[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model embodiment provides an indexing and positioning method for the lower slot of a pumped storage rotor 100, including a base 200 and a driving part 210 and a clamping part disposed on the base 200; the driving part 210 is disposed on the base 200 and includes a drive motor 211 and a rotating shaft 213 that is transmitted to the drive motor 211 via a commutator 212; the clamping part includes a clamping head 241 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 213; the other end of the rotating shaft 213 is also fixedly provided with a position fixing block 231 and an indexing plate 220. The position fixing block 231 is provided with a plurality of fixing grooves 214 at an angle in its circumferential direction; the rotating shaft 213 is also provided with a fixing frame 230 at one end where the fixing block 231 is located, and the fixing frame 230 is provided with a limiting groove 232 whose position is adapted to the fixing groove 214. The rotation of the rotating shaft 213 is restricted by setting a positioning pin 233 in the limiting groove 232 and the fixing groove 214; the indexing plate 220 is provided with scale markings 221 at angular intervals, and the fixing frame 230 is provided with scale lines 234 corresponding to the scale markings 221.

[0031] In use, the pumped storage rotor 100 to be processed is installed on the clamping head 241. The clamping head 241's fastening structure secures the rotor 100, ensuring it does not shift during processing. Simultaneously, the base 200 provides stable support for the entire device, offering a stable foundation for subsequent operations. Observing the scale markings 221 on the indexing plate 220 and the scale lines 234 on the mounting frame 230, the position of the rotating shaft 213 is manually adjusted initially to position the rotor 100 at the starting processing angle. Then, the drive motor 211 is started, and the motor power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 213 via the commutator 212, driving the rotor 100 to rotate. When it is necessary to rotate the rotor 100 to a specific angle to process the lower groove, the target angle is determined according to the scale markings 221 on the indexing plate and the scale lines 234 on the mounting frame. As the target angle approaches, the speed of the drive motor 211 is reduced, or control is applied based on the motor's rotation to more precisely control the rotation of the rotating shaft 213, allowing the rotor 100 to gradually approach the accurate indexing position. Once the rotor 100 reaches the target indexing angle and the scale mark 221 is fully aligned with the scale line 234, the positioning pin 233 is sequentially inserted into the fixing bracket limiting groove 232 and the position fixing block fixing groove 214. The insertion of the positioning pin 233 restricts the rotational freedom of the shaft 213, thereby fixing the rotor 100 at the current indexing position and providing a stable and accurate reference for the machining of the lower slot. After machining one slot, the positioning pin 233 is removed, the drive motor 211 is restarted, and the above steps are repeated to achieve continuous indexing machining of the rotor 100 in the lower slot.

[0032] Further, please see Figure 3It also includes a receiving seat 300 spaced apart from the base 200; the receiving seat 300 includes a detachable base 310 and a rotating seat 320; the rotating seat 320 is provided with a rotation space 321 for accommodating the rotor 100, and the rotation space 321 is coaxial with the clamping head 241.

[0033] The rotary seat 320 also includes at least one pair of rotary bearings 322 disposed in the rotation space 321; the pair of rotary bearings 322 are further provided with bearing bushes 323 for supporting the rotor 100.

[0034] The top of the rotating base 320 is provided with a first limiting hole 324 communicating with the rotation space 321, and the rotation of the bearing 323 can be restricted by providing a first limiting shaft 325 extending from the first limiting hole 324 into the rotation space 321.

[0035] In use, the base 310 is fixed to the working platform. A suitable rotary seat 320 is selected according to the rotor 100 specifications and installed on the base 310. A rotary bearing 322 and a bearing bush 323 are installed in the rotation space 321 of the rotary seat 320. The rotor 100 is then placed on the bearing bush 323, aligning the rotor 100 axis with the centerline of the clamping head 241. One end of the rotor 100 is fixed by the clamping head 241 of the drive unit 210, ensuring a tight connection between the clamping head 241 and the rotor 100 axis. Simultaneously, a first limiting shaft 325 passes through the first limiting hole 324 at the top of the rotary seat 320 and is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove of the bearing bush 323, restricting the rotation of the bearing bush 323 and keeping the rotor 100 stable within the rotary seat 320.

[0036] Start the drive motor 211, which drives the rotating shaft 213 and the clamping head 241 to rotate through the commutator 212. The rotor 100 rotates synchronously with the clamping head 241. During the rotation, observe the correspondence between the scale of the indexing plate 220 and the scale line 234 of the fixing frame 230. When the target angle is reached, insert the positioning pin 233 into the limiting groove 232 of the fixing frame 230 and the fixing groove 214 of the position fixing block 231 to lock the position of the rotating shaft 213. At this time, the unloading operation of the rotor 100 wire slot can be carried out. After completion, pull out the pin 233 and repeat the rotation and positioning steps until all wire slots are unloaded.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the receiving seat 300 and the base 200 is based on a collaborative mechanism of "coaxial positioning - dynamic support - precise limiting". The rotating seat 320 provides support for the rotor 100 through the rotating bearing 322 and the bearing bush 323, allowing the rotor 100 to rotate freely around the axis. At the same time, the high-precision fit of the bearing ensures the axial stability during rotation. The driving part 210 of the base 200 drives the rotor 100 to rotate through the clamping head 241, realizing the indexing rotation of the groove. When positioning is required, the positioning pin 233 engages with the slot of the position fixing block 231 through the fixing bracket 230, locking the rotating shaft 213 at the target angle. With the angle markings of the indexing plate 220 and the scale line 234, precise control of the groove position is achieved. The restriction of the bearing bush 323 by the first limiting shaft 325 essentially constrains the axial degree of freedom of the rotor 100, preventing the rotor 100 from shifting due to the rotation of the bearing bush 323, and ensuring the geometric accuracy of the entire system during rotation and positioning. This structure integrates mechanical support, power transmission and positioning control into one unit. Through the synergistic effect of various components, it achieves efficient and precise execution of the pumped storage rotor 100-line slot operation.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 The spaced arrangement and detachable structure of the receiving seat 300 and the base 200 enable modular assembly and precise positioning of the rotor 100 during the wire slotting operation. The coaxial design of the rotating seat 320 and the clamping head 241 ensures strict axial alignment of the rotor 100 during clamping, preventing wire slotting deviations caused by eccentricity. The detachable base 310 and rotating seat 320 facilitate the replacement of adaptable components for different rotor 100 specifications, improving equipment versatility. The rotating bearing 322 and bearing bush 323 support the weight of the rotor 100 and, through the low-friction rotation characteristics of the bearings, work in conjunction with the drive unit 210 to achieve smooth rotation of the rotor 100. The restriction of the bearing bush 323 by the first limiting shaft 325 prevents axial displacement of the rotor 100 during rotation, further ensuring positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement optimizes the operating space, facilitating wire threading and fixing operations in the wire slotting, improving work efficiency.

[0039] Further, please see Figure 4 An abutment seat 400 is provided at one end of the receiving seat 300 away from the base 200; the abutment seat 400 includes a mounting seat 410 and a rotating cylinder 420 disposed on the top of the mounting seat 410; the rotating cylinder 420 is provided with an abutment shaft 421 that can rotate based on the rotating cylinder 420.

[0040] Furthermore, the abutment shaft 421 is also provided with an abutment pad 423 at one end near the receiving seat 300.

[0041] Furthermore, the abutment shaft 421 is provided with a rotating part 430 fixedly connected to the abutment shaft 421 at one end away from the receiving seat 300.

[0042] Furthermore, the top of the rotating drum 420 is provided with a second limiting hole 424 communicating with the interior of the rotating drum 420, and the rotation of the abutment shaft 421 can be restricted by providing a second limiting shaft 425 extending from the second limiting hole 424 into the interior of the rotating drum 420.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotation space 321 is arranged coaxially with the clamping head 241 and the rotating cylinder 420.

[0044] In use, the base 200 is fixed to the work platform, and the drive unit 210 and the clamping unit are in place; the receiving seat 300 is installed next to the base 200 through the detachable base 310 to ensure that the rotation space 321 and the clamping head 241 are coaxial; the mounting seat 410 of the abutment seat 400 is fixed to the end of the receiving seat 300 away from the base 200, and the abutment shaft 421 in the rotating drum 420 is aligned with the other end of the rotor 100 through the abutment pad 423. The rotating part 430 is exposed for operation. At the same time, the position of the abutment shaft 421 is fixed by the second limiting shaft 425 passing through the second limiting hole 424 to ensure that the center lines of the three are completely coincident.

[0045] One end of the rotor 100 is placed into the rotation space 321 of the receiving seat 300. The bearing 323 supports the rotor 100 through the rotating bearing 322, and the first limiting shaft 325 passes through the first limiting hole 324 to restrict the rotation of the bearing 323. The other end is clamped by the clamping head 241. The drive motor 211 drives the rotating shaft 213 to rotate through the commutator 212 to achieve the positioning of the rotor 100.

[0046] When the rotor 100 rotates, the drive unit 210 drives the rotating shaft 213 to rotate. The scale of the indexing plate 220 is aligned with the scale line 234 of the fixed frame 230 to confirm the angle. The positioning pin 233 is inserted into the fixed groove 214 and the limiting groove 232 to lock the position. The abutment shaft 421 abuts against the other end of the rotor 100 through the abutment pad 423 to provide axial support, avoid axial displacement during rotation, and ensure accurate indexing of the lower slot. The cooperation of the three has the core benefit of improved coaxial positioning accuracy. The coaxial design of the rotation space 321, the clamping head 241 and the rotating drum 420 ensures that the rotor 100 is not eccentric during clamping and rotation, avoiding the position error of the lower slot caused by axial offset. It is especially suitable for the indexing requirements of high-precision pumped storage rotors 100.

[0047] The bearing shell 323 of the receiving seat 300 and the abutment pad 423 of the abutment seat 400 form radial and axial supports at both ends of the rotor 100, reducing vibration and displacement during rotation. Combined with the indexing and locking mechanism of the drive unit 210, the positioning process is more stable and suitable for the operation of heavy rotors 100.

[0048] The base 310 of the receiving seat 300 is detachable, making it easy to adjust the installation position according to different specifications of rotors 100; the abutment shaft 421 of the abutment seat 400 can flexibly adjust the axial pressure through the rotating part 430 to adapt to rotors 100 of different lengths, improving the versatility of the equipment. The working principle of the abutment seat 400 is that the abutment seat 400 supports the rotor 100 through "axial clamping + radial limiting": the abutment pad 423 in the abutment shaft 421 acts directly on the end face of the rotor 100, and the pressure is adjusted by the axial movement of the abutment shaft 421 in the rotating drum 420, ensuring that the rotor 100 will not deviate due to axial force when rotating, and forming a bidirectional fixation with the clamping force of the drive part 210.

[0049] Furthermore, the abutment shaft 421 inside the rotating drum 420 is locked in a rotating state by the second limiting shaft 425 to prevent the rotation of the abutment shaft 421 from interfering with the positioning of the rotor 100. At the same time, the coaxial design of the rotating drum 420, the receiving seat 300, and the base 200 ensures that the abutment shaft 421 always coincides with the axis of the rotor 100, forming a stable radial support point.

[0050] The exposed design of the rotating part 430 facilitates manual or mechanical adjustment of the abutment shaft 421 to adapt to different end face sizes of the rotor 100, while the elastic or rigid material of the abutment pad 423 can buffer the impact force during operation and protect the surface of the rotor 100 from damage.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the 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 or all of the technical features therein.
