[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a turbine blade measuring device with the following features:

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The turbine blade measuring device can enhance the stability of the turbine blade during rotation by providing a slider and a slide rail.

[0016] 2. The turbine blade measuring device, by setting up an ultrasonic probe, can be used to detect the wall thickness of the turbine blade in operation or at rest, as well as to detect internal defects such as cracks and pores. The ultrasonic probe uses the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in the material to detect the internal structure of the material.

At the same time, when the rotating shaft rotates, the strain gauge driven by it will produce a slight deformation due to the rotation of the rotating shaft, and such deformation will cause the resistance value of the strain gauge to change; through the Wheatstone bridge circuit, this resistance change can be converted into a change in the voltage signal; the force-sensitive sensor can accurately measure the strain change of the turbine blade caused by the rotation.

A mobile power supply 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting box 10. A position near the left side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2 is provided There is a rectifier 8, a slide rail 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the metal sleeve 3 near the center, a turbine blade 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2 near the center, and a limiting frame 17 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the outer surface of the turbine blade 4, a turbine guide 22 is fixedly installed on the inside of the limiting frame 17 near the left side, a bearing 22 is provided at the connection between the turbine guide 22 and the rotating shaft 2, and a vibration sensor 21 is provided at the connection between the turbine guide 22 and the rotating shaft 2, a slider 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the limiting frame 17, a nickel gear 6 is fixedly installed on the right side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2 near the center, a permanent magnet 5 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the outer surface of the nickel gear 6, and a strain gauge 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2 near the right side.

[0025] Specifically, the outer surface of the slider 15 is movably sleeved with the inner portion of the slide rail 20 .

[0026] Specifically, a stabilizing frame 16 is fixedly installed around the outer surface of the rectifier 8, the outer surface of the stabilizing frame 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metal sleeve 3, and the connection between the inner center of the rectifier 8 and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2 is connected through a ball bearing.

[0027] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 2 is prevented from driving the rectifier 8 to rotate when rotating, and the stability of the rectifier 8 is enhanced.

[0028] Specifically, the sensing end of the ultrasonic probe 18 is adjacent to the turbine blade 4 , but the turbine blade 4 is not close to the ultrasonic probe 18 .

[0029] In this embodiment, subsequent detection by the magnetic core and the electromagnetic sensor 14 is facilitated.

[0030] Specifically, the soft magnetic core 13 and the electromagnetic sensor 14 are both adjacent to the nickel gear 6 , but the soft magnetic core 13 and the electromagnetic sensor 14 are not close to the nickel gear 6 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the vibration sensor 21 is connected to the signal processing unit via a cable, so that the change of the clearance of the turbine blades 4 can be monitored in real time, thereby effectively monitoring the vibration of the turbine blades 4, which plays an important role in the health monitoring and fault prevention of the turbine engine.

[0036] During use, the air flow is drawn into the metal sleeve 3 through the fan 1. When the air flow passes through the rectifier 8, the rectifier 8 helps to reduce the turbulence and eddy current in the air flow, thereby improving the air flow efficiency and reducing noise. Subsequently, the air flow drives the turbine blade 4 to rotate when passing through the rectifier 8 and then through the turbine blade 4. When the turbine blade 4 rotates, the slider 15 moves together on the slide rail 20, thereby enhancing the stability of the turbine blade 4 during rotation.

The electromagnetic sensor 14 can detect this change, convert it into an electrical signal, and transmit it to the signal transceiver inside the installation box 10. The signal is then electrically sent to the control box through the signal transceiver, so that the operator can timely understand the energy conversion efficiency of the turbine blade 4. At the same time, when the rotating shaft 2 rotates, the strain gauge 7 driven by it will produce a slight deformation due to the rotation of the rotating shaft 2. Such deformation will cause the resistance value of the strain gauge 7 to change; through the Wheatstone bridge circuit, this resistance change can be converted into a change in the voltage signal; the force sensitive sensor 9 can accurately measure the strain change of the turbine blade 4 caused by the rotation.

[0037] In summary, the turbine blade measuring device, by providing a slider 15 and a slide rail 20, can enhance the stability of the turbine blade 4 during rotation; by providing an ultrasonic probe 18, it can be used to detect the wall thickness of the turbine blade 4 in operation or at rest and to detect internal defects such as cracks and pores; the ultrasonic probe 18 utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in the material to detect the internal structure of the material; when the ultrasonic wave encounters a defect in the material, it will generate a reflected wave at the defect, and by analyzing the characteristics of these reflected waves, the integrity and health of the turbine blade 4 can be evaluated; by providing a soft magnetic core 13, an electromagnetic sensor 14, a permanent magnet 5, a force sensitive sensor 9 and a strain gauge 7, the rotation of the nickel gear 6 causes the permanent magnet 5 to generate a changing magnetic field When it approaches the soft magnetic core 13 and the electromagnetic sensor 14, it will generate periodic magnetic flux changes in the iron core. The electromagnetic sensor 14 can detect this change, convert it into an electrical signal and transmit it to the signal transceiver inside the installation box 10, and then send it electrically to the control box through the signal transceiver, so that the operator can timely understand the energy conversion efficiency of the turbine blade 4. At the same time, when the rotating shaft 2 rotates, the strain gauge 7 driven by it will produce a slight deformation due to the rotation of the rotating shaft 2. Such deformation will cause the resistance value of the strain gauge 7 to change; through the Wheatstone bridge circuit, this resistance change can be converted into a change in the voltage signal; the force sensitive sensor 9 can accurately measure the strain change of the turbine blade 4 caused by the rotation.
