Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aero-engine testing and measurement technology. Background Technology

[0002] The aero-engine rotor system is a crucial structural component ensuring the safe and stable operation of the aero-engine. It features a complex support structure, commonly employing an elastic support structure (hereinafter referred to as the elastic support structure). This structure comprehensively adjusts the system's critical speed to ensure safety margins and improve operational stability. The internal rotor and support structures are complex, and their dynamic characteristics are closely related to the dynamic performance and vibration issues of the rotor system and even the entire engine. The dynamic excitation of the aero-engine rotor is complex, including internal shaft excitation loads caused by rotor imbalance, misalignment, and rubbing, as well as external excitations such as impact forces on the support points, impacts during aircraft landing, and maneuvering flight loads.

[0003] Currently, it is impossible to directly obtain vibration data of the rotor structure on a real aero-engine, and real experimental research is limited. At present, various simulation test devices are commonly used to carry out test devices, such as aero-engine dual rotor-support-casing test devices. Most of these test devices do not have the ability to simulate internal and external impact mechanisms, and it is difficult to simulate the complex excitation dynamic characteristics of the engine rotor and support. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an aero-engine rotor simulation test device with internal and external excitation simulation capabilities. Summary of the Invention

The rotary drive system 1, located at one end of the spring-loaded rotor system 2, drives the system to rotate. It employs a variable frequency drive to simulate different speed conditions. The spring-loaded rotor system 2 has a rotor, squirrel cage, web, and casing, similar in structure to an aero-engine, effectively simulating the engine's elastic support and rotor structural characteristics. Combined with rotor excitation simulation devices such as the unbalanced disc and rubbing device, it effectively simulates the periodic excitation generated by the rotor. The support base 3 supports the spring-loaded rotor system 2 and the fulcrum excitation simulation device 4, and is connected to the external excitation simulation device 5.

The sliding guide rail 53 and the slider 54 form a sliding mechanism that allows the support base 3 to move horizontally. The exciter 51 generates displacement excitation at a certain frequency, and the support base 3 generates excitation at a certain frequency along with the sliding mechanism, thereby simulating the external excitation of the spring-supported rotor system 2.
