Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of avionics, and in particular to an aircraft engine exhaust temperature warning system. Background Art

[0034] An aircraft engine exhaust temperature warning system comprises a processor, a wheel-load signal acquisition unit, an engine speed acquisition unit, a pressure altitude acquisition unit, an atmospheric static temperature acquisition unit, and an engine throttle acquisition unit; the wheel-load signal acquisition unit is used to acquire the aircraft's wheel-load signal from the landing gear system in the form of a switch signal; the engine speed acquisition unit is used to acquire the aircraft's engine speed from a speed signal converter in the form of a frequency quantity; the pressure altitude acquisition unit is used to acquire the aircraft's pressure altitude from a cabin pressure controller via a 429 bus; the atmospheric static temperature acquisition unit is used to acquire the atmospheric static temperature; and the engine throttle acquisition unit is used to acquire the aircraft's engine throttle angle in the form of an analog quantity from the aircraft's engine throttle's CD-1 angular displacement sensor.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the processor is used to receive wheel load signals, engine speed, air pressure altitude, atmospheric static temperature, and engine throttle angle signals to determine whether the engine exhaust temperature exceeds the corresponding warning temperature under the current flight environment and flight state. The threshold value of the engine exhaust temperature warning is different in different flight environments and flight states.

[0036] When the aircraft is on the ground, that is, when the wheel load switch indicates ground:

[0037] When the engine speed is less than or equal to the preset speed ratio, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the first warning temperature; when the engine speed is greater than the preset speed ratio, and the aircraft altitude is greater than or equal to the first preset altitude, the atmospheric static temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, and the engine throttle angle is greater than or lower than the first preset angle, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the second warning temperature; when any one of the three conditions of the aircraft altitude is greater than or equal to the first preset altitude, the atmospheric static temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, and the engine throttle angle is greater than or lower than the first preset angle is not met: when the atmospheric static temperature is less than the second preset temperature, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the third warning temperature, and when the atmospheric static temperature is greater than the third preset temperature, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the fourth warning temperature, among which the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature and less than the third preset temperature.

[0038] The preset speed ratio is 69.5%, the first alarm temperature is 690℃; the first preset altitude is 2000m, the first preset temperature is 16℃, the first preset angle is 84°, the second alarm temperature is 550℃; the second preset temperature is 15℃, the third alarm temperature is 520℃; the third preset temperature is 17℃, and the fourth alarm temperature is 570℃.

[0039] When the aircraft is in flight and the flight altitude is lower than the first flight altitude:

[0040] When the engine throttle angle is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to the second preset angle, the exhaust temperature alarm temperature is the fifth alarm temperature; when the engine throttle angle is greater than the second preset angle and less than or equal to the first preset angle, the exhaust temperature alarm temperature is the sixth alarm temperature; when the engine throttle angle is greater than the first preset angle, the exhaust temperature alarm temperature is the seventh alarm temperature.

[0041] The second preset angle is 68°, the fifth alarm temperature is 500°C; the sixth alarm temperature is 540°C; and the seventh alarm temperature is 620°C.

[0042] When the aircraft is in flight and the flight altitude is greater than or equal to the second flight altitude:

[0043] When the engine throttle angle is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to the second preset angle, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the eighth warning temperature. When the engine throttle angle is greater than the second preset angle and less than or equal to the first preset angle, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the ninth warning temperature. When the engine throttle angle is greater than the first preset angle, the exhaust temperature warning temperature is the tenth warning temperature. The eighth warning temperature is 520°C, the ninth warning temperature is 570°C, and the tenth warning temperature is 620°C.

[0044] The first preset altitude is 6500 meters and the second flight altitude is 6550 meters. To prevent the warning information from flashing frequently, when the aircraft rises from 6500 meters to 6550 meters, the range between 6500-6550 meters is set to less than 6500 meters. When the aircraft descends from 6550 meters to 6500 meters, the range between 6500-6550 meters is set to greater than or equal to 6550 meters.

[0045] For every 1°C increase in the aircraft's flight environment temperature compared to the standard temperature, the exhaust warning temperature will increase by 1°C accordingly; for every 1°C decrease in the aircraft's flight environment temperature compared to the standard temperature, the exhaust warning temperature will decrease by 1°C.

[0046] Different air engine exhaust temperature warning temperatures are designed according to different flight conditions and flight environments to improve the accuracy of the alarm. By collecting multiple parameters and making logical judgments, logical alarm states are realized with different colors and icon areas.
