[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas turbine manufacturing technology, specifically to a gas turbine combustion chamber enhanced hook forming device. Background Technology
[0002] A gas turbine is a rotary power machine that converts the heat energy generated by fuel combustion into mechanical energy. It is widely used in power generation, aviation propulsion, marine power, and petrochemical industries. Existing gas turbine hook products use a right-angled hook design (as shown in Figure 1). Because it operates in a high-temperature environment, the increased contact surface area results in relatively low airflow, leading to localized temperature increases and thus reducing the hook's lifespan.

However, the newly designed reinforced hook with an airflow port has caused many problems in the product processing. During the product processing, the bending is not in place, resulting in low product forming rate and uncontrollable processing consistency. Based on this, this application proposes a gas turbine combustion chamber reinforced hook forming device to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] Referring to Figure 3, a gas turbine combustion chamber enhanced hook forming device includes an upper mold 1, a lower mold 2, a follower mold core 4, a fixed arm 5, and a return spring 6. The upper mold 1 is located above the lower mold 2 and can be installed on a conventional hydraulic machine tool to control the operation of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2. For ease of understanding and description, the vertical direction is taken as an example from Figure 1, and other directions are deduced from this reference. It should be understood that this orientation setting is only for the convenience of description and understanding and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0037] Referring to Figure 8, the bottom of the upper mold 1 is provided with an upper forming groove. The bottom of the upper mold 1 is designed in a "stepped" shape. When the product 3 is extruded, the top horizontal plane of the "stepped" upper mold 1 is located directly above the upper connecting part 41 inside the follower mold core 4, the bottom horizontal plane of the "stepped" upper mold 1 is located directly above the horizontal plane of the lower forming groove inside the follower mold core 4, and the vertical plane of the "stepped" upper mold 1 is located on one side of the vertical plane of the lower forming groove inside the follower mold core 4 (refer to Figures 4 and 8).
[0038] A horizontal arc-shaped groove 11 is provided along the thickness direction of the upper forming groove, which can cooperate with the protrusion 44 on the follower mold core 4 for forming the airflow port bending of the subsequent gas turbine hook. The bottom surface of the upper mold 1 (i.e. the bottom of the "step" shape) is a horizontal surface, which can extrude the product 3 during use for forming the bottom horizontal surface of the product.
[0039] Referring to Figure 6, the top of the lower mold 2 is provided with a lower mold follower groove 21, in which the follower mold core 4 can rotate inside the lower mold follower groove 21. The lower mold follower groove 21 includes an arc-shaped part that can fit the follower mold core 4, and the follower mold core 4 also rotates inside the arc-shaped part. An "L"-shaped forming part is provided on one side of the arc-shaped part, and the upper forming groove of the upper mold 1 cooperates with the forming part here to realize the extrusion forming of the product 3.
[0040] Referring to Figure 7, the follower mold core 4 includes a fan-shaped movable part and an "L"-shaped lower forming groove. The fan-shaped movable part is movably connected to the arc-shaped part of the lower mold follower groove 21. The lower forming groove is located below the upper mold 1 and is used to cooperate with the upper forming groove of the upper mold 1 to process the curved part of the product. The horizontal plane of the "L"-shaped lower forming groove can be on the same plane as the horizontal plane of the lower mold follower groove 21 (as shown in Figure 4).
[0041] Furthermore, a protrusion 44 is horizontally provided along the thickness direction of the lower forming groove. The protrusion 44 is parallel to the groove 11 of the upper mold 1 and the two correspond to each other.
[0042] The top of the fan-shaped movable part is provided with a raised upper connecting part 41. Both ends of the upper connecting part 41 are provided with mounting holes 42 that are connected to the return spring 6. Fixed arm connecting holes 43 are provided at the center of both ends of the fan-shaped movable part.
[0043] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the two ends of the follower mold core 4 are connected to the fixed arm 5. The top end of the fixed arm 5 is connected to the fixed arm connection hole 43 opened at the center of the follower mold core 4 by a pin. The pin does not affect the rotation of the follower mold core 4 in the follower groove 21 of the lower mold. The bottom end of the fixed arm 5 is movably connected to the lower mold 2 by a pin. In summary, the fixed arm 5 only positions the follower mold core 4 and does not affect the rotation of the follower mold core 4.
[0044] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, one end of the return spring 6 is connected to the mounting part 1 connection hole 42 on the follower mold core 4 through mounting part 1 61, and the other end is connected to the lower mold 2 through mounting part 2 62.
[0045] The specific operating principle of this application is as follows:
[0046] The lower mold 2 and the upper mold 1 are fixed on a hydraulic press. The hydraulic press controls the movement of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, placing the product 3 on the lower mold 2. The product 3 and the lower mold 2 move downwards simultaneously. When the bottom horizontal surface of the product 3 contacts the lower forming groove of the follower mold core 4, the follower mold core 4 is controlled by an external drive mechanism (such as a motor) to move clockwise around the follower groove 21 of the lower mold. At this time, the position of the protrusion 44 on the follower mold core 4 changes and is inserted into the groove 11 of the upper mold 1. The product 3 located between the protrusion 44 and the groove 11 comes into contact, causing the product 3 to be bent and formed, which is the state shown in Figure 4. The formed product is shown in Figure 2.
[0047] When product 3 and upper mold 1 move upward, the return spring 6 works simultaneously, and the follower mold core 4 moves counterclockwise in the follower groove 21 of the lower mold. After reaching a certain position, it comes out of product 3, and at this time, one product 3 processing cycle ends.
[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
