Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to aero-engine bore test, realizes aero-engine bore test experiment, and comprehensively develops and improves existing aero-engine bore test technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] An aero-engine is the main power source for a plane to fly. Since it works in a high-temperature, high-pressure and high-vibration environment for a long time, and a high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine is prone to sucking in stones, parts left by a plane, birds and other foreign objects near a runway and taxiway during the process of takeoff, landing and taxiing of the plane, the aero-engine is prone to failure. Severe engine failure will cause engine surge or parking in the air, which greatly threatens flight safety. Regular inspection of the engine or visual maintenance after an emergency can ensure the continuous airworthiness of the plane, improve the daily utilization rate of the plane, save maintenance costs, and increase the economic benefits of an airline. Internal component and structural damage is an important cause of failure of the aero-engine, and internal damage of the engine is usually detected by a non-destructive testing method. Common non-destructive testing methods include magnetic powder detection, penetration detection, eddy current detection, ultrasonic detection, ray detection and bore test (endoscopy). The bore test is the most widely used non-destructive testing method in the maintenance of the aero-engine at present due to its rapidity and convenience, and scholars at home and abroad have also conducted in-depth research on the bore test technology. However, the research results are difficult to apply to engineering practice. An important reason is the lack of corresponding aero-engine bore test verification. A real aero-engine is expensive and its core engine is difficult to disassemble and customize, so it is extremely important to design and manufacture an aero-engine simulation tester capable of meeting the bore test research. However, the existing aero-engine bore test research devices generally have one or several of the following deficiencies: no casing, only engine rotor part or no stator blade part; no real aero-engine core engine basic structure, only simple structure such as a blade disc; integration of the blade and the blade disc, which cannot replace and preform defects on the blade; position limitation between the casing and the rotor, which is not convenient for bore test equipment to take pictures for bore test, etc. SUMMARY
