[0002] As for aircraft engines, the function of the guide vanes in the engine is to increase the ability to withstand high temperatures. In addition to using highly heat-resistant materials, it also needs to inhale airflow to cool it. In order to enable the aircraft to accurately control the size of the cooling airflow during flight, the product must be tested for airflow flow under certain conditions before assembly. At present, whether it is the stator blades of gas turbine hot components or the guide vanes of aircraft engines, whether the airflow flow detection meets the standards is a very important link. However, taking the blades to the fixture to test the airflow will cause inaccurate detection due to airflow leakage, thereby affecting the reliability of the detection. At the same time, the test process requires the use of additional air intake devices, which affects the test efficiency and increases the labor cost of the test. Therefore, it is necessary to design a universal airflow fixture test assembly for gas turbines and aircraft engine stators. Summary of the Invention

Fixed on the top block 8, and the telescopic rod 5 is slidably connected in the rotating block 3, and the locking block 4 is connected to the telescopic rod 5 through a bolt in the groove opened on one side of the rotating block 3, and the locking block 4 is fitted on the telescopic rod 5, and a positioning block 6 is provided at one end of the telescopic rod 5, and a pressure clamp 7 is provided on the positioning block 6. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly installed at the top center of the upper disc 16, and a test blade 13 is provided on the top of the connecting plate 15. A channel opening 14 is opened on the test blade 13, and a liquid cast polyethylene two-component seal is fitted in the channel opening 14. Glue 12, liquid cast polyethylene two-component sealant 12 is sleeved in the fixture block 11, a sealing sheet 17 is provided at the bottom of the upper disc 16, and the bottom of the sealing sheet 17 is affixed to the lower disc 18, the lower disc 18 is fixed in a groove opened at the top of the mobile fixture platform 19, a vent pipe 20 is sleeved in the through hole opened in the lower disc 18, a closed door panel 21 is provided on the mobile fixture platform 19, and one end of the vent pipe 20 is sleeved in the through hole in the closed door panel 21, the sealing sheet 17 is provided to improve the sealing performance of the test assembly;

[0022] Specifically, when in use, the blade clamp sealing structure composed of the clamp block 11, liquid cast polyethylene two-component sealant 12 and test blade 13 is installed on the connecting plate 15, and the connecting plate 15 is locked and fixed on the upper disc 16. Since the gas turbine stator blades and the aeroengine guide vane blades are different products, the connecting plate 15 plays a conversion role, so that the products of the two fields can be shared, which improves the applicability of the test assembly; after the blade clamp sealing structure is installed, the rotating and telescopic structure composed of the rotating rod 1, the fixing bolt 2, the rotating block 3, the locking block 4, the telescopic rod 5, the positioning block 6 and the pressure clamp 7 is adjusted.

The channel opening 14 serves as the air inlet channel at the bottom of the test blade 13. The sealing plate 17 is used to seal the channel opening 14 and the entire sealing structure, so that the air flow flows into the test blade 13 through the channel opening 14.

After the air flow enters the test blade 13, it is poured into each pore. At this time, the air outlet of the test blade 13 is blocked by the liquid cast polyethylene two-component sealant 12 above, thereby achieving the effect of accurately detecting the air flow rate of the test blade 13.
