Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand core manufacturing technology for integral casting turbine blades, specifically the core skeleton of integral casting turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] The main challenge in manufacturing integral cast turbine runners lies in controlling the blade dimensions. 3D printing of the sand cores for the blades is the primary method for controlling the production of sand cores for integral cast turbine runner blades. Turbine runner blades are key components in water turbines, wind turbines, and other rotating machinery. Their design and performance directly affect the efficiency, stability, and lifespan of the entire equipment. Depending on different application scenarios and technical requirements, the design and manufacturing technologies of turbine runner blades also vary.

[0003] However, 3D printing technology can only control blade sand cores with smaller sand core weights. For sand cores with larger sand core weights, manual molding and production are still required. The design of the sand core skeleton is an important part of meeting the requirements of the integral casting runner production. Reasonable design of the blade sand core skeleton and production of blade sand cores can ensure the production quality of integral casting runners. Utility Model Content

The bottoms of the first reinforcing rib 2, the second reinforcing rib 3 and the third reinforcing rib 4 are fixedly connected by positioning ribs 5. A semi-circular groove is opened on one side of the clamping plate 1 for the first reinforcing rib 2, the second reinforcing rib 3 and the third reinforcing rib 4 to pass through.

Both the first connecting frame 10 and the second connecting frame 11 are V-shaped.

[0022] Working Principle: During use, (firstly, based on the thickness and weight of each part of the core), because the thickness varies across different parts of the core, with the smallest part only 28mm thick and many parts less than 55mm thick, and the sand core itself being relatively large, setting up a reasonable core skeleton improves the precision of sand core manufacturing, reduces the probability of sand core breakage, and significantly improves the dimensional accuracy of the casting wheel, shortening the production cycle. Different types of molding sand are used for molding. First, the core weight is calculated based on the density of each type of sand. Actual production on-site has proven that using this type of core skeleton ensures the core remains stable and does not deform.
