Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aerospace, and particularly relates to an in-situ printing device and method for testing the vibration reduction performance of an aviation component. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of social economy and the progress of modern industrial technology, the research on vibration and noise control technology has attracted more and more attention from experts and scholars. Vibration is one of the phenomena that occur frequently in nature, and in the fields of aerospace, ship engineering, automobile industry, medical instruments and military equipment, the influence of vibration is conducive to the production and manufacture of people, the medical application. For example, the mechanical industry uses vibration for cutting processing, and the vibration drying machine and other vibration machines bring great changes to the development of engineering projects. The influence of vibration also has certain negative effects. For example, vibration and noise will directly affect people's physical and mental health and daily life; in the mechanical field, vibration will cause serious fatigue damage to mechanical equipment and reduce the service life of parts.

[0003] Taking an aero-engine as an example, vibration is an important monitoring parameter of the aero-engine, and various vibration problems need to be solved when the engine is tested. The engine vibration is particularly important because the vibration directly affects the normal work and service life of the engine, and if the engine vibration is abnormal and not checked and eliminated in time, it may cause serious consequences. The vibration failure of the aero-engine has complexity and randomness, and the causes of the engine vibration failure are various, and the vibration failure phenomena are different. The traditional vibration reduction parts of the aero-engine are difficult to adapt to the complex curved surface of the aero-component shape, and can only re-design the assembly relationship of the vibration reduction parts on the aero-component shape structure and reserve the vibration reduction part assembly position, and it is helpless for the parts with dead space in the structure design. However, the aero-component that can provide a reserved position may not be the vibration source point or far away from the vibration source point, so that the vibration reduction effect cannot achieve the expected vibration reduction effect. On the other hand, the selection of vibration reduction materials and the structure design of vibration reduction parts are also very important. The traditional vibration reduction material directly selects an alloy material to make a vibration reduction block to fix the vibration part to reduce the vibration, and such vibration reduction block is thick and has poor shape adaptation ability, and in the design of the vibration reduction structure, a solid structure produced by a traditional processing technology or a spring vibration reduction is mostly selected. For some topologically optimized structures, the selection of processing technology is too high or even cannot be realized. SUMMARY

[0034] The specific content of the present application is further described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0035] In Figure 1The in-situ 3D printing six-axis mechanical arm in the in-situ 3D printing system contacts the aviation component as a vibration measurement point as a first step in actual work Figure 2 The vibration measurement probe in the in-situ 3D printing system contacts the aviation component as a vibration measurement point as a first step in actual work Figure 2 The in-situ printing device of the mechanical arm constructs a printing coordinate system of the vibration source measurement point according to the surface shape of the aviation component, and transmits the position information of the vibration source measurement point to the data receiving end of the mechanical arm and enters the next printing work.
