Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of split-key disassembly, and in particular to a tooling for disassembling the split-key of the guide vane crank arm of a small-to-medium-sized mixed-flow turbine unit. Background Technology

[0002] In the disassembly of the guide vane crank arm split key (hereinafter referred to as the split key) of small and medium-sized mixed-flow turbine units, the traditional method relies on welding T-shaped steel to the split key. A jack is placed on each side below the T-shaped steel, and the split key is pulled out by pressing down on the jacks. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires two people to work together, making it difficult to ensure even force application. This leads to the T-shaped steel and the split key being prone to breakage at the weld, requiring repeated welding. This increases the operational difficulty and the risk of failure.

[0003] In addition, the waterwheel room is relatively narrow and poorly ventilated, and the welding fumes pose a significant safety hazard to personnel. Therefore, the traditional method of disassembling the split key has significant shortcomings in terms of operational complexity, safety, and efficiency, and these problems need to be solved by improving the tooling design and operating procedures.

The rotating inner cylinder 3 is threadedly connected to the fixed outer cylinder 207.

[0033] The rotating inner cylinder 3 has a through hole 303 at its center, and a threaded rod 5 is coaxially arranged inside the through hole 303. A detachable limiting pin 8 is also provided between the clamping seat 1 and the support frame 2.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the clamping seat 1 includes a flat plate 101, a vertical plate 102 perpendicular to the flat plate 101 on one side, and a positioning plate 103 on the top side of the vertical plate 102. The positioning plate 103 is used to be placed on the edge of the crank arm 6.

[0035] The plate 101 is also provided with a plurality of first elongated holes 104, which are used to connect the support frame 2.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the support frame 2 includes a lifting plate 201, which has a plurality of second elongated holes 202. A tension bolt 203 is provided in the second elongated holes 202, and the tension bolt 203 passes through the lifting plate 201 and is threadedly connected to the clamping seat 1.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, limiting plates 205 are provided on both sides of the second elongated hole 202, and the limiting plates 205 are arranged below the lifting plate 201.

[0038] The positions of the limiting plate 205 and the first elongated hole 104 correspond one-to-one.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment, the top of the limiting plate 205 is provided with a connecting bolt 204 that is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 201, and multiple evenly distributed slots 206 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the limiting plate 205. The slots 206 are used to install the limiting pins 8.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment, the limiting plates 205 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed outer cylinder 207.

[0041] In the preferred embodiment, the top two sides of the rotating inner cylinder 3 are provided with connecting seats 301, the connecting seats 301 are provided with connecting holes 302, and the connecting holes 302 are provided with detachable handrails 4, which facilitate the operator to rotate the rotating inner cylinder 3.

[0042] In the preferred embodiment, the top of the rotating inner cylinder 3 is also provided with a rotating groove 304, and a rotating disk 305 is provided in the rotating groove 304. The center of the rotating disk 305 is provided with a through hole arranged coaxially with the through hole 303.

[0043] The rotating disk 305 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 304.

[0044] In the preferred embodiment, the diameters of the through hole 303 and the through hole are greater than the maximum outer diameter of the threaded rod 5.

[0045] In the preferred embodiment, the threaded rod 5 is also provided with a lifting plate 501, which is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 5, and the lifting plate 501 is in contact with the rotating disk 305;

The tension bolt 203 passes through the second long hole 202 of the lifting plate 201 and is threadedly connected to the first long hole 104 of the clamping seat 1 to fix the fixture. Then, the threaded rod 5 is connected to the traction hole 701 on the split key 7.

[0048] Next, the operator holds the handle 4 and rotates the inner cylinder 3. Since the inner cylinder 3 is threadedly connected to the outer cylinder 207, it will move upward when rotated, and then pull up the split key 7 through the threaded rod 5. When the split key 7 is pulled to the maximum limit, the lifting plate 501 is rotated upward to disengage it from the rotating disk 305, leaving room for the overall height of the tooling to be raised.

[0049] Then, lift the limit plate 205 and insert the limit pin 8 into the slot 206 to increase the overall height. Continue to rotate the inner cylinder 3 and pull out the split key 7 a second time. Repeat this operation until the split key 7 is completely pulled out. The whole process is simple to operate, does not require welding in a narrow space, and can stably and efficiently complete the disassembly of the split key.
