Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically a multi-dimensional inspection device for high-speed wind turbine blade products. Background Technology
[0002] A fan is a machine that uses input mechanical energy to increase gas pressure and discharge gas; it is a type of driven fluid machinery. In China, "fan" is a common abbreviation for gas compression and gas transportation machinery, typically including ventilators, blowers, and wind turbines. High-speed fans are those with high rotational speeds and large air volumes. With continuous technological advancements, high-speed fans are widely used in various fields. During the manufacturing process of high-speed fan blades, the shape profile of the blades needs to be inspected. Profile accuracy describes the accuracy of surface dimensions, with the main indicator being profile error, which refers to the variation of the measured actual profile relative to the ideal profile. Currently, blade shape profile measurement generally uses industrial photography, which is time-consuming and slow in data processing. Alternatively, go / no-go gauges or feeler gauges combined with profile calipers are used to inspect the blade shape profile; however, this method is heavily influenced by human subjectivity, potentially affecting the accuracy of the shape profile inspection. Therefore, achieving rapid profile inspection without compromising accuracy is a problem urgently needing to be solved by those skilled in the art.

When detecting other blades, the drive unit, according to the settings, moves the detection column to the blade's profile detection point. When the profile of the blade to be detected is defective, the steel ball will move to a certain extent. The detection unit can detect the amount of movement of the steel ball and compare it with the movement data at the same profile detection point of the standard blade to quickly analyze the blade's profile. Compared with existing technologies, there is no need to use feeler gauges or go / no-go gauges for detection, making the detection accuracy unaffected by human subjectivity. Furthermore, when the steel ball rolls to the blade's profile detection point, the displacement data can be fed back to the external controller in real time for display, thus improving detection speed and efficiency. Additionally, since the detection column can float up and down, the steel ball can adapt to the curved surface of the propeller blade, enabling multi-dimensional detection of the propeller blade's profile.

Detailed Implementation
[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0055] Example
[0056] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-dimensional inspection device for high-speed wind turbine blade products, including a base 1, a positioning unit, a support unit, a transverse seat 4, a drive unit, a detection column 3, and a displacement detection unit. The positioning unit is disposed on the base 1 and is used to clamp and position the blade root of the propeller blade product. Specifically, the positioning unit includes a support column 23, a pad 22, and a clamping assembly. The support column 23 is vertically disposed on the base 1, the pad 22 is disposed on the upper end of the support column 23 and its top surface is parallel to the top surface of the base 1, and two positioning pins 21 are used. The two locating pins 21 are respectively fixed to opposite sides of the pad 22 and are respectively used for insertion into the two machined holes at the root of the propeller blade. Furthermore, the two locating pins 21 are a circular locating pin and a diamond-shaped locating pin, respectively. This allows the positional accuracy of the two machined holes at the root of the blade to be reduced on the blade clamping and positioning effect after the two locating pins are inserted. The clamping assembly is used to clamp the root of the propeller blade placed on the pad 22. Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a hinge 24 and a hydraulic cylinder 18. The tilting arm 16, connecting arm 17, clamping plate 20, and hinge seat 24 are hinged to the support column 23. A hydraulic cylinder 18 is mounted on the hinge seat 24. The tilting arm 16 is hinged to the outer wall of one side of the pad 22. The connecting arm 17 is connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 18 and is hinged to the tilting arm 16. The clamping plate 20 is connected to the tilting arm 16 and corresponds to the pad 22. When clamping the blade root, the hydraulic cylinder is first activated, extending its telescopic rod, which drives the connecting arm to move upward, thereby causing the tilting arm to tilt downward. This allows the clamping plate 20 to clamp the root of the blade. In this embodiment, a connecting post is vertically fixed to the clamping plate 20. The connecting post is threaded through the flipping arm 16 and has multiple nuts 19 fitted on its upper end. The end face of the nut 19 abuts against the upper surface of the flipping arm 16. By rotating the nut 19, the nut 19 is screwed into the connecting post thread. After adjusting the length of the connecting post exposed above the top surface of the flipping arm 16, the connecting rod is locked by the nut 19 to prevent the connecting rod from rotating on its own, which would affect the clamping plate 20.The support unit is mounted on the base 1 and is used to support the propeller blade product. The transverse support 4 is located above the base 1. Specifically, the support unit includes multiple upright plates 14, multiple clamping plates 13, multiple arc-shaped support plates 2, and locking components. The multiple upright plates 14 are evenly spaced on the base 1 along its length, and their tops have notched slots. The multiple clamping plates 13 are respectively engaged in the multiple slots. The multiple arc-shaped support plates 2 are respectively fixed to the tops of the multiple clamping plates 13, and the inner arc surfaces of the multiple arc-shaped support plates 2 are respectively positioned at different locations on the surface of the propeller blade. The blades are placed on the upper surfaces of multiple arc-shaped support plates, with the inner arc surfaces of the arc-shaped support plates fitting against the blade surfaces to provide longitudinal support for the blades. In addition, a locking component is used to limit the position of the card plate 13 that is engaged in the card slot. Specifically, the locking component includes a set screw threaded through the upright plate 14. The card plate 13 has a positioning hole for the set screw to be threaded. By inserting the set screw into the positioning hole, the card plate 13 can be positioned after it is engaged in the card slot. This ensures high positional accuracy when the arc-shaped support plate 2 is repeatedly installed. The drive unit is used to drive the horizontal sliding seat 4 to move horizontally and vertically. Specifically, the drive unit includes a longitudinal support 15, a lifting seat 10, a first lead screw mechanism, a transverse support 6, and a second lead screw mechanism. The longitudinal support 15 is mounted on the base 1, and the lifting seat 10 is vertically slidably connected to the longitudinal support 15. Specifically, the longitudinal support 15 is provided with a first guide post 11, and the lifting seat 10 has a through hole for the first guide post 11 to pass freely, so that the lifting seat 10 will not swing when moving up and down. The first lead screw mechanism is used to drive the lifting seat 10 to move vertically. Specifically, the first lead screw mechanism includes a first motor 9 and a first lead screw 12. The first motor 9 is mounted on the top of the longitudinal support, and the first lead screw 12 is vertically rotatably connected to the longitudinal support and threadedly connected to the horizontal sliding seat. Thus, when the first motor 9 is energized and rotates, it drives the second lead screw mechanism. A lead screw 12 rotates, which in turn drives the transverse sliding seat 4 to move up and down. The transverse support 6 is connected to the longitudinal support 15, and the transverse sliding seat 4 is horizontally slidably connected to the transverse support 6. The transverse support is provided with multiple second guide posts, and the transverse sliding seat 4 has through holes for the second guide posts 8 to pass through freely, so that the transverse sliding seat 4 is horizontally slidably connected to the second guide posts. The second lead screw mechanism is used to drive the transverse sliding seat 4 to move horizontally. Specifically, the second lead screw mechanism includes a second motor 5 mounted on the transverse support. The motor shaft of the second motor 5 is driven and connected to a second lead screw 7. The transverse sliding seat 4 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 7. The second motor is started by an external controller, so that when the second motor rotates, it can drive the second lead screw 7 to engage with the transverse sliding seat 4, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the transverse sliding seat and realizing the adjustment of the moving position of the transverse sliding seat 4.The detection column 3 is connected to the bottom of the transverse support 4 via a buffer unit, and a steel ball 31 is rotatably connected to its lower end. The displacement detection unit is used to detect the longitudinal movement stroke of the detection column 3. Specifically, the displacement detection unit includes a displacement sensor 25 and a sensing block 27. The displacement sensor 25 is mounted on the transverse support 4, and the sensing block 27 is connected to the outer wall of the detection column 3 and works in conjunction with the displacement sensor 25. Specifically, a fixing plate is set on the outer wall of the detection column 3, and the sensing block is welded or glued to the fixing plate, keeping the sensing block in a corresponding state with the displacement sensor 25. The rotation stroke of the first motor and the second motor is set by an external controller, so that after the transverse support moves into place, the buffer unit drives the steel ball to press against the blade surface. During the pressing process, when the blade surface contour is poor, the steel ball will generate a certain displacement. At this time, the displacement is detected by the sensing block and the displacement sensor. The device works in conjunction with the displacement sensor, which collects the movement of the sensing block and generates a displacement signal, which is then fed back to the external controller. By analyzing the movement data of the sensing block corresponding to the fixed detection position of the blade, the profile of the blade can be analyzed. The buffer unit includes a telescopic column 29, a short pin 26, and a spring 30. The telescopic column 29 is fixed to the bottom of the transverse shift seat 4, and the detection column 3 has a socket for the telescopic column 29 to be inserted and extended. The short pin 26 is located on the detection column 3, and the outer wall of the detection column 3 has a waist-shaped hole 28 for the short pin 26 to be inserted. The length direction of the waist-shaped hole 28 is parallel to the axial direction of the detection column 3. The spring 30 is located in the socket and can elastically abut against the telescopic column 29. Through the elastic abutting force of the spring against the telescopic column, the telescopic column can be driven to slide downward, and through the elastic force of the spring, the steel ball is kept in contact with the blade surface.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
