AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to effectively process small compressor slotted casings, especially in small space conditions where processing is difficult and costly.
The process employs a step-by-step method, first machining the metal blank into a metal casing, then machining micro-grooves on the inner wall surface, embedding the mold, applying resin material and curing it, and finally forming the inner surface through electrical discharge machining. The mold is matched with the slotted casing.
While ensuring accuracy, we shorten the manufacturing cycle, reduce costs, and realize the processing of compressor casings for small-space testing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compressor casing processing technology, and more specifically to a processing method for a slotted compressor casing suitable for small-space testing. Background Technology
[0002] The function of an air compressor is to compress incoming air, increasing its pressure and temperature to meet the demands of the downstream combustion chamber. Due to the compressor's operating function, the internal flow is under a strong adverse pressure gradient, making it prone to flow separation. Combined with the complex flow at the rotor blade tip clearances, this can easily lead to compressor stall. Slotted treatment casings are a passive control method to improve compressor stability; however, their stability enhancement mechanism is not yet fully understood. Experimental methods are one of the most effective ways to study the stability enhancement performance and mechanism of treatment casings.
[0003] However, due to the increasing diversity of cross-sectional shapes of slotted compressor casings, the difficulty and cost of testing and manufacturing have increased. This is especially true for small compressors, where the internal operating space is further compressed, further increasing the manufacturing difficulty.
[0004] Therefore, providing a processing method for a slotted casing of a compressor suitable for small-space testing is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a processing method for a slit-type treatment casing of a compressor for small-space testing, which enables the processing of the treatment casing of a compressor for small-space testing while ensuring the processing accuracy of the treatment casing, thereby shortening the manufacturing cycle and saving costs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for manufacturing a slotted casing for a compressor used in small-space testing includes the following sequential steps:
[0008] 1) Machining the metal blank into a metal casing;
[0009] 2) Micro-grooves are machined on the inner wall surface of the metal casing;
[0010] 3) Mold manufacturing: The mold is matched with the pre-set slot size of the slot processing casing, and the number of molds is the same as the number of slots in the pre-set slot processing casing;
[0011] 4) Insert multiple molds into multiple micro-grooves in the metal casing;
[0012] 5) Apply resin material to the inner wall of the metal casing until the coating thickness is greater than the height of the mold. After the resin material is left to stand and cure for 24 hours, it will adhere to the inner wall of the metal casing to form a resin casing.
[0013] 6) The inner wall of the resin casing is machined into a pre-designed inner surface for testing, and the mold is machined to be flush with the inner surface.
[0014] 7) The mold is sintered using electrical discharge machining (EDM) to complete the test piece processing.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] By processing the casing in two parts, inner and outer, respectively, the processing of the compressor casing for small-space testing can be achieved while ensuring the processing accuracy of the casing, thus shortening the manufacturing cycle and saving costs.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 3), the height of the mold is greater than the pre-set slit height of the slit processing casing plus the height of the micro-groove.
[0018] Furthermore, the metal blank is a steel blank or an aluminum blank.
[0019] Furthermore, the cross-section of the seam is rectangular, semi-circular, streamlined, or zigzag. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this embodiment of the invention discloses a processing method for a slotted casing of a compressor used in small-space testing, comprising the following sequential steps:
[0025] 1) The metal blank is processed into a metal casing 1; in this embodiment, the metal blank is a steel blank or an aluminum blank, and the processing method is turning, milling, etc. The inner diameter and outer diameter of the metal casing 1 meet the test requirements.
[0026] 2) Micro-grooves 11 are machined on the inner wall surface of the metal casing 1;
[0027] 3) Mold manufacturing: The mold 2 matches the slot size of the preset slot processing casing, and the number of molds 2 is the same as the number of slots 3 of the preset slot processing casing; in this embodiment, the height of mold 2 is greater than the height of slot 3 of the preset slot processing casing + the height of micro groove 11.
[0028] 4) Insert multiple molds 2 into multiple micro grooves 11 of the metal casing 1 to ensure that they will not loosen during subsequent turning; so that the subsequent resin material has a larger contact area with the inner wall of the metal casing 1.
[0029] 5) Apply resin material to the inner wall of metal casing 1 until the coating thickness is greater than the height of mold 2. After 24 hours of static curing, the resin material adheres to the inner wall of metal casing 1 to form resin casing 4. The use of resin material reduces weight on the one hand and prevents scratching with rotor blades on the other.
[0030] 6) The inner wall surface of the resin casing 4 is machined into a pre-designed inner surface for testing, and a certain degree of smoothness is ensured. At the same time, the mold 2 is turned to be flush with the inner surface. The inner wall surface of the resin casing 4 is machined by turning.
[0031] 7) The mold 2 was sintered by electric spark, and the test piece was completed.
[0032] This invention processes the casing into inner and outer parts sequentially, thereby enabling the processing of compressor casings for small-space testing while ensuring the processing accuracy of the casing, thus shortening the manufacturing cycle and saving costs.
[0033] Specifically, the cross-section of seam 3 is rectangular, semi-circular, streamlined, or zigzag. In this embodiment, the cross-section of seam 3 is rectangular.
