Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a simulation method, in particular to a simulation method for the installation, cutting and unscrewing of a self-locking nut assembly without an ear support plate, and belongs to the technical field of fasteners. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the aerospace industry, fasteners, known as the "rice of industry", have received more and more attention from the country and enterprises. As a connection node for transmitting loads, its reliability is extremely important to the safe service of the entire structure and equipment. The aerospace industry has continuously increased its requirements for the long life and lightweight of fastening connection structures. The pallet nut is a very important type of fastener, often used in conjunction with self-locking nuts, and is suitable for narrow areas, closed structures, or areas that require frequent disassembly and assembly. Traditional pallet nuts are connected to the overall structure through rivets. Excessive rivet holes and rivets not only destroy the consistency of the original equipment structure, increase the risk of fatigue damage to the equipment, but also have a great impact on the weight of the equipment.

[0003] The new earless support plate generates plastic strain through cold extrusion, and is then squeezed onto the mounting plate. The installation method without rivets not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the weight of the overall equipment. At the same time, the cold extrusion installation method can generate residual compressive stress in a certain area of ​​the hole wall radially, effectively delaying the initiation and expansion of fatigue cracks, and achieving the demand for long life.

[0004] Compared with the traditional rivet-assembled tray nuts, the earless tray self-locking nut fastening assembly is more prone to slip failure when subjected to torque load. At present, the research method of earless tray self-locking nut fastening assembly mainly relies on experimental research. By processing earless tray self-locking nut fastening assemblies of different sizes, the experiment is carried out to explore the influence of the size of the earless tray self-locking nut fastening assembly on its fastening performance. However, the experimental research method is relatively cumbersome, time-consuming and costly, and it cannot expose the structural design deficiencies of the earless tray self-locking nut fastening assembly. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out multi-process simulation of the earless tray self-locking nut fastening assembly to analyze its fastening performance. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing methods that rely on experiments to determine the unscrewing force data, a small number of experiments are used to help determine the friction coefficient in the finite element simulation model, and an approximate linear model of the friction coefficient is established, covering the friction coefficient under all sizes, thereby improving the effectiveness and accuracy of the simulation of the finite element simulation model. Using the finite element method, a multi-process simulation method for the installation, cutting and unscrewing of earless tray self-locking nut assemblies is provided, which accurately and efficiently predicts the ultimate unscrewing force of earless tray self-locking nut fastening assemblies under various sizes, and provides a reliable basis for the selection of models and sizes of earless tray self-locking nut fastening assemblies in engineering.

[0056] Example

[0057] The simulation method of the multiple processes of installation, cutting and unscrewing of the earless support plate self-locking nut assembly of the present invention is specifically described below with reference to an application example.

[0058] (1) Select a self-locking nut fastening assembly without ear support plate, and obtain the structural parameters and material parameters of the assembly. The structural parameters include the geometric size information of the earless support plate, the mounting plate, the core rod and the bushing. The core rod diameter is 7.36 mm; the bushing thickness is 0.17 mm; the inner wall diameter of the earless support plate is 7.40 mm, and the outer wall diameter is 10.29 mm; the hole diameter d and the plate thickness h of the mounting plate have certain range requirements, and the hole diameter d can vary from 10.30 mm to 10.36 mm, and the plate thickness h can vary from 1.96 mm to 3.20 mm. The material parameters of the self-locking nut fastening assembly without ear support plate include density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield limit and hardening modulus.

[0059] (2) Before the twist-off test, the cold extrusion installation and cutting process of the earless support plate assembly is first performed. Figure 2As shown. After cold extrusion installation, the inner wall material of the earless support plate will undergo plastic flow at the slit of the bushing, forming a ridge on the inner wall, and the inner wall of the hole needs to be cut and polished to make it smooth. After cold extrusion and cutting are completed, the QBN200-L testing machine can be used to test the unscrewing force of the earless support plate nut fastening assembly, and record the ultimate unscrewing force data when the assembly fails due to slippage. Figure 3 Four groups of unscrewing force tests were carried out under four different sizes, including maximum aperture and maximum plate thickness, maximum aperture and minimum plate thickness, minimum aperture and maximum plate thickness, and minimum aperture and minimum plate thickness. Each group of tests had 5 specimens in total, and the unscrewing force data are shown in Table 1.

[0060] Table 1 Twist-off force test data

[0061]

[0062] (3) Use Solidworks to model the earless bracket self-locking nut fastening component, such as Figure 4 As shown, since the slit bushing and retaining spring have little effect on subsequent simulations, directly building a complete model will complicate meshing. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the modeling of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly. The retaining spring is ignored during modeling, and the bushing thickness is considered within the core rod diameter. The main structural parts of the complete model are: earless support plate, mounting plate and core rod. After the modeling is completed, the model is imported into Abaqus, and the material parameters are entered. The earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly is meshed, and the C3D8R mesh unit is selected for the mesh. The mesh of the contact area between the earless support plate and the mounting plate is refined. The finite element mesh is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0063] (4) Apply contact conditions and load constraint conditions for cold extrusion installation to the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly, where the normal contact between the mandrel and the earless support plate is hard contact, the tangential contact is friction contact, and the friction coefficient is 0.1; the normal contact between the earless support plate and the mounting plate is hard contact, the tangential contact is friction contact, and the friction coefficient is determined by unscrewing test and simulation back-stepping. Apply boundary conditions to the established earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly, and apply a vertical downward displacement to the mandrel to control the cold extrusion process and simulate the installation process of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly. Boundary conditions such as Figure 6 shown.

[0064] (5) Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the birth and death unit method is used to simulate the inner wall cutting process of the earless support plate. After the cold extrusion is completed, the unit layer to be cut is directly killed. The thickness of the birth and death unit is consistent with the actual cutting thickness to ensure that the final hole diameter of the earless support plate before twisting off is consistent. The inner wall cutting thickness of this model of earless support plate is 0.2975mm.

[0065] (6) The friction coefficient between the earless support plate and the mounting plate is inferred by combining experiments with simulation. The specific inference method of the friction coefficient is as follows: 1. Using the four sets of unscrewing force test data measured in the pre-simulation test, different friction coefficients are set during the simulation and the unscrewing simulation process is repeated multiple times, so that the unscrewing force value calculated by the simulation is equal to the average value of each set of test data, and the friction coefficient between the mounting plate and the earless support plate under four different sizes is determined; 2. Using the friction coefficient value obtained by inference, an approximate linear model of the friction coefficient is established. The linear approximate model of the friction coefficient can cover the friction coefficient between the mounting plate and the earless support plate under all apertures and plate thicknesses, and then simulate the unscrewing force.

[0066] (7) Input the friction coefficient obtained by reverse calculation and simulate the unscrewing force of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly. The constraints are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, fixed constraints are applied to the two opposite sides of the mounting plate. When the torsion load is applied, the contact area between the earless support plate and the self-locking nut is coupled to the middle reference point RP-1, and the torsion is applied to the point RP-1 in the form of an angle. The unscrewing force curve of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly is output, as shown in Fig. 9 As shown, the ultimate unscrewing force data of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly when slipping failure occurs is recorded.

[0067] (8) By changing the size of the mounting plate in the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly, the ultimate unscrewing force of the earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assembly of different sizes can be predicted using the approximate linear model of the friction coefficient. By comparing with the subsequent 4 groups of unscrewing force tests of earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assemblies of different sizes, as shown in Table 2, it is proved that this method can accurately predict the ultimate unscrewing force of earless support plate self-locking nut fastening assemblies of different sizes based on a small number of tests, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing test costs. At the same time, it also confirms the feasibility and accuracy of the multi-process simulation method of installation, cutting and unscrewing of the earless support plate self-locking nut assembly.
