Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic non-destructive testing, and in particular is a special tool and method for ultrasonic testing of the inner cambered blade root of a compressor rotor blade. Background Art

[0002] The compressor moving blades are the core components of the compressor that do work on the gas turbine inlet gas. They are composed of two parts: the blade body and the blade root. The blade body is the part where the blade interacts with the airflow, and the blade root is the part where the blade is assembled to the rotor disc slot. Dovetail blade roots are generally used. As a rotating machine, the compressor moving blades are subjected to complex alternating stresses during service, and are prone to crack defects at the back arc surface and inner arc surface variable cross-section position of the dovetail blade root, seriously affecting the safe and stable operation of the unit. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the gas turbine compressor moving blades, it is very necessary to regularly perform non-destructive testing on the compressor moving blade roots. Especially when the moving blades are not disassembled for maintenance, the effective detection of crack defects on the inner arc surface and back arc surface of the blade root has become the focus of current gas turbine operation and maintenance technology researchers.

[0003] Ultrasonic testing has the advantages of not being restricted by the shape and size of components, strong on-site adaptability, simple operation of the device and equipment, no potential harm to the human body, and high accuracy and good repeatability of the test results. It is very suitable for in-situ testing of complex structural components without disassembly. The ultrasonic detection device and method for blade roots of moving blades applied by foreign companies (patent number US7302851B2) couples the probe to the inner arc surface of the blade body, and the sound wave passes through the blade body to the back arc surface blade root area for detection. It is only suitable for ultrasonic detection of the back arc surface blade root of moving blades. For the inner arc surface blade root, due to the large width of the inner arc surface blade root platform (about 5mm to 15mm wide), there is no path for the sound beam to propagate from the blade body to the blade root, so this method and device cannot be implemented. In view of the large width of the inner arc surface blade root platform, there is a condition to directly place the ultrasonic probe at this position. A micro phased array ultrasonic linear array longitudinal wave straight probe can be used to manually scan the inner arc surface blade root platform. The sound wave propagates vertically downward and diffuses at a certain angle, which can realize the effective detection of crack defects at the variable cross-section position of the inner arc surface blade root of the moving blade. However, due to the small size of the phased array ultrasonic probe used, the coupling surface is generally only 40mm 2 ~60mm 2 During manual scanning, the scanning path cannot be fixed and the probe is prone to shaking, resulting in poor stability of the ultrasonic echo signal, affecting the detection sensitivity and repeatability of the results. At the same time, the shape of the inner arc blade root platform is irregular and there is interference from the rounding at the transition between the blade body and the blade root, which further increases the instability during scanning. At the same time, manual scanning cannot accurately obtain information about the location of the probe, affecting the precise positioning of defects. In addition, manual scanning requires the inspector to manually couple the probe throughout the process, and when performing inspections during the temporary shutdown of the unit, the inlet guide vanes must be manually bypassed, which greatly reduces the reliability of the inspection and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0004] Therefore, developing a special tooling and method for ultrasonic inspection of the inner curved blade root of a compressor moving blade can overcome the shortcomings of an unstable scanning path caused by manual scanning during ultrasonic inspection of the inner curved blade root, unstable echo signal caused by easy shaking of the probe, and poor repeatability and reliability of the inspection results. It can also realize automated scanning with precise stroke positioning without opening the compressor cylinder during temporary shutdown of the unit. This is an urgent problem to be solved in the ultrasonic inspection of the inner curved blade root of a gas turbine compressor moving blade. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a special tooling and method for ultrasonic inspection of the inner curved surface of the blade root of a compressor moving blade in response to the technical demand that the probe must be controlled to be stable and not shake, the scanning path must be fixed, the stroke must be accurately positioned, and the full-automatic execution must be performed during the temporary shutdown of the unit. The device and method are simple and easy to operate, and can realize fully automatic scanning of ultrasonic inspection of the inner curved surface of the blade root of the moving blade without opening the compressor cylinder during the temporary shutdown of the unit. The shortcomings of unstable detection signals, poor result repeatability and reliability caused by the unfixed scanning path and shaking of the probe can be avoided, and real-time and accurate positioning of the probe stroke position can be realized.

The middle gear (401) is meshed with the plane rack (203), and a proper amount of lubricating butter is applied; the ultrasonic probe (307) is placed in the probe fixing frame (301), and the second front and rear fixing bolts (305) are tightened; two springs (304) are sheathed on the stud (303) in the probe clamping module (3), the stud (303) is inserted into the circular hole at the top of the support arm (302), the ultrasonic probe (307) is placed in the groove (106), and the nut (306) is then tightened on the top of the stud (303); Connect the ultrasonic probe (307) to the mainframe of the phased array ultrasonic detector, and connect the motor (402) to the mainframe of the stroke control; apply a proper amount of grease to the groove (106); start the motor (402), drive the ultrasonic probe (307) to scan along the groove (106) from the air inlet side to the air outlet side of the moving blade, the mainframe of the phased array ultrasonic detector records and stores the reflected sound waves at the variable cross-section of the blade root platform on the inner curved surface of the moving blade in real time, and the stroke control mainframe records and stores the stroke position of the ultrasonic probe (307) in real time, and then generates A\B\C\D scanning images; if re-inspection is required, the position and direction of the ultrasonic probe (307) can be adjusted at any time through the stroke control mainframe.
