[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wind turbine impeller processing equipment, and more specifically to a carbon fiber composite material wind turbine impeller curing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber composites are widely used in aerospace, aircraft, and impeller structures due to their lightweight, high strength, designable material properties, and ease of processing and molding. With the decrease in carbon fiber prices and the increase in production volume, carbon fiber composites are gradually entering the civilian market. For example, wind turbine impellers, compressor impellers, and various propeller impellers are increasingly using carbon fiber composites. The curing device for carbon fiber composites is an essential piece of equipment in the production of this type of material. It is an important device that determines the quality and performance of carbon fiber composites. Its production efficiency, the controllability of the curing process, and the cost of composite materials are strongly correlated.

A pressurization or vacuuming pipe is movably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame. The curing chamber is slidably connected to the inside of the curing tank and includes an upper cover and a lower cover hinged thereto. A positioning cavity is formed in the lower cover. This invention solves the problem that existing carbon fiber composite material axial flow fan impeller curing devices lack positioning effect for the impeller and the curing equipment, leading to inconvenience in the curing quality of the impeller and the connection of the pipes.

[0004] In the process of implementing this application, the following problems were found with the technology: In actual use, it was found that by using the elastic telescopic rod to clamp and fix the fan impeller, and placing the fan impeller in the positioning cavity, the staff needs to squeeze the spring in the elastic telescopic rod in advance to put the fan impeller into the positioning cavity, and then release the spring. The staff needs to repeat this method to clamp the fan impeller continuously, thereby reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a carbon fiber composite material fan impeller curing device to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a carbon fiber composite material fan impeller curing device, including a curing tank, a curing chamber, and a top cover rotatably connected to the curing chamber, as well as a connecting component and a pressurizing or vacuuming pipe. A sealing door is provided on one side of the curing tank to seal the curing tank. The curing chamber, the top cover, and the connecting component are all located inside the curing tank. The connecting component connects the curing chamber and the sealing door. Several positioning cavities are arranged in a row at equal intervals inside the curing chamber. Each of the positioning cavities is provided with a clamping component for fixing the impeller. Each of the clamping components is provided with a moving component that drives the clamping components to move horizontally synchronously. The two ends of the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe pass through the top cover and the top of the curing tank, respectively, and slide in cooperation with the top cover and the top of the curing tank. A pushing component is provided on the top of the curing tank. The pushing component is connected to the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe and can drive the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe to move up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes two limiting grooves and two sliding plates. The two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the curing tank. The two sliding plates are respectively set in the two limiting grooves and slide in cooperation with the limiting grooves. The two sliding plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the curing box and fixedly connected to the sealing door.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a spring and a clamping plate. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning cavity, and the other end is fixedly connected to the clamping plate. The clamping plate slides in conjunction with the inner wall of the positioning cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the moving component includes two fixing holes, two fixing rods, a rotating rod, and a limiting rod. The two fixing holes are symmetrically opened on one side of the curing chamber and extend to the front and rear sides of the curing chamber, communicating with several positioning cavities. The two fixing rods are respectively set in the corresponding fixing holes and slide in cooperation with the inner wall of the fixing holes. Several clamping plates are fixedly connected to the two fixing rods. One end of the two fixing rods is located outside the corresponding fixing hole.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the detailed description given here with reference to the accompanying drawings is for better explanation. The structure of the present invention may exceed the limited embodiments described herein. Some equivalent alternatives or common means will not be described in detail here, but they still fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0022] Figures 1-5This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 ~Attached Figure 5 The present invention will be further described below.

[0023] This utility model discloses a carbon fiber composite material fan impeller curing device, including a curing tank 1, a curing chamber 2, and an upper cover 3 rotatably connected to the curing chamber 2. It also includes a connecting component 4 and a pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5. A sealing door 6 is provided on one side of the curing tank 1 to seal the curing tank 1. The curing chamber 2, the upper cover 3, and the connecting component 4 are all located inside the curing tank 1. The connecting component 4 connects the curing chamber 2 and the sealing door 6. Several positioning cavities 7 are arranged in a row at equal intervals inside the curing chamber 2. Each of the several positioning cavities 7 is provided with a clamping component 8 for fixing the impeller. Each of the several clamping components 8 is provided with a moving component 9 that drives the several clamping components 8 to move horizontally synchronously. The two ends of the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 pass through the upper cover 3 and the top of the curing tank 1, respectively, and slide in cooperation with the upper cover 3 and the top of the curing tank 1. A pushing component 10 is provided on the top of the curing tank 1. The pushing component 10 is connected to the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 and drives the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 to move up and down.

[0024] In this implementation scheme, during use, the operator unseals the curing tank 1 by opening the sealing door 6. The operator then pulls the sealing door 6, causing the connecting assembly 4, curing chamber 2, top cover 3, several clamping assemblies 8, and moving assembly 9 to move synchronously, positioning the curing chamber 2 and top cover 3 outside the curing tank 1. The operator rotates and opens the top cover 3, exposing the positioning cavity 7 inside the curing chamber 2. The operator then pulls the moving assembly 9, which in turn pulls several extrusion assemblies and restricts them. The operator then places fan impellers of the same specification into the positioning cavity 7, ensuring they are aligned. The operator then releases the restriction of the extrusion assemblies by the moving assembly 9, using them to clamp and fix the fan impellers in the positioning cavities 7. The operator then reverses the rotation of the top cover 3, which is bolted to the curing chamber 2, and pushes the sealing door 6, moving it towards the curing tank 1. The mechanism moves the connecting component 4, curing chamber 2, top cover 3, moving component 9, and the fan impeller fixed by several clamping components 8 into the curing tank 1. When the sealing door 6 contacts and locks the curing tank 1, the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 is located directly above the hole in the top cover 3. By pushing component 10, the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 is moved downward, passing through the top of the top cover 3 and communicating with the inside of the curing chamber 2, thereby pressurizing or vacuuming the curing chamber 2. When the work is completed and it is necessary to move the curing chamber 2 out of the curing tank 1 through the sealing door 6, the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 is first moved upward by pushing component 10, so that the pressurizing or vacuuming pipe 5 is no longer in contact with the curing chamber 2. At this time, the curing chamber 2 is moved horizontally to the outside of the curing tank 1 through the sealing door 6, and the top cover 3 is opened. The moving component 9 is pulled to move several extrusion components, so that the extrusion components do not clamp and fix the fan impeller. At this time, the operator removes the fan impeller from the positioning chamber 7.

[0025] Specifically, the connecting component 4 includes two limiting grooves 401 and two sliding plates 402. The two limiting grooves 401 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the curing tank 1. The two sliding plates 402 are respectively set in the two limiting grooves 401 and slide in cooperation with the limiting grooves 401. The two sliding plates 402 are fixedly connected to both sides of the curing box 2 and fixedly connected to the sealing door 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the sealing door 6 moves, it drives the two sliding plates 402 to move along the limiting groove 401, and the curing box 2 moves synchronously through the two sliding plates 402.

[0027] Specifically, the clamping assembly 8 includes a spring 801 and a clamping plate 802. One end of the spring 801 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning cavity 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 802. The clamping plate 802 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the positioning cavity 7. The moving assembly 9 includes two fixing holes 901, two fixing rods 902, a rotating rod 903, and a limiting rod 904. The two fixing holes 901 are symmetrically opened on one side of the curing box 2 and extend to the front and rear sides of the curing box 2, communicating with several positioning cavities 7. The two fixing rods 902 are respectively set in the corresponding fixing holes 901 and are slidably engaged with the inner wall of the fixing holes 901. Several clamping plates 802 are fixedly connected to the two fixing rods 902. One end of the two fixing rods 902 is located outside the corresponding fixing holes 901. The rotating rod 903 is set between the two fixing rods 902 located outside the two fixing holes 901 and is rotatably connected to the two fixing rods 902. One end of the limiting rod 904 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 903.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the curing chamber 2 is moved outside the fixed chamber, the operator will open the top cover 3. Initially, the rotating rod 903 is in contact with the curing chamber 2. The operator pulls the rotating rod 903, which drives the two fixed rods 902 to move along the fixed hole 901. The movement of the fixed rods 902 also drives several clamping plates 802 to move synchronously. The clamping plates 802 move and compress the spring 801. At this time, the operator rotates the rotating rod 903, which drives the limiting rod 904 to rotate. The other end of the limiting rod 904 rotates 180° and abuts against the side of the curing chamber 2, thereby keeping the clamping plates 802 in a state of continuous compression of the spring 801. At this time, the staff places the fan impeller in the positioning cavity 7. After the fan impeller is placed, the staff pulls and rotates the rotating rod 903 so that the limiting rod 904 no longer abuts against the curing box 2. At this time, the staff stops pulling the rotating rod 903. Several springs 801 drive the clamping plate 802 to rebound. The movement of the clamping plate 802 drives the two fixed rods 902, the rotating rod 903 and the limiting rod 904 to return to their original positions. The fan impeller is clamped and fixed by the clamping plate 802 and the inner wall of the positioning cavity 7. At this time, the staff closes the top cover 3 and sends the curing box 2 into the curing tank 1. A sealing ring is fixedly sleeved on the fixed rod 902 to seal the fixing hole 901.

[0029] Specifically, the pushing component 10 includes a fixed frame 1001, a cylinder 1002, and a fixed plate 1003. The fixed frame 1001 is fixedly installed on the top of the curing tank 1, the cylinder 1002 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 1001, the output end of the cylinder 1002 passes through the top of the fixed frame 1001 and slides with the fixed frame 1001, and the fixed plate 1003 is fixedly installed on the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5, and the fixed plate 1003 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 1002.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the curing chamber 2 is located inside the curing tank 1, and the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5 is located directly above the hole in the upper cover 3, the cylinder 1002 drives the fixing plate 1003 to move downward. The fixing plate 1003 drives the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5 to move downward, so that the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5 passes through the top of the upper cover 3 and communicates with the inside of the curing chamber 2, which facilitates subsequent pressurization or vacuuming operations on the curing chamber 2. When it is necessary to remove the curing chamber 2 from the curing tank 1, the cylinder 1002 drives the fixing plate 1003 and the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5 to move upward, so that the pressurization or vacuuming pipe 5 no longer contacts the curing chamber 2 and communicates with the curing chamber 2.

[0031] Specifically, a latch 11 that is connected to the curing tank 1 is fixedly installed on the sealed door 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sealing door 6 is connected to the curing tank 1 by the latch 11.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its scope of protection shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
