Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of safety design of aero-engine, and particularly relates to a brake structure for preventing turbine fly-off after shaft breakage of an aero-engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Turbine fly-off is a severe and complex accident for an aero-engine. During normal operation of the aero-engine, the low-pressure turbine shaft breaks due to extreme load, machining and assembly, fatigue, jamming or other factors. After the low-pressure turbine shaft breaks, the low-pressure rotor loses load and increases in speed under the drive of the gas. When the turbine speed increases to a certain level, the turbine blades break, impact the casing, and the turbine disc also breaks due to excessive centrifugal stress, and the high-energy fragments can hit the aircraft, seriously affecting the safety of the aircraft. Therefore, it is necessary to design a brake structure for preventing turbine fly-off after shaft breakage of an aero-engine.

[0003] In order to reduce the harm caused by turbine fly-off, the traditional method is to actively control by monitoring the rotor speed and stopping fuel supply. However, this method has the disadvantage that the monitoring device stops fuel supply only after the engine rotor fly-off is detected. At the moment of stopping fuel supply, there is still fuel in the oil pipe, and the engine rotor still continues to rotate, which makes the speed of the engine rotor system faster and faster, and causes an irreversible secondary accident. Stopping fuel supply cannot immediately stop the driving force of the rotor system, and this process has a time delay. With the development of technology, this active control brake technology is no longer applicable in modern aero-engines, and therefore it is necessary to design a brake structure for passive control to prevent turbine fly-off.

[0004] After the low-pressure rotor of the aero-engine breaks, the low-pressure turbine impacts the load-bearing frame under the drive of the gas. However, the load-bearing frame is elastic, and the turbine rotor rebounds after impacting the load-bearing frame. The rebound of the engine turbine rotor after impacting the load-bearing frame causes collision and friction between the low-pressure turbine and other static structures. In the case of high speed, it can cause a secondary accident and damage the structural integrity of the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to design a rebound limiting structure after shaft breakage of the aero-engine to improve the safety of the engine. SUMMARY

When the aero-engine is normally operated, the wedge-shaped conical surface of the turbine rear axle neck and the front edge of the bearing seat have a gap and do not contact and rub.
