Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impeller manufacturing technology, specifically to a device for testing and detecting cracks in impeller blades. Background Technology

[0002] An impeller is a rotating mechanical component that transfers energy to a fluid. It is widely used in aerospace, energy, chemical, and mechanical fields. The blades are the core of the impeller, and their shape, number, angle, and size directly affect the impeller's performance. Blades usually have specific curved surface shapes to effectively push or compress the fluid. Different types of impellers have different blade shapes and structures. For example, the blades of axial flow impellers are usually slender and propeller-shaped, while the blades of centrifugal impellers are relatively short and have a greater degree of curvature.

[0003] Before the impeller is put into use, it is usually checked whether there are cracks in the impeller blades. Among the detection methods, liquid penetration testing has a good detection effect and is commonly used because the equipment is relatively simple, easy to operate, and low in cost. However, after liquid penetration testing, there is often a large amount of test liquid residue on the surface of the impeller. At this time, workers need to manually clean the impeller after judging the presence of cracks in the impeller blades.

[0004] There are some problems. In the above method, the impeller needs to be manually cleaned after liquid penetration testing. Manual cleaning is not only inefficient, but also increases the impeller testing steps, thereby reducing the working efficiency of impeller blade crack detection. To address this, we propose a device for testing impeller blade cracks. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a device for testing impeller blade cracks, including a housing 1, a control switch group 12 is provided on the front side of the housing 1, the input end of the control switch group 12 is electrically connected to an external power source, a protective door 14 is hinged to the front side of the housing 1, a faucet 13 is provided at the lower end of the rear side wall of the housing 1, and a self-cleaning detection mechanism 2 is also included.

[0022] The self-cleaning detection mechanism 2 includes a protective chamber 21, a detection liquid chamber 22, a rotating shaft 23, a cover plate 24, an annular cleaning tube 28, and nozzles 29. The protective chamber 21 is located on the bottom wall of the outer shell 1. The detection liquid chamber 22 is slidably connected inside the protective chamber 21. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to both sides of the inner walls of the outer shell 1. The outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 23 is provided with a cover plate 24, and the two cover plates 24 are symmetrically arranged. The annular cleaning tube 28 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner shell 1. The inner arc surface of the annular cleaning tube 28 is provided with evenly distributed nozzles 29. The self-cleaning detection mechanism 2 also includes an electric cylinder 27, which is installed on the bottom wall of the protective chamber 21. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 27 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the detection liquid chamber 22, and the input end of the electric cylinder 27 is electrically connected to... The self-cleaning detection mechanism 2, connected to the output of the control switch group 12, also includes an adjusting frame 25 and a lever 26. The levers 26 are respectively located on the upper left and right sides of the detection liquid tank 22. The lower side of the cover plate 24 is provided with adjusting frames 25, and the middle of the adjusting frames 25 is located inside the adjacent levers 26 on the lower side. The upper part of the inner shell 1 is provided with a mounting plate 3. The upper side of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a water tank 6. The upper end of the water tank 6 is provided with a water supply pipe 7. The upper end of the water supply pipe 7 penetrates the upper side wall of the shell 1 and is exposed outside the shell 1. The upper side of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a water pump 4. The input end of the water pump 4 is electrically connected to the output of the control switch group 12. The water pump 4 and the water tank 6 are connected in series through a connecting water pipe 11. The water pump 4 is connected to the annular cleaning pipe 28 through a cleaning pipe 5. The middle part of the mounting plate 3 is through the mounting plate 3. The lower side of the mounting plate 3 is equipped with a placement tray 10 via a mounting bracket. The placement tray 10 is located inside the annular cleaning tube 28. An electric telescopic rod 8 is installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 3. The input end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 12. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 passes through the middle of the mounting plate 3. A rubber pressure head 9 is provided at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8. First, the worker opens the protective door 14 and places the impeller to be tested on the placement tray 10. Then, the worker operates the control switch group 12 to make the electric telescopic rod 8 rotate. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the rubber pressure head 9 to move downward until it contacts the surface of the impeller, thereby maintaining the stability of the impeller during the testing process. At this time, the worker operates the control switch... Group 12 operates the electric cylinder 27, whose telescopic end pushes the detection liquid chamber 22 upward. The detection liquid chamber 22 slides inside the protective chamber 21. During the upward movement of the detection liquid chamber 22, the levers 26 at both ends of the detection liquid chamber 22 lift the adjusting frame 25 upward. At this time, the adjusting frame 25 drives the inner end of the adjacent cover plate 24 upward. During this process, the cover plate 24 rotates outward synchronously around the adjacent rotating shaft 23, thereby releasing the outlet of the protective chamber 21 that it was blocking. The adjusting frame 25 slides and rotates inside the adjacent levers 26. Subsequently, the detection liquid chamber 22 moves upward until the impeller enters the detection liquid chamber 22 and is immersed in the penetrating liquid containing colored dye. After a period of time, the penetrating liquid containing colored dye seeps into any defects such as cracks that may exist in the impeller blades.Next, the worker operates the electric cylinder 27 by controlling the control switch assembly 12. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 27 pulls down the detection liquid tank 22, which slides inside the protective chamber 21. During the downward movement of the detection liquid tank 22, the levers 26 at both ends of the detection liquid tank 22 pull down the adjusting bracket 25. At this time, the adjusting bracket 25 drives the inner end of the adjacent cover plate 24 downward. During this process, the cover plate 24 rotates synchronously inward around the adjacent rotating shaft 23. After a period of time, it blocks the upper end of the protective chamber 21. During this process, the adjusting bracket 25 slides and rotates inside the adjacent lever 26. At this time, the worker judges the crack condition of the impeller blade by observing the staining on the impeller blade. Then, the impeller is cleaned. The worker operates the water pump 4 by controlling the control switch assembly 12. The water pump 4 draws water from the water tank 6 through the connecting water pipe 11, then delivers it to the annular cleaning pipe 28 via the cleaning pipe 5. The water is then pressurized and sprayed out through evenly distributed nozzles 29. The sprayed water acts on the surface of the impeller, thus cleaning it. Workers can replenish water to the water tank 6 through the water supply pipe 7. Wastewater generated during the cleaning process falls inside the outer casing 1. The protective chamber 21 and cover plate 24 isolate this wastewater, preventing contamination of the detection liquid inside the detection liquid chamber 22. After a period of time, workers open the water tap 13 to drain the water. After inspecting the impeller blades, the impeller is cleaned. The protective chamber 21 and cover plate 24 effectively isolate the wastewater generated during the cleaning process, preventing contamination of the detection liquid and reducing subsequent testing efficiency.

[0023] The working principle of the impeller blade crack detection device provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the worker opens the protective door 14 and places the impeller to be tested on the placement tray 10. Then, the worker operates the control switch group 12 to make the electric telescopic rod 8 rotate. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the rubber pressure head 9 to move downward until it contacts the surface of the impeller, thereby maintaining the stability of the impeller during the testing process. At this time, the worker operates the control switch group 12 to make the electric cylinder 27 rotate. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 27 pushes the detection liquid tank 22 upward. The detection liquid tank 22 slides inside the protective tank 21. During the upward movement of the detection liquid tank 22... In the process, the levers 26 at both ends of the detection liquid tank 22 lift the adjusting frame 25 upwards. At this time, the adjusting frame 25 drives the inner end of the adjacent cover plate 24 upwards. During this process, the cover plate 24 rotates outwards synchronously around the adjacent rotating shaft 23, thereby releasing the outlet of the protective tank 21 that it was blocking. The adjusting frame 25 slides and rotates inside the adjacent levers 26. Then, the detection liquid tank 22 moves upwards to the impeller and enters the detection liquid tank 22 and is immersed in the penetrating liquid containing colored dye. After a period of time, the penetrating liquid containing colored dye seeps into the impeller blades and may have cracks or other defects. Then, the worker operates the control switch group 12 to activate the electric cylinder 2. 7. During operation, the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 27 pulls down the detection liquid chamber 22. The detection liquid chamber 22 slides inside the protective chamber 21. As the detection liquid chamber 22 moves downward, the levers 26 at both ends of the detection liquid chamber 22 pull down the adjusting bracket 25. At this time, the adjusting bracket 25 drives the inner end of the adjacent cover plate 24 downward. During this process, the cover plate 24 rotates synchronously inward around the adjacent rotating shaft 23. After a period of time, it blocks the upper end of the protective chamber 21. During this process, the adjusting bracket 25 both slides and rotates inside the adjacent lever 26. At this time, the worker judges the crack condition of the impeller blade by observing the staining on the impeller blade, and then... The impeller is cleaned by the worker operating the control switch group 12 to start the water pump 4. The water pump 4 draws water from the water tank 6 through the connecting water pipe 11, and then delivers it to the annular cleaning pipe 28 through the cleaning pipe 5. The water is then pressurized and sprayed out through the evenly distributed nozzles 29. The sprayed water acts on the surface of the impeller, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the impeller. The worker can replenish water to the water tank 6 through the water replenishment pipe 7. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process will fall into the inside of the outer casing 1. At this time, the protective chamber 21 and the cover plate 24 will separate the wastewater to prevent the detection liquid inside the detection liquid chamber 22 from being contaminated. After a period of time, the worker opens the faucet 13 to drain the water.

[0024] It is worth noting that the water pump 4 disclosed in the above embodiments can be model ISG65-100, the electric telescopic rod 8 and the electric cylinder 27 can be model SEC-28-L, and the control switch group 12 is provided with control buttons that correspond one-to-one with the water pump 4, the electric telescopic rod 8 and the electric cylinder 27 and are used to control their switching.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
