Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blade torque measurement, in particular to a positioning device for a blade. Background Technique

[0002] A propeller mainly consists of two major parts: a blade and a hub. In order to eliminate the vibration generated during the rotation of the propeller, that is, the asymmetry of the force of the propeller, the entire propeller needs to be balanced. The prerequisite for the balance of the entire propeller depends on the torque balance of the blade. Therefore, the balance of the blade plays a crucial role in the balance of the propeller.

[0003] In order to ensure the balance of the entire blade, it is first necessary to accurately measure the blade torque. The measurement of the blade torque includes the torque of the major axis and the torque of the minor axis, both of which are carried out on a special torque balance machine for the blade. Among them, the measurement of the torque of the minor axis needs to be carried out under three specified angular states at a certain fixed position (inspection section) of the blade. The angle is the inspection angle. The inspection angle is defined as the angle between the chord line of the blade corresponding to the inspection section (the line connecting the leading edge point and the trailing edge point of the inspection section) and the projection line of the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the propeller on the inspection section in the plane where the inspection section is located, as Figure 4 shown.

[0004] By measuring the inspection angle, the blade is corrected to correspond to three specified angular states respectively. When measuring the existing blade torque, after the blade is installed on the torque balance machine, the width direction of the blade is in an inclined posture (that is, the orientation of the working surface of the blade is in an inclined upward posture). One side of a universal bevel protractor is attached to the inspection section of the blade, and its angle is measured (as Figure 5 shown); in order to ensure the convenience of angle positioning and the consistency of measurement, and make the torque measurement operation convenient and fast, the selected measurement method is that the working surface of the inspection section faces upward (that is, the orientation of the working surface of the blade is inclined upward), and the angle between the inspection section and the vertical plane positioned by the universal bevel protractor is regarded as the inspection angle, rather than the angle between the projection line of the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the propeller on the inspection section as specified. Although it does not affect the measurement result, it does not meet the design specifications; and for the positioning of the three specified angular states of the blade, the operation is not convenient.

The lifting mechanism 20 adopts the cooperation of the lifter 22 and the guiding component 23, which can make the lifting of the base 24 more stable and reliable.

[0050] Specifically, the lifter 22 can be any existing device or apparatus capable of realizing the lifting of the base 24, including but not limited to the following lifting structure composed of a threaded sleeve 221 and a rotating screw 222, etc.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, preferably, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, the lifter 22 includes a threaded sleeve 221 and a rotating screw 222; the threaded sleeve 221 is fixedly arranged on the platform 21, and the threaded end of the rotating screw 222 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 221; the axis of the threaded sleeve 221 coincides with the axis of the rotating screw 222, and both are parallel to the vertical direction; the upper end of the rotating screw 222 abuts against the lower end surface of the base 24.

[0053] Among them, the relevant description of the backing plate 30:

[0054] Specifically, there are multiple groups of backing plates 30 used in cooperation, and each group of backing plates 30 includes multiple backing plates 30; each group of backing plates 30 corresponds to different inspection sections on the blade; the multiple backing plates 30 of each group of backing plates 30 respectively correspond to the corresponding postures at multiple different inspection angles at a certain fixed inspection section of the blade.

[0055] Specifically, the number of each group of backing plates 30 can be three, or can be set according to actual needs.

[0056] Specifically, the fitting surface 31 on the backing plate 30 fits against the outer wall of the working surface at the inspection section of the blade; specifically, the length of the fitting surface 31 on the backing plate 30 is not greater than the width of the working surface of the blade at the corresponding inspection section, as Figures 1 to 3 shown in

[0057] wherein, the connection structure between the lifting mechanism 20 and the backing plate 30 is described as follows:

[0058] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, preferably, as Figure 1 shown, a base 24 is fixedly provided on the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 20, and the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 20 can drive the base 24 to lift in the vertical direction; a chute is provided on the base 24, and a slider 32 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the backing plate 30; the slider 32 is slidably arranged in the chute in the horizontal direction. The sliding fit between the chute on the base 24 and the slider 32 at the lower end of the backing plate 30 enables the backing plate 30 to slide left and right in the horizontal direction. In combination with the movement of the moving frame 10 and the lifting of the lifting mechanism 20, the fitting surface 31 of the backing plate 30 can better fit against the corresponding inspection section on the working surface of the blade, thereby ensuring more accurate attitude positioning of the blade at this inspection angle.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, preferably, as Figure 1 shown, the slider 32 and the backing plate 30 are detachably connected together. By adopting the detachable connection between the slider 32 and the backing plate 30, the self-weight of the backing plate 30 can be reduced; during use, multiple backing plates 30 can cooperate with one slider 32, reducing the labor intensity of the operator when handling the backing plate 30 during replacement, making it more flexible and lightweight.

[0060] Specifically, a plurality of mounting holes are formed at the lower end of the backing plate 30, and a plurality of internal threaded holes are formed at the corresponding positions on the slider 32. The backing plate 30 is fixedly connected to the slider 32 by sequentially passing a plurality of bolts through one mounting hole and threading them into one internal threaded hole.

[0061] wherein, other related descriptions are as follows:

[0062] Specifically, the rotating wheel 11 provided below the moving frame 10 can be universally rotated or only support the moving frame 10 to move in a single direction:

[0063] When the rotating wheel 11 can be universally rotated, the rough positioning of the backing plate 30 can be achieved through the moving frame 10, and then the precise positioning of the backing plate 30 can be fine-tuned through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 20 and the chute and the slider 32.

[0064] When the rotating wheel 11 only supports the one-way movement of the moving frame 10, the whole can realize the separate movements of the backing plate 30 on three axes: ① the movement of the backing plate 30 in the X direction (realized by the movement of the rotating wheel 11 supporting the moving frame 10 in the X direction); ② the movement of the backing plate 30 in the Y direction (realized by the lifting action of the lifting mechanism 20); ③ the movement of the backing plate 30 in the Y direction (realized by the sliding of the sliding groove on the base 24 cooperating with the slider 32 at the lower end of the backing plate 30). At this time, after the locking device on the moving frame 10 locks the rotating wheel 11, the movement of the backing plate 30 in the X direction can be restricted to ensure the alignment degree of the backing plate 30 in the X direction, so that the backing plate 30 only needs to adjust its positions in the Y direction and the Z direction.

[0065] Specifically, when the fitting surface 31 of a certain backing plate 30 is completed to fit with the working surface at the inspection section of the blade to determine the attitude of the inspection section of the blade at this inspection angle, the position of the moving frame 10 can be kept unchanged. Then, the backing plate 30 can be lowered by the lifting mechanism 20 to separate it from the working surface of the blade, and the backing plate 30 can be removed. After the small axis torque test at this inspection angle is completed, the operator only needs to install another backing plate 30 on the slider 32, and then through the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 20 and the sliding groove and the slider 32, the backing plate 30 can adjust the attitude of the blade at another position at the same inspection section more quickly, improving the work efficiency.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 the working surface corresponding to the inspection section of the blade in [specific figure] is convex, and the working surfaces corresponding to the inspection sections of the blades in the remaining figures are concave.

[0067] Specifically, Figure 6 It is only used to show the schematic diagram of the cooperation and use of the blade and the blade positioning device 100 of this embodiment.

[0068] Embodiment 2

[0069] This embodiment provides a method for using the blade positioning device 100 based on Embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0070] S1. Install a certain backing plate 30 at the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 20, and move the moving frame 10 to place the fitting surface 31 of the backing plate 30 below the working surface corresponding to the inspection section of the blade fixed on the torque balancing machine;

[0071] S2. Drive the backing plate 30 to move upward through the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 20, so that the fitting surface 31 of the backing plate 30 is correspondingly attached to the working surface at the corresponding inspection section of the blade, fix the position of the blade, separate the fitting surface 31 of the backing plate 30 from the blade, and then perform a small axis torque test on the blade at this angular attitude;

[0072] S4, and so on. By replacing other backrests 30, the blade is made to assume other angular postures, and the small axis torque test of the blade in other angular postures is completed.

[0073] By adopting the pre-designed backrests 30 corresponding to the postures of the blade at different inspection angles, the posture positioning of the blade is made more accurate and convenient, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0074] In the present utility model, specific examples are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present utility model; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation on the present utility model.
