Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of turbine blades, in particular to a dovetail-shaped air film hole, a turbine blade containing the dovetail-shaped air film hole and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The turbine is the core component of a gas turbine engine, a power-generating device operating in a harsh environment characterized by high temperatures, high pressures, and complex loads. As performance requirements for engine thrust-to-weight ratios and thermal conversion rates increase, turbine inlet temperatures continue to rise, currently far exceeding the temperature limits of the materials used for these high-temperature components. Therefore, advanced and efficient cooling and protection methods, as well as thermal barrier coatings, are required for these high-temperature components to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature gases exceeding their melting points.

[0003] At present, the cooling technologies for high-temperature components of turbines include disturbance-enhanced convection cooling, impingement cooling, film cooling and divergent cooling, among which film hole cooling is the most important and effective cooling method. In addition to being affected by aerodynamic parameters (such as blowing ratio, density ratio, mainstream Reynolds number, mainstream turbulence, etc.), the film cooling effect also depends to a large extent on the hole shape of the film hole. The cooling characteristics of special-shaped holes are significantly improved compared to round holes, especially under large blowing ratios that are common in actual engine operating conditions. In addition, due to the complex configuration of special-shaped film holes, it is difficult to achieve qualified processing of them with existing processing technology, especially to achieve three-dimensional processing of complex structures on hard high-temperature alloys, which places high demands on processing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the problems raised in the background technology, the present invention proposes a dovetail-shaped air film hole, a turbine blade containing a dovetail-shaped air film hole, and a processing method thereof.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of L3 is 8 to 12 mm; the length of L1 is 8 to 12 mm, the length of Φ1 is 0.2 to 0.6 mm, the angle of δ is 3 to 7°, and the angle of β is 15 to 25°.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for drawing the above-mentioned dovetail-shaped air film hole, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0010] S1: Draw a circle with a diameter of Φ1 and a center of O, and project it along the axis to a projection plane at a distance of L1 to form a projection circle with a center of O1;

[0011] S2: Draw tangent segments of the projected circle with a length of L2 in the horizontal left and right directions through the highest point of the projected circle;

[0012] S3: Shift downward at the endpoints of the two tangents distance, get O2; then take O2 as the center of the circle, Draw a circle with radius;

[0013] S4: Draw line segments from the lowest point of circle O1 in the horizontal directions and in the left and right directions. The other ends of the line segments are connected to the ends of the two circles O2 closer to circle O1 through arcs.

[0014] S5: Erase the extra lines in circle O2 to obtain the orthographic projection of the tail end of the swallowtail cone;

[0015] S6: Draw two symmetrical line segments in the z direction from the left and right ends of the orthographic projection of the tail end of the swallowtail cone, where the z direction is perpendicular to the orthographic projection surface of the tail end of the swallowtail cone. Connect the other ends of the two line segments to the left and right ends of the circle O, respectively. Use the Art Surface command to stitch the connected curves into a swallowtail cone.

[0016] S7: Stretch the circle O by a length of L3 to obtain a cylinder;

[0017] S8: Combine the cylinder and the dovetail cone to obtain a dovetail air film hole structure.

[0018] On the other hand, the present invention proposes a turbine blade, comprising the above-mentioned dovetail-type air film hole, and also comprising a blade, the dovetail-type air film hole intersects the blade, the angle between the central axis of the dovetail-type air film hole and the surface of the blade is α, the thickness of the blade is H2, and the junction of the dovetail cone part and the inclined hole is at a distance H1 from the bottom of the blade.

[0026] S3: Based on the two-dimensional wireframe model obtained in step S2, the blade is laser scanned based on the dovetail plane wireframe to obtain a hole in the shape of the dovetail plane model. Then, according to the processing laser deflection angle corresponding to the dovetail tilt model, the blade is offset by a corresponding angle. After positioning using six degrees of freedom, the blade is laser scanned based on the dovetail tilt wireframe to obtain a hole in the shape of a dovetail cone.

[0027] S4: According to the dovetail cone-shaped hole obtained in step S3, laser rotary cutting is performed at the center of the dovetail cone-shaped hole after six-degree-of-freedom positioning to machine an inclined hole with a diameter of Φ1, and finally a dovetail-shaped air film hole is obtained on the blade.

[0028] Furthermore, in step S1, the processing laser deflection angle is 0° for the dovetail plane model and 90°-α for the dovetail tilt model.

[0029] Furthermore, in step S1, the interlayer spacing of the layered slices is 0.05 mm.

[0030] The dovetail-shaped air film hole, the turbine blade containing the dovetail-shaped air film hole, and the processing method thereof proposed in the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
