Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular relates to a ram air valve, a ram air valve reinforcement rib design method, and an aircraft air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The ram air valve provides a cooling channel for the heat exchanger in the aircraft's air cycle machine, allowing the heat exchanger to cool the compressor and turbine inlet air through convective heat transfer. The ram air valve primarily consists of a check valve, guide vanes, and a casing. The ram air valve is installed with the corresponding air cycle machine and heat exchanger. When the aircraft is on the ground, the ram air valve primarily collects air for the fan and provides an exhaust duct. After takeoff, the incoming ram air pressure is sufficient to open the check valve on the inner tube, allowing some ram air to be discharged directly through the check valve. Because the upstream heat exchanger directly acts on the ram air valve, and the ram air valve is connected to the air cycle machine only by clamps, it is essential to ensure that the composite material ram air valve has the structural strength required for reliable operation of the equipment.

[0003] To improve the structural strength of the ram air valve, conventional techniques often employ adhesive rivets to form corresponding reinforcement ribs on the wall of the ram air valve. However, this method of forming reinforcement ribs may cause premature damage to the base material of the ram air valve and material delamination. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a ram air valve, a ram air valve reinforcement rib design method, and an aircraft air conditioner, which can solve the technical problem in the prior art of using a glue riveting process to form reinforcement ribs on ram air valves, resulting in pre-damage to the base material and material delamination.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a ram air valve, comprising:

[0006] a housing having a heat exchanger duct housing cooperatively connected to a hot-side end face of the heat exchanger and a fan duct housing cooperatively connected to an end face of a fan volute of the air cycle machine, wherein the cross section of the fan duct housing is circular;

[0007] The heat exchanger air duct housing includes a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall parallel to the radial plane of the fan air duct housing and spaced apart from each other. The heat exchanger air duct housing also includes a first side wall and a second side wall connected between the first vertical wall and the second vertical wall and arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The first side wall and the second side wall are integrally formed with reinforcing ribs.

[0008] In some embodiments,

[0009] The reinforcing ribs are molded on the heat exchanger air duct shell; and / or the reinforcing ribs protrude from the outer wall surface of the heat exchanger air duct shell.

[0010] In some embodiments,

[0011] Two reinforcing ribs are respectively provided on the first side wall and the second side wall. The first side wall has a symmetry plane parallel to the first vertical wall. The two reinforcing ribs are symmetrical about the symmetry plane, and the length extension direction of each reinforcing rib is parallel to the height extension direction of the first vertical wall.

[0012] In some embodiments,

[0013] The spacing distance between the two reinforcing ribs respectively provided on the first side wall and the second side wall is L, where L=80±5 mm.

[0014] In some embodiments,

[0015] Projected on the outer wall surface of the first side wall, the reinforcing rib has an oblong shape.

[0016] In some embodiments,

[0017] The oblong shape includes a straight line segment in the middle and semicircular segments at both ends of the straight line segment. The cross section of the reinforcing rib corresponding to the straight line segment is semicircular.

[0018] In some embodiments,

[0019] An XOY coordinate system is established with the intersection of the first vertical wall, the first side wall and the fan duct shell as the coordinate origin O, the intersection line of the first vertical wall and the first side wall as the Y-axis, and the intersection line of the first side wall and the fan duct shell as the X-axis. The first symmetry line of the two reinforcing ribs on the first side wall is parallel to the Y-axis, and the spacing between the first symmetry line of the reinforcing rib close to the Y-axis and the Y-axis is S02, S02=70±5mm; and / or, the second symmetry line of the two reinforcing ribs on the first side wall is parallel to the X-axis, and the spacing between the second symmetry line of each of the two reinforcing ribs and the X-axis is S01, S01=120±10mm; and / or, the length of the straight segment of each reinforcing rib is S03, S03=130±10mm; and / or, the radius of the semicircular segment of each reinforcing rib is S04, S04=15±5mm.

[0020] In some embodiments, the thickness of the reinforcing rib is S05, where S05 = 3±2 mm.

[0021] The present invention also provides a method for designing a ram air valve reinforcement rib, comprising the following steps:

[0022] Construct simulation models of the ram air valve, heat exchanger, and air cycle machine in structural mechanics simulation software;

[0023] Determining the stress distribution of the ram air valve under the load of the heat exchanger through simulation;

[0024] According to the obtained stress distribution, two regions of the model with the largest stress are selected and recorded as region A and region B;

[0025] Adjust the spacing L between the two reinforcing ribs, obtain the model maximum stress value, model maximum displacement value, average maximum stress value of area A, and average maximum stress value of area B of the simulation model corresponding to different spacing Ls, and draw the corresponding change areas and display them in the same view;

[0026] The preferred value of the spacing L between the two reinforcing ribs is obtained according to the view.

[0027] The present invention also provides an aircraft air conditioner comprising the ram air valve.

[0028] The present invention provides a ram air valve, a ram air valve reinforcement rib design method, and an aircraft air conditioner, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0029] Unlike the prior art method of connecting reinforcing ribs on the outer wall of the heat exchanger air duct shell by glue riveting, the reinforcing ribs of the present invention are integrally formed on the first side wall and the second side wall. This eliminates the damage to the base material of the heat exchanger air duct shell caused by the setting of reinforcing ribs, prevents the delamination of the material, improves its ability to withstand the vertical load applied by the heat exchanger, etc., reduces the deformation displacement under the same load, and thus improves the service life of the component.

[0053] See also Figure 1and Figure 10 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a ram air valve is provided, comprising: an outer shell 10, the outer shell 10 having a heat exchanger duct shell 11 that is connected to the hot side end face of the heat exchanger 100 and a fan duct shell 12 that is connected to the end face of the fan volute of the air cycle machine 200, the cross section of the fan duct shell 12 being circular; an inner shell 3 is mounted inside the outer shell 10, an annular flow channel is formed between the outer shell 10 and the inner shell 3, the annular flow channel is connected to the flow outlet of the heat exchanger duct shell 12, the inner shell 3 has a first airflow outlet that is concentric with a port on one side of the outer shell 10, the first airflow outlet is provided with a guide vane, the inner shell 3 also has a second airflow outlet that is away from the first airflow outlet, and is connected to the heat exchanger 100. The heated airflow can be guided by the heat exchanger duct housing 11 through the fan duct housing 12 to the air inlet of the fan volute of the air cycle machine 200, and driven by the fan 201 assembled in the fan volute, it is discharged from the air outlet of the fan volute to the aforementioned first airflow outlet, and then finally discharged through the second airflow outlet; the heat exchanger duct housing 11 includes a first vertical wall 111 and a second vertical wall 112 that are parallel to the radial plane of the fan duct housing 12 and spaced apart from each other, and the heat exchanger duct housing 11 also includes a first side wall 113 and a second side wall (not shown in the figure) connected between the first vertical wall 111 and the second vertical wall 112 and arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first side wall 113 and the second side wall are integrally formed with reinforcing ribs 2.

[0054] In this technical solution, unlike the prior art method of connecting reinforcing ribs on the outer wall surface of the heat exchanger air duct shell 11 by glue riveting, the reinforcing ribs 2 of the present invention are integrally formed on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall. This eliminates the damage to the base material of the heat exchanger air duct shell 11 caused by the setting of the reinforcing ribs 2, prevents the delamination of the material, improves its ability to withstand the vertical load applied by the heat exchanger 100, etc., reduces the deformation displacement under the same load, and thus improves the service life of the component.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 2 are molded on the heat exchanger air duct shell 11. Specifically, the shell 10 is molded by glass fiber + epoxy resin, and the manufacturing process is simple.

[0056] The reinforcing ribs 2 protrude from the outer wall of the heat exchanger air duct housing 11 to prevent the inner bulge from increasing the resistance of the fluid in the ram air valve.

[0057] In a specific embodiment,

[0058] Two reinforcing ribs 2 are respectively provided on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall. The first side wall 113 has a symmetry plane parallel to the first vertical wall 111. The two reinforcing ribs 2 are symmetrical about the symmetry plane, and the length extension direction of each reinforcing rib 2 is parallel to the height extension direction of the first vertical wall 111.

[0059] In this technical solution, two reinforcing ribs 2 are provided on each of the first side wall 113 and the second side wall, respectively. This ensures that the corresponding side walls have a high structural strength (rigidity) without significantly increasing the overall mass, thereby facilitating the lightweight design of the ram air valve of the present invention. It should be noted that, in one specific embodiment, the housing 10 is comprised of two structurally symmetrical halves that are assembled together to form a single unit. That is, in actual production, the first side wall 113 and the second side wall are located on two different halves, but their structures are mirror-image symmetrical.

[0060] The inventors have found that the distance L between the two reinforcing ribs 2 respectively provided on the first side wall 113 and the second side wall will affect the maximum stress and deformation displacement of the entire housing 10. The inventors have found that when L = 80 ± 5 mm, see Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the L value has a minimum or smaller value for the maximum stress and maximum displacement in different areas. Taking into account the overall situation, when the L distance is 80±5mm, the ram air valve has lower stress concentration and structural deformation.

[0061] See also Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rib 2 is projected onto the outer wall surface of the first side wall 113 in an oblong shape. Ribs 2 with this shape have arc-shaped end surfaces, which are less likely to cause stress concentration and more easily disperse stress along the arc and arc surface. Specifically, the oblong shape includes a straight line segment in the middle and semicircular segments at both ends of the straight line segment. The cross-section of the rib 2 corresponding to the straight line segment is semicircular, which maximizes the stress-bearing area of ​​the rib 2 while effectively preventing stress concentration thereon.

[0062] See further Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments,

[0063] An XOY coordinate system is established with the intersection of the first vertical wall 111, the first side wall 113, and the fan duct housing 12 as the coordinate origin O, the intersection line of the first vertical wall 111 and the first side wall 113 as the Y axis, and the intersection line of the first side wall 113 and the fan duct housing 12 as the X axis. The first symmetry lines of the two reinforcing ribs 2 on the first side wall 113 are parallel to the Y axis, and the distance between the first symmetry line of the reinforcing rib 2 close to the Y axis and the Y axis is S02, S02=70. ±5mm; and / or, the second symmetry lines of the two reinforcing ribs 2 on the first side wall 113 are parallel to the X-axis, and the spacing between the second symmetry lines of each of the two reinforcing ribs 2 and the X-axis is S01, S01=120±10mm; and / or, the length of the straight segment of each reinforcing rib 2 is S03, S03=130±10mm; and / or, the radius of the semicircular segment of each reinforcing rib 2 is S04, S04=15±5mm; the thickness of the reinforcing rib 2 is S05, S05=3±2mm.

[0064] The selection and design of the aforementioned dimensional parameters can minimize the use of materials while meeting the structural stiffness requirements, that is, the design of the reinforcing rib 2 of the present invention follows the principle of minimum mass.

[0065] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The stress distribution cloud diagrams of the structure without reinforcement ribs (i.e., the prior art) and the structure with reinforcement ribs (i.e., the technical solution of the present invention) are shown in FIG. The total load is applied to the hot side outlet of the heat exchanger, i.e., the load surface. The structure without reinforcement ribs has a maximum stress concentration value of 116.639 MPa at the hot side outlet of the heat exchanger. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, under the same loading condition, the rib structure also has a maximum stress concentration value of 110.400 MPa at the hot side outlet of the heat exchanger, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 As shown; Figure 7 and Figure 8 Displacement distribution cloud plots for the rib-free and rib-equipped structures are shown. The rib-free structure exhibits a maximum displacement of 0.824mm at the hot edge outlet of the heat exchanger, while the rib-equipped structure exhibits a maximum displacement of 0.768mm. This demonstrates that the rib design employed in the aforementioned technical solution effectively improves the stress response of the ram air valve and reduces deformation under additional load.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for designing a ram air valve reinforcement rib is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0067] A simulation model of the ram air valve, the heat exchanger 100, and the air cycle machine 200 is constructed in a structural mechanics simulation software. The structural mechanics simulation software may be conventional finite element analysis software such as Ansys or Comsol xxxx.

[0068] The stress distribution of the ram air valve under the load of the heat exchanger 100 is obtained through simulation;

[0069] According to the stress distribution obtained, the two areas where the model is subjected to the greatest stress are selected and recorded as area A and area B, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown;

[0070] Adjust the spacing L between the two reinforcing ribs 2, obtain the model maximum stress value, model maximum displacement value, average maximum stress value of area A and average maximum stress value of area B of the simulation model corresponding to different spacing L, and draw the corresponding change areas and display them in the same view at the same time, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 10 As shown;

[0071] The preferred value of the spacing L between the two reinforcing ribs 2 is obtained according to the view.

[0072] This design solution can take into account the spacing L between the two reinforcing ribs 2 and provide a minimum or smaller value for the maximum stress and maximum displacement in different areas, ultimately ensuring that the ram air valve has lower stress concentration and structural deformation.

[0073] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the two areas with the largest force on the model are divided into area A and area B. Figure 10 The figure shows that the model's maximum stress and displacement both reach their minimums when the rib spacing L ranges from 40 to 210 mm. The average maximum stress in region A reaches a clear inflection point at L = 80 mm, where the stress is at its minimum. The average maximum stress in region B reaches its minimum stress and displacement at 70 mm. Therefore, considering all factors, a rib spacing of 80 mm is optimal for reducing stress concentration and deformation in thin-walled parts such as ram air valves.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an aircraft air conditioner comprising the aforementioned ram air valve.

[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and variations without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and such improvements and variations shall also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
