Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compressor and turbine blade processing and inspection, and relates to a method for evaluating the roughness of the leading and trailing edges of blades. Background Technology

[0002] Blade surface quality parameters account for a significant proportion of the many factors influencing compressor and turbine performance, with surface roughness being a key characteristic parameter. The leading and trailing edges of blades have unique geometries, making it impossible to evaluate their roughness parameters using traditional roughness assessment methods based on standards such as ISO 4287-2009. Furthermore, HB 5647-48 does not explicitly specify blade roughness detection methods, and currently, there is no effective method for measuring and evaluating the roughness of blades with such unique shapes. For surface profiles with excessive curvature, contact roughness measurement equipment cannot measure or evaluate them. Non-contact roughness measurement equipment can measure surface profiles with large curvature, but a mature roughness evaluation method is lacking. If the surface quality parameters of the blade's leading and trailing edges exceed tolerances, and there are no clear detection methods or accurate evaluation methods, it is impossible to determine roughness compliance and to identify the direction of process and design iterations. In mass production of blades, experience and visual inspection are often used to detect the roughness of the blade's leading and trailing edges, lacking accurate evaluation methods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for evaluating the surface roughness of the leading and trailing edges of blades. This method enables the assessment of surface roughness at the leading and trailing edges of workpieces with complex curved surface features, thereby optimizing blades and improving blade prototyping and processing techniques. This invention features high reliability, strong operability, high credibility of test results, and small measurement errors.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] This invention discloses a method for evaluating the roughness of the leading and trailing edges of a blade, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Measure the collected blade profile point cloud C i (x ci y ci , z ci Data segmentation was performed to obtain the leading and trailing edge measurement data C of the blade. 1i (x ci y ci , z ci );

[0007] Step 2: Use the rotation and translation matrix [RT] to process the blade leading and trailing edge measurement data C. 1i (x ci yci , z ci Transform the data to a specific spatial coordinate plane to obtain aligned point cloud data, denoted as D. i (x di y di ,1); simplified to D i (x di y di );

[0008] Step 3: Obtain dataset D from Step 2 i (x di y di The shapes of the leading and trailing edges of the blades were removed to obtain the dataset PD. i (x ei y ei );

[0009] Step 4: Process the dataset PD i (x ei y ei Data signal enhancement is performed to obtain the enhanced dataset RD. i (x ri y ri );

[0010] Step 5: Apply roughness standard specifications to the RD dataset. i (x ri y ri The roughness parameters are evaluated to obtain the roughness parameters of the leading and trailing edges of the blade, thus realizing the surface roughness evaluation of the leading and trailing edges of the blade's complex curved surface. These parameters include the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile, the maximum height Rz of the profile, and the average width Rsm of the profile element.

[0011] Furthermore, the geometric shape of the leading and trailing edges of the blade is approximately a semi-elliptical shape with a > 2b.

[0012] Furthermore, the data segmentation method described in step 1 involves connecting the longest chord of the blade profile and extracting 4% from each end of the longest chord as the leading and trailing edges of the blade.

[0013] Furthermore, the method of aligning using the rotation and translation matrix [RT] in step 2 is as follows: Let the Z-direction normal vector k in C1 be... c =1. That is

[0014] D[x di y di ,1,1] T =[RT]·C1(x ci y ci , z ci ,1) T

[0015]

[0016] Where R is the rotation matrix, T is the translation matrix, and θ is the rotation angle.

[0017] Furthermore, in step 3, the B-spline curve f(x, y) is fitted using theoretical values ​​of the leading and trailing edges of the blade. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0018] For discrete point data D at the leading and trailing edges i (x di y di Calculate the chord length at each point, and add control points V0, V1, V2, ..., V n Perform N B-spline interpolations, where N = 3, then we have:

[0019] x i =(1 / 6)[t 3 V i+2 (x)+(-3t 3 +3t 2 +3t+1)V i+1 (x)+(3t 3 -6t 2 +4)V i (x)+(-t 3 +3t 2 -3t+1)V i-1 (x)

[0020] y i =(1 / 6)[t 3 V i+2 (y)+(-3t 3 +3t 2 +3t+1)V i+1 (y)+(3t 3 -6t 2 +4)V i (y)+(-t 3 +3t 2 -3t+1)V i-1 (y)

[0021] Where V i (x), V i (y) is the x of the point i y i Coordinates, where t is the arc length parameter.

[0022] Then, the deviation relative to the fitted curve is calculated, where, the deviation PD relative to the fitted curve is then calculated. i (x ei y ei ) = D i (xdi y di )-f(x,y), to get xx ei To fix the sampling step size (0.5μm or 0.25μm), y di This represents the error value. Therefore, the discrete dataset PD i (x ei y ei It can be abbreviated as D(n);

[0023] Furthermore, in step 4, a transformation function is designed and a discrete dataset D(n) is subjected to a convolution operation to obtain the enhanced dataset RD(n).

[0024]

[0025] Furthermore, in step 5, λ is selected using the relationship between Rsm and the roughness evaluation length. c Contour filter and λ s Contour filter, with λ c The surface profile obtained by filtering is the roughness evaluation centerline.

[0027] 1. This invention discloses a method for evaluating the surface roughness of a blade's leading and trailing edges. The method involves segmenting and aligning the blade profile point cloud data obtained from a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The three-dimensional point cloud dataset of the blade's leading and trailing edges is multiplied by a rotation and translation matrix to transform it into a two-dimensional point cloud dataset. Next, the blade profile contour is removed to obtain the measured data of the blade's leading and trailing edges. Signal enhancement processing is then performed on this data feature set. Finally, an algorithmic evaluation and analysis of the blade's leading and trailing edge roughness is conducted to calculate roughness parameters such as Ra, Rz, and Rsm. This enables the evaluation of surface roughness parameters for workpieces with special complex curved surfaces.

[0035] Blade profile measurement point cloud C i (x ci y ci , z ci Data acquired by a coordinate measuring machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the specific implementation steps of the blade leading and trailing edge roughness evaluation method disclosed in this embodiment are as follows:

[0036] Step 1: Measure the collected blade profile point cloud C i (x ci y ci , z ci Data segmentation was performed to obtain the leading and trailing edge measurement data C of the blade. 1i (x ci y ci , z ci );

[0037] Among them, the longest chord of the blade profile is connected, and 4% of each end of the longest chord is taken as the leading and trailing edges of the blade to complete the data segmentation.

[0038] Step 2: Use the rotation and translation matrix [RT] to transfer the blade leading and trailing edge measurement data C 1i (x ci y ci , z ci Transform the data to a specific spatial coordinate plane to obtain aligned point cloud data, denoted as D.i (x di y di ,1); can be simplified to D i (x di y di ),in

[0039] The method of alignment using the rotation and translation matrix [RT] is as follows: Let the Z-direction normal vector k in C1 be... c =1. That is

[0040] D[x di ,y di ,1,1] T =[RT]·C1(x ci ,y ci ,z ci ,1) T

[0041]

[0042] Where R is the rotation matrix, T is the translation matrix, and θ is the rotation angle.

[0043] Step 3: Considering the special geometry (large curvature) of the leading and trailing edges of the blade, this surface profile has a significant impact on the accuracy of the roughness evaluation results. Using dataset D... i (x di y di Since roughness parameters cannot be directly evaluated, the shapes of the leading and trailing edges of the blade are removed to obtain the dataset PD. i (x ei y ei The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0044] Using theoretical values ​​of the leading and trailing edges of the blade, a B-spline curve f(x, y) is fitted, targeting discrete point data D at the leading and trailing edges. i (x di y di Calculate the chord length at each point, and add control points V0, V1, V2, ..., V n Perform N B-spline interpolations, where N = 3, then we have:

[0045] x i =(1 / 6)[t 3 V i+2 (x)+(-3t 3 +3t 2 +3t+1)V i+1 (x)+(3t 3 -6t 2 +4)V i (x)+(-t 3 +3t2 -3t+1)V i-1 (x)

[0047] Where V i (x), V i (y) is the x of the point i y i Coordinates, where t is the arc length parameter.

[0048] Then, the deviation relative to the fitted curve is calculated, where, the deviation PD relative to the fitted curve is then calculated. i (x ei y ei ) = D i (x di y di )-f(x,y), to get xx ei To fix the sampling step size (0.5μm or 0.25μm), y di This represents the error value. Therefore, the discrete dataset PD i (x ei y ei It can be abbreviated as D(n);

[0049] Step 4: Considering the influence of measurement methods during point cloud data acquisition, the measured point cloud data is distorted in reflecting the true surface contour of the workpiece. Therefore, for the PD dataset... i (x ei y ei Data signal enhancement is performed to obtain the enhanced dataset RD. i (x ri y ri );

[0050] Design a transformation function and a discrete dataset D(n); perform a convolution operation to obtain the enhanced dataset RD(n).

[0052] Step 5: Apply roughness standard specifications to the RD dataset. i (x ri y ri Roughness parameters are evaluated. The roughness parameters of the leading and trailing edges of the blade are obtained; these parameters include Ra (arithmetic mean deviation of the profile), Rz (maximum height of the profile), and Rsm (average width of the profile element).

[0053] Based on relevant surface roughness standards and specifications, λ is selected using the relationship between Rsm and the surface roughness evaluation length. c Contour filter and λ s Contour filter, with λ c The surface profile obtained by filtering is the roughness evaluation centerline.

This method meets the technical requirements for surface roughness detection at the leading and trailing edges of blades with special geometric features and solves related engineering problems.
