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.

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, and the other ends of the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 are respectively connected to the upper clamping rod 1 and the lower clamping rod 16. The other ends of the upper clamping rod 1 and the lower clamping rod 16 are respectively connected to the upper chuck and the lower chuck of the fatigue testing machine, so that the upper clamping rod 1, the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4, the blade clamping members, the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 and the lower clamping rod 16 are connected in sequence along the vertical axis between the upper chuck and the lower chuck of the fatigue testing machine. 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. The rotation of the blade clamping members can adjust the eccentric angle of the blade load.
[0033] The present application discloses a double-freedom fixture 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 fixture 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 fixture (hereinafter referred to as "fixture") are respectively 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. 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. 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. Therefore, the eccentric angle of the blade load can be adjusted by rotating the blade clamping members.
[0034] Therefore, in the clamp of the present application, by adjusting the eccentricity and the eccentric angle of the turbine blade 11 during the test, the bending moment direction and the relative size of different sections of the turbine blade 11 during the test can be realized, so as to achieve the purpose of simulating the real load. At the same time, the design of the clamp considers the simplicity and practicability of the operation. Through simple operation, the operator can quickly adjust the size and direction of the bending moment to meet the demand of rapid test. The design of the clamp also considers the convenience of maintenance and replacement. The main components of the clamp are designed as modularization, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement. This design reduces the maintenance time and cost, and improves the service life of the clamp.

The fixed head 6 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4, and the threaded connection part is further sleeved with an upper locking ring 5 for locking the fixed head 6. The lower end of the mortise head 12 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14, and the threaded connection part is further sleeved with a lower locking ring 13 for locking the mortise head 12. In this optional scheme, the eccentric angle of the blade load can be adjusted by relatively rotating the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 and the fixed head 6, or relatively rotating the mortise head 12 and the lower adjustable U-shaped head. The adjustment operation is simple, and can be adjusted steplessly in the circumferential direction. After adjustment, the fixed head 6 can be locked and fixed by the corresponding upper locking ring 5, or the mortise head 12 can be locked and fixed by the lower locking ring 13.
[0036] In this optional scheme, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the blade head 8 includes a left head and a right head which are oppositely arranged and have an "L" shaped cross section, a locking bolt 9, and a fixing bolt 7. The fixed head 6 is arranged between the upper ends of the left head and the right head. The fixing bolt 7 is arranged through the left head, the right head, and the fixed head 6 to lock and fix the blade head 8 and the fixed head 6. The upper end of the fixed head 6 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the upper adjustable U-shaped head. In this optional scheme, the number of the fixing bolts 7 is multiple to increase the stability of the connection and locking. The blade of the upper end of the turbine blade 11 is arranged between the lower ends of the left head and the right head. The locking bolt 9 is arranged through the left head and the right head to relatively clamp the left head and the right head to fix the blade, or the locking bolt 9 is arranged through the left head, the right head, and the blade to fixedly connect the blade head 8 and the blade of the turbine blade 11 into an integral whole.

The wall surface of the left clamp or the right clamp is also provided with an air outlet hole extending through the wall surface, and the air outlet hole communicates with the cavity between the left clamp and the right clamp, so that the external cooling gas machine, the tenon and slot clamp 12, the tenon, the blade and the blade clamp 8 are communicated to form a cooling gas circuit, which is used to provide cooling gas for the internal passage of the blade, so as to simulate the real running environment and improve the test accuracy.
[0040] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the two-degree-of-freedom clamp for adjusting the size and direction of the turbine blade bending moment also includes a heating coil 10 for heating the turbine blade 11. The heating coil 10 is arranged on the outer circle of the blade of the turbine blade 11 between the blade clamp 8 and the tenon and slot clamp 12. The clamp of the present application is used for fatigue, creep and other tests of turbine blades. In the life test of the turbine blade, in addition to the need to simulate different bending moment sizes and directions on different sections of the turbine blade 11, the temperature distribution on different sections also needs to be simulated. 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.

[0043] The clamp of the present application is used for fatigue, creep and other tests of turbine blades. In the life test of turbine blades, in addition to the need to simulate different bending moment sizes and directions on different sections of turbine blades 11, the temperature distribution on different sections also needs to be simulated. Therefore, the clamp of the present application adopts the following scheme to realize the simulation of stress and temperature distribution on a specific high section of turbine blades 11:
[0044] Stress distribution: the upper and lower parts of the clamp are respectively connected with the fatigue testing machine, and each contains two groups of devices which can independently adjust the eccentricity and eccentricity of the blade load. By adjusting the two degrees of freedom of the upper and lower parts of the clamp, the size and direction of the bending moment can be freely adjusted according to the loading requirements of the turbine blade 11, and the simulation of different stress distributions can be realized.
[0045] Temperature distribution: the clamp of the present application also uses the heating coil 10 to heat the specific section of the turbine blade 11, and the clamp cooling water channel is designed at the upper and lower ends of the clamp; at the same time, the inlet and outlet of the internal cooling gas of the turbine blade are designed in the middle part of the clamp to simulate the internal cooling state of the blade in service.
[0046] The preferred embodiment of the present application also provides a test method using the double-freedom adjustable turbine blade bending moment size and direction clamp of any one of the above, the test method comprising the following steps:
[0047] S10: test clamp assembly: clamp and fix the turbine blade 11 to be tested on the double-freedom clamp, and clamp and connect the double-freedom clamp to the fatigue testing machine;
[0048] S20: blade bending moment load setting: according to the simulation results, adjust the eccentricity and eccentric angle of the blade load applied to the turbine blade 11 to simulate the service load of the turbine blade 11;
[0049] S30: blade temperature load setting: determine the geometry and installation position of the heating coil 10 according to the simulation software, and then adjust the geometry of the heating coil 10 on the turbine blade 11 and the position relative to the turbine blade 11, so that the temperature field of the blade test section conforms to the real working state of the turbine blade 11;
[0050] S40: pre-test stress and temperature load calibration: use strain gauges to calibrate the internal and external stresses of the test section on the turbine blade 11, and use thermocouples to calibrate the internal and external temperatures of the test section on the turbine blade 11;

[0053] Specifically, the step "S10: test clamp assembly" specifically comprises: first, clamp the upper end of the upper clamping rod 1 with the upper chuck of the fatigue testing machine, clamp the other end of the upper clamping rod 1 with the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 through the upper connecting bolt 3, and fix it with a gasket, the upper adjustable U-shaped head 4 is connected with the fixed chuck 6 through threads, and is fixedly connected through the upper lock ring 5, the fixed chuck 6 is clamped with the blade chuck 8 through the fixed bolt 7; clamp the lower end of the lower clamping rod 16 with the lower chuck of the fatigue testing machine, clamp the other end of the lower clamping rod 16 with the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 through the lower connecting bolt 15, the lower adjustable U-shaped head 14 is connected with the mortise chuck 12 through threads, and is also fixed with the lower lock ring 13; then put the turbine blade 11 around the heating coil 10 into the mortise cavity of the mortise chuck 12, adjust the height position of the clamp through the fatigue testing machine, so that the upper part of the turbine blade 11 is matched with the blade chuck 8, and then fix the upper part of the turbine blade 11 through the locking bolt 9; finally, check to ensure that each contact surface is in good contact and each bolt connection is tight and stable, and the test clamp assembly is completed.
[0054] 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.
