Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic inspection apparatus for inspection of a dovetail portion of a turbine rotor, and more particularly, to an ultrasonic inspection apparatus for ultrasonic inspection of a dovetail portion of a turbine rotor, And more particularly, to a multi-joint ultrasonic inspection apparatus for testing a dovetail portion of a turbine rotor, which can easily and effectively check whether a tooth of a turbine rotor and a dovetail portion of a bucket are defective by freely adjusting an installation angle of a probe.
Steam turbines used in nuclear power plants and thermal power plants are devices that rotate by this force by striking high temperature, high pressure steam against a plurality of circumferentially arranged blades on the rotor shaft.
The turbine having such a function is composed of a rotor shaft serving as a rotation center, a wheel installed in a ring shape on the rotor shaft, and a plurality of blades installed along the outer peripheral surface of the wheel. And the blades are installed in multiple stages with different lengths depending on the position on the rotor shaft.
The blade located at the final stage of the rotor shaft is the longest and heaviest in length as shown in FIG. 1, (Not shown in the drawings) are formed by forming a plurality of concave-convex fingers on a root of a blade (this is commonly referred to as a bucket) and forming a corresponding pin hole in the wheel, A dovetail coupling method in which a pin is fastened to a coupling hole, and a curved axial entry type.
Even though the blade and the wheel are firmly coupled by the above-described coupling method, cracks may be generated or broken at the coupling portion where the bucket and the wheel are coupled by the vibration generated during the operation of the turbine and the centrifugal force due to the high- And noise may be generated. In severe cases, the blade may be disengaged from the wheel during operation, causing serious damage to the entire power generation facility. Therefore, it is periodically inspected whether cracks are present at the joints between the buckets of the blades and the wheels, and the integrity thereof is evaluated.
However, since the joint between the bucket and the wheel is not exposed to the outside, it is difficult to perform a visual inspection. The surface of the blade, except for the side surface of the blade having a certain plane shape, is a curved surface whose shape is irregular, Also, since the installation interval between the blades is narrow, it is difficult to access the inspection equipment and it is also difficult to inspect this portion using a large-sized inspection apparatus.
For this reason, when inspecting the joining area between the bucket and the wheel, the wedge unit with a small ultrasonic probe is manually brought into contact with the limited position of the blade surface, and the joining portion (weak portion) Since the blades of the blades constituting the turbine are formed in an almost irregular manner in the vertical direction or in the left and right direction on the almost entire surface and the inside of the blades is formed in a complicated structure of a concavo-convex shape, It is impossible to appropriately inspect the vulnerable portion. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the inspection while locating the installation position where the inspection can be performed by locating the wedge unit to which the ultrasonic probe is attached by the trial and error method Choosing an installation location also takes a lot of time The.
In addition, even if the probe (or wedge unit) is properly installed by the trial and error method described above, the probe used for this purpose is composed of one ultrasonic generating unit. Therefore, In order to change the installation position of the transducer, it is necessary to carry out an inspection several times while slightly changing the installation position of the ultrasonic transducer. In this process, since the installation position of the transducer is changed, (Ultrasonic wave generating unit) is directed toward the weak part to be inspected, it takes a lot of time for the inspection.
In order to solve the above problems, the present applicant has developed a wedge unit for ultrasonic flaw detection having a curved surface corresponding to the curved surface of the blade, and has received a patent registration (registered patent No. 1450516).
