Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engine blade and blade disk impact test, in particular to a test device and a test method for prefabricating engine blade and blade disk impact damage. Background Art

[0002] During the service of aircraft engines, foreign objects sucked into the engine collide with the engine blades, causing damage and failure of the blades. The impact of foreign objects will cause local damage such as notches, pits, and notches to the blades and blade disks of aircraft engines. The resulting stress concentration and cracks will further induce overall damage, seriously threatening the safe operation of aircraft engines. Therefore, the MIL-E-5007D, JSGS-87231A, GJB214-87, CCAR-33 and other aircraft engine airworthiness standards, design specifications and manuals have stipulated the foreign object impact resistance of engine blades and the fatigue resistance of blades after impact damage.

[0003] Precise and controllable impact damage prefabrication of single blades and whole blade disks is the basic link for studying the fatigue resistance of blades after impact damage and formulating maintenance criteria, and is also a key link for evaluating and verifying the impact resistance of engine blades. In the process of verifying the resistance of blades and blade disks to foreign object impact, the test scheme is generally designed in combination with the statistical spectrum of blade damage during the service of aircraft engines to study the impact response and damage law of blades and blade disks when foreign objects impact in different postures and positions. Due to the variety of models of blades and blade disks of aircraft engines, they have complex curved surface geometries under different aerodynamic shape requirements, and the positions and angles of foreign object impact damage of blades and blade disks under actual service conditions also show diverse statistical distribution characteristics. Therefore, if the impact damage test is to efficiently reproduce the typical impact conditions of blades and blade disks, the following two key technical problems must be solved: First, the impact degrees of freedom of blades and blade disks should be as many as possible when performing impact damage prefabrication; second, the test equipment and test methods should have good versatility for blades and blade disks of different forms.

[0004] A Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN110823724B discloses an experimental device for observing impact damage of aircraft engine blades. In the patent, a rotating blade impact test with a single launch angle adjustment can be achieved through a screw, but this method is only applicable to a single degree of freedom impact of a rotating blade disk, and cannot achieve impacts with higher degrees of freedom. Since the experimental device for observing impact damage of aircraft engine blades lacks protection for non-target positions of the blade disk and control over the rotation of the blade disk, the actual impact damage position is difficult to control.

[0005] A rotating impact test device for a non-full-ring fan blade of an aircraft engine is disclosed in a Chinese invention patent with authorization publication number CN113495002B, and a rotating blade impact test device and a rotating blade impact test method are disclosed in a Chinese invention patent with authorization publication number CN114646445B. In the schemes of the two patents, a rotor test bench is used to drive the blade disk to rotate during the impact test of the rotating blade disk. However, the scheme only conducts tests on the blade disk, is not suitable for the impact test of a single blade, and cannot achieve multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment.

[0006] The Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN110470446B discloses a test device for the service reliability of composite blades under impact, vibration, and high-temperature excitation. The patent takes into account the influence of the test environment such as temperature and vibration of the blades, but the tail of the barrel of the light gas gun is set on a short fixed plate through a barrel fixing seat, which can only achieve two-degree-of-freedom rotation, and the setting of the complex environment limits the installation of the blade disk and the impact degree-of-freedom adjustment, and cannot be applied to the multi-degree-of-freedom impact damage prefabrication test of the blade disk.

[0007] A Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216208272U discloses an aircraft engine blade impact test simulation device; in this patent, three telescopic cylinders are used to drive the adjustment of the angle and height of the blade in a single plane, but its controllable degrees of freedom are still two, and multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment cannot be achieved, and the clamping part cannot be used for blade disk impact tests.

[0008] In summary, there are two main problems with the existing test devices and test methods: First, the foreign object impact test is mainly carried out on rotating blades or stationary blades, and the test devices and test methods used lack versatility and compatibility; second, only a few degrees of freedom of impact can be adjusted, and there is a lack of foreign object impact damage test devices that can adjust more than two degrees of freedom of impact, and it is difficult to accurately control the impact damage position of complex blade surfaces. Therefore, designing a multi-degree-of-freedom foreign object impact damage prefabricated test device and test method that is compatible with single blades and integral blades has important engineering value for engine foreign object impact damage assessment and engine impact resistance performance verification. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a test device and a test method for prefabricating impact damage of engine blades and blisks, which solves the problems of low versatility and low impact freedom of existing impact damage prefabricated test devices for blades and blisks with complex geometric configurations.

[0010] In the first aspect, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A test device for prefabricating impact damage of engine blades and blade disks comprises a test bench, a launching device, a fixture assembly and a measuring system; a launching device is arranged at one end of the test bench, a fixture assembly is arranged at the other end of the test bench, and the fixture assembly is located at the projectile outlet of the launching device; blades or blade disks are mounted on the fixture assembly; and a measuring system is arranged on the outer side of the test bench.

[0011] In this scheme, when conducting a damage prefabrication test, the blade or blade disk is installed on the fixture assembly, and a projectile is launched through a launching device to impact the blade or blade disk to cause damage to it; the fixture assembly can be used for clamping and fixing blades or blade disks, and has strong versatility and a wide range of applications; it has a high degree of impact freedom and can be used for different impact postures; the measurement system can collect image information of the blade or blade disk during the impact test, which is convenient for subsequent test result analysis and impact damage prefabrication effect evaluation.

[0012] Furthermore, the launching device includes a high-pressure gas tank, which is fixedly connected to the end of the platform; a pressure gauge, an inflation valve and a launching switch are arranged on the high-pressure gas tank; an air gun barrel is connected to one end of the high-pressure gas tank; the axis of the air gun barrel is parallel to the length direction of the platform; a bullet support for loading the projectile is slidingly arranged inside the air gun barrel; the end of the air gun barrel away from the high-pressure gas tank is the air gun muzzle, and the air gun muzzle is provided with a bullet ejection device.

[0013] In this scheme, the high-pressure gas tank uses air pressure to launch the projectile along the air cannon barrel. When the projectile is launched to the muzzle of the air cannon, the cartridge case used to load the projectile is blocked by the ejection device; the projectile continues to move and impacts the blades or blade discs; the ejection device can prevent the cartridge case from being an unexpected impact object along with the projectile to impact the blades or blade discs.

[0014] Further, the fixture assembly includes a bottom plate, which is rectangular in shape; the bottom plate is horizontally arranged on the upper surface of the stand located on the side of the air cannon muzzle, and a plurality of bottom plate long strip holes are opened on the bottom plate, and each bottom plate long strip hole is perpendicular to the axial direction of the air cannon barrel; a bottom plate bolt is arranged in the bottom plate long strip hole, and the bottom plate bolt passes through the bottom plate long strip hole and is threadedly connected to the stand; A rotating plate is installed on the bottom plate, and the rotating plate is circular in shape; the rotating plate is horizontally arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate; a plurality of rotating plate circular waist holes arranged in a circular array on the same circumference are opened on the rotating plate; rotating plate bolts are arranged in the rotating plate circular waist holes, and the rotating plate bolts penetrate the rotating plate circular waist holes and are threadedly connected to the bottom plate; A clamping block is connected to the upper surface of the rotating plate, and a rectangular clamping cavity is opened in the middle of the clamping block; a top block is slidably arranged in the clamping cavity, and the length of the top block perpendicular to the axis of the air cannon barrel is the same as the length of the inner wall of the clamping cavity perpendicular to the axis of the air cannon barrel; a plurality of clamping cavity threaded holes are arranged on the side wall of the clamping block away from the muzzle of the air cannon, and clamping bolts are threadedly connected to the inner threads of the clamping cavity threaded holes, and one end of the clamping bolts located in the clamping cavity abuts against the top block; a blade or a blade disc installation kit for fixing the blade disc is clamped between the top block and the inner wall of the clamping cavity.

[0015] In this scheme, during the process of clamping a single blade, the posture of the blade in the horizontal plane can be changed by adjusting the position of the base plate on the stand and adjusting the rotational orientation of the rotating plate relative to the base plate. The blade can be adjusted in the vertical direction by adjusting the depth of the blade end inserted into the clamping cavity, ultimately achieving multi-degree-of-freedom installation posture adjustment during impact damage prefabrication of a single blade.

[0016] Further, the fixture assembly also includes a blisk mounting kit; The blade disk installation kit includes a vertical plate, which is clamped between the top block and the inner wall of the clamping cavity; a plurality of vertical plate long holes are opened in the vertical direction on the vertical plate, and vertical plate bolts are arranged in the vertical plate long holes; a connecting flange is arranged on the side of the vertical plate close to the muzzle of the air cannon, and the vertical plate bolts penetrate the vertical plate long holes and are threadedly connected to the connecting flange; The connecting flange is connected to a blade disk installation shaft via a connecting shaft. The blade disk installation shaft, the connecting shaft and the connecting flange are coaxial in the horizontal direction. The diameter of the blade disk installation shaft is smaller than the diameter of the connecting shaft, and the blade disk is installed on the blade disk installation shaft.

[0017] In this solution, during the process of clamping the blade disc, the blade disc installation kit can adjust the posture of the blade disc in the horizontal plane by adjusting the position of the base plate on the test bench and adjusting the rotation orientation of the rotating plate relative to the base plate; the blade disc height can be adjusted in the vertical direction by adjusting the vertical height of the connecting flange on the vertical plate, which facilitates flexible and efficient multi-degree-of-freedom foreign object impact testing of the blade disc.

[0018] Furthermore, a baffle plate is provided on the side of the baffle plate close to the muzzle of the air cannon, and the baffle plate is mounted on the baffle plate mounting shaft; a fastening nut is threadedly connected to the side of the baffle plate mounting shaft close to the muzzle of the air cannon; a hollow notch is opened on the baffle plate, and the size of the hollow notch matches the size of the sub-blades on the baffle plate.

[0019] In this solution, a hollow gap is opened on the blade disk baffle, and the position of the hollow gap on the blade disk baffle is adjusted, so that the sub-blades at specific positions on the blade disk can be impacted during static blade disk impact, thereby avoiding damage to other parts of the blade disk.

[0020] Furthermore, the prefabricated test device for impact damage of engine blades and blade disks also includes a protective component; the protective component includes a protective shell and a buffer, and the protective shell covers the fixture component; a channel for the projectile launched by the launch device to pass through is opened on one side of the protective shell close to the muzzle of the air cannon; the material of the protective shell is a transparent material; The buffer is arranged in the protective shell, and the buffer is located at a side of the clamp assembly away from the launching device; the bottom of the buffer is detachably connected to the upper surface of the stand.

[0021] In this solution, the buffer is used to absorb the remaining kinetic energy after the impact of the projectile, and the protective shell can isolate the space where the fixture assembly is located from the outside world to prevent the projectile from rebounding or generating fragments during the impact, which may pose a threat to the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, the prefabricated test device for impact damage of engine blades and blisks also includes a positioning assembly; the positioning assembly includes a fixing seat and a laser locator, the fixing seat is detachably connected to the upper surface of the test bench, and is located on the side of the fixture assembly away from the launching device; the laser locator is installed on the fixing seat, and the laser emission path of the laser locator coincides with the path of the projectile launched by the launching device.

[0023] In this solution, the irradiation point of the laser emitted by the laser locator on the blade or blade disk is the impact position of the projectile. The posture of the blade or blade disk is conveniently adjusted according to the irradiation point of the laser, thereby achieving precise control of the impact position of the blade or blade disk.

[0024] Furthermore, the measuring system includes a high-speed camera, a light source and a computer; the high-speed camera and the computer are electrically connected; the shooting direction of the high-speed camera and the irradiation direction of the light source are both toward the fixture assembly.

[0025] In this scheme, high-speed cameras are used to capture and monitor the impact velocity of the projectile and the process of impacting blades and disks to support subsequent test analysis. Light sources are set to increase the brightness of the test site to ensure that the images captured by the high-speed camera are clear.

[0026] Furthermore, the engine blade and blisk impact damage prefabrication test device also includes a power assist device, which is used to drive the blisk to rotate around the blisk installation axis.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a test method for prefabrication of impact damage of engine blades and blade disks based on a test device for prefabrication of impact damage of engine blades and blade disks provided in the first aspect; The impact damage prefabrication test of the blade includes the following steps: Step S1, determining blade impact test parameters: determining the impact parameters and projectile parameters of the blade impact test to be tested according to the impact damage prefabrication test outline of the aero-engine blade; Step S2: Preparation for blade impact test: Install the bottom plate and use bottom plate bolts to fix the bottom plate on the stand, install the rotating plate and use rotating plate bolts to fix the rotating plate on the bottom plate; Make an impact mark on the blade to be tested, and fix the marked end of the blade to be tested in the clamping cavity using a top block and a clamping bolt; Install the positioning assembly, move the bottom plate on the stand along the long hole of the bottom plate, rotate the rotating plate on the bottom plate along the arc waist hole of the rotating plate, and adjust the clamping depth of the blade end in the vertical direction so that the laser line emitted by the laser locator in the positioning assembly is aligned with the impact mark on the blade to be tested; remove the positioning assembly and install the protection assembly; calibrate the pixel space size of the field of view of the measurement system; Step S3, performing a blade impact test: determining the air pressure value of the high-pressure gas tank in the launch device according to the impact parameters and the projectile parameters; turning on the launch switch, and launching the projectile to impact the marked position on the blade to be tested; Step S4, data acquisition: using a measurement system to collect image data during the blade impact test; Step S5, evaluating the impact damage effect of the blade: comparing the image data before and after the blade impact test, and analyzing the impact damage failure law of the blade; The impact damage prefabrication test of the blade disk includes the following steps: Step T1, determining blade disk impact test parameters: determining the impact parameters and projectile parameters of the blade disk impact test to be tested according to the impact damage prefabrication test outline of the aircraft engine blade disk; Step T2, blade disk impact test preparation: Install the bottom plate and use bottom plate bolts to fix the bottom plate on the stand, install the rotating plate and use rotating plate bolts to fix the rotating plate on the bottom plate; Assemble the blade disk installation kit, thread the blade disk installation shaft, the connecting shaft, and the connecting flange, and use the vertical plate bolts to fix the connecting flange to the vertical plate; Make an impact mark on the blisk to be tested, install the blisk baffle and the blisk with the impact mark on the blisk installation shaft; use the fastening nut to limit the blisk and the blisk baffle; use the top block and the clamping bolt to fix the blisk installation kit with the blisk installed in the clamping cavity of the clamping block; Install the positioning assembly, move the bottom plate on the test bench along the long hole of the bottom plate, rotate the rotating plate on the bottom plate along the arc waist hole of the rotating plate, adjust the vertical position of the connecting flange, rotate the blade disk and the blade disk baffle, align the position to be impacted marked on the blade disk with the hollow notch on the blade disk baffle, and align the laser line emitted by the laser locator in the positioning assembly with the impact mark on the blade disk to be tested; remove the positioning assembly and install the protection assembly; calibrate the pixel space size of the field of view of the measurement system; Step T3, perform a blade disk impact test: determine the air pressure value of the high-pressure gas tank in the launch device according to the impact parameters and the projectile parameters; turn on the launch switch, and launch the projectile to impact the marked position on the blade disk to be tested; Step T4, data acquisition: using a measurement system to collect image data during the blade disk impact test; Step T5, evaluating the impact damage effect of the blade disk: comparing the image data before and after the blade disk impact test, and analyzing the impact damage failure law of the blade disk.
