Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine blade technology, specifically a portable steam turbine blade flaw detector. Background Technology
[0002] Turbine stationary blades operate in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment and are also subject to water vapor corrosion. The quality of each maintenance directly affects whether the turbine stationary blades can work normally next time. Conventional flaw detection methods include spraying flaw detection spray onto the turbine stationary blades and then manually inspecting them, scanning the turbine stationary blades back and forth with a handheld flaw detection instrument, and removing the turbine stationary blades and inspecting them with specialized flaw detection equipment.
[0003] In response, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN213633288U discloses a turbine blade flaw detection device, including a base plate, a flaw detector mounting frame structure, an ultrasonic flaw detector body, fixed wheels, a telescopic frame structure, rotating wheels, a fixed pipe, a telescopic rod, clamping bolts, an external ultrasonic probe for the flaw detector, a drive motor, a drive wheel, and an outer ring hoop for the turbine blade. The flaw detector mounting frame structure is installed on the upper part of the base plate; the ultrasonic flaw detector body is placed on the upper part of the base plate; the fixed wheels are respectively axled at the four outer corners of the base plate; and the telescopic frame structure is installed at the front and rear ends of the base plate. The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the L-shaped mounting frame, connecting plate, fixing bolts, ear plate, and fixing plate facilitate the removal of the ultrasonic flaw detector body by operators, thereby facilitating maintenance and repair of the ultrasonic flaw detector body and reducing maintenance costs.
[0004] However, existing portable turbine blade flaw detectors cannot adjust the position of the guide wheels according to the shape of the turbine blade outer ring hoop because the outer ring hoop of the turbine blade is an arc-shaped structure. This makes it impossible for the guide wheels to fit snugly against the outer side of the turbine blade outer ring hoop, thus affecting the flaw detection work.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a portable turbine blade flaw detector is proposed. Utility Model Content

Because the outer ring of the turbine blade is an arc-shaped structure, and the fixed plate at the upper end of the existing device and the guide wheels at both ends are immovable, the existing device cannot adjust the position of the guide wheels according to the shape of the outer ring of the turbine blade, thus failing to make the guide wheels fit against the outer side of the outer ring of the turbine blade, thereby affecting the flaw detection work.
