Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a liquid hydrogen temperature zone moving part friction force test system and method, and belongs to the field of liquid hydrogen temperature zone tests. BACKGROUND

[0002] The valve guide matching pair is a gap matching, and the existence of the guide gap causes a small angle deflection of the valve core during action and return. With the change of the guide gap, the deflection angle of the valve core also changes, and the generated friction force affects the action and return of the valve core. Under the action of the spring force and the air pressure, the lateral force is generated at the interface of the guide matching pair after the deflection of the valve core. The change rule of the friction force of the guide matching pair under the action of the lateral force is difficult to obtain, and therefore the size of the guide gap and the size of the lateral force of the matching pair become the key parameters restricting the performance of the guide matching pair.

[0003] The force-heat characteristics of materials under the liquid hydrogen temperature zone are significantly different from those under the normal temperature condition, which makes the friction characteristics of the guide matching pair matched by different materials under the deep low temperature condition also significantly different from those under the normal temperature condition. Therefore, for the deep low temperature valve, the material matching form and the working temperature also become the key parameters restricting the friction and wear performance of the guide matching pair.

[0004] In summary, it is necessary to construct a liquid hydrogen temperature zone moving part friction force test system to carry out research on different guide matching pair structure forms and material matching, different guide gaps and lateral forces and deep low temperature use conditions.

The vacuum heat insulation layer is located outside the low-temperature cavity 10 for heat preservation.

[0034] The main working principle of the friction test device is that the valve core 6 is connected with the center connecting rod 12 of the testing machine, the force sensor 5 is installed at the top of the center connecting rod, and the friction force borne by the valve core can be directly measured. The sleeve 7 and the support 8 are connected with the motion crossbeam of the testing machine through four bearing rods 13, and uniform speed reciprocating motion is realized during the experiment. The lateral force during the motion of the sleeve is stably applied through the steel wire rope and the gravity of the weight 11, and different lateral force working conditions can be simulated by replacing the weight. The gap between the valve core and the sleeve and the material can be replaced according to the research object. The valve core, the sleeve and the support are placed in the low-temperature cavity of the low-temperature test system, and the cavity is filled with 0.02 MPa helium gas during the experiment. The dynamic seal between the low-temperature cavity 10 and the center connecting rod is realized through the sealing ring 14. The heat conduction column 9 connects the low-temperature cavity and the sleeve 7, realizes the rapid conduction of cold energy to the valve core and the sleeve, and accelerates the cooling speed.

The measured result in the subsequent test is subtracted from the initial friction force of the dynamic seal to obtain the real friction force between the valve core and the sleeve.

[0037] 2) Determine the structure form and material matching of the matching pair for this test, install the valve core and the sleeve. The valve core is connected with the center connecting rod, and the sleeve is connected with the support. The weight is connected with the sleeve through the steel wire rope, and the lateral force is set by adding the weight. At this time, the cavity of the valve core is inflated with helium, vacuumized and replaced multiple times, and finally the helium pressure in the cavity is 0.02 MPa. Perform operations in the control computer software, realize the uniform speed reciprocating motion of the valve core through the material testing machine, and measure the friction force under the normal temperature condition.

[0038] 3) The vacuum insulation layer in the test system is vacuumized to reach 1×10 -4 Pa. At this time, the test system is cooled, the temperature control instrument, the temperature acquisition system and the G-M refrigerator are opened, and the test can be carried out after the temperature reaches 20K.

[0039] 4) Measure the friction force of the valve core under the reciprocating motion condition under the liquid hydrogen temperature zone environment. After the test is finished, the refrigerator is closed, and after the system is warmed up, different test conditions can be replaced, and the test can be continued.
