Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The following further elaborates on the present invention in detail with specific embodiments, which is an explanation rather than a limitation of the present invention.

[0033] The present invention discloses a multi-blade synchronous random equivalent loading fatigue test device. Referring to Figure 1 、 2 , it includes a tensioning screw c, a blade positioning block 1, a horizontal top block 2, a vertical lower top block 3 and a vertical upper top block 4.

[0034] The blade positioning block 1 is in an inverted T shape, and a disc structure 7 is provided at the bottom of the blade positioning block 1. The disc structure 7 is connected to the moving coil a of the vibration table through a screw e.

[0035] A plurality of mounting grooves are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the blade positioning block 1. Referring to Figure 3 、 4, the installation groove includes a communicating tenon groove I, a horizontal positioning groove II, and a vertical positioning groove III. The tenon groove I cooperates with the tenon of the blade b. In this embodiment, there are four installation grooves. The cross-section of the tenon groove I along the length axis is dovetail-shaped, the cross-section of the horizontal positioning groove II along the length axis is rectangular, and the cross-section of the vertical positioning groove III perpendicular to the length axis is trapezoidal. The tenon groove I and the horizontal positioning groove II are coaxial, and the length axis of the vertical positioning groove III is perpendicular to the length axis of the horizontal positioning groove II.

[0036] Referring to Figure 5 , 6 , one end of the horizontal top block 2 is located in the horizontal positioning groove II and cooperates with the bottom of the tenon of the blade b. Among them, the end of the horizontal top block 2 that cooperates with the bottom of the tenon of the blade b is a planar structure 21.

[0037] The vertical lower top block 3 and the vertical upper top block 4 are arranged on both sides of the horizontal top block 2 along the axis of the vertical positioning groove III. The vertical lower top block 3 and the vertical upper top block 4 are both in contact with the horizontal top block 2. The other end of the horizontal top block 2 extends out of the horizontal positioning groove II and is located in the vertical positioning groove III, and is provided with two symmetrical inclined plane structures 22, which cooperate with the vertical lower top block 3 and the vertical upper top block 4 respectively. The vertical upper top block 4 and the horizontal top block 2 are in contact with each other in an inclined plane manner, and the vertical lower top block 3 and the horizontal top block 2 are in contact with each other in an inclined plane manner.

[0038] The tensioning screw c is a two-way screw, and the vertical lower top block 3 and the vertical upper top block 4 are threadedly connected to different threaded sections of the tensioning screw c.

[0039] A spring d is provided between the vertical lower top block 3 and the vertical upper top block 4, and the spring d is sleeved on the outer wall of the tensioning screw c. Referring to Figure 7 , 8 , the vertical lower top block 3 is provided with a first stepped through hole 5, and the first stepped through hole 5 includes a communicating first hole 51 and a second hole 52. The diameter of the first hole 51 is larger than the diameter of the second hole 52; Referring to Figure 9 , 10 , the vertical upper top block 4 is provided with a second stepped through hole 6, and the second stepped through hole 6 includes a communicating third hole 61 and a fourth hole 62. The diameter of the third hole 61 is larger than the diameter of the fourth hole 62. The first hole 51 and the third hole 61 cooperate to form an installation hole, the spring d is located in the installation hole, and the first hole 51 and the fourth hole 62 are threadedly engaged with the tensioning screw c.

[0040] The implementation principle of a multi-blade synchronous random equivalent loading fatigue test device of the present invention is:

[0041] Before the test, fix the blade positioning block 1 on the moving coil a of the vibration table with eight screws e. Place the horizontal top block 2 in the horizontal positioning groove (Ⅱ) through the bottom surface of the mortise groove I. Place the vertical lower top block 3 at the bottom of the vertical positioning groove Ⅲ. Place the spring d in the third step through hole of the vertical lower top block 3. Place the vertical upper top block 4 in the upper part of the vertical positioning groove Ⅲ, and install the spring d into the fourth step through hole of the vertical upper top block 4. Pass the tensioning screw c through the step hole of the vertical upper top block 4 and cooperate with the threaded hole on the vertical lower top block 3.

[0042] During the test, install the tenon of the blade b in the mortise groove I of the blade positioning block 1. Use a torque-limiting wrench to rotate the tensioning screw c so that the vertical lower top block 3 moves upward along direction ②, and the vertical upper top block 4 moves downward along direction ③. Under the action of the inclined plane at the upper right corner of the vertical lower top block 3 and the inclined plane at the lower right corner of the vertical upper top block 4, the horizontal top block 2 moves along direction ①, and finally presses tightly against the tenon of the blade b to make the blade b reach a rigid holding state.

[0043] After the test is completed, loosen the tensioning screw c. The vertical upper top block 4 moves upward under the action of the spring d, thereby releasing the thrust on the horizontal top block 2, and the blade b is in a relaxed state and can be easily taken out. This device is a symmetric structure with four workstations, and the clamping process for each workstation is the same before the test. After ensuring that the blades b at all workstations are firmly clamped, finally turn on the vibration table to apply a narrowband random vibration load to the blades b to achieve the fatigue strength assessment of multiple blades b simultaneously.

[0044] A multi-blade synchronous random equivalent loading fatigue test device of the present invention enables multiple blade b test pieces to simultaneously feel the vibration load transmitted by the vibration tester, so that the load can accurately and truly act on the blades b to be tested, to simulate the boundary conditions endured in the engine working state, and finally achieve the purpose of assessing the fatigue strength of the blade b test pieces.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the technical solutions of the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art should understand that without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention, the technical solutions can be modified and replaced simply in several aspects, and these modifications and replacements also fall within the protection scope covered by the claims.
