[0052] Further referring to the drawings Figures 5-8 As shown in the drawings, considering the connection problem of the printed circuit board 401 in the blade simulation assembly and the driving motor 5, since the printed circuit board 401 is a relatively soft organic material and cannot be directly and stably connected with the driving motor 5, the intermediate piece 6 and the pressing plate 7 are designed, the printed circuit board 401 and the pressing plate 7 are sleeved on the intermediate piece 6, and the printed circuit board 401 is arranged at the lower end of the pressing plate 7, threaded mounting holes 401-1 are arranged on the pressing plate 7, the printed circuit board 401 and the intermediate piece 6, the threaded mounting holes 401-1 are used in cooperation with the bolts 8 to fix the pressing plate 7, the printed circuit board 401 and the intermediate piece 6 into an integral whole, and the stability of the connection between the printed circuit board 401 and the driving motor 5 is ensured; wherein the diameter of the bolt is 2.5 mm;

[0053] Referring to the drawings Figure 6As shown, a plurality of upper threaded holes 601 and lower threaded holes 602 are arranged on the middle piece 6, the upper threaded holes are matched with the first bolts to fix the middle piece 601 with the slip ring 3, and the lower threaded holes 602 are matched with the second bolts to fix the middle piece 601 with the output shaft of the driving motor 5; the driving motor 5 drives the middle piece 601 to rotate synchronously, the middle piece 601 drives the pressing plate 7 and the printed circuit board 401 to rotate synchronously, and the middle piece 601 also drives the slip ring 3 to rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the slip ring 3 does not affect the power supply; the purpose of the pressing plate 7 is to better make the printed circuit board 401 adhere to the middle piece 6, to ensure that the plane of the printed circuit board 401 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the driving motor 5, so as to reduce the vibration in the rotation process as much as possible.

[0054] Specifically, refer to the accompanying drawings Figures 2-3 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the shell 1 are provided with holes 101 which are communicated with the inner cavities of the shell 1, the holes 101 can reduce the weight of the shell 1, and the hole 101 at the upper end facilitates the observation of the running state inside the shell 1; a vertical hole 103 which is communicated with the inner cavity of the shell 1 is also arranged on the side of the shell 1, and the vertical hole 103 facilitates the multi-leaf high-radiation temperature measurement probe to enter the shell 1 to measure the temperature of the blade simulation assembly 4.

[0055] Specifically, refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown, the blade simulation assembly 4 includes a printed circuit board 401, a plurality of blade simulation tubes 402, and a plurality of current-limiting control resistors 403, in this embodiment, the blade simulation tubes 402 are 50, and the current-limiting control resistors 403 are 50; each current-limiting control resistor 403 corresponds to one blade simulation tube 402 and is used to control the corresponding blade simulation tube 402, the blade simulation tube 402 in this embodiment is a full-spectrum light source tungsten lamp tube which is welded on the printed circuit board 401 and radiates infrared light outward after being electrified, to realize the simulation of the state that the turbine blade radiates infrared light outward, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the printed circuit board 401 is electrified;

[0056] Further, the blade simulation tubes 402 and the current-limiting control resistors 403 are symmetrically arranged on the printed circuit board 401, the blade simulation tubes 402 are uniformly arranged on the outermost side of the surface of the printed circuit board 401, and the included angle between any two adjacent blade simulation tubes 402 is 7.2°; the current-limiting control resistors 403 are uniformly arranged on the inner side of the surface of the printed circuit board 401, and the current-limiting control resistors 403 are electrically connected with the blade simulation tubes 402, the radiation intensity of the blade simulation tubes 402 is controlled by the size of the current-limiting control resistors 403, so that different blade temperatures can be simulated;

Therefore, the radiation light intensity of the blade simulation tube 402 can be adjusted through the current, and during use, the blade simulation tubes 402 that are mutually symmetrical can be removed, and the blade simulation tubes 402 removed each time are double, so that the number of the blade simulation tubes 402 is changed to meet the temperature test of different numbers of blade simulation tubes 402;

[0058] The blade temperature determination device is an optical sensor, which is used in cooperation with the blade simulation device to determine the temperature of the current blade simulation device. The specific principle is that after the blade simulation device is started, the driving motor 5 drives the printed circuit board 401 to rotate, and the blade simulation tube 402 emits radiation light, which is collected by the optical sensor and converted into an electrical signal. Then, the experimenter determines the current temperature value of the simulation blade 402 through the corresponding relationship between the voltage value of the electrical signal and the temperature. Specifically, the 12V power supply is supplied by the slip ring 3, the input end of the slip ring 3 is connected with a cable, the cable is connected with the 12V power supply on the terminal, and is connected with the GND (grounding point);

[0059] Specifically, the blade rotation speed determination device includes a strong magnet, a Hall sensor, and a code table. The strong magnet is arranged on the blade simulation device. The Hall sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1 and is used to receive the electromagnetic pulse signal emitted by the strong magnet arranged on the printed circuit board 401. That is, the number of strong magnet signals received by the Hall sensor per second is the rotation speed of the printed circuit board 401. The code table is clamped on the upper end of the shell 1 through the square hole 102 on the shell 1 and is electrically connected with the Hall sensor, which is used to receive the electromagnetic pulse signal emitted by the Hall sensor and calculate and display the current rotation speed of the blade simulation device.

The strong magnet is arranged in a slot formed at the edge of the circuit board 401, and a part of the strong magnet is fixedly arranged in the slot. The Hall sensor is electrically connected with the 12V power supply and the GND on the terminal, and the 12V power supply is used to supply power to the Hall sensor.

[0060] The principle of determining the current rotation speed of the blade simulation tube 402 is that the Hall sensor transmits the electromagnetic pulse signal received per second to the code table through wired connection, and the code table calculates and displays the rotation speed of the blade simulation tube 402 for the staff to check the current rotation speed of the blade simulation tube 402. Wherein, the strong magnet passes through the Hall sensor once, and the Hall sensor receives a signal once.

[0062] The device can assist in the design and development of a multi-leaf high-radiation temperature meter. Specifically, the probe of a high-radiation pyrometer is inserted into the shell 1 through the vertical hole 103 and cooperates with the blade simulation device to realize the development of a multi-leaf high-radiation temperature meter. The specific function is that,

[0063] 1. Verify the correctness of the light path of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer. After the light path of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer is designed, the probe of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer directly detects the radiation light of the blade simulation tube 402. Through the reverse light experiment, the position of the light spot is compared to verify the correctness of the light path of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer.

[0064] 2. Verify the correctness of the software temperature field reconstruction algorithm of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer. By controlling the resistance value of each current limiting resistor 403, the radiation light intensity of the corresponding blade simulation tube 402 can be controlled, and the temperature corresponding to the radiation light intensity is changed. Through the different temperatures of each blade simulation tube 402, the software temperature field reconstruction of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer is verified. By comparing the image after temperature field reconstruction with the infrared camera image, the correctness of the algorithm is verified.

[0065] 3. Assist in verifying the rationality of the expansion mechanism and other mechanical structure design of the multi-leaf high-radiation pyrometer.
