Detailed Implementation
[0021] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a handheld milling tool for steam turbine seal plates includes:
[0024] The pneumatic gun body 1 includes a handheld part 1-1 and a drive motor 1-2 disposed on the handheld part 1-1;
[0025] The steam seal toothed end mill 2 is connected to the drive end of the drive motor 1-2. The steam seal toothed end mill 2 is designed with eight teeth, made of W18CrV high-speed tool steel, and solution treated to achieve a hardness of HRC62-65. The cutter head width is designed to be 6mm based on the width of the rotor steam seal plate, and the diameter is designed to be 18mm. The rear end of the steam seal toothed end mill 2 is designed with two cylinders of different sizes: one with a length of 15.5mm and a diameter of 6mm, and the other with a length of 2.5mm and a diameter of 5.5mm. These cylinders are used to fit into the front end slot of the pneumatic gun body 1 to fix the steam seal toothed end mill 2 in place.
[0026] The support assembly is mounted on the pneumatic gun body 1 and includes a clamping part, a pull block 3 located on the clamping part, and a support block 4 detachably mounted on the pull block 3. The pull block 3 and the support block 4 can be matched and replaced with different specifications according to the characteristics of the rotor steam seal plate and the size of the rotor outer circle.
[0027] The pull block 3 is provided with a mounting groove 3-1 for accommodating the steam seal tooth top milling cutter 2 and a connecting end 3-2 located at both ends of the mounting groove 3-1. Two support blocks 4 are respectively located on the two connecting ends 3-2.
[0028] By combining the pneumatic gun body 1 with the support assembly, the milling tool is miniaturized and portable. The detachable structure of the support assembly allows the tool to adapt to the processing needs of gas seal plates of different sizes. Furthermore, the combined structure of the pull block 3 and the support block 4 provides stable support.
[0029] The clamping part includes a half support 5 and a rear cover plate 6. The half support 5 and the rear cover plate 6 form a receiving space to accommodate the pneumatic gun body 1. The half support 5 and the rear cover plate 6 are connected by bolts. The modular design of the clamping part, through the split half support 5 and the rear cover plate 6, significantly improves the tool assembly efficiency. The bolt connection method ensures structural rigidity and facilitates maintenance and repair. The split design allows the tool to adapt to the installation requirements of different models of pneumatic gun bodies, improving versatility.
[0030] The pneumatic gun body 1 is equipped with clamping posts 1-3, and the semi-cylindrical grooves are provided on the half-support 5 and the rear cover plate 6. The clamping posts 1-3 are located within the receiving space formed by the two semi-cylindrical grooves. The cooperation between the semi-cylindrical grooves and the clamping posts 1-3 forms a positioning structure, effectively eliminating vibration displacement during tool operation. The cylindrical surface contact design can automatically compensate for assembly tolerances, ensure the coaxiality of power transmission, and improve the quality of milled surfaces.
[0031] like Figure 3-4As shown, the half support 5 is provided with a moving groove 5-1, the lower end of the pull block 3 is provided with a moving block 3-3, the moving block 3-3 is provided with an adjusting groove 3-4, and the half support 5 is provided with an adjusting screw 9, one end of which is located in the adjusting groove 3-4; the cooperation of the moving groove 5-1 and the adjusting groove 3-4 forms a two-dimensional adjustable mechanism, allowing the operator to accurately adjust the position of the support block 4 through the adjusting screw 9 to meet the processing requirements of different tooth profile parameters.
[0032] The lower part of the half support 5 is provided with a pressure block 7, and the adjustment screw 9 is threadedly engaged with the pressure block 7; the adjustment groove 3-4 is a T-shaped groove, and the upper end of the adjustment screw 9 is a matching T-shaped head; the constraint fit design of the T-shaped groove and the adjustment screw 9 can effectively suppress the loosening of the thread pair caused by high frequency vibration and ensure the stability of the processing parameters.
[0033] The semi-support 5 is provided with a front cover plate 8 on one side, which covers the moving groove 5-1. The protective design of the front cover plate 8 enables the moving groove 5-1 to achieve a dustproof rating of IP54, which is particularly suitable for oily environments at turbine processing or maintenance sites.
[0034] The mounting groove 3-1 has a semi-circular structure, which facilitates the accommodation of the steam seal tooth top milling cutter 2, and the upper end of the steam seal tooth top milling cutter 2 extends beyond the mounting groove 3-1.
[0035] The connecting end 3-2 is provided with a limiting through hole 3-2-1, and the lower end of the support block 4 is provided with a positioning foot 4-1 that matches the limiting through hole 3-2-1; the insertion and cooperation between the positioning foot 4-1 and the limiting through hole 3-2-1 enables quick positioning and installation, which is suitable for the needs of quick switching between multiple working conditions on site.
[0036] The limiting through hole 3-2-1 is threaded on one side with a limiting bolt, which abuts against the surface of the positioning foot 4-1. The upper end of the support block 4 is an arc surface or a flat surface, which facilitates the support block 4 abutting against the surface of the steam seal plate.
[0037] During installation, the above structure is first screwed into the lower pressure block 7 to form the adjustment assembly. Then, the pull block 3 is inserted into the moving slot 5-1 of the half support 5, and the T-shaped head at the upper end of the adjustment screw is placed into the T-shaped slot at the bottom of the pull block 3.
[0038] The front cover plate 8 is fixed to the half support 5 with four hexagon socket head cap screws to block the pull block 3. The lower pressure block 7 is fixed to the half support 5 with two hexagon socket head cap screws. The support block 4 is inserted into the connecting ends 3-2 on the left and right sides of the upper end of the pull block 3 and fixed with two limit bolts. The steam seal toothed end mill 2 is installed into the front end of the pneumatic gun body 1. The height is determined by adjusting the relative position of the positioning feet of the steam seal toothed end mill 2 and the support block 4. Then, the rear cover plate 6 is fixed to the half support 5 with four hexagon socket head cap screws to fix the pneumatic gun body 1. The support block 4 and the pull block 3 can be replaced according to the outer diameter of the rotor and the outer diameter and height of the steam seal plate. When using the equipment, determine the selection of pull block 3 and support block 4 according to the rotor and steam seal plate, and use the positioning feet of the support block to position and support the steam seal plate. Adjust the radial position of the steam seal tooth top milling cutter and the top of the steam seal plate by adjusting the stroke screw 9. Then, hold the lower end of the pneumatic gun by hand and turn on the start switch of the pneumatic gun. The pneumatic gun body 1 drives the steam seal tooth top milling cutter 2 to rotate. With the help of adjusting the stroke screw 9, the remaining material on the top of the steam seal plate is milled. While milling, rotate the rotor until all the steam seal plates are milled in place.
