Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aerospace transmission and relates to a floating spline stiffness and damping parameter identification device and an identification method. Background Art

[0002] Helicopter tail drive shafting suffers from weak tail boom stiffness, leading to support deformation and axial and radial fluctuations at the connection points. Therefore, floating splines combined with diaphragm couplings are commonly used to enhance tail drive shafting stability and reliability. Grease lubrication is commonly used in helicopter tail drive shafts. However, after a certain number of service cycles, the grease dries out and thins out due to centrifugal stress and frictional heat generation, resulting in poor lubrication. This causes fretting wear on the splines, altering the tooth surface topography and contact conditions, leading to significant changes in spline contact stiffness and damping. This change in spline contact stiffness can alter the critical speed of the shafting. When the shafting operating speed exceeds the critical speed, deteriorating lubrication can increase the friction damping within the spline pair, further inducing rotor instability and the so-called low-frequency synchronous vortex phenomenon. This phenomenon results in high shafting amplitude and high low-frequency vibration energy, potentially leading to serious accidents. Therefore, accurately identifying floating spline contact stiffness and friction damping is a prerequisite for floating spline design and the dynamics of helicopter tail drive shafting.

[0003] In the study of mechanical interface contact characteristics, many researchers have used finite element simulation to model and simulate spline contact stiffness, and combined this with direct stiffness testing for verification. However, research on spline friction damping is very limited, with the only available research focusing on deriving the energy dissipation of spline friction damping and obtaining an equivalent friction damping coefficient, and failing to achieve quantitative experimental verification. Therefore, it is necessary to design a floating spline stiffness and damping parameter identification device and identification method to achieve the combined identification of floating spline contact stiffness and friction damping.

In the non-rotating state, the simulation of the radial vortex axis trajectory of the spline is realized, and the relative motion and friction and wear state between the inner and outer splines are revealed. In combination with the first diaphragm coupling 7, the system is given the ability to float axially freely, and the multi-dimensional motion state of the spline in actual operation is fully reproduced.

[0033] (3) The resonance frequency of the spline shaft system is adjustable: the resonance frequency of the spline shaft system is controlled by changing the wheel mass, diaphragm coupling stiffness, shaft diameter, and support stiffness, simulating the critical speed of the actual helicopter tail shaft.

[0034] (4) While applying a quantitative torque to the spline, the support boundary conditions of the shaft system are quantified: a controllable torque loading system is constructed to ensure that the constraint boundary conditions are clear while applying the torque; the loading arm is equipped with a double spring structure with a constant stiffness and adjustable torque, and precise stiffness control is achieved by replacing the spring; the support end uses an elastic ring with a known small stiffness in series with the rolling bearing to construct a support boundary with a known stiffness, avoiding the problem of traditional rolling bearings with large stiffness and stiffness uncertainty caused by changes in load, clearance and direction;

[0056] 9) Floating spline contact stiffness identification method:

[0057] ① Define the square error function between the inherent characteristic test results and the simulation model modal results:

[0058]
