[0047] When using a reliability testing method for de-icing blowers, the blade strength and impeller connection strength can be tested first. If both blade and connection strength meet the standards, the impeller strength can then be tested. The testing order for blade and connection strength can be preset. Testing blade and connection strength according to this preset order ensures that the impeller strength is tested only after the specific components have passed the tests, saving testing time and improving efficiency. If at least one of the connection strength, blade strength, and impeller strength values ​​fails to meet the standard, the blower's reliability is deemed substandard. If all three values ​​meet the standard, the blower's reliability is deemed satisfactory, ensuring the accuracy of the reliability evaluation. This invention evaluates the reliability of the blower under test by testing three dimensions: connection strength, blade strength, and impeller strength. This makes the reliability evaluation of the blower under test more accurate and comprehensive, and can take into account the special operating environment of the power generation blades of the blower under test, thus making the application scenarios of the reliability evaluation of the blower under test more extensive.

[0048] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The accompanying drawings are provided to illustrate the invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the following detailed description to explain the invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings:

[0050] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a reliability testing method for a de-icing blower according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0051] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the testing fixture structure in a de-icing blower reliability testing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] Detailed Implementation

[0053] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Specific embodiments are described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0055] The following describes a reliability testing method for a de-icing blower according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, a reliability testing method for a de-icing blower is used for a blower under test, the blower under test including an impeller 200 and blades connected to the impeller 200, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the reliability test method for de-icing blowers includes:

[0057] Step S1: Detect the connection strength value between the blade and the impeller 200 and obtain the first threshold.

[0058] Step S2: Determine whether the connection strength between the blade and the impeller 200 meets the standard based on the connection strength value and the first threshold.

[0059] If the connection strength value is not lower than the first threshold, the connection strength can be determined to meet the standard; if the connection strength value is lower than the first threshold, the connection strength can be determined to fail to meet the standard.

[0060] Step S3: Detect the leaf strength value of the leaf and obtain the second threshold;

[0061] Step S4: Determine whether the leaf strength meets the standard based on the leaf strength value and the second threshold.

[0062] If the leaf strength value does not exceed the second threshold, the leaf strength can be determined to meet the standard. If the leaf strength value exceeds the second threshold, the leaf strength can be determined to fail to meet the standard. The leaf strength value can be the maximum amplitude of the leaf tip vibration.

[0063] Step S5: Assuming that the connection strength and blade strength meet the standards, simulate actual operating conditions and test the impeller strength of impeller 200;

[0064] Step S6: Combine the connection strength value, blade strength value, and impeller strength to determine whether the reliability of the blower under test meets the standard;

[0065] If all three criteria are met, the reliability of the blower under test can be confirmed.

[0066] Understandably, the blower under test in this embodiment is mainly used as a de-icing blower for de-icing wind turbines, and the first threshold and the second threshold can be preset.

[0067] When using the de-icing blower reliability testing method of this embodiment to test the reliability of the blower under test, the blade strength and the connection strength of the blade and impeller 200 can be tested first. If both the blade strength and connection strength meet the standards, the impeller strength of the blower under test can be tested. The testing order of blade strength and connection strength can be preset. Testing the blade strength and connection strength according to the preset testing order ensures that the impeller strength is tested in actual operation simulation only after the specific components have passed the test, which saves testing time and improves testing efficiency. If at least one of the connection strength value, blade strength value, and impeller strength fails to meet the standard, the reliability of the blower under test can be determined to be substandard. If all three of the connection strength value, blade strength value, and impeller strength meet the standard, the reliability of the blower under test can be determined to be standard, ensuring the accuracy of the reliability evaluation of the blower under test. In this embodiment, the reliability of the blower under test is evaluated by testing three dimensions: connection strength, blade strength, and impeller strength. This makes the reliability evaluation of the blower under test more accurate and comprehensive, and can take into account the special operating environment of the power generation blades of the blower under test, thus making the application scenarios of the reliability evaluation of the blower under test more extensive.

[0068] Specifically, detecting the connection strength value between the blade and the impeller 200 and obtaining the first threshold includes:

[0069] Obtain the initial appearance image of the blower under test before testing;

[0070] The blower under test is fixed to the tensile testing machine, and the tensile testing machine is controlled to apply static load to the blower blades radially (i.e., outward from the center of the impeller 200) and the current appearance image of the blower under test is obtained.

[0071] The static load failure value of the blower under test is obtained based on the initial appearance image and the current appearance image, and the static load failure value is used as the connection strength value.

[0072] Obtain a preset static load as the first threshold.

[0073] It should be noted that before testing the blade strength and connection strength, the surface smoothness of the impeller 200 can be determined by checking for burrs, cracks, etc., using an initial appearance image. The initial appearance image can also be used to check for welding at the joint between the blades and the impeller 200, and whether the blade clips are properly riveted, to determine if the connection completion of the blower under test meets the standards. If the surface smoothness of the impeller 200 and the connection completion of the blower under test both meet the standards, the blower under test can be determined to meet the reliability test conditions, and subsequent blade strength, connection strength, and impeller strength tests can be performed. Determining whether the blower under test meets the reliability test conditions before testing the strength of specific components avoids errors in reliability evaluation caused by testing defective products.

[0074] It should be noted that the first threshold can be 4000N. If the static load failure value is determined to be no less than 4000N, the blade strength of the blower under test can be determined to meet the standard. If the static load failure value is determined to be less than 4000N, the blade strength of the blower under test can be determined to fail to meet the standard.

[0075] In one embodiment, obtaining the static load failure value of the blower under test based on the initial appearance image and the current appearance image includes:

[0076] By comparing the current appearance image with the initial appearance image, the current state of the blower under test can be obtained;

[0077] Determine the static load failure value of the blower under test based on its current state.

[0078] After the blower under test is fixed, a tensile testing machine can be used to slowly load the blower. Specifically, a static load of 200N can be increased every 60 seconds, and the static load at each time point is recorded in real time. In this embodiment, by acquiring the static load applied by the tensile testing machine in real time, the maximum static load of the blades in the direction of centrifugal force is checked. By comparing the current appearance image and the initial appearance image, the state of the blower under test under different static loads can be determined, and the maximum static load that the blower under test can withstand can be determined as the static load failure value. In one embodiment, by comparing the current appearance image and the initial appearance image, it can be determined that the blower under test has cracked at the joint under static load. The cracking at the joint under static load can be determined by comparing the edge or locating the joint, and the static load failure value can be accurately obtained.

[0079] Understandably, determining the static load failure value of the blower under test based on its current state includes:

[0080] To determine if the blower under test is in a static load failure state, obtain the current static load of the tensile testing machine and use the current static load as the static load failure value.

[0081] In this embodiment, the edge comparison or connection shape comparison between the current appearance image and the initial appearance image can be used to determine that the blower under test has cracked at the connection under static load, and the blower under test is in a static load failure state. The current static load of the tensile testing machine can be obtained as the static load failure value.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, detecting the leaf strength value of the leaf and obtaining the second threshold includes:

[0083] Fix the blower to be tested on the vibration test bench;

[0084] Obtain preset vibration parameters and control the vibration test bench to simulate vibration according to the preset vibration parameters; control the blower under test to run at rated speed in the simulated vibration environment to obtain the maximum amplitude of blade tip vibration of the blower under test, and take the maximum amplitude of blade tip vibration as the blade strength value;

[0085] The preset blade vibration amplitude is obtained as the second threshold.

[0086] In this embodiment, a vibration test bench is used to simulate vibration of the blower. The blower under test is controlled to run at its rated speed in a simulated vibration environment. The maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration of the blower under test within a preset vibration cycle can be obtained, and the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration is used as the blade strength value. By combining the long-term constant centrifugal force and the random frequency amplitude vibration environment, the static load of the blade and the operation of the blade tip vibration parameters can be comprehensively examined, and the reliability of the blower under test can be evaluated more comprehensively.

[0087] In one embodiment, preset vibration parameters are obtained and a vibration test bench is controlled to simulate vibration according to the preset vibration parameters; the blower under test is controlled to run at its rated speed in a simulated vibration environment to obtain the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration of the blower under test, and the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration is used as the blade strength value, including:

[0088] The vibration test bench is controlled to vibrate the blower under test along the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis with a preset acceleration within a preset vibration frequency range;

[0089] The maximum axial displacement and the maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tip of the blower under test within a preset vibration period are obtained and used as the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration.

[0090] Specifically, the vibration test bench can be controlled to vibrate the blower under test along the X, Y, and Z axes. The preset vibration frequency range can be 10Hz~150Hz, the preset acceleration can be 2g, and the number of frequency sweeps can be higher than 20. If the maximum axial displacement of the blade tip does not exceed 0.5mm and the maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tip does not exceed 1mm within the preset vibration period, then the blade strength is determined to meet the standard. In this embodiment, the maximum axial displacement and the maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tip are used as the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration, which can comprehensively judge the axial and circumferential strength of the blade tip, and evaluate whether the blade strength is qualified from multiple dimensions.

[0091] Understandably, the blower under test has a blade tip timing sensor and a key phase sensor installed inside its casing. The maximum axial displacement and maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tips within a preset vibration cycle are obtained, including:

[0092] The axial and circumferential amplitude variation lines of the blade tip of the blower under test are detected by a blade tip timing sensor and a key phase sensor.

[0093] Based on the axial and circumferential amplitude variation lines of the blade tip, the maximum axial displacement and maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tip of the blower under test within the preset vibration period are determined.

[0094] A blade tip timing sensor detects the axial amplitude of the blade tip of the blower under test, while a key phase sensor detects the circumferential amplitude of the blade tip. By combining the axial and circumferential amplitudes of the blade tip with a timeline, the axial amplitude variation line and the circumferential amplitude variation line can be plotted. The highest point in the axial amplitude variation line can be determined as the maximum axial displacement of the blade tip, and the highest point in the circumferential amplitude variation line can be determined as the maximum circumferential displacement of the blade tip.

[0095] In this embodiment of the invention, the blower under test is used to be installed on the wind turbine blades of a wind turbine generator to de-ice the blades, simulating actual operating conditions and testing the impeller strength of the impeller 200, including:

[0096] Obtain the actual installation state of the blower under test, and fix the blower under test on the rotary test bench to simulate the actual installation state.

[0097] Obtain the actual operating parameters of the wind turbine, determine the test parameters of the rotating test bench based on the actual operating parameters, and drive the rotating test bench to rotate with the same centrifugal force using the test parameters;

[0098] Control the blower under test to run at a preset overspeed rate for a preset time, and obtain the overspeed deformation of the blower under test;

[0099] The impeller strength is determined based on the overspeed deformation.

[0100] The plane of rotation, which determines the actual operating state of the blower under test, is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. This plane of rotation can simulate the actual operating state of the blower when installed on a wind turbine. The plane of rotation is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. According to the formula: F=mω 2 r, obtain the rotational speed of the wind turbine generator, and calculate the rotational speed under the same centrifugal force by comparing the rotational radius of the blower under test on the rotating test bench with the actual rotational radius of the rotating test bench in the generator blades during the test. This speed is used as the test speed of the rotating test bench and as the test parameter. The blower under test is subjected to an overspeed test in a vertical plane rotation state, with a running time of not less than 180s, and the preset overspeed rate can be set in advance.

[0101] In this embodiment of the invention, the overspeed deformation includes at least the amount of weld cracks, anchor node cracks, and diameter deformation of the impeller 200. Specifically, the overspeed deformation can be determined by acquiring an initial appearance image before testing, acquiring an overspeed appearance image of the blower under test in real time during the impeller strength test, and comparing the initial appearance image and the final overspeed appearance image. If scanning the final overspeed appearance image confirms that there are no cracks at the weld points and anchor nodes on the impeller 200 of the blower under test, and the diameter deformation of the impeller 200 is not higher than 5%, then the blade strength is considered qualified.

[0102] In this embodiment of the invention, controlling the blower under test to run at a preset overspeed rate for a preset duration and obtaining the overspeed deformation of the blower under test includes:

[0103] Obtain the initial appearance image of the blower under test before testing;

[0104] Control the blower under test to run at a preset overspeed rate for a preset duration, and acquire an overspeed appearance image of the blower under test;

[0105] The overspeed deformation of the blower under test is obtained from the initial appearance image and the overspeed appearance image.

[0106] Specifically, the overspeed deformation can be obtained by acquiring an initial appearance image before testing, and acquiring an overspeed appearance image of the blower under test in real time during the impeller strength test. By comparing the initial appearance image and the final overspeed appearance image, the overspeed deformation of the blower under test can be obtained. This embodiment fully considers the special operating conditions of the blower rotating with the wind turbine. Under the long-term constant centrifugal force and random frequency amplitude vibration environment, by comprehensively examining the static load of the blades and the maximum amplitude of the blade tip vibration, the reliability of the impeller 200 of the blower under test can be effectively evaluated.

[0107] In this embodiment, the connection strength is evaluated by detecting the maximum static load of the blade in the centrifugal force direction. Under vibration, the blower under test is controlled to run continuously at the rated speed, and the blade tip vibration is checked to evaluate whether the blade strength meets the standard. On this basis, the blower under test is placed on a rotating test platform with the rotating plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane. After the impeller 200 runs at overspeed, the impeller strength of the impeller 200 is checked. The reliability of the blower under test can be evaluated from multiple dimensions, avoiding inaccuracies caused by evaluation from a single dimension.

[0108] This invention also proposes a reliability testing system for de-icing blowers, the system comprising:

[0109] Tensile testing machine, used to test the connection strength of blades and impellers 200;

[0110] Vibration test bench, used for testing the blade strength value;

[0111] A rotating test bench is used for impeller strength testing of impeller 200.

[0112] The controller, tensile testing machine, vibration testing bench, and rotary testing bench are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the tensile testing machine, vibration testing bench, and rotary testing bench to perform the de-icing blower reliability test method described above. Understandably, in this embodiment, the tensile testing machine can apply tensile force to the blower under test, the vibration testing bench can vibrate the blower under test (using existing vibration structures), and the rotary testing bench can simulate the actual rotational state of a wind turbine generator to simulate special operating conditions for the blower under test. The rotary testing bench may include a rotary motor, rotary blades, and a rotary shaft.

[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the de-icing blower reliability testing system further includes a testing fixture 100 for fixing the blower under test to a tensile testing machine. The testing fixture 100 may include a fixed disc 1 and a connecting plate 3 connected to the tensile testing machine. The fixed disc 1 includes two limiting plates 11, and a limiting space 12 for limiting the impeller 200 is formed between the two limiting plates 11, which can limit the blower under test along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210. The upper end of the connecting plate 3 can be connected to the rotating shaft 210 of the impeller 200, and the lower end can be connected to the tensile testing machine. There can be two connecting plates 3, and the two connecting plates 3 can be arranged opposite each other along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210. The testing fixture 100 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which can improve the testing efficiency.
