Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature measurement technology, and in particular to a hypersonic temperature sensor measurement device. Background Technology
[0002] In aero engines, performance tests of structures such as compressors, turbines, and fans require the use of temperature measurement devices to collect temperatures at multiple points.
[0003] Chinese patent CN106918410A discloses a total temperature blade-type probe, including a temperature sensor, lead wire, stagnation cover, heat insulation ring, and blades. Each blade has at least five measuring points. The stagnation cover and temperature sensor are fixed near the leading edge of the blade, with the axis of the stagnation cover facing the expected incoming flow direction. The head of the temperature sensor is fitted with a heat insulation ring. Two symmetrical outflow holes are opened on the left and right sides of the stagnation cover. The lead wire is fixed on the blade surface or inside the blade and extends from the blade root. This probe can simultaneously measure the total temperature at multiple points between blade rows in a short measurement time.

[0026] In this embodiment, the exposed-end armored thermocouple 3 has a high response frequency. The outer tube 1 and the stagnation cover 2 are made of metal. The stagnation cover 2 and the exposed-end armored thermocouple 3 are sealed and welded. The metal shell 31 of the exposed-end armored thermocouple 3 is filled with inorganic insulating particles 33, which can reliably fix the thermocouple wire 32 inside the metal shell 31. The overall structure of the hypersonic temperature sensor measuring device is reliable, which can extend the temperature acquisition time of the hypersonic temperature sensor measuring device under the impact of high temperature and hypersonic airflow and improve the reliability of the measurement results. The hypersonic temperature sensor measurement device also includes a temperature calculation module connected to an exposed-end armored thermocouple. This module corrects the measured temperature of the exposed-end armored thermocouple using a temperature correction and compensation formula, outputting the static temperature. The temperature correction and compensation formula is as follows:
[0027]
[0028] In the formula, The measured temperature value is for an exposed-end armored thermocouple. For static temperature, The gas flow velocity in the area to be measured. For isobaric specific heat capacity, To restore the positive coefficient, As a reference for restoring positive coefficients, For reference pressure, Here is the reference temperature, and p is the real-time pressure.

[0036] In some embodiments, the weld 5 between the metal housing 31 and the stagnation shield 2 of the exposed armored thermocouple 3 is an electron beam weld. The weld 5 has a high depth-to-width ratio, is not easily oxidized at the weld, has good process repeatability, and has a small amount of thermal deformation, which helps to further improve the connection reliability between the metal housing 31 and the stagnation shield 2 and extend the service life of the hypersonic temperature sensor measuring device.
[0037] In some embodiments, the hypersonic temperature sensor measuring device further includes a cooling structure covering the outer tube 1. The cooling structure has a cooling channel for introducing a fluid medium. The input and output ends of the cooling channel are both located at the open end of the outer tube 1, to further extend the residence time of the hypersonic temperature sensor measuring device under the impact of high-temperature hypersonic airflow. The cooling structure is a stainless steel cooling structure.
[0038] In some embodiments, magnesium oxide particles are filled between the metal shell 31 and the thermocouple wire 32 of the exposed-end armored thermocouple 3, which helps to extend the service life of the exposed-end armored thermocouple 3 under high-temperature and hypersonic airflow impact conditions.
