Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of air bearings, and discloses an ultrasonic-based air foil bearing air film thickness measurement system and method, including an eddy current displacement sensor, an ultrasonic transmitting and receiving device, a hydrogel layer and signal processing equipment, and the air foil Real-time non-destructive monitoring of the air film thickness of the disc bearing. The eddy current displacement sensor measures the displacement of the rotor in two vertical directions, and calculates the axis trajectory of the rotor; the ultrasonic transmitting and receiving device transmits and receives the ultrasonic signal reflected by the hydrogel layer, and transmits to the The signal processing equipment transmits data; the signal processing equipment analyzes and stores the signal data to obtain the elastic deformation of the air foil bearing support layer measurement point; according to the rotor axis track and the elastic deformation of the support layer measurement point, the measurement point is obtained. Air film thickness. The invention realizes the non-intervention measurement of the air film thickness of the air foil bearing by introducing ultrasonic measurement and combining the hydrogel and the air foil bearing.

Description

technical field

[0001] Generally speaking, the present invention relates to the technical field of air bearings, and more specifically, relates to a novel measurement system and method for air film thickness of air foil bearings based on ultrasonic waves. Background technique

[0002] Air foil bearings have many advantages such as high speed, long life, oil-free lubrication, and compact structure. They are considered to be ideal products for replacing conventional oil film lubricated rolling bearings and sliding bearings under high temperature and high speed conditions. Due to high machining accuracy and high load capacity, air foil bearings are widely used in high-speed rotating equipment in key fields such as aerospace and defense.

[0003] A typical air foil bearing usually consists of a three-layer structure of bearing housing, corrugated foil and top foil. The supporting layer formed by the corrugated foil and the top foil enables adaptive adjustment according to the w...
