[0002] The axial-flow rotating machinery is a mechanical device for realizing functions through rotation of a rotor, and common examples include an aero-engine, a heavy-duty gas turbine and a compressor. The rotor, as a core component of the rotating machinery, is generally composed of a main shaft, a disk, a blade, a bolt and the like, has a complex structure and variable loads, and is a main source of faults of the rotating machinery. The rotor fault is often related to alternating stress borne by the rotor, and the rotor fault usually needs to be repaired after shutdown, which causes economic losses in varying degrees. Therefore, the strength analysis of the rotor of the rotating machinery has very important practical significance.

[0003] The traditional strength analysis program of the rotor of the axial-flow rotating machinery is complex, emphasizes accuracy of analysis data, and needs multiple means to verify each other. Even the numerical calculation method with high efficiency needs to consume a large amount of time to establish an entity model and a grid corresponding to the entity model to restore the complex geometric structure of the rotor of the rotating machinery. The more features are restored, the greater the grid encryption is, and the more the calculation time is consumed. The longer the strength analysis cycle is, the greater the economic loss caused by the rotor fault is. SUMMARY

[0010] Preferably, in S1, the specific process of establishing the rotor entity model is: for the components in the fault area, the geometric features and the contact surfaces between adjacent geometric structures are retained; for the non-fault components, the contact surfaces between the components are ignored and the components are regarded as a continuous body; the continuous body and the individual entities of the fault area are combined into a complete rotor entity model according to the assembly relationship.

[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings:

[0031] As Figure 1As shown, the application of the quick strength analysis method for the rotor of the axial flow rotary machine described in the application comprises the following processes:

[0032] Step 1, a large number of blades are arranged on the wheel disc of the axial flow rotary machine, such as compressor blades, turbine blades, etc., usually in order to prevent resonance, the number of these blades cannot be divided by the number of the geometric features of the wheel disc, for the geometric structure of the outer edge of the wheel disc, the mass concentration method is adopted to equivalently integrate the mass of the wheel disc to the blades, to provide conditions for the subsequent calculation of the sector domain and to improve the calculation speed.

[0033] Step 2, for non-fault components, such as wheel discs, pull rod bolts, nuts and other components away from the fault area, the combined entity modeling can be carried out, that is, the contact surfaces between these components are ignored and they are regarded as a continuum; for the components in the fault area, the detailed geometric features and the contact surfaces between the adjacent geometric structures are retained to accurately simulate the influence of the load on the stress distribution and deformation of the contact surface; in this way, the accuracy and the required time of the deformation, stress field and other calculations can be better balanced, and the calculation resources can also be saved. The simplified continuous component entity and the separate entity components in the fault area are combined into a complete rotor entity model according to the assembly relationship.

[0034] Step 3, since the wheel disc of the rotary machine often has n geometric features that need to be retained, n is generally 4-20, when the strength of the rotary machine rotor is analyzed, one or a group of them can be retained and taken as the center to cut the 360° / n range of the sector calculation domain from the rotor entity model obtained in step 2, and the periodic boundary conditions are set on the two circumferential sides of the calculation domain, this method can maximize the saving of calculation time and improve the analysis efficiency on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the calculation.

[0035] Arrangement 4, the structured grid is made according to the geometric parameters of the sector calculation domain obtained in step 3 to establish the finite element model, the components with detailed restored geometric features in the fault area are appropriately encrypted, and the grid size after encryption is 1%-10% of the feature length of the component, and the grid making precision of the continuum model of other parts can be appropriately reduced, the load of the rotor finite element model is applied to obtain the deformation and stress distribution of the key positions such as the bearing surface and the contact surface of the components in the fault area, and the quantitative strength analysis is carried out accordingly.

[0036] The following examples are the specific strength analysis processes of the rotor of the axial flow rotary machine using the above method:

[0037] Step 1: The axial-flow rotating mechanical disk has a large number of blades, such as the compressor and turbine blades in the embodiment. The number of these blades cannot be divided by the number of bolt holes on the disk. In order to establish the subsequent sector-shaped calculation domain, the mass of these blades is concentrated and the mass of the whole is equivalent to the disk on which the blades are located.

[0038] Step 2, for non-faulty components, such as Figure 2 The non-fault-level rotor shown can be modeled as a single solid, ignoring the contact surfaces between its components and treating it as a continuum. For components in the fault region, such as the tie rod bolts in the embodiment, detailed geometric features and contact surfaces with adjacent geometries are retained. This approach better balances the accuracy and time required for calculations of deformation and stress fields, and also helps save computational resources. The simplified spindle solid and the tie rod bolt solid components in the fault region are combined according to their assembly relationships to form a complete rotor solid model.

[0039] Step 3: Since the rotor of rotating machinery often has n geometric features that need to be retained (12 tie rod bolt holes in this example), these structures exhibit sector symmetry with respect to the axis. When performing strength analysis on the rotor of the rotating machinery, other identical bolt holes can be omitted, retaining only one and using it as the center to circumferentially cut 360° / n from the rotor solid model obtained in Step 2. In this example, this is a sector-shaped computational domain within a range of 30°. Figure 3 As shown, periodic boundary conditions are set on the two circumferential sides of the computational domain to improve the efficiency of rotor strength analysis.

[0040] Arrangement 4: Based on the geometric parameters of the sector computational domain obtained in step 3, create a structured mesh to establish the finite element model, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the geometric features of the fault area are restored in detail and the mesh is appropriately densified. The mesh production accuracy of other parts can be reduced. The rotor finite element model is subjected to loads that conform to the actual working conditions to obtain the deformation and stress distribution of key positions such as the bearing surface and contact surface of the fault area component. Based on this, quantitative strength analysis is carried out.
