Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aircraft engine maintenance or repair, in particular to a welding maintenance and fixing fixture for an aircraft engine low-pressure turbine protective cover. Background Art

[0002] The low-pressure turbine is one of the keys to the safe operation of the engine, and the radiation shield of the low-pressure turbine 4th stage guide vane is a key implementation component. The quality of the repair work is more important with the improvement of modern manufacturing technology. The existing repair of the radiation shield hole of the low-pressure turbine 4th stage guide vane has the following problems.

[0003] 1. The CF34-8C5 engine low-pressure turbine stage 4 guide vane is equipped with a radiation shield made of nickel-based alloy, less than 4mm wide, and has a ring-shaped shape without effective stress points. The disassembly and repair process is done manually, which is very easy to be damaged and deformed.

[0004] 2. Repairing the radiation shield hole of the low-pressure turbine stage 4 guide blade involves grinding and welding. During grinding, the shield is large and difficult to operate, and the shield body is easily distorted. During welding, due to the high welding temperature, when the operator fixes the ring body by hand, it is not only not conducive to welding, but also causes high temperature and easy burns to personnel.

[0005] 3. The radiation shield of the 4th stage guide vane of the low-pressure turbine is the main part of the CF34-8C5 engine. It has the functions of radiation shielding, thermal protection, prevention of foreign matter intrusion, and structural reinforcement, and has the characteristics of high value and high precision. Falling or collision will cause surface damage, hidden cracks or failure of the shield. When the CF34-8C5 engine is running, the shield may break and fall off, which will cause damage to the turbine blades and the surrounding structural parts to be affected by high temperature. There are many risk points in the repair work, which is easy to cause damage to aviation materials or personnel.
