AI Technical Summary
In the current low-pressure turbine shaft machining process, the small contact area between the fixture and the turbine shaft results in poor fixation, which can easily cause displacement, especially when rotating to change angles, thus affecting the machining effect.
A tooling fixture is designed, comprising a base, a movable block, a support plate, a first clamping assembly, and a second clamping assembly. The turbine shaft is stably fixed and rotated by a drive assembly and a rotation assembly. The first clamping assembly clamps laterally, and the second clamping assembly clamps longitudinally to prevent displacement.
This achieves stable fixation of the cylindrical turbine shaft, preventing it from shifting during rotation and ensuring machining accuracy and quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of low-pressure turbine shaft processing technology, specifically a tooling fixture for low-pressure turbine shafts. Background Technology
[0002] The turbine guide vane is a crucial structural component designed to meet the requirements of high-performance aero engines. Its structure consists of a bladed flow channel forming the main gas flow path of the turbine. A row of guide vanes and a subsequent row of rotor blades constitute a turbine stage; a multi-stage turbine is composed of multiple turbine stages. High-temperature gas enters the turbine guide vane from the annular combustion chamber outlet. The turbine guide vane compresses and deflects the high-temperature gas, driving the turbine rotor to perform work. The flow capacity of the turbine guide vane directly affects the performance of the aero engine. Controlling and adjusting the gas flow rate of the turbine guide vane is beneficial for increasing engine thrust and temperature margin, playing a key role in controlling aero engine performance.
[0003] The low-pressure turbine shaft housing is cylindrical in shape. Currently, the low-pressure turbine shaft is fixed by a fixture during machining. The existing fixture usually uses clamping blocks on both sides to press and fix the low-pressure turbine shaft. However, since the low-pressure turbine shaft is cylindrical, the actual contact area between the clamping blocks and the low-pressure turbine shaft is small, resulting in poor fixing effect. Especially when the fixture drives the low-pressure turbine shaft to rotate and change the angle for machining, it is easy to cause the low-pressure turbine shaft to shift, affecting the machining effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. It mainly provides a tooling fixture for low-pressure turbine shafts, which solves the technical problem mentioned in the background that the existing clamping blocks have a small contact area with the low-pressure turbine shaft, resulting in poor fixing effect on the low-pressure turbine shaft and easy displacement of the low-pressure turbine shaft when rotating and changing the angle during processing.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] A tooling fixture for a low-pressure turbine shaft includes a base, a movable block on the base, a support plate on the movable block, a first clamping assembly on the support plate for laterally clamping and fixing the turbine shaft, a second clamping assembly on the support plate for vertically clamping and positioning the turbine shaft, a linkage assembly between the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly, a driving assembly on the base for driving the two movable blocks to move relative to each other, and a rotating assembly on the movable block for driving the support plate to rotate.
[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a first motor, which is mounted on the base. A double-ended screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor. The double-ended screw is rotatably connected inside the base, and a movable block is threaded onto both ends of the double-ended screw.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a second motor, which is mounted on the moving block. A rotating rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor and is rotatably connected to the moving block. A support plate is provided at the end of the rotating rod away from the second motor.
[0009] Preferably, the first clamping assembly includes a telescopic sleeve rod, which is disposed on a support plate. A top block is provided at the end of the telescopic sleeve rod away from the support plate, and a spring is sleeved on the telescopic sleeve rod.
[0010] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a limiting block, and the telescopic sleeve is disposed inside the limiting block.
[0011] Preferably, the second clamping assembly includes a lifting rod, which is disposed on a support plate, a support block is disposed on the lifting rod, and a clamping block is disposed on the support block.
[0012] Preferably, the linkage component includes a transmission rod, which is slidably connected to a limiting block. A linkage rod is provided on the transmission rod, and the end of the linkage rod away from the transmission rod is connected to a support block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the drive component drives the moving blocks on both sides to move inward relative to each other, the moving blocks drive the support plate to move inward, the first clamping component set above the support plate will first contact the turbine shaft, and continue to move two moving blocks inward. After the first clamping component is squeezed, the linkage component will drive the second clamping components on both sides to move inward. The second clamping components clamp and fix the turbine shaft on the upper and lower sides. In this way, the first clamping component clamps and fixes it laterally and the second clamping component clamps and fixes it longitudinally. Even if the cylindrical turbine shaft is clamped and fixed, it can be stably fixed, preventing the turbine shaft from shifting during rotation.

[0026] The specific operating procedure of this utility is as follows: Place the turbine shaft above the center of the base 1, start the drive assembly, the drive assembly drives the moving blocks 4 on both sides to move inward relative to each other, the moving blocks 4 on both sides drive the support plate 7 to move inward relative to each other, the support plate 7 on both sides drives the first clamping assembly to contact the protrusion on the turbine shaft housing, the moving blocks 4 continue to move inward, the first clamping assembly presses inward, and through the linkage assembly drives the second clamping assemblies set on both sides to move inward relative to each other. In this way, the first clamping assembly clamps and fixes the turbine shaft laterally, and the second clamping assembly clamps and fixes the turbine shaft longitudinally. When it is necessary to change the angle for machining the turbine shaft, start the rotation assembly, the rotation assembly drives the support plate 7 to rotate, thereby driving the turbine shaft to rotate and switch the surface for machining.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a first motor 2, which is mounted on a base 1. A double-ended screw 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 2.

[0028] Start the first motor 2, which drives the double-headed screw 3 to rotate.

The rotation of the double-headed screw 3 drives the moving blocks 4 on both sides to move inward relative to each other.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 The rotating component includes a second motor 5, which is mounted on the moving block 4. A rotating rod 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 5 and is rotatably connected to the moving block 4.
