Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing technology for the remelted layer of the air film hole and the residue in the inner cavity of turbine blades, and in particular to an abrasive flow machining tool for removing the remelted layer of the air film hole and the residue in the inner cavity of turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing inlet air temperature of aero-engines and gas turbines, turbine blades often require complex internal cooling channels and film cooling holes machined on the blade body using electrical discharge machining (EDM) to allow cooling air to enter, thereby improving the high-temperature resistance of the turbine blades. However, EDM machining of film cooling holes creates a remelted layer of a certain thickness on the hole walls, which negatively impacts the fatigue performance of the blades. This remelted layer needs to be removed or reduced to a certain thickness using abrasive flow machining or other methods. During the casting process, especially for oriented and single-crystal turbine blades, the molten metal reacts with the ceramic core at high temperatures. This reaction layer cannot be completely removed during subsequent core removal. Furthermore, a small amount of residual core and reactants may adhere to the inner surface of the blade during core removal, negatively affecting the service performance of the turbine blades. If a coating needs to be applied to the inner cavity, these residues also significantly hinder the coating's adhesion.

[0003] Existing polishing operations are inconvenient to operate, the polishing effect needs to be improved, and the polishing equipment is not easy to disassemble and maintain, so its practicality needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an abrasive flow machining fixture for removing the remelted layer and internal cavity residues of turbine blade film holes, which can quickly and conveniently disassemble and assemble workpieces, while improving the polishing effect of turbine blades, and is highly practical.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A grinding flow machining fixture for removing remelted layers and internal residues from the film cooling holes of turbine blades includes a lower cylinder of a grinding flow equipment, an upper cylinder of a grinding flow equipment, an upper template, and a lower template. The upper template is installed in the mounting position of the upper cylinder of the grinding flow equipment, and the lower template is installed in the mounting position of the lower cylinder of the grinding flow equipment.

A blade crown sealing rubber block is snapped onto the inner bottom surface of the polishing barrel. Guide holes corresponding to the positions of the lower template guide ports are provided at the middle position of the blade crown sealing rubber block and on the bottom surface of the polishing barrel. An upper template guide port is provided on the upper template.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, workpieces can be quickly and conveniently assembled and disassembled, while the polishing effect can be improved, making it highly practical.

[0008] Furthermore, a piston for the lower cylinder of the abrasive flow equipment is provided at the middle position of the lower cylinder, and the cavity between the piston and the lower template is filled with abrasive material.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, polishing operations can be achieved using abrasives.

[0010] Furthermore, a blade clamping block is fixedly installed at the middle position of the inner end face of the upper template, and a turbine blade is clamped between the blade clamping block and the blade crown sealing rubber block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the positional stability of turbine blades can be improved.

[0012] Furthermore, four support columns are installed between the upper and lower templates. The upper ends of the support columns are fixedly connected to the upper template by locking bolts, and positioning holes are provided on the lower end face of the support columns.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire tooling can be installed quickly.

[0018] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention allows for the following steps: First, the turbine blade to be processed is snapped onto the crown sealing rubber block. Then, the upper template is fastened to the upper port of the polishing barrel. The assembled fixture is then installed between the lower cylinder and the upper cylinder of the abrasive flow equipment. Next, abrasive is used to polish the turbine blade. During polishing, the piston in the lower cylinder of the abrasive flow equipment pushes the abrasive, allowing it to pass sequentially through the lower template guide port and guide hole into the interior of the turbine blade. It then passes through the air film holes of the turbine blade into the polishing barrel. As the abrasive continues to enter, once the polishing barrel is full, it passes through the upper template guide port into the cavity of the upper cylinder of the abrasive flow equipment. Then, the piston in the upper cylinder of the abrasive flow equipment is activated, causing the abrasive to move in the reverse direction inside the polishing barrel, thus achieving efficient polishing. This fixture effectively improves the ease of operation and polishing effect of turbine blade polishing. Furthermore, the fixture allows for flexible and convenient assembly and disassembly, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

The cavity between the lower cylinder piston 8 and the lower template 4 is filled with abrasive material 6. In operation, the turbine blade 5 to be processed is snapped onto the crown sealing rubber block 22. Then, the upper template 1 is fastened onto the upper port of the polishing barrel 2. The assembled fixture is then installed between the lower cylinder 7 and the upper cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment. Next, the abrasive 6 is used to polish the turbine blade 5. During polishing, the piston 8 in the lower cylinder 7 of the abrasive flow equipment pushes the abrasive 6, allowing it to pass sequentially through the lower template guide port 41 and the guide hole into the interior of the turbine blade 5, and then through... The air film vent of the turbine blade 5 enters the interior of the polishing barrel 2. As the abrasive 6 continues to enter, once the polishing barrel 2 is filled with abrasive 6, it passes through the upper template guide port 13 of the upper template 1 and enters the cavity of the cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment. Then, the piston in the cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment is activated, allowing the abrasive 6 to move in the reverse direction inside the polishing barrel 2, thereby achieving efficient polishing operation. This tooling effectively improves the ease of operation and polishing effect of polishing the turbine blade 5. At the same time, this tooling can be flexibly and conveniently disassembled and assembled, making it highly practical.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 Four support columns 3 are installed between the upper template 1 and the lower template 4. The upper end of the support column 3 is fixedly connected to the upper template 1 by the locking bolt 12. The lower end face of the support column 3 is provided with positioning holes. The lower end face of the lower template 4 is integrally connected with the lower template positioning protrusion 42.

Then, the upper template 1 is snapped onto the upper port of the polishing barrel 2. The assembled fixture is then installed between the lower cylinder 7 and the upper cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment. Next, the abrasive 6 is used to polish the turbine blade 5. During polishing, the piston 8 of the lower cylinder 7 of the abrasive flow equipment pushes the abrasive 6, allowing it to pass through the guide port 41 of the lower template and the guide hole into the interior of the turbine blade 5, and then through... The abrasive 6 enters the interior of the polishing barrel 2 through the film gas hole of the turbine blade 5. As the abrasive 6 continues to enter, when the polishing barrel 2 is filled with abrasive 6, it passes through the upper template guide port 13 of the upper template 1 and enters the cavity of the cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment. Then, the piston in the cylinder 9 of the abrasive flow equipment is activated, so that the abrasive 6 can move in the opposite direction inside the polishing barrel 2, thereby achieving efficient polishing operation.
