Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital assembly simulation technology. In particular, it relates to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for predicting hot assembly deviations of a power core engine. Background Technology
[0002] The core engine is the most critical component of power plants such as gas turbine engines and aero engines. It includes rotor components like the compressor and high-pressure turbine, as well as key high-temperature components like the combustion chamber. The core engine is designed, processed, manufactured, and assembled in a cold state, and then rotates at high speed in a hot environment with high temperature and pressure. Components expand when heated by the high-temperature gas. Because different materials have different coefficients of expansion, and each component's temperature rise and rate of rise vary, interference may occur during the hot assembly of the core engine. Interference is mainly divided into two types. The first is beneficial interference, where thermal expansion can tighten the connections of certain components in the core engine, allowing the gas turbine to operate normally. For example, many components in the combustion chamber rely on thermal expansion for fastening. However, if the expansion is miscalculated, the connections between components may not be strong enough, potentially causing components to detach during operation, damaging the core engine, or even causing a serious accident. The second type is adverse interference. Differences in the axiality, end-face parallelism, flatness, and end-face and radial runout of rotor components such as the core engine compressor and high-pressure turbine, especially thermal deformation of the core engine under hot conditions, will lead to assembly deviations and interference due to rotor-stator clearance and runout. For example, interference may occur between the rotor and the compressor casing or turbine guide vanes. This can seriously affect the dynamic performance of the core engine and even lead to safety accidents such as blade tip collisions.
[0003] Today, with the advancement of computer technology, more and more equipment is using digital assembly methods for deviation simulation and prediction during the production and assembly process. However, traditional digital assembly deviation prediction mainly focuses on the study of assembly under cold conditions, without simulating the impact of thermal deformation on assembly deviations and interference under the actual working conditions of the core machine. It also fails to integrate the amount of thermal deformation into the actual model, making it impossible to accurately predict the assembly deviations and interference of the power core machine. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.
[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0029] With the advancement of computer technology, more and more equipment is using digital assembly methods for deviation simulation and prediction during the production and assembly process. However, traditional digital assembly deviation prediction mainly focuses on the study of assembly under cold conditions, without simulating the thermal deformation under the actual working conditions of the core machine, and without integrating the thermal deformation amount into the actual model, thus failing to accurately predict the assembly deviation and interference of the power core machine.
[0030] To address this issue, this application proposes a method for predicting hot assembly deviations of the core engine. Specifically for the core engine of a gas turbine power engine, a hot assembly deviation analysis model is established based on parameters such as component machining dimensional deviations, geometric tolerances, three-dimensional contours and deformations in the cold state, and material thermal expansion coefficients and thermal deformations in the hot state. This model enables the prediction of assembly deviations and interferences such as gaps and runouts in the core engine under hot operating conditions, possessing significant economic value and application prospects.
[0031] like Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates a flowchart of the core machine hot assembly deviation prediction method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0032] As shown in the figure, the method includes:
[0033] Step S101: Establish a virtual prototype simulation and analysis model for core machine assembly deviation based on design tolerances.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, step S101 includes:
[0035] A. Create CAD models of the components based on the design drawings and assemble them;
[0036] B. Mark the three-dimensional tolerance dimensions in the CAD model of the parts according to the design drawings;
[0037] C. Import the assembled and labeled CAD models of the components into tolerance analysis software to form a first model for simulation and analysis of virtual prototypes of core machine assembly deviations based on design tolerances.
[0038] Specifically, the construction process of the first model used for virtual prototype simulation and analysis of core machine assembly deviations mainly includes: establishing CAD models of components in a computer-aided system based on design drawings, and assembling the component models based on the design. For example... Figure 2 As shown, taking a gas turbine rotor as an example, the diagram is a schematic CAD model of the component.
[0039] In each component model, the three-dimensional tolerance dimensions are marked according to the design drawings. After marking, the assembled component models are imported into the tolerance analysis software to establish a virtual prototype simulation and analysis model of the core machine assembly deviation based on the design tolerance.
[0040] For example, tolerance analysis software can include DTAS 3D or 3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD. DTAS 3D (Dimensional Tolerance Analysis System 3D), a domestically developed 3D tolerance analysis software, is based on Monte Carlo principles. It models the product according to its tolerances and assembly relationships, then performs analytical and simulation calculations to predict whether the product design can meet its critical dimensional requirements, predict the product pass rate, and conduct root cause analysis. It also incorporates AI and FEA functions, making tolerance analysis modeling more efficient and applicable to a wider range of scenarios. 3DCS Variation Analyst Multi-CAD is a powerful tolerance analysis software, an independent CAD-neutral software system used to model variations caused by part tolerances and manufacturing and assembly processes. 3DCS Multi-CAD can be used with native CAD files, STEP, and IGES.
[0041] In some feasible embodiments, the method includes:
[0042] A. Based on the actual assembly requirements, establish assembly features in the first model, and select assembly processes and plan assembly sequences;
[0043] B. Establish feature measurements in the first model to measure assembly gaps or interferences that meet design specifications.
[0044] Specifically, after establishing a virtual prototype simulation and analysis model of core machine assembly deviation based on design tolerances, assembly features are established according to actual assembly, assembly processes are selected, assembly sequence is planned, and feature measurements are established in the first model, mainly used to measure the assembly gaps or interferences that need to be guaranteed as specified in the design.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, this application presents an assembly deviation analysis model for a micro gas turbine core engine in one embodiment. Key assembly features of components are represented using meshes and nodes. Assembly relationships, dimensional tolerances, and geometric tolerances are assigned to the meshes and nodes, and the propagation of tolerances during the assembly process is achieved through the network and nodes. Assembly deviations are analyzed by measuring key assembly indicators. Representing key assembly features of parts using networks and nodes allows for a lightweight analysis model.
[0046] Step S102: Perform tolerance analysis on the first model to determine the key features that affect the assembly deviation of each component of the core machine. Compare the obtained 2D and 3D fusion data of the key features with the corresponding component models to obtain the first corrected model.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, the step of performing tolerance analysis on the first model to determine the key features affecting the assembly deviations of various core components includes:
[0048] Tolerance analysis is performed on the first model to output data on the impact of design tolerances of each component on assemblability and assembly accuracy, and to identify the sources and degree of influence of assembly deviations, thereby determining the key characteristics affecting the assembly deviations of each component of the core machine.
[0049] In simple terms, the simulation and analysis model of the virtual prototype of the core machine assembly deviation based on design tolerances is subjected to tolerance analysis. The results include the impact of the design tolerances of each part on the assemblability and assembly accuracy of the equipment, the influencing factors of assembly deviations, and can accurately identify the source and degree of influence of assembly deviations. This allows us to determine the key 2D and 3D dimensions, geometric tolerances, and other factors that affect the assembly deviations of each component of the core machine.
[0050] In one embodiment of this application, the method for obtaining the 2D and 3D fused data includes:
[0051] A. Perform 3D scanning and measurement on the key features that affect the assembly deviation of various components of the core machine.
[0052] Further, step A includes:
[0053] A1. Identify and prioritize the features of the mating surfaces of the core components;
[0054] A2. Scan and measure the key features that affect the assembly deviation of the core machine corresponding to each actual component, and collect point cloud data of the key features of the assembly mating surfaces of the actual components through 3D scanning.
[0055] Primarily, precision measurement technology is used to perform 2D and 3D scanning and measurement of key features affecting assembly deviations of various core components. Specifically, feature identification and key segmentation are performed on the mating surfaces of components. Digital inspection equipment is used to scan and measure the key features of actual components that affect core component assembly deviations. 3D scanning is used to collect point cloud data of the key features of the mating surfaces of actual components. For example... Figure 4 The image shown is a schematic diagram of a 3D scanned point cloud.
[0056] B. Extract 3D tolerance data related to key features from 3D scanning data and fuse it with 2D data.
[0057] Furthermore, step B includes:
[0058] B1. Remove noise and redundant patches from the point cloud data, and use a triangulation meshing algorithm to obtain a triangulated mesh model based on the measured point cloud.
[0059] B2. Perform optimal fitting between the triangulated mesh model and the component CAD model, and obtain the key parameters of the actual component model's outline, dimensions, and shape and position using the component CAD model as a reference.
[0060] B3. Extract key 3D tolerance data related to the key features of the actual component assembly surfaces, and fuse them with 2D data to obtain 2D and 3D fused data.
[0061] Primarily, key parameters such as contour and deformation are extracted from the 3D scan data and fused with 2D data. Specifically, the measured point cloud data obtained through scanning is processed, removing noise and redundant faces, and a triangulation meshing algorithm is used to obtain a triangulated mesh model based on the measured point cloud. The triangulated model obtained from the actual component scan is best-fitted with the component design CAD model. After fitting, the contour, deformation, and other key parameters of the actual model are obtained using the theoretical CAD model as a reference. Key 3D tolerance data related to the key features of the assembly mating surfaces of the actual components are extracted, and then fused with 2D data to obtain fused 2D and 3D data.
[0062] In one or more embodiments of this application, the step of comparing the obtained 2D and 3D fused data of the key features with the corresponding component model to obtain a first corrected model includes:
[0063] A. Compare the obtained 2D and 3D fused data of the key features with the corresponding component models to identify discrepancies. For example... Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram comparing the deviations of key feature values.
[0064] B. Taking into account the inherent accuracy error of the measuring instrument, the deviation is converted into data that can be recognized by the tolerance analysis software and then imported into the CAD model of the component. This is then integrated into the first correction model based on the analysis of the virtual prototype of the core assembly deviation of the core machine based on actual measurement and design tolerance.
[0065] C. Repeat the tolerance analysis on the first model to determine the key characteristics affecting the assembly deviation of each component of the core machine. Use the measured values instead of the design values and the instrument measurement uncertainty instead of the design tolerance for tolerance analysis and optimization.
[0066] Step S103: Based on the operating temperature distribution of the core machine and the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials of each component of the core machine, establish a second model for the simulation of the temperature field and thermal deformation of the core machine, so as to extract the three-dimensional thermal deformation of the key features of each component of the core machine.
[0067] In some feasible embodiments, the method for measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials of each component of the core machine includes: assigning a working temperature to each component according to the actual working conditions, placing a sample of the key material or newly developed material corresponding to each component into a coefficient of thermal expansion device, and accurately measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material.
[0068] In one or more embodiments, step S103 specifically includes:
[0069] A. Based on the operating temperature distribution of the core machine and the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials of each component of the core machine, assign the thermal expansion coefficients, elastic modulus, density, and deformation curves of each component material corresponding to high-temperature deformation in the CAE software.
[0070] B. Establish the core machine temperature field, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic modulus, density, and deformation curves of each core machine component based on the finite element method, so as to obtain the thermal deformation distribution of each core machine component.
[0071] In simple terms, based on the operating temperature distribution of the core machine and the measured coefficient of thermal expansion, factors such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, elastic modulus, density, and deformation curve of the corresponding material under high temperature deformation are assigned in CAE software. The thermal deformation distribution of the core machine components is then obtained by establishing the core machine temperature field and coefficient of thermal expansion of each component based on the finite element method.
[0072] like Figure 6 The diagram shown illustrates the thermal deformation model of the turbine rotor of a micro gas turbine core unit according to one embodiment of this application. During the daily operation of the gas turbine, the materials of the heated components differ, resulting in different coefficients of expansion. Furthermore, the heating conditions and rates of each component vary, which may lead to a mismatch in the expansion and deformation of the rotor and stator, changes in rotor blade tip clearance, and the fact that parts that can be assembled in a cold state do not necessarily maintain sufficient clearance during hot operation. Therefore, simulation is needed to predict the deformation of the gas turbine components under hot conditions.
[0073] Taking a turbine rotor as an example, the turbine rotor and compressor rotor together form a gas turbine rotor. The outer surface of the turbine rotor is exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure gas, while the air around the compressor rotor is cooler. The large temperature difference between the two rotors and the uneven temperature distribution cause different expansion and contraction deformations within the elastic body. To maintain continuity, thermal stress is generated within the gas turbine rotor. Heat is mainly transferred through the connection between the two rotors, resulting in a large internal temperature difference. Simultaneously, the turbine rotor is exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure gas. Due to the highest temperature at the turbine inlet and the lowest at the outlet, a temperature difference exists, leading to varying degrees of thermal expansion and deformation in the turbine rotor. CAE software simulation can obtain the thermal deformation at each point of the turbine. The simulation results show that the thermal deformation is greatest at the turbine blade inlet and outlet, and smallest at the turbine impeller disk. Post-processing of the data yields the coordinates of key points before and after deformation. Based on the difference in coordinates before and after deformation, a thermal deformation simulation model is established on the theoretical model.
[0074] Step S104: Import the three-dimensional thermal deformation amount into the first correction model to form the third model for core machine assembly deviation analysis, and repeat the tolerance analysis to predict the assembly deviation and interference of the core machine under hot state.
[0075] Primarily, the thermal deformation of key features of each component is extracted from the second model used for core engine temperature field and thermal deformation simulation. This thermal deformation is then imported into the corresponding parts of the first corrected model, which is based on a virtual prototype analysis of assembly deviations using a fusion of measured and design tolerances. This forms a cold-state assembly corrected model containing hot-state assembly information. Tolerance analysis is repeatedly performed on the first model to determine the key features affecting the assembly deviations of each core engine component, and to predict the assembly deviations and interference under hot conditions of the core engine.
[0076] like Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of core machine hot assembly deviation prediction and optimization in one embodiment of this application. The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, will help those skilled in the art to further understand this application, but does not limit the application in any way.
[0077] 1) Taking the core engine of a gas turbine as an example, predict and analyze the interference of components in the combustion chamber that are fastened by thermal expansion and the gap between the rotor and the stator.
[0078] 2) Based on the design tolerances of core components of the gas turbine, such as the compressor, turbine, and combustion chamber, establish a tolerance analysis model for assembly deviations.
[0079] Based on the design drawings, CAD models of the parts are created in a computer-aided system, and the parts are assembled according to the design. After marking the three-dimensional tolerance dimensions in each part model according to the design drawings, the assembly model is imported into tolerance analysis software. Assembly features are established, assembly processes are selected, and the assembly sequence is planned based on the actual assembly. Feature measurements are also established in the model, mainly measuring the assembly clearances or interferences that need to be guaranteed as specified in the design. A virtual prototype simulation and analysis model of the core machine assembly deviation based on design tolerances is established.
[0080] 3) Based on the tolerance analysis model, determine the key factors affecting the assembly accuracy of the core machine, such as assembly clearance and runout.
[0081] Tolerance analysis was performed on a virtual prototype simulation and analysis model of the core machine assembly deviation based on design tolerances. The results included the impact of each part's design tolerances on the assemblability and assembly accuracy of the equipment, the influencing factors of assembly deviations, and the ability to accurately identify the sources and degrees of influence of assembly deviations. This revealed the key 2D and 3D factors affecting the core machine assembly deviations. Based on the analysis results, key features and parameters affecting assembly performance were determined. During the design phase, tolerance allocation optimization can be performed to maximize part tolerances while meeting design performance requirements.
[0082] 4) Precision measuring equipment such as coordinate measuring machines, laser trackers, articulated arms, and high-precision 3D scanners are used to accurately measure the key features and parameters that affect the assembly deviation of the core machine, as determined by the analysis.
[0083] 5) Extract key parameters such as contour and deformation from 3D scanned point cloud data.
[0084] The measured data obtained through scanning is processed, and after removing noise and redundant patches, a triangulation mesh model based on the measured point cloud is obtained using a triangulation mesh algorithm. The triangulated model obtained from scanning the actual part is then optimally fitted to the part's CAD design model. After fitting, using the theoretical CAD model as a reference, key parameters such as the contour and deformation of the actual model are obtained. Deviation data related to key features of the assembly and mating surfaces of the actual part are extracted, such as... Figure 2 By combining 2D data such as part dimensions, complete 2D / 3D deviation data of key features affecting assembly performance can be obtained.
[0085] 6) Establish a core machine assembly deviation analysis model based on the measured 2D / 3D data.
[0086] Based on the measured 2D / 3D deviation data of key features of the parts, combined with the measurement uncertainty of the measuring instrument, the data is transformed into data that can be recognized by the tolerance analysis model. Then, the assembly tolerance analysis model is assembled to obtain the assembly deviation and interference based on the measured data of the machined parts.
[0087] 7) Establish a core machine temperature field and thermal deformation simulation model based on finite element method.
[0088] Based on the operating temperature distribution of the core machine, factors such as the thermal expansion coefficient, elastic modulus, density, and deformation curve of the corresponding materials are assigned in CAE software to establish a finite element-based simulation model of the core machine temperature field and thermal deformation for each component.
[0089] 8) High-precision thermocouples and high-precision laser interferometers are used to accurately measure the temperature and thermal deformation of key and new materials, and to accurately obtain the coefficient of thermal expansion of the materials.
[0090] 9) Correct the core machine thermal deformation simulation model based on the accurate measured data of temperature field, thermal deformation, and thermal expansion coefficient of materials obtained from the test.
[0091] By substituting the measured coefficient of thermal expansion of the material into the core machine temperature field and thermal deformation simulation model based on the finite element method, a corrected simulation model of temperature field and thermal deformation based on the finite element method is obtained.
[0092] 10) Extract the three-dimensional thermal deformation of key features of each component of the core machine from the core machine thermal deformation simulation model.
[0093] By correcting the core machine's thermal deformation simulation model based on measured data, the thermal deformation amount of each key feature can be obtained. Furthermore, because the temperature sensor in the thermal expansion coefficient measuring device has inherent instrument errors, the thermal deformation value also fluctuates within the temperature error range. This range of deformation values approximates the tolerance fluctuation of the part under high and low temperatures.
[0094] 11) The obtained three-dimensional thermal deformation is used as the measured data under hot conditions and imported into the third model of the core machine assembly deviation analysis to predict the assembly deviation and interference of the core machine under hot conditions.
[0095] The hot-state tolerances are imported into the corresponding parts of the assembly deviation virtual prototype analysis and correction model based on the fusion of measured and design tolerances, forming a cold-state assembly correction model that includes hot-state assembly information. The model predicts the assembly deviations and interferences of the core machine under hot conditions, and performs tolerance analysis and optimization on the results.
[0096] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: The method of this application focuses on the analysis and prediction of hot assembly deviations in the core engine, addressing the lack of research on thermal deformation during current digital assembly research, which prevents the prediction of assembly deviations and interferences such as gaps and runouts in practical applications. A cold-state analysis model of core engine assembly deviations based on 2D and 3D data fusion is established. The key characteristic thermal deformation of the core engine under hot conditions is extracted in three dimensions, and the thermal deformation is corrected using experimental data, resulting in a more accurate and reliable model. Furthermore, based on the cold-state assembly deviation analysis model, assembly deviations and interferences under hot conditions are predicted, achieving the prediction objective while improving efficiency and saving costs, demonstrating significant economic value and application prospects.
[0097] like Figure 8 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a core machine hot assembly deviation prediction device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the core machine hot assembly deviation prediction device 800 includes:
