Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of turbine blade technology, and more specifically, it relates to a welding equipment for turbine blade processing. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, steam turbines, also known as steam turbine engines, are rotary steam power units. High-temperature, high-pressure steam passes through fixed nozzles, becomes an accelerated airflow, and is then injected onto the blades, causing the rotor equipped with rows of blades to rotate and perform work. A steam turbine is an external combustion rotary machine that converts the thermal energy of steam into mechanical work. Blades are key components of a steam turbine, and one of the most delicate and important components. They withstand the combined effects of high temperature, high pressure, enormous centrifugal force, steam force, steam excitation force, corrosion and vibration, and water droplet erosion in the wet steam zone under extremely harsh conditions. Their aerodynamic performance, machining geometry, surface roughness, installation clearance, operating conditions, and scaling all affect the efficiency and output of the steam turbine, while its structural design, vibration intensity, and operating mode have a decisive impact on the safety and reliability of the unit.
[0003] Existing welding equipment has the following problems when welding turbine blades:
[0004] Inconvenient clamping: Traditional clamping methods often require manual operation, which is not only inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee clamping accuracy. This can easily lead to positional deviations of the blades during the welding process, affecting the welding quality.
[0005] Unable to rotate and change sides during welding: Steam turbine blades have complex shapes, and some parts require welding from different angles to ensure the integrity and quality of the weld. Most existing welding equipment can only weld in one fixed direction. For blades that need to be welded at multiple angles, the blade position often needs to be manually readjusted, which is cumbersome, prone to positioning errors, and not flexible enough.
[0006] Poor dust extraction: Welding process generates a lot of fumes, which not only harm the health of operators, but may also adhere to the welding area and affect the welding quality. Utility Model Content
