[0025] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the embodiments and drawings.
[0026] Embodiment one:
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a universal clamp for impeller mainly comprises a tool body 1, an impeller positioning pin 2 and a support cantilever 3.
[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the tool body 1 is annular, and a plurality of positioning pin mounting holes 1a are arranged on the tool body 1 in an array along the circumference, each positioning pin mounting hole 1a extending from the outer side wall to the inner side wall of the tool body 1 along the radial direction. At least two support cantilevers 3 are arranged on the outer side wall of the tool body 1 in a uniform distribution along the circumference, each support cantilever 3 extending outward along the radial direction of the tool body 1. In this embodiment, two support cantilevers 3 are arranged on the outer side wall of the tool body 1, and the two support cantilevers 3 are both cuboid structures, and the upper surfaces thereof are located in the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the tool body 1. The tool body 1 and the support cantilevers 3 are integrally formed, which is stable in structure, easy to process and high in strength.
[0029] Each impeller positioning pin 2 includes an installation section 2a and a support section 2b connected to the inner end of the installation section 2a. The installation section 2a of each impeller positioning pin 2 is a cylindrical structure and can be radially moved along the tooling body 1 and inserted into the corresponding positioning pin installation hole 1a. The circumferential sidewall of each support section 2b is provided with a planar structure for supporting the impeller A, preferably a polygonal prism structure. In this embodiment, the impeller positioning pin 2 is integrally formed, with high strength and strong load-bearing capacity. The length of each installation section 2a is greater than the length of the positioning pin installation hole 1a, and each support section 2b is a quadrangular prism structure. When performing a pull-out force test, the upper surface of each support section 2b supports the lower surface of the impeller end cap of the impeller A. The surface contact support method is more stable and reliable, with a larger force-bearing area, avoiding deformation of the impeller A. When performing a torque test, the sidewall of the impeller positioning pin 2 abuts against the outer edge of the blade of the impeller A, which can ensure that the impeller A and the fixture rotate synchronously.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a fixture for testing impeller pull-out force includes a support 4, a pressure device 10, and the aforementioned universal impeller fixture. Each supporting cantilever 3 is supported on the support 4, and the pressure device 10 can apply a downward controllable pressure to the upper end of the impeller shaft of impeller A. In this embodiment, the support 4 includes two opposing support plates 4a, the bottoms of which are fixedly mounted on the pressure device 10. The lower surfaces of the two supporting cantilever 3 are respectively supported on the upper surfaces of the corresponding support plates 4a. The pressure device 10 is a universal testing machine. Impeller A's impeller body and impeller cover are welded together, and the impeller body and impeller shaft are interference fit. Since the pull-out force between the impeller body and impeller shaft (generally tens of kN) is much greater than the pull-out force between the impeller cover and impeller body (generally tens of N), when performing the impeller pull-out force test, a universal testing machine is used to hold the upper end of the impeller shaft of impeller A and apply pressure to read the pressure value when the impeller cover separates from the impeller body.
[0032] Example 3:
[0033] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, an impeller torque testing fixture includes a vise 5, a clamp end cap 6, a torque wrench 7, and the aforementioned universal impeller clamp. The vise 5 is used to support and fix the impeller A. The lower end of the impeller shaft of the impeller A is ground with a rectangular notch. When the vise 5 clamps the lower end of the impeller shaft, it can prevent relative rotation between the impeller shaft and the vise 5.
[0034] The clamp end cover 6 is synchronously rotatably buckled above the tool body 1, and the clamp end cover 6 is an integrally-formed cylindrical structure, which is stable and reliable. Specifically, two mounting through holes 6b are arranged on the clamp end cover 6, and the tool body 1 is provided with mounting blind holes 1b which are upwardly open and correspond to the mounting through holes 6b one by one, and two connecting pins 8 are sequentially passed through the corresponding mounting through holes 6b and mounting blind holes 1b from top to bottom. The connecting pin 8 is a cylindrical structure, which is convenient to process. When the torque test is performed, the connecting pin 8 can make the clamp end cover 6 and the tool body 1 synchronously rotate, which is simple and reliable, and convenient to assemble and disassemble. The clamp end cover 6 is provided with a clamping part 6a in the form of a prism on the top, and the clamping part 6a and the square head of the torque wrench 7 can be connected through the anti-rotation sleeve 9, so that the torque wrench 7 can drive the clamp end cover 6 to synchronously rotate through the anti-rotation sleeve 9. Specifically, the clamping part 6a is a hexagonal prism, one end of the anti-rotation sleeve 9 is provided with an inner hole which is adapted to the square head of the torque wrench 7, and the other end is provided with an inner hole which is adapted to the clamping part 6a. When the impeller torque test is performed, the torque wrench 7 is rotated, and the torque value when the impeller body and the impeller shaft slip can be read.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and those skilled in the art can make various similar expressions under the inspiration of the utility model without violating the purpose and claims of the utility model, and such changes fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
