Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-lift circulating pump manufacturing technology, and in particular to a machining fixture for the spline shaft of a high-lift circulating pump. Background Technology

[0002] Splined shafts play a crucial role in high-lift circulating pumps. The following is a detailed explanation of the function of splined shafts in high-lift circulating pumps: 1) Torque Transmission: The main function of a splined shaft is to transmit torque from one rotating component to another, ensuring their synchronous rotation. In high-lift circulating pumps, the splined shaft, as an input component, is responsible for transmitting power from the motor to the pump's rotating components, such as the impeller, thereby driving the pump's normal operation. 2) Fixing and Positioning: The keyways on the splined shaft match the keyways on the mating components. This design effectively prevents loosening or slippage between components, ensuring accurate alignment. In high-lift circulating pumps, this fixing and positioning function is crucial for maintaining stable pump operation. 3) Compact Structure and Increased Efficiency: The splined structure allows for the design of compact mechanical systems, which is particularly important in high-lift circulating pumps. A compact design not only saves space but also improves the overall efficiency of the pump, enabling it to pump and deliver water more efficiently while providing sufficient pressure.

[0003] Traditional machining fixtures for high-lift circulating pump spline shafts have shortcomings. First, they cannot reliably clamp the pump shaft during machining, resulting in less than ideal spline machining accuracy. Second, they cannot quickly grind the spline grooves after machining. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the traditional machining fixtures for high-lift circulating pump spline shafts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems in traditional technologies and to provide a machining fixture for the spline shaft of a high-lift circulating pump.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A machining fixture for a high-lift circulating pump spline shaft includes a base plate, a slewing bearing, a clamping assembly, a vertical plate, a positioning support shaft, a grinding assembly, and a cutting and grooving assembly. One end of the base plate is fitted with the clamping assembly via the slewing bearing, and the other end is fitted with the positioning support shaft via the vertical plate. A cutting and grooving assembly for forming spline grooves is mounted on the upper side of the base plate, and a grinding assembly for grinding the spline grooves is also mounted on the vertical plate. The clamping assembly includes a vertical base, in which a hydraulic expansion sleeve is movable and restricted. A driven gear ring is fixed to the outer side of the outer end of the hydraulic expansion sleeve. A tilting motor is embedded in the vertical base, and a driving gear that meshes with the driven gear ring is mounted on the output end of the tilting motor.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned machining fixture for the splined shaft of the high-lift circulating pump, the pump shaft to be machined includes a pump shaft body, the outer end of which is provided with a positioning groove, and the pump shaft body is provided with a cylindrical protrusion near the outer end as a spline groove forming part.

[0008] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the splined shaft of the high-lift circulating pump mentioned above, the outer end of the positioning support shaft is provided with a positioning protrusion that mates with the positioning groove.

[0009] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the splined shaft of the high-lift circulating pump described above, the clamping assembly can rotate with the slewing bearing until the axis of the hydraulic expansion sleeve coincides with the axis of the positioning support shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the splined shaft of the high-lift circulating pump, the hydraulic expansion sleeve in the clamping assembly cooperates with the pump shaft body. When the hydraulic expansion sleeve is subjected to pressure from the pressurizing bolt or the external working pump, it can tightly lock the pump shaft inserted therein. When the hydraulic expansion sleeve is released from pressure, the pump shaft can slide freely under the drive of the external manipulator.

[0011] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the spline shaft of the high-lift circulating pump mentioned above, the cutting and grooving assembly consists of a linear guide pair, a lifting push rod, and a rotary cutting tool. The slide rail of the linear guide pair is fixed on the base plate, and the upper side of the slider of the linear guide pair is equipped with a rotary cutting tool that can rotate independently via the lifting push rod.

[0012] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the spline shaft of the high-lift circulating pump mentioned above, the grinding assembly includes a mounting ring, an axial push rod, a guide rod, a support rod, and a grinding ring. The axial push rod is mounted on the vertical plate seat, and the movable end of the axial push rod is fixed with a mounting ring. One side of the mounting ring is fixed with a guide rod that penetrates the vertical plate seat, and the other side of the mounting ring is connected to the grinding ring via several support rods evenly distributed around the positioning support shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, in the machining fixture for the splined shaft of the high-lift circulating pump, the inner wall of the grinding ring is evenly distributed with grinding protrusions along the circumference, and the cross-sectional shape of the grinding protrusions matches the cross-sectional shape of the spline groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model has a reasonable structural design, mainly consisting of a base plate, a slewing bearing, a clamping assembly, a vertical plate, a positioning support shaft, a grinding assembly, and a cutting and grooving assembly. First, a robotic arm inserts the pump shaft into the hydraulic expansion sleeve of the clamping assembly. The slewing bearing drives the clamping assembly to rotate, pushing the pump shaft to abut against the positioning support shaft. The hydraulic expansion sleeve in the clamping assembly holds the pump shaft in place. The cutting and grooving assembly then creates shaped spline grooves on the pump shaft. After each spline groove is processed, a rotation system consisting of a driven gear ring, a rotating motor, and a drive gear rotates the pump shaft by a certain angle, allowing for the processing of the next spline groove. After all spline grooves are processed, the grinding assembly reciprocates to grind the spline grooves, removing burrs. This method meets the processing requirements of high-lift circulating pump spline shafts.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description
