Description

Center of gravity measurement device

The present invention relates to a center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus that measures the center-of-gravity position of a measurement object with high accuracy.

Conventionally, in various technical fields, a technique for measuring the position of the center of gravity of a measurement object with high accuracy has been required. In particular, in the technical field of turbines such as steam turbines, gas turbines, and hydro turbines, when mounting rotor blades or compression rotor blades mounted on the outer periphery of the rotor of the turbine, the rotor unbalance after mounting is reduced. Therefore, before installing the wing, the position of the center of gravity of the wing is measured with high accuracy by a single wing, and the moment weight associated therewith is calculated to determine the order of wing installation.

As shown in FIG. 10, such a conventional moment weight measuring device supports the top of the turbine blade W on the electronic balance 201 for measuring the weight of the top of the blade with a holder 203 with a roller 202 as shown in FIG. However, the blade root portion is supported by a support 206 with a pin 205 on an electronic balance 204 for blade root portion weight measurement.
Thus, the blade top weight and blade root weight of the turbine blade W are measured, and these are input to a personal computer (not shown), and the center of gravity position of the turbine blade W is calculated from the distance between the roller 202 and the pin 205 previously input by the personal computer. Is measured, and based on this, the moment weight can be calculated.

However, in the configuration in which the blade root portion of the turbine blade W is supported by the support 206 with the pin 205 in this way, a force other than the vertical direction acts on the contact portion between the pin 205 and the turbine blade W to cause a rise. Since the moment due to friction acts and it becomes difficult to hold the turbine blade W horizontally, the measured value varies greatly depending on how the turbine blade W is placed on the holder 206 with the pin 205, and the true center of gravity of the turbine blade W is obtained. There was a problem that the position was not measured.

On the other hand, with respect to the above-mentioned problems, a pair of receivers that support the measurement object with a rotating body instead of a pin with the center of gravity of the measurement object sandwiched in the longitudinal direction of the measurement object, It has also been proposed that a tool is provided on a slide base and is movable with respect to the other receiving tool (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to this, a to-be-measured body can be hold | maintained horizontally without a ridge, and stable measurement can be achieved, and a flexible response to various to-be-measured bodies having different sizes can be achieved.

JP 2001-50846 A

However, in Patent Document 1, since the receiving device directly supports the object to be measured as in the conventional case, it is difficult to suppress the occurrence of measurement errors and installation errors due to the shape of the object to be measured. It was. In addition, the movement of the receptacles causes an error due to the distance between the receptacles being movable, and it is difficult to accurately align the receptacles.

The present invention has been made paying attention to such conventional problems, and can improve the measurement accuracy, reduce the number of jigs, and further ensure the labor reduction of the operator. An object of the present invention is to provide a highly-durable center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus with high work efficiency.

In order to achieve the above object, a center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention includes a jig that supports the entire object to be measured, and a moving base that supports the jig, and a fixed base on which a fixed receiver is arranged. The weight of the object to be measured through the jig is measured by the moving receiver and the fixed receiver, thereby measuring the position of the center of gravity of the object to be measured, and the moving receiver in the horizontal direction. It is provided so that it can be moved and positioned, and the fixed receiver is fixed in the horizontal direction.

With this configuration, the entire object to be measured is firmly supported by the jig, while the moving receiver and the fixed receiver provided on the fixed base measure the object to be measured via the jig. Highly accurate measurement can be obtained without depending on the shape of the body. Moreover, since the distance between the moving receiver and the fixed receiver can be changed by moving the moving receiver in the horizontal direction, one jig should be used for measuring various sizes of measured objects. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a separate jig according to the size of the measurement object, and the number of jigs is reduced.

In the present invention, the “horizontal direction” means a direction parallel to a horizontal plane that is a plane perpendicular to the direction in which gravity works, and of course, physically “strict horizontal direction” as well as technology. It is a concept including “substantially horizontal direction” seen in “horizontal direction” from the viewpoint of common sense. In addition, unless otherwise specified, a weight measuring device such as an electronic scale is a part of the structure of the receiver, and the receiver is a part of the structure of the fixed base. The fixing base may be in any form as long as it supports the jig. For example, a desk or a floor can be a fixing base of the present invention.

In the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention, the movement receiver and the jig are in point contact, and the contact portion of either the movement receiver or the jig is a flat surface. Features.

With this configuration, the position of the moving receiver is a point contact portion that has almost no spread, so that the distance between the moving receiver and the fixed receiver that is the reference for measurement can be measured with little error, and the horizontal plane direction Since the frictional force generated in can be uniformly suppressed in any direction, the measurement accuracy can be increased.
In the present invention, the term “plane” is a concept that includes not only a “strict plane” physically but also a “substantially plane” that can be seen as a “plane” from the viewpoint of technical common sense.

Further, the “point” of the point contact of the present invention includes not only a geometric “point” having no area but also a “surface” having an area as a deformation of the contact portion due to the pressure of the load.
That is, the point contact of the present invention includes a circular contact surface.

Moreover, the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that the plane is a contact portion of the moving receptacle.
With this configuration, the positional relationship between the movable receiving fixture and the stationary receptacle can be obtained based on the positional relationship between the point contact portion provided on the non-movable jig side and the stationary receptacle. In other words, since the placement error of the moving receiver, which is a movable part, is not reflected during measurement, more accurate measurement can be realized.
In addition, by providing a support member that fixes and supports the horizontal direction of the measurement object on the fixed receiver side of the jig, more accurate measurement can be realized. In other words, by pressing the measured object against the support member in the horizontal direction, the measured object and the fixed receiver can be integrated, and positioning based on the fixed receiver becomes possible. Since both the parts are provided in the same jig, there is room for errors in the arrangement and measurement of the measured object in the distance between the measured object integrated with the fixed receiver and the point contact part. Almost all of them are eliminated, and these make it possible to measure with higher accuracy.
In particular, with respect to the support member, it is desirable that the support member be provided with a surface perpendicular to the horizontal direction of the measured object so that the stationary receiver side end in the horizontal direction of the measured object can be fixedly supported. As a result, in addition to being able to perform high-precision measurement as described above, it is possible to efficiently perform positioning work at the same reference position for various shapes of measured objects. Become.

In the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention, the jig includes a plurality of support points, and an arbitrary support point is selected from the plurality of support points and is brought into point contact with the movement receiver. It is characterized by enabling measurement according to the measuring body.
With this configuration, for each of a plurality of support points provided in the jig, it is possible to measure by changing the distance between the moving receiver and the fixed receiver without reflecting the placement error of the moving receiver that is a movable part. High-precision measurement can be realized according to the measurement object of various sizes.

In the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention, the fixed receiver has a rotation shaft that rotates a jig with respect to a fixed base, and the rotation shaft has the same height as the plane. And
Here, the “same height” is a concept that includes “substantially the same height” as well as “substantially the same height” as seen from the technical common sense.
With this configuration, it is possible to accurately distribute the weight applied to each receiver, and since the jig can be rotated by the rotation shaft, the operability when moving the movable receiver is improved and the position is accurate. Matching is possible.

Moreover, the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that the jig can be removed from the fixed base.
With this configuration, even if it is difficult to support the measurement object on the jig when the jig is placed on the fixed base, the measurement object can be securely attached to the jig by removing the jig from the fixed base. And can be fixedly supported. Further, not only one jig but also a plurality of jigs can be used.

Moreover, the center-of-gravity position measuring device according to the present invention includes an impact absorbing device.
With this configuration, it is possible to relieve the impact when supporting the measurement object on the jig and when installing the jig on the fixed base, and to reduce the malfunction of the device and the malfunction during measurement.

The center-of-gravity position measuring device according to the present invention is characterized in that the impact absorbing device can be adjusted in the vertical direction.
With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the impact when supporting the object to be measured on the jig and when installing the jig on the fixed base, and to reduce malfunctions and malfunctions during measurement. .

The center-of-gravity position measuring device according to the present invention is characterized in that the jig is made of geralumin.
This configuration reduces the weight of the jig so that it can be easily operated and can be constructed robustly.

In the center-of-gravity position measuring apparatus according to the present invention, the object to be measured is a moving blade mounted on the outer periphery of a rotor of a turbine such as a steam turbine, a gas turbine, or a hydraulic turbine.
With this configuration, it is possible to efficiently measure the position of the center of gravity of the moving blade mounted on the outer periphery of the rotor of the turbine with high accuracy.

According to the present invention, the measurement accuracy can be improved and the number of jigs can be reduced, and further, the center of gravity position measuring apparatus with high work efficiency and high durability can be realized while ensuring the labor reduction of the worker. it can.

It is a side view which shows the gravity center position measuring apparatus in FIG. It is a principle figure of a gravity center position calculation. It is a principle diagram of moment balance measurement. It is explanatory drawing (front view) which shows the conventional gravity center position measuring apparatus.

Hereinafter, the gravity center position measuring apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The principle of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, for convenience of explanation, the measurement object W is not shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, but the measurement object W may have various shapes. In FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 showing the embodiment and the above-described explanatory diagrams and principle diagrams, the same reference numerals mean the same members.

As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement target W is fixedly supported by the jig 2 as a whole. The jig 2 is supported by the fixed receiver 4 and the movable receiver 3 installed on the fixed base 1. Here, it is preferable that the jig 2 is integrally configured as one member because the measurement accuracy becomes high.

Both the fixed receiver 4 and the movable receiver 3 are arranged at an interval, and the distance between the two changes as the movable receiver 3 moves in the horizontal direction. The contact portion between the jig receiving portion (jig side) 4d of the fixed receiver 4 and the jig 2 is firmly fixed, and is configured so that they do not move in the horizontal direction. The horizontal position of the fixed receiver 4 with respect to the actual moving receiver 3 is based on the center line of the contact portion with the jig 2 (see FIG. 8) and the rotating shaft 4c (see FIG. 1). It is desirable. The specific structure here may be any structure as long as both do not move in the horizontal direction. For example, the convex portion 10 may be provided in the contact portion of the jig receiving portion (jig side) 4d, the concave portion 9 may be provided in the contact portion of the jig 2, and the convex portion 10 and the concave portion 9 may be coupled ( In particular, see FIG.

Thus, the jig 2 and the jig receiving portion (jig side) 4d are fixedly installed in the horizontal direction, while the side surface of the supporting point receiving portion 3a of the moving receiver 3 is flat. And is in point contact with the tip 5a of the support point 5 installed on the jig 2 and is variable in the horizontal direction. The tip portion 5a may have any structure as long as it makes point contact with the plane. For example, at the time of point contact, the tip portion 5a is fitted with a sphere that rotates as the support point receiving portion 3a moves. A part of the sphere may be in point contact with the plane.

The jig 2 is provided with a plurality of support points 5 with high precision in the positional relationship with the fixed receiver 4, and the movable receiver 3 is moved in the horizontal direction so that the tip of any support point 5 can be moved. It is possible to make point contact with 5a. By doing so, even with one jig, measurement according to a plurality of measured objects W can be performed. The movable receiver 3 and the fixed receiver 4 are provided with weight measuring

electronic balances

3b and 4b, respectively, and the weight of the object to be measured W is measured by the

electronic balances

3b and 4b via the jig 2. The The measured values of the

electronic balances

3b and 4b are displayed on a weight display (not shown) and input to a personal computer (not shown).

[Operation] With this configuration, when measuring the position of the center of gravity of the measurement object W, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the jig is removed from the fixed base 1 and the measurement object W is fixed to the jig. The vertical direction is fixedly supported by the support member 7 and the support member 8 provided in 2 and the horizontal direction is fixedly supported by pressing the measurement object W against the side surface of the convex portion of the support member 7. Here, the

support members

7 and 8 may be configured integrally with a jig in order to perform high-precision measurement, or only one of them according to the object to be measured in order to improve usability, or , Each may move in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

Next, when the object to be measured W is firmly fixed and supported at a fixed position of the jig 2, the movement receiving tool 3 is moved to a predetermined position according to the size, shape, etc. of the object to be measured W, and an impact is given to the fixing base 1. The expansion / contraction part 6 a of the shock absorber 6 is moved upward so that the jig 2 is temporarily installed on the fixed base 1 by the shock absorber 6. Then, the jig | tool 2 is completely fixed to the fixed stand 1 by moving the expansion-contraction part 6a of the impact-absorbing device 6 downward so that the jig | tool 2 is supported only by the movement receptacle 3 and the fixed receptacle 4. FIG. Once installed, the

electronic balances

3b and 4b measure the weight of the measuring object W on the side of the moving receiver 3 and the weight of the fixed receiver 4 via the jig 2, and the measured values are input to a personal computer (not shown). And both are displayed.

Actually, the weight to be measured includes the weight of the jig and the holder. However, the weight of the jig and the holder is measured in advance and stored in the memory of the personal computer. By subtracting from each measured value, an accurate weight can be calculated and displayed. Note that it is desirable to use a conventionally known method for calculating a specific center of gravity position of the measurement object W from these values.

As described above, the entire object to be measured W is firmly supported by the integrally configured jig 2, while the moving receiver 3 and the fixed receiver 4 provided on the fixed base 1 are provided with the jig 2. Since the measurement object W is measured via the, measurement with high accuracy can be obtained without depending on the shape of the measurement object W. Moreover, since the distance between the movement receptacle 3 and the fixed receptacle 4 can be changed by moving the movement receptacle 3 in the horizontal direction, one jig 2 can be used for the objects W to be measured of various sizes. It can be used for measurement, and it is not necessary to prepare a separate jig 2 according to the size of the measurement object W, thereby reducing the number of jigs.

When measuring the measurement target W, if the size of the measurement target W is not suitable, the jig 2 is rotated around the rotation axis 4c of the fixed receiver 4 as shown in FIG. Since the movement receiver 3 can be moved in the horizontal direction by moving the movement receiver 3 side upward, the movement receiver 3 moves to the position of the support point 5 appropriate for the size of the measurement object W and the like. The support 3 is moved in the horizontal direction. Thereafter, the jig 2 may be returned to the original position for measurement.

Here, the tip portion 5a of the support point 5 makes point contact with an arbitrary position of the jig side plane portion of the support point receiving portion 3a of the movement receiving tool 3, but the position may be the plane portion. Any location is acceptable. That is, the value measured by the electronic balance 3b is the same whether it is the center or the end of the plane portion. This means that the installation error accompanying the movement of the movement receiver 3 does not affect the measurement of the measurement object.

As a result, the true center of gravity position of the measurement object W is measured by a personal computer (not shown), and in particular, when a moving blade or a compressed moving blade mounted on the rotor outer periphery of the turbine is mounted on the rotor outer periphery, this is used. The moment weight is calculated.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the measured weight A on the moving receiver 3 side and weight B on the fixed receiver 4 side, and the distance between the moving receiver 3 and the fixed receiver 4 measured in advance as a reference. The center-of-gravity position L1 of the measurement object W can be measured from L2 (actually, the distance between the distal end portion 5a of the support point 5 installed on the jig 2 and the fixed support 4). (In actuality, the weight to be measured includes the weight of the jig and the receiver. However, the weight of the jig and the receiver is measured in advance and stored in the memory of the personal computer. The accurate weights A and B can be calculated by subtracting from each measured value.) For example, the center of gravity position L1 can be obtained as L1 = L2 × B / (A + B) + Ld. Here, Ld is a horizontal distance from the fixed receiver 4 to the end of the measurement object positioned by the support member 7 (on the fixed receiver 4 side).

In particular, when a moving blade or a compressed moving blade mounted on the rotor outer periphery of the turbine is mounted on the rotor outer periphery, the radius R of the rotor on which the turbine blade that is the measurement target W is mounted is added to the gravity center position L1. The moment weight is calculated from the value and the weight A and the weight B, and based on this, the wing implantation optimum balance in the rotor can be obtained by arranging as shown in FIG.

According to the present invention, the measurement accuracy can be improved and the number of jigs can be reduced. Further, while ensuring labor reduction of the worker, it is possible to realize a highly-efficient and highly durable center-of-gravity position measuring device. Center of gravity measurement device for measuring object, etc. used to measure the center of gravity of a measured object such as a moving blade or compression blade attached to the outer periphery of a turbine rotor that has an effect and requires particularly high measurement accuracy Useful for.
