[0031] Additionally, in the following description, specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the aspects described can be practiced without these specific details.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides an elastic foil aerodynamic thrust bearing performance testing bench.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an elastic foil aerodynamic thrust bearing performance test bench includes a workbench 11, a driving member 1, a thrust plate 2, a test shaft 5, a radial hydrostatic bearing 4, a foil mounting plate 3, a loading component, an impact simulation component and a measurement component.

[0034] The driving member 1 is fixed on a workbench 11, which is a marble table. The thrust plate 2 is horizontally installed on the output end of the driving member 1; the radial hydrostatic bearing 4 is installed on the base plate 20 of the workbench 11, and the test shaft 5 is installed in the radial hydrostatic bearing 4. Both ends of the test shaft 5 extend out of the radial hydrostatic bearing 4, and the bottom end of the test shaft 5 is connected to the foil mounting plate 3. The test shaft 5 is connected to the impact simulation assembly, the loading assembly is fixed on the test shaft 5, and the measuring assembly is installed on the workbench 11.

[0035] Among them, the thrust plate 2, test shaft 5, radial static pressure bearing 4 and foil mounting plate 3 are coaxially arranged, the loading component provides a variable loading force for the test shaft 5, the impact simulation component controls the test shaft 5 to accelerate toward the thrust plate 2, and the measuring component measures the status of the thrust plate 2 and the foil mounting plate 3.

[0036] The driving element 1 of the present application is a motor, the output shaft of which is connected to the thrust plate 2. When the motor is started, the motor drives the thrust plate 2 to rotate. The present application adopts a method in which the thrust plate 2 moves and the foil is stationary. The motor drives the thrust plate 2, providing a relative speed between the thrust plate 2 and the foil mounting plate 3 of 0 to 90,000 rpm, generating a load-bearing air film between the thrust plate 2 and the foil mounting plate 3. By controlling the speed of the motor, the floating speed can be changed.

[0037] The radial hydrostatic bearing 4 is mounted on the workbench 11 via a mounting bracket 21. This application restricts radial (horizontal, front-to-back) movement and significant tilting by the radial hydrostatic bearing 4. Only vertical movement of the test shaft 5 is permitted. An external air source lubricates the test shaft 5 and the radial hydrostatic bearing 4, reducing friction during vertical movement.

[0038] The measurement assembly of this embodiment of the present application can include a displacement sensor 15, a temperature sensor 16, and a speed sensor 17. These sensors 15, 16, and 17 respectively measure the dynamic and static distances between the thrust plate 2 and the foil mounting plate 3, the air film airflow temperature, and the relative speed. Displacement sensor 15 utilizes an eddy current sensor, a non-contact sensor. Three evenly spaced circumferences of the sensor measure the distance between the end face of the foil mounting plate 3 and the end face of the thrust plate 2, as well as the pitch and tilt angles.

[0039] The measuring assembly also includes a measuring ring 22 , which surrounds the outer circumference of the thrust plate 2 and is fixed to the workbench 11 via a bracket. The upper end surface of the measuring ring 22 is parallel to the upper end surface of the thrust plate 2 , and each sensor is mounted on the measuring ring 22 .

[0040] The loading assembly includes annular weight blocks 6 of various quality specifications. At least one annular weight block 6 is fixedly mounted on the test shaft 5. The annular weight block 6 surrounds the outer periphery of the test shaft 5 above the radial hydrostatic bearing 4. A radially protruding protrusion is provided on the outer periphery of the test shaft 5 above the radial hydrostatic bearing 4. The test shaft 5 is configured as a stepped shaft, which is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. A protrusion is formed at the step. The bottom end face of the annular weight block 6 abuts against the protrusion. The loading assembly also includes a clamping nut 601. The clamping nut 601 is located above the annular weight block 6. The clamping nut 601 is threadedly connected to the test shaft 5 to clamp the annular weight block 6 against the protrusion. The annular weight block 6 is a standard weight for precision machining and measurement and can be converted into standard gravity. Installing different annular weight blocks 6 can change the loading force.

[0041] The impact simulation component causes the test shaft 5 and the foil mounting plate 3 to accelerate toward the thrust plate 2, simulating the impact disturbance of the thrust bearing during operation, thereby detecting the response process of the thrust bearing after the impact disturbance.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the impact simulation assembly includes a control assembly and a cable 7 connected to the top end of the test shaft 5. The other end of the cable 7 extends vertically upward and is connected to the control assembly. The control assembly controls the rise or fall of the test shaft 5 by tightening or loosening the cable 7. When the control assembly tightens or loosens the cable 7, the test shaft 5 begins to fall and descends in a free fall manner.

[0043] The control component includes a gantry bracket 12, multiple guide wheels 81, an electromagnet 10 and a magnet 9. The gantry bracket 12 is fixed on the workbench 11 through the base plate 20. The magnet 9 is connected to the other end of the cable 7. The electromagnet 10 is installed on the outside of the side frame of the gantry bracket 12. Multiple guide wheels 81 are installed parallel to each other on the top frame of the gantry bracket 12. The cable 7 extends vertically upward and then turns through the first guide wheel 81. After passing through other guide wheels 81, it extends to the edge of the top frame of the gantry bracket 12 and then extends downward until the magnet 9 contacts the electromagnet 10. The electromagnet 10 is a disc electromagnet. Three guide wheels 81 are provided. The first guide wheel 81 is provided on the square of the test shaft 5. It should be noted that the "directly above" refers to the first guide wheel so that it can fit the cable 7 extending vertically upward. The second guide wheel 81 is provided on one side of the edge position of the portal bracket 12. One side edge of the second guide wheel 81 protrudes from the portal bracket 12. The third guide wheel 81 is provided between the first guide wheel 81 and the second guide wheel 81. The cable 7 extending vertically upward from the test shaft 5 passes through the first guide wheel 81, the third guide wheel 81 and the second guide wheel 81 in sequence, and then turns downward from the outer edge of the third guide wheel 81.

[0044] When not activated, the disc electromagnet 10 attracts the magnet 9, the cable 7 is tightened, and the test shaft 5 and the foil mounting plate 3 are pulled by the traction cable 7, maintaining a vertical distance from the thrust plate 2. At the moment of activation, the disc electromagnet 10 stops attracting the magnet 9, the cable 7 is relaxed, and the test shaft 5 and the foil mounting plate 3 fall freely, simulating the impact disturbance during the operation of the thrust bearing.

[0045] The control assembly also includes a telescopic rod 8, through which at least one guide wheel 81 is mounted on the gantry support 12. The telescopic rod 8 extends and retracts, driving the guide wheel 81 mounted on the telescopic rod 8 to move vertically. In the embodiment of the present application, the third middle guide wheel 81 is connected to the gantry support 12 via the telescopic rod 8, and the telescopic rod 8 extends and retracts vertically. In other embodiments, the telescopic rod 8 can also be tilted. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 8, the distance between the thrust plate 2 and the foil mounting plate 3 can be adjusted, and the impact velocity of the foil mounting plate 3 can be adjusted to simulate different degrees of collision.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the measurement assembly further includes a torsion bar 18 and a torsion measurement mechanism 19. The torsion measurement mechanism 19 includes a U-shaped turn pin 1904, a connecting rod 1908, an adjustment sleeve 1903, a torque sensor 1901, a fixing bracket 1902, a support bracket 1905, and a counterweight assembly. The support bracket 1905 is fixed to the workbench 11 and is provided with a horizontal through-hole. The connecting rod 1908 is horizontally arranged and passes through the through-hole. The connecting rod 1908 slides in the through-hole along the axial direction of the connecting rod 1908. One end of the connecting rod 1908 is connected to the torque sensor 1901 through the adjustment sleeve 1903. The torque sensor 1901 is mounted on the workbench 11 through the fixing bracket 1902. The other end of the connecting rod 1908 is connected to the counterweight assembly. The U-shaped rotating pin 1904 is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 1908. The axial direction of the U-shaped rotating pin 1904 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting rod 1908. One end of the torsion bar 18 is connected to the side surface of the foil mounting disk 3, and the torsion bar 18 extends along the radial direction of the foil mounting disk 3. The torsion bar 18 is placed in the strip groove of the U-shaped rotating pin 1904.

[0047] The counterweight assembly includes a counterweight rope 1907, a counterweight block 1909, and a guide wheel assembly 1906. The connecting rod 1908 is connected to one end of the counterweight rope 1907. The counterweight rope 1907 extends along the axis of the connecting rod 1908, passes through the guide wheel assembly 1906, and then turns upward and downward. The other end of the counterweight rope 1907 is connected to the counterweight block 1909. The guide wheel assembly 1906 includes a guide wheel directly facing the connecting rod 1908 and a second guide wheel located above the first guide wheel. The second guide wheel is located on the side of the first guide wheel away from the connecting rod 1908. Two sets of torsion bars 18 and torque measurement mechanisms 19 are provided, one on each circumferentially opposite side of the foil mounting disk 3.

[0048] A torsion bar 18 is symmetrically mounted along the radial direction of the foil mounting disk 3 at the edge of the foil mounting disk 3 . The torsion bar 18 is connected to a rotatable U-shaped turning pin 1904 to dynamically and real-time detect the torque applied to the foil mounting disk 3 .

[0049] In one embodiment, when the motor is not started, the disk electromagnet 10 is disconnected from the magnet 9, so that the foil mounting plate 3 contacts the thrust plate 2. At this time, the test shaft 5 is loaded with a gravity F, the bearing foil on the foil mounting plate 3 is compressed, and the displacement sensor 15 measures the compression amount x. The static stiffness of the bearing foil is k = F / x.

[0050] In another embodiment, the adsorption of the magnetic magnet 9 by the disc electromagnet 10 is adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 8 and the distance between the foil mounting plate 3 and the thrust plate 2. After starting the motor, the adsorption of the magnetic magnet 9 by the disc electromagnet 10 is disconnected, and the displacement sensor 15 and the torque sensor 1901 measure the process of the foil mounting plate 3 falling, oscillating to stable floating under the corresponding loaded gravity.

[0051] The above two measurement methods are used to test the static and dynamic performance of elastic foil type aerodynamic thrust bearings.

[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
