Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing and assembly, and more specifically, to a turbine rotor journal grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] Steam turbine rotors are large components, requiring long machining cycles, large cutting volumes, and high precision. Due to the properties of metallic materials, even after heat treatment, the product can still experience slight deformation due to internal stress caused by cutting or gravity. The journal is the part of the rotor with the highest precision requirements, affecting the runout that occurs during rotor operation. Even slight ellipticity of the journal needs to be corrected. If cutting with a tool is used, the cutting force may generate more internal stress, further affecting the roundness of the journal. If the internal stress problem can be solved by grinding, however, grinding is a technical challenge. Currently, grinding is generally only performed when elliptic runout of the journal diameter is present. Because the motor of a conventional grinding machine is obstructed by the turbine rotor impeller or oil baffle, workers can only manually grind the rotor with a file after it has been removed from the lathe. Manual grinding relies heavily on the operator's experience, and the grinding effect is very unstable when the rotor is static. It requires repeated measurement and constant adjustment of the grinding position, resulting in extremely low grinding efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a turbine rotor journal grinding device that can mechanically grind the turbine rotor journal, ensuring grinding accuracy while solving the technical problem of elliptical deformation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a turbine rotor journal grinding device. After the turbine rotor is machined on a turbine lathe, the device can be clamped to mechanically grind the elliptical parts of the journal, solving the problem of slight ellipticity caused by internal stress after cutting, so as to meet the drawing requirements, and the processing efficiency is high.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A turbine rotor journal grinding device includes a transmission arm cover and a gear set disposed within the transmission arm cover. A motor drives a grinding wheel through the gear set, and a cover plate fixes the gear set within the transmission arm cover. The gear set includes a main gear set, several intermediate gear sets, and a transmission gear set. The motor is connected to the main shaft of the main gear set, and the main gear set, intermediate gear sets, and transmission gear sets mesh sequentially.

The first deep groove ball bearing is axially positioned by pressing the first bearing retaining ring with a first screw installed on the transmission arm cover. The first slotted large cylindrical head screw cooperates with the first screw hole to lock the main gear and the main shaft.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the intermediate gear set includes a second deep groove ball bearing, a positioning post, and an intermediate gear. The positioning post is fixed in the intermediate gear mounting hole by a second screw, and the positioning post extends out of the intermediate gear mounting hole. The second deep groove ball bearing is sleeved on the bottom of the positioning post, and the intermediate gear is sleeved on the second deep groove ball bearing. The intermediate gear meshes with the main gear in the adjacent main gear set, and / or the intermediate gear, and / or the transmission gear in the transmission gear set.

[0010] A further technical solution includes a transmission gear set comprising a first angular contact ball bearing, a second bearing retaining ring, a transmission gear, and a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft has a second threaded hole at its top and a third threaded hole at its bottom. A second limiting step is provided at the top of the transmission shaft. The transmission gear is fitted below the second limiting step and fixed to the transmission shaft by a second flat key. The transmission gear meshes with the intermediate gear of an adjacent intermediate gear set. The first angular contact ball bearing is fitted onto the transmission gear and is located between the mounting hole of the transmission gear and the transmission gear set. The first angular contact ball bearing is axially positioned by pressing the second bearing retaining ring with a third screw installed on the transmission arm cover. The second slotted large cylindrical head screw cooperates with the third threaded hole to lock the transmission gear and the transmission shaft. The internal hexagon screw cooperates with the second threaded hole to fix the grinding wheel to the transmission shaft.

[0011] A further technical solution involves providing a rubber sealing ring between the cover plate and the transmission arm housing to further ensure airtightness.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the transmission arm cover is provided with several lifting holes to facilitate lifting the transmission arm cover and installing it on a lathe.
