  • Patent number: 11680851
    Abstract: A device for measuring surface temperature of a turbine blade based on a rotatable prism includes a probe, a prism rotating apparatus and an optical focusing apparatus. The prism rotating apparatus and the optical focusing apparatus are located inside the probe. The probe includes a probe outer casing, a probe inner casing, a water-cooled casing pipe, a sapphire window piece, a quartz prism, a light pipe, a collimating lens, a focusing lens and an infrared array detector. The prism rotating apparatus includes a rotary motor, a worm, a gear and a prism rotary table, the rotary motor rotates to drive the prism rotary table to rotate. The optical focusing apparatus includes a telescopic motor, a coupler, a lead screw and a drive rod, the telescopic motor rotates to drive the lead screw, so as to further drive the drive rod to move along the slot.

  • Patent number: 11466979
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of measuring longitude deformation of blades. The radiation and rotation speed of the blade are collected by an optical probe and a synchronized rotation sensor. The stretch of the blade is able to be determined by the obvious change in the light intensity detected by the optical probe. The precision servo motor keeps driving the optical probe to move upward. The collected radiation is compared with the radiation collected on the previous point. The stretch of the blade is calculated based on position of the blade tip which is determined by the time when the high level radiation from the blade is disappeared. The longitude deformation of the blade is calculated by plugging the stretch into the deformation equation. Mapping the calculated deformation with the number of the blade calculated with rotation speed synchronizing signals to achieve the deformation of all the blades.
