Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blade inspection technology, specifically an auxiliary inspection device for the integrity of the structure of aero-engine directionally solidified blades. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to equiaxed blades, oriented stranded blades for aero-engines have only a few grain boundaries in a direction approximately parallel to the blade's working axis (i.e., the Z-axis). Because transverse grain boundaries are eliminated, the service life and performance of oriented stranded blades are improved to some extent, leading to their widespread application in the aero-engine field. During the manufacturing of oriented stranded blades, acceptance standards require the inspection of the geometric angle between the grain boundaries on the blade surface and the blade's working axis (i.e., the Z-axis). Depending on the location of the grain boundaries, this geometric angle is typically required to be no more than 10–20°.

[0003] However, the shape of aero-engine blades is a three-dimensional curved surface structure, and their working Z-axis usually needs to be calibrated with the help of a coordinate measuring machine. It is difficult to accurately calculate the geometric angle between the grain boundary and the Z-axis under visual conditions. Inspectors usually make judgments based on subjective experience, which may cause quality loss. Utility Model Content

[0019] To address the difficulty of accurately calculating the geometric angle between grain boundaries and the Z-axis under visual inspection, inspectors often rely on subjective experience, which can lead to quality slippage. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1-3 The present invention provides the following solution:

[0020] Reference Figure 1-2 An auxiliary detection device for the integrity of the structure of aero-engine directional solidification blades is characterized by comprising a blade mold 1 and a scribing template 2. The blade mold 1 includes a blade basin 101, a blade back 102, and a blade root 105. An airflow channel 1011 is provided inside the blade basin 101. The scribing template 2 is attached and fixed to the blade basin 101, the blade back 102, and the blade root 105 respectively. The scribing template 2 is designed with multiple long strip-shaped hollow gaps with a gap width of 3-5m. The scribing template 2 is made of a transparent structure. An extension shaft 103 is provided at one end of the blade mold 1, and a front shaft 104 is provided at the other end of the blade mold 1. The extension shaft 103 and the front shaft 104 are integrated with the blade mold 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, the central axis between the front shaft 104 and the extension shaft 103 is used as the Z-axis. The blade scribing template is installed and fixed through the airflow channel surface, inlet edge, or exhaust edge contour of the blade basin 101 or blade back 102 to ensure better fit between the template and the blade mold 1. The transparent scribing template 2 allows for accurate observation of the grain boundary distribution on the surface of the blade mold 1 when marking the scribing. After fixing multiple scribing templates 2, scribing lines parallel to the Z-axis are marked near the location where the grain boundary angle needs to be measured. Finally, the grain boundary angle needs to be measured using a protractor. The scribing line parallel to the Z-axis corresponds to the zero position of the protractor. The grain boundary angle value α is read from the protractor's scribing line and recorded.

[0022] It should be noted that the error between the outline of the scribing template 2 and the Z-axis of the leaf mold 1 should not exceed 0.5°.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The blade root 105 is installed below the extension shaft 103, and the outer surface of the blade root 105 is provided with a capsule groove structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, a conformal template can be manufactured according to the structure of the blade root 105. The scribing template is installed and fixed at the blade root 105, and scribing lines parallel to the Z-axis are marked at the blade root 105. Finally, a protractor is used to measure the angles α, β, and γ between each grain boundary and the scribing lines, and the results are compared with the values ​​specified in the acceptance standard.

[0025] The working principle involves installing and fixing the blade-shaped scribing template through the airflow channel surface, inlet edge, or exhaust edge contour of the blade basin 101 or blade back 102 to ensure better fit between the template and the blade mold 1. The transparent scribing template 2 allows for accurate observation of the grain boundary distribution on the surface of the blade mold 1 during the marking process. After fixing multiple scribing templates 2, scribing lines parallel to the Z-axis are marked near the location where the grain boundary angle needs to be measured. Finally, a protractor is used to measure the grain boundary angle. The scribing line parallel to the Z-axis corresponds to the zero position of the protractor. The grain boundary angle value α is read from the protractor's scribing lines and recorded.
