Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine equipment detection, in particular to a sonic nozzle positive pressure detection pneumatic system and a fuel nozzle blockage degree screening method, and in particular to a method for detecting and screening the blockage degree of fuel nozzles of aircraft engines and a sonic nozzle positive pressure detection pneumatic system. Background Art

[0002] The combustion chamber is one of the three core components of an aircraft engine. The performance of the combustion chamber directly determines the output and emissions of the entire engine. The combustion chamber is mainly composed of several fuel nozzles, up to dozens of them, which are arranged in a ring in the combustion chamber. When working, under the action of the control system, gas or liquid fuel is accurately supplied to the combustion chamber through each fuel nozzle, and fully mixed with the compressed air from the front end, and ignited and burned under the stimulation of the igniter, ensuring that the engine can start smoothly and work under various loads.

[0003] Whether there are more or less impurities in the fuel or compressed air, as the engine runs for an extended period of time, the internal flow path of each fuel nozzle will become clogged, especially in aircraft engines where the flow paths are smaller and the combustion temperature is higher, making it more prone to clogging. Moreover, the degree of clogging of each fuel nozzle is different, but the compressed air supplied is the same. In this case, the degree of combustion of each fuel nozzle is different, which will cause high-frequency vibration of the engine due to the uneven distribution of the annular temperature field, and emissions will also increase significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the degree of clogging of the fuel nozzle based on whether the two parameters, the dispersion of the combustion chamber temperature field and the output of the engine, are abnormal, and select the fuel nozzles with excessive clogging for cleaning or replacement, so as to ensure the performance of the entire engine in a timely and effective manner.

[0004] After searching the prior art, the patent document with publication number CN110146298A discloses an engine fuel system test device and method, which is mainly composed of an air supply component, a pressure reducing component, a voltage stabilizing component and a test component, wherein the core test component adopts a high-precision flow meter. If this technology is applied to the blockage detection of the fuel nozzle of an aircraft engine, it still has the disadvantages of low test accuracy, too large test flow, complex system, inconvenient operation and short maintenance cycle. In addition, the patent document with publication number CN109724789A discloses an aero-modified gas turbine fuel nozzle flow test system and method, the core of which is the use of a differential pressure reducing valve. The test accuracy of this technology is low, and the differential pressure reducing valve needs to be customized according to specific applications rather than standards. The patent document with the publication number of CN103323230A discloses a gas combustion nozzle test method and device, which connects the combustible gas and high-pressure air to the tested nozzle and generates a vortex-shaped saturated mixed gas in the nozzle. When encountering the electric spark emitted by the pulse igniter, combustion is generated to form a torch, the color, length and shape of the flame are observed, and the maximum temperature of the flame and the content of harmful gases discharged into the air are detected by sensors, so as to provide a design basis for the application of such combustion nozzles. The patent document can objectively evaluate and judge the advantages and disadvantages of the nozzle structure design, and can find the best air-fuel ratio of various nozzles or a single nozzle. However, the fuel nozzle in the patent document will still be blocked, and the vibration caused by the blockage cannot be avoided. The above three patent documents cannot screen the fuel nozzle, analyze the blockage degree of the nozzle and judge whether the fuel nozzle is usable after being blocked, and do not use the sonic nozzle structure for detection. The sonic nozzle can meet the calibration of different types of flow meters, and has the characteristics of low inaccuracy, wide range, high degree of automation, many types of instruments to be tested, and novel structure.

[0080] Preferably, the gas circuit safety valve assembly 3 is composed of two groups, namely the first gas circuit safety valve assembly and the second gas circuit safety valve assembly. The first gas circuit safety valve assembly and the second gas circuit safety valve assembly are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the sonic nozzle test tube assembly 7. Two of the three-way joints 31 are 180 degrees apart.

Preferably, the hose 62 is a metal braided hose.

[0085] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for screening the degree of blockage of a fuel nozzle is provided, which uses the sonic nozzle positive pressure detection pneumatic system for detection and screening, and comprises the following steps:

[0086] Step 1: Detect the positive pressure of the sonic nozzle to check whether the pneumatic system is blocked;

[0087] Step 2: Detect multiple new fuel nozzles to obtain the pressure sensor 8 readings P1 on multiple intake straight pipe sections 72. Preferably, detect 5 new fuel nozzles;

[0088] Step 3: Detect multiple old fuel nozzles; obtain the pressure sensor 8 readings P2 on multiple intake straight pipe sections 72, preferably, detect 5 old fuel nozzles;

[0089] Step 4: defining a basic reference value, a P upper limit value, and a P lower limit value according to a plurality of P1s and P2s, and screening old fuel nozzles according to the basic reference value, the P upper limit value, and the P lower limit value;

[0090] The steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 are performed in sequence, or the steps 1, 3, 2 and 4 are performed in sequence.

[0091] Preferably, P1 and P2 can reflect the gas mass flow rate through the fuel nozzle. After the multiple new fuel nozzles and the multiple old fuel nozzles are tested, the connection between the air inlet interface assembly 1 and the external air supply system is disconnected, the switch valve 2 is closed to the OFF position, and the pressure regulating valve 5 is rotated to the minimum pressure position.

[0092] The step 1 is specifically as follows:

[0093] Open the switch valve 2 and the pressure regulating valve 5 to the ON position, and observe whether the readings of the pressure sensors 8 on the air inlet straight pipe section 72 and the air outlet straight pipe section 76 are atmospheric pressure values, and whether the difference between the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 is within the set range;

[0094] If the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 are not atmospheric pressure values ​​or the difference between the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 is large and not within the set range, it is determined that the initial setting of the pressure sensor 8 is improper or the internal pipeline of the speed nozzle positive pressure detection pneumatic system is blocked. This fault needs to be eliminated until the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 are atmospheric pressure values ​​and the difference between the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 is within the set range;

[0095] If the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 are atmospheric pressure values, and the difference between the readings of the two pressure sensors 8 is within the set range, then proceed to step 2 or step 3;

[0096] The step 2 comprises the following steps:

[0097] Step 2.1: Preset the pressure value of the gas circuit safety valve assembly 3, then adjust the switch valve 2 to the OFF position, and rotate the pressure regulating valve 5 to the minimum pressure position;

[0098] Step 2.2: Connect the air inlet interface assembly 1 to the external air supply system, and connect the air outlet interface assembly 9 to the first new fuel nozzle; preferably, the external air supply system provides an air source with a pressure much higher than the atmospheric pressure, thereby ensuring the prerequisite that the sonic nozzle 75 can be adjusted to the sonic state, that is, the positive pressure method;

[0099] Step 2.3: Open the switch valve 2 to the ON position, rotate the pressure regulating valve 5 toward the maximum pressure position until the reading of the pressure sensor 8 on the outlet straight pipe section 76 reaches the set value, and read the reading P1 of the pressure sensor 8 on the inlet straight pipe section 72;

[0100] The set value is determined by the airway structure of the fuel nozzle to be tested, which is a prerequisite for ensuring that the test gas can smoothly pass through the tested object. The set values ​​of different types of tested objects are generally different; the sonic nozzle test tube group 7 matches the airway diameter of the fuel nozzle to be tested, ensuring that the sonic nozzle 75 can work in a sonic state; the sonic nozzle test tube group 7 has a sonic characteristic, that is, when it works in a sonic state, the mass flow passing through is only related to the pressure value at the entrance of the sonic nozzle, and it is a linear positive proportional relationship. The more serious the blockage of the fuel nozzle, the smaller the mass flow passing through, and the smaller the P1 value; if different types of tested objects need to be tested, it is only necessary to disconnect the hose assembly 6 upstream and downstream of the sonic nozzle test tube group 7 and replace it with a sonic nozzle test tube group 7 of another specification. The connection is fast, and a system can be used to detect multiple types of fuel nozzles;

[0101] Step 2.4: Close the switch valve 2 to the OFF position, rotate the pressure regulating valve 5 to the minimum pressure position, disconnect the gas outlet interface assembly 9 from the first new fuel nozzle, and connect the gas outlet interface assembly 9 to the second new fuel nozzle, and repeat step 2.3;
