Analysis of geometric parameters and technical requirements for pin conical joints in pump nodes

The article analyzes the causes of the situation with the appearance of manufacturing errors and the lack of the necessary technical requirements to perform a pin conical joint his intended purpose. The analysis was performed based on geometric construction of the assembly dimensional chain of two parts to be connected and a conical pin with a taper 1:50 according to GOST 9465-79, which is used in the pin joints of pumping equipment. The geometric analysis included the separation of deviations into linear dimensions and angular deviations. The values of the angular deviations were reduced to the linear values of their projections along the axis of the pin, to determine the tolerance on the end height protrusion of the pin above the surface of the connecting parts. Also, the unfoundedness of assigning the roughness index of the hole under the pin at the level of Ra 1.6 μm and its inexpediency when it is impossible to ensure the required contact length is theoretically proved and the solution of this contradiction is proposed. A detailed analysis of the technical requirements for drawings of pumping equipment units containing pin conical joints and paragraphs of the relevant standards, which resulted in the inconsistencies, and offer recommendations that will ensure the quality of the joint following its official purpose. Analysis of the geometric parameters of pin conical joints for the first time allowed to determine the dependence of the height of the pin end protrusion above the surface of the connecting parts and the tolerance for this parameter, as well as to propose mathematical dependences for their determination. The presented dependencies can be used in practice for a reasonable calculation during the design of pin conical joints in pump nodes and in machine-building enterprises where such joints are used. For the first time, the determination of the tolerance for hole size for machining conical reamers is presented, and the formula for calculating this parameter is proposed, which is given in the recommendations for their use in machine building enterprises and products containing pin conical joints.
