[0052] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0053] The present embodiment introduces a power attenuation evaluation method for a turboshaft engine, comprising: obtaining data, inputting the turboshaft engine use data of multiple flights of a helicopter into a controller, and the controller identifies and extracts the sustained level flight segment data of each flight of the helicopter; data calculation, the controller calculates the calibration value P of the shaft output power of the sustained level flight segment data of each flight of the helicopter according to the sustained level flight segment data of each flight of the helicopter obtained in the obtaining data step; determining the calibration value M of the engine performance parameter of each flight of the helicopter according to the calibration value P of the shaft output power of each flight of the helicopter obtained in the data calculation step; determining the actual running time t of the turboshaft engine of each flight of the helicopter; and determining the parameter point (P, M, t) of each flight according to the calibration value P of the shaft output power, the calibration value M of the engine performance parameter, and the actual running time t of the turboshaft engine of each flight.​_ Fitted curve between the actual operating time t of the turboshaft engine and the actual operating time t; performance evaluation, the controller uses the fitted curve to evaluate the power decay of the turboshaft engine.

[0054] Furthermore, during the sustained level flight phase of the helicopter, the output shaft power of the turboshaft engine remains basically stable.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the actual operating time t refers to the total flight time of the helicopter from the start of delivery and use to the end of the continuous level flight segment recorded for this flight, in hours.

[0056] Furthermore, the controller is equipped with an identification module and a calculation module. The controller receives usage data of the turboshaft engine under various flight training and real-world operating environments. The identification module identifies and extracts data from the helicopter's continuous level flight phase. The calculation module obtains this data and calculates the calibration value P of the shaft output power for each flight's continuous level flight phase based on this data. sh_ And the calibration value M of engine performance parameters _ .

[0057] Furthermore, in the parameter point verification step, the reference axis output power P set in the controller... sh_ Based on the calibration value P of the output power of multiple axes sh_ The determination principle is to select the calibration value P of the output power of most axes. sh_ The calibration value P of the shaft output power within the concentration range of the numerical value. sh_ The value, and the calibration value P of the shaft output power in the aggregation section. sh_ The average value is calculated and used as the reference axis output power P. sh_ The evaluation value M of the engine performance parameter in the evaluation parameter point. _ The calibration value P for the shaft output power sh_ Converted to reference axis output power P sh_ Calibration value M of engine performance parameters _ The converted value.

However, bench test data differs significantly from the actual conditions after helicopter delivery. Therefore, evaluating turboshaft engine power attenuation using bench test data typically results in a large discrepancy between the current assessment and the actual power attenuation observed in use. This embodiment utilizes turboshaft engine usage data from various flight training and real-world operating environments in its data acquisition step, thereby reducing the error between the evaluation results and actual usage results.

[0061]

[0062] Where: P0 is the standard ambient atmospheric pressure, P H T represents the actual atmospheric pressure, T0 represents the standard ambient temperature, and T represents the actual atmospheric pressure. H This represents the actual atmospheric static temperature.

[0066] Preferably, the engine performance parameter includes the gas turbine speed N g ; the data calculation step includes that the controller calculates the average value N g′ of the gas turbine speed of each flight of the helicopter sustained flat flight section data according to the data obtained in the data acquisition step, and the controller calculates the calibrated value N g′ of the gas turbine speed according to the average value N g_cor of the gas turbine speed.

[0067] The calculation formula of the calibrated value N g_cor of the gas turbine speed is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, T0 is the standard ambient temperature, and T H is the actual atmospheric static temperature.

[0070] Further, in the parameter point determination step, the controller determines the parameter point (P sh_ , N g_cor , t) of each flight according to the calibrated value P sh_ of the shaft output power and the calibrated value N g_cor of the gas turbine speed of each flight calculated in the data calculation step, and the actual running time t of the turbine shaft engine of each flight.

[0071] In the parameter point checking step, the controller calculates the evaluation parameter point

[0072] Preferably, the engine performance parameter includes the turbine inter gas temperature T 45 ; the data calculation step includes that the controller calculates the average value T 45′ of the turbine inter gas temperature of each flight of the helicopter sustained flat flight section data according to the data obtained in the data acquisition step, and the controller calculates the calibrated value T 45′ of the turbine inter gas temperature according to the average value T 45_cor of the turbine inter gas temperature.

[0073] The calculation formula of the calibrated value T 45_cor of the turbine inter gas temperature is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula: T0 is the standard ambient temperature, T H This represents the actual atmospheric static temperature.

[0076] Furthermore, in the parameter point determination step, the controller calculates the calibration value P of the shaft output power for each flight based on the data calculation step. sh_ The calibration value T of the gas temperature between the turbine and the turbine 45_ And the actual operating time t of the turboshaft engine for each sortie, to determine the parameter point (P) for each sortie. sh_ T 45_ ,t);

The shaft output power calibration value P1 at the first parameter point is converted to the value using an empirical formula. The turbine inter-gas temperature calibration value T1 is simultaneously converted, and the shaft output power calibration value P2 at the second parameter point is converted to the correct value using an empirical formula. The turbine inter-gas temperature calibration value T2 is simultaneously converted, while the actual usage time t at the parameter point remains unchanged. Therefore, the output power P can be obtained with the actual usage time t as the x-axis and the reference axis as the y-axis. sh_ Turbocharger inter-gas temperature assessment value T 45_ Power decay assessment plot for turboshaft engines with the vertical axis as the ordinate (e.g.) Figure 2 (As shown). Based on the converted reference axis output power P sh_ Evaluation parameter points (M) _ ,t) Calculate and obtain the evaluation value M of the engine performance parameters under the reference shaft output power. _ Fitted curve between the actual operating time t of the turboshaft engine and the actual operating time t; performance evaluation, the controller uses the fitted curve to evaluate the power decay of the turboshaft engine.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, based on the characteristics of turboshaft engines, a key indicator reflecting the performance of turboshaft engines is selected: gas turbine speed N. g and turbine gas temperature T 45, establish a turbo-shaft engine performance comprehensive evaluation index system, create an evaluation method for key indicators to obtain the actual turbo-shaft engine performance comprehensive evaluation results, evaluate its support for flight training and tasks, and the evaluation results have high accuracy.

[0080] Preferably, in the fitting curve step, the controller obtains the evaluation value M sh_ of the engine performance parameter under the reference shaft output power according to the evaluation parameter point (M _ , t) under the condition of the plurality of flight cycles by using a linear least square method. _ The fitting curve between the evaluation value M _ and the actual running time t of the turbo-shaft engine specifically includes the following steps.

[0081] The fitting model is set as y = a0 + a1x in the controller.

[0082] The evaluation parameter point (M i , t) has n, and the controller obtains n points (x0, y0), (x1, y1)…(x i , y n )…(x n , y T ), n ≥ k.

[0083] The controller calculates the sum of squared deviations.

[0084] The controller takes the partial derivative of the sum of squared deviations, and when the partial derivative is equal to zero, the sum of squared deviations is minimum.

[0085] The controller uses a stochastic gradient descent or Newton method to obtain the coefficient matrix [a0, a1] when the sum of squared deviations is minimum. _ Then the fitting curve between the evaluation value M sh_ and the actual running time t of the turbo-shaft engine is obtained.

[0086] Preferably, in the performance evaluation step, the controller identifies and extracts the engine maturation period data of each flight cycle, and the controller evaluates the engine maturation period data of each flight cycle by using the fitting curve to determine whether the turbo-shaft engine power attenuation meets the standard.

[0087] Preferably, in the data acquisition step, the controller identifies and extracts the helicopter sustained level flight segment data of each flight cycle, and the data calculation step includes the following steps. _ In the data calculation step, the controller calculates the calibration value P sh_ of the shaft output power and the calibration value M _ of the engine performance parameter of each flight cycle according to the multi-segment helicopter sustained level flight segment data of each flight cycle. sh_and calibration values M of a plurality of engine performance parameters _ , and the actual running time t of the turbine shaft engine of each flight, a plurality of parameter points (P sh_ , M _ , t) of each flight are determined; the controller averages the parameters in the plurality of parameter points (P sh_ , M _ , t) of each flight with the same actual running time t, and the controller performs parameter point checking on the parameter points (P sh_ , M _ , t) after averaging the parameters.

[0088] Further, it can be understood that the helicopter sustained level flight segment data of each flight in the embodiment includes multiple segments, and the multiple segments of helicopter sustained level flight segment data correspond to obtain a plurality of parameter points (P sh_ , M _ , t). For example, the time of the first level flight segment is t1 hours t 11 minutes to t1 hours t 12 minutes, and the parameter point corresponding to the first level flight segment is (P1, T1, t1); the time of the second level flight segment is t1 hours t 13 minutes to t1 hours t 14 minutes, and the parameter point corresponding to the second level flight segment is (P2, T2, t1), the time in the parameter point corresponding to the first level flight segment is the same as the time in the parameter point corresponding to the second level flight segment, and the parameters in the parameter point corresponding to the first level flight segment and the parameters in the parameter point corresponding to the second level flight segment can be averaged to obtain a parameter point parameter point which enters the subsequent parameter point checking step.

[0089] Further, the turbine shaft engine usage power decay evaluation method in the embodiment can be used to evaluate the turbine shaft engine usage power decay in special environments.
