Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gas turbines, and specifically to an auxiliary tool for detecting turbine blades. Background Art
[0002] During the service process of a gas turbine, due to the long-term exposure of its turbine blades to high temperature, high pressure and the impact of high-speed air flow, various defects may appear on the surface, such as cracks, wear, corrosion, etc. The existence of these defects will seriously affect the performance of the blades and the safe operation of the gas turbine. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct regular defect detection and timely repair of the blades.
[0003] Currently, before using ultrasonic waves to detect the wall thickness of blades, a wall thickness detection tooling is mostly used. The wall thickness detection tooling can assist in marking detection points on the blades, thereby improving the efficiency of wall thickness detection. Most of the existing blade wall thickness detection toolings can only perform a single positioning and point marking operation, with relatively single functions. And for the few detection toolings that can simultaneously assist in measuring the blade profile and wall thickness, although they have more comprehensive functions, their structures are complex, and frequent tooling replacement is required during actual operation, which not only reduces the work efficiency but also increases the detection cost.
[0004] In addition, for the defect detection and repair of turbine blades, corresponding judgment criteria and repair plans need to be formulated according to different regions of the blades. In the fillet region of the blade, that is, the transition region where the blade is connected to the disk, due to stress concentration, defects are more likely to occur. Therefore, the repair plan for this region is relatively more stringent. And for the blade vane flow passage surface, that is, the air flow passage surface of the blade, although it also bears the impact of air flow, due to its structural characteristics, the repair plan is relatively looser. The existing detection toolings cannot distinguish the fillet region and the vane flow passage surface of the blade, reducing the repair efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an auxiliary tool for detecting turbine blades and a using method.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0007] An auxiliary tool for detecting turbine blades, comprising: a positioning plate for fitting with the suction surface or pressure surface of the turbine blade, on which a plurality of detection holes are provided; a positioning member arranged on the positioning plate for fitting with the leading edge of the turbine blade; a positioning stepped block arranged at the bottom of the positioning plate for avoiding the fillet region provided between the blade body and the vane of the turbine blade, the positioning stepped block being in a stepped shape and having a scribing curved edge at the bottom for contacting the vane flow passage surface of the vane.
[0008] Further, the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling includes a turbine blade pressure surface detection auxiliary tooling and a turbine blade suction surface detection auxiliary tooling.
[0009] Further, the detection hole includes a conical hole and a cylindrical through-hole that communicate with each other.
[0010] Further, the number of the positioning members is two, including a first positioning member for fitting with the upper end of the leading edge and a second positioning member for fitting with the lower end of the leading edge.
[0011] Further, the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling is an integrally formed part.
[0012] Further, the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling is formed at one time by a 3D printer.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The scribed curved edge at the bottom of the positioning step block has both positioning and scribing functions, and can quickly distinguish the rounded area and the vane platform flow path surface of the turbine blade. During the repair stage of the turbine blade, corresponding defect repair plans can be effectively formulated according to different regions, improving the defect detection and repair efficiency.
[0015] 2. Since the stability of the turbine blade during the detection process is guaranteed, the number of repeated detections can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the detection work. At the same time, the cavity part between the first positioning member and the second positioning member of the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling provides a holding space for the operator, and precise positioning can be achieved through single-handed operation, which is simple and practical, effectively reducing the workload and working time.
[0016] 3. The design of the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling can be adjusted according to different types of turbine blades, has good adaptability, and can be used for the detection of multiple blades. At the same time, the present utility model is a dual-purpose auxiliary tooling, with both wall thickness detection and defect detection auxiliary functions, reducing the tooling manufacturing cost.
[0017] 4. By regularly using the turbine blade detection auxiliary tooling for precise detection, potential problems of the turbine blade can be discovered in time, and corresponding maintenance measures can be taken, thereby extending the service life of the turbine blade.

[0053] AsFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the turbine blade pressure surface detection auxiliary tooling in the first embodiment is the turbine blade pressure surface detection auxiliary tooling 1. This auxiliary tooling includes: a pressure surface positioning plate 11, a pressure surface positioning member provided on the pressure surface positioning plate 11, and a pressure surface positioning stepped block 13 provided at the bottom of the pressure surface positioning plate 11. The shape of the pressure surface positioning plate 11 is consistent with the shape of the pressure surface 3, and it can be completely fitted with the pressure surface 3, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the turbine blade during the detection process. There are a plurality of pressure surface detection holes 111 on the pressure surface positioning plate 11; the pressure surface positioning member is provided on the left side of the pressure surface positioning plate 11, and it is used to fit with the leading edge 5 to ensure that the turbine blade is in the correct position during the detection process and prevent it from moving to the right during the detection process; the pressure surface positioning stepped block 13 is used to avoid the pressure surface fillet area 31.

Preferably, use the ultrasonic thickness measurement method to perform wall thickness detection. Move the ultrasonic probe to the marked detection point. When the ultrasonic pulse emitted by the probe passes through the turbine blade to be measured and reaches the material interface, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected back to the probe. Determine the thickness of the measured material by accurately measuring the time for the ultrasonic wave to propagate in the material, so as to perform wall thickness detection;
[0077] When detecting the surface defects of the turbine blade, the following steps are included:
