Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air compressor rotor detection testing, in particular to a screw air compressor rotor flaw detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, screw air compressor rotor flaw detection testing is mainly carried out through magnetic particle flaw detection or ultrasonic flaw detection. The ultrasonic flaw detection can detect extremely small defects inside the screw air compressor rotor, such as cracks, pores and inclusions. Generally, it can detect defects of millimeter level or even smaller size, which is very crucial for early detection of potential safety hazards of the rotor. Meanwhile, the propagation time and reflection position of ultrasonic waves in the rotor can accurately determine the position, depth and size of the defects, which helps maintenance personnel accurately judge the defect condition and provide reliable basis for subsequent repair or replacement work.

[0003] In the process of ultrasonic flaw detection of the screw air compressor rotor, the surface of the screw air compressor rotor is uniformly coated with a coupling agent, and then the ultrasonic probe is moved on the surface of the screw air compressor rotor. When the ultrasonic wave propagates inside the rotor, the echo signal generated when the ultrasonic wave encounters a defect is received by the probe and converted into an electrical signal which is transmitted to the computer. The computer analyzes and processes the signal and displays the defect position and depth information on the display screen.

[0004] The overall shape of the screw air compressor rotor is a multi-start helical surface, which is complex. In the process of detecting the helical tooth surface of the screw air compressor rotor using ultrasonic waves, the movement control of the ultrasonic probe is difficult due to the existence of parameters such as screw pitch and helix angle. In the actual movement process, it is difficult to control the distance between the ultrasonic probe and the tooth root, and unstable distance will make the ultrasonic wave reflection and refraction on the tooth surface complex and changeable, producing chaotic reflection waves, interfering with the normal defect signal, making it difficult to interpret the waveform displayed by the flaw detector, affecting the identification and judgment of the tiny defects on the tooth surface, and thus increasing the error of the detection result of the screw air compressor rotor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-10 , a screw type air compressor rotor flaw detection device shown in the figure, including workbench 101, rotating shaft 102 and a plurality of helical tooth surfaces 103 arranged on the side wall of rotating shaft 102, workbench 101 is provided with two tailstock centers 104 for positioning rotating shaft 102, further including a detection assembly arranged on workbench 101 for flaw detection of each helical tooth surface 103;

[0034] The detection assembly comprises a detection ring 201 slidably connected to the two workbenches 101, the detection ring 201 is arranged concentrically with the rotating shaft 102, a plurality of detection tubes 202 are slidably connected to one side of the detection ring 201 close to each helical tooth surface 103, the detection ring 201 is provided with an adjusting assembly for adjusting the height of each detection tube 202, each detection tube 202 is provided with a mounting frame 203 close to one end of the helical tooth surface 103, each mounting frame 203 is provided with an ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 close to one end of the helical tooth surface 103, each detection tube 202 is provided with a control assembly for controlling the flaw detection path of the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204, one end of each detection tube 202 away from the helical tooth surface 103 is connected to an ultrasonic flaw detector 205 through a strip-shaped support plate, each ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic flaw detector 205 through a connecting wire 206, each connecting wire 206 penetrates through the detection tube 202, and the workbench 101 is provided with a moving assembly for driving each ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 to move on the surface of the helical tooth surface 103;

[0035] It should be noted that: through the setting of the detection assembly, the synchronous flaw detection of the plurality of helical tooth surfaces 103 is realized by using the plurality of ultrasonic flaw detectors 205 and ultrasonic flaw detection heads 204, and under the cooperation of the control assembly, the driving assembly, the adjusting assembly and the adjusting assembly, the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 moves on the surface of the helical tooth surface 103 with a path equal to the root gap, so as to ensure that the ultrasonic beam is incident to the tooth surface and the inside with a relatively fixed angle and path, thereby helping to reduce the uncertainty of refraction, scattering and attenuation of the sound beam, making the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the helical tooth surface 103 more stable, thereby more accurately reflecting the condition of the tooth surface and the inside, improving the identification and judgment of the tiny defects of the tooth surface, and thereby improving the accuracy of the flaw detection of the screw type air compressor rotor.

[0036] It is worth noting that: the ultrasonic flaw detector 205 is mainly composed of a transmitting circuit, a receiving circuit, an ultrasonic flaw detection head 204, a time base circuit, a display circuit and a power supply circuit. In actual use, the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 emits ultrasonic waves to the surface of the helical tooth surface 103, and the ultrasonic waves propagate to the surface of the helical tooth surface 103 at a certain frequency and direction. When the ultrasonic waves encounter the surface of the helical tooth surface 103, due to the difference in acoustic impedance between the tooth surface and the surrounding medium (such as air), part of the ultrasonic waves is reflected back at the interface between the tooth surface and the medium, forming an interface reflected wave. Another part of the ultrasonic waves will continue to propagate inside the tooth surface. If there is a defect such as a crack or a pore inside the tooth surface, due to the difference in acoustic impedance between the defect and the surrounding material, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected, refracted and scattered again when they encounter the defect. Among them, the reflected wave propagates to the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204. After the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 receives the reflected ultrasonic wave, it is converted into an electrical signal. The receiving circuit amplifies and filters these weak electrical signals, removes interference signals, and improves signal quality. The time base circuit determines the position information corresponding to the reflected signal according to the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave. The processed signal is displayed on the screen in the form of a waveform or an image through the display circuit. The operator can determine whether the helical tooth surface 103 has a defect, as well as the location, size and nature of the defect, according to the displayed waveform characteristics such as amplitude, shape, position, etc. For example, the waveform of a normal tooth surface is regular, only with interface reflected wave and other characteristic signals. If there is a defect, additional wave peaks or troughs will appear on the waveform. According to the position and amplitude of these abnormal signals, the specific situation of the defect can be analyzed, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] It should be noted that: the third motor 705 is arranged to drive one of the gears 703 to rotate.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 The moving assembly in the drawing comprises two fixed plates 801 fixedly connected to the workbench 101 close to the tailstock center 104, a guide rod 802 fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 801, a first moving plate 803 slidably connected to the guide rod 802, one end of the two first moving plates 803 connected with the detection ring 201, a lead screw 805 rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 801, a second moving plate 804 threadedly connected to the side wall of the lead screw 805, one end of the second moving plate 804 connected with the detection ring 201, a fourth motor 806 fixedly connected to one of the two fixed plates 801 away from the second moving plate 804, and the output end of the fourth motor 806 connected with the lead screw 805.

[0054] It should be noted that: the moving assembly is arranged to drive the detection ring 201 to move, thereby driving each ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 to move on the surface of the helical tooth surface 103.

[0055] In the scheme: a screw type air compressor rotor flaw detection device comprises the following steps:

[0056] When the screw type air compressor rotor is detected, first, the rotating shaft 102 is placed between the two tailstock centers 104, and then the two tailstock centers 104 are used to abut against the two ends of the rotating shaft 102, thereby ensuring the position limitation of the rotating shaft 102 and enabling the rotating shaft 102 to maintain the rotating characteristics, and after the position of the rotating shaft 102 is limited, the position limitation of the plurality of helical tooth surfaces 103 is realized.

[0057] After the position of each helical tooth surface 103 is defined, the coupling agent is evenly applied on the surface of each helical tooth surface 103. After the application of the coupling agent is completed, the fourth motor 806 (model RS-775PH-8011R, as prior art, not described in detail here) is started to drive the screw rod 805 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw rod 805, the detection ring 201 is moved close to the helical tooth surface 103 by the threaded engagement transmission between the screw rod 805 and the second moving plate 804 and the guiding action between the two guide rods 802 and the first moving plate 803. During the movement of the detection ring 201 close to the helical tooth surface 103, each detection tube 202 is moved close to the helical tooth surface 103 synchronously;

[0058] When each detection tube 202 moves above the helical tooth surface 103, the fourth motor 806 is stopped, and the third motor 705 (model RS-770PHF-8523R, as prior art, not described in detail here) is started to drive the gear 703 at one end of the connecting rod 706 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear 703, each rotating threaded rod 603 is synchronously rotated by the meshing transmission between the gear 703 and the arc-shaped gear ring 702 on the side wall of the rotating ring 701, and then each detection tube 202 is moved close to the helical tooth surface 103 by the threaded engagement transmission between each rotating threaded rod 603 and the adjusting plate 602.

[0059] During the movement of each detection tube 202 close to the helical tooth surface 103, when each detection tube 202 is inserted into the tooth groove between the adjacent two helical tooth surfaces 103 (for reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 ), the opposite two control rods 302 are synchronously inserted into the tooth groove between the adjacent two helical tooth surfaces 103. With the continuous downward movement of the detection tube 202, when the opposite two control rods 302 respectively abut against the side walls of the adjacent two helical tooth surfaces 103, the downward movement of the detection tube 202 is stopped.

[0060] When the two control rods 302 respectively abut against the side walls of the two adjacent helical tooth surfaces 103, whether the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 at one end of the mounting frame 203 is parallel to the normal direction of the helical tooth surface 103, if the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 is not parallel to the normal direction of the helical tooth surface 103, the second motor 502 (model RS-550PH-4559RD, as prior art, not described in detail here) can be started to drive the strip-shaped plate 501 to rotate, and then drive the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 at one side of the mounting frame 203 to rotate, so that the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 is parallel to the normal direction of the helical tooth surface 103, so that the ultrasonic beam can be more vertically incident to the surface and the inside of the helical tooth surface 103, reducing the refraction and scattering of the sound beam caused by the angle deviation, making the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave in the helical tooth surface 103 more stable and predictable, thereby improving the accuracy of detecting the defect position;

[0061] After the adjustment of the use angle of the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 is completed, the detection ring 201 can be moved again by using the moving assembly, and in the process of moving the detection ring 201, the two control rods 302 will be moved synchronously, and in the process of moving the two control rods 302, the helical tooth surface 103 will be rotated by using the interaction force between the two control rods 302 and the two adjacent helical tooth surfaces 103, so that the helical tooth surface 103 rotates adaptively in the process of moving the detection tube 202 in the transverse direction, so as to not interfere with the movement of the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204;

[0062] And in the process of the two opposite control rods 302 moving on the surfaces of the two adjacent spiral tooth surfaces 103, the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 will move on the surfaces of the spiral tooth surfaces 103 with a path equal to the root clearance under the abutting action of the two control rods 302 and the two adjacent spiral tooth surfaces 103, and in the process of the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 moving, ultrasonic waves will be emitted to the surfaces of the spiral tooth surfaces 103, and the ultrasonic waves will propagate to the surfaces of the spiral tooth surfaces 103 with a certain frequency and direction, when the ultrasonic waves meet the surfaces of the spiral tooth surfaces 103, because the acoustic impedance of the tooth surface and the surrounding medium (such as air) is different, part of the ultrasonic waves will be reflected back at the interface between the tooth surface and the medium to form interface reflected waves, and another part of the ultrasonic waves will continue to propagate inside the tooth surface, if there are defects such as cracks, pores, etc. inside the tooth surface, because the acoustic impedance of the defects and the surrounding material is different, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected, refracted and scattered again when they meet the defects, among which the reflected waves will propagate to the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204, and the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 will convert the reflected ultrasonic waves into electrical signals after receiving them, the receiving circuit will amplify, filter and process these weak electrical signals to remove interference signals and improve signal quality, the time base circuit will determine the position information corresponding to the reflected signals according to the propagation time of the ultrasonic waves, and the processed signals will be displayed on the screen in the form of waveforms or images through the display circuit, and the operator will judge whether the spiral tooth surface 103 has defects, and the position, size and nature of the defects, etc. according to the displayed waveform characteristics such as amplitude, shape, position, etc. For example, the waveform of a normal tooth surface is relatively regular, only with interface reflected waves and other characteristic signals, if there are defects, additional wave peaks or troughs and other abnormal signals will appear on the waveform, and according to the position and amplitude of these abnormal signals, the specific situation of the defects can be analyzed;

[0063] And in the process of the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 moving, the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 will move on the surfaces of the spiral tooth surfaces 103 with a path equal to the root clearance under the abutting action of the two control rods 302 and the two adjacent spiral tooth surfaces 103, which ensures that the ultrasonic beam is incident to the tooth surface and the inside with a relatively fixed angle and path, thereby helping to reduce the uncertainty of refraction, scattering and attenuation of the acoustic beam, making the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the spiral tooth surface 103 more stable, and thus more accurately reflecting the situation of the tooth surface and the inside, improving the identification and judgment of small defects of the tooth surface, and thereby improving the accuracy of the ultrasonic flaw detection of the screw type air compressor rotor;

[0064] And when adjusting the distance between the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 and the root of the spiral tooth surface 103, the first motor 403 (model RS-550PHF-6537GY, as prior art, not described in detail here) can be started to drive the double-headed threaded rod 402 to rotate, and then under the threaded meshing transmission action of the double-headed threaded rod 402 and the two control plates 301 and the guiding action of the driving rod 401, the two control plates 301 are driven to move away from each other or move close to each other, and then the two control rods 302 are driven to move away from each other or move close to each other, and then the distance between the two control rods 302 is adjusted, and the depth of the two control rods 302 inserted between the adjacent two spiral tooth surfaces 103 is adjusted, and then the adjustment of the distance between the ultrasonic flaw detection head 204 and the root of the tooth surface is realized (for reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 ), so as to adapt to different detection requirements and improve the flexibility of the spiral tooth surface 103 flaw detection.
