[0002] In existing large centrifugal pumps, the upper part of the volute is formed with a large-diameter annular protrusion as a connecting end face. After the end face is processed, both the outer and inner sides need to be chamfered. After the chamfering is completed, grinding is required to remove burrs.

[0003] The existing processing involves manual grinding, which is inefficient due to the large diameter of the annular protrusion. It is also difficult to control the grinding precision and is cumbersome to operate.

[0004] Since the processing of volute casings is generally done in batches, there are a large number of products of the same specifications that need to be processed, which requires a lot of manual labor. Utility Model Content:

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a centrifugal pump volute end face chamfering device. It is suitable for processing large batches of volutes of the same specification.

It has high grinding efficiency, good effect and high processing accuracy.

[0006] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:

[0007] A chamfering device for the end face of a centrifugal pump volute includes a fixed base plate, a lower support block fixed in the middle of the top surface of the fixed base plate, the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the volute to be processed pressing against the top surface of the lower support block, and an upper pressure plate fixed above the lower support block, the upper pressure plate pressing against the top surface of the middle part of the bottom plate of the volute.

[0009] An adjustment plate is installed on the bottom edge of the horizontal rotating plate. Two grinding motors are fixed on the bottom surface of the adjustment plate. Grinding wheels are fixed at the bottom ends of the output shafts of the two grinding motors. The side walls of the grinding wheels are conical, corresponding to the outer and inner sides of the top surface of the annular connecting protrusion at the top of the volute.

[0010] The lower support block has a groove formed in the middle of its top surface. The lower annular protrusion formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the volute is inserted into the groove and cooperates with it. The bottom surface of the lower annular protrusion presses against the bottom surface of the groove.

[0011] Multiple positioning pins are fixed on the bottom surface of the lower groove.

[0017] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A magnified view of a portion of the image;

[0018] Figure 3 This is a partial top view of the volute. Detailed implementation method:

[0019] For example, see below. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a centrifugal pump volute end face chamfering device includes a fixed base plate 10, a lower support block 20 fixed in the middle of the top surface of the fixed base plate 10, the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the volute 100 to be processed is pressed against the top surface of the lower support block 20, and an upper pressure plate 30 is fixed above the lower support block 20, the upper pressure plate 30 is pressed against the middle top surface of the bottom plate of the volute 100;

[0020] Vertical support plates 11 are fixed to the top surfaces of the fixed base plates 10 on both sides of the volute 100. Vertical lifting mechanisms 40 are fixed to the upper part of the vertical support plates 11. The middle lifting plate 50 is fixed to the lifting blocks 41 of the two vertical lifting mechanisms 40. The middle part of the top surface of the middle lifting plate 50 is movably connected to the main shaft 51 through the bearing. The bottom end of the main shaft 51 is fixed to the horizontal rotating plate 52. The upper outer side wall of the main shaft 51 is fixed to the external gear ring 53. The top surface of the side of the middle lifting plate 50 is fixed to the rotary drive motor 54. The bottom end of the output shaft of the rotary drive motor 54 extends out of the bottom surface of the middle lifting plate 50 and is fixed to the drive gear 55. The drive gear 55 meshes with the external gear ring 53.

[0021] An adjustment plate 56 is installed on the bottom side of the horizontal rotating plate 52. Two grinding motors 57 are fixed on the bottom surface of the adjustment plate 56. Grinding wheels 58 are fixed at the bottom end of the output shafts of the two grinding motors 57. The two grinding wheels 58 have the same structure and their horizontal positions are symmetrical about the central vertical plane between the two grinding wheels 58. The side wall of the grinding wheel 58 is a conical wall, which corresponds to the outer and inner sides of the top surface of the annular connecting protrusion 101 at the top of the volute 100.

[0022] Furthermore, the lower support block 20 has a lower groove formed in the middle of its top surface, and the lower annular protrusion formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the volute 100 is inserted into the lower groove and cooperates with the lower groove, with the bottom surface of the lower annular protrusion pressing against the bottom surface of the lower groove.

[0023] Multiple positioning posts 21 are fixed on the bottom surface of the lower groove. The positioning posts 21 are inserted into the corresponding positioning through holes on the lower annular protrusion, and their outer side walls are in close contact with the inner side walls of the corresponding positioning through holes. The positioning posts 21 prevent the volute 100 from rotating when it is installed on the lower support block 20, thus improving the fixing effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper pressure plate 30 has a vertical through hole in the middle, the screw part of the fixing bolt 31 is inserted into the vertical through hole, and its bottom end extends out of the middle through hole of the bottom plate of the volute 100 and is screwed into the screw hole in the middle of the bottom surface of the lower groove. The top surface of the rotating part of the fixing bolt 31 presses against the top surface of the upper pressure plate 30.

[0025] The vertical lifting mechanism 40 includes connecting plates fixed to the bottom and middle inner sidewalls of the vertical support plate 11. The two ends of the vertical screw 42 are movably connected to the two connecting plates through bearings. A lifting servo motor 43 is fixed on one of the connecting plates. The output shaft of the lifting servo motor 43 is a spline shaft, which is inserted into the spline hole at one end of the vertical screw 42 and drives the vertical screw 42 to rotate. The lifting block 41 is screwed onto the vertical screw 42.

[0026] A vertical guide rail 1 is fixed on the inner wall of the portion of the vertical support plate 11 located between the two connecting plates. A slider 44 is fixed on one side wall of the lifting block 41. The vertical guide rail 1 is inserted into the groove of the corresponding slider 44 and cooperates with the groove.

[0027] Furthermore, an accordion-style telescopic protective cover 2 is fixed between the bottom surface of the lifting block 41 and the side wall of the connecting plate below, and the lower part of the vertical screw 42 is located within the accordion-style telescopic protective cover 2. The accordion-style telescopic protective cover 2 can prevent grinding debris from splashing onto the vertical screw 42 during grinding, ensuring the normal operation of the vertical screw 42.

[0028] The front, left and right sides of the rear of the adjusting plate 56 are each formed with a waist-shaped through groove 561. The screw part of the connecting bolt 562 is inserted into the corresponding waist-shaped through groove 561, and its top end is screwed into the screw hole formed on the bottom side of the horizontal rotating plate 52. The adjusting plate 56 is clamped between the top surface of the rotating part of the corresponding connecting bolt 562 and the bottom surface of the horizontal rotating plate 52.

[0029] It can achieve simultaneous movement of the grinding wheels 58 of the two grinding motors 57 by loosening all the connecting bolts 562, then moving the adjusting plate 56 horizontally to fine-tune its position, and then tightening the connecting bolts 562.

[0030] This embodiment is suitable for processing a large batch of volute housings 100 of the same specification because the distance between the grinding wheels 58 of the two grinding motors 57 is constant and is adapted to the width of the annular connecting protrusion 101 of the volute housing 100 to be processed. Since the side wall of the grinding wheel 58 is a conical wall, when the width of the annular connecting protrusion 101 of the volute housing 100 to be processed is slightly too large or too small, it is only necessary to control the lowering position of the grinding wheel 58 to satisfy the chamfering of the upper part of the outer and inner sides of the annular connecting protrusion 101 of the volute housing 100 to be processed, which is very convenient.

[0031] When the specifications of the volute 100 being processed change, the corresponding adjustment plate 56 needs to be disassembled and the adjustment plate 56 with the corresponding two grinding motors 57 installed is installed to ensure that the distance between the grinding wheels 58 of the two grinding motors 57 matches the width of the annular connecting protrusion 101 of the volute 100 to be processed. At the same time, the lower support block 20 is disassembled and replaced with a lower support block 20 that matches the bottom structure of the volute 100 to be processed. This will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In this embodiment, during processing, the lower part of the volute 100 to be processed is installed into the corresponding lower support block 20, and the upper pressure plate 30 is manually installed so that the pressure plate 30 presses against the top surface of the middle part of the bottom plate of the volute 100. At the same time, the positioning pin 21 is inserted into the corresponding positioning through hole on the lower annular protrusion to position and fix the volute 100. Then, the two grinding motors 57 are operated to rotate the grinding wheel 58, and at the same time, the two lifting servo motors 43 are operated to lower the grinding wheel 58 to connect with the annular connecting protrusion of the volute 100. The outer and inner chamfers of the top of the 101 are contacted and polished to remove burrs. Then, the rotary drive motor 54 runs, causing the horizontal rotating plate 52 to rotate, so that the two polishing wheels 58 polish along the chamfers of the top of the annular connecting protrusion 101, achieving good processing results. Moreover, the lifting and lowering are all achieved by the operation of two lifting servo motors 43, thereby ensuring that the polishing depth and angle of the chamfers of the top of the annular connecting protrusion 101 are basically consistent, ensuring processing accuracy.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely representative examples of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
