Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shot blasting technology, specifically relating to a device for non-destructive adjustment of the dynamic balance of the shot blasting impeller. Background Technology

[0002] In the mechanical field, surface treatment is a crucial step, affecting the durability, aesthetics, and overall performance of workpieces. Shot blasting, as a surface treatment process, utilizes a high-speed stream of shot to continuously impact the surface of the workpiece being strengthened, causing changes to the target material surface and its outer layer during cyclic deformation.

[0003] Existing shot blasting equipment includes a shot distribution wheel, a directional sleeve, and an impeller. During operation, the shot is introduced into the shot blasting equipment through the shot inlet pipe. As the blades rotate synchronously, the shot distribution wheel accelerates the shot and gives it an initial velocity, ensuring that it can be shot onto the workpiece surface in an orderly and uniform manner. The precise window on the directional sleeve further guides the flight direction of the shot, enabling it to accurately strike specific areas on the workpiece. Finally, the high-speed rotating blades accelerate the shot again, causing it to impact the workpiece surface at extremely high speed, thereby achieving efficient and uniform treatment of the workpiece surface.

[0004] When a shot blasting machine is working, the impeller speed can reach 3000 r / min. This high speed places high demands on the static and dynamic balance of the impeller. If the impeller is not balanced under high-speed rotation, it will cause strong vibrations during processing. This will not only accelerate the wear of parts but also produce harsh noise, thus seriously affecting the production efficiency and quality of the product.

[0005] Currently, traditional methods for adjusting impeller dynamic balancing mainly rely on drilling holes in the impeller body to remove material and achieve balance. Specifically, after using a dynamic balancing instrument to detect the impeller's imbalance, holes are drilled at different locations in the impeller body to remove a certain amount of material, thus adjusting the mass distribution and bringing the impeller to a balanced state.

[0006] However, the drilling method causes irreversible damage to the impeller, which to some extent reduces the rigidity and strength of the impeller body, thereby affecting the life and rigidity of the shot blasting machine. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device for non-destructive adjustment of the dynamic balance of the impeller of a shot blasting machine.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A device for non-destructive adjustment of the dynamic balance of a shot blasting impeller includes a shot distribution wheel, a directional sleeve, and an impeller arranged coaxially from the inside to the outside in a radial direction;

[0010] The impeller includes two parallel rings, and a number of blades are evenly arranged between the two rings along the circumferential direction.

[0011] An even number of fixed struts are evenly arranged along the circumference between the two rings, and the two rings are detachably connected to the fixed struts.

[0012] A copper column is fixedly installed axially inside the fixed support rod, and the central axis of the copper column is offset from the central axis of the fixed support rod.

[0013] Two fixed support rods facing each other along the impeller diameter direction form a set of adjustment units; in each set of adjustment units, the distance between the central axis of the copper column and the central axis of the fixed support rod is the same; in different adjustment units, the distance between the central axis of the copper column and the central axis of the fixed support rod is different.

[0014] Preferably, both the fixed support rod and the copper column are cylindrical structures, and the central axis of the fixed support rod is parallel to the central axis of the ring.

[0015] Preferably, the fixed support rod is provided with an axially penetrating mounting hole for embedding the copper column.

[0016] Preferably, the ring is provided with a plurality of threaded holes that correspond one-to-one with the fixed support rod along the circumferential direction, and the fixed support rod is provided with a connecting hole that passes through the axial direction in the middle.

[0017] After the connecting hole of the fixed support rod is aligned with the corresponding threaded hole on the two axial rings, the mounting bolt is fitted to achieve a detachable connection between the two rings and the fixed support rod.

[0018] Preferably, the weight and dimensions of the copper columns in all fixed struts are the same.

[0019] Preferably, one end of the two rings opposite each other is provided with a number of mounting grooves that correspond one-to-one with the blades along the circumferential direction, and the two mounting grooves on the two rings corresponding to the same blade are symmetrical.

[0020] The blades are inserted into corresponding mounting slots at both ends along the axial direction of the impeller.

[0021] Preferably, the blade has outwardly protruding locking blocks on both sides of the end near the central axis of the impeller, and the mounting groove has a locking groove adapted to the locking blocks at the inner end along the radial direction of the ring.

[0022] In the optimized configuration, the card block has a semi-circular structure, and the central axis of the circle containing the semi-circular structure is parallel to the central axis of the annulus.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] This invention utilizes a fixed support rod with an internal copper column. By rotating the fixed support rod, the position of the copper column is changed to alter the mass distribution of the impeller, thereby adjusting the position of the impeller's center of mass. The structure is simple and easy to adjust. It avoids the impact on impeller rigidity caused by drilling holes in the impeller to adjust the center of mass, without damaging the overall structure of the impeller. This improves the lifespan and rigidity of the shot blasting machine and achieves non-destructive adjustment of the impeller's center of mass. Attached Figure Description

[0042] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the impeller 3 includes two parallel rings 31, and a plurality of blades 32 are evenly arranged between the two rings 31 along the circumferential direction.

[0043] An even number of fixed support rods 4 are evenly arranged along the circumference between the two rings 31, and the two rings 31 and the fixed support rods 4 are detachably connected; specifically, each fixed support rod 4 is located between two adjacent blades 32.

[0044] A copper column 5 is fixedly installed axially inside the fixed support rod 4, and the central axis of the copper column 5 is offset from the central axis of the fixed support rod 4.

[0045] Two fixed support rods 4, positioned opposite each other along the diameter of the impeller 3, form a set of adjustment units. In each adjustment unit, the distance between the central axis of the copper column 5 and the central axis of its corresponding fixed support rod 4 is the same. However, in different adjustment units, the distance between the central axis of the copper column 5 and the central axis of its corresponding fixed support rod 4 varies. That is, as follows... Figure 7 In the middle, the two upper and lower fixed support rods 4 and the two left and right fixed support rods are each a set of adjustment units; in the two upper and lower fixed support rods, the distance between the central axis of the copper column 5 and the central axis of the fixed support rod 4 is the same, which is L1; in the two left and right fixed support rods, the distance between the central axis of the copper column 5 and the central axis of the fixed support rod 4 is the same, which is L2; ​​L1 and L2 are different.

[0046] Preferably, both the fixed support rod 4 and the copper column 5 are cylindrical structures, and the central axis of the fixed support rod 4 is parallel to the central axis of the ring 31.

[0047] Preferably, the fixed support rod 4 is provided with an axially penetrating mounting hole for embedding the copper column 5.

[0048] Preferably, the ring 31 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes that correspond one-to-one with the fixed support rod 4 along the circumferential direction, and the fixed support rod 4 is provided with a connecting hole that passes through along the axial direction in the middle.

[0049] After the connecting hole of the fixed support rod 4 is aligned with the corresponding threaded holes on the two axial rings 31, the mounting bolt 6 is fitted to achieve a detachable connection between the two rings 31 and the fixed support rod 4.

[0050] Preferably, the weight and size of the copper columns 5 in all the fixed support rods 4 are the same.

[0051] Preferably, one end of the two rings 31 opposite to each other is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 311 corresponding to the blades 32 along the circumferential direction, and the two mounting grooves 311 on the two rings 31 corresponding to the same blade 32 are symmetrical.

[0056] Step 1: Place the impeller 3 on the dynamic balancing tester and use the dynamic balancing tester to detect the position and distance of the impeller 3's center of mass from the rotation axis. Then loosen the bolt 6, rotate the fixed support rod 4, and change the mass distribution of the impeller 3 by changing the position of the copper column 5, so that the center of mass of the impeller 3 changes towards the rotation axis. Then tighten the bolt 6.

[0058] Otherwise, proceed to step 1 and perform multiple tests and adjustments until the center of mass of impeller 3 coincides with the center of rotation.

[0059] This application achieves the change of impeller 3's mass distribution by rotating the fixed support rod 4 and changing the position of the copper column 5 inside the fixed support rod 4, thereby adjusting the position of the impeller 3's center of mass. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.
