Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of measuring the total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet of an aircraft engine, and specifically relates to a measuring and mounting structure for a sensing part of the total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet of an aircraft engine. Background Art

[0002] The total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet of an aircraft engine are important parameters for aircraft engine performance calculation and airborne health monitoring system, and are of great significance for evaluating aircraft engine performance and working status.

[0003] Currently, the following two methods are mainly used to measure the total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet of an aircraft engine:

[0004] A fixed, plug-in sensing element is installed in the outer casing. Its support rod passes through reserved holes in the outer and inner casings and extends into the inner casing to measure the total temperature and pressure at the turbine outlet. The angles and depths of the temperature and pressure sensing heads on the support rod are arranged in an equiannular or equidistant manner according to the measurement cross-section requirements. Considering the significant temperature difference between the inner and outer casing flow fields at the turbine outlet, the thermal expansion of the inner casing is much greater than that of the outer casing, and there is significant movement between the inner and outer casings. To prevent damage to the support rod due to uncoordinated deformation between the inner and outer casings, a certain amount of space is reserved in the reserved hole on the inner casing. This design causes the high-temperature, high-pressure inner casing airflow at the turbine outlet to leak into the outer casing airflow, affecting the overall performance of the aircraft engine. In addition, the support rod becomes a very long single cantilever support structure, which places high demands on the strength and rigidity of the support rod. Too thick will cause flow channel blockage, affecting the performance of the aircraft engine. Too thin will result in insufficient rigidity, causing bending and friction with the inner casing, endangering the safe operation of the aircraft engine.

[0005] A fixed plug-in sensing part is installed on the inner casing and extended into the inner casing to measure the total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet. The temperature and pressure measurement leads need to be led out of the outer casing through the aircraft engine support plate or special pipelines. This involves the modification of a large amount of aircraft engine structure, which is costly. The tail of the sensing part is directly exposed to the outer casing airflow, and there is a risk of the leads being blown out by the outer casing flow channel, resulting in low reliability. In addition, the sensing part needs to be installed during the aircraft engine assembly process, and generally cannot be replaced or repaired on site in the event of a failure, resulting in poor maintainability and interchangeability.

[0006] In the above-mentioned technical solution of installing a fixed plug-in sensing part on the outer casing and installing a fixed plug-in sensing part on the inner casing to measure the total temperature and total pressure at the turbine outlet, the temperature and pressure measuring heads on the sensing part are arranged at different radial positions, which is not conducive to subsequent data processing. The excessive number of openings on the support rod directly affects the strength of the support rod of the sensing part. The support rod is prone to fracture and failure due to stress concentration at the openings, threatening the safe operation of the aircraft engine.

[0007] This application is proposed in view of the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0008] It should be noted that the disclosure of the above background technology content is only used to assist in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and it does not necessarily belong to the prior art of the present application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above content has been disclosed on the filing date of the present application, the above background technology should not be used to evaluate the novelty and creativity of the present application.

[0056] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This application is described in further detail.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the sensing part for measuring the total temperature and total pressure at the outlet of the aircraft engine turbine mainly consists of a support rod 1, a total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2, a movable sealing gasket 3, an outer support movable sealing assembly 4, an inner support sleeve 5, a pressure nozzle 6, an adapter seat 7, and a thermocouple connector 8.

[0058] The support rod 1 is the main internal flow channel support and load-bearing component of the sensing part. It is made of high-strength stainless steel or high-temperature resistant alloy material. The interior of the support rod is filled with high-temperature resistant hot cement to fix the internal pressure pipes and thermocouples together.

[0059] The total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2 is used to measure the total temperature and total pressure flow field parameters. It is installed on the windward front edge of the support rod 1 and is connected to the support rod 1 by welding.

[0060] The movable sealing gasket 3 is an annular movable sealing component, which is inserted into the upper end of the circular boss on the upper part of the support rod 1 and can slide between the support rod 1 and the outer supporting movable sealing component 4.

[0061] The outer support movable sealing assembly 4 is a support and sealing component for the sensed part in the outer casing, and at the same time enables the sensed part to have the ability to adjust and compensate in the circumferential, axial and radial directions of the engine.

[0062] One end of the outer supporting movable sealing assembly 4 is fixed to the mounting seat on the inner casing 10 by means of a threaded connection, and the other end is fixed to the mounting seat on the outer casing 9 by means of a bolt connection.

[0063] The inner support sleeve 5 is connected and supported by the support rod 1 and the adapter seat 7 by welding, and the pressure pipeline and the thermocouple lead of the total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2 are safely and reliably led out of the outer casing 9.

[0064] The main function of the pressure nozzle 6 is to transmit the pressure parameters measured by the sensing part to the external pressure measuring pipeline, and to be connected to the pressure pipeline of the total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2 by welding.

[0065] The adapter seat 7 provides support for the pressure nozzle 6 and the thermocouple connector 8, and at the same time distributes the pressure pipeline and thermocouple lead wires led out of the inner support sleeve and connects them to the pressure nozzle 6 and the thermocouple connector 8 respectively.

[0066] The main function of the thermocouple connector 8 is to transfer the thermocouple lead wire of the sensing part to the external temperature data acquisition system.

[0067] The total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2 mainly measures the total pressure and total temperature parameters of the flow channel in the engine. It consists of a total pressure sensor 2-1, a thermocouple 2-2, a composite fairing 2-3 and a thermocouple protection porcelain tube 2-4. The structure is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0068] The total pressure sensor 2-1 is a metal tube used to measure the total pressure at the turbine outlet. Figure 3 As shown, the head portion facing the airflow is chamfered at an angle of 90°, burrs are removed, and sharp edges are retained. It is connected to the composite fairing 2-3 by welding, and the total pressure sensing head 2-1 is arranged on the side of the composite fairing 2-3 close to the engine axis.

[0069] Thermocouple 2-2 is a temperature sensing element of the sensing part, which is used to measure the total temperature at the turbine outlet. Its hot junction faces the airflow. After passing through the thermocouple protection porcelain tube 2-4, it is installed together with the stepped mounting hole of the composite fairing 2-3. It is limited and fixed by the hot cement inside the stepped hole and the support rod 1. Thermocouple 2-2 is arranged on the side away from the engine axis.

[0070] The composite fairing 2-3 is a double-pass elliptical cylindrical structure, which is installed in conjunction with the elliptical composite measurement component mounting hole on the windward front edge of the support rod 1 and then welded and fixed. It includes the total pressure head mounting hole A, the total pressure head air inlet hole B, the total pressure head exhaust hole C, the thermocouple mounting hole D, the thermocouple air inlet hole E and the thermocouple exhaust hole F. Figure 4 As shown. The total pressure sensor air inlet B enters the total pressure measurement space, flows through the total pressure sensor 2-1, and exits through the total pressure sensor exhaust C. This structure ensures that the airflow passes through the total pressure sensor 2-1 at a certain internal flow velocity, ensuring that the total pressure sensor 2-1 can accurately measure the total pressure parameters. The 90° chamfer at the total pressure sensor air inlet B increases the angular range of total pressure measurement. The airflow enters the total temperature measurement space through the thermocouple air inlet E, flows through the measuring end of the thermocouple 2-2, and exits through the thermocouple exhaust F. The measuring end is located at the center of the thermocouple air inlet E, with the hot junction positioned below the air inlet plane of the E hole. This structure ensures that the airflow passes through the measuring end of the thermocouple 2-2 at a certain internal flow velocity, reducing the error in the total temperature measurement of the thermocouple 2-2 airflow. The 90° chamfer at the thermocouple air inlet E increases the angular range of total temperature measurement.

[0071] The outer support movable sealing assembly 4 mainly includes an outer support sleeve 4-1, a sealing seat 4-2, an elastic sealing ring 4-3, a sealing pressure plate 4-4 and a sealing vibration damping ring 4-5. Figure 5 shown.

[0072] One end of the outer support sleeve 4-1 is fixed to the mounting seat of the inner casing 10 through an external thread, and the other end is hexagonal with an annular boss structure in the middle. An annular positioning groove is machined in the middle of the annular boss for installing the elastic sealing ring 4-3.

[0073] The elastic sealing ring 4-3 is made of metal material, and the ring body is open so as to be inserted into the annular positioning groove on the annular boss of the outer support sleeve 4-1. The width is 0.5mm and the angle is 117°. Figure 6 shown.

[0074] The outer support sleeve 4-1 and the elastic sealing ring 4-3 are sleeved together and pass through the sealing seat 4-2, and can slide up and down along the axis of the sealing seat 4-2.

[0075] The sealing pressure plate 4-4 is evenly distributed with multiple through holes in the circumferential direction, and the sensing part is connected to the mounting seat of the outer casing 9 by bolt connection, while limiting the movement direction and range of components such as the sealing seat 4-2.

[0076] The sealing vibration damping ring 4-5 is installed between the outer support sleeve 4-1 and the inner support sleeve 5. On the one hand, it can form a soft vibration isolation structure between the outer support sleeve 4-1 and the inner support sleeve 5, reducing the stress fatigue damage that may be caused at the root welding of the inner support sleeve 5 of the long cantilever structure when it vibrates with the aircraft engine. On the other hand, it can seal the high-temperature fuel gas that may penetrate from the interior of the aircraft engine into the space between the outer support sleeve 4-1 and the inner support sleeve 5, reducing the leakage of high-temperature fuel gas.

[0077] The sealing vibration damping ring 4-5 is made of high temperature resistant vibration damping rubber material with J-movable installation seam, which is convenient for installation and replacement. Figure 7 shown.

[0078] The measuring and installation structure of the total temperature and total pressure sensing part of the turbine outlet of an aircraft engine is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the total temperature and total pressure parameters at the outlet of the engine turbine can be measured simultaneously. The total temperature and total pressure composite measurement component 2 is facing the incoming flow direction. The total pressure sensing head 2-1 senses the total pressure parameters of the flow field, and leads the total pressure through the pressure pipe to the pressure nozzle 6, and is connected to the external pressure sensor through the pressure nozzle to finally obtain the total pressure measurement value. The thermocouple 2-2 senses the total temperature parameters of the flow field. The thermocouple type can be E-type, J-type, N-type, T-type, K-type, R-type and S-type standardized thermocouples. After the lead of the thermocouple 2-2 passes through the support rod 1, the inner support sleeve 5 and the adapter 7, it is connected to the external temperature data acquisition equipment through the thermocouple connector 8 to finally obtain the total temperature measurement value.

[0079] Figure 8 In the middle, the inner compression sealing surface is at point H, the threaded sealing surface is at point I, and the outer sliding sealing surface is at point I. The inner compression sealing surface G is sealed by compressing and deforming the contact plane between the support rod 1 and the inner casing 10 mounting seat to prevent leakage of the inner gas. After the outer support movable seal assembly 4 is screwed into the inner casing 10 mounting seat through threads, the movable sealing gasket 3 is pressed to prevent the inner gas from entering the cavity between the outer support sleeve 4-1 and the inner support sleeve 5 due to the failure of the seal at the inner compression sealing surface G. The threaded sealing surface H is formed by applying sealant when the outer support movable seal assembly 4 is screwed into the inner casing 10 mounting seat to prevent the inner gas from entering the outer casing due to the failure of the seal at the inner compression sealing surface G. The sealing vibration damping ring 4-5 is installed at the outlet position of the cavity between the outer support sleeve 4-1 and the inner support sleeve 5, and adopts an interference fit sealing method to ensure that when the seal at the movable sealing gasket 3 fails, the inner gas will not leak to the outside of the aircraft engine. The sealing seat 4-2 and the elastic sealing ring 4-3 form a sliding seal structure to prevent the leakage of the outer casing air to the outside of the aircraft engine. The outer casing sliding sealing surface I is sealed by the sliding contact between the sealing seat 4-2 and the contact surface of the outer casing 9 mounting seat, thereby preventing the leakage of the outer casing air to the outside of the aircraft engine.

[0080] The temperature of the inner casing 10 and the outer casing 9 of an aircraft engine is different. The temperature of the inner casing 10 is significantly higher than that of the outer casing 9. The thermal expansion of the inner casing 10 and the outer casing 9 is inconsistent. The thermal deformation of the inner casing 10 is significantly greater than that of the outer casing 9. The inner casing 10 will significantly move along the OZ direction and the XY plane relative to the outer casing 9. The sensing part of the design of the present application is connected to the mounting seat of the inner casing 10 and the mounting seat of the outer casing 9 through the outer supporting movable sealing component 4. When the inner casing 10 and the outer casing 9 move in series, the outer supporting sleeve (4-1) will slide along the OZ direction relative to the sealing seat (4-2), and the outer supporting sleeve (4-1) can drive the sealing seat (4-2) to slide in the XY plane relative to the sealing pressure plate (4-4), thereby effectively compensating for the uncoordinated deformation between the inner casing 10 and the outer casing 9 and avoiding damage to the support rod (1).

[0081] In the aforementioned aircraft engine turbine outlet total temperature and total pressure sensing unit measurement and installation structure, the total temperature and total pressure composite measurement assembly 2 is designed to simultaneously perform single-point composite measurement of the total temperature and total pressure parameters in the engine flow field. This highly integrated and compact structure reduces the number of openings in the strut 1, thus avoiding stress concentration and insufficient strength of the strut 1 due to excessive openings. Furthermore, the aforementioned aircraft engine turbine outlet total temperature and total pressure sensing unit measurement and installation structure can be directly inserted and installed from the outside of the engine, offering excellent interchangeability and maintainability, a reliable structure, and improved measurement efficiency. Furthermore, the dual-point mounting structure enhances the static and dynamic strength margins of the sensing unit.
