Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of three-dimensional shape measurement of the surface of an aero-engine blade, in particular to a three-dimensional measurement device for the surface roughness of an aero-engine blade. Background Art

[0002] In the field of three-dimensional topography measurement of aircraft engine blade surfaces, aircraft engine blades are the most important core components of the engine, with complex shapes, large bending and twisting, and complex processing technology. The surface processing quality of aircraft engine blades directly affects the working safety and efficiency of the engine, and to a large extent determines the performance of the engine.

[0003] The surface quality of a blade depends on its surface morphology, and roughness is an important indicator parameter of surface morphology, which is used to characterize the microscopic geometric error of the surface. Good blade surface roughness can make the stress distribution on the blade surface more uniform, reduce stress concentration and the appearance of microcracks, thereby effectively improving the fatigue life of the blade, and can also make the blade surface smoother, which is conducive to reducing the wind resistance on the blade surface, and is of great benefit to improving the aerodynamic performance and work efficiency of the blade.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to detect and control the surface roughness of aircraft engine blades. However, the requirements for blade surface processing quality are very high. For example, the Ra value of the surface of a typical compressor blade is required to be no higher than 0.4μm, so the requirements for measurement methods and measurement means are very high.

[0005] At present, the commonly used surface roughness measurement method is mainly two-dimensional contact measurement. Generally, a stylus-type profile measuring instrument is used. This method is easily limited by the arc radius of the stylus, and it is difficult to measure the actual valley bottom of the measured profile, which affects the measurement accuracy. This method can only perform line measurement in a certain direction, and it is difficult to obtain comprehensive information on the surface morphology. The measurement and evaluation have limitations. In addition, due to the influence of the contact measurement force, the stylus is easy to scratch the measured surface.

[0006] With the continuous improvement of the requirements for roughness measurement, some advanced measurement technologies are gradually applied to the field of surface roughness measurement. White light interferometry is an ultra-high precision microscopic measurement technology that acquires surface information by collecting interference fringe images formed by the reflected light of the measured surface. It has a high tolerance for the reflectivity of the measured surface, a vertical resolution of up to 0.1nm, simple calculation, and is characterized by non-destructive measurement, high precision, and high efficiency.

[0007] The surface roughness of blades needs to be measured before they are put into use. Currently, two-dimensional contact measurement is used. In addition to the disadvantages of the above-mentioned measurement method, this measurement method has the following shortcomings for irregular free-form surface parts such as blades:

[0008] 1. It is difficult to confirm the surface texture of the blade, and it is easy to have scanning direction deviation, resulting in measurement errors.

[0010] In view of this, the inventor of the present application has designed a three-dimensional measurement device for the surface roughness of aircraft engine blades in order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the utility model discloses a three-dimensional measuring device for the surface roughness of an aircraft engine blade, which comprises: a base 10, a bracket 20, a rotating clamping assembly and a measuring assembly. Among them, the bracket 20 is connected to the upper end of the base 10. The rotating clamping assembly is installed on the base 10, located below the bracket 20, and is used to clamp the blade 30 to be measured. The measuring assembly is installed on the bracket 20, and extends downward along the bracket 20 to just above the rotating clamping assembly. The rotating clamping assembly drives the blade 30 to rotate, and the measuring assembly scans and collects the blade 30 to obtain data on the surface morphology of the blade 30.

[0054] Preferably, the rotating clamping assembly includes a bidirectional slide 40 and a biaxial turntable 50 . The bidirectional slide 40 is installed on the base 10 and slides along the left-right direction and the front-back direction of the base 10 . The biaxial turntable 50 is installed on the bidirectional slide 40 .

[0055] Preferably, the rotating clamp assembly further comprises a clamp 60, which is mounted on the dual-axis turntable 50 to drive the clamp 60 to rotate in two directions. The clamp 60 can clamp the tenon portion of the blade 30 and drive the blade 30 to move together.

[0056] More preferably, the dual-axis turntable 50 includes a turntable base 51 and a mounting plate 52, the turntable base 51 is mounted on the bidirectional slide 40, the two ends of the mounting plate 52 are respectively connected to the inner wall surfaces on both sides of the turntable base 51, connected inside the turntable base 51, and the fixture 60 is mounted on the mounting plate 52. The mounting plate 52 here is preferably arranged to be located in a horizontal position.

[0057] The clamp 60 here includes two clamping parts, and the clamping parts clamp the blade 30 to be measured from the left and right sides.

[0058] Further preferably, the measuring assembly includes a measuring head 70, a telescopic arm 71 and an interference objective lens 72, the measuring head 70 is mounted on the bracket 20, the telescopic arm 71 is connected to the bottom of the measuring head 70, and can be extended and retracted in the up and down direction. The interference objective lens 72 is mounted at the bottom of the telescopic arm 71, and is used to drive the interference objective lens 72 to move linearly.

[0059] In particular, in this embodiment, the dual-axis turntable 50 has two rotation axes, the plane where the two rotation axes are located is the XOY plane, and the intersection of the two rotation axes is the coordinate origin. The light source axis of the interference objective 72 is the Z axis, and the coordinate system of the three-dimensional measurement device is constructed.

[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, the bracket 20 is a hollow frame structure, the bottom of which is connected to both sides of the base 10 and is erected above the base 10 .

[0061] According to the above structural description, the specific process of the three-dimensional measuring device for the surface roughness of the aero-engine blade of the utility model for detecting the surface roughness of the blade is as follows:
