AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the fan booster stage drum of an aero-engine rotates at high speed, it is prone to elliptic deformation, which leads to uneven radial clearance between the fan blades and the casing, causing uneven wear and vibration of the casing, and affecting engine performance.

Method used

By constructing a planar coordinate system, the influence of the mass of the counterweight and locking block on the ellipticization of the drum is calculated. The ellipticization deformation is corrected by configuring the counterweight in a specific direction. In particular, when Δy > Δx, the counterweight is symmetrically configured on the tenon at the root of the fan blade to reduce the deformation trend.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the elliptic deformation of the drum, maintains a uniform gap between the fan blades and the casing, prevents uneven wear and vibration, and improves the performance of the aero engine.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of fan pressure stage drum ovalization correction of an aero-engine, and particularly relates to a fan pressure stage drum ovalization counterweight correction method of an aero-engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fan pressure stage drum 1 of the aero-engine is connected to a fan wheel disc 2, and an annular dovetail groove is formed on the fan pressure stage drum 1. The annular dovetail groove has a notch, and the two sides of the notch have locking grooves. The tenon of the root of the fan blade 3 is sequentially slid into the dovetail groove through the notch, and is locked by using the locking block 4 arranged in the locking groove, so that the installation on the fan pressure stage drum 1 is achieved. In order to correct the unbalance of the fan blade 3, a counterweight 5 is arranged at the root of part of the fan blade 3, as shown in Figures 1-3

[0003] The fan pressure stage drum 1 is a thin-walled structure, and has weak anti-deformation ability, especially the notch and the locking groove part, which has weak rigidity and is prone to deformation. The fan pressure stage drum 1 is affected by the centrifugal force of the mass eccentricity of the locking block and the counterweight, and is prone to ovalization deformation when the aero-engine rotates at high speed. The ovalization deformation causes the radial clearance between the fan blade 3 and the casing to be uneven, and further causes the eccentric wear vibration of the casing, thereby causing the performance of the aero-engine to decrease.

[0004] The present application is proposed in view of the existence of the above technical defects.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] A method for correcting the ellipticized counterweight of the fan booster stage drum in an aero-engine includes:

[0037] A planar coordinate system is constructed with the center of the aero-engine as the origin, the aero-engine axis as the X-axis, and the vertical direction as the Y-axis.

[0038] Place the center of the booster stage drum at the origin of the plane coordinate system, so that its notch is located on the Y-axis, and the locking groove and its locking block are close to the Y-axis. It can be further assumed that the locking block is located on the Y-axis.

[0039] In a two-dimensional coordinate system, the effects of the mass of the counterweight and locking block on the ellipticization of the booster stage drum in the X-axis and Y-axis directions are calculated as follows:

[0040] Δx = ncosθ;

[0041] Δy = 2m + nsinθ;

[0042] in,

[0043] Δx represents the effect of the mass of the counterweight and locking block on the ellipticization of the booster stage drum in the X-axis direction;

[0044] Δy represents the influence of the mass of the counterweight and locking block on the ellipticization of the booster stage drum in the Y-axis direction;

[0045] n is the mass of the counterweight;

[0046] θ is the angle between the counterweight and the X-axis;

[0047] When Δy=Δx, it can be considered that the elliptic deformation trend of the booster stage drum is small. Due to the influence of the notch, the combined eccentricity of the counterweight and locking block mass mainly occurs in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis direction is the major axis direction of the elliptic, but the deformation is limited and no correction is required.

[0048] When Δy < Δx, the combined eccentricity of the counterweight and locking block mass mainly occurs in the X-axis direction. The X-axis direction is the major axis direction of the ellipse, but the stiffness in the X-axis direction is high and the deformation is limited, so no correction is required.

[0049] When Δy > Δx, the booster drum will be deformed in the direction of the long axis of the Y-axis, and will have a larger deformation, which needs to be corrected. Specifically, a counterweight can be arranged on the tenon at the root of the fan blade on the X-axis, that is, a counterweight can be arranged on the tenon at the root of the fan blade in the direction of the short axis of the oval deformation. The mass eccentricity of the counterweight is used to correct and reduce the oval deformation trend of the booster drum. In order to avoid the imbalance brought by the counterweight to the aero-engine, a positive counterweight mass is designed The two tenons at the roots of the fan blades on the X-axis are symmetrically arranged.

[0050] The embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts of each embodiment can be referred to each other.

[0051] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without deviating from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features. The technical solutions after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
