DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The core of the present application is to provide a blade mechanical test fixture, which can accurately simulate the real stress working condition and obtain reliable bending fatigue performance data while realizing reliable clamping of the blade type component.

[0042] Another core of the present application is to provide a mechanical testing system with the above-mentioned blade mechanical testing fixture.

[0043] Another core of the present application is to provide a mechanical testing method using the above-mentioned mechanical testing system.

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] When performing blade bending fatigue test, it is usually necessary to use equipment such as electro-hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine and cooperate with corresponding fixture system. However, the bending fatigue testing machine is usually equipped with general tooling, such as four-point bending or three-point bending tooling, which is mainly used for loading standard samples of different materials with regular geometric shapes. For blade components with complex curved surface shape and irregular cross section, the above-mentioned general fixture is difficult to realize stable and reliable clamping. If forced clamping, not only the stress concentration is easy to occur at the clamping part, the sample is damaged, but also the relative sliding or posture change of the sample may occur during the test process, thereby introducing additional measurement error, which cannot truly reflect the stress state and fatigue performance of the blade under actual working condition, and the accuracy and repeatability of the test result are difficult to guarantee.

[0046] Therefore, as Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a blade mechanical test fixture, which comprises a fixing assembly 10 and a force applying assembly 20. By arranging the clamping assembly 13 matched with the surface of the blade sample 300, the technical difficulties that the blade components with irregular curved surface are difficult to be stably clamped on the standard testing machine are effectively solved, and the applicability of the fixture is improved. Meanwhile, the arc-shaped clamping surface 131 of the clamping assembly 13 can ensure the firmness of the clamping of the blade sample 300, avoid the sliding and attitude change of the blade sample 300 during the test process, and can uniformly disperse the clamping force, prevent the early failure of the blade sample 300 caused by stress concentration, so as to ensure that the test data can truly reflect the fatigue performance of the blade, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results. In addition, the fixture of the present application has simple structure, can be conveniently used with the existing standard equipment such as electro-hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine 200, does not need to be modified, has good universality and practical value. Moreover, the stress working condition of the blade in actual work can be accurately simulated, and reliable fatigue life data can be obtained, which provides important experimental basis for the optimization design, life prediction and reliability evaluation of the blade structure.

[0047] The specific embodiments of the blade mechanical test fixture disclosed by the present application will be explained and described below. Figures 1 to 12 The specific embodiments of the blade mechanical test fixture disclosed by the present application will be explained and described below.

[0048] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fixing assembly 10 can include a base 11, a supporting assembly 12 and a clamping assembly 13. Among them, the base 11 can be fixed on the base of the fatigue testing machine 200 through fasteners such as bolts, and one end of the supporting assembly 12 can be arranged on the base 11, and the other end of the supporting assembly 12 can be connected with the clamping assembly 13, and the clamping assembly 13 has an arc clamping surface 131 which is in contact with the end surface of the blade sample 300, so that the clamping assembly 13 clamps one end of the blade sample 300, effectively solving the technical pain point that the blade type component with irregular curved surface shape is difficult to be stably clamped on the standard testing machine, and improving the applicability of the clamp. At the same time, the arc clamping surface 131 of the clamping assembly 13 can ensure the firmness of the clamping of the blade sample 300, avoid the sliding and attitude change of the blade sample 300 during the test process, and can uniformly disperse the clamping force, prevent the early failure of the blade sample 300 caused by stress concentration, so as to ensure that the test data can truly reflect the fatigue performance of the blade, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results. And the force applying assembly 20 can be connected to the actuator of the fatigue testing machine 200, so that the actuator of the fatigue testing machine 200 drives the force applying assembly 20 to apply cyclic load to the other end of the blade sample 300, so that the fatigue test of the blade sample 300 can be carried out.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the base 11 can adopt a U-shaped metal plate with the same width as the fatigue testing machine 200, and the two ends of the base 11 can be provided with connecting holes connected with the base of the fatigue testing machine 200. Among them, the connecting hole can adopt a strip-shaped hole along the length direction of the blade sample, so that the connecting hole can be matched with fasteners such as bolts to adjust the distance between the base 11 and the fatigue testing machine 200, so as to meet the fatigue test requirements of blade samples with different lengths.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the base 11, ballast blocks can be fixed at both ends of the base 11, and the ballast blocks are detachably connected with both ends of the base 11, so that the base 11 can be ballasted according to actual needs to prevent the fixing assembly 10 from overturning and ensure the stability of the base 11.

[0051] Of course, the base 11 can also be directly connected and fixed with the supporting surface such as the ground through foundation bolts, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the fixing assembly 10 clamping the blade sample 300, and prevent the blade sample 300 from deviating during the test process.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the support assembly 12 can include a support rod 121 and a support base 122 located at the end of the support rod 121. Wherein the support base 122 can adopt a rectangular block, and the support base 122 and the support rod 121 can be fixedly connected by welding, and one end of the support rod 121 is detachably connected with the base 11 through the support base 122 by a bolt or other fastener, and the other end of the support rod 121 is detachably connected with the clamping assembly 13 through the support base 122 by a bolt or other fastener, so as to improve the connection area between the two ends of the support rod 121 and the base 11 and the clamping assembly 13 respectively, and ensure the reliability of the connection between the two ends of the support rod 121 and the base 11 and the clamping assembly 13 respectively.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clamping assembly 13 can include a first clamping piece 132 and a second clamping piece 133. Wherein the first clamping piece 132 is located below the second clamping piece 133, and the first clamping piece 132 can be detachably connected with the support base 122 of the support rod 121 by a bolt or other fastener, and the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133 can be connected by a connecting assembly 134 to clamp the blade sample 300 between the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the blade sample 300.

[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping piece 132 can be provided with an arc-shaped groove 1321, and the second clamping piece 133 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 1331 matched with the arc-shaped groove 1321, and the arc-shaped clamping surface 131 can include the inner surface of the arc-shaped groove 1321 and the outer surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 1331, so that when the blade sample 300 is clamped between the arc-shaped groove 1321 and the arc-shaped protrusion 1331, it can be fitted with the outer surface of the blade sample 300, to ensure the firmness of the clamping of the blade sample 300, and avoid the sliding and attitude change of the blade sample 300 during the test.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the first clamping piece 132 can adopt a rectangular plate, and a first clamping portion can be formed on the first clamping piece 132 and extend towards the second clamping piece 133, and an arc-shaped recess 1321 can be formed on the first clamping portion and recessed towards the second clamping piece 133. The second clamping piece 133 can adopt a rectangular plate with the same size as the first clamping piece 132, and a second clamping portion can be formed on the second clamping piece 133 and extend towards the first clamping piece 132, and an arc-shaped protrusion 1331 can be formed on the second clamping portion and protrude towards the first clamping piece 132. The outer surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 1331 matches the inner surface of the arc-shaped recess 1321, so that when the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133 are connected through the connecting assembly 134, the blade sample 300 can be firmly clamped between the arc-shaped recess 1321 and the arc-shaped protrusion 1331, and the blade sample 300 can be prevented from sliding and changing posture during the test, and the clamping force can be uniformly dispersed to prevent early failure of the blade sample 300 due to stress concentration, thereby ensuring that the test data truly reflects the fatigue performance of the blade and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connecting assembly 134 can include a plurality of adjusting screws 1341, i.e., the adjusting screws 1341 can adopt two, three, four or more, and the first clamping piece 132 is provided with a first mounting hole adapted to the adjusting screw 1341, i.e., the first mounting hole can adopt two, three, four or more, which is the same number as the adjusting screw 1341, and the second clamping piece 133 is provided with a second mounting hole adapted to the first mounting hole, i.e., the second mounting hole can adopt two, three, four or more, which is the same number as the first mounting hole, and the adjusting screw 1341 can be arranged in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole to lock the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first mounting hole of the first clamping piece 132 can adopt a threaded hole, and the second mounting hole on the second clamping piece 133 can adopt a light hole, so that the adjusting screw 1341 can pass through the second mounting hole on the second clamping piece 133 and be screwed with the first mounting hole, thereby adjusting the clamping force between the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133. Of course, the first mounting hole of the first clamping piece 132 and the second mounting hole on the second clamping piece 133 can both adopt light holes, so that the adjusting screw 1341 can pass through the second mounting hole on the second clamping piece 133 and the first mounting hole of the first clamping piece 132 in sequence, and be screwed with the locking nut, thereby adjusting the clamping force between the first clamping piece 132 and the second clamping piece 133.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figures 5 to 8As shown, the force applying assembly 20 can include a connecting seat 21 and a contact head 22. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting seat 21 can have a mounting groove 211 for mounting the contact head 22, and the contact head 22 can be rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 211, so that the contact head 22 and the vane sample 300 can be loaded through rolling contact, thereby reducing the friction in the length direction of the vane sample 300, reducing the wear of the vane sample 300, and ensuring the accuracy of the fatigue test data of the vane sample 300. It should be noted that the contact head 22 can be made of non-metallic materials such as acrylic, so as to reduce the wear of the vane sample 300 and ensure the accuracy of the fatigue test data of the vane sample 300.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 The contact head 22 can be provided with an arc-shaped force applying surface 221 that is in contact with the surface of the vane sample 300, so that the contact head 22 and the surface of the vane sample 300 are better in contact, preventing early failure of the vane sample 300 due to stress concentration, thereby ensuring that the test data can truly reflect the fatigue performance of the vane and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results. As shown, the arc-shaped force applying surface 221 can be a single-leaf hyperboloid, which can prevent the vane sample 300 from being separated from the contact head 22 while being in contact with the surface of the vane sample 300, thereby limiting the vane sample 300.

[0060] The vane mechanical test fixture 100 disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be installed on the base of the testing machine by the base 11 of the fixing assembly 10, and the clamping assembly 13 is fixed on the base 11 by the supporting assembly 12, and the clamping assembly 13 has an arc-shaped clamping surface 131 that is in contact with the end surface of the vane sample 300, so that the clamping assembly 13 can fix one end of the vane sample 300. In addition, the force applying assembly 20 can be connected with the actuator of the testing machine, so that the force applying assembly 20 can apply a cyclic load to the other end of the vane sample 300.

[0061] The blade mechanical testing fixture 100 disclosed in this application effectively solves the technical problem of unstable clamping of blade-like components with irregular curved surfaces on standard testing machines by setting a clamping component 13 adapted to the surface of the blade sample 300, thus improving the applicability of the fixture. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped clamping surface 131 of the clamping component 13 ensures the firmness of the blade sample 300, preventing slippage and attitude changes during testing, and evenly distributing the clamping force to prevent premature failure of the blade sample 300 due to stress concentration. This ensures that the test data accurately reflects the fatigue performance of the blade, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Furthermore, the fixture structure of this application is simple in design and can be easily used with existing standard equipment such as the electro-hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine 200 without requiring modification to the testing machine, demonstrating good versatility and practical value. Moreover, it can accurately simulate the stress conditions of the blade in actual operation, obtaining reliable fatigue life data, providing important experimental basis for the optimized design, life prediction, and reliability assessment of blade structural components.

[0062] This application also discloses a mechanical testing system, including a fatigue testing machine 200 and a blade mechanical testing fixture 100 as disclosed in the above embodiments. Therefore, it possesses all the technical effects of the blade mechanical testing fixture 100 described above, and will not be repeated here. The fatigue testing machine 200 may include a base and an actuator. The base 11 of the fixing component 10 can be mounted on the base using fasteners such as bolts. Simultaneously, the force application component 20 can be connected to the actuator to apply a load to the blade sample 300 by driving the force application component 20 through the fatigue testing machine 200.

[0063] like Figure 13 As shown in the embodiments, this application also discloses a mechanical testing method, which uses the mechanical testing system disclosed in the above embodiments. Therefore, it has all the technical effects of the above mechanical testing system, and will not be described again here. The mechanical testing method may include step S100 of installing a fixture, step S200 of clamping the blade sample, and step S300 of applying a load.

[0064] Step S100: Install the fixture;

[0065] Adjust the installation position between the base 11 of the fixing component 10 and the base of the fatigue testing machine 200, and install it on the base of the fatigue testing machine 200 with fasteners such as bolts. At the same time, connect the force application component 20 to the actuator of the fatigue testing machine 200.

[0066] Step S200: Clamp the blade sample;

[0067] One end of the blade sample 300 is fixed within the clamping assembly 13 of the fixing assembly 10, such that the arc-shaped clamping surface 131 of the clamping assembly 13 is in contact with the outer surface of the blade sample 300, while the other end of the blade sample 300 overlaps with the force-applying assembly 20. Specifically, one end of the blade sample 300 is placed on the first clamping member 132 of the clamping assembly 13, and the second clamping member 133 is connected and fixed to the first clamping member 132 via the connecting assembly 134, so that the blade sample 300 is clamped between the arc-shaped groove 1321 of the first clamping member 132 and the arc-shaped protrusion 1331 of the second clamping member 133, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of one end of the blade sample 300. The other end of the blade sample 300 overlaps with the contact head 22 of the force-applying assembly 20 to apply a cyclic load to the blade sample 300.

[0068] Step S300: Apply load;

[0069] By controlling the actuator of the fatigue testing machine 200 to drive the force application component 20 to slowly lift and lower, a preset cyclic load is applied to the blade specimen 300 until the blade specimen 300 fails due to fatigue or reaches the predetermined number of cycles.

[0070] By employing the blade testing fixture, mechanical testing system, and mechanical testing method provided in the above embodiments, stable and reliable bending fatigue testing can be performed on blade-like components with specific complex shapes. The obtained fatigue life data has low dispersion and good repeatability, which can truly reflect the fatigue performance of the component under simulated working conditions. This provides important experimental basis for the structural optimization and life assessment of key components of high-end equipment such as aero-engines and steam turbines.
