Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of engine testing, and in particular relates to a sensing part thermal vibration combined loading testing machine. Background Art

[0002] A testing machine is an instrument used to verify the quality or performance of a material or product before it is put into use. It primarily tests the physical properties of the material or product. While it directly provides specific environmental and loading conditions, it indirectly supports continuous product innovation, improvement, optimization, and perfection. Broadly speaking, any instrument or device that verifies quality or performance can be called a testing machine.

[0003] As industrial thermal machinery subject to high temperatures, high pressures, and high speeds, aircraft engines and gas turbines are subject to the influence of various harsh factors on their components and accessories. Therefore, before use, key components and accessories must be thoroughly inspected for quality and performance. Blades, a key engine component, have attracted numerous reports on research related to blade testing machines. For example, Chinese invention patents with application numbers 201310073338.5 and 201310121074.6 propose non-contact vibration testing and room-temperature vibration fatigue testing of blades. Chinese patents with application numbers 201610066802.1, 201810223573.9, 201821864222.8, and 201910263228.2 have also proposed devices and methods for high-temperature vibration testing of blades. These patents, each with its own unique characteristics, demonstrate a trend of continuous improvement. In addition to the aforementioned patent research, Zhang Dongming, Liu Enjie, and others have also published an academic research paper titled "A New Method for High-Temperature Vibration Fatigue Testing of Aircraft Engine Turbine Blades." This demonstrates the close relationship between key engine components and the two factors influencing them, high temperature and vibration, inherent to the engine itself. However, there are currently relatively few reports on testing equipment and devices for key engine components other than blades.

[0004] Most engine test sensing parts are inserted directly into the flow path from outside the engine casing. These sensing parts are constantly subjected to harsh environments such as high temperature and vibration. Their cantilevered operating position is crucial to the safe operation of the engine. Therefore, an auxiliary component like the sensing part, which has a very high impact on engine safety, must undergo product evaluation simulating actual service conditions before a definitive installation decision can be made. Currently, only one Chinese invention patent, application number 201810099010.3, specifically describes a room-temperature vibration fatigue test device for aircraft engine sensing parts, but it can only perform fatigue tests under room temperature conditions. However, the operating temperature of most sensing parts is above 200°C, and some high-temperature sensing parts exceed 800°C. Currently, the operating temperature of the test sensing parts in the turbine position can reach up to 1200°C. Therefore, fatigue test results under room temperature conditions cannot represent the actual service environment of the sensing part. Chinese invention patent application number 201310105402.3 provides an aircraft engine compressor blade fatigue cycle test device that includes a high-frequency vibration loading component to simulate the high-frequency loads experienced by aircraft engine compressor blades during operation. Patent application number 201810188344.8, while providing a high-temperature vibration fatigue test solution, tests on specially prepared material specimens and cannot be performed directly on the affected part. Patent number 201820163860.0, while proposing a comprehensive multifunctional testing machine, lacks detailed description and is not practical. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a combined thermal vibration and loading testing machine suitable for testing affected parts. Summary of the Invention

Based on the implementation in this application, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The implementation of this application is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0033] This application provides a sensing part thermal vibration combined loading testing machine, which is specifically designed to meet the needs of high-temperature vibration fatigue testing and high-temperature vibration environment testing of long rod-shaped sensing parts: multi-axial thermal vibration combined loading of the sensing part, cantilever clamping and fixing during the test, and a maximum working end test temperature of 1200°C. At the same time, the testing machine can also prevent the tail of the sensing part from being damaged by overburning and complete real-time monitoring of the working status of the temperature measuring point.

[0034] A vibration control and temperature acquisition system 1, comprising a vibration table 1-1;

[0035] A test fixture 2, fixed on the vibration table 1-1;

[0036] The displacement mechanism 4 includes a main frame 4-1 located on both sides of the vibration table 1-1. The main frame 4-1 is provided with a crossbeam above the vibration table 1-1. The crossbeam is provided with a lifting mechanism 4-2 that moves up and down. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 4-2 is provided with a rotating mechanism 4-3. The rotating mechanism 4-3 can be driven to rotate around a rotating shaft fixed to the bottom end of the lifting mechanism 4-2;

[0037] A heating system 3 is fixed on the rotating mechanism 4-3, and the heating system comprises a cylinder, wherein the cylinder comprises a heating chamber 3-1 coaxial with the cylinder;

[0038] One end of the sensing portion 8 is clamped on the test fixture 2, and the other end extends into the heating chamber 3-1.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the bottom end of the main frame 4-1 is provided with universal wheels that can be moved and locked.

[0040] The heating system 3 of the present application is fixed on the rotating mechanism 4-3, and the base of the main frame 4-1 can be freely moved and locked.

[0045] In some optional implementations, the laser displacement sensor 6 is a blue light laser displacement sensor.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the laser displacement sensor 6 is fixed to the rotating mechanism 4-3, facing the working end of the sensing portion 8 through the incident hole 3-2. The vibration sensor 7 is fixed to the specimen fixture 2, close to the sensing portion 8. The sensing portion 8 is clamped in the same manner as it is fixed to the engine, keeping the working end of the sensing portion 8 within the heating chamber 3-1 to simulate a real-world service environment and subject the sensing portion 8 to thermal vibration loading. The laser displacement sensor 6 monitors the amplitude and frequency of the working end, and the vibration sensor 7 is used to adjust the actual excitation input of the vibration table 1-1 to the sensing portion 8.
