DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , 2 .

[0028] Example 1

[0029] The turbine blade of the present invention comprises a blade body 1, wherein the trailing edge section 101, the pressure surface 102 and the blade root 103 of the blade body 1 are respectively provided with a plurality of special-shaped air outlet holes A, and the special-shaped air outlet holes A comprise a cylindrical air inlet section A1 and a trumpet-shaped outlet expansion section A2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the special-shaped air outlet hole A on the trailing edge section 101 is arranged along the length direction of the blade body 1, the special-shaped air outlet hole A on the pressure surface 102 is arranged along the curved extension direction of the pressure surface 102, and the special-shaped air outlet hole A on the blade root 103 is arranged from the leading edge section toward the middle section.

[0031] In this embodiment, the special-shaped air outlet holes A on the trailing edge section 101 are arranged in multiple rows along the length direction of the blade body 1 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the special-shaped air outlet holes A on the blade root portion 103 are arranged in two rows from the leading edge section 104 toward the middle section 105 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the angle formed between the generatrix of the outlet extension section A2 and the axis of the air inlet section A1 is 3°.

[0034] In this embodiment, the taper of the special-shaped air outlet hole A is 3°.

[0035] In this embodiment, the average aperture of the special-shaped air outlet holes A on the trailing edge section 101 is 0.85 mm.

[0036] In this embodiment, the average aperture of the irregular-shaped air outlet holes A on the pressure surface 102 is 0.85 mm.

[0037] In this embodiment, the average aperture of the special-shaped air outlet holes A on the blade root portion 103 is 0.80 mm.

[0038] A method for processing a special-shaped vent hole comprises the following steps:

[0039] S1. Processing the outlet section A1 of the special-shaped outlet hole A on the blade body 1 by an electrospark machining method; in this step, metal is removed by electrospark discharge to form a predetermined hole profile. Since electrospark machining is suitable for high-hardness materials, electrospark machining can be applied to areas with higher hardness of the turbine blade (such as the alloy matrix) to quickly remove materials and preliminarily form a hole profile;

[0040] S2. Apply protective paint to the processing position of the corresponding special-shaped air outlet hole A of the blade body 1;

[0041] S3. The outlet extension section A2 of the special-shaped outlet hole A is processed by laser; in this step, the high processing precision of laser processing can accurately control the aperture, hole shape and surface quality as needed;

[0042] S4. Surface treatment and finishing of the hole wall of the special-shaped outlet hole A. In this step, after laser finishing, the hole wall of the cooling hole is further surface treated, such as laser deburring and deoxidation, to ensure that the hole wall is smooth and free of overheating damage. This step can further improve the surface quality of the cooling hole and reduce the blockage of the cooling fluid channel caused by high surface roughness during the actual use of the blade.

[0043] Taking the processing of a special-shaped hole with a diameter of 0.85 mm as an example, some steps are as follows:

[0044] Clamp the blade on the tooling;

[0045] Process the air inlet section A1, perform five-axis calibration, camera center inspection, cross punching, and energy testing on the equipment. After the test, start processing a straight hole with a diameter of 0.85mm. Processing method: circular cutting, each pulse energy: 3-4J frequency: 10-25HZ pulse duration: 1.5-2s focal length: 2-3mm, nozzle model: Nozzle STK3 F200 M32Φ2.0-28L158 process gas: oxygen, air pressure: 4-7bar;

[0046] Laser repair of non-through holes in workpieces, using non-detection repair mode, and using small energy to repair holes after aligning the hole position. Each pulse energy: 1-2J frequency: 10-25HZ pulse duration: 1-1.5s focal length: 2-3mm, nozzle model: Nozzl e STK3 F200 M32Φ2.0-28L158 process gas: oxygen, pressure: 4-7bar;

[0047] Process the outlet extension section A2, perform five-axis calibration, camera center inspection, cross punching, and energy testing on the equipment. After the test, start processing the forming hole with a diameter of 0.85mm. Energy ratio: 20-33 Pulse width: 150-300ns Frequency: 60-80Hz Processing speed: 600-630mm / min Focal length: 0;

[0048] The cross section of the special-shaped vent hole A obtained by final processing is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the remelted layer on its inner surface is about 11 microns.
