Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for borescope examination of technical devices, in particular aircraft engines and their components such as their combustion chambers, and an arrangement comprising such a device.
  • Boroscopy is used, for example, for the inspection of aircraft engines, in order to gain an insight into the interior of the engine without having to take it apart in a laborious manner. At least for individual areas of the aircraft engine, such as the combustion chamber, for example, it is necessary or at least desirable to find and document the area in full.
  • a video borescope with a flexible shaft is used for boroscopy of the interior of the combustion chamber, which is manually guided through the combustion chamber.
  • the flexible borescope is guided along the entire inner circumference of the combustion chamber and then slowly pulled out.
  • the images captured by the borescope are recorded while it is being pulled out. An attempt is made to ensure that the complete circumference of the usually ring-shaped Combustion chamber is detected. If a possible problem point is identified in the combustion chamber, a manual 3-D recording of the corresponding point can then be carried out with specially designed 3-D borescopes.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a device for boroscope examination with which the inspection of technical devices, such as aircraft engines, can be simplified and improved.
  • the invention relates to a device for boroscopic examination of a technical device comprising a guide tube that can be inserted through a boroscopy opening on a technical device to be boroscoped and a repeatedly plas table deformable support element for guiding a borescope head arranged at one end of the support element, the guide tube for deforming the Support element is formed when performing the support element through the guide tube.
  • the invention relates to an arrangement comprising a device according to the invention and a flexible borescope, wherein the carrier element of the device is tubular and the borescope is inserted into the carrier element.
  • the "borescope head” is that part of a borescope that ultimately determines the recording area of the borescope. In a purely optical borescope, this corresponds, for example, to the borescope lens or the entry surface of a light guide which defines the final recording cone In a video borescope, this is the recording area of the image recording sensors provided for this purpose
  • the Boroksop head can be arranged on a rigid or flexible shaft, but it is also possible to arrange the Boroksop head without its own structural shaft on another element, such as, for example, the carrier element.
  • the device according to the invention enables a borescope head to be guided inside a technical device without component contact along a reproducible path, for example a circular path.
  • the invention has recognized that due to the geometry of some technical devices, such as aircraft engines, and the paths required for the borescope inspection, a completely pre-formed guide device that can be inserted into the technical device is not possible.
  • the invention therefore proposes to use a plastically deformable support element, the final shape of which is determined when inserted into a technical device by a guide tube arranged on the technical device.
  • the guide tube is therefore used for plastic deformation of the carrier gerelements formed when guiding the carrier element through the guide tube.
  • the guide tube also specifies from where the carrier element actually protrudes freely into the technical device.
  • a predetermined path of the carrier element inside the technical device can be reproducibly achieved through a suitable design and arrangement of the guide tube and, if necessary, suitable pre-deformation of the carrier element (e.g. bending or torsional deformation).
  • a borescope head guided through the carrier element can then also be guided along this path without direct contact with the technical device.
  • the path can be selected in such a way that the boroscope is guided past the surfaces to be examined inside the technical device at a suitable distance.
  • the device according to the invention thus not only enables reproducible boroscopy, but can often also improve the quality of the data obtained by the boroscopy.
  • These data can be image data or, for example, 3-D surface data obtained by triangulation.
  • the carrier element is repeatedly plastically deformable, this deformability having to be such that an actual deformation is possible or actually takes place when the carrier element is passed through the guide tube.
  • "Repeatedly plastically deformable” denotes the property that the carrier element shows little or no signs of fatigue during deformation and the carrier element essentially retains the shape achieved by deformation, in particular any elastic part of the deformation is less than that Percentage of the plastic deformation of the carrier element Deformations to be expected can be deformed without noticeable signs of fatigue.
  • the designation as a carrier element also makes it clear that the shape of the carrier element achieved after deformation is essentially retained, even with the borescope head arranged thereon, so that the carrier element is thus self-supporting.
  • some types of tubes are known which are basically suitable as a support element of the device according to the invention. It is particularly advantageous and therefore preferred if the carrier element is a composite tube.
  • the carrier element can comprise a core made of wound metal strip, the metal strip preferably being an aluminum strip and / or wound lengthways.
  • the core is preferably sheathed from plastic, preferably polyethylene.
  • a protective coating preferably a protective film
  • a protective film can be provided on the side of the core opposite the cladding, so that in this case the core is completely surrounded by the cladding and protective covering.
  • a smooth surface of the carrier element on its outer and inner side can be achieved regularly.
  • Suitable pipes are available at the priority date, for example, under the trade name "Dekabon” or under the brand “Synflex” from Eaton Corporation, USA, and are described in more detail, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,216,802.
  • the borescope head can be arranged directly on the carrier element, the leads to the borescope head - be it cables or light guides - can be passed through or along the carrier element. But it is also possible that the boroscopic head is arranged on a flexible boroscope shaft which is guided through the carrier element, which is then for example tubular in shape.
  • the guide tube of the device can be designed for direct attachment to the technical device in a clear and thus reproducibly restorable position, for example by attaching the guide tube to the borescope opening itself or to the surrounding fastening points on the technical device.
  • a guide tube fastening is provided, which can also be fastened in a definite position on the technical device, but which allows the position of the guide tube relative to the guide tube fastening to be changed in a planned and preferably controllable manner. It is then possible after the attachment of the guide tube attachment to the technical device by changing the position of the guide tube appropriately to guide the carrier element one after the other along different paths inside the technical technical device. The different tracks are still completely reproducible.
  • Boroscope openings can be openings provided for this purpose, but - for example in the case of an aircraft engine - also spark plug, fuel nozzle or maintenance openings.
  • the device can preferably comprise a pre-deformation unit for pre-deforming the carrier element before the carrier element is guided through the guide tube.
  • a pre-deformation unit for pre-deforming the carrier element before the carrier element is guided through the guide tube.
  • the device has a drive unit for the carrier element and / or a flexible borescope guided through the carrier element.
  • the drive unit can be designed for the propulsion of the carrier element and / or a boroscope guided therein. It is preferred if the drive unit is designed in addition to the rotation of the carrier element and / or a boroscope guided therein.
  • the guide tube can be adaptively adaptable, d. H. its shape is fundamentally changeable.
  • the adaptive adaptation can take place mechanically, thermomechanically and / or electromechanically.
  • a probe unit for determining the position and / or the orientation of the insertion end of the carrier element can be provided.
  • a corresponding probe unit can be used to check whether the carrier element is following a given path.
  • the probe unit can be designed to determine the position using any known measuring principle, for example time-of-flight analysis from radio or light signals sent and / or received by the probe unit. It is also possible to determine the position on the basis of image evaluation, for which purpose the probe unit comprises suitable image acquisition sensors.
  • the probe unit can also be integrated into the borescope head.
  • the device preferably comprises a control device for controlling the guide tube fastening, the pre-deformation unit, the adaptive adjustment of the guide tube and / or that of the drive unit.
  • control takes place taking into account the position and / or orientation information of the borescope head obtained via a probe unit or through the carrier element.
  • the corresponding position and / or orientation information which can be determined either by a probe unit or - depending on the design of the boroscope guided by the device - also via the guided boroscope, can be used to compare the actual position and / or orientation take place along the specified path and, if a deviation is determined, a suitable countermeasure is initiated.
  • the arrangement according to the invention also includes a borescope which is inserted into the carrier element of the device. Reference is made to the above explanations for an explanation of the arrangement.
  • the borescope head can be a video borescope head in which an electronic image acquisition unit is provided for generating image and / or video data. It can also be designed to acquire 3-D surface data, for example by means of triangulation on the basis of image data from two image acquisition units arranged adjacent to one another.
