Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aero-engine technology, and in particular relates to a fan rotor blade structure and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing technical solutions for aircraft engines, driven by multiple requirements such as lightweight structure, low aerodynamic losses, reduced parts count, and increased reliability, often utilize an integral bladed disc structure. Compared to traditional disc-and-tenon joints, integral bladed discs are more prone to vibration during engineering, and the problem of excessive vibration is particularly prominent. Furthermore, as the load of modern fans continues to increase, blade designs are becoming more radical, making airflow unpredictable. Due to the unstable nature of airflow at the blade tips and the excitation source generated by the rotating pressure waves generated by vortex shedding, fan rotor blades rotate at a speed lower than the blade speed. This results in airflow-induced non-whole-order blade vibration in the fan, which can, in severe cases, cause rotational stall of fan components or blade flutter damage.
[0003] The solutions commonly used for this type of vibration problem are: 1. The swept portion of the inlet edge of the blade tip is cut to change the airflow of the blade to improve the aerodynamic excitation source and solve the problem of high-order corner vibration; 2. Adjust the blade profile and load of adjacent stator blades and adjust the aerodynamic matching between stages to change the aerodynamic excitation source of the rotor blades; 3. When non-integral-order vibration occurs, adjust the regulation rules of the adjustable intake support plate and nozzle area at the engine operating point, and change the overall matching of the engine to avoid the fan aerodynamic excitation source; 4. Add a damping device to the fan rotor structure to suppress blade vibration and absorb vibration energy; 5. Reduce the tip clearance, improve the influence of unsteady flow at the tip, and reduce the airflow excitation energy.
[0004] The existing solutions to the non-integral-order vibration of blisks have the following technical problems: 1. The blade tip cut angle will break the blade profile integrity, reduce the blade's work capacity, significantly lead to a decrease in fan component margin and efficiency, and adversely affect the performance of the entire machine; 2. Adjusting the blade profiles of adjacent stator blades cannot completely solve the problem of non-whole-order vibration. This measure usually works only when used in conjunction with other means. It also has an adverse effect on component performance, and in engineering applications, new stator blades need to be put into production, which is costly in engineering applications.
[0005] 3. Adjusting the regulation of the adjustable air intake support plate and the nozzle area essentially adjusts the fan's aerodynamic state on the common working line of the entire machine when non-whole-order vibration occurs, thereby avoiding the problem of non-whole-order vibration within a specific speed range of the fan components. However, this method has a significant impact on the performance of the entire machine and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of non-whole-order vibration. It only actively avoids vibration from the perspective of the overall machine operation strategy, which still leaves some risks. 4. The integral blade disk structure is different from the traditional disk-tenon connection structure. Due to the lack of disk-tenon friction, the structural damping is very small. In addition, because the original disk-tenon connection space is eliminated, it is difficult to inherit the use of traditional damping structural measures (such as damping blocks placed under the blade edge plate or damping plates in the gap between the blade tenon and the disk tenon groove). The damping structure can only be placed away from the blade body and blade tip, which will reduce its vibration reduction and absorption effect. 5. Although reducing the tip clearance can reduce the airflow excitation effect, considering the steady-state and transitional state usage requirements of the entire machine envelope (the tip cannot rub against the casing body), the tip clearance cannot be reduced indefinitely, so the effect of this method is also limited. Summary of the Invention
