Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aero-engine turbine rotor blade manufacturing technology, specifically to a turbine rotor blade shot peening protection device. Background Technology

[0002] The turbine rotor blades of an aero-engine are crucial components that convert the energy of high-temperature combustion gases into rotor mechanical work. The turbine rotor blades are connected to the turbine disk by tenons, which bear significant loads; the centrifugal force at the root of a single blade can reach 100–150 kN. Furthermore, the tenons operate at high temperatures, reaching 600–700°C. Therefore, shot peening is necessary to strengthen the tenons. High-temperature alloy shot is injected at high speed onto the tenon surface using compressed air. The impact force of the high-temperature alloy shot creates residual stress on the tenon surface, thereby improving the fatigue strength and wear resistance of the tenon.

[0003] Since turbine blades are typically designed with heat-insulating coatings and film pores, shot peening can damage the coating structure or block the film pores. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the non-shot-peened areas of the blades, except for the tenons.

[0004] This utility model relates to the field of aero-engine turbine rotor blade manufacturing, and in particular to a turbine rotor blade shot peening protection and clamping device. Utility Model Content

[0027] Preferably, a groove 11 is provided on the through hole between the left cover plate 2 and the right cover plate 4 at the same end. The shape of the groove 11 is adapted to the shape of the turbine working blade edge plate. The tenon 14 for the turbine blade is placed into the groove 11 of the cover plate, so that the blade and the cover are tightly joined, which facilitates shot peening.

[0028] Preferably, the front cover plate 1, rear cover plate 3, left cover plate 2, and right cover plate 4 are all made of nylon material. The front cover plate 1, rear cover plate 3, left cover plate 2, and right cover plate 4 have the same length, ranging from 100mm to 250mm.
