TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aviation gas turbine engine lubrication system, and particularly relates to a bearing cavity temperature measurement lead structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The aviation gas turbine engine lubrication system is an important component of the aviation gas turbine engine, and mainly undertakes the lubrication work of the high and low pressure rotor fulcrum bearings, transmission gears and other components of the engine. The inner ring of the rolling bearing between the rotating shafts is supported on the high rear shaft neck, and the outer ring is supported on the low pressure turbine shaft. The main function is to support the relative motion of the high and low pressure turbine rotors, and to ensure the stable work of the high and low pressure turbine rotors of the aviation engine. Since the bearing is in a high temperature environment (the bearing cavity temperature can reach 200℃), the speed is high (the DN value is as high as 3X10 6 , the bearing roller speed reaches more than 200000 rpm), the design of the structure at this place will directly affect the safety of the aviation gas turbine engine. At present, the rolling bearing between the rotating shafts of a certain type of engine has occurred many times. The failure seriously affects the development progress of the type. In order to reduce the risk of bearing damage, it is urgent to measure the temperature at the bearing.
[0003] In order to ensure the reliable work and long service life of the bearing, the bearing must be fully cooled and lubricated, and the temperature distribution of the main bearing of the engine must be measured and analyzed to evaluate the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearing. At present, there are few ways to evaluate the cooling and lubrication effect of the bearing. The test equipment, measurement environment and test space conditions are limited. The main parameters monitored by the oil system include oil supply temperature, pressure, and oil return temperature and pressure of each cavity. The trend of oil return temperature is used to determine whether the heat generation of each cavity is normal, but it cannot directly determine whether the bearing is fully cooled and lubricated. During the operation of the engine, the inner and outer rings of the rolling bearing between the rotating shafts are in a high speed rotating state. The temperature of the inner ring of the bearing cannot be measured by the conventional contact lead method, and a non-direct lead measurement method must be used for measurement, so as to further analyze the temperature distribution of the rolling bearing between the rotating shafts of the engine, and to ensure the safe and reliable work of the bearing.
[0004] There are many non-direct lead temperature measurement schemes at present, including non-contact temperature measurement such as infrared temperature measurement and optical fiber temperature measurement, and wireless transmission temperature measurement scheme. At present, the infrared and optical fiber temperature measurement are limited by the size of the measurement equipment, and cannot be applied to the temperature measurement of the inner ring of the rolling bearing between the rotating shafts. The wireless transmission temperature measurement cannot effectively transmit the measured signal in the bearing cavity to the outside of the engine, and cannot complete the measurement. Therefore, a new structure scheme needs to be designed to stably measure the temperature of the inner ring of the rotor bearing. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described in more detail below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the application.
[0022] A bearing cavity temperature measurement lead structure, as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, including high pressure turbine shaft 1, low pressure turbine shaft 2, cylindrical roller bearing 3, grid ring 4. The bearing inner ring of the cylindrical roller bearing 3 is connected with the high pressure turbine shaft 1, and the bearing outer ring is connected with the low pressure turbine shaft 2; the grid ring 4 is arranged between the high pressure turbine shaft 1 and the low pressure turbine shaft 2 and abuts against the high pressure turbine shaft 1, and plays a closing role between the high pressure turbine shaft 1 and the low pressure turbine shaft 2; the grid ring 4 is arranged at the inlet of the core machine, and one side of the grid ring 4 abuts against the bearing inner ring of the cylindrical roller bearing 3.
[0023] Through the analysis of the structure, it can be known that, since the grid ring 4 is close to the cylindrical roller bearing 3, and the grid ring 4 and the high pressure turbine shaft 1 can form a relatively closed structure, and the grid ring 4 can rotate synchronously with the high pressure turbine shaft 1, close to the outside of the core machine, therefore, the temperature measuring structure arranged in the grid ring 4 can effectively meet the temperature measuring demand.
[0024] Specifically, the inner ring surface of the grid ring 4 is provided with a containing cavity 5, the containing cavity 5 is provided with a shell connected with the grid ring 4, and the shell is provided with a measuring chip 6; the grid ring 4 is provided with a lead hole 7, the measuring chip 6 is provided with a temperature measuring lead 8, the temperature measuring lead 8 is led out from the lead hole 7 and led into a measuring point, and a temperature sensor is arranged at the end of the temperature measuring lead 8 away from the measuring chip 6, and the temperature sensor is arranged on the measuring point; the measuring chip is provided with a battery.
[0025] When measuring, the temperature of the measuring point is detected by the temperature sensor, the detected signal is transmitted to the measuring chip 6 inside the grid ring 4 through the temperature measuring lead 8, and the measuring chip 6 rotates synchronously with the high pressure turbine shaft 1 under the limiting of the shell, so that the signal of the temperature measuring lead 8 can be stably received and processed and stored, and after the measurement is completed, the measuring chip is disassembled, the temperature data is read through special software, and since the temperature in the grid ring 4 is low, the measuring chip can work stably and accurately measure the temperature of the measuring point. The temperature change of the inner ring of the roller bearing between the rotating shafts under different rotating speeds is measured in the harsh environment of the narrow space of the engine, oil and gas mixing, high temperature and high centrifugal force. It provides valuable data support for optimizing the bearing structure design and improving the bearing reliability.
[0026] Preferably, the temperature measuring lead 8 has four groups, and two temperature measuring leads 8 are led into the grid ring 4 to form a first measuring point 9 and a second measuring point 10; one is led into the side wall surface of the bearing inner ring to form a third measuring point 11; and one is led into the inner surface of the bearing inner ring to form a fourth measuring point 12. By arranging four temperature measuring leads 8, the temperatures of the grid ring 4, the inner surface and the side wall surface of the bearing inner ring of the cylindrical roller bearing 3 can be accurately measured. At the same time, since the second measuring point 10, the third measuring point 11 and the fourth measuring point 12 cannot be directly measured by the lead, the joint can be processed near the contact surface between the grid ring 4 and the bearing inner ring.
[0027] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, preferably, a ring groove of 18.6mmX10mm is formed at the accommodating cavity 5, the shell comprises an upper shell 13 connected with the gill ring 4 and a lower shell 14 connected with the high-pressure turbine shaft 1, the outer wall surface of the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 is a circular arc surface coaxially arranged with the gill ring 4, a closed inner cavity is arranged between the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14, the temperature measuring chip is arranged in the inner cavity, the upper shell 13, the lower shell 14 and the gill ring 4 are provided with lead hole 7 for leading out the temperature measuring lead 8, the lead hole 7 on the gill ring 4 is arranged at the corner corresponding to the lower shell 14.
[0028] The temperature measuring chip is clamped between the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 to realize stable fixation of the temperature measuring chip, the length of the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 is 18mm to facilitate installation, the lead hole 7 is arranged to stably lead out the temperature measuring lead 8 and play a certain guiding and fixing role for the temperature measuring lead 8.
[0029] Preferably, a cylindrical inner hole is arranged on the inner wall surface of the gill ring 4 along the radial direction of the main shaft, a cylindrical mounting seat 15 is arranged on the upper shell 13 along the radial direction of the main shaft, and the mounting seat 15 is inserted into the inner hole. Through the cooperation of the mounting seat 15 and the inner hole, the upper shell 13 and the gill ring 4 are stably fixed.
[0030] Preferably, a clamping ring is arranged coaxially in the inner hole, an annular clamping groove 16 capable of clamping the clamping ring is arranged on the mounting seat 15, and the gill ring 4 and the upper shell 13 are further fixed through the arrangement of the clamping ring and the annular clamping groove 16.
[0031] Preferably, a boss 17 abutting against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 5 is arranged on the two side wall surfaces of the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14, and a limiting groove 18 cooperating with the high-pressure turbine shaft 1 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the lower shell 14. Because the temperature of the gill ring 4 is relatively high, the arrangement of the boss 17 can avoid the side surface of the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 from contacting the side surface of the gill ring 4, preventing the temperature measuring chip in the shell from being burned out due to too high temperature, and the arrangement of the limiting groove 18 can stably position and clamp the lower shell 14 and the high-pressure turbine shaft 1.
[0032] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
