Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rotor strength testing, and in particular relates to a carbon fiber rotor strength testing device for a rotating machinery. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber materials, due to their high structural strength, are widely used to manufacture various components, replacing traditional metal materials. In some applications, the rotor drums of rotating machinery are made entirely of carbon fiber composite materials, and their reliability requires appropriate testing. The strength of carbon fiber rotors is related to factors such as the carbon fiber material, ply thickness, carbon fiber winding angle, and winding method, any of which can cause significant variations in the rotor's strength. The most effective stress-loading method for assessing rotor drum strength is to increase the stress by increasing the speed. However, increasing the speed to cause rotor failure is very difficult, and external force must be applied to destroy the rotor structure in order to efficiently and accurately complete the carbon fiber rotor strength test. Furthermore, in some specialized applications, the strength of carbon fiber rotors in rotating machinery needs to be tested at a certain operating speed. However, if a working rotor fails, the rotor fragments will rub against the machine's outer drum, causing it to rotate. This necessitates specialized rotor strength testing equipment to meet these technical requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a rotating machinery carbon fiber rotor strength testing device is characterized in that it includes a light gas gun connected to a rotating machinery 6 via a flexible connector 5, the light gas gun includes an air chamber 1 and a side loading chamber 3 connected by a pipeline, and a solenoid valve 2 is provided on the pipeline, the outlet of the side loading chamber 3 is connected to one end of a launch tube 4, and the other end of the launch tube 4 is connected to the flexible connector 5.
[0023] The air chamber 1, the electromagnetic valve 2, the side loading chamber 3 and the launching tube 4 are arranged coaxially.
[0024] The air chamber 1 is filled with nitrogen at a pressure not exceeding 5 MPa;
[0025] A cover plate is provided at the bullet inlet of the side loading chamber 3 .
[0026] The plane where the bullet feeding port of the side loading chamber 3 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the connection port of the side loading chamber 3 and the launch tube 4 is located.
[0027] The flexible connector 5 is connected to the rotating machine and the launch tube by bolts.
[0028] The connection port between the rotating machine 6 and the flexible connector 5 is arranged in the middle of the rotating machine 6 .
[0029] The flexible connector is a stainless steel bellows, which can ensure the vacuum performance of the system. Its radial bending and axial expansion and contraction characteristics ensure the rotation angle during the failure process of the rotating machinery.
[0030] The rotating machinery carbon fiber rotor strength testing device further includes a remote switch connected to the solenoid valve 2 via a signal line to achieve remote control, which is beneficial to ensuring personnel safety.
[0031] Working principle of the present invention:
[0032] When using this invention to test rotor strength, the projectile is propelled at high speed by releasing high-pressure nitrogen from the air chamber, striking the rotating machinery in operation. Rotating machinery rotors rotate at high speeds during operation. When external impacts are applied to rotating components, they experience extreme stress. When the stress exceeds the material's strength limit, the rotor will fail, and the machine will rotate as the rotor impacts.
[0033] Using nitrogen as the driving gas and varying the air chamber pressure effectively controls the projectile velocity, applying varying impact energies to the rotor to ensure rotor failure. By using flexible components to connect the light gas cannon and rotating machinery, the rotation angle after machine failure can be measured, allowing for quantitative calculation of the strength of the rotating machinery's carbon fiber rotors and providing a reliable testing method. The specific process for measuring the rotation angle after machine failure is as follows: when the machine rotor fails, the machine will rotate as the rotor collides with it due to the flexible connection. An angle measuring tool is then used to measure the angle between the machine's axis and the light gas cannon's axis, thereby determining the rotation angle after failure. Furthermore, due to the flexible connection, the kinetic energy generated by rotor fragments rubbing against the machine's outer cylinder after the working rotor fails is converted into overall rotation of the machine, avoiding the outer cylinder rotation caused by rigid connections.
[0034] The working process of the present invention:
[0035] During the loading operation, the side loading cover 3 is removed and the projectile is loaded. Before operation, the solenoid valve 2 is closed and the air chamber 1 is filled with nitrogen. During operation, the operator remotely presses the switch of the solenoid valve 2, opening the channel. The high-pressure nitrogen accelerates the projectile in the launch tube 4, impacting the carbon fiber rotor of the rotating machine, damaging the rotor's working state and causing it to fail. Finally, the rotation angle of the rotating machine is measured and the strength of the carbon fiber rotor is calculated.
