Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine blade technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional scanning device for steam turbine blade inspection. Background Technology

[0002] During turbine operation, a large number of water droplets separate from the steam. These droplets impact the surface of the turbine blades, causing water erosion. This erosion is particularly severe on the last-stage blades of the low-pressure cylinder due to the higher humidity of the steam.

[0003] Therefore, turbine blades require frequent maintenance. To study water erosion on turbine blades, operators use handheld 3D scanners to scan the entire blade, inputting the data into a computer to create a 3D model for observing water erosion on the blade surface. However, handheld scanning makes it difficult to precisely control the scanning time and angle. If the model input into the computer shows significant deviations, a rescan is necessary, impacting work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a three-dimensional scanning device for turbine blade inspection, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A three-dimensional scanning device for inspecting steam turbine blades includes a worktable and a scanning assembly mounted on the worktable. The scanning assembly includes a turntable, a fixed platform, and a functional block. The fixed platform is fixedly mounted on the worktable. The turntable is fitted around the edge of the fixed platform and rotatably mounted on the worktable surface. A fixing rod is fixedly mounted on the upper outer wall of the turntable. One end of the functional block is fitted onto the fixing rod. A sleeve is fixedly mounted on one side of the functional block. A slot is formed through one side of the outer wall of the sleeve, and the sleeve is fitted onto the handle of the three-dimensional scanner through the slot.

[0007] Preferably, a groove is provided on one side of the functional block, and the functional block is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod through the groove. A threaded tube is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the functional block, and the threaded tube communicates with the groove. A screw is threaded into the threaded tube of the functional block. Two cylinders are symmetrically installed on the platform of the fixing table, and a gap is left between the two cylinders.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the workbench, the fixing plate being parallel to the workbench surface. A drive wheel is positioned between the fixing plate and the workbench. A motor is fixedly installed above the fixing plate, and the output end of the motor passes through the fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the center of the drive wheel.

A turntable is mounted above the driven wheel, and the upper outer wall of the driven wheel is fixedly connected to the turntable. A baffle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the turntable on the side away from the fixing rod.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a scanning component, the functional block uses a sleeve to connect with the handle of the 3D scanner. When facing turbine blades of different sizes, the position and height of the 3D scanner can be adjusted to achieve the best shooting position. Through gear transmission, the turntable is driven to rotate at a uniform speed, so that the scanner can scan the entire blade at a uniform speed, increasing the scanning accuracy.

A slot is opened through one side of the outer wall of the sleeve 12, and the sleeve 12 is sleeved on the handle of the three-dimensional scanner through the slot.

[0016] A sliding groove is provided on one side of the functional block 9. The functional block 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 8 through the sliding groove. A threaded tube is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the functional block 9. The threaded tube communicates with the sliding groove. A screw 13 is installed in the threaded tube of the functional block 9. Two cylinders 10 are symmetrically installed on the platform of the fixed table 7, with a gap between the two cylinders 10.

[0017] A fixed plate 2 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the workbench 1. The fixed plate 2 is parallel to the table surface of the workbench 1.
