Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engine testing technology, specifically relating to an adjustable stator blade angle adjustment and fixing structure for an aero-engine fan. Background Technology

[0002] Aero-engine testing involves fixing the adjustable stator blade angles of the fan. Currently, the most common method is to use angle gauges to adjust the angles of each adjustable stator blade before fixing it.

[0003] The current angle gauge block has notches at both ends. The front notch is engaged with a locating pin connected to the fan casing, and the rear notch is engaged with the flat end of the journal on the adjustable stator blade of the fan. This technical solution has the following drawbacks:

[0004] Each type of angle gauge block can only fix the adjustable stator blades of the fan at a specific angle. In aero-engine experiments, it is necessary to adjust and fix the adjustable stator blades of the fan at multiple angles. Therefore, a wide variety of angle blocks need to be designed for fixing. In addition, there are a large number of adjustable stator blades of the fan. When fixing the angles with different types of angle gauge blocks, the disassembly and assembly process of a large number of different types of angle gauge blocks is time-consuming, inefficient, and the shapes and sizes of different types of angle gauge blocks are similar, which can easily lead to confusion and incorrect use during disassembly and assembly.

[0005] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies.

[0006] It should be noted that the above background information is only used to assist in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and it does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above information was disclosed on the filing date of this application, the above background information should not be used to evaluate the novelty and inventiveness of this application. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide an adjustable stator blade angle adjustment and fixing structure for an aero-engine fan, so as to overcome or mitigate at least one of the known technical defects.

[0008] The technical solution of this application is:

[0009] An adjustable stator blade angle adjustment and fixing structure for an aircraft engine fan includes:

[0010] The front sections of multiple corner gauge blocks are connected to the fan housing with pins;

[0011] The rear section of multiple angle gauge blocks is connected to the front section of each angle gauge block by toothed meshing, and has notches; each notch is locked onto the flat head of the journal on each adjustable stator blade of the fan, so as to fix the angle of each adjustable stator blade of the fan.

[0012] Multiple gaskets are fastened to the upper journal of each fan adjustable stator blade by nuts, pressing the toothed meshing connection between the front and rear sections of each angle gauge block.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of this application, in the above-mentioned adjustable stator blade angle adjustment and fixing structure for aero-engine fans, each angle gauge block has a scale marked on its front section.

[0014] Angle indicator lines at the rear of each corner gauge block;

[0015] The graduations indicated by the various angle indicator lines are consistent with the angles of the adjustable stator blades of the fixed fan at the front and rear sections of each angle gauge block.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment of this application, in the above-mentioned adjustable stator blade angle adjustment and fixing structure of the aero-engine fan, the fixed adjustable stator blade angle deflects by 1° for each tooth stagger between the front section and the rear section of the angle gauge block.

[0017] This application has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] This invention provides a structure for adjusting and fixing the angle of adjustable stator blades in an aero-engine fan. The design divides an existing angle gauge block into two sections: the front section is connected to the fan housing with a pin, and the rear section is notched and engages with the flat head of the journal on the adjustable stator blade via a toothed mesh, thus fixing the angle of the adjustable stator blade. When adjustment is needed, the front and rear sections of the angle gauge block are simply offset by the corresponding angle and reassembled. This process is convenient and quick. In aero-engine testing, it enables accurate and efficient adjustment and fixing of the angles of each adjustable stator blade, minimizing errors. Furthermore, the design incorporates a shim secured to the journal on the adjustable stator blade with a nut, which presses against the toothed mesh of the front and rear sections of the angle gauge block, effectively preventing them from disengaging and ensuring reliable fixing of the adjustable stator blade angle.
