Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic dynamometer technology, and more particularly to a perforated disc type hydraulic dynamometer. Background Technology

[0002] With the independent research and development of high-power heavy-duty gas turbines and aero engines, it is necessary to conduct various tests such as product performance development, calibration, matching, simulation, reliability and durability performance, and simulate the power performance test of the engine on the test bench through a power loading device.

[0003] Due to its advantages such as low unit cost, compact size, low inertia, fast transient response, large load absorption, and high power operation, the hydraulic dynamometer has always been an important device for measuring and diagnosing the power performance of heavy-duty gas turbines and aero engines.

[0004] When the hydraulic dynamometer measures the power of the prime mover, the rotor rotates with the prime mover, stirring the water that enters the dynamometer. The water transmits torque to the stator and housing, causing the stator and housing to rotate at a small angle relative to the dynamometer base. This tendency of the stator and housing components to move is resisted by the tension and compression sensor components. The magnitude of the tension (compression) force is measured by the tension and compression sensors, and the power of the prime mover can be obtained by combining the lever arm length and the rotational speed.

[0005] Currently, traditional hydraulic dynamometers in China are constrained by factors such as high-speed cavitation, high-speed centrifugal stress, advanced rotor dynamics, high-speed bearing matching, high-speed bearing lubrication, and high-speed sealing, which cannot adequately meet the development and testing needs of high-power, high-speed, heavy-duty gas turbines and aero engines.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1-23 As shown, a perforated disc hydraulic dynamometer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a support assembly 100, a housing assembly 200, a stator assembly 300, a rotor assembly 400, an inlet valve assembly 500, a drain valve assembly 600, a calibration device 700, and a speed measuring device 800. Wherein:

[0056] The housing assembly 200 is mounted on the support assembly 100 and is capable of swinging about the horizontal axis on the support assembly 100. A stator assembly 300 and a rotor assembly 400 are installed inside the housing assembly 200. The two ends of the rotor assembly 410's shaft pass through the housing assembly 200 along its swing axis. A high-speed contact sealing structure and a high-speed bearing lubrication sealing structure are also provided between the rotor assembly 410 and the housing assembly 200. The housing assembly 200 has an inlet 211 and an outlet 212. An inlet valve assembly 500 is connected to the inlet 211, and a drain valve assembly 600 is connected to the outlet 212. A calibration device 700 is mounted on the support assembly 100 and connected to both sides of the housing assembly 200 to measure the torque of the housing assembly 200. A speed measuring device 800 is used to detect the speed of the rotor assembly 400.

[0057] The working principle of this hydraulic dynamometer is as follows: The rotor assembly 400's shaft 410 is connected to the engine under test. When the engine starts, it drives the rotor assembly 400 to rotate. Water flows into the inner cavity of the housing assembly 200 through the inlet 211. The rotor assembly 400 drives the water to be thrown against the inner wall of the housing assembly 200 under centrifugal force. The housing assembly 200 oscillates due to the impact of the water. The water impacts the inner wall of the housing assembly, and its speed is reduced by the frictional resistance of the inner wall, thus losing kinetic energy and converting the absorbed mechanical energy into heat energy, ultimately raising the water temperature. Due to the friction between the water and the inner wall, the oscillation speed of the housing assembly 200 is slower than the rotation speed of the rotor assembly 400. Therefore, the water resists the rotation of the rotor assembly 400, generating a resistance torque. This resistance torque acts directly on the engine through the rotor assembly 400, forming the engine load, or in other words, the water absorbs the engine's power. This load can be controlled by adjusting the inflow and outflow of water. Therefore, the engine's output torque or drive torque can be measured using this hydraulic dynamometer. Combined with the measured rotational speed of the rotor assembly 400, the engine's output power or drive power can be calculated.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-18 The following content will provide a more detailed description of this orifice-type hydraulic dynamometer.

[0059] The support assembly 100 includes a support base 110, a bearing housing 120, and a bracket 130. Two bearing housings 120 are symmetrically fixed on the support base 110. The two bearing housings 120 are used to install and support the housing assembly 200. The bracket 130 is fixed on the support base 110 and is used to install and support the inlet valve assembly 500.

[0060] The housing assembly 200 includes a middle housing 210 and two side housings 220. The two side housings 220 are threadedly connected to the middle housing 210 via threaded fittings. Specifically, the middle housing 210 and the two side housings 220 have circumferential through holes. A locking rod 240 passes through the through holes in the middle housing 210 and the two side housings 220, and locking nuts 250 are threadedly connected to both ends of the locking rod 240 to lock the two side housings 220 to both ends of the middle housing 210. A bearing housing 230 is also fixed to the outer end of each of the two side housings 220 of the housing assembly 200. Specifically, the bearing housing 230 abuts against the outer port of the side housing 220 and the two are threadedly connected via threaded fittings. A sealing ring 231 is also provided between the bearing housing 230 and the outer port of the side housing 220. The housing assembly 200 is structurally designed for easy disassembly and assembly via threaded connections. During installation, the two bearing housings 230 are mounted on the two bearing seats 120 of the support assembly 100 via the swing bearings 260, thereby rotatably mounting the housing assembly 200 onto the support assembly 100. Swing bearing inner ring cover plates 270 are also fixedly mounted on the two bearing housings 230, and swing bearing outer ring cover plates 280 are fixedly mounted on the two bearing seats 120. The inner ring cover plates 270 and outer ring cover plates 280 cooperate to protect the swing bearings 260.

[0061] The stator assembly 300 is installed in the inner cavity of the intermediate housing 210 of the housing assembly 200. The stator assembly 300 includes a stator disk 310 and a drainage guide ring 320. The stator disk 310 and the drainage guide ring 320 are arranged in series at intervals. Both the stator disk 310 and the drainage guide ring 320 mate with the inner cavity of the intermediate housing 210. The stator disk 310, the drainage guide ring 320 and the intermediate housing 210 are connected and positioned by keyways 311 and keys 330. The series connection of the stator disk 310 and the drainage guide ring 320 facilitates assembly and disassembly. The stator disk 310 has an internal water inlet channel 312, which communicates with the water inlet 211 at the upper end of the intermediate housing 210. The stator disk 310 has a central through-hole 313 that passes through the water inlet channel 312. Stator suction holes 314 are located on both ends of the stator disk 310 and are arranged in a circular array along the circumference of the stator disk 310. The water inlet channel 312 of the stator disk 310 communicates with the inner cavity of the drainage guide ring 320 through the central through-hole 313. The inner cavity of the drainage guide ring 320, spaced between two stator disks 310, forms a drainage channel 321. Drainage holes 322, communicating with the drainage channel 321, are located on both sides of the bottom of the drainage guide ring 320.

[0062] The rotor assembly 400 includes a shaft 410, rotor plates 420, and spacer rings 430. The shaft 410 has a non-circular triangular cam section 411 for mounting the rotor plates 420 and spacer rings 430. The rotor plates 420 are provided with non-circular triangular center holes 421, and the spacer rings 430 are also provided with non-circular triangular center holes 431. The rotor plates 420 and spacer rings 430 are arranged in series on the non-circular triangular cam section 411 of the shaft 410 at intervals, and the two ends of the series connection are positioned on the shaft 410 by locking rings. The non-circular triangular cam section 411 of the shaft 410 has greater torsional strength and rigidity, enabling the rotor assembly 400 to meet the testing requirements of high-torque engines. The rotor blades 420 are provided with rotor suction holes 422, which are arranged in a circumferential array along the circumference of the rotor blades 420. After the rotor assembly 400 is installed into the inner cavity of the intermediate housing 210, each rotor blade 420 is installed in its corresponding drainage channel 321. The spacer ring 430 is located in the central through hole 313 of the stator disk 310. During operation, the rotor blades 420 agitate the water in the drainage channel 321 through the rotor suction holes 422, causing centrifugal motion and allowing the water to absorb the power of the engine. The rotor assembly 400, with the rotor blades 420 and spacer ring 430 connected in series on the shaft 410, facilitates assembly and disassembly. Each rotor blade 420 is located individually in its respective drainage channel 321, which has the advantages of low power absorption density of a single rotor blade 420, strong cavitation resistance, and low high-speed centrifugal stress.

[0063] The non-circular triangular cam section 411 of the rotating shaft 410 has cylindrical sections 412 at both ends. A high-speed contact sealing structure and a high-speed bearing lubrication sealing structure can be installed between the cylindrical section 412 and the housing assembly 200, thereby meeting the lubrication and high-speed sealing requirements of the high-speed bearing 1200. The rotating shaft 410 also has splines 413 at both ends. The rotating shaft 410 can be fitted with a coupling 440 through the splines 413. The outer end of the spline 413 is provided with a threaded hole. The coupling 440 is threadedly connected and locked to the end of the rotating shaft 410 through the threaded part and the threaded hole of the spline 413. The coupling 440 can connect the rotating shafts 410 of two or more disc-type hydraulic dynamometers in series, thereby forming a multi-stage series hydraulic dynamometer.

[0064] In this embodiment, the stator disk 310 of the stator assembly 300 is further provided with a first vent 315 extending from its edge to the water inlet channel 312. A first vent pipe 213 is provided on the intermediate housing 210 of the housing assembly 200. The first vent pipe 213 extends from the outside of the intermediate housing 210 into its inner cavity, and communicates with the first vent 315 on the stator disk 310. A first micro-vacuum balancing valve 214 is installed at the outer end of the first vent pipe 213. Through the first vent 315, the first vent pipe 213, and the first micro-vacuum balancing valve 214, the water inlet channel 312 can be connected to the external airflow, achieving internal and external air pressure balance, thereby eliminating air bubbles generated in the water inlet channel 312 during operation. The stator disk 310 is also provided with a second vent hole 316 extending from its edge to both axial ends. A second vent pipe 215 is provided on the side housing 220 of the housing assembly 200. The second vent pipe 215 extends from the outside of the side housing 220 into the inner cavity of the middle housing 210, and the inner end of the second vent pipe 215 communicates with the second vent hole 316. A second micro-vacuum balancing valve 216 is installed at the outer end of the second vent pipe 215. Through the second vent hole 316, the second vent pipe 215, and the second micro-vacuum balancing valve 216, the drain channel 321 can be connected to the external airflow, achieving internal and external air pressure balance, thereby eliminating air bubbles generated in the drain channel 321 during operation. Since air bubbles in the inlet channel 312 and the drain channel 321 can be eliminated, cavitation on the surface of the stator disk 310 and rotor laminations 420 can be effectively reduced or avoided, improving the cavitation resistance of the orifice-disc type hydraulic dynamometer and extending its service life. In this example, a cavitation detection rod 221 is installed on each of the two side housings 220 of the housing assembly 200. The inner ends of the two cavitation detection rods 221 are located at the two ends of the stator assembly 300, respectively, and can monitor the cavitation phenomenon on the stator disk 310.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 15The high-speed contact sealing structure mounted on the rotating shaft 410 includes a contact sealing assembly 900 and a water-slinging ring 1000. The contact sealing assembly 900 includes a fixed sealing seat 910, a sealing bushing 920, a spring seat 930, a retaining ring 914, and a rotating sealing seat 940. The fixed sealing seat 910 is fixed to the side housing 220 by screws 911. A cooling water hole 912 is provided between the outer ring of the fixed sealing seat 910 and the side housing 220, and a sealing ring 913 is provided between the outer ring of the fixed sealing seat 910 and the side housing 220. The sealing bushing 920 is fixed to the fixed sealing seat 940 by bolts 921. A sealing ring 915 is provided between the inner ring of the sealing seat 910, the sealing bushing 920, and the fixed sealing seat 910; the outer ring of the spring seat 930 mates with the inner ring of the fixed sealing seat 910, and a retaining ring 914 is fixed to the inner ring of the fixed sealing seat 910 to axially position the spring seat 930 between the retaining ring 914 and the sealing bushing 920; the outer ring of the sealing bushing 920 mates with the inner ring of the spring seat 930, and a sealing ring 922 is provided between them; the sealing bushing 920 is provided with a guide pin 923 along its axial direction; the spring seat 930 is provided with a guide pin hole 931 that mates with the guide pin 923; the spring seat... A mounting hole is provided axially on the side of the 930 facing the sealing sleeve 920. A pressure spring 932 is installed in the mounting hole, with its two ends abutting against the spring seat 930 and the sealing sleeve 920, respectively. A sealing stationary ring 933 is nested on the other side of the spring seat 930. The sealing stationary ring 900 is made of silicon carbide, which has wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant properties, ensuring good sealing performance. The rotary sealing seat 940 and the water-slinging ring 1000 are sequentially fitted onto the rotating shaft 410 from the inside to the outside. The rotary sealing seat 940 and the water-slinging ring 1000 are axially positioned by a pin 941 that engages with a hole. A sealing ring 942 is provided between the two, and the sealing bushing 920 is located on the outer ring of the water-slinging ring 1000. The end face of the rotating sealing seat 940 abuts against the end face of the sealing stationary ring 933 on the spring seat 930. The fixed sealing seat 910 is also provided with radial through holes 915 distributed along its circumference. The radial through holes 915 allow the gap between the outer ring of the rotating sealing seat 940 and the inner ring of the fixed sealing seat 910 to communicate with the cooling water hole 912. The surface of the rotating sealing seat 940 is provided with a sealing spray coating. The material of the sealing spray coating is hard chrome. The hardness of the sealing spray coating is greater than HRC55, and it has the advantages of wear resistance and high temperature resistance.

[0066] For this high-speed contact sealing structure, a sealing cooling water inlet channel 222 and a sealing water leakage channel 223 are also provided on the side housing 220. Specifically, the sealing cooling water inlet channel 222 extends from the upper part of the side housing 220 to the cooling water hole 912 on the outer ring of the fixed sealing seat 910, and the sealing water leakage channel 223 extends from the bottom of the side housing 220 to the outer side of the fixed sealing seat 910. The sealing cooling water inlet channel 222 can be connected to a cooling water circulation system to introduce circulating cold water into the cooling water hole 912 to cool the high-speed contact sealing structure. The working principle is that the cold water first enters the cooling water hole 912 through the sealing cooling water inlet channel 222, and then enters the sealing stationary ring 933 and the outer ring of the rotating sealing seat 940 through the radial through hole 915 for radial cooling. The cooled water can enter the inner cavity of the rotor assembly 400 along the shaft 410 axially, and finally exit from the outlet 212 of the housing assembly 200. Furthermore, when the high-speed contact sealing structure fails, water inside the intermediate housing 210 will enter the outer side of the fixed sealing seat 910. The water-throwing ring 1000 will then throw the cooling water outwards and into the sealing water leakage channel 223. Therefore, this high-speed contact sealing structure design can meet the sealing requirements during high-speed rotation, prevent oil and water from mixing, reduce the heat generated by friction through water cooling, and detect leaks in a timely manner when the seal fails.

[0073] Specifically, the force arm assembly 710 includes a brake arm 711, a tension / compression sensor 712, an upper connecting screw 713, and a lower connecting screw 714. The brake arm 711 is fixed to the outer wall of the intermediate housing 210.

[0075] The length adjustment component of the pretension arm assembly 720 includes a mounting plate 721, a load-bearing plate 722, a guide seat 723, and a guide rod 724. The elastic energy storage component is a tension spring 725. The mounting plate 721 is fixed to the outer wall of the intermediate housing 210. The load-bearing plate 722 and the guide seat 723 are fixed to the mounting plate 721 from top to bottom. The guide rod 724 is slidably mounted on the guide seat 723.

The two ends of the tension spring 725 are connected between the lower end of the guide rod 724 and the support seat 110 through hooks.

[0076] The working principle of the calibration device 700 is as follows: the pre-tensioning arm assembly 720 can serve as an auxiliary device to improve the calibration accuracy of the calibration device 700. During installation, the force-measuring arm assembly 710 and the pre-tensioning arm assembly 720 are installed first, followed by the calibration arm assembly 730 for calibration. After the force-measuring arm assembly 710 and the pre-tensioning arm assembly 720 are installed, the guide rod 724 can be adjusted on the guide seat 723 by turning the adjusting nut 726, thereby adjusting the tension of the tension spring 725 and achieving the purpose of adjusting the pre-tension force of the tension spring 725. The damping produced by the force-measuring arm assembly 710 on the housing assembly 200 can also be adjusted, thus ensuring the accuracy of subsequent calibration. During the calibration process, by turning the upper adjusting nut 734 or the lower adjusting nut 736 on the calibration arm assembly 730, the disc spring can apply static calibration pressure or tension to the force transmission rod 733. The magnitude of the static calibration force can be displayed by the force sensor 731. The static calibration force is compared with the value displayed by the tension / compression sensor 712 on the force arm assembly 710. After measuring several sets of data, the tension / compression sensor 712 can be calibrated through the calibration procedure.

[0077] The calibration device 700 has a wide calibrable torque range, which can meet the testing needs of high-power, high-speed rotating machinery. Through the upper and lower adjusting nuts and the disc spring of the calibration arm assembly 730, it can achieve stepless adjustment of the static calibration force.
