Description
SPECIFICATION
Methods and Apparatus for Inspecting Stator
Components of Gas Turbine Engines
This invention relates to gas turbine engines, 'and more specifically to methods and apparatus for inspecting blades and vanes without disassembly of the engine.
U.S. Patent 4,078,864 to Howell entitled
"Method and Apparatus for Viewing and
Measuring Damage in an Inaccessible Area", and
of common assignee herewith, discloses state of
the art methods and apparatus for inspecting
inaccessible areas of gas turbine engines. The
apparatus disclosed and the method of inspection
taught require local access ports for inspection of
local components in the areas of the access ports.
To the extent that parts to be inspected can be
rotated into view of the optical instrument the
apparatus and technique are satisfactory.
Stationary components such as stator vanes,
however, are not so adaptable, and generally
require disassembly of the engine for inspection.
Disassembly of an engine for inspection is an
expensive process depriving the owner of the
engine of its use for a substantial period of time.
Manufacturers, operators and owners of engines
have been in search of, and continue to seek
apparatus and techniques for inspecting internal
components without disassembly.
A primary aim of the present invention is to
provide a method and apparatus for inspecting
blades and vanes of a gas turbine engine.
Techniques for inspecting components which are
susceptible to damage without disassembling the
engine are sought, and in one aspect of the
invention a collateral objective is to enable
accurate determination of the specific
circumferential location of the component being
inspected.
According to the method of the present
invention, the viewing end of fiber optic
inspection apparatus is inserted through the
engine case and is affixed to one or more blades
of the rotor such that the viewing end of the
apparatus is movable circumferentially about the
engine in response to rotation of the engine rotor.
In accordance with detail aspects of the
invention the viewing end of the inspection
apparatus has a hook for attaching the viewing
end to one of the rotor blades, and the inspection
technique includes the steps of inserting the
viewing end of the apparatus into the engine flow
path in proximity to one of the rotor blades;
hooking the viewing end of the apparatus to one
of the rotor blades in an orientation such that the
viewing end faces at least one of the stator vanes
to be viewed; viewing the stator vane through the
apparatus; displacing the rotor blade to which the
end of the apparatus is attached circumferentially
to bring the viewing end of the apparatus into
optical alignment with a second of the stator
vanes to be inspected; and viewing said second
stator vane.
A primary feature of the present invention is the technique for advancing the viewing end of the inspection apparatus circumferentially around the engine. The viewing end may be faced in the upstream direction to principally view the trailing edge and suction side surface of the upstream vane and may be faced in the downstream direction to principally view the leading edge and the pressure side surface of the downstream vane. An access port in the approximate region of the components to be inspected is employed. In one embodiment, a guide tube with suitable control features is capable of directing the probe in an upstream or downstream direction from the access port.
A principal advantage of the present method is the ability to inspect heretofore inaccessible components of a gas turbine engine without disassembling the engine. The length of time which an engine need be removed from use for inspection is substantially reduced. Accurate determination of the circumferential location of a component being inspected is enabled by indexing the position of the viewing end to angular movement of the engine rotor or by counting the vanes passed by the viewing end of the apparatus as the rotor is rotated. The concepts are particularly advantageous in inspecting stator vanes of turbine engines and are adaptable to viewing the stator vanes from either the upstream direction or the downstream direction.
The foregoing, and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent in the light of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof as shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a simplified, side elevation view of a gas turbine engine including a cut-away segment showing internal portions of the combustion and turbine sections;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the portions of the combustion and turbine sections showing disposition of the viewing end of fiber optic inspection apparatus in the turbine section of the engine;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 as shown in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an illustration of detailed inspection apparatus constructed in accordance with the concepts of the present invention;;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged illustration of the viewing end of the inspection apparatus showing a hook for attaching the viewing end to one of the rotor blades; and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged illustration of the viewing end of the inspection apparatus showing an inflatable means for affixing the viewing end of the apparatus to the rotor blades.
A gas turbine engine, of the type to which the method and apparatus of the present invention is well suited, is shown in Fig. 1. The engine principally includes a compression section 10, a combustion section 12 and a turbine section 14.
An engine case 1 6 circumscribes the engine. One or more axially extending rotors 1 8 are contained within the case. One or more rows of rotor blades, as represented by the single blades 20 extend outwardly from the rotor. Each blade has a leading edge 22 and a trailing edge 24. A row of stator vanes, as represented by the single vanes 26 is disposed upstream of each row of rotor blades. A gear box 28 for driving accessory components (not shown) is mechanically joined within the compression section to the rotor via the drive shaft 30.
The internal components of the combustion and turbine sections are shown in greater detail in
Fig. 2. A flowpath 32 for working medium gases extends axially through the engine. One or more access ports 34 penetrate the case 1 6 at the combustion section. A combustion chamber 36 inside the combustion section has an inner liner 38 and an outer liner 40. A hole 42 in the outer liner is shown beneath the inspection port. During operation of the engine the hole 42 serves to flow dilution air into the hot working medium gases of the combustion chamber.
During one inspection technique described herein the hole provides access for the inspection apparatus to the engine flowpath. A row of first stage stator vanes, as represented by the single vane 26A is disposed across the flowpath at the downstream end of the combustion chamber. A
row of first stage rotor blades, as represented by the single blade 20A extends from the rotor
immediately downstream of the first stage stator vanes. A row of second stage stator vanes, as
represented by the single vane 26B and a row of second stage rotor blades, as represented by the single blade 20B are disposed immediately downstream of the second stage rotor blades.
Inspection apparatus, such as the fiber optic viewing device 44, for inspecting internal
components of the engine extends into the flow
path through the port 34 and the hole 42 in the outer liner 40 of the combustion chamber.
Although other points of entry into the flowpath
may be employed, entry through the combustion
chamber has proven effective with minimal
complexity. The viewing device has a housing 46,
flexible cable 48 having a viewing end 50, an
eyepiece 52 and a light source 54. Attaching
means, such as the hook 56 shown, is positioned
at the end of the cable for securing the end of the
cable to one of the first stage rotor blades 20A. A
guide tube 58 having a base portion 60 and an
outreach arm 62 extends through the port 34 and the hole 42 for directing the end of the viewing
device toward the components to be inspected.
The outreach arm is hingedly joined to the base
portion. The guide tube has means, such as the
spring 64 and wire 66, for bending the outreach
arm angularly with respect to the base portion.
As is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the flexible
viewing cable 48 has a first fiber optic way 68 .which leads to the eyepiece for viewing the
component to be inspected. An objective lens 70
is disposed at the way 68. At least one second
fiber optic way, as represented by the two ways 72, lead to the light source 54 for illuminating the component to be inspected. An open tube 74 runs parallel to the optic ways and extends into the housing 46. A spring 76 is disposed in the tube and at one end 78 is formed into the hook 56. The opposite end 80 of the spring extends through the housing. A clamp 82 is slideable on the spring and is capable of holding the hook in a retracted position.
Although not a specific concept of the present invention, fiber optic devices such as that illustrated often include means for articulating the viewing end of the flexible cable. In the illustrated apparatus, a lever 84 is capable of articulating the viewing end and a clamp 86 is capable of holding the articulated viewing end in a set position. The particular fiber optic device illustrated is adapted from instruments utilized in the medical industry.
The optics comprise the principal components of a flexible bronchoscope, such as is procurable from Machida Corporation of Norwood, New
Jersey.
The inspection technique of the present invention is particularly advantageous in enabling inspection of components contained deeply within the engine without disassembly of the engine. The time savings in performing this inspection are substantial. For example, inspection of the second stage vanes, as illustrated by Figs. 2 and 3, can be completed in a few hours whereas inspection of second stage vanes by disassembly of the engine may take several days.
Access to the engine flowpath is gained through one of the access ports 34 to the combustion chamber. A guide tube is extended through the case and into the chamber. The guide tube employed has an articulating outreach arm.
The viewing cable is inserted through the tube and into the chamber. The cable may be inserted prior to articulation of the guide tube, or may be inserted after the articulated tube is in position between adjacent vanes. The flexible cable is next advanced from the end of the guide tube with the viewing end of the cable being directed rearwardly through the flowpath. The viewing end of the device is passed between a pair of adjacent first stage blades and is affixed to one or more of the blades in an orientation enabling the viewing end of the device to face rearwardly toward the second stator stage. The engine rotor is next rotated to bring the viewing end of the device into optical alignment with one of the vanes of the second stator stage to be inspected. The vane in optical alignment is examined for structural damage or deterioration. The rotor is next advanced to bring the viewing end of the device into optical alignment with a second of the vanes of the stator stage and the second vane is examined for structural damage or deterioration.
The rotating and viewing steps are repeated until all of the vanes to be inspected have been examined.
Experimentation with the techniques taught herein has shown that insertion and rotation of the viewing end of the probe from two circumferential locations about the flowpath is desirable. The two locations are preferably positioned approximately one hundred eighty degrees (1800) apart so as to limit the internal resistance encountered in dragging the flexible cable around the engine. In accordance with this technique, the viewing end is inserted at one location and is rotated one hundred eighty degrees (1800) with the engine rotor so as to view all vanes within that arcuate sector. The viewing end is then withdrawn from the engine and reinserted at a location approximately one hundred eighty degrees (1800) apart from the original point of insertion. The rotating and viewing steps are repeated.
The rotor 18 of the engine illustrated is mechanically coupled to the gear box 28 via the shaft 30. Additional shafting, not shown, extends radially inward to the rotor within the compression section. Gas turbine mechanics will recognize that the rotor 1 8 is rotatable by externally driving components of the gear box.
The position of the rotor may be indexed to these components to accurately determine the precise vane being inspected. Alternatively, the circumferential position in the flowpath may be determined by counting the number of vanes as the viewing end 50 of the device is rotated past the vanes.
An alternate technique for attaching the viewing end of the fiber optic device to the rotor blades is illustrated in Fig. 6. Inflatable means, such as the bladder 88 circumscribes the viewing end of the fiber optic device. A tube 90 extends from the bladder through the flexible cable to provide a conduit for inflating the bladder.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and omissions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention.
