Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for repairing aero - engines, in particular to a tooling for repairing the flow passage of an axial flow casing of an aero - engine and its using method. Background Technique
[0002] The axial flow casing of a certain type of aero - engine is of a split - type structure, and the blank is made of an integral casting. Its structure is as Figure 1 shown. After installation, a first inner flow passage 1, a second inner flow passage 2, a third inner flow passage 3, and a fourth inner flow passage 5 with different inner diameters are formed. Among them, a plurality of stator vane mounting holes 10 are circumferentially arranged on the second inner flow passage 2. A T - shaped second - stage stator vane mounting groove 4 is formed between the third inner flow passage 3 and the fourth inner flow passage 5. A T - shaped third - stage stator vane mounting groove 7 is formed between the fourth inner flow passage 5 and the tail - side end 6. And Al - Si coatings are applied to the inner walls of the first inner flow passage 1, the third inner flow passage 3, and the fourth inner flow passage 5. When machining the inner flow passage of the above - mentioned aero - engine axial flow casing, a set of data points is used for control, and the numerical control turning method is adopted. Whether the processed size is accurate is particularly important for controlling the performance parameters of the compressor. In actual machining, due to factors such as machining operation errors and deformation of thin - wall parts, the inner flow passage is out - of - tolerance. After scanning and measuring the flow passage of the casing assembly, it is found that the overall size of the flow passage deviates outward from the theoretical value by about 0.15 - 0.20 mm, and the overall flow passage expands outward from the theoretical value, which greatly affects the performance parameters of the compressor. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a tooling for repairing the flow passage of an aero - engine axial flow casing that is easy to assemble and convenient to operate, and its using method.
[0004] To solve the above - mentioned technical problem, the tooling for repairing the flow passage of an aero - engine axial flow casing provided by the present invention includes a first protection ring adapted to the second - stage stator vane mounting groove, a second protection ring adapted to the third - stage stator vane mounting groove, a spigot protection ring, and a plurality of plugs adapted to the stator vane mounting holes. The outer wall of the first protection ring has a small - clearance fit with the inner wall of the second - stage stator vane mounting groove. The outer wall of the second protection ring has a small - clearance fit with the inner wall of the third - stage stator vane mounting groove. The spigot protection ring is sleeved on the left - end spigot of the axial flow casing. During assembly, glue is used to adhesively fix between the first protection ring and the inner wall of the second - stage stator vane mounting groove, and between the second protection ring and the inner wall of the third - stage stator vane mounting groove. The plug and the stator vane mounting hole are adhesively fixed with glue.
[0005] Furthermore, the first protection ring is composed of two first half - ring bodies of the same structure spliced together, and the second protection ring is composed of two second half - ring bodies of the same structure spliced together.
[0006] Furthermore, the first half - ring body, the second half - ring body, the plug, and the spigot protection ring are obtained by turning aluminum alloy.
[0007] The usage method of the tooling for repairing the flow passage of the axial casing of an aero-engine includes the following steps. First, insert two first half-rings into the second-stage stator vane installation groove, and apply glue between the first half-ring and the second-stage stator vane installation groove. The first half-rings form a first protective ring. Insert two second half-rings into the third-stage stator vane installation groove, and apply glue between the second half-ring and the third-stage stator vane installation groove. The second half-rings form a second protective ring. Each plug is bonded to the stator vane installation hole with glue to close the stator vane installation hole. Fix the spigot protective ring at the left end spigot of the axial casing. Remove the Al-Si coating on the inner walls of the first inner flow passage, the third inner flow passage, and the fourth inner flow passage until the metal matrix is exposed. Blast the metal processing surface to be sprayed to reduce the surface roughness, and then perform overall secondary spraying on the flow passage. Then, reprocess the first inner flow passage, the third inner flow passage, and the fourth inner flow passage by numerical control machining to ensure the flow passage size requirements. Through the protection of the tooling for repairing the casing flow passage, combined with the overall spraying process, the over-tolerance of the inner flow passage size of the axial casing is repaired and reprocessed.
[0008] Technical effects of the invention: (1) The tooling for repairing the flow passage of the axial casing of an aero-engine according to the present invention ensures the feasibility of the overall secondary spraying repair scheme for the coating of the inner flow passage of the casing, protects the precision dimensions from being damaged, and greatly improves the spraying efficiency compared with the prior art. The first protective ring and the second protective ring are obtained by combining half-rings, which are easy to assemble. (2) The first protective ring, the second protective ring, and the plugs are all fixed by gluing with glue, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly. (3) The first half-ring, the second half-ring, the plugs, and the spigot protective ring are made of aluminum alloy material, which can prevent the parts from being bruised.
