Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flow simulation device for the upper housing of an aero-engine oil pump, belonging to the technical field of aero-engines. Background Art

[0002] As a key component of an aero-engine, the structural design and function realization of the upper housing of the oil pump are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the engine. The upper housing of the oil pump not only needs to have high reliability, but also be able to precisely control the injection volume and injection direction of the lubricating oil to ensure that all components of the engine are fully lubricated and prevent engine failures caused by insufficient lubrication.

[0003] The traditional flow simulation device for the upper housing of the oil pump only includes one spray hole to simulate the injection process of the lubricating oil. However, there are five flow holes for injecting lubricating oil on the upper housing of the oil pump. Since the five flow holes will interfere with each other during operation, the traditional single-spray-hole simulation device cannot accurately simulate the actual working conditions when multiple spray holes work simultaneously. Therefore, in terms of evaluating the performance of the upper housing of the oil pump, optimizing the injection parameters of the lubricating oil, and predicting the operating stability of the engine, the existing simulation devices all have obvious deficiencies. Summary of the Invention
