Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, and in particular to a pneumatic testing device and method for generator housing. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated engine generator (IDG) is a core component of the aircraft's power system, converting the mechanical energy provided by the engine into constant-frequency three-phase AC power to provide reliable and stable electricity for the entire aircraft. The generator housing is a magnesium alloy casting, primarily serving as the external protective and support structure for the generator. By forming a sealed space, the generator housing protects the internal precision components from external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, and foreign objects) and prevents internal lubricating oil leakage. If the generator housing leaks lubricating oil due to localized defects, it could lead to abnormal pressure loss in the lubricating oil system, insufficient lubrication and cooling, and ultimately render the entire generator unusable. Furthermore, leaking lubricating oil could potentially trigger an uncontrollable fire in the electrical system.

[0003] The open end face of the generator casing, where various components connect, contains areas with thinner walls, making it prone to damage. After repair, it's necessary to verify its airtightness. However, verifying the overall airtightness of the generator casing is too cumbersome and difficult to quickly target the repaired area. Traditional X-ray and ultrasonic testing equipment is bulky and complex, making it impossible to quickly and conveniently inspect individual repair points on the repair site or assembly line, impacting repair efficiency. Furthermore, X-ray testing poses safety risks and is costly; fluorescent penetrant testing cannot verify internal through-hole defects. Existing technologies fail to provide a low-cost, readily apparent on-site solution. Summary of the Invention

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0020] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] The core concept of this invention is to quickly construct an independent, sealed detection chamber in the inspection area 5 of the generator housing using a modular device, and to fill the chamber with pressurized gas, and finally to achieve detection by judging the sealing performance of the area.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a detailed description of a generator housing aerodynamic testing device and testing method through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the generator housing pneumatic testing device of the present invention includes an air intake device, a sealing device, and a testing section; the sealing device includes a contact 1 and a fastener; the contact 1 is in contact with the area to be tested 5 of the generator housing, forming a sealed testing cavity between the contact 1 and the area to be tested 5. Fasteners are used to press and fix the contact 1 to the housing; the air inlet device is connected to the detection chamber and fills it with a stable and controllable pressure detection gas; The testing unit is used to test the airtightness of the testing chamber, including a pressure monitoring unit and a leak indicator medium. The pressure monitoring unit monitors whether the chamber pressure is stable in real time. At the same time, the operator applies the leak indicator medium to the side of the area to be tested 5 away from the contact 1 to show the leak. By observing whether the pressure measured by the pressure monitoring unit continues to drop, and observing whether continuous bubbles are generated at the application of the leak indicator medium, the operator can make a comprehensive judgment on whether there is a leak defect in the area to be tested 5.

[0024] Specifically, the air intake device is responsible for providing clean, dry, and pressure-controllable detection gas. The air intake device includes a gas source, an air intake pipeline, and a connecting end. The gas source provides the gas power for the detection of this device, preferably a portable air pump, which frees the entire detection device from dependence on fixed compressed air pipelines, greatly improving the device's mobility and field applicability, making it suitable for operation in maintenance workshops or field locations. To ensure pressure control, the output end of the portable air pump is equipped with a control valve. Preferably, the control valve integrates the functions of a pressure reducing valve and a switching valve, used to precisely regulate and stabilize the gas pressure output to the detection chamber. The air intake pipeline is preferably a high-pressure resistant flexible hose, with one end connected to the outlet of the portable air pump and the other end connected to the connecting end. The connecting end is preferably a quick-connect fitting, facilitating quick connection and disconnection between the air intake pipeline and the sealing device, simplifying the operation steps and improving detection efficiency. It should be noted that the air intake device is not shown in the figures; its structure uses existing technology and is not an improvement of this invention, and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, the detection unit is used to perform the final sealing judgment, which needs to be relatively simple and quick, and the detection effect needs to be accurate. The detection unit includes a pressure monitoring unit and a leak indicator medium. The pressure monitoring unit is preferably a digital pressure gauge, which is installed on the air inlet pipe to display the gas pressure value in the detection chamber in real time and accurately. During the pressure holding stage, if the pressure gauge reading shows a continuous and significant drop, it can be directly determined that there is a large leakage defect, without the need for subsequent steps, thus quickly determining the detection result. The leak indicator medium is preferably soapy water, which is evenly applied to the other side of the pressurized inspection area 5 with a brush. If there are microscopic cracks, pores, or other defects in this area that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, the leaked gas will form continuous and clear bubbles in the soapy water film, thereby accurately locating the defect. This method is extremely low in cost, intuitive in effect, and highly sensitive.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sealing device is used to achieve localized precise detection and needs to cooperate with the generator housing to quickly form a reliable detection cavity; The sealing device includes a contact 1 and a fastener; the contact 1 serves as a mounting and mating base for connecting the air intake device and fitting with the area to be inspected 5; the contact 1 is preferably a plate with sufficient rigidity and strength and is not easily deformed; since the contact 1 needs to fit closely with the area to be inspected 5, it can be made separately as a special bearing plate to achieve a tighter fit between the contact 1 and the area to be inspected 5. A detection hole 101 is provided through the contact member 1. One end of the detection hole 101 is used to connect with the connection end of the air intake device, and the other end faces and covers the area to be inspected 5. Specifically, to achieve a reliable connection between the detection hole 101 and the air intake device, the contact member 1 also includes an air intake nozzle 2, which is preferably a pagoda connector for connecting with a quick-connect connector to ensure airtightness. A limiting ring is provided at one end of the pagoda connector, and the other end passes through the detection hole 101 to connect with the quick-connect connector. Since the pagoda connector needs to be limited, a groove is provided on the side of the detection hole 101 near the area to be inspected 5. After the pagoda connector passes through the detection hole 101, the limiting ring is embedded in the groove and abuts against the bottom of the groove, thereby limiting the further movement of the pagoda connector and fixing it on the contact member 1. Specifically, to achieve a seal between the detection hole 101 and the housing, the contact element 1 also includes a sealing ring 4, which is preferably an O-ring rubber seal. The sealing ring 4 is placed in the groove and located between the limiting ring and the surface of the area to be inspected 5 of the housing. When the pagoda connector passes through the detection hole 101 and the limiting ring abuts against the bottom of the groove, one side of the sealing ring 4 is in contact with the limiting ring, and the surface of the other side of the sealing ring 4 extends beyond the surface of the contact element 1 near the area to be inspected 5. When the contact element 1 is fastened to the housing, the sealing ring 4 is uniformly compressed, produces elastic deformation, and tightly fills the gap between the limiting ring and the housing, thereby ensuring the sealing of the detection cavity boundary.

[0026] The fasteners are used to provide sufficient clamping force to ensure a reliable seal and to withstand the reverse force generated by the detected air pressure; the present invention provides two preferred embodiments; Option 1: The fastener includes a vacuum suction cup and a fastening bolt 3; the vacuum suction cup is fixed to a smooth and flat position on the housing by its own vacuum generator (not shown in the figure, which can be manual or electric); the vacuum suction cup is provided with a fixing hole 6 with internal thread; a through hole is opened on the contact member 1 at the position corresponding to the fixing hole 6. Specifically, during installation, the fastening bolt 3 is passed through the through hole from above the contact 1 and screwed into the fixing hole 6 of the vacuum suction cup; when the bolt is tightened, the contact 1 is pulled towards the vacuum suction cup, so that the sealing ring 4 below it is tightly pressed against the area to be inspected 5 to form a seal; this solution does not require drilling holes in the housing, is a non-destructive clamping method, and has wide applicability. Option 2: The fastener is a fastening bolt 3. In this case, a fixing hole 6 is pre-drilled on the generator housing. In this embodiment, the generator housing originally has a threaded hole. A through hole is opened on the contact 1 at the position corresponding to the fixing hole 6. During installation, the fastening bolt 3 is passed through the through hole on the contact 1 and screwed directly into the fixing hole 6 of the housing. By tightening the bolt, the contact 1 can be directly pressed onto the area to be inspected 5. This option has the simplest structure, strong connection rigidity, and high reliability, and can be applied to areas to be inspected 5 where mounting holes are pre-set.

[0027] This application also discloses a method for aerodynamic testing of a generator housing, applied to a generator housing aerodynamic testing device, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Use a lint-free cloth dampened with anhydrous ethanol or acetone to thoroughly clean the oil, dust, rust and other impurities from the generator housing area 5 to be inspected and its surrounding surfaces; ensure that the surface of the area to be inspected (especially the repair welds) is clean and dry to ensure the reliability of the subsequent sealing and the accuracy of the bubble detection. Specifically, inspect each component of the testing device, confirming that the portable air pump has sufficient oil and power, that the pipeline connections are correct, and that there are no air leaks; confirm that the sealing ring 4 (O-ring) is intact and without permanent deformation, and that it is correctly installed in the groove of contact 1. Check that the fasteners (vacuum suction cup or fastening bolt 3) are functioning properly; confirm that the digital pressure gauge has sufficient power and that the reading returns to zero accurately. Prepare a rated soap solution and a soft brush. Step S2: Accurately align the contact part 1 (plate) of the sealing device with and completely cover the inspection area 5 to be inspected, and operate according to the selected fastener type; Specifically, if using a vacuum suction cup for fastening: first, press the vacuum suction cup onto a flat area of ​​the housing surface and apply a vacuum to fix it. Then, align the through hole on the contact 1 with the fixing hole 6 on the suction cup, insert the fastening bolt 3 and tighten it evenly, so that the contact 1 is pressed smoothly against the housing until the sealing ring 4 is evenly compressed, forming a preliminary seal; If using direct bolt fastening: Align the through hole on the contact 1 with the pre-made fixing hole 6 on the housing, directly insert the fastening bolt 3 and tighten it step by step, diagonally and evenly to ensure that the contact 1 is subjected to uniform force and press the sealing ring 4 tightly against the housing surface. At this point, the contact element 1, the sealing ring 4, and the area to be inspected on the generator housing 5 together form a sealed testing chamber; Step S3: Quickly connect the quick-connect fitting on the air intake pipe of the air intake device to the air intake nozzle 2 fixed on the contact 1, turn on the power of the portable air pump, and then slowly rotate the adjustment knob of the control valve (pressure reducing valve) to preset the output pressure to the specified value. It should be noted that the preset pressure needs to be determined according to the structural strength and safety standards of the area to be inspected 5 to avoid damage to thin-walled components due to excessive pressure; slowly open the switch valve of the control valve to start filling the test chamber with clean compressed air or nitrogen; the filling process should be smooth and slow to facilitate observation of the pressure rise and to allow the gas in the chamber to stabilize; Step S4: When the digital pressure gauge reading reaches the preset pressure value, quickly shut off the switch valve and air supply. The pressure holding phase begins at this point. Record the initial pressure value P1 and start timing; the pressure holding time is typically set to T minutes. During the pressure holding period, closely observe the changes in the digital pressure gauge reading. Specifically, if the pressure gauge reading shows a significant and sustained decrease, it indicates a macroscopic leak in the testing chamber. In this case, the sealing performance of the area under inspection (5) is immediately determined to be substandard, and no further microscopic assessment is required. Proceed directly to step six to depressurize. If the pressure gauge reading remains stable or the decrease is within the allowable error range throughout the entire pressure holding time, it indicates that there is no macroscopic leakage, and the macroscopic judgment is passed. After the pressure test is passed, under the pressure holding state, use a brush to evenly and completely apply soapy water to the outer surface and surrounding area of ​​the entire area to be inspected 5, forming a thin liquid film; under sufficient light, carefully observe the area covered with soapy water for at least 1 minute. Specifically, if continuously generated and gradually enlarging bubbles appear anywhere within the inspection area 5 or the contour of the sealing ring 4, it indicates the presence of a microscopic leakage defect (such as a microcrack or pinhole). The location and size of the defect should be recorded immediately. If no bubbles are generated on the surface of the inspected area during the entire observation period, or only a few isolated, no-growing microbubbles (usually attached gas) are found, then the sealing performance of the inspected area 5 is deemed to be qualified. Step S5: After the test is completed, the pressure must be released first; slowly open the pressure relief valve on the air intake device or contact 1 to safely and slowly release all the gas in the test chamber; after the pressure gauge confirms that the pressure in the chamber is zero, remove the fastening bolt 3 or release the vacuum suction cup to remove contact 1 from the generator housing; use a clean dry cloth to wipe off the soap water residue on the surface of the housing, and perform simple cleaning and maintenance on the device itself in preparation for the next use.
