TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of turbine blade stress loading test fixture, in particular, to a double-freedom fixture capable of adjusting the size and direction of turbine blade bending moment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Turbine blade is one of the important components of an aero-engine, and the creep and fatigue failure under high temperature are the main factors leading to its damage. In order to evaluate the service life of the turbine blade, it is necessary to carry out life test under different failure modes according to the actual service conditions of the turbine blade. Since the cost of carrying out blade life test under real conditions with the whole machine test is high, and once the structure fails, it will lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, it is of great significance to simulate the real service conditions of the blade and carry out life test under laboratory conditions.
[0003] For the fatigue failure mode, the examination unit of the dangerous position is usually several minimum fatigue life points, and for the creep failure mode, due to the stress relaxation effect, the examination unit of the dangerous position is usually the section perpendicular to the blade height direction. Therefore, in order to carry out turbine blade life test under laboratory conditions, it is necessary to simulate the stress and temperature distribution on different blade height sections.
[0004] Under the working condition of high-speed rotation, centrifugal force is one of the main mechanical loads borne by the turbine blade. In order to achieve high aerodynamic efficiency, the advanced turbine blade usually has a complex bending and torsion structure, which leads to uneven centrifugal load distribution on the blade height section. At the same time, the blade has a complex cooling structure inside and on the surface, which leads to complex temperature distribution on the section. Therefore, a corresponding fixture system must be designed to realize the simulation of stress and temperature distribution on the examination section.
[0005] The existing conventional test fixture can continuously change the angle between the blade and the main shaft of the tensile fatigue testing machine after clamping the blade, so as to realize the simulation of the interface stress distribution of the turbine blade by using a single-axis tensile fatigue testing machine. However, although the bending moment of the blade during loading is considered during the test, the direction of the bending moment on the blade section is not considered. In addition, since there is a complex stress and temperature gradient near the examination section, the loading result also needs to be accurately calibrated. In the existing conventional test method, the calibration step is completed only by measuring the surface strain and temperature distribution, the internal load state cannot be obtained, and the complete calibration result cannot be formed.

And the upper clamping rod 1 and the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4, and / or the lower clamping rod 16 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14, are adjustably connected in pairs along the transverse direction intersecting the vertical axis to adjust the eccentricity of the turbine blade 11 load. And adjusting the rotation degree of the blade clamping members can adjust the eccentricity angle of the blade load.
[0024] The present application discloses a double-freedom-degree clamp for adjusting the magnitude and direction of the bending moment of a turbine blade, which can be used for fatigue, creep and other tests of turbine blades. In the life test of turbine blades, it is necessary to simulate different bending moment sizes and directions on different sections of turbine blades. Therefore, the present application designs a double-freedom-degree clamp to achieve stress distribution simulation on a specific turbine blade height section. The following solutions are adopted: the upper and lower ends of the double-freedom-degree clamp (hereinafter referred to as "clamp") are connected to the upper chuck and the lower chuck of the fatigue testing machine through the upper clamping rod 1 and the lower clamping rod 16, and when the upper clamping rod 1 and the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 are adjustably connected in the transverse direction intersecting the vertical axis, the eccentricity of the blade load can be adjusted by changing the transverse connection position of the upper clamping rod 1 and the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4; and when the lower clamping rod 16 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 are adjustably connected in the transverse direction intersecting the vertical axis, the eccentricity of the blade load can also be adjusted by changing the transverse connection position of the lower clamping rod 16 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14. On the other hand, the upper and lower ends of the blade clamping members along the height direction are respectively threadedly connected to the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14, so that rotating the blade clamping members can adjust the eccentricity angle of the blade load.

Therefore, the clamp of the present application is provided with a heating coil 10 connected with external heating equipment to realize the temperature distribution simulation on the specific turbine blade 11 high section.

[0037] Specifically, the step "S20: blade bending moment load setting" specifically includes: according to the simulation results, simulating the service load of the turbine blade 11, adjusting the eccentricity of the blade load by changing the transverse relative position of the upper clamping rod 1 and the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4, or changing the transverse relative angle of the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 and the lower clamping rod 16.
