[0002] The pre-swirl system is an important component of the secondary air system of aircraft engines. Through reasonable design, the relative total temperature of the cooling air can be effectively reduced and the performance of the pre-swirl system can be improved. The characteristics of the future aircraft engines with variable cycle characteristics are particularly significant in that the air intake requirements in different states vary greatly. Excessive pre-swirl system air intake will increase power consumption and engine fuel consumption. In addition, the number of adjustable components in future variable cycle engines will increase, and the combination adjustment rules will be more complicated, which will cause the boundary combination of the air system to become more complicated and the degree of discretization of the air path parameters to increase. When the main channel components are adjusted with variable geometry, the fixed geometry pre-swirl system configuration design ensures the normal realization of functions such as cooling, wheel rim sealing, and axial force control within a wider envelope, which faces tremendous pressure. The pre-swirl system adjustment technology has extremely high application potential in future aircraft engines.
[0003] However, the existing cooling air regulation method requires the use of a complex driving device and is difficult to achieve precise synchronous control of the pre-swirl system. Therefore, in the technical field, there is a need for a regulation method with a simple structure for synchronously and precisely controlling the pre-swirl system of an aircraft engine.

[0058] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0059] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein.

[0060] A radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment assembly based on planetary gears according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment assembly based on planetary gears is arranged between the engine rotor and the turbine blades, and is responsible for the cooling function of the turbine blades. The engine may be an aircraft engine.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment assembly based on planetary gears according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a pre-swirl system, a transmission module, and a driving module for driving the pre-swirl nozzle adjustment in the pre-swirl system, wherein:
[0062] The pre-swirl system includes: an inner sealing grate 114a and an outer sealing grate 115a which are arranged around the outer circumference of the engine rotor and axially from the inside to the outside, a receiving hole 116 formed between the inner sealing grate 114a and the outer sealing grate 115a, an inner sealing grate sealing ring 114b and an outer sealing grate sealing ring 115b which are arranged around the outer circumference of the inner sealing grate 114a and the outer sealing grate 115a and axially from the inside to the outside, a pre-swirl cavity 113 formed between the inner sealing grate sealing ring 114b and the outer sealing grate sealing ring 115b, a pre-swirl channel left support plate 110a and a pre-swirl channel right support plate 110b which extend radially outward from the pre-swirl cavity 113 and are spaced apart in the axial direction, and a receiving hole 116 formed between the inner sealing grate 114a and the outer sealing grate 115a. a pre-swirl channel 111 between the pre-swirl channel left support plate 110a and the pre-swirl channel right support plate 110b, a plurality of cascade type pre-swirl nozzles 112 circumferentially distributed between the pre-swirl channel left support plate 110a and the pre-swirl channel right support plate 110b, a pre-swirl nozzle rotating shaft 107 respectively connected to each pre-swirl nozzle 112, a cover plate disk 119 arranged on the outer side of the pre-swirl channel right support plate 110b, a turbine disk 120 mounted on the cover plate disk 119 on the outer side, a cover plate cavity 118 formed between the cover plate disk 119 and the turbine disk 120, and a blade air supply hole 121 formed in the turbine disk 120, the cover plate cavity 118 is connected to the receiving hole 116, and the blade air supply hole 121 includes an inner end connected to the cover plate cavity (118) and an outer end connected to the turbine blade;
[0063] The transmission module includes a main gear bearing 108 installed on the outer periphery of the inner sealing comb teeth sealing ring 114b, a main gear 105 installed on the main gear bearing 108, a driving planetary gear 104 meshing with the inner part of the gear ring of the main gear 105, a plurality of follower planetary gears 106 meshing with the inner part and the outer part of the gear ring of the main gear 105, and a main gear bearing locking nut 109 installed on the inner side of the main gear bearing 108, wherein the inner side of the driving planetary gear 104 is connected to the driving module, and the outer side is connected to the pre-rotation nozzle shaft 107, and each of the other follower planetary gears 106 is respectively connected to each pre-rotation nozzle shaft 107.
[0064] In this embodiment, the driving module may include: a driving motor 101, a reducer 102 and a coupling 103 connected in sequence, wherein the reducer 102 and the coupling 103 are connected in sequence to the output shaft of the driving motor 101 to be driven thereby, wherein the driving planetary gear 104 connected to the driving module is connected to the coupling 103 of the driving module. The rotating shaft of the driving motor 101 may be arranged to be parallel to the axial direction of the transmission rotor.
[0065] In this embodiment, the drive motor 101 provides power for adjusting the pre-swirl nozzle 112. The pre-swirl chamber 113 is at the radially inward outlet of the pre-swirl channel 111. The receiving hole 116 receives the airflow from the pre-swirl chamber 113. The inner sealing grate teeth 114a and the inner sealing grate teeth sealing ring 114b are arranged oppositely in the radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and the outer sealing grate teeth 115a and the outer sealing grate teeth sealing ring 115b are arranged oppositely in the radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The pre-swirl chamber 113 is composed of the annular space between the pre-swirl channel 111 and the inner sealing grate teeth 114a and the outer sealing grate teeth 115a.
[0066] In this embodiment, 24 pre-swirl nozzles 112 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the left support plate 110a and the right support plate 110b of the pre-swirl channel, and the pre-swirl nozzle shafts 107 are respectively connected to the pre-swirl nozzles 112. It should be understood that more or less pre-swirl nozzles 112 can be set as needed. One of the pre-swirl nozzle shafts 107 receives drive from the drive motor 101 via the drive planetary gear 104, the reducer 102 and the coupling 103 to drive the drive planetary gear 104 and a pre-swirl nozzle 112 connected to the pre-swirl nozzle shaft 107 to rotate, and the drive planetary gear 104 is meshed with the inner part of the ring gear of the main gear 105, driving the main gear 105 to rotate, thereby driving the other follower planetary gears 106 meshed with the main gear 105 to rotate, and then driving the other pre-swirl nozzles 112 connected to the other follower planetary gears 106 to rotate, so as to achieve synchronous adjustment of all pre-swirl nozzles 112. The driving planetary gear 104 and the following planetary gear 106 together constitute the planetary gears in the transmission module.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a main gear 105 is provided and mounted on a main gear bearing 108. Optionally, 23 follower planetary gears 106 may be provided. Since there is only one driving planetary gear 104, the total number of driving planetary gears 104 and follower planetary gears 106 is the same as the number of adjustable pre-swirl nozzles 112. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, except for the indicated driving planetary gear 104, the remaining planetary gears around the main gear 105 are all follower planetary gears. The driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 may have the same radial size, axial thickness, number of teeth and other parameters.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure the meshing transmission of the driving planetary gears 104 and the follower planetary gears 106 with the main gear 105, the driving planetary gears 104 and the follower planetary gears 106 are arranged in two rows in the axial direction, and are staggered with each other, and meshed with the main gear 105 in a staggered manner in the circumferential direction. In other words, the thickness of the main gear 105 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the driving planetary gears 104 and the follower planetary gears 106, so that one driving planetary gear 104 can be arranged to mesh with the inner part of the gear ring of the main gear 105, 11 follower planetary gears 106 can be arranged to mesh with the inner part of the gear ring of the main gear 105, and 12 follower planetary gears 106 can be arranged to mesh with the outer part of the gear ring of the main gear 105. Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the inner part of the gear ring of the main gear 105 is the left part of the gear ring of the main gear 105 shown in the figure, and the outer part of the gear ring is the right part of the gear ring. The gears in the driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 are not meshed with each other and do not interfere with each other. The driving planetary gear 104 may be formed with an extended protruding connection portion on the inner side for connecting with the coupling 103.
[0069] The number of teeth and radius of the main gear 105, the driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 meet the gear transmission design principle. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the rotation axis radius of the driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 can be set to 155mm, the number of teeth is 18, the pitch circle diameter is 10mm, the thickness is 4mm, the number is 24 in total and the number is consistent with the number of the cascade type pre-swirl nozzle 112; the main gear 105 rotation axis is coaxial with the engine rotor, the number of teeth is 432, the pitch circle diameter is 140mm, the thickness is 10mm, and the number is 1. The driving force of the drive motor 101 to drive the pre-swirl nozzle 112 is greater than the aerodynamic resistance and mechanical resistance of the pre-swirl nozzle 112 adjustment process.
[0070] Each gear in the driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 is respectively connected to a pre-swirl nozzle rotating shaft 107 at the head of a cascade type pre-swirl nozzle 112. Thus, through a pre-swirl nozzle rotating shaft 107 connected to the output of the driving motor 101, through the driving planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106 of the transmission module and the main gear 105, the other cascade type pre-swirl nozzles 112 are driven to rotate, and the angle of the pre-swirl nozzle 112 can be adjusted within a range of 10° to 20°.
[0071] from Figure 1 Observation on the middle right side, and reference Figure 2 When the planetary gear 104 is driven to rotate clockwise, the main gear 105 rotates counterclockwise, driving the follower planetary gear 106 to rotate clockwise, and the pre-swirl nozzle 112 rotates clockwise accordingly, the area of the cascade type pre-swirl channel throat 124 increases, and the airflow rate increases. Figure 3 As shown, when the driving planetary gear 104 rotates counterclockwise, the main gear 105 rotates clockwise, driving the follower planetary gear 106 to rotate counterclockwise, and the pre-swirl nozzle 112 rotates counterclockwise accordingly, the area of the cascade type pre-swirl channel throat 124 is reduced, and the airflow rate is reduced.
[0072] like Figure 1As shown, the cascade type pre-swirl channel 111 is surrounded by the pre-swirl channel support plates 110a and 110b on the left and right sides, and the radial outer side of the cascade type pre-swirl channel 111 is connected to the turbine guide vane 122 to receive the cooling air, and the radial inner side of the cascade type pre-swirl channel 111 is connected to the pre-swirl cavity 113. The turbine guide vane 122 is located at the radial outer periphery of the pre-swirl channel 111. The cover plate 119 and the inner sealing grate teeth 114a, the outer sealing grate teeth 115a, the inner sealing grate teeth sealing ring 114b, and the outer sealing grate teeth sealing ring 115b together surround and form the pre-swirl cavity 113 for collecting the cooling air passing through the cascade type pre-swirl channel 111. The inner sealing grate teeth 114a, the outer sealing grate teeth 115a and the cover plate 119 can be an integrally formed component, wherein the inner sealing grate teeth 114a and the outer sealing grate teeth 115a of the component extend in the axial direction, and the cover plate 119 part turns to expand outward in the radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction to cover the pre-swirl system. The above-mentioned sealing structure can be used to prevent the gas in the pre-swirl chamber 113 from leaking inward and outward. The inner sealing grate teeth sealing ring 114b and the left support plate 110a of the pre-swirl channel can be formed in one piece, wherein the inner sealing grate teeth sealing ring 114b extends from the inside to the outside along the axial direction, and the left support plate 110a of the pre-swirl channel turns to expand outward in the radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The outer sealing comb teeth sealing ring 115b and the right support plate 110b of the pre-swirl channel can be formed integrally, wherein the outer sealing comb teeth sealing ring 115b extends from the outside to the inside along the axial direction, and the right support plate 110b of the pre-swirl channel turns to expand outward in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction.
[0073] In this embodiment, the airflow path formed by the planetary gear-based radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment assembly provided in this embodiment is as follows: the cooling air from the turbine guide vane 122 passes through the cascade type pre-swirl channel 111, and enters the pre-swirl chamber 113 through the throat 124 between the pre-swirl nozzles 112. Except for a small amount of cooling air leaking through the inner sealing grate teeth 114a and the outer sealing grate teeth 115a, most of the cooling air enters the cover plate chamber 118 through the receiving hole 116. The cooling air in the cover plate chamber 118 enters the turbine blade 123 through the blade air supply hole 121 formed in the turbine disk 120 and cools the turbine blade 123. The cover plate chamber 118 is surrounded by the cover plate disk 119, the turbine disk 120 outside the cover plate disk 119, and the drum shaft 117. As described above, the area of the throat 124 is adjusted by adjusting the rotation and angle of the pre-swirl nozzle 112 through the driving module and the transmission module, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the cooling air passing therethrough, thereby providing a cooling function for the turbine blades 123 as needed.
[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment component based on a planetary gear is provided, which is powered by a driving motor 101, and controls the angle of the pre-swirl nozzle 112 by driving the planetary gear 104 and the follower planetary gear 106, thereby changing the throttling area of the pre-swirl channel 111 and the flow rate through the pre-swirl system.
[0075] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an application of the present invention, showing the change of the relative flow rate of cooling gas with the pre-swirl angle. Under the condition of a pre-swirl system pressure ratio of 1.9, the pre-swirl angle is reduced from 20° to 12°, and the pre-swirl system flow rate is reduced by 55%.
[0076] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention provides a radially adjustable pre-swirl system nozzle adjustment component based on planetary gears. By driving the planetary gears with a motor, the adjustment accuracy of the pre-swirl nozzle angle can reach 0.1°, thereby achieving higher flow rate adjustment accuracy. Figure 6 As shown, in an example of applying the present invention, the flow regulation deviation of the planetary gear regulation method is ≯1%, and the flow regulation deviation of the existing regulation method is close to 10%. In addition, adjusting the angle of the cascade type pre-swirl nozzle by a hydraulic actuating mechanism requires 12 sets of actuating mechanisms, which makes it difficult to ensure the synchronization and consistency of the adjustment. The cascade type pre-swirl nozzle adjustment assembly provided by the present invention provides adjustment power through a motor and is driven by planetary gear meshing, which can ensure the synchronization of the adjustment. Figure 7 The existing adjustment method and the planetary gear-based adjustment method of the example of applying the present invention are given, and the absolute values of the maximum difference of the pre-swirl nozzle angles at different positions are compared. The results show that the synchronization of the blade-type pre-swirl nozzle adjustment by the planetary gear is better than the existing adjustment method.

[0078] It should be understood that the order of execution of the steps in the above embodiment does not necessarily mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention.
