Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding equipment technology, and specifically relates to a steam turbine blade welding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Steam turbine blades may develop problems such as cracks, gaps, dents, or breaks during operation. If these problems are not addressed in time, they can affect the efficiency of the steam turbine and even lead to accidents. Welding repair can avoid the rotor having to be sent back to the factory for maintenance, saving repair time and costs and ensuring the safe operation of the unit.
[0003] Welding equipment is required for the welding and maintenance of turbine blades. This equipment needs to use clamps to hold the blades during welding. Traditional welding clamps have a fixed structure and can hold the blade surface by bolts driving a locking block. However, turbine blades have a certain tilt angle, and traditional clamps cannot fully adapt to this angle, resulting in insufficient stability during clamping and affecting operational accuracy and safety. Furthermore, the distance between the two clamps in traditional clamps is fixed, and since different turbine blades have different lengths, these clamps are not suitable for clamping turbine blades of different sizes, indicating poor applicability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turbine blade welding mechanism, which has the advantages of strong stability and applicability to clamp turbine blades of different sizes.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a turbine blade welding mechanism, including a base, a mechanical arm fixedly connected to the top of the base, a welding head assembled at the end joint of the mechanical arm, a mounting frame provided on the top of the base, a positioning frame symmetrically sleeved on the surface of the mounting frame, a positioning cavity symmetrically arranged inside the positioning frame, an air cushion communicating with the positioning cavity symmetrically arranged inside the positioning frame, an air supply sleeve slidably connected to the top of the positioning cavity, a piston mechanism provided inside the air supply sleeve, a connecting block fixedly connected to the positioning frame, a bidirectional threaded rod threaded between two connecting blocks, and a fixing block symmetrically bolted to the mounting frame and rotatably connected to the bidirectional threaded rod.
[0006] The above technical solution is as follows: This utility model has a clamping cavity installed inside the clamping frame, and an air cushion is connected to the clamping cavity. When the adjusting bolt is rotated, the distance between the two clamping cavities can be shortened, allowing it to clamp onto the surface of the turbine blade. Then, the air cushion is inflated by a piston mechanism, so that the inflated air cushion can adaptively adjust according to the shape and surface contour of the blade, better fit the blade, increase the contact area, and enhance the clamping stability. By installing a bidirectional threaded rod on the mounting frame, when the bidirectional threaded rod is rotated, the distance between the two clamping frames can be adjusted under the action of the connecting block, so that it can be used to clamp turbine blades of different lengths, improving the applicability of the clamp of this welding device.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the piston mechanism includes a piston block, the piston block is disposed inside the air supply sleeve and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air supply sleeve, and the top of the piston block is rotatably connected to an air supply screw threadedly connected to the air supply sleeve.
[0008] The above technical solution is adopted: when the air supply screw is rotated, the piston block can be moved inside the air supply sleeve. When the piston block moves to the bottom of the air supply sleeve, the gas inside the air supply sleeve will enter the air cushion through the clamping cavity to inflate the air cushion.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding block is assembled inside the card holder and at the fitting point with the mounting bracket, and a sliding groove is provided on the mounting bracket to slide in connection with the sliding block.
[0010] The above technical solution is adopted: when the positioning frame moves on the mounting frame, it is subject to sliding limit.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that both ends of the mounting bracket are rotatably connected to support plates via rotating shafts, and the support plates are fixedly connected to the base.
[0012] The above technical solution involves providing a rotating support for the mounting frame.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a servo motor is provided on the top of the base, the servo motor is fixedly connected to the support plate, and the output end of the servo motor is bolted to the rotating shaft of the mounting bracket.
[0014] Using the above technical solution: when the servo motor starts, the mounting frame can be rotated by the rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the support plate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the turbine blade angle.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the top and bottom of the card holder are threadedly connected with adjusting bolts, and the adjusting bolts are rotatably connected to the card cavity.
[0016] The above technical solution facilitates the vertical adjustment of the drive cavity.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the air cushion is made of silicone rubber.
[0018] The above technical solution improves the high-temperature resistance of the air cushion.
[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This utility model has a clamping cavity installed inside the clamping frame, and an air cushion is connected to the clamping cavity. When the adjusting bolt is rotated, the distance between the two clamping cavities can be shortened, so that it is clamped on the surface of the turbine blade. Then, the piston mechanism inflates the air cushion, so that the air cushion can adaptively adjust according to the shape and surface contour of the blade after inflation, better fit the blade, increase the contact area, and enhance the clamping stability.
[0021] 2. This utility model has a bidirectional threaded rod installed on the mounting frame. When the bidirectional threaded rod is rotated, the distance between the two clamping frames can be adjusted under the action of the connecting block, so that it can be used to clamp turbine blades of different lengths, thereby improving the applicability of the clamps of this welding device.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Example 1:

The support plates 15 are fixedly connected to the base 1, providing rotational support for the mounting frame 4. A servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the support plates 15, and its output end is bolted to the rotating shaft of the mounting frame 4. When the servo motor 16 is started, it drives the mounting frame 4 to rotate via the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the support plates 15, thereby adjusting the turbine blade angle.

Adjusting bolts 17 are threadedly connected to the top and bottom of the locking frame 5, and the adjusting bolts 17 are connected to the locking cavities 6. The cavity 6 is rotatably connected, and the adjusting bolt 17 facilitates the vertical adjustment of the cavity 6. The cavity 6 is symmetrically arranged with air cushions 7 communicating with the cavity 6 inside the positioning frame 5. The air cushions 7 are made of silicone rubber, which improves their high temperature resistance. The top of the cavity 6 is connected to an air supply sleeve 8 that is slidably connected to the positioning frame 5. The air supply sleeve 8 is equipped with a piston mechanism 9 inside, which includes a piston block 91. The piston block 91 is located inside the air supply sleeve 8 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air supply sleeve 8. The top of the piston block 91 is rotatably connected to an air supply screw 92 that is threadedly connected to the air supply sleeve 8. By setting the piston block 91 and the air supply screw 92, when the air supply screw 92 is rotated, the piston block 91 can be moved inside the air supply sleeve 8. When the piston block 91 moves to the bottom of the air supply sleeve 8, the gas inside the air supply sleeve 8 will enter the air cushion 7 through the cavity 6 to inflate the air cushion 7.

When the adjusting bolt 17 is rotated, the distance between the two clamping cavities 6 can be shortened, so that it is clamped on the surface of the turbine blade. Then, the piston mechanism 9 inflates the air cushion 7. After the air cushion 7 is inflated, it can adaptively adjust according to the shape and surface contour of the blade, better fit the blade, increase the contact area, and enhance the clamping stability.
