Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of turbine blade film film hole processing technology, specifically to a turbine blade film film hole detection device and detection method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main methods for detecting the permeability of air film pores in turbine blades include high-pressure water flow and cold light source human eye recognition, each with its own characteristics.
[0003] The high-pressure water testing method involves filling the hollow blade with high-pressure water using specialized equipment. The water is then ejected through the film cooling vents, and the permeability of the vents is determined by observing the ejected water column. However, the water column ejected from the turbine blade's film cooling vents is dense and transparent, making it easy to confuse the two methods. The cold light source human eye identification method involves placing a cold light source inside the hollow blade and observing whether the film cooling vents are transparent to determine their permeability. However, during testing, the part is placed in natural light, and the cold light source and natural light can easily cause confusion. Furthermore, this method is highly random and susceptible to human error, leading to potential testing errors.

[0047] This invention provides a rapid turbine blade film porosity detection device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air film pore detection device includes: detection device base 1, energy storage battery 2, rotating base 3, enclosure 4, clamping fixture 5, and high-intensity light 6.
[0048] The detection device base 1 has a hollow structure, and an energy storage battery 2 is installed inside the detection device base 1. The energy storage battery 2 is connected to a high-intensity lamp 6 to provide power. In this embodiment, the illumination intensity of the high-intensity lamp is in the range of 100 to 550 lx. In this embodiment, the diameter of the air film pore is in the range of 0.2-1 mm.
[0049] The detection device base 1 has a groove, and the bottom of the rotating base 3 has a boss. A bearing is installed inside the groove, and the boss cooperates with the inner ring of the bearing. The rotating base 3 is rotatably connected to the detection device base 1 through the bearing. The rotating base 3 is used to fix the clamping fixture 5. The part is fixed on the clamping fixture 5.

The top of the column has a thread, and the wing nut is threaded into the column for clamping the turbine blades. The clamping fixture 5 is fixed on the rotating base 3 and is used for fixing and positioning parts.
[0051] The main function of the enclosure 4 is to create a relatively dark environment.
[0052] The high-intensity lamp 6 primarily provides light energy. During the transparency testing of a part, the high-intensity lamp 6 needs to be placed inside the part's cavity. The intense light passes through the film membrane aperture, indicating that the aperture is open. In this embodiment, the high-intensity lamp 6 is fixed to the top of the telescopic rod, which is fixed at the center of the rotating base 3, used to adjust the illumination position of the high-intensity lamp 6. The high-intensity lamp 6 is positioned at the center of the turbine blade.
[0053] This invention also provides a method for rapid detection of film pores in turbine blades. The detection method is implemented using the aforementioned film pore detection device, and the method includes:

Before fixing the vane to the fixture, a high-intensity light 6 is installed in an appropriate position, allowing the light source to be placed inside the hollow vane cavity. The upper part of the enclosure 4 is then secured, placing the part in a dark environment. The high-intensity light 6 is then turned on to provide strong illumination.
