Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light transmittance detection of metal expansion rings, in particular to a device for detecting light transmittance of metal expansion rings with high precision. Background Art

[0002] Metal expansion rings are critical sealing devices in aircraft engines. For example, in the main bearing cavity of an aircraft engine, metal expansion ring contact seals are used to isolate the bearing cavity from the air or gas flow path, preventing high-temperature gases from leaking into the bearing cavity, potentially coking the lubricating oil and burning the bearing. They also prevent lubricating oil from leaking into the hot gas flow path. Therefore, the design and manufacturing quality of the metal expansion ring determines its sealing performance, directly impacting the safe operation and efficiency of the engine. Good sealing performance requires a tight fit between the working surface and the inner diameter of the bushing (for external expansion rings) or the outer diameter of the journal (for internal contraction rings). Before installation, light transmission testing is often used to assess sealing performance, using light transmittance to evaluate the seal quality. Currently, there are two methods for testing the light transmittance of expansion rings. One involves mounting the ring in a matching gauge ring and visually inspecting its light transmittance under natural light or a lamp. For example, the Chinese patent "Expansion Ring Light Transmittance Inspection Device" (Publication No. CN201522264U) describes a device for inspecting the light transmittance of expansion rings for aircraft engine seals. The device manually rotates the test ring so that the joint between the inner hole of the test ring and the outer diameter of the ring passes through the light-transmitting groove. The light transmittance of the expansion ring is then inspected visually under light or with a feeler gauge. Another method involves mounting the ring on a flat plate with light-transmitting grooves, supported by a bracket. The ring is then rotated to visually inspect the light transmittance at each joint. Both methods suffer from the fact that light transmittance assessment relies on visual inspection by the inspector, resulting in significant errors and uncertainty. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to efficiently and accurately detect the transmittance of a metal expansion ring, the utility model proposes a device for detecting the transmittance of a metal expansion ring with high precision, eliminating the uncertainty brought by human visual observation and the detection error caused thereby.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Figures 1 to 4A device for detecting the light transmittance of a metal expansion ring with high precision comprises a support rod 1, a bushing 2, a light source assembly 3, a light transmission shooting system 5, a tripod 6 and a base 7; a tray 11 is provided at the upper end of the support rod 1, a screw rod 12 is provided at the lower end, and the end of the screw rod 12 is a square cylindrical top shaft 13; a circular ring 61 is provided on the tripod 6, and legs 62 are provided below the circular ring 61, and the legs 62 are evenly hinged to the bottom of the circular ring 61. The light transmission shooting system 5 is installed on the circular ring 61, and the bushing 2 is provided directly below the light transmission shooting system 5, and the gap between the inner periphery of the upper end of the bushing 2 and the outer periphery of the tray 11 is 1-2 mm. The upper end surface of the bushing 2 is higher than the upper plane of the tray 11, and its height is equal to the thickness of the expansion ring 4. The bushing 2 is cylindrical, and an internal threaded column 22 is provided at the center of the bottom through a bracket 21. The center of the internal threaded column 22 is connected to the screw 12 at the lower end of the support rod 1; a light source assembly 3 is installed above the bracket 21 inside the bushing 2, and the light source assembly 3 is a LET bulb or a LET light strip; the expansion ring 4 to be tested is placed on the tray 11 of the support rod 1; the bushing 2 is placed horizontally above the base 7.

[0017] Example: A specific implementation case of the present invention is introduced below.

[0018] The operation and use method of the present utility model is as follows: Install the expansion ring 4 to be detected in a horizontal position. Use a wrench to rotate the support rod 1 with the square cylindrical top shaft 13, and adjust the height of the tray 11 to ensure that the upper end surface of the expansion ring 4 to be detected is flush with the upper end surface of the bushing 2. The three legs 62 of the tripod bracket 6 are hinged to the bottom of the ring 61. By adjusting the opening of the legs 62, the height, position and shooting angle of the light-transmitting shooting system 5 can be adjusted to ensure that the shooting angle is a direct downward perspective of the expansion ring 4 to be detected, and the expansion ring 4 is in the center position. Adjust the focal length of the light-transmitting shooting system 5 (BM-500GE industrial imaging camera), shoot in a dark environment, and obtain the original light-transmitting gap image (such as Figure 4 (as shown), the image is read and converted into a grayscale image, which is then converted into a binary image to distinguish the light-transmitting gap from other parts. An optical calculation model is used to calculate the light transmittance of the expansion ring. For example, the original light-transmitting image obtained by calculation shows a light transmittance of 61.54%.
