Description

Technical Field

The aero-engine fuel pump control system, with its core architecture based on an electric fuel pump, is one of the key components in the development of multi-electric / hybrid electric engines and is considered by the industry as a major revolution in aero-engine fuel control systems.

[0003] The normal operation of aircraft fuel tanks is essential for the functioning of the aircraft engine fuel control system and is a prerequisite for the reliable operation of the pump control system. When an aircraft fuel tank malfunctions, if effective technical methods are not adopted for fault diagnosis and handling, it will lead to the electric fuel pump drawing in air and the fuel pump wearing out and being damaged; the solenoid valve will be damaged due to insufficient cooling flow, and the fuel tank malfunction will trigger a chain reaction, which will exacerbate the failure of the aircraft engine fuel control system.

[0004] In existing aircraft engines, the fuel tank electrical signal is directly output to the aircraft instrument room. The aircraft engine fuel control system is not connected to the aircraft fuel tank electrical signal, so it cannot diagnose and handle aircraft fuel tank faults. It relies solely on the flight crew to make decisions based on the indication signals in the instrument room, which often leads to damage to the fuel control system due to the flight crew's untimely handling.

[0086] The SCI controller is used to receive and send asynchronous serial data. Its main control parameters include baud rate, data format, and transmission and reception control.

[0087] The communication protocol is Modbus-RTU, where the device is the master and the electric fuel pump system is the slave. Communication is conducted in a master-slave call mode with the slave responding. The baud rate is 115200bps and the communication period is 10ms.

[0088] The motor torque calculation module calculates the rotational torque of the electric fuel pump based on the bus voltage, current, speed, and efficiency, serving as the basis for fuel tank fault diagnosis. This includes bus voltage calculation, bus current calculation, electric fuel pump input power calculation, and electric fuel pump rotational torque calculation.

The calculation method is as follows: establish an efficiency table corresponding to different speeds of the electric fuel pump in the microprocessor, where η is the efficiency of the electric fuel pump, then T = P * η / n.

[0093] The fuel tank fault diagnosis module determines whether the aircraft fuel tank is faulty based on the electric fuel pump's rotational torque T and employs a fault diagnosis strategy. The diagnosis method involves storing the rated torque T corresponding to each rotational speed in the microprocessor. N Let D = T / T N This is the ratio of the current torque to the rated torque; combined with... Figure 3 The torque change during the fault is sampled at a period of 0.01 ms. The T corresponding to the first sampling time is denoted as T1, and the T corresponding to the second sampling time as T2. The first derivative T′ of T is then calculated. A counter c represents the number of times T′ exceeds the limit. When the torque slope change is very small, i.e., T′ < 0.02, c is incremented; otherwise, c is cleared. When both conditions D < 0.6 and c > 4 are met simultaneously, it indicates a fuel tank fault, and the fault is marked F. fault Set, otherwise F fault Reset to zero.

[0096] The calculation of the electric fuel pump speed under fault conditions is used to calculate the given speed of the electric fuel pump under aircraft fuel tank failure conditions, preventing fuel control system malfunctions. The calculation method for the electric fuel pump speed is as follows: differentiate T′ again to obtain the second derivative T″ of the electric fuel pump's rotational torque. If T″ = 0, it is assumed that the torque fluctuation is very small and the slope is stable, and the corresponding electric fuel pump speed is n. f Then 0.8n f The expected speed for an electric fuel pump.

N Let D = T / T N ; Sample T at a period of 0.01ms, and denote the T corresponding to the first sampling time as T1 and the T corresponding to the second sampling time as T2, and then calculate the first derivative T′ of T; The counter c represents the number of times T′ exceeds the limit. When T′ < 0.02, c is incremented; otherwise, c is cleared. When D < 0.6 and c ≥ 5, the aircraft fuel tank is judged to be faulty, and the fault is marked F. fault Set to 1, otherwise F fault Reset to zero.

8. The aircraft fuel tank fault diagnosis and handling device in the electric fuel system according to claim 7, characterized in that, The fuel tank failure handling module reports the failure status when the aircraft fuel tank fails, and calculates the expected speed of the electric fuel pump under the failure status. When F fault When the flag is set, the fault status is sent to the electric fuel pump system via the RS422 communication interface; The method for calculating the expected speed of the electric fuel pump under fault conditions is as follows: Differentiate the first derivative T′ of T again to obtain the second derivative T” of the electric fuel pump's rotational torque, and then obtain the motor speed n corresponding to T”=0. f The expected speed n of the electric fuel pump under fault conditions y 0.8n f The expected speed n of the electric fuel pump under fault conditions. y The command is sent to the electric fuel pump to control it to operate at the desired speed n. y Work.
