DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] An aero-engine unbalance fault simulation test device, like Figure 1, including a driving connecting disc 1, a rotating shaft 2 and an unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3. The driving connecting disc 1 and the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 are coaxially arranged, one end of the rotating shaft 2 is connected with the driving connecting disc 1, the middle part is connected with the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3, and the other end is provided with a roller bearing mounting seat 4, and the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a ball bearing mounting seat 5 corresponding to the position between the driving connecting disc 1 and the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3. The driving connecting disc 1 is connected with the power equipment of the test device, and the ball bearing mounting seat 5 and the roller bearing mounting seat 4 are used to support the rotating shaft 2. The unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 is provided with a fixing device 6 between the rotating shaft 2, and the fixing device 6 can be used to fix the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 by means of bolts, pins and the like.

[0035] The unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 is the core element of the application, and the principle of the unbalance amount exerted by the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 is to change the unbalance amount by moving the liquid.

[0036] As Figures 2-4 , the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 comprises a disc body 7 and an installation cylinder 8 capable of containing liquid. The disc body 7 is provided with a through hole in the middle part, and the through hole is fixed to the rotating shaft 2 through the fixing device 6. A plurality of groups of threaded holes 16 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the disc body 7, and the outer ends of the threaded holes 16 are located at the outer edges of the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3, and the inner ends extend into the interior of the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3. The inner end of the threaded hole 16 is provided with a hexagonal installation groove 17.

[0037] The installation cylinder 8 has a plurality of groups, and the installation cylinder 8 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 16. One end of the installation cylinder 8 is in the shape of a hexagonal bolt head, and the inside of the installation cylinder 8 is provided with coaxially arranged inner and outer cavities 9 and 10. The inner and outer cavities 9 and 10 are in communication with each other, and the inner and outer cavities 9 and 10 are both provided with internal threads.

[0038] The installation cylinder 8 is provided with an inner plug 11, an outer plug 12 and a conical sealing plug 13. The internal threads in the inner cavity 9 cooperate with the inner plug 11 and the installation groove 17, and the internal threads in the outer cavity 10 cooperate with the outer plug 12. The end of the outer cavity 10 close to the inner cavity 9 is provided with a conical cavity, and the conical sealing plug 13 is inserted into the conical cavity.

[0039] The outer diameter of the conical sealing plug 13 and the inner diameter of the outer cavity 10 are in small gap cooperation, and the conical angle α of the conical sealing plug 13 is consistent with the conical angle α of the conical cavity. The conical surface has high surface finish, and the outer conical surface of the conical sealing plug 13 is provided with a plurality of grooves in the circumferential direction. The conical sealing plug 13 is provided with a spring 14 on the outside, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer cavity 10. Under the elastic force of the spring 14, the conical sealing plug 13 effectively seals the connection part of the outer cavity 10 and the inner cavity 9.

[0040] The inner cavity 9 is filled with liquid, preferably water, and other liquids, when the inner cavity 9 is filled with liquid, the conical sealing plug 13 is blocked by the elastic force of the spring 14, so that the liquid does not overflow; only when the centrifugal force of the conical sealing plug 13 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 14, the liquid can flow from the inner cavity 9 to the outer cavity 10, realizing the sudden change of the rotor imbalance.

[0041] The centrifugal force of the conical sealing plug 13 is controlled by the rotating speed of the imbalance mutation rotating disc 3, when the rotating speed reaches a certain value, the centrifugal force of the conical sealing plug 13 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 14, realizing the change of the imbalance. The rotating speed change of the imbalance mutation rotating disc can be stably controlled during the rotor movement to meet the sudden change of the imbalance caused by the local elastic deformation of the aero-engine, the change of the bolt connection tightness, the local structure of the rotor and the heat caused by the collision, so as to realize the influence and vibration characteristic test research purpose of the sudden change of the imbalance to the rotor system.

[0042] As Figures 5-7 In order to improve the sealing performance, a step surface is arranged on the threaded bottom of the outer cavity 10 corresponding to the outer plug cover 12, and a sealing rubber ring 15 is sleeved on the step surface to improve the sealing performance. In order to ensure that the sealing rubber ring 15 can play a role, the gap value between the threaded length L6 of the outer plug cover 12 and the threaded length L3 of the outer cavity 10 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the sealing rubber ring 15.

[0043] In order to ensure the sealing performance of the inner cavity 9, the threaded length L4 of the inner plug cover 11 is smaller than the threaded length L2 in the inner cavity 9; and the total length L5 of the inner plug cover 11 is smaller than the length of the installation groove 17, so as to facilitate the installation of L1.

[0044] As a specific embodiment, it also includes an aero-engine imbalance fault simulation test method, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] 1. The imbalance mutation rotating disc 3 is fixed on the rotating shaft 2 through the fixing device 6, the driving connecting disc 1 is installed on the power equipment, the ball bearing mounting seat 5 and the roller bearing mounting seat 4 are fixed to the rotating shaft 2, the ball bearing and the roller bearing are respectively installed on the ball bearing mounting seat 5 and the roller bearing mounting seat 4, and the ball bearing and the roller bearing are respectively installed on the ball bearing mounting seat 5 and the roller bearing mounting seat 4. The outer side of the ball bearing and the roller bearing is connected with the support.

[0046] 2. The inner plug cover 11 and the installation cylinder 8 are installed in the threaded hole 16 on one side.

[0047] 3. Rotate the test shaft manually, and install the outer plug cover 12 installation hole direction of the side of the rotating disc on which only the installation cylinder 8 and the inner plug cover 11 are installed upward;

[0048] 4, Inject a certain amount of water into the inner cavity 9 of the installation cylinder 8 (as shown); Figure 8

[0049] 5, Install the conical sealing plug 13, spring 14, sealing rubber ring 15 and outer plug cover 12 in turn (note that at this time, try not to make the rotating shaft 2 rotate, causing water loss), the conical sealing plug 13 will seal the water in the inner cavity 9;

[0050] The selection principle of the spring 14 in the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 is:

[0051] 1) Set the unbalance fault simulation test speed n in advance;

[0052] 2) Calculate the centrifugal force F1 generated by the conical sealing plug 13 at the test speed n;

[0053] 3) Select a suitable spring 14, and the compression elastic force in the installed state is the same as the centrifugal force F1 generated by the conical sealing plug 13.

[0054] 6, After other work is ready, start the tester; due to one side being injected with water and the other side not being injected with water, the rotor has an initial unbalance, and the rotor dynamic balance can be performed by adding counterweights to the dynamic balance screw hole 16 on the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 when the speed is less than n, so as to reduce the initial unbalance of the rotor;

[0055] 7, Control the speed of the unbalance amount mutation rotating disc 3 to be around the test speed n, because the centrifugal force of the conical sealing plug 13 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 14, the conical sealing plug 13 moves outward, and then the water in the inner cavity 9 will flow outward through the gap of the conical sealing, thereby causing a sudden change in the rotor unbalance, until the designed rotor unbalance is reached, and the test purpose is achieved (as shown). Figure 9

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the disclosure of the embodiment of the application only relates to the structure involved in the disclosure of the embodiment of the application, and other structures can refer to the usual design, and in the case of no conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of the application can be combined with each other;

[0057] Finally: the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the application and is not used to limit the application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application should be included in the protection scope of the application.​​
