Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engine technology, and specifically relates to an aero-engine electric rocking interface device. Background Technology
[0002] In borehole probing operations for a certain type of gas turbine, the high-pressure rotor has a large rotational torque and requires slow, uniform, and stable rotation, making manual rotation difficult to control. Furthermore, due to limitations in the gas turbine installation and test bench, the area near the rotation hole is confined, making manual rotation extremely labor-intensive and requiring three people to work in shifts, placing high demands on manpower. This electric rotation device can meet the required torque for gas turbine rotation, with adjustable speed, saving manpower. Moreover, the person controlling the rotation and the borehole probing operation can be the same person, saving labor costs and reducing borehole probing risks caused by communication breakdowns between the two personnel.
[0003] Previous rotary fixtures were relatively simple and integrated in design. However, during use, due to problems such as unreliable fixing and insufficient hardness of the load-bearing parts, they would fall off multiple times and the load-bearing edges would be damaged.
[0004] Due to the urgency of the model development task, the rotating fixture was initially improved by changing the connection between the rotating tool and the coupling from a single pin to a multi-pin connection. The improved rotating fixture increased the circumferential driving force bearing area and reduced the number of times it would detach during the rotating process. Summary of the Invention

[0017] This application aims to avoid the safety risks of personnel turning in confined spaces and reduce the risk of accidental turning due to poor communication.
[0018] Reducing the number of operators by one saves on labor costs.
[0019] The rotation is smooth, and the borehole view is clear, which is helpful for detecting faults.

[0046] Principle Explanation
[0047] The device is controlled by a controller to rotate the motor, accelerate and decelerate the small sprocket, and drive the large sprocket to rotate through the chain and chain tensioning mechanism, which in turn drives the high-pressure rotor of the engine to rotate.
[0048] IV. Motion Relationship
[0049] a) The screw 11 can rotate around the pin inside the mounting base 12. After loosening the nut, the screw 11 disengages from the bracket 1. Loosening the guide rail screw 24 allows the cantilever 2 to be adjusted significantly along the guide rail of the bracket 11. Once it reaches a position near the designated location, the screw 11 and the cantilever 2 can be aligned perpendicularly. Figure 4 By rotating the nut, the height of the screw 11 can be finely adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the cantilever 2. Finally, the guide rail screw 24 is tightened to fix the cantilever 2.
[0050] b) The large sprocket 42 is divided into two parts along its diameter, each fixed to the coupling 6 by two screws. It is concentric with the coupling and rotates in the same direction as the coupling.
[0051] c) Adjusting the parallel position of the motor adapter shaft 32 and coupling 6. Place the digital level on the level calibration seat 31 on the coupling 6 and the motor respectively, measure the angle difference, and turn the four motor adjusting screws 23 to adjust the adapter shaft 32 and coupling 6 to be parallel, ensuring that the large and small sprockets rotate in the same plane respectively.
[0052] d) The sprocket 47 in the chain tensioning mechanism 44 is fixed in the telescopic support 45 by a pin. The upper end of the sprocket 47 supports the chain 43, and the chain 43 drives the sprocket 47 to rotate around the axis. The telescopic support 45 is supported by a spring, and the limiting pins 48 on both sides restrict the telescopic support 45 to move up and down only along the side wall groove of the support 49.
