DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The application will be further described in detail below in combination with all the drawings.
[0018] Example 1: The embodiments of the application disclose an aero-engine small-diameter elbow high-efficiency ray detection arrangement device.
[0019] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the aero-engine small-diameter elbow high-efficiency ray detection arrangement device comprises a workbench 1, the workbench 1 is provided with an arc-shaped pad 2, the arc-shaped pad 2 is provided with a plug 21 at the bottom, and the workbench 1 is provided with a slot 11 matched with the plug 21. According to the specification of the small-diameter elbow, a corresponding arc-shaped pad 2 is selected, the plug 21 at the bottom of the corresponding arc-shaped pad 2 is inserted into the slot 11 of the workbench 1, and the arc-shaped pad 2 is placed on the workbench 1 and fixed.
[0020] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the arc-shaped pad 2 is provided with a connecting belt 3 with elasticity on both sides above the arc-shaped pad 2, and the arc-shaped pad 2 is provided with a plurality of clamping assemblies, the clamping assembly comprises two movable clamping plates 4, and the movable clamping plates 4 are detachably connected with the connecting belt 3 through a connecting assembly 5. The small-diameter elbow is fixed through the movable clamping plates 4, so that the stability of the small-diameter elbow detection process is improved, and the position of the movable clamping plates 4 is adjusted according to the specification of the small-diameter elbow through the detachable connection of the movable clamping plates 4 and the connecting belt 3, so that the small-diameter elbow of different specifications can be stably detected.
[0021] The connecting band 3 is made of non-metal flexible material, which reduces the influence on the detection of the metal material of the small-diameter elbow pipe. The movable clamping plate 4 is a plastic plate with a height of 10 mm, which plays a clamping role and at the same time reduces the shielding of the movable clamping plate 4 to the weld of the small-diameter elbow pipe, guarantees the best detection effect, shortens the preparation time, and improves the detection efficiency.
[0022] With reference to Figure 3 The connecting assembly 5 includes a first connecting rod 51, a second connecting rod 52, a third connecting rod 53, a first limiting rod 54, a second limiting rod 55, and a third limiting rod 56. The second connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 51 and the third connecting rod 53 at both ends. The first connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable clamping plate 4 away from the second connecting rod 52. The second limiting rod 55 is fixedly connected to the first limiting rod 54 and the third limiting rod 56 at both ends. The first connecting rod 51, the third connecting rod 53, the first limiting rod 54, and the third limiting rod 56 are parallel. The second connecting rod 52 and the second limiting rod 55 are rotationally connected through a rotating rod 57. When it is necessary to connect the connecting band 3 to the movable clamping plate 4 or to move the movable clamping plate 4 along the connecting plate, the second limiting rod 55 is relatively rotated with the second connecting rod 52 through the rotating rod 57, the first connecting rod 51 and the first limiting rod 54 are moved away from each other, the connecting band 3 is placed between the first connecting rod 51 and the first limiting rod 54, the position of the movable clamping plate 4 is adjusted, then the second limiting rod 55 is relatively rotated with the second connecting rod 52 through the rotating rod 57, the first connecting rod 51 and the first limiting rod 54 are moved close to each other, the connecting band 3 is clamped and fixed, and the relative fixation of the movable clamping plate 4 and the connecting band 3 is realized.
[0023] A limiting block 6 is arranged between the third connecting rod 53 and the third limiting rod 56. After the clamping and fixation of the connecting band 3 by the first connecting rod 51 and the first limiting rod 54 are completed, the limiting block 6 is placed between the third connecting band 3 and the third limiting rod 56, which prevents the relative rotation of the second limiting rod 55 and the second connecting rod 52, and improves the stability of the clamping and fixation of the connecting band 3 by the first connecting rod 51 and the first limiting rod 54. When it is necessary to separate the connecting band 3 from the movable clamping plate 4, the limiting block 6 is removed from the third connecting rod 53 and the third limiting rod 56.
[0024] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2Limiting rods are installed between both ends of the two connecting belts 3. Two limiters 7, which cooperate with the limiting rods, are installed on the worktable 1. A movable guide rail 8 is installed on the worktable 1 along the length of the arc-shaped pad 2. A guide block 71, which cooperates with the movable guide rail 8, is installed at the bottom of the limiter 7. The two limiting rods limit the position of the limiting rods, thereby limiting the overall position of the connecting belt 3 and the position of the movable clamping plate 4 connected to the connecting belt 3. By moving the limiter 7 along the movable guide rail 8 via the guide block 71, the position of the limiter 7 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting belt 3 and the movable clamping plate 4, and thus adjusting the position of the clamped and fixed small-diameter curved pipe, improving the detection effect.
[0025] The implementation principle of the high-efficiency X-ray inspection arrangement device for small-diameter bends of aero-engines in this embodiment is as follows: Select the corresponding arc-shaped pad 2 according to the specifications of the small-diameter bend, place the arc-shaped pad 2 on the workbench 1 and fix it, and fix the small-diameter bends by the movable clamp 4 so that the distance between each small-diameter bend and the X-ray source is basically consistent, thereby improving the stability of the small-diameter bend inspection process and ensuring that the film image quality is qualified when the small-diameter bends are inspected in batches.
[0026] Example 2: This application discloses a high-efficiency X-ray inspection arrangement method for small-diameter bends in aero-engines, using the aforementioned high-efficiency X-ray inspection arrangement device for small-diameter bends in aero-engines, including the following steps: S1. Obtain the diameter and weld width of the small-diameter bend; S2. Calculate the distance of the X-ray source offset from the weld center based on the diameter of the small-diameter bend and the weld width. S3. Select the corresponding arc-shaped pad 2 according to the distance of the X-ray source offset from the weld center; S4. Place the arc-shaped pad 2 on the workbench 1, lay a plastic-coated dark bag on the arc-shaped pad 2, and fix the small-diameter bent pipe through the clamping assembly. S5. Perform X-ray inspection on small-diameter bends.
[0027] In step S2, The distance W from which the X-ray source is offset from the weld center is: ; Where f is the vertical distance between the X-ray source and the weld surface, b is the weld width, and D is the workpiece diameter.
[0028] Take the workpiece diameter D=52mm as an example, generally set the height of the radiation source is 2000mm, weld width b=4mm, so the vertical distance f=1948mm between the radiation source and the weld surface, according to the formula, so the weld offset distance from the radiation source is about 300mm. Can be obtained offset 300mm and the straight line distance from the radiation source is 2022mm, therefore, to make the radiation source as the center, radius 2022mm, tangent arc length is 350mm, width is 450mm at 300mm arc-shaped pad 2, so that you can put the maximum size of 350mm×430mm film. Offset distance 150mm-500mm, spacing 50mm, sequentially making each type of arc-shaped pad 2 for standby.
[0029] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, not limited by the protection scope of the present application, therefore: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
