[0036] To meet the bleed air load test requirements in simulated experiments, this invention proposes an online bleed air adjustment device and method for aircraft, mainly including a bleed air flow measurement device, an online adjustment device, and a flow control device. The innovation of this invention is: based on the bleed air requirements of the engine test aircraft and combined with the specific conditions of the engine test bench, it simulates the process of gas drawn from the intermediate stage of the engine compressor, passing through the aircraft environmental control system accessories and the aircraft cockpit, and being discharged to the atmosphere through the exhaust valve. Through a pressure precision adjustment device, a rectification device, and a back pressure feedback and adjustment device, the bleed air flow rate of the engine is adjusted for testing and control, ensuring consistency with the bleed air in the flight environment.

[0037] This application provides an online bleed air adjustment device for aircraft, as described below. Figures 1 to 10 Provide a detailed description.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The aircraft bleed air online adjustment device in this embodiment includes a measurement and control system 9 and an engine 1, a bleed air main pipe 2, a bleed air flow measurement and control device 3, a cockpit simulator 7, and a cockpit pressure control valve 8 connected in sequence. The bleed air main pipe 2 is provided with a first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4, the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 is provided with a second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5, and the cockpit simulator 7 is provided with a cockpit pressure measurement point 6. The measurement and control system 9 is connected to the cockpit pressure control valve 8, the first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4, the second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5, and the cockpit pressure measurement point 6, respectively.

[0039] The bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 is used to measure and control the bleed air flow of engine 1 online. The first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4, the second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5, and the cabin pressure measurement point 6 are used to measure the gas parameters along the path. The cabin simulator 7 is used to simulate the volume and pressure of the aircraft cabin. The cabin pressure control valve 8 is used to adjust the pressure of the cabin simulator 7 online. The measurement and control system 9 adjusts the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 and the cabin pressure control valve 8 by collecting the gas parameters along the path from the first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4, the second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5, and the cabin pressure measurement point 6, so as to realize the measurement and online adjustment of the bleed air flow.

[0040] After the bleed air from the engine 1 exits through the bleed air port, it passes through the bleed air manifold 2, the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3, the cockpit simulator 7, and the cockpit pressure control valve 8 before entering the test environment. The measurement and control system 9 analyzes the gas parameters along the path collected at the first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4, the second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5, and the cockpit pressure measurement point 6, and adjusts and controls the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 and the cockpit pressure control valve 8 according to the target parameters, thereby realizing the measurement and online adjustment of the bleed air flow.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, refer to Figures 2 to 6The bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 includes an outer frame 340 and a measurement and control device cooling pipe 360, a rectifier 310, a flow measuring device 320, and a bleed air flow control valve 330 disposed inside the outer frame 340. The flow measuring device 320 is fixed to the outer frame 340 by a flow measuring mounting base 341 disposed at the bottom. The measurement and control device cooling pipe 360 ​​is disposed at the top of the outer frame 340, and the measurement and control device cooling pipe 360 ​​supplies power to the rectifier 310 and the flow measuring device 320. The bleed air flow control valve 330 is cooled by blowing air. The rectifier 310, flow measuring device 320, and bleed air flow control valve 330 are connected in sequence. The inlet end of the rectifier 310 is connected to the bleed air main pipe 2 through the inlet pipe 350 of the measurement and control device. The outlet end of the bleed air flow control valve 330 is connected to the cabin simulator 7 through the outlet pipe 370 of the measurement and control device. The second gas temperature and pressure measuring point 5 is set on the flow measuring device 320. The bleed air flow control valve 330 is connected to the measurement and control system 9. The inlet pipe 350 of the measurement and control device includes an inlet straight section 351 and an inlet right-angle section 352.

[0042] Specifically, the outer frame 340 serves as the load-bearing frame for the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3. The rectifier 310, flow measurement device 320, bleed air flow control valve 330, inlet pipe 350, cooling pipe 360, and outlet pipe 370 of the measurement and control device are all located inside the outer frame 340. The measurement and control system 9 is located on the upper part of the outer frame 340. Aircraft bleed air enters the bleed air flow measurement and control device 3 through the inlet pipe 350. Since bends in the pipe can cause uneven gas flow, affecting the accuracy of temperature, pressure, and flow measurement, a rectifier 310 is arranged after the inlet pipe 350 to rectify the gas flow and ensure that the gas entering the flow measurement device 320 is uniform. The bleed air flow control valve 330 is located downstream of the flow measurement device 320 to achieve online control of the bleed air flow. The outlet pipe 370 of the measurement and control device is connected to the cockpit simulator 7. The cooling pipe 360 ​​of the measurement and control device is used to cool the flow measurement device 320, bleed air flow control valve 330, etc.

[0043] Specifically, the cooling pipe 360 ​​of the measurement and control device includes a control valve cooling pipe 361, a flow measurement cooling pipe 362, a rectifier cooling pipe 363, a motor cooling pipe 364, a cooling air inlet 365, a housing cooling pipe 366, and a cooling main pipe 367. Cooling air enters the cooling main pipe 367 from the cooling air inlet 365, and blows air to cool the structure of the external frame 340 from the control valve cooling pipe 361, the flow measurement cooling pipe 362, the rectifier cooling pipe 363, the motor cooling pipe 364, and the housing cooling pipe 366.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the rectifier 310 includes a rectifier inlet expansion section 311, a rectifier straight section 313, a rectifier contraction section 314, and a rectifier outlet straight section 315 connected in sequence. The rectifier inlet expansion section 311 is connected to the inlet pipe 350 of the measurement and control device, and the rectifier outlet straight section 315 is connected to the flow measurement device 320. A rectifier grid plate 312 is provided between the rectifier inlet expansion section 311 and the rectifier straight section 313. The inner diameters of the outlet of the rectifier inlet expansion section 311, the inlet of the rectifier straight section 313, and the inlet of the rectifier contraction section 314 are the same. The rectifier contraction section 314 adopts a transition contraction curve of arc-straight line-arc to accelerate the airflow and facilitate the measurement of flow field parameters by the flow measurement device 320. The rectifier grid plate 312 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed circular holes of equal toroidal surfaces. For example, the rectifier grid plate 312 uses 5 evenly distributed circular holes of equal toroidal surfaces as airflow channels.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the expansion angle of the rectifier inlet expansion section 311 is 10°, which effectively reduces the gas velocity and facilitates the subsequent rectifier grid plate 312 to divide the airflow and form a uniform pressure flow field. The area of ​​all the circular holes on the rectifier grid plate 312 is 70% of the area of ​​the inner circle of the rectifier straight section 313, and the length of the rectifier straight section 313 is equal to its inner diameter, ensuring that the gas after the rectifier grid plate 312 is fully mixed.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the flow measurement device 320 includes a first straight section 321 for flow measurement, a second straight section 326 for flow measurement, a contraction section 322 for flow measurement, a throat section 323 for flow measurement, a first expansion section 324 for flow measurement, and a second expansion section 325 for flow measurement, connected in sequence. The first straight section 321 for flow measurement is connected to the rectifier 310. The second expansion section 325 for flow measurement is connected to the bleed air flow control valve 330 through the flow measurement outlet flange 327. The throat section 323 for flow measurement is connected to the contraction section 322 for flow measurement and is the part with the smallest flow area in the entire device, where the flow velocity is the largest. The first expansion section 324 for flow measurement and the second straight section 326 for flow measurement are mainly used to ensure the quality of the flow field and reduce the influence on the flow field of the throat section 323 for flow measurement. The outlet flange 327 for flow measurement is used to connect to the bleed air flow control valve 330.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5 includes a first measuring ring 328 located at the axial middle position of the first straight section 321 of the flow measurement and a second measuring ring 329 located at the axial middle position of the throat section 323 of the flow measurement. The second gas temperature and pressure measurement point 5 collects pressure through the first measuring ring 328 and the second measuring ring 329 respectively.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the length of the first straight section 321 of the flow measurement is three times its inner diameter. The inner diameter of the front end of the flow measurement constriction section 322 is the same as the inner diameter of the first straight section 321 of the flow measurement. The function of the flow measurement constriction section 322 is to further increase the gas flow rate, which facilitates the improvement of the gas pressure measurement accuracy. The inner diameter of the rear end of the flow measurement constriction section 322 is half of the inner diameter of the front end of the flow measurement constriction section 322, and the constriction angle of the flow measurement constriction section 322 is 14°.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first measuring ring 328 and the first straight section 321 of the flow measurement are respectively provided with a first static pressure point 502 and a second static pressure point 503 at the two junctions. The first measuring ring 328 has a first measuring ring outlet 501 in the middle position of the ring body. The wall static pressure of the second straight section 326 of the flow measurement is obtained through the first measuring ring outlet 501. The second measuring ring 329 and the throat section 323 of the flow measurement are respectively provided with a second measuring ring first static pressure point 504 and a second measuring ring second static pressure point 505 at the two junctions. The second measuring ring 329 has a second measuring ring outlet 506 in the middle position of the ring body. The wall static pressure of the throat section 323 of the flow measurement is obtained through the second measuring ring outlet 506. The bleed gas flow rate is calculated by the wall static pressure of the second straight section 326 of the flow measurement, the wall static pressure of the throat section 323 of the flow measurement, and the test results of the first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4.

[0050] Specifically, the first measuring ring 328 and the second measuring ring 329 are spaced 180° apart in the circumferential direction, so that the first static pressure point 502, the second static pressure point 503, the first static pressure point 504, and the second static pressure point 505 of the first measuring ring are evenly distributed on the circumference, and the circumferential angle between two adjacent static pressure measuring points differs by 90°. This arrangement can ensure the uniformity and accuracy of the measurement data; the first static pressure point 502 and the second static pressure point 503 of the first measuring ring are connected by the bend in the first measuring ring 328. The static pressure on the wall of the second straight section 326 of the flow measurement is averaged. The static pressure on the wall of the throat section 323 of the flow measurement is averaged through the bend of the second measuring ring 329 at the first static pressure point 504 and the second static pressure point 505 of the second measuring ring. The static pressure on the wall of the second straight section 326 of the flow measurement is obtained through the outlet 501 of the first measuring ring, and the static pressure on the wall of the throat section 323 of the flow measurement is obtained through the outlet 506 of the second measuring ring. The static pressure difference is obtained by comparison, and the bleed gas flow rate can be obtained by combining the results of the first gas temperature and pressure measurement point 4.
