[0052] The detection mechanism 4 includes a translation component 44, a first detection component 45 and a second detection component 46; wherein,
[0053] The translation assembly 44 includes two side panels 41; the bottoms of the two side panels 41 are detachably connected to the two side panels 12; the tops of the two side panels 41 are connected by two cross bars 42; and the inner sides of the two side panels 41 are respectively provided with second semicircular tubes 411, and the first semicircular tube 13 and the second semicircular tube 411 form a full circular tube;

[0056] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a plurality of positioning rods 43 , which are sequentially inserted into the positioning holes 121 of the second side panel 41 and the first side panel 12 .
[0057] In order to comply with the detachable connection of the detection mechanism 4 , in this embodiment, the motor 1 3 can also be detachably connected to the outer side of the side panel 2 41 .
[0058] Preferably, when in use, the detection mechanism 4 is first disassembled, and then the main shaft of the turbine 2 is placed on two support brackets 11, and then the two side plates 2 41 of the detection mechanism 4 are aligned with the two side plates 1 12, so that the first semicircular tube 13 and the second semicircular tube 411 are closed and fixed by a number of positioning rods 43; the motor 1 3 is respectively connected to the side plate 12 and the side plate 2 41; the rotors 23 on both sides of the turbine 2 are movably connected in the two first semicircular tubes 13, and the motor 1 3 is started to drive the rotor 23 of the turbine 2 to rotate, providing the necessary rotation conditions for subsequent detection.
[0059] In this embodiment, the present invention is designed to connect the first detection component 45 and the second detection component 46 with the guide block 444 in the translation component 44. When the guide block 444 moves, it can detect whether there are cracks on the surface of the impeller 21 of the turbine 2 while also detecting the balance of the blade 22 in the vertical direction, thereby promptly discovering the imbalance problem of the blade 22 and increasing the service life of the equipment.
[0060] Specifically, the translation assembly 44 includes:
[0061] The ends of the lead screw 441 are connected to the two side plates 41 through bearings;
[0062] At least one guide rod 442, with its two ends respectively connected to the two side plates 41;
[0063] A nut 443 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 441;
[0064] a guide block 444 connected to the outer periphery of the nut 443 and movably connected to the guide rod 442;
[0065] The second motor 445 is disposed on the outer side of one of the second side plates 41 , and its output end is connected to one end of the lead screw 441 .
[0066] Working principle:
[0067] According to the needs of the detection position, start motor 2 445, and the output end of motor 2 445 drives the screw 441 to rotate; when the screw 441 rotates, the nut 443 moves along the screw 441, and the guide block 444 translates horizontally under the guidance of the guide rod 442; the translation assembly 44 drives the first detection assembly 45 and the second detection assembly 46 to move to the specified position, ready for detection.
[0068] In this embodiment, the present invention realizes the precise translation of the first detection component 45 and the second detection component 46 through the combination of the screw 441, the guide rod 442, the nut 443 and the guide block 444, and can adjust the detection position as needed to cover various parts of the impeller 21 of the turbine 2.
[0069] Specifically, the first detection component 45 includes:
[0070] Cylinder 1 451 is disposed on the top of the guide block 444, and its output end passes through the guide block 444;
[0071] Electromagnetic induction sensor 452, located at the output end of cylinder 1 451, identifies cracks by detecting changes in the electromagnetic field on the surface of impeller 21. When electromagnetic induction sensor 452 is close to the surface of impeller 21, if there is a crack on the surface of impeller 21, the electromagnetic field will change. Electromagnetic induction sensor 452 can capture this change and output a signal.
[0072] Working principle:
[0073] The translation assembly 44 moves the first detection assembly 45 to a preset detection position on the surface of the impeller 21; the controller controls the cylinder 1 451 to start, pushing the electromagnetic induction sensor 452 close to the surface of the impeller 21; the electromagnetic induction sensor 452 starts working, detecting whether there are cracks on the surface of the impeller 21, and transmitting the detection signal to the controller.

[0075] Specifically, the second detection component 46 includes:
[0076] The mounting bracket 461 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 1 451 and is located above the electromagnetic induction sensor 452;
[0077] Two vibration sensors 462 are embedded in the outer sides of the "∩" mounting bracket 461 and located below and on either side of the electromagnetic induction sensor 452. They are used to detect vibration signals during operation of the steam turbine 2. When the blades 22 are vertically unbalanced, the steam turbine 2 generates vibrations of a specific frequency. The vibration sensors 462 capture these vibration signals and determine the balance state of the blades 22 by analyzing their frequency and amplitude.
[0078] Working principle:
[0079] While the translation component 44 drives the first detection component 45 to move, it also drives the second detection component 46 to move to the preset detection position on the surface of the impeller 21; at this time, the vibration sensors 462 on both sides of the "∩"-shaped mounting frame are set in the gap between the blades 22; the vibration sensors 462 start to work, detect the vibration signal of the turbine 2 during operation, and transmit the signal to the controller; the controller analyzes the vibration signal and determines the balance state of the blade 22 in the vertical direction.

[0084] The movable plate 52 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 51 ; a plurality of cleaning brushes 53 are evenly distributed around the movable plate 52 .
[0085] Working principle:
[0086] While the translation component 44 drives the first detection component 45 and the second moving component to move, it also drives the cleaning mechanism 5 to move into the gap between the blades 22; the controller controls the cylinder 2 51 to start, pushing the movable plate 52 between the blades 22; the cleaning brush 53 contacts the surface of the blade 22 and begins to clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the blade 22; after the cleaning is completed, the cylinder 2 51 is retracted, and the movable plate 52 and the cleaning brush 53 leave the surface of the impeller 21.
[0087] In this embodiment, the present invention introduces a cleaning mechanism 5 and links it with the detection mechanism 4, which can clean the blades 22 while detecting, remove impurities such as dust and oil on the blades 22, and improve detection accuracy.
[0088] In order to realize automatic control of the device, in this embodiment, a controller is further included, and the controller is connected to the motor 2 445 , the cylinder 1 451 and the cylinder 2 51 .
[0089] In summary, through the working principles and work processes of the above mechanisms, the steam turbine 2 detection device of the present invention can efficiently and accurately complete the crack detection, balance detection and cleaning of the impeller 21, improve the detection efficiency and accuracy, and ensure the safe operation of the steam turbine 2.
