Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic nondestructive testing, and in particular is a special tool and method for ultrasonic testing of the back curved surface 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 equipment, no potential harm to the human body, high accuracy of test results, and good repeatability. It is very suitable for in-situ testing of complex structural components without disassembly. However, since the back arc surface of the compressor moving blade is a large curvature variable cross-section structure, the minimum width of the back arc surface blade root platform is only about 2mm, and there is no condition to place a micro phased array ultrasonic linear array longitudinal wave straight probe for vertical downward detection from the platform. A micro phased array ultrasonic linear array oblique probe can be used to couple from the inner arc surface of the moving blade body, and the sound wave propagates obliquely through the blade body to the back arc surface blade root, so as to achieve effective detection of crack defects at the variable cross-section position of the back arc surface blade root. Since the inner arc surface of the blade body is a variable cross-section curved surface structure, manual scanning cannot control the consistency of the scanning path and the uniformity of the coupling force, and it is difficult to ensure the reliability and repeatability of the test results. A foreign company has developed an ultrasonic inspection and scanning tool for the back curved surface of a moving blade root (patent number: US8365584B1). However, the tool has the following limitations when actually used on site: 1. It does not have the tool stroke position display function, and cannot obtain the specific position data of the probe from the air inlet side to the air outlet side of the moving blade in real time, and cannot generate an ultrasonic C-scan image, making it difficult to accurately measure the length of crack defects; 2. The front end of the tool lacks a positioning and sliding device with the blade root platform. Positioning only by the front end of the probe wedge block will result in inaccurate positioning due to rounded sliding and easy damage to the wedge clamping hole; 3. The three legs of the tool that are in contact with the blade body are fixed structures, and rigid friction with the blade is required during scanning. The head of the leg is The low-friction plastic cap will reduce the suction force of the tooling, affecting the coupling force and detection reliability of the probe; 4. It does not have the ability of fully automatic detection, and needs to rely on the joystick for manual push-pull scanning, which consumes a lot of manpower and time; the patent (US7302851B2) has designed a fully automatic detection tooling for ultrasonic detection of the back curved surface of the blade root of the moving blade, but the tooling is a linear lead screw module structure, which has the following limitations: 1. The lead screw is a linear structure, that is, the probe stroke is a straight line, and the inner curved surface of the moving blade is a variable cross-section curved surface structure. The distance from the scanner to the blade body changes with the position, and the elastic force of the spring that presses the probe will change due to the distance, resulting in uneven coupling force of the probe, which seriously affects the consistency and reliability of the echo signal. In addition, the back arc surface blade root platform is an arc-shaped structure. When the probe is scanning, the distance between the probe and the platform needs to be controlled to a constant value. It is difficult for a straight line stroke to meet the above technical requirements; 2. The probe can only move in two plane dimensions and does not have the ability to adjust in a three-dimensional plane. For crack defects with a certain angle orientation, its detection sensitivity is greatly reduced; 3. The tooling needs to be positioned with the help of the back arc surface of the adjacent blade. The tooling is not fixed at the inlet and outlet edges of the blade. During use, the tooling is prone to axial displacement, affecting the detection reliability.At the same time, the tooling is large in size, and it is cumbersome to disassemble and install the tooling for on-site inspection. The patent (US7654143B2) designs an ultrasonic inspection tooling for the back curved blade root of a moving blade. The tooling uses a hinge structure to fix the blade inlet and outlet edges, overcoming the defect that the tooling is prone to axial displacement. However, this structure requires disassembly and assembly of the tooling and rotor turning once for each blade inspection, resulting in low inspection efficiency. At the same time, the tooling is a guide rail structure, and the probe travel is also a straight line, which also has the limitations of Patent 2. In addition, the tooling does not have the function of rotating the probe in a three-dimensional plane. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a special tool and method for ultrasonic detection of the back curved surface of the blade root of a compressor moving blade in response to the limitations of the currently disclosed ultrasonic detection tool for the back curved surface of the blade root of a gas turbine moving blade, such as the inability to fully automatically scan and record position information, the inability to maintain a constant distance between the probe and the blade root platform, the inability to maintain a constant coupling force of the probe, the inability of the probe to rotate in a three-dimensional plane, and the need for a large amount of rotor turning resulting in low detection efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The present invention provides a special tool for ultrasonic detection of the back curved blade root of a compressor rotor blade, comprising a main frame 1, a deflector 2, a probe clamping module 3, a bottom driving module 4, and a front sliding module 5. The deflector 2 is located in the middle of the main frame 1 and is connected to the main frame 1 by a guide rail, the bottom driving module 4 and the front sliding module 5 are connected to the main frame 1 by a rotating shaft, and the probe clamping module 3 is connected to the deflector 2 by a stud.
[0031] The main support 1 is a herringbone structure, including a main support 101, a circumferential T-shaped guide rail 102, a first angle dial 103, a bottom support rib 104, a front support rib 105, and a stud platform 106. The first angle dial 103 is arranged on the surface of the circumferential T-shaped guide rail 102, and the scale is processed by electric spark machining. The three bottom support ribs 104 are distributed around the main support 101 in a triangular shape and are parallel oriented. The two front support ribs 105 are located at the front end of the main support 101 and are parallel oriented. The bottom support rib 104 and the front support rib 105 are both U-shaped structures, with an axial hole at the bottom, and the upper part of the main support 1 is hollowed out for the connection line of the ultrasonic probe 307 and the motor 402 and the coupling agent addition tube to pass through. The T-shaped guide rail 102 can ensure the rotation accuracy and stability with the steering gear 2.
[0032] The steering gear 2 is a disc structure, including a disc 201, a T-shaped guide groove 202, a stud hole 203, a second angle dial 204, and a positioning stud 205. The T-shaped guide groove 202 and the circumferential T-shaped guide 102 of the main frame 1 are positive and negative mold structures, which are in sliding fit. Two stud holes 203 are provided inside the disc 201, and the two stud holes 203 are located on the same straight line. The second angle dial 204 is set inside the first angle dial 103, and the positioning stud 205 is set on the stud platform 106. The surface scale of the second angle dial 204 is processed by electric spark machining. The ultrasonic probe 307 can be rotated in the X-axis plane by rotating the steering gear 2. This feature can ensure the effective detection of crack defects with a certain orientation angle at the blade root position. The steering body 2 and the main bracket 1 are kept fixed in position by the positioning studs 205 in the stud platform 106. The rotation angle can be obtained by the difference in readings between the first angle dial 103 and the second angle dial 204.

The top of the inner-shaped support arm 301 is rotatably connected to the support rod 309 at the bottom end of the U-shaped stud 302, and is fixed by the first nut 304, so that the ultrasonic probe 307 can be rotated on the Y-axis plane. This feature can ensure that the ultrasonic probe 307 is self-adaptive to the curved surface structure of the back of the moving blade, and ensure coupling stability. The bottom of the inner-shaped support arm 301 is a left and right parallel flange, and the ultrasonic probe 307 is rotatably fixed by two clamping studs 306, so that the ultrasonic probe 307 can be rotated on the Z-axis plane. This feature can ensure that the ultrasonic probe 307 is self-adaptive with the change of the longitudinal shape of the moving blade surface, and ensure coupling stability. The U-shaped stud 302 is inserted into the stud hole 203 of the steering gear 2, the spring 303 is sleeved in the U-shaped stud 302, and the second nut 305 is screwed on the top of the U-shaped stud 302.

The motor 402 is fixed to the side of the bottom support rib 104 and connected to the first magnetic wheel 401 through the first rotating shaft 403. The motor 402 has both driving and position encoding functions. This feature can realize full automation of ultrasonic detection. The motor 402 is a servo motor and has the function of encoding, which can realize real-time recording of the position information of the ultrasonic probe 307. In addition, the first magnetic wheel 401 is designed to be in line contact with the blade body. In addition, the triangular herringbone structure can achieve seamless fitting with the curved blade body of the moving blade without the need for special structural profiling.
[0035] The front sliding module 5 includes a second magnetic wheel 501 and a second rotating shaft 502. The second magnetic wheel 501 is connected to the front support rib 105 of the main frame 1 through the second rotating shaft 502. This feature can achieve a fixed distance between the ultrasonic probe 307 and the curved inner surface blade root platform, which is conducive to ensuring the consistency of the crack defect echo signal and improving the quantitative accuracy of the defect depth.
[0036] The bottom support rib 104 and the front support rib 105 of the main support 1 are both bayonet structures, and the bottom support rib 104 and the front support rib 105 of different heights can be replaced and installed. The first angle dial 103 is set to 0°~360°, and the unit division is 1°. The design of the front support rib 105 of different heights can be replaced to realize the detection of blade roots of moving blades of different sizes. The design of the bottom support rib 104 of different heights can realize the detection using ultrasonic probes 307 of different specifications and sizes.
[0037] The positioning stud 205 of the steering gear 2 is a hexagonal external thread stud, and the second angle dial 204 is set to 0° to 360°, with a unit division of 0.9°. The angle misalignment and misalignment amplification design of the first angle dial 103 and the second angle dial 204 can achieve a maximum rotation angle measurement accuracy of 0.1°, which can perform high-precision positioning of the rotation position of the ultrasonic probe 307 in the X-axis plane.
[0038] The first nut 304 and the second nut 305 of the probe clamping module 3 are both external knurled cylindrical nuts. The external knurling design can realize the manual quick disassembly and assembly of the nuts at the detection site. The clamping stud 306 is a hexagonal external thread stud. The ultrasonic probe 307 is a linear array phased array probe, which is composed of a probe body 310 and a wedge block 311. The coupling agent conduit is connected to the interface 308 of the wedge block 311, which can ensure the stable addition of coupling agent during the detection and scanning process, and improve the detection reliability.
[0039] The first magnetic wheel 401 of the bottom driving module 4 and the second magnetic wheel 501 of the front sliding module 5 are both strong NdFeB magnets. The enhanced magnetic design can ensure the firm connection between the tooling and the blade during inspection and prevent the tooling from accidentally falling off. The first rotating shaft 403 and the second rotating shaft 502 are both single keyway cylindrical structures.
[0040] The interface 308 on the wedge block 311 of the probe clamping module 3 is a double-conical interface. This design can strengthen the connection between the coupling agent adding tube and the interface to prevent the coupling agent adding tube from loosening during the scanning process.
