[0002] Aircraft engines are hailed as the jewel in the crown of modern industry, and the compressor is one of their primary components. A compressor is a mechanical device that transmits mechanical energy to the gas, completing the compression process of the gas working fluid in the engine's thermodynamic cycle to increase gas pressure. Compressor blades, as core engine components, account for approximately 30% of the total engine production. The manufacturing quality of the blades (dimensional accuracy, form and position tolerances, and surface quality of complex surfaces) directly impacts the engine's aerodynamic performance and service life. The characteristics of thin-walled aircraft blades and their complex spatial geometry affect their machining accuracy and surface quality to a certain extent. Detecting blade defects and ensuring high-quality production have become critical issues that urgently need to be addressed in the aviation manufacturing industry. Currently, aircraft engine compressor rotor blades are primarily inspected using manually operated portable ultrasonic surface wave flaw detectors. These flaws present technical challenges such as low automation and subjective test results. Both inspection efficiency and intelligence need to be further improved.

[0003] Therefore, conducting research and application of high-precision detection equipment and methods with multi-technology collaboration is crucial to ensuring the aerodynamic performance, safety and reliability of aircraft engines, and is of great significance to promoting high-level and high-quality development of enterprises. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The flaw detection device includes a column arranged on one side of the compressor rotor. The bottom of the column is connected to the upper end surface of the detection platform. A support arm is provided at the top of the column. A pressing rod is vertically and movably connected to the end of the support arm. At the bottom of the pressing rod, a flaw detection probe and an ultrasonic flaw detector host are electrically connected to each other. After the pressing rod is pressed down, it drives the flaw detection probe to detect the surface defects of the compressor rotor blades, and the ultrasonic flaw detector host displays the surface defects of the compressor rotor blades.

[0062] Further, the driving device 64 is a worm gear screw jack. The top of the worm gear screw jack is fixedly connected to the sliding support 63. The worm gear screw jack has the functions of lifting and self-locking, and is used to adjust the height of the support frame 62 and prevent the support frame 62 from self-dropping due to the weight of the compressor rotor 1 to be measured.
