Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of aero-engine blade measurement, and in particular to a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a boss and a measuring method. Background Art

[0002] Low-pressure rotor blades with bosses are widely used in the field of aviation engines. During the operation of the engine, the blades are affected by complex alternating loads from the outside world. The blade vibration-damping bosses are connected into a ring shape, restricting each other and increasing each other's rigidity. When the blades vibrate, the boss joint surfaces rub against each other, which plays a damping and vibration-reducing role to a certain extent.

[0003] This type of blade with boss has experienced boss misalignment failures many times during flight use. In order to effectively ensure the matching relationship of the low-pressure rotor blades, the chord width of the boss blade needs to be restored by "welding + machining" within a single life cycle. After restoration, it must meet the requirements of the blade manufacturing drawings. Therefore, this dimension needs to be effectively measured after machining. However, this dimension is the spatial dimension between two virtual points in the blade, which cannot be measured directly and can only be obtained in the form of three-coordinate programming. The three-coordinate measurement process of a single blade takes 30 minutes per piece, which cannot meet the production cycle requirements. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a measuring tool and a measuring method for the chord width of a boss of a low-pressure rotor blade with a boss.

[0011] Optionally, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning member and a positioning pin, the positioning member is fixed to the base plate by the positioning pin, and the height of the positioning member is lower than the height of the fixing seat.

[0012] The present application is also based on a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a boss, and provides a method for measuring the chord width of a low-pressure rotor blade boss with a boss, comprising the following steps: S1. Clamp the standard part onto a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a boss and align it to zero; S2. Clamp the blade to be tested onto a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a shoulder and measure it using a micrometer; S3.

[0013] Optionally, in S1, the metrological data of the standard part is entered into the online measuring platform, and then the standard part is clamped by the tenon locking mechanism, and then the handle is turned to make the eccentric wheel descend the boss in a free state and place it in the basin-toward boss bottom surface positioning part position, and check whether there is a gap between the standard part and the positioning part. If there is no gap, manually drag the measured boss surface micrometer value in a cross shape until the jump is ≤0.010 mm, and return the digital micrometer to zero.

[0014] Optionally, in S2, the standard part is removed, and the blade to be measured is clamped and measured in the same way as the standard part. The digital dial gauge measures the difference between the actual value of the standard part and the actual value. Click OK, and the dial gauge value is transmitted to the online measurement platform through the data line. The platform calculates the chord width result according to the preset value.

[0022] The purpose of this design is to provide a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a shoulder, which can quickly locate the blade. According to the boss chord width definition in the blade drawing, the blade angle conversion is realized by relying on the tenon positioning and the measuring platform pad. The distance relationship between virtual points in space is converted into the distance between measuring surfaces. The difference is measured by numerical comparison with standard parts, and the actual value of the boss chord width is calculated through the online measurement platform to determine whether the measured data meets the process requirements, so as to ensure the matching relationship between the bosses after the blade is assembled and effectively reduce engine vibration.

[0023] In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism includes a handle 3, an eccentric wheel 13 and a fixing seat 5, and one end of the handle 3 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 1, and the other end of the handle 3 is inserted into the bottom plate 1 and connected to the eccentric wheel 13; The eccentric wheel 13 is disposed below the fixing seat 5 and is located inside the bottom plate 1, and the eccentric wheel 13 can adjust the height of the fixing seat 5; The fixing seat 5 is used to fix the tenon locking mechanism and is located on the bottom plate 1 .

[0024] At the same time, guide members 16 are provided on both sides of the fixing seat 5; Furthermore, the guide member 16 is in an "L" shape; At the same time, the guide member 16 is detachably connected to the base plate 1 through the screw 15 and the cylindrical pin 14; Furthermore, the tenon locking mechanism includes a nut 4, a screw rod 17, a stop pin 12 and a pressure plate 19; The screw 17 is inserted into the top of the fixing seat 5, and the screw 17 can push the pressing plate 19, and one end of the screw 17 is connected to the nut 4; The pressing plate 19 can clamp the standard part 6 with the fixing seat 5; The nut 4 is arranged outside the fixing seat 5; The limit pin 12 is arranged on the fixing seat 5 and faces the positioning mechanism.

[0025] Meanwhile, the positioning mechanism comprises a positioning member 8 and a positioning pin. The positioning member 8 is fixed on the bottom plate 1 through the positioning pin, and the height of the positioning member 8 is lower than the height of the fixing seat 5 .

[0026] It should be pointed out that, in order to ensure that the entire base plate can be placed stably, supporting feet 7 are provided below the base plate 1 .

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure and chord width definition of a low-pressure rotor blade with a boss. Based on this and according to a chord width measuring tool for a low-pressure rotor blade boss with a shoulder, a method for measuring the chord width of a low-pressure rotor blade boss with a shoulder is provided, comprising the following steps: S1. Clamp the standard part onto a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a boss and align it to zero; S2. Clamp the blade to be tested onto a low-pressure rotor blade boss chord width measuring tool with a shoulder and measure it using a micrometer; S3. Preset the chord width data range in the online measurement platform, automatically calculate and judge whether it is qualified.

[0028] The purpose of this design is to provide an adaptive measurement method with the measuring tool, which is efficient, precise and traceable. The chord width of the low-pressure rotor blade with a boss is measured. By comparing with the three-coordinate measurement value, the numerical error is ≤0.01 mm, and the measurement efficiency is improved by 96%.

[0029] In the specific usage scenario, first enter the measurement value of the standard part (82.120 mm) into the online measurement platform, then place the standard part 6 in the tenon locking device, use the nut 4, pressure plate 9, and limit pin 12 to position and clamp the tenon of the standard part, turn the handle 3, so that the eccentric wheel 13 is placed in the free state of the lower boss and placed at the position of the positioning part 8 on the bottom surface of the basin boss, check whether there is a gap between the standard part 6 and the positioning part 8, if there is no gap, manually drag the measured boss surface micrometer value jump ≤0.010mm in a cross shape, and return the digital micrometer to zero. Then remove standard part 6, clamp and measure the blade to be measured in the same way as standard part 6. The difference between the actual value of the digital micrometer and the standard part is -0.020 mm. Click OK, and the micrometer value is transmitted to the online measurement platform through the data line. The platform calculates the chord width according to the preset result, which is 82.092 mm.

[0030] Finally, the qualified data range of chord width 82.070~82.120 mm is preset in the online measurement platform. 82.092 mm meets the qualified process chord width data, the value is green, and the product is a qualified part. At this time, loosen nut 4, take out the measured blade, and continue to measure the next blade without re-calibrating the standard part 6. Since the qualified tolerance range is small, in order to prevent the digital display micrometer from running and causing measurement errors, the standard part needs to be re-confirmed after measuring every 5 blades.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
