Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to gas bearing technology, and in particular to a method, device and electronic equipment for predicting the bearing capacity of a high-speed static pressure gas bearing. Background Art

[0002] In the development of turbine expansion machinery, it is very important to solve the lubrication problem of high-speed bearings. The lubricating medium of liquid-lubricated bearings is very low in compressibility and can produce great load-bearing capacity and rigidity. Therefore, liquid-lubricated bearings have been widely used in industrial production for a long time. However, the lubricating medium of liquid-lubricated bearings has a very high viscosity, which will generate large friction power consumption and heat at high speeds, making them unsuitable for high-speed applications. Gas bearings use gases as lubricating media with low viscosity, small temperature changes, clean and pollution-free, radiation-resistant, and good compressibility. These many characteristics of gas give bearings the advantages of low power consumption, long life, and high precision. They have absolute application advantages in the fields of high-speed bearings, low-friction and low-power bearings, high-precision bearings, and bearings under special working conditions.

[0003] According to the mechanism of gas film generation, gas bearings can be divided into static pressure gas bearings, dynamic pressure gas bearings, dynamic and static mixed pressure gas bearings and gas pressure film bearings. Among them, small hole throttling static pressure gas bearings are the most studied and applied.

[0004] However, most current research on gas bearings focuses on low-speed hydrostatic gas bearings. Existing technologies for calculating the load capacity of small-bore throttle hydrostatic gas bearings primarily employ finite element and finite difference methods. These methods calculate the load capacity by varying a single bearing parameter, replacing the exact solution with an approximate solution. While these methods can yield load capacity, they involve significant repetitive work, particularly as previously analyzed bearing load capacity data cannot be utilized, consuming significant manpower and resources.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0048] The following describes the specific implementation of the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments:

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of the method for predicting the load-bearing capacity of a high-speed static-pressure gas bearing, as shown in Example 1. The method for predicting the load-bearing capacity of a high-speed static-pressure gas bearing, as shown in Example 1, is applicable to electronic devices, wherein a processor is provided in the electronic device to predict the load-bearing capacity under target bearing parameters. For ease of illustration, only the portions relevant to this embodiment of the present invention are shown, and the details are as follows:

[0051] Step S110, establishing a dimensionless Reynolds equation for a high-speed static pressure gas bearing;

[0052] Step S120, discretizing the dimensionless Reynolds equation to obtain a fully implicit difference equation;

[0053] Step S130, setting the iterative initial load capacity and deflection angle, using different bearing parameters to iteratively calculate the fully implicit difference equation, and obtaining a relationship diagram between the bearing parameters and the load capacity;

[0054] Step S140: predicting the bearing capacity under the target bearing parameters according to the relationship diagram.

[0055] In high-speed static pressure gas bearings, the working gas can be hydrogen, air or helium.

[0056] Combining the theory of fluid dynamic lubrication, the Reynolds equation for high-speed hydrostatic gas bearings is established. The dimensionless Reynolds equation is obtained by non-dimensionalizing the Reynolds equation. The dimensionless Reynolds equation is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Where θ and λ are the dimensionless coordinates along the circumferential and axial directions of the bearing, respectively; H is the dimensionless gas film thickness; P is the dimensionless gas film pressure; T is the dimensionless time; Λ is called the bearing number or compressibility coefficient; Q is the dimensionless gas mass flow factor introduced by the throttle hole; δk is the introduced Kronecker symbol, δk = 1 at the throttle hole and δk = 0 at the non-throttle hole.

[0059] The Reynolds equation is the core theory of fluid dynamic lubrication. It is obtained based on the continuity equation and the NS equation by making the following assumptions:

[0060] (1) Ignore the effects of body forces, mainly including gravity, magnetic force, etc.;

[0061] (2) No-slip boundary condition of the solid wall—that is, the fluid does not slip on the solid interface;

[0062] (3) Since the thickness of the air film is very small, the air film pressure does not change in the direction of the air film thickness, that is,

[0063] (4) Since the thickness of the air film gap is very small compared to the curvature radius of the rotor surface, the influence of the rotor curvature radius on the shape and velocity direction of the fluid film can be ignored, so the circumference of the shaft and the inner wall of the bearing sleeve can be imagined as an unfolded plane.

[0064] (5) The flow is laminar;

[0065] (6) Compared with friction, inertial force can be neglected;

[0066] (7) The viscosity and density of air remain unchanged in the direction of the air film thickness.

[0067] By making the Reynolds equation dimensionless, the accuracy of calculation can be improved and the application can be facilitated.

[0068] Because the dimensionless Reynolds equation is a second-order partial differential equation, it is necessary to discretize the dimensionless Reynolds equation to obtain a nonlinear equation, and then linearize the nonlinear equation through the Newton-Raphson method to obtain a fully implicit difference equation, so as to replace the analytical solution with a numerical solution.

[0069] The finite difference method can be used to discretize the dimensionless Reynolds equation. The finite difference method is a numerical solution method. Its basic idea is to first mesh the domain of the problem, and then, at the mesh nodes, use appropriate numerical differentiation formulas to replace the differential quotients in the well-defined problem with difference quotients, thereby discretizing the original problem into a difference format and then obtaining a numerical solution.

[0070] In order to obtain the bearing capacity, it is necessary to know the pressure distribution and deflection angle. The solution is to iterate the fully implicit difference equation. The corresponding pressure and deflection angle when the iteration converges are the required values. The conditions for iterative convergence when calculating the pressure distribution are as follows:

[0071]

[0072] When calculating the convergence of the deflection angle θ0, given that the direction of the external load is vertically downward, the resultant force should be consistent with the direction of the external load, and the load angle The calculation can take α0<10 -3 (radians) as the convergence criterion. Follow the steps below to find the deflection angle using Newton's method:

[0073] Any Find the resultant force F x , F y and load angle

[0074] Might as well take Same calculation

[0075] For the iterative process The selection is based on the following Newton iteration formula:

[0076]

[0077] Finally, the finite difference format of the dimensionless Reynolds equation is iterated and the corresponding pressure at convergence is the required pressure. The solution of the bearing capacity is obtained by integrating the pressure, as follows:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] From the above, it can be seen that by setting the iterative initial load capacity and deflection angle, the fully implicit difference equation is iteratively calculated using different bearing parameters to obtain the relationship diagram between the bearing parameters and the load capacity. Based on the relationship diagram, the load capacity under the target bearing parameters is predicted.

[0082] Specifically, bearing parameters include shaft diameter, bearing clearance, small hole diameter, and eccentricity. When analyzing the relationship between load capacity and bearing parameters, the initial load capacity and deflection angle are pre-set. Then, the shaft diameter, bearing clearance, small hole diameter, and eccentricity are varied. The load capacity is calculated for different values ​​of these bearing parameters, thereby obtaining the relationship between the load capacity and the bearing parameters.

[0083] For example, taking the rotation speed of 100,000 rpm and 120,000 rpm as an example, changing the shaft diameter from 16mm to 45mm, the corresponding relationship between the shaft diameter and the load-bearing capacity at different speeds is obtained as follows: Figure 2 .

[0084] For example, taking the speed of 100,000 rpm and 120,000 rpm as an example, changing the bearing clearance from 0.02mm to 0.05mm, the corresponding relationship between the bearing clearance and the load-bearing capacity at different speeds is obtained as follows: Figure 3 .

[0085] For example, taking the rotation speed of 100,000 rpm and 120,000 rpm as an example, changing the small hole diameter from 0.25mm to 0.4mm, the corresponding relationship between the small hole diameter and the bearing capacity at different rotation speeds is obtained as follows: Figure 4 .

[0086] For example, taking the rotation speed of 100,000 rpm and 120,000 rpm as an example, changing the eccentricity from 0.2 to 0.35, the corresponding relationship between the eccentricity and the bearing capacity at different rotation speeds is obtained as follows: Figure 5 .

[0087] Taking the speed of 100,000 rpm, 120,000 rpm and 140,000 rpm as an example, the different bearing parameters are combined into one air supply parameter. The air supply parameter is shown in the following formula. The air supply pressure and the number of holes remain unchanged, the small hole diameter is changed from 0.25mm to 0.4mm, and the bearing clearance is changed from 0.02mm to 0.05mm. Figure 6 This is a diagram showing the relationship between the load-bearing capacity and the air supply parameters at different speeds.

[0088]

[0089] Where n is the number of air supply holes on a circumference, d is the diameter of the small hole or air supply hole, μ is the gas viscosity, Ps is the air supply pressure, Cr is the radial clearance of the bearing, is the gas constant, T0 is the gas supply temperature, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0090] Optionally, after obtaining the relationship diagram between bearing parameters and load-bearing capacity, the bearing parameters corresponding to the maximum load-bearing capacity are predicted according to the relationship diagram as the optimal bearing parameters, and then the bearing parameters used for bearing design are selected from the optimal bearing parameters, thereby optimizing the bearing parameters to obtain the maximum load-bearing capacity, greatly improving the load-bearing performance of the gas bearing.

[0096] The prediction module 4 is used to predict the bearing capacity under the target bearing parameters according to the relationship diagram.
