Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of gas turbine technology, and more specifically to a plasma spraying system applied to turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] Plasma spraying is a surface treatment technology used to prepare protective or functional coatings on workpiece surfaces. In plasma spraying operations on precision components such as turbine blades, the traditional method typically involves sequential operations within a single, enclosed spray booth. Currently, the common approach is as follows: First, the operator installs and secures the workpiece to be sprayed and then leaves the work area. The plasma spray gun is then activated for spraying. After the spraying of a single workpiece is completed, the plasma spray gun is turned off. Once the work area has fully cooled and dust has settled, the operator enters or opens the work area, removes the sprayed workpiece, and installs a new workpiece to be sprayed. The spray gun is then reignited for the next round of operations.

[0003] However, in practice, it has been found that the following technical problems are frequently encountered when using traditional plasma spraying methods: Frequent ignition and shutdown significantly shorten the lifespan of plasma spray gun electrodes, leading to frequent shutdowns for electrode replacement and increased costs. Furthermore, a significant amount of time is spent on workpiece replacement, cooling, and ventilation of the work area during each of the two workpiece coating tasks, resulting in low equipment utilization. During workpiece replacement, personnel still need to enter or come into close contact with the work area, and residual heat radiation and dust can cause burns to operators.

[0018] The various embodiments disclosed above have the following beneficial effects: The plasma spraying system applied to turbine blades according to some embodiments of this disclosure can improve spraying efficiency, extend the electrode life of the plasma spray gun, and enhance operational safety. The reasons for the low spraying efficiency, low electrode life of the plasma spray gun, and low operational safety in the prior art are as follows: frequent ignition and shutdown significantly shorten the electrode life of the plasma spray gun, leading to frequent shutdowns for electrode replacement and increased costs; in every two workpieces sprayed, a significant amount of time is spent between workpiece replacement, cooling, and ventilation of the work area, resulting in low equipment utilization; during workpiece replacement, personnel still need to enter or be in close contact with the work area, and residual heat radiation and dust can cause burns to operators. Based on this, some embodiments of the plasma spraying system for turbine blades disclosed herein are characterized in that the plasma spraying system includes a spray booth, a spraying device, and a turntable assembly. The spray booth includes a sealed working area, which is divided into a work area and a preparation area by a partition wall. The work area is the area for spraying the turbine blades, and the preparation area is the area for switching between placed turbine blades. The spraying device includes a robotic arm and a plasma spray gun. The robotic arm is mounted on the ground of the work area, and its end is connected to the plasma spray gun. The turntable assembly includes a main turntable and an auxiliary turntable assembly. The main turntable is fixed to the partition wall, and its rotation axis is located on the upper... The separation between the work area and the preparation area is as follows: the main turntable is equipped with the auxiliary turntable assembly, which includes at least two rotating discs, each of which is configured to rotate around its included axis; the edge of the main turntable is provided with an annular sealing ring, and the partition wall is provided with an arc-shaped sealing groove, which, together with the annular sealing ring, forms a dynamic sealing structure. The main turntable and the rotating disc assembly can pass through the arc-shaped sealing groove when rotating, and the dynamic sealing structure is used to block dust; the plasma spray gun is in an ignition state during the process of the main turntable driving the rotating discs to switch positions between the work area and the preparation area, and the duration of a single position switch of the main turntable is less than or equal to a preset duration. Because the spray booth is divided into a work area and a preparation area, and the rotation axis of the main turntable is located at the partition wall between the work area and the preparation area, the auxiliary turntable of the main turntable can switch positions between the work area and the preparation area. Thus, while the workpiece is being sprayed in the work area, another workpiece can be loaded, unloaded and prepared in the preparation area, realizing parallel operation of spraying and workpiece change. This can reduce the waiting time required for spraying operations and improve the utilization rate of spraying operations.Furthermore, because the plasma spray gun remains ignited during the station switching process driven by the main turntable, and the single switching time of the main turntable is less than the preset value, the plasma spray gun can maintain continuous and stable operation for a long time, reducing electrode wear caused by thermal cycling, thereby extending the electrode life of the plasma spray gun. Also, because the dynamic sealing structure of the plasma spray gun and turntable assembly connected to the end effector of the robotic arm, as well as the exhaust device on the top of the spray booth, effectively isolates the sprayed powder from high-temperature radiation in a closed working area, the risk of operators coming into contact with high-temperature workpieces, inhaling dust, or suffering heat radiation burns can be reduced, thus enhancing operational safety.

The spray booth 6 provides a sealed, isolated working environment to accommodate the spraying by the plasma spray gun 2 and ensure user safety. The spraying device is used to perform plasma spraying on turbine blades. The turntable assembly is used to carry and transport the turbine blades to be sprayed.

[0033] In some embodiments, the spray booth 6 may include a sealed working area. This sealed working area can be divided into a work area and a preparation area by a partition wall 1. The work area is for spraying the turbine blades. The preparation area is for switching the placed turbine blades. The sealed working area can be constructed by welding steel plates to achieve a sealed environment. The partition wall 1 is connected to the body of the spray booth 6 by continuous full welding to ensure good airtightness between the work area and the preparation area. The partition wall 1 can be made of steel plates with reinforcing ribs. The sealed working area can be rectangular in shape. Users can replace the sprayed turbine blades with unsprayed turbine blades in the preparation area.

[0034] In some embodiments, the spraying device may include a robotic arm 4 and a plasma spray gun 2. The robotic arm 4 may be mounted on the ground in front of the work area. The end of the robotic arm 4 may be connected to the plasma spray gun 2. The robotic arm 4 may be a six-axis articulated robot. The plasma spray gun 2 may be an atmospheric plasma rotary spray gun. The head end of the robotic arm 4 may be bolted to a base, which may be cast and fixed to the ground in front of the work area. The end of the robotic arm 4 may be connected to the plasma spray gun 2 via a quick-connect coupling.

[0035] In some embodiments, the turntable assembly may include a main turntable 5 and an auxiliary turntable assembly. The main turntable 5 may be fixed to the partition wall 1. The rotation axis of the main turntable 5 may be located at the separation point between the work area and the preparation area. The main turntable 5 may be a CNC rotary table. The main turntable 5 may be fixed to the partition wall 1 via a mounting bracket. The separation point may represent the center plane of the partition wall 1. The center plane may represent a plane parallel to two opposing surfaces of the partition wall 1 and located at the midpoint of the thickness of the partition wall 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the auxiliary turntable assembly may be mounted on the main turntable 5. The auxiliary turntable assembly may include at least two rotating discs. Each rotating disc is configured to rotate about its included axis. The two rotating discs are symmetrically arranged on the main turntable 5. Both rotating discs can be mounted on the main turntable 5 via a rotation shaft at their bottom. Specifically, the rotation shaft can be mounted in the mounting hole of the main turntable 5 via a linear bearing. The rotating disc can be a single-axis positioner.

[0037] In some embodiments, the edge of the main turntable 5 may be provided with an annular sealing ring. The partition wall 1 may be provided with an arc-shaped sealing groove. The arc-shaped sealing groove and the annular sealing ring can form a dynamic sealing structure. The main turntable 5 and the auxiliary turntable assembly can pass through the arc-shaped sealing groove during rotation. The dynamic sealing structure can be used to block dust. The annular sealing ring can be a ring-shaped sealing ring. The inner diameter of the sealing ring can be 80 mm, the outer diameter can be 90 mm, and the thickness can be 5 mm. The width of the arc-shaped sealing groove can be 6 mm, and the depth can be 4 mm. The annular sealing ring can be fixed to the edge of the main turntable 5 by welding. The arc-shaped sealing groove can be formed by milling during the prefabrication of the partition wall 1. The shape of the annular sealing ring is adapted to the shape of the arc-shaped sealing groove. The width of the arc-shaped sealing groove can be greater than the target thickness. The target thickness can represent the sum of the thickness of the annular sealing ring and the thickness of the auxiliary turntable assembly, so that the main turntable 5 and the auxiliary turntable assembly can pass through the arc-shaped sealing groove when rotating.

[0038] In some embodiments, the plasma spray gun 2 can be in an ignition state during the process of the main turntable 5 driving the self-rotating disk to switch positions between the working area and the preparation area. The duration of a single position switch by the main turntable 5 is less than or equal to a preset duration. The preset duration can be 3 seconds. This preset duration can reduce electrode wear caused by frequent start-stop of the plasma spray gun 2, thereby extending the service life of the plasma spray gun 2 and shortening the production cycle of the plasma spraying system, thus improving the equipment utilization rate and spraying production efficiency of the plasma spraying system.

[0039] Optionally, a protective door can be installed on the outer wall of the preparation area. The work area can be equipped with a test piece fixing structure. The protective door can be an electrically operated sliding door. The outer wall of the preparation area can be the side of the spray booth 6 facing the plasma spray gun 2 and away from it. The protective door can be welded to the outer wall of the preparation area. The protective door is used to isolate personnel in the preparation area from the work area. The test piece fixing structure can be an adjustable claw-type clamp. The test piece fixing structure can be used to fix the test piece. The aforementioned test piece can be a pre-prepared metal sheet of the same or similar material as the turbine blade substrate to be coated. Before coating the turbine blade, the test piece is used to test whether the coating effect of the plasma spray gun 2 meets the requirements. This reduces waste of the turbine blade. If the coating effect of the plasma spray gun 2 on the turbine blade meets the requirements, then the plasma spray gun 2 will proceed with the coating. The requirements for the coating effect are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The test piece fixing structure can be installed in the work area via a detachable mounting arm. Specifically, one end of the mounting arm can be fixed to the side wall of the work area via a flange, and the other end of the mounting arm can be connected to the test piece fixing structure. The outer wall of the preparation area can represent the wall surface of the preparation area building.

[0040] Optionally, the horizontal distance between the aforementioned specimen fixing structure and the center of the aforementioned working area can be 200~300mm. The distance between the aforementioned specimen fixing structure and the inner wall of the aforementioned working area can be greater than or equal to 150mm. The specimen fixing structure can be located on the aforementioned main turntable 5. The aforementioned turbine blades can be mounted and fixed on the aforementioned auxiliary turntable 3. The aforementioned horizontal distance and the turbine blades fixed on the aforementioned auxiliary turntable 3 ensure that both the specimen and the turbine blades are within the main process area of ​​the plasma jet, thereby reflecting the typical process conditions of the aforementioned main process area. This allows the test results of the obtained specimens to be used to evaluate the stability of the process. The aforementioned main process area can be a cylindrical space formed with the rotation axis of the aforementioned main turntable 5 as the center and the radius of the aforementioned main turntable 5 as the boundary. The radius of the aforementioned main turntable 5 can be 1400mm. The radius of the auxiliary turntable 3 in the aforementioned auxiliary turntable group is not limited; the diameter of the aforementioned auxiliary turntable 3 only needs to be smaller than the radius of the aforementioned main turntable 5. The aforementioned typical process conditions represent the deposition environment formed by setting the plasma power, main gas flow rate, and powder delivery rate within the main process area of ​​the plasma spraying system. Maintaining a distance of at least 150 mm between the specimen fixing structure and the inner wall of the work area reduces the impact of airflow disturbance, dust deposition, and temperature field inhomogeneity on the specimen coating caused by the inner wall of the spray booth 6. The inner wall of the work area can characterize the sidewall of the work area.

[0041] Optionally, the plasma spraying system may further include a linkage control structure. This linkage control structure can be used to control the closing of the protective door when the main turntable 5 rotates. The linkage control structure may include a safety door switch installed on the protective door and a programmable logic controller (PLC). The safety door switch may be a non-contact coded safety door switch. The PLC may be communicatively connected to the safety door switch. The PLC and the safety door switch may be connected via hardwiring. In operation, the safety door switch detects the closing status of the protective door and outputs a safety coded signal to the PLC. The PLC is configured to allow the main turntable 5 to start rotating when it continuously receives a valid safety coded signal indicating that the safety door is safely closed; and to stop the rotation of the main turntable 5 when the received valid safety coded signal is interrupted or invalid. The safety coded signal may be a sequence of current pulses with an amplitude of ±12mA. The aforementioned effective security coding signal can be a signal whose amplitude of the aforementioned current pulse sequence is within the range of ±10mA to ±14mA, whose pulse width is less than 1 microsecond, and whose device unique code is consistent with the preset code and whose cyclic redundancy check code calculation result is correct after decoding.

[0042] Optionally, the rotation of the aforementioned rotary tables can all be driven by a drive motor. Each rotary table in the aforementioned auxiliary rotary table group can be equipped with a quick-change workpiece fixture. The aforementioned quick-change workpiece fixture can all adopt a three-point positioning structure. Specifically, the aforementioned quick-change workpiece fixture can include a quick-change interface for quick connection with the aforementioned rotary table, and a clamp for clamping the turbine blades. The aforementioned clamp uses a three-point positioning method to fix the aforementioned turbine blades, thereby achieving rapid and stable clamping of the aforementioned turbine blades. Here, the reference points of the aforementioned three-point positioning structure are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual conditions; it is sufficient to fix the turbine blades through three points.

[0043] Optionally, an exhaust system can be installed on the top of the spray booth 6. This exhaust system is configured for continuous operation. The exhaust system can be a centrifugal fan. First, an installation opening can be pre-drilled in the top of the spray booth 6, and a rigid mounting base can be welded to it. Then, the bottom of the exhaust system can be connected to the mounting base via a spring shock absorber to absorb vibrations generated during operation. The exhaust system is used to promptly remove dust and exhaust gases generated by the plasma spraying system during spraying operations and to maintain necessary ventilation and negative pressure in the work area.

[0044] Optionally, the inner wall of the spray booth 6 can be covered with a heat-insulating and reflective coating. A high-temperature resistant exhaust duct can be installed on the top of the spray booth 6. The heat-insulating and reflective coating can be a composite gradient coating. The composite gradient coating can include a base layer, a middle layer, and an outer layer. The base layer can be a high-temperature resistant ceramic base layer bonded to the inner wall of the spray booth 6. The middle layer can be an aluminum coating. The outer layer can be a coating made of an anti-condensation material. The total thickness of the heat-insulating and reflective coating can be 0.5~1.2mm. The high-temperature resistant exhaust duct can be a stainless steel water-cooled jacketed duct. The inner wall of the high-temperature resistant exhaust duct can be lined with a wear-resistant ceramic lining. The jacket of the stainless steel water-cooled jacketed duct can have at least five annular turbulence-inducing ribs. The outer edges of the turbulence-inducing ribs can be in close contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel water-cooled jacketed duct to form a turbulent flow chamber. The wear-resistant ceramic lining can be chromium oxide-based ceramic. The heat-insulating and reflective coating can be prepared using a supersonic flame spraying process. The aforementioned anti-condensation material can be carbon resin. The air inlet of the aforementioned high-temperature exhaust pipe can be fixed to the exhaust port pre-reserved on the top of the spray booth 6 via a flange connection. The aforementioned high-temperature exhaust pipe can be fixed to the roof of the spray booth 6 via a bracket or hanger. The aforementioned turbulence ribs can be installed within the jacket of the stainless steel water-cooled jacketed pipe via continuous welds. The total thickness of the aforementioned heat-insulating reflective coating can provide sufficient thermal resistance. The aforementioned heat-insulating reflective coating can be used to reflect the radiant heat generated during spraying and reduce the temperature of the inner wall of the spray booth 6. The aforementioned high-temperature exhaust pipe can withstand and continuously discharge high-temperature exhaust gas. The wear-resistant ceramic lining on the inner wall of the aforementioned high-temperature exhaust pipe can reduce the scouring, wear, and corrosion caused by solid particles generated during the plasma spray gun 2 spraying. The aforementioned turbulence chamber can increase the heat exchange rate between the cooling water of the aforementioned stainless steel water-cooled jacketed pipe and the inner wall of the aforementioned stainless steel water-cooled jacketed pipe by forcibly generating turbulence, ensuring the stable operation of the aforementioned plasma spraying system. The above-mentioned heat-insulating and reflective coating is prepared by supersonic flame spraying process (supersonic flame spraying technology), which can enable the heat-insulating and reflective coating to maintain its integrity in a long-term and high-temperature environment, and reduce the possibility of the heat-insulating and reflective coating peeling and failing easily.

[0045] In addressing the aforementioned technical problems in the application scenario—specifically, in a large-scale, continuous coating remanufacturing production line for heavy turbine blades—the following technical problem often arises: Air disturbances (such as lateral shear flow) generated during the high-speed rotation of the main rotary table and station switching continuously act on the plasma jet, causing geometrical deviations and thermodynamic fluctuations. This results in excessive coating thickness variations between the leading and trailing edges of the blades, discrete coating bonding strength, and powder contamination of adjacent cleaning stations due to airflow. Based on the following requirements for this application scenario: adapting to and overcoming persistent, periodically recurring complex airflow interference, and ensuring stable coating quality without sacrificing production cycle time and continuity, we have decided to adopt the following solution: Optionally, the end effector of the aforementioned robotic arm can be rigidly connected to a stabilizing chamber. The stabilizing chamber can be horn-shaped. The stabilizing chamber is divided into a protection zone and a suction zone by a partition. The protection zone can be located in front of the partition. The suction zone can be located behind the partition. An annular air collection chamber can be welded onto the wall of the stabilizing chamber. A predetermined number of micro-jet orifice arrays can be provided on the side wall of the protection zone near the partition. The micro-jet orifice array can radially penetrate the wall of the stabilizing chamber. The micro-jet orifice array communicates with the annular air collection chamber, which can be connected to a compressed air source through a pipeline. The suction zone can be flexibly connected to the exhaust device through a bellows. A first predetermined number of guide vanes can be installed in the working area. The first predetermined number of guide vanes are all radially arranged. The shape of the guide vanes in the first predetermined number of guide vanes can all be airfoil-shaped. A flow-rectifying grid can be provided on the side of the partition wall near the edge of the rotating disk. The blade direction of the aforementioned rectifying grid can be at a preset angle to the tangent direction of the aforementioned main turntable. The aforementioned annular gas collection chamber can represent an annular cavity disposed on the wall of the aforementioned stabilizer. The front of the aforementioned partition faces the aforementioned working area. The aforementioned stabilizer can be bolted to the flange at the end of the aforementioned robotic arm via its rear flange. The aforementioned stabilizer can be used to collect and guide the high-temperature exhaust gas and splashed particles generated during plasma spraying. The aforementioned micro-jet orifice array can be formed by laser drilling or electrical discharge machining. The aforementioned micro-jet orifice array can be a preset number of micro-jet orifices arranged in a circumferentially interlaced spiral pattern. The preset number of turns can be 3 to 5 turns. The preset number can be 60. All of the aforementioned micro-jet orifices can be orifices with a large inlet and a small outlet. The aforementioned circumferentially interlaced spiral arrangement can reduce interference between adjacent jets. The aforementioned micro-jet orifices can be conical structures with a taper of (1:5) to (1:10) and an aperture of 0.3 to 0.8 mm. This conical structure accelerates compressed air as it passes through the orifice, creating a high-speed jet and enhancing the air curtain's resistance to the shear force of the lateral airflow. The micro-jet orifice array and the annular air-collecting chamber allow compressed air to enter the annular air-collecting chamber and then be ejected uniformly and stably through the micro-jet orifice array, forming an air curtain around the jet from the plasma spray gun. This prevents the lateral airflow generated by the rotation of the main turntable from impacting the jet. The aforementioned piping is a polyurethane flexible hose with a filter. The corrugated pipe allows the piping to extend, contract, and bend without leakage as the stabilizing chamber moves with the robotic arm. The compressed air source can be a device capable of providing a continuous, stable, and clean supply of compressed gas. For example, the compressed air source can be compressed air supplied by a pre-installed compressed air network within the factory building housing the plasma spray booth system. The guide plate can be bolted to the side wall of the work area. The aforementioned baffle plate can be used to guide and stabilize the airflow field within the aforementioned spray booth 6.The aforementioned first preset quantity can be 6. The aforementioned rectifier grille type can be a grille wing. The aforementioned rectifier grille can be used to cut and straighten the airflow generated when the aforementioned main turntable rotates at high speed. The aforementioned preset angle can be 45°. The aforementioned first preset quantity of guide plates can all be fixed to the aforementioned working area by bolts. The mounting axis of the aforementioned guide plates points to the rotation center of the aforementioned main turntable to guide the airflow to flow centripetally and stably. The aforementioned rectifier grille can be welded to the aforementioned partition wall.

[0046] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem two: the coating thickness at the leading and trailing edges of the blade is out of tolerance, the coating bonding strength is discrete, and the powder is carried away by the airflow, contaminating the cleaning work of adjacent stations. The reasons for this are as follows: air disturbances (such as lateral shear flow) generated during the high-speed rotation of the main turntable when switching stations continuously act on the plasma jet, causing geometrical shifts and thermodynamic fluctuations in the plasma jet, which in turn leads to the coating thickness at the leading and trailing edges of the blade being out of tolerance, the coating bonding strength being discrete, and the powder being carried away by the airflow, contaminating the cleaning work of adjacent stations. To achieve this effect, the compressed gas in the plasma spraying system disclosed herein can be uniformly ejected from the micro-jet orifice array through the annular gas collection chamber, forming a stable air curtain around the plasma jet emitted by the plasma spray gun. This isolates the surrounding hot air containing dust from back-seeping, thereby protecting the area of ​​the plasma jet from interference. Furthermore, because the aforementioned suction zone can utilize the continuous negative pressure generated by the bellows, it can actively and directionally remove waste heat and dust generated during the spraying process, reducing the disorderly diffusion of dust. Additionally, because the aforementioned work area is equipped with six radially arranged airfoil guides, it can guide the airflow within the spray booth to form a stable flow field converging from the periphery to the center. Moreover, the pre-angled flow straightening grille can smooth out the lateral turbulent airflow generated by the turbine blades' rotation, thereby reducing the continuous effect of air disturbances generated during station switching on the plasma jet, which could lead to excessive coating thickness at the leading and trailing edges of the blades.

[0047] In addressing the aforementioned technical problems in the application scenario—specifically, the continuous production and delivery cycle of hot channel blades for heavy-duty gas turbines—often presents the following technical problem: Under the extreme production cycle driven by delivery cycle pressure, the main turntable needs to start, stop, and rotate at a higher frequency and in a shorter time. The resulting transient centrifugal force and start-stop impact vibration are transmitted to the turntable and the quick-change tooling, causing elastic sliding or wobbling of the blade relative to the tooling positioning surface by several micrometers to tens of micrometers. This results in localized excessively thin coatings or missed areas, as well as inconsistent coating thickness among different blades in the same batch. Based on the following requirements for this application scenario: adapting to positioning accuracy under high-frequency start-stop rotation, meeting the zero-discretion requirements of key coating indicators in large-volume continuous operations, and ensuring absolute stability of the entire batch's quality output within the delivery cycle, we have decided to adopt the following solution: Optionally, an end-face gear plate is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft of the aforementioned rotary disk, and the tooth profile of the end-face gear plate is a bidirectional involute tooth profile; end-face gear plate meshing seats are respectively provided at the connection points between the main rotary disk and the loading / unloading stations in the aforementioned working area and the aforementioned preparation area; each end-face gear plate meshing seat includes a rigid base and a floating pressure plate, and the floating pressure plate is connected to the rigid base through an elastic element to form a floating support structure; the meshing surface of the floating pressure plate is provided with a toothed structure, and the toothed structure meshes with the toothed structure of the end-face gear plate; the rotating shaft of the aforementioned rotary disk is installed in the mounting hole of the aforementioned main rotary disk through a linear bearing, so that the aforementioned rotary disk can float up and down; a first cylinder is provided in the aforementioned working area, and a second cylinder is provided in the aforementioned preparation area. The end-face gear plate can be mounted to the bottom of the aforementioned rotary disk via a flange. The end-face gear plate meshing seat can be provided at the connection points between the aforementioned main rotary disk and the loading / unloading stations in the aforementioned working area and the aforementioned preparation area via a flange. The aforementioned end-face gear plate is used for rigid locking when engaging with the aforementioned end-face gear plate meshing seat, thereby reducing rotation or angular deviation that occurs during the operation of the aforementioned rotary disk. The aforementioned elastic element can be a helical compression spring. The aforementioned elastic element is used to ensure that when the aforementioned cylinder lifts the aforementioned rotary disk and the aforementioned end-face gear plate engages with the aforementioned floating pressure plate, the clamping force is evenly distributed, thereby achieving a tight fit across the entire tooth surface. The aforementioned first cylinder can be mounted in the aforementioned working area via a flange, and the aforementioned second cylinder can be mounted in the aforementioned preparation area via a flange. Both the aforementioned first cylinder and the aforementioned second cylinder can be guide cylinders. The aforementioned first cylinder is used to extend its piston rod and lift the aforementioned rotary disk upward when the aforementioned rotary disk rotates to the aforementioned spraying station in the aforementioned working area. The aforementioned second cylinder is used to extend its piston rod and lift the aforementioned rotary disk upward when the aforementioned rotary disk rotates to the aforementioned loading / unloading station in the aforementioned preparation area. A non-contact proximity switch is fixedly installed on the aforementioned partition wall at the positions of the aforementioned preset spraying station in the aforementioned working area and the aforementioned preset loading / unloading station in the aforementioned preparation area. On the main turntable, at the corresponding mounting position of the self-rotating disc, a metal sensor is fixedly installed. The non-contact proximity switch and the metal sensor are used to detect the rotational position of the self-rotating disc. The preset loading and unloading stations can characterize the positions on the auxiliary turntable assembly used to place turbine blades.

[0048] The above-mentioned linkage control structure is configured as follows: In response to the detected rotation signal of the rotary table in the work area, the piston rod of the first cylinder is extended. In operation, when the main rotary table rotates, it moves a rotary table that has already been painted from the work area to the preparation area, and simultaneously moves a rotary table loaded with a new workpiece from the preparation area to the work area. During this process, the rotary table entering the preparation area enters the sensing area of ​​a non-contact proximity switch at a preset loading / unloading position in the preparation area. The non-contact proximity switch is triggered and sends a high-level switching signal to the linkage control structure. This high-level switching signal can be defined as the rotation signal of the rotary table in the work area.

[0049] In response to the detected rotation signal of the rotary table in the preparation area, the piston rod of the second cylinder is extended. In operation, when the main rotary table rotates, it moves a rotary table that has already been painted from the work area to the preparation area, and simultaneously moves a rotary table loaded with a new workpiece from the preparation area to the work area. During this process, the rotary table entering the work area enters the sensing area of ​​a non-contact proximity switch at a preset loading / unloading position in the work area. The non-contact proximity switch is triggered and sends a high-level switching signal to the linkage control structure. This high-level switching signal can be defined as the rotation signal of the rotary table in the preparation area.

[0050] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem three: localized thin coatings or missed areas, and poor coating thickness consistency among different blades in the same batch. The reasons for these issues are as follows: Under the extreme production cycle driven by delivery cycle pressure, the main turntable needs to start, stop, and rotate at a higher frequency and in a shorter time. The resulting transient centrifugal force and start-stop impact vibration are transmitted to the turntable and the quick-change tooling, causing the blades to elastically slide or wobble relative to the tooling positioning surface by several micrometers to tens of micrometers, resulting in localized thin coatings or missed areas, and poor coating thickness consistency among different blades in the same batch. To achieve this effect, in the plasma spraying system of this disclosure, the end-face toothed disk and the end-face toothed disk meshing seat ensure that the turbine blades will not rotate circumferentially during spraying or loading / unloading, even if affected by the reaction force generated during plasma spraying. This reduces the uneven coating thickness of the turbine blades after spraying due to workpiece drift. Furthermore, because the aforementioned floating support structure allows the elastic element to provide continuous and uniform clamping force when the first and second cylinders drive the floating pressure plate to press down and lock, the toothed surface of the floating pressure plate can adaptively and tightly fit with the toothed surface of the end face gear, thus ensuring reliability even under high-frequency and long-cycle use. Also, when switching workstations, the first and second cylinders retract, and the rotary table disengages from the end face gear meshing seat under neutral action, facilitating free rotation of the main rotary table. When the rotary table rotates to the target workstation, the piston rod of the corresponding cylinder extends, lifting the rotary table upwards, thus rigidly locking the end face gear with the upper floating pressure plate meshing seat. Therefore, it reduces the possibility of jamming, incomplete positioning, or mis-locking that may occur when relying on friction or simple pin positioning.

[0051] In addressing the technical problems mentioned above, and considering the application scenario where plasma spraying systems operate continuously under high loads for more than a critical time (e.g., 6 hours), the following technical problem often arises: the working state of key high-temperature components such as the plasma spray gun and stabilization chamber undergoes slow, subtle, and irreversible time-shift drift, causing the actual physical parameters of the spraying process to gradually deviate from the set window, resulting in poor coating quality. Based on the following requirements for this application scenario—adaptability to extreme continuous operation conditions, long-term stable high-precision output of the process system, and consistency of coating quality between the first and last coats—we have decided to adopt the following solution: Optionally, a predetermined number of heat dissipation fins are welded onto the outer shell of the aforementioned stable chamber; each of the aforementioned heat dissipation fins is internally connected to a cooling water pipe, which is connected in parallel to the main cooling water circuit of the aforementioned stable chamber; a measuring bracket is installed on the aforementioned partition wall, and the installation position of the measuring bracket is directly opposite the opening of the aforementioned stable chamber; the measuring bracket is equipped with at least three laser rangefinders, and the measuring beam of each of the at least three laser rangefinders is focused on the edge of the opening of the aforementioned stable chamber; a second predetermined number of annular heat sinks are fitted onto the rear cavity of the aforementioned plasma spray gun, and a thermal pad is sandwiched between each adjacent heat sink; The aforementioned thermal pad encapsulates a heat pipe, the end of which extends to a cooling fan. The aforementioned measuring bracket is also equipped with a water-cooled base, on which an infrared temperature sensor is mounted. A compressed air nozzle is connected to the rear of the water-cooled base, with its outlet facing the observation window of the infrared temperature sensor. The aforementioned stable chamber is mounted on the end effector of the aforementioned robotic arm via a micro-motion platform. The micro-motion platform may include three independently extendable adjusting screws, each driven by a servo motor. These adjusting screws are configured to adjust the spatial angle and position of the stable chamber based on feedback signals from the aforementioned laser rangefinder. The preset number of rotations can be 5. The second preset quantity can be 8 pieces. The heat dissipation fins can be continuous straight fins. The heat dissipation fins can be used to increase the heat dissipation area. The main cooling water channel of the stable chamber can be a flow channel machined inside the outer shell of the stable chamber. The aforementioned laser rangefinder can be threaded onto the aforementioned measuring bracket. The laser rangefinder can be used to measure the spatial coordinates of the edge of the opening of the stable chamber. The laser rangefinder sensor described above can be a laser triangulation displacement sensor. The cooling fan can be mounted on the rear cavity of the plasma spray gun via a mounting bracket, with its outlet facing the annular heat sink to blow cooling air onto it. The cooling fan can be used to air-cool the annular heat sink. In operation, firstly, the programmable logic controller (PLC) can determine the current pose of the stable chamber based on the distance to the edge of the opening of the stable chamber acquired by the laser rangefinder sensor, using a triangulation algorithm. The current pose of the stable chamber can be the spatial position and angle of the opening plane. Then, the PLC can determine the deviation between the current pose and the preset target pose by comparing the current pose of the stable chamber with the preset target pose. The target pose can be the preset spatial position and angle where the opening plane of the stable chamber should be. Subsequently, the PLC can calculate the required extension / retraction displacement of each of the adjusting screws based on the deviation and the three-dimensional model of the micro-motion platform using inverse kinematics.Finally, the programmable logic controller (PLC) can issue pulse sequence commands to the servo motors driving their respective regulating screws. These pulse sequence commands can include controlling the direction, speed, and displacement of the servo motors.

[0052] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem four: the actual physical parameters of the spraying process gradually deviate from the set window, resulting in poor coating quality. Solving this problem reduces the slow, subtle, and irreversible time-shifting of the working state of key high-temperature components such as the plasma spray gun and the stabilization chamber, which causes the actual physical parameters of the spraying process to gradually deviate from the set window, leading to poor coating quality. To achieve this effect, the plasma spraying system of this disclosure can continuously monitor the spatial pose of the stabilization chamber opening edge by directly facing the aforementioned measuring bracket and the aforementioned laser rangefinder, thereby converting the difficult-to-measure thermal expansion and dynamic offset into recognizable digital signals. Because the aforementioned micro-motion platform can adjust the spatial angle and three-dimensional position of the stabilization chamber in real time, the jet can always be aligned with the blades to be sprayed. Furthermore, because the aforementioned heat dissipation fins, parallel cooling water channels, annular heat sinks, heat pipes, and cooling fans can effectively dissipate the large amount of heat generated by the plasma spray gun and the stabilization chamber during continuous operation, the thermal expansion caused by excessive temperature rise in the plasma spray gun and the stabilization chamber can be reduced. The water-cooled base and compressed air nozzle mentioned above enable the infrared temperature sensor to work stably for a long time in a high-temperature dust environment, accurately monitoring the temperature of the jet, thereby keeping the process window stable for a long time.

[0053] The various embodiments disclosed above have the following beneficial effects: The plasma spraying system applied to turbine blades according to some embodiments of this disclosure can improve spraying efficiency, extend the electrode life of the plasma spray gun, and enhance operational safety. The reasons for the low spraying efficiency, low electrode life of the plasma spray gun, and low operational safety in the prior art are as follows: frequent ignition and shutdown significantly shorten the electrode life of the plasma spray gun, leading to frequent shutdowns for electrode replacement and increased costs; in every two workpieces sprayed, a significant amount of time is spent between workpiece replacement, cooling, and ventilation of the work area, resulting in low equipment utilization; during workpiece replacement, personnel still need to enter or be in close contact with the work area, and residual heat radiation and dust can cause burns to operators. Based on this, some embodiments of the plasma spraying system for turbine blades disclosed herein are characterized in that the spraying system includes a spray booth, a spraying device, and a turntable assembly. The spray booth includes a sealed working area, which is divided into a work area and a preparation area by a partition wall. The work area is the area for spraying the turbine blades, and the preparation area is the area for switching between placed turbine blades. The spraying device includes a robotic arm and a plasma spray gun. The robotic arm is mounted on the ground of the work area, and its end is connected to the plasma spray gun. The turntable assembly includes a main turntable and an auxiliary turntable assembly. The main turntable is provided with the sidewall of the spray booth, and the rotation axis of the main turntable is located on the upper... The separation between the work area and the preparation area is as follows: the main turntable is equipped with the auxiliary turntable assembly, which includes at least two rotating discs, each configured to rotate around its included axis; the edge of the main turntable is provided with an annular sealing ring, and the partition wall is provided with an arc-shaped sealing groove, which, together with the annular sealing ring, forms a dynamic sealing structure. The main turntable and the auxiliary turntable assembly can pass through the arc-shaped sealing groove when rotating, and the dynamic sealing structure is used to block dust; the plasma spray gun is in an ignition state during the process of the main turntable driving the rotating discs to switch positions between the work area and the preparation area, and the duration of a single position switch of the main turntable is less than or equal to a preset duration. Because the spray booth is divided into a work area and a preparation area, and the rotation axis of the main turntable is located at the partition wall between the work area and the preparation area, the auxiliary turntable of the main turntable can switch positions between the work area and the preparation area. Thus, while the workpiece is being sprayed in the work area, another workpiece can be loaded, unloaded and prepared in the preparation area, realizing parallel operation of spraying and workpiece change. This can reduce the waiting time required for spraying operations and improve the utilization rate of spraying operations.Furthermore, because the plasma spray gun remains ignited during the station switching process driven by the main turntable, and the single switching time of the main turntable is less than the preset value, the plasma spray gun can maintain continuous and stable operation for a long time, reducing electrode wear caused by thermal cycling, thereby extending the electrode life of the plasma spray gun. Also, because the dynamic sealing structure of the plasma spray gun and turntable assembly connected to the end effector of the robotic arm, as well as the exhaust device on the top of the spray booth, effectively isolates the sprayed powder from high-temperature radiation in a closed working area, the risk of operators coming into contact with high-temperature workpieces, inhaling dust, or suffering heat radiation burns can be reduced, thus enhancing operational safety.
