[0002] Steam turbines, gas turbines, and other similar equipment are crucial power units in the power industry, industrial manufacturing, and marine propulsion. Their safety and reliability are paramount to economic security. Operational experience shows that turbine blade damage is a major cause of failure in rotating machinery such as steam turbines and gas turbines, and blade vibration fatigue is the primary cause of blade damage. To improve blade vibration safety, commonly used turbine blades are typically designed with damping structures. These damping structures dissipate vibration energy through dry friction, thereby reducing blade vibration stress.

[0003] As the economic requirements for turbine machinery such as gas turbines, large nuclear power turbines, and ultra-supercritical turbines become increasingly stringent, the operating temperatures of these machines are also rising, leading to a significant increase in the inlet temperature of turbine blades. Against this backdrop, turbine blades frequently operate in high-temperature environments. These high temperatures affect the overall material properties of damping blades, consequently influencing the material characteristics, working mechanism, and vibration reduction effect of the damping structure, thus threatening the fatigue resistance and stability of the blades.

The L-shaped side plates 15 are bolted to the support frame 2, and the positive pressure loading disc 16 is fixed between the two L-shaped side plates 15. By adjusting the position of the L-shaped side plates 15 on the support frame 2, the vertical direction of the positive pressure loading disc 16 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the fixation of shrouds for blades of different shapes. Two arc-shaped grooves 17 are arranged in the middle of the positive pressure loading disc 16, and a total of four sets of positive pressure applying rods 21 are arranged on the two arc-shaped grooves 17. See also... Figure 4 In section (b), four convex sliders 19 are arranged on two arc-shaped grooves 17.

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the excitation force loading device is equipped with an exciter bracket 24 and an exciter chassis 25. The exciter 26 is fixed on the exciter chassis 25 and can slide on the exciter chassis 25. The exciter chassis 25 can in turn slide on the exciter bracket 24, thus achieving excitation force loading at different positions on the blade. The exciter 26 adopts a variable cross-section excitation rod 27, on which a dynamic force sensor 28 is arranged to measure the magnitude of the excitation force in real time. In the technical solution provided by this embodiment of the invention, the exciter 26 adopts a flexible variable cross-section connecting rod, which can avoid the influence of nonlinear excitation on the blade caused by additional constraints.

After removing the observation window 31, the position and installation of the high-temperature strain gauge 44 can be adjusted. The flange sealing cover 32 is fixed to the top of the resistance heating furnace 30 by threads, achieving a top seal of the resistance heating furnace body. The high-temperature gas flow flange 33 is arranged at the bottom of the resistance heating furnace body.

The geometric shape of the observation window 31 is not limited to a circle; it can also be rectangular, irregular quadrilateral, or other polygonal shapes. Furthermore, the arrangement of the observation window 31 is not limited to a single location; its position can be adjusted according to the area required for the vibration test of the damping blades, and the number of observation windows can be increased. In the technical solution provided by this embodiment of the invention, the gaps between the resistance heating furnace 30 and the outside are filled with heat-insulating materials 29 such as asbestos; this ensures the temperature stability of the test environment while isolating the external test equipment from high temperatures to a certain extent.

[0078] Please see Figure 10 To further understand the high-temperature damping blade vibration simulation testing device of the present invention, its operation steps are further explained as follows:

[0079] (1) The blade root structure 13 is constrained by the blade root clamp 12 in the radial, tangential and axial directions, so that the natural frequency measured in the free state of the blade is consistent with the frequency obtained by numerical analysis in the fully constrained state of the blade root, thereby ensuring that the blade root is fully constrained.

[0080] (2) Install and fix the resistance heating furnace 30 and the pipe heater 34, set the heating equipment according to the temperature required by the test, and connect the thermocouple 43 sensor to monitor the temperature inside the furnace in real time; adjust the heating temperature rise rate through the control cabinet to achieve uniform loading of current intensity, and finally form a stable temperature field; the opening of the furnace body is completely filled with heat insulation material 29.

[0081] (3) Install the shroud positive pressure loading device. Based on the three-dimensional contact finite element numerical analysis results of the blade, determine the positive pressure load between the blade shroud contact surfaces under a given speed condition. After the temperature field stabilizes, apply the corresponding positive pressure to the blade damping shroud using the positive pressure loading disk 16.

[0082] (4) Install the excitation force loading device, adjust the direction of the variable cross-section excitation rod 27 to be perpendicular to the surface of the blade body 14, and connect and fix the variable cross-section excitation rod 27 to the blade body 14 with nuts. After the temperature field stabilizes, adjust the signal generator 41 and the power amplifier 42 to apply a simple harmonic excitation force with a certain amplitude and a certain excitation frequency to the blade body 14;

[0083] (5) The vibration response of the blade is measured by high-temperature strain gauges 44 arranged along the blade height or by an eddy current displacement sensor brought out of the heating furnace, and the vibration response of the blade under a certain contact surface normal pressure load and a certain excitation frequency is obtained.

[0084] (6) Change the excitation frequency and repeat the operation after step (3) to perform the measurement. During this process, it is necessary to monitor the stability of the temperature field inside the furnace. By continuously adjusting the output power of the power amplifier 42, the amplitude of the excitation force is kept constant during the test, and the vibration frequency response curve of the blade under a certain contact surface normal pressure load under high temperature load is obtained.

[0085] (7) Replace the contact surface normal pressure load corresponding to the next rotation speed, repeat the operation after step (2) to measure, and finally obtain the vibration frequency response curve of the blade under high temperature load under multiple different contact surface normal pressure loads.

[0086] (8) Calculate the modal damping ratio of the blade based on the frequency response curves under each working condition, and analyze the damping characteristics of the blade damping shroud under different normal pressure loads.

[0087] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can apply positive pressure loads to blades of different shapes; the positive pressure loading disk can apply different magnitudes of positive pressure to the blade tip shroud of different shapes through real-time data display of static force sensors, adjustment of adjusting bolts, and sliding of convex sliders in arc-shaped grooves, and is easy to adjust.

[0088] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can achieve temperature control and stability of the test area; the resistance heating furnace, the high-temperature gas flow device and the thermocouple arranged on the resistance heating furnace can achieve temperature control of the test environment, so that the test environment temperature is constant; and the dual heating system of the resistance heating furnace and the high-temperature gas flow device can further improve the speed of temperature control and effectively prevent the failure of a single system.

[0089] The technical solution provided by this invention can apply excitation forces to blades under various working conditions. Both the exciter chassis and the exciter support are equipped with sliding groove structures, and the exciter support can be adjusted vertically within the support frame, allowing the exciter to move in four degrees of freedom: three translational directions and a horizontal rotational direction. This allows the excitation force application position to be adjusted according to the blade shape and the position of the resistance heating furnace. Furthermore, by adjusting the signal generator and power amplifier, excitation forces of different frequencies and amplitudes can be applied to the blades.

[0090] The technical solution provided by this invention can achieve relatively accurate vibration measurement of high-temperature damped blades. It employs a vibration displacement measurement method combining contact and non-contact measurement. High-temperature strain gauges, directly attached to the blade surface, allow for small-scale strain measurement at key monitoring locations with relatively concentrated stress. Meanwhile, a non-contact laser Doppler vibration meter measures the vibration displacement within a certain range through an observation window on a resistance heating furnace. This combination of local point measurement and regional measurement can largely ensure the accurate measurement of blade vibration displacement.

[0091] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can ensure that the test device can work normally under high temperature test. The present invention has heat insulation sheets and heat insulation plates arranged in the surrounding positive pressure loading device and the blade root fixing device; the parts of the resistance heating furnace that come into contact with the outside are filled with heat insulation material, which can largely prevent high temperature from damaging the external equipment while ensuring the high temperature test, so that the test device can work normally.

[0092] The testing device provided in this embodiment of the invention can not only perform tests in high-temperature environments, but also in normal-temperature environments; furthermore, the test objects of this device are not limited to turbine blades, but can also be used to test blades of other rotating machinery.

[0093] In summary, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can realize the vibration simulation test of damped blades under high-temperature environments, and obtain the influence of multiple factors such as normal pressure, excitation force, and temperature on the vibration characteristics of damped blades. Simultaneously, the embodiments of the present invention construct a complete measurement and control device, which can realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of temperature data, excitation force data, and normal pressure data; achieve real-time and accurate measurement of blade vibration displacement; and the test process has a high degree of automation and is easy to operate. The present invention can provide a test platform and data support for the vibration performance testing of damped blades in high-temperature environments such as gas turbines.
