  • Patent number: 11808632
    Abstract: A four-shaft panoramic scanning temperature measuring device with a circulating water-cooling device is provided, which not only improves the working reliability of the probe, but also increases the overall flexibility and scanning measurement efficiency. The circulating water-cooling device is self-cooled. Compared with the conventional single-circulation water-cooling way, the design of five cooling cavities can achieve higher circulating water-cooling efficiency. The four-shaft structure includes a shaft structure for translation, a shaft structure for rotation, a shaft structure for swinging, and a shaft structure with coaxial sight pipe and light pipe. The design of the four-shaft structure is able to panoramically scan the high-temperature components inside the turbine. The temperature measuring device integrates functions of cooling, swinging, translating and rotating together, which solves problems of large size and complex control of the conventional temperature measuring device.

  • 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.

    Abstract: A measurement and reconstruction method for a turbine blade strain field of with integrates an imaging technology and an infrared photoelectric measurement technology. The imaging technology is mainly responsible for the measurement of the strain field on a target blade surface, so as to use a digital image processing technology to obtain blade strain field data. The infrared photoelectric measurement technology is mainly aimed at the strain at blade edges, which uses temperature difference between the blade edges and blade gaps to perform strain measurement. Measurement results of the two modes are finally converted into blade strain parameters, thereby reconstructing the target blade strain field based on host computer software.
