Fast and accurate registration research has important theory significance and engineering application value in improving digital measurement accuracy and efficiency. Aiming at solving registration precision and registration speed problem, the extraction scheme of contour dominant point, correspondence establishment method and the objective function of registration are discussed in the paper. Compared with other extraction ones, the scheme can extract typical characters of the blade contour effectively. It is essential to sample measuring points which can represent the entire blade with sufficient confidence and accuracy. Unlike the registration method that only minimizes the one-way distance between the data points and the initial fitted curves, the weighted mutual (two-way) distances between the template profile curves and the data points as the objective function is considered in the paper. The registration algorithm based on iterative closest point algorithm is introduced in details. Using experimental method, the validation of proposed model registration algorithm is verified. Two experimental examples were used to demonstrate registration precision and effectiveness.
In the field of aeronautics, the tip clearance of rotor exerts a crucial influence on the performance of the aero engine. As defined as the radial distance between the top of the blade and the inner wall of the casing, the tip clearance of too large or small size will adversely affect the normal running of the engine. In order to realize accurate measurement of the tip clearance in a simple way, a non-contact measuring method by the chromatic confocal displacement sensor is proposed in the paper. The sensor possesses the advantages such as small volume, good signal-to-noise ratio, high accuracy and response frequency etc., which make it be widely used in engineering and industry. For testing the performance and potential application of the sensor, a simulation testing platform is established. In the platform, a simulation blisk is installed on the air bearing spindle and a chromatic confocal displacement sensor is fixed on the platform to measure the displacement variation of the blade tip, which can be used to characterize the variation of the tip clearance. In the simulation experiments, both of single and continuous measurement of the tip clearance of the 36 blades on the blisk is executed. As the results of experiments show, the chromatic confocal displacement sensor can meet the requirements of measuring task, in which both of high measuring efficiency and accuracy could be achieved. Therefore, the measuring method proposed in the paper can be utilized in the actual assembling sites of the aero engine.
