For example, a connection can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand its specific meaning in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] A system for suppressing pressure pulsation and vibration in aircraft hydraulic lines, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are vibration damper 1, accumulator 2, rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3, and metal single-hole pipe clamp 4.
[0039] Vibration damper 1, accumulator 2, rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3, and metal single-hole pipe clamp 4 are installed on the hydraulic pipeline. The rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3 and metal single-hole pipe clamp 4 are connected to the machine body structure through the pipeline support 5.
[0040] The hydraulic pipeline inlet is connected to the outlet of the hydraulic pump 6, and the outlet is connected to the inlet of the hydraulic load 7. A one-way oil supply valve 8 and a high-pressure oil filter 9 can be installed sequentially on the hydraulic pipeline, and a high-pressure oil source 14 on the ground can be connected through a high-pressure pipeline. The connection node of the high-pressure pipeline on the hydraulic pipeline is located between the one-way oil supply valve 8 and the high-pressure oil filter 9. A pressure valve 15 can be installed on the high-pressure pipeline.
[0041] The hydraulic pump 6 can be a piston pump. Its inlet is connected to the outlet of the hydraulic oil tank 10 through a low-pressure pipeline. The inlet of the hydraulic oil tank 10 is connected to the outlet of the hydraulic load 7 through a main return oil pipeline. A main return oil filter 11 can be installed on the main return oil pipeline, and the return oil port of the hydraulic pump 6 is connected through a secondary return oil pipeline. The connection node of the secondary return oil pipeline on the main return oil pipeline is located between the main return oil filter 11 and the hydraulic oil tank 10. A secondary return oil filter 12 and a one-way return oil valve 13 can be installed sequentially on the secondary return oil pipeline.
[0042] Vibration damper 1 can be an airbag type pressure pulsation damper, which is installed at the inlet of the hydraulic line, near the outlet of the hydraulic pump 6, and upstream of the one-way oil supply valve 8. Accumulator 2 can be a hydraulic accumulator, which is installed between the high-pressure oil filter 9 and the hydraulic load 7, so as to reduce the pressure pulsation inside the hydraulic line from the source, and reduce the overall pressure pulsation value from the hydraulic pump 6 to the high-pressure oil filter 9 and the hydraulic load 7, as well as from the hydraulic pump 6 to the pressure valve 15, thereby reducing the pulsation stress of the hydraulic line.
[0043] In a specific example, the simulation compares the effect of installing damper 1 and accumulator 2 on suppressing the pressure pulsation at the outlet of hydraulic pump 6 in the hydraulic pipeline. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the comparison shows that installing damper 1 and accumulator 2 on the hydraulic pipeline has a good effect on suppressing the pressure pulsation at the outlet of hydraulic pump 6.
[0044] The rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3 and the metal single-hole pipe clamp 4 can adopt a clamp structure, with the two halves connected by bolts and tightened onto the hydraulic pipeline. The pipeline support 5 can be designed in an L-shape, with one side panel bolted to the rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3 or the metal single-hole pipe clamp 4, and the other side panel bolted to the machine body structure. Figure 3 , 4 As shown.
[0045] In a specific experiment, rubber single-hole pipe clamps 3 and metal single-hole pipe clamps 4 were distributed on a single hydraulic titanium alloy pipeline. The rubber single-hole pipe clamps 3 and metal single-hole pipe clamps 4 were installed and fixed using pipeline supports 5 of the same size and with consistent spatial orientation. A three-dimensional pipeline and finite element model were constructed, and a certain vibration excitation was applied to the fixed constraint part of the pipeline support 5 for simulation. The stress response results on the pipeline were obtained as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the stress response results on the rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3 and the metal single-hole pipe clamp 4 are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0046] Using a metal single-hole pipe clamp 4 can better secure the hydraulic pipeline and reduce the stress caused by internal pressure pulsation in the hydraulic pipeline. It is suitable for installation at locations where pressure pulsation causes significant stress to the hydraulic pipeline, such as near the outlet of the hydraulic pump 6.
[0047] The use of rubber single-hole pipe clamp 3 can better absorb vibration energy, reduce the stress on hydraulic lines caused by airframe vibration, and reduce the stress on pipe support 5 caused by hydraulic line vibration. It is suitable for installation in locations where airframe vibration causes greater stress on hydraulic lines and their pipe support 5, such as near the aircraft engine.
[0048] Under complex working conditions of pressure pulsation and machine vibration, the number of rubber single-hole clamps 3 and metal single-hole clamps 4 and their position distribution on the hydraulic pipeline can be designed according to the stress conditions of the hydraulic pipeline. By matching the use of rubber single-hole clamps 3 and metal single-hole clamps 4, a moderately soft and hard fixing method can be designed for the hydraulic pipeline. The stress conditions of the hydraulic pipeline and the pipeline support 5 can be reasonably controlled. This can not only achieve reliable fixing of the hydraulic pipeline, but also prevent excessive transmission of machine vibration energy to the hydraulic pipeline, thus effectively avoiding the problem of hydraulic pipeline and pipeline support 5 breakage.
[0049] The design of the aircraft hydraulic pipeline pressure pulsation and vibration suppression system mainly involves designing the number of rubber single-hole clamps 3 and metal single-hole clamps 4 and their positional distribution on the hydraulic pipeline. The following method can be used as a reference:
[0050] A three-dimensional pipeline and finite element model of the pressure pulsation and vibration suppression system of the aircraft hydraulic pipeline was constructed. Excitation was applied to the hydraulic pipeline and its pipeline support 5 to simulate the internal pressure pulsation of the hydraulic pipeline and the external vibration of the aircraft body, and the stress distribution and vibration frequency and amplitude on the hydraulic pipeline and its pipeline support 5 were obtained.
[0051] If the stress distribution and vibration frequency and amplitude on the hydraulic pipeline and its pipeline support 5 do not meet the design requirements, i.e. there is a risk of breakage, then the number of rubber single-hole pipe clamps 3 and metal single-hole pipe clamps 4 and their position distribution on the hydraulic pipeline should be readjusted until the stress distribution and vibration frequency and amplitude on the hydraulic pipeline and its pipeline support 5 meet the design requirements.
[0052] The technical solution of this application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the protection scope of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this application.
