attention should be paid to its quality and reliability to ensure the normal operation and safe production of the thermal power generator.

[0003] The upper end of the rotor of the thermal power generator is provided with a cooling fan blade. During rotation of the rotor, axial airflow is formed through the action of the cooling fan blade to cool the rotor. The cooling fan blade is made of aluminum alloy, and its structure is shown in Figure 6 The handle is an arc-shaped strip structure, and two assembly holes are arranged on the handle. The blade and the handle are integrally formed, and the handle is provided with a corresponding arc-shaped groove at the handle to embed the rotor shaft neck circumference for circumferential positioning. The fan blade is clamped on the rotor through the clamping hole in the arc-shaped groove. The handle and the blade are integrated, and the handle supports and fixes the blade.

[0004] The conventional clamping method for the arc-shaped groove of the cooling fan blade adopts a special indexing tool, that is, one end of the handle is clamped and pressed, and the other end of the blade is clamped and pressed. The machining center respectively processes the thickness, shape and arc-shaped groove of the handle and the blade clamped on the indexing head, and then the fan blade is clamped and positioned by clamping the blade on both sides and clamping the handle on the jig through bolts. The clamping position during rough machining is processed.

[0005] After two processes, the fan blade is removed for measurement and inspection, and it is found that the arc-shaped groove of the handle will have a local shrinkage phenomenon. The groove width dimension will be reduced beyond the tolerance after shrinkage. Because of the cutting force and heat generated during the final processing of the bottom surface of the handle, local shrinkage of the arc-shaped groove is caused. When the blade is clamped, the blade will be clamped due to the clamping force, and pressure marks will be formed on the blade, causing size errors of the blade.

[0006] For the local size out-of-tolerance part, manual grinding is required to meet the tolerance requirements. However, after the deformation of the handle arc-shaped groove and local grinding, the overall arc degree cannot meet the shape error requirements, and the surface appearance quality is not satisfactory.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] This embodiment provides a method such as Figures 1-4 The adjustable clamping tool for machining rotor cooling fan blades shown includes a base 1, a slider 2, an expansion ring 3, and a bolt 4. The base 1 has a strip-shaped structure, and its top is slidably connected to the bottom of the slider 2. The top of the slider 2 is provided with a truncated cone 5 that mates with the mounting hole 15 of the blade shank 12 of the cooling fan blade 11. The expansion ring 3 is a cylindrical structure with a conical inner surface. The outer surface of the expansion ring 3 is clearance-fitted with the mounting hole 15. At least two downward slits 6 are provided circumferentially on the side wall at the bottom of the expansion ring 3. The conical surface of the expansion ring 3 is interference-fitted with the truncated cone 5. A threaded hole 8 is provided inside the truncated cone 5. The bolt 4 mates with the threaded hole 8 inside the truncated cone 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the structure of the cooling fan blade 11 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it includes a stalk 12 and a blade 13. The stalk 12 is an arc-shaped strip structure with two mounting holes 15. The blade 13 is fixedly connected to the stalk 12. An arc-shaped groove 14 is provided at the connection between the blade 13 and the stalk 12. The stalk 12 is provided with a corresponding arc-shaped groove 14 depending on the type of rotor, so as to be embedded in the circumference of the rotor journal for circumferential positioning. The cooling fan blade 11 is fastened to the rotor through the clamping hole in the arc-shaped groove 14.

[0031] In this embodiment, when machining the outer dimensions of both ends of the cooling fan blade 11 and the arc-shaped groove 14, the cone 5 on the slider 2 is placed into the assembly hole 15 of the cooling fan blade 11, the expansion ring 3 is placed from above the assembly hole 15, and the bolt 4 is screwed into the threaded hole 8 of the cone 5. As the bolt 4 is screwed in, the inner cone hole of the expansion ring 3 fits and presses against the cone 5 on the slider 2. After the expansion ring 3 is expanded, its outer circle applies pressure to the inner wall of the fitting hole of the cooling fan blade 11, that is, a circumferential extrusion force from the inside to the outside is formed to solidify it. The clamping method, which tightens from the inside out, ensures that the workpiece does not deform during the finishing of the arc groove 14 on the handle of the cooling fan blade 11. This effectively guarantees the accuracy of the groove size and curvature of the handle 12 and avoids the formation of indentations or marks on the blade 13 due to clamping the two sides of the blade 13, which would cause dimensional errors in the blade 13. At the same time, it avoids the local shrinkage of the arc groove 14 caused by the final machining of the bottom surface of the handle of the cooling fan blade 11 during the original machining process.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, as... Figure 5 As shown, an upper slit 7 is provided between every two lower slits 6 of the expansion ring 3. The upper slit 7 is provided circumferentially on the side wall at the top of the expansion ring 3. The upper slit 7 and the lower slit 6 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the expansion ring 3. A stop hole is provided at the end of the upper slit 7 and the lower slit 6, and the stop hole communicates with the slit. The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, during the assembly of the cooling fan blade 11, an upper slit 7 is provided between every two lower slits 6. The upper slit 7 is circumferentially located on the side wall of the top of the expansion ring 3. The inner conical hole of the expansion ring 3 fits and presses against the cone 5 on the slider 2. The upper slit 7 and the lower slit 6 deform and expand simultaneously, pushing the diameter of the expansion ring 3 to expand uniformly. The outer circular surface of the expansion ring 3 forms surface contact with the inner wall of the assembly hole 15 of the cooling fan blade 11, resulting in better clamping effect. Furthermore, by setting the center line of the width direction of the stop slit to pass through the center of the stop slit, stress concentration can be prevented, avoiding deformation of the expansion ring 3 body.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is that there are two sliders 2, each slider 2 has a cone 5 on its top, the base 1 has a guide rail 9 on its top, and the bottom of the two sliders 2 are respectively provided with a sliding groove 10, with the guide rail 9 and the sliding groove 10 slidingly engaged; the rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the position of the cone 5 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the two sliders 2, thereby achieving the clamping of the cooling fan blades 11 with different center distances from the assembly holes 15.

[0038] Embodiment 4

[0039] The difference between the present embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in the present embodiment, the height of the frustum 5 after being combined with the ring 3 is lower than the thickness of the position of the curved groove 14 of the blade handle 12 of the cooling fan blade 11, the size of the head of the bolt 4 is smaller than the size of the assembly hole 15 of the blade handle 12, and the rest of the structure is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0040] In the present embodiment, the bolt 4 is a hexagonal bolt 4, and when the adjustable clamping tool for processing the rotor cooling fan blade 11 is used to clamp the cooling fan blade 11, the head of the bolt 4 is located in the stepped hole, and after the bolt 4 is tightened, the surface of the bolt 4 is lower than the top surface of the blade handle 12, effectively avoiding processing interference.
