Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of propeller excitation force measurement technology, specifically to a piezoelectric decoupled propeller three-dimensional excitation force measurement device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Vibration and noise caused by the propulsion system are major components of the total noise of a ship. Measuring the unsteady excitation force of the propeller in all directions is crucial for the low-noise design and vibration control of ships. Therefore, it is necessary to design a sensor for measuring the triaxial excitation force of underwater propellers.

[0003] Existing triaxial piezoelectric force sensors cannot be directly used to measure unsteady excitation forces of propellers because when embedded inside the shaft system, the sensor and the thin wall of the hollow shaft system will have a strong coupling effect. The measured force results in each direction will be coupled together. For example, when the sensor is subjected to a longitudinal force, its lateral and vertical response signals will also be strong, making it impossible to accurately obtain the unsteady excitation forces in each direction experienced by the propeller. Devices that can directly measure the unsteady excitation forces in each direction of the propeller are almost non-existent. This is mainly because the environment in which propellers operate is harsh, making direct measurement difficult. Furthermore, the unsteady excitation forces in each direction have a wide dynamic range and rich spectral components, and their amplitude is much smaller than that of static thrust. The measured responses in each direction are easily coupled together and difficult to distinguish.

[0004] Patent document CN104316229A discloses a composite measuring device for dynamic thrust and torque of a propeller. Developing a measuring device that can simultaneously and accurately measure the dynamic thrust and torque generated by propeller rotation is of significant importance. The composite measuring device for dynamic thrust and torque of a propeller comprises: a propeller, a main shaft, a bearing housing, and a tension / compression sensor. The propeller has a main shaft, the end of which passes through the bearing housing and is coaxially connected to the output shaft of a drive motor via a dynamic torque sensor. A tension / compression sensor is mounted on the bearing housing, and the sensor is connected to a base plate via a connector. The bearing housing and the base plate are slidably connected. This invention applies to the composite measuring device for dynamic thrust and torque of a propeller; however, the sensor in this design fails to accurately measure the lateral and vertical unsteady excitation forces acting on the propeller, which is detrimental to further research on ship vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0055] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] This invention provides a piezoelectric decoupled thruster three-dimensional excitation force measuring device, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the system includes a propeller hub 1, propeller blades 2, a hub cap 4, a propeller mounting shaft 3, a long shaft 5, and a triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12. The propeller hub 1 and the propeller blades 2 are fixedly connected as a single structure. The propeller hub 1 is mounted on the propeller mounting shaft 3 via a threaded structure and is fixed by the hub cap 4. The mounting shaft 3 and the long shaft 5 form a drive shaft, both of which have hollow internal structures. The triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 is installed inside the drive shaft and is used to measure the unsteady hydrodynamic or unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on the propeller in the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical directions to prevent damage from extreme environments. One end of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 is close to the propeller hub 1 and the propeller blades 2, providing a high signal-to-noise ratio, while the other end is fixedly connected to the long shaft 5 to improve the rigidity of the measurement system itself.

[0058] The mounting shaft 3 has a hollow structure inside, with a stepped shaft structure at the lower end of the hollow section. The long shaft 5 also has a hollow structure inside, with a stepped shaft structure at the upper end. The mounting shaft 3 and the long shaft 5 are fitted together with a clearance fit and fixedly connected by bolts. The triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 is installed inside the hollow structure formed by the mounting shaft 3 and the long shaft 5. When installing the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12, the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 and the drive shaft are divided into two parts: assembly a and assembly b. Assembly a includes a force measuring disk 7, a connecting shaft 8, a force measuring rod 9, and the mounting shaft 3. Assembly b includes a stepped fixed shaft 6, a piezoelectric ceramic plate 11, and the long shaft 5. Assembly a and assembly b are fitted together by the threaded structure of the connecting shaft 8 and the stepped fixed shaft 6, and the mounting shaft 3 and the long shaft 5 are fastened together by bolts to seal the shaft system, ensure the integrity of the drive shaft, and prevent the sensor from being damaged by extreme environments. To ensure the reliability of the connection between assembly a and assembly b, the rotation direction of the propeller and the shaft system must be opposite to the direction of the connecting threads of assembly a and assembly b.

[0059] The triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 includes a stepped fixed shaft 6, a force-measuring disk 7, a connecting shaft 8, a force-measuring rod 9, and a piezoelectric ceramic plate 11. The upper end of the force-measuring rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner end face of the mounting shaft 3 via a threaded structure. The middle of the force-measuring rod 9 is a thin rod structure, which can only transmit the longitudinal force it receives and cannot transmit radial force or torque. Therefore, the thin rod structure is only used for transmitting the longitudinal force received by the propeller. Both the upper and lower ends of the force-measuring rod 9 are set as threaded shaft sections. Both ends of the connecting shaft 8 are provided with threaded holes. The upper end is connected to the threaded shaft section of the force-measuring rod 9, and the lower end is connected to the threaded shaft section of the stepped fixed shaft 6. The middle section is fixed with a force-measuring disk 7, which is fixed to the connecting shaft 8 by an interference fit. The disk surface of the force-measuring disk 7 is very thin, and the outer periphery is thickened. The walls are in close contact so that only the radial force along the disk surface is transmitted, i.e., the lateral and vertical dynamic forces acting on the propeller. This decouples the triaxial force measurement sensor embedded in the shaft system. Simultaneously, the thickened portion of the force measuring disk 7 is fixed to the stepped end face of the mounting shaft 3 by four evenly distributed screws. A piezoelectric ceramic plate 11 is fixed on the stepped fixed shaft 6. The piezoelectric ceramic plate 11 comprises three annular piezoelectric ceramic plates, which convert the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical dynamic forces acting on the propeller into electrical signals, respectively. It features high voltage performance, good stability, high-frequency response, and good durability. It is installed on the stepped fixed shaft 6 with a clearance fit and pressed by the lower end face of the adapter shaft 8. The stepped fixed shaft 6 is fixed to the inner end face of the long shaft 5 by threads. Through holes 10 are provided radially and axially on the stepped fixed shaft 6, and through holes 10 are provided axially on the long shaft 5. Circuitry is installed inside the through holes 10.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] The present invention also provides a measurement method for the three-dimensional excitation force measuring device of the piezoelectric decoupled thruster in Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 4-5 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0062] S1: Install the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12. First, mate the force measuring rod 9 with the adapter shaft 8. Then, install the force measuring disk 7 on the adapter shaft 8 with an interference fit. Next, connect all three to the mounting shaft 3 and connect the force measuring disk 7 to the mounting shaft 3 with four evenly distributed screws. This is called assembly a. Then, connect the piezoelectric ceramic plate 11, the stepped fixing shaft 6, and the long shaft 5. This is called assembly b. Finally, assembly a and assembly b are connected through the threaded structure of the adapter shaft 8 and the stepped fixing shaft 6, and the mounting shaft 3 is fastened to the long shaft 5 with bolts.

[0063] S2: The equivalent longitudinal stiffness, equivalent lateral stiffness, and equivalent vertical stiffness of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 and the combined action of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 and the hollow tube wall of the transmission shaft are calculated by experiment. The measurement scaling factors of the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical excitation forces are calculated and retained as parameters.

[0064] S3: Controls the propeller to start working, and the propeller is subjected to dynamic excitation force;

[0065] S4: The dynamic excitation force received is converted into a response signal by the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12, and the response signal is input into the PC through the LMS data acquisition system;

[0066] S5: The PC processes the input signal according to the measurement scaling factor obtained in step 2, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the dynamic excitation force.

[0067] In step 2, the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 is connected in parallel with the hollow tube wall of the mounting shaft 3 and the long shaft 5.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, taking the calculation of the equivalent longitudinal stiffness of the combined action of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 and the pipe wall as an example, it is equivalent to the hollow shaft thin wall stiffness and the longitudinal stiffness of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 being connected in parallel. The equivalent longitudinal stiffness of the hollow shaft thin wall is:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, E t Let A be the elastic modulus of drive shaft 1. t Let l be the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow shaft of drive shaft 1. t The length of the hollow section formed by the blade mounting shaft 3, connecting shaft 13, and long shaft 5.

[0071] The longitudinal equivalent stiffness of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 was measured to be k through experiments. z Therefore, the total equivalent longitudinal stiffness of the embedded triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12 and the tube wall is:

[0072]

[0073] And k x With k t The magnitudes are similar, therefore the hollow portion of drive shaft 1 will help distribute the force on the sensor. The longitudinal measurement scaling factor is calculated as follows:

[0074] α x =k1 / k x

[0075] Similarly, the scale factors for lateral and vertical measurements are calculated using α. yWith α z express.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in step 5, the response signal is input into the PC through the LMS data acquisition system. The input signal is processed by measuring the scaling factor. The calculation formulas for the three-dimensional unsteady excitation force are as follows:

[0077] Longitudinal force:

[0078] F x =α x *f x

[0079] Lateral force:

[0080] F y =α y *f y

[0081] Vertical force:

[0082] F z =α z *f z

[0083] Among them, f x f y with f z These are the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical response measurement results of the triaxial piezoelectric force sensor 12, respectively.
