Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of contact force measurement, and particularly relates to a contact interface mechanical property curve measurement method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The turbine blade of an aero-engine often adopts a dry friction damping structure for vibration reduction. The dry friction damping structure relies on the friction of a contact interface for energy dissipation and vibration reduction. The mechanical properties of the contact interface determine the vibration reduction effect of the dry friction damping structure. The mechanical properties of the contact interface include parameters such as contact stiffness, friction coefficient and wear rate, which can be obtained by measuring the mechanical property curve of the contact interface, that is, the "force-displacement" curve of the contact interface.

[0003] The mechanical property curve of the contact interface can usually be measured through a basic element level test, that is, a friction test is performed on a pair of friction pairs to obtain the relative displacement and contact force between the contact surfaces of the friction pairs. The mechanical property curve of the contact interface obtained by this method is usually measured under a given sinusoidal displacement and constant normal pressure. However, the relative displacement between the contact surfaces of the dry friction damping structure under working conditions is often in a complex relative displacement relationship and under a changing normal pressure condition, and the mechanical properties of the contact interface change after a long time of work, thereby changing the vibration reduction effect of the dry friction damping structure.

[0004] The turbine blade of an aero-engine often adopts a dry friction damping structure for vibration reduction. The friction surface of the crown changes with the working cycle, thereby affecting the vibration reduction effect of the crown and the working stability of the blade. Monitoring the changes of the mechanical properties of the contact interface with the working cycle helps to understand the stress condition, vibration reduction effect and possible failure mode of the blade under working conditions, thereby optimizing the design of the crown structure.

[0005] However, the dry friction damping structure of the turbine blade of an aero-engine often has a small structure size, and due to the structural limitations of the turbine blade, there is still a lack of effective contact interface mechanical property curve measurement devices and measurement methods. The core of measuring the mechanical property parameters of the contact interface is to obtain the mechanical property curve of the contact interface, and further, the core is to measure the relative displacement and contact force between the contact interfaces.

[0006] Considering the structural limitations of the turbine blade with a crown of an aero-engine, the measurement of the contact surface is limited by the structure of the turbine blade, and commercial force measuring elements often cannot be directly applied. The existing mechanical decoupling force measurement scheme is often used for large-size structures such as aircraft landing gears, and does not pay attention to the structural stiffness, resulting in low structural stiffness and easy resonance, thereby causing distortion of the measurement results of the force measurement structure, large deformation of the static part of the contact surface friction pair and other problems, thereby causing distortion of the contact force and relative displacement between the contact surfaces.

[0007] For the contact force measurement of small size contact surface, the force measurement structure needs to have small size to ensure accessibility for measuring the contact surface of the dry friction damping structure such as the blade crown or the shoulder. The force measurement structure also needs to have high system stiffness. High stiffness can increase the natural frequency to avoid the measurement error caused by resonance, and ensure that the structural response is much smaller than the measured object, reducing the measurement error of the relative displacement between the contact surfaces.

[0008] In the relative displacement measurement method, laser displacement sensors are often used due to high measurement accuracy, but they are limited by the structure of the turbine blade and cannot be arranged to measure the displacement of the blade crown contact surface, which has low feasibility.

[0009] Therefore, for the measurement of the mechanical property curve of the contact surface of the turbine blade with crown of the aero-engine, the force measurement structure needs to have small size to ensure accessibility. The force measurement structure also needs to have high system stiffness. High stiffness can increase the natural frequency to avoid the measurement error caused by resonance, and ensure that the structural response is much smaller than the measured object, reducing the measurement error of the relative displacement between the contact surfaces. In the relative displacement measurement of the contact surface, both the relative displacement measurement accuracy and the feasibility of the measurement scheme need to be ensured. SUMMARY

[0010] In view of the above analysis, the present application provides a contact interface mechanical property curve measurement method to solve the problems of force coupling between multiple dimensions and large influence of contact force level on contact force measurement error in the existing multi-dimensional contact force measurement scheme, and to realize contact force measurement of the blade crown contact surface of the turbine blade with crown.

[0011] The present application relates to a contact interface mechanical property curve measurement method, comprising the following steps:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this application. The accompanying drawings and the following detailed description provide principles and embodiments of the present application, which can be used to explain the principles of the present application and should not be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] The present application relates to a contact interface mechanical property curve measurement method, which uses a force measurement device.

[0063] As Figure 13 shown, the test method of the present application includes the following steps:

[0064] S1: mounting and fixing the blade root of the aero-engine turbine blade A on the clamp of the test bench;

[0065] S2: installing the force measurement device on the corresponding position of the test bench;

[0066] S3: connecting the force sensor in the force measuring device to the data acquisition card and connecting the data acquisition card to the computer to process the data;

[0067] S4: adjusting the relative position of the force measuring device and the turbine blade A of the aero-engine and fixing: making the friction block contact surface 711 of the friction block 7 abut the contact surface of the shroud of the turbine blade A of the aero-engine, and then fixing the force measuring assembly on the mounting base 1;

[0068] S5: pasting the acceleration sensor at the position of the shroud contact surface of the turbine blade A of the aero-engine and connecting the acceleration sensor to the data acquisition card;

[0069] S6: applying excitation to the turbine blade A of the aero-engine; recording the measurement data of the force sensor 52 and the acceleration sensor through the data acquisition card;

[0070] S7: calculating and analyzing the measurement data to obtain the mechanical property curve of the contact interface of the turbine blade A of the aero-engine.

[0071] In step S1, the test bench for mounting and fixing the turbine blade A of the aero-engine and the mounting and fixing method of the blade A both adopt the conventional test equipment in the prior art, which includes but is not limited to an optical platform, an iron test bench containing a T-shaped groove, etc., and the mounting and fixing method includes but is not limited to bolt fixing, screw fixing, hydraulic fixing, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein. Through this step, the blade A is stably fixed on the test bench.

[0072] Step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0073] S21: mounting the force measuring assembly on the mounting base 1;

[0074] S22: fixing the mounting base 1 to the corresponding position on the test bench.

[0075] In step S21, referring to Figures 1-4 , first, the positioning table of the first force transmission structure base 2 of the force measuring assembly is clamped into the first flat key groove of the mounting base 1, then the slide rail is fixed into the slide rail mounting groove, and the two slide blocks are respectively fixed and mounted on the slide block mounting surface of the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4, and the slide blocks of the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4 are respectively clamped into the slide rails in the two slide rail mounting grooves.

[0076] Next, the assembled three force transmission structures 5 are respectively fixed to the mounting inclined surfaces of the three force transmission structure bases, referring to Figure 4 , the positions of the three force transmission structure bases are adjusted, and finally the friction block base 6 with the fixed friction block 7 is mounted to the top end of the three force transmission structures 5.

[0077] The three force transmission structures 5 of the force measuring assembly are arranged according to a first coordinate system x1-y1-z1, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The force sensor 52 in the force transmission structure 5 measures the force along the extension direction of the three force transmission structures 5, i.e. the force along the three coordinate axis directions of the first coordinate system x1-y1-z1.

[0078] A second coordinate system x2-y2-z2 is constructed with the plane of the platform part of the friction block base 6 as the y2-z2 plane and the direction perpendicular to the platform part as the x2 direction, and the arrangement of the second coordinate system x2-y2-z2 is shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0079] Further, the friction block contact surface 711 forms an angle a with the x2-y2 plane of the second coordinate system, the plane of the friction block contact surface 711 is the x3-y3 plane, and the direction perpendicular to the friction block contact surface 711 is the z3 direction, and a third coordinate system x3-y3-z3 is constructed, as shown in Figure 12 .

[0080] The linear transformation relationship between the first coordinate system, the second coordinate system and the third coordinate system is related to the definition method of the coordinate system direction, and the difference of the definition method includes the difference of the definition direction and the naming, and the difference of the positive direction, and the linear transformation relationship obtained will change accordingly, and the change includes the transformation between the rows and columns and the transformation between the positive and negative signs. Referring to Figures 7-10 and Figure 12 , under the coordinate system definition method provided in the embodiment, the linear transformation relationship between the three coordinate systems satisfies the following formula:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] In step S21, one or two sets of force measuring assemblies can be selected and installed on the mounting base 1. The installation method of the two sets of force measuring assemblies is shown in Figure 3 , one set of the two sets uses the first force transmission structure base 2, the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4, and the other set uses the first force transmission structure base 2', the second force transmission structure base 3' and the third force transmission structure base 4'.

[0086] In step S22, the position of the mounting base 1 is adjusted so that the distance between the friction block contact surface 711 of the friction block 7 and the shroud contact surface is not greater than 3 mm. Preferably, the friction block contact surface 711 of the friction block 7 is in contact with the shroud contact surface. After adjustment, the mounting base 1 is fixed on the test bench. The mounting base 1 is fixedly mounted on the test bench through the bolt holes and the mounting groove. The specific connection mode can be determined according to the structure of the test bench, and does not affect the application effect.

[0087] Through this step, the force measuring device can be initially installed.

[0088] Step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0089] S31: connecting the force sensor 52 to the data acquisition card;

[0090] S32: connecting the data acquisition card to the computer and the data acquisition software, and starting signal sampling;

[0091] S33: transforming and processing the signal of the force sensor 52 in the computer and the data acquisition software to obtain the contact force measurement result in the third rectangular coordinate system; wherein the third rectangular coordinate system takes the plane where the friction block contact surface is located as the x3-y3 plane, and takes the direction perpendicular to the friction block contact surface as the z3 direction;

[0092] S34: removing the zero drift of the signal of the force sensor 52 to remove the zero point drift of the signal.

[0093] Through this step, the influence of the zero frequency component error in the force signal can be effectively removed, so as to avoid the measurement error of the static component of the contact force.

[0094] In step S4, specifically, the first force transmission structure base 2, the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4 are moved so that the friction block contact surface 711 of the friction block 7 is in contact with the contact surface of the turbine blade A of the aero-engine, and the data fed back by the force sensor 52 is between 0.1 N and 0.2 N. When this condition is met, it indicates that the friction block 7 is in good contact with the contact surface of the shroud, neither too loose to obtain effective data nor too tight to obtain inaccurate data. Then the first force transmission structure base 2, the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4 are fixed on the mounting plane.

[0095] The platform part 61 of the friction block base 6 is perpendicular to the blade height direction of the turbine blade A of the aero-engine.

[0096] Then the first force transmission structure base 2 is fixed on the installation plane through the countersunk head nail and the first countersunk hole; the second force transmission structure base 3 is fixed at one slot in the first group of second flat key grooves through the flat key and the countersunk screw, and the third force transmission structure base 4 is fixed at one slot in the second group of second flat key grooves.

[0097] In step S5, two acceleration sensors are pasted at the shroud contact surface position of the aero-engine turbine blade A, and the acceleration sensors are connected to the data acquisition card. The pasting directions of the two acceleration sensors are along the y3 direction and the z3 direction, respectively.

[0098] It should be noted that two-way acceleration sensors or three-way acceleration sensors can also be selected to reduce the number of acceleration sensors. The acceleration sensors have high measurement accuracy and good measurement effect for high-frequency vibration signals of the aero-engine turbine blade.

[0099] In some other embodiments, the acceleration sensors can be replaced by displacement sensors.

[0100] In step S6, an excitation is applied to the aero-engine turbine blade A. The excitation direction and signal form can be determined according to the test requirements. Preferably, the excitation can be selected as a simple harmonic excitation, and the direction is perpendicular to the surface of the blade A. The contact force signal and the acceleration sensor signal in the third rectangular coordinate system are observed, and after the signals are stable, the contact force signal and the acceleration sensor signal in the third rectangular coordinate system are recorded.

[0101] Step S7 includes the following steps:

[0102] S71: The recorded contact force signal and the acceleration sensor signal in the third rectangular coordinate system are filtered to remove low-frequency components and unnecessary high-frequency noise in the data;

[0103] S72: The acceleration signals of the shroud contact surface of the aero-engine turbine blade A in the y3 and z3 directions measured by the acceleration sensor are integrated twice to obtain the displacement of the shroud contact surface;

[0104] S73: A "force-displacement" curve is drawn according to the measured contact force signal and the processed shroud contact surface displacement signal.

[0105] In step S7, the force sensor 52 of the three force transmission structures 5 measures the force data f1t as:

[0106]

[0107] It is obvious that the three components in the force data are along the three coordinate axes of the first coordinate system, respectively.

[0108] In step S5, the method of calculating the data specifically includes: performing linear coordinate transformation on the force data f1t measured by the three force sensors 52 to the third rectangular coordinate system, so as to obtain the friction contact force fc on the friction block contact surface 711:

[0109]

[0110] f c =A2A1f 1t ;

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] When a load f2 is applied according to the second coordinate system x2-y2-z2, the load in the first coordinate system x1-y1-z1 can be equivalent to f 1,2 :

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] That is:

[0117]

[0118] The load f 1t,2 in the first coordinate system measured by the three force transmission structures 5 arranged according to the first coordinate system is:

[0119]

[0120] The load f 1t,2 is transformed back to the second coordinate system to obtain the actual measurement result f 2t,2 ,

[0121]

[0122] The relative error between the actual measurement result f 2t,2 and the load f2 can be expressed as:

[0123]

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] At this time, the relative error is only related to the decoupling degree γ and is independent of the contact force level, that is, the relative error of the contact force measurement result can be decoupled from the contact force level by applying the load according to the second coordinate system and measuring the load level according to the first coordinate system, so that the accuracy of the force measuring assembly is only related to the decoupling degree of the force transmission shaft 53.

[0127] The relationship between the third coordinate system established on the friction block contact surface 711 and the second coordinate system can be expressed as that the third coordinate system is obtained by rotating the second coordinate system by α degrees around the x2 axis, and since in the second coordinate system, e y2 and e z2 are equal, therefore, the contact force measurement accuracy when the load is applied in the third coordinate system is the same as that in the second coordinate system.

[0128] Through this setting, for the blade crown contact surfaces with different angles, the measurement can be realized by changing the angle of the friction block contact surface and the corresponding third coordinate system, while the measurement accuracy is not affected, so that the force measuring device for the crown turbine blade of the application can better adapt to the contour shape of the crown turbine blade.

[0129] The force measuring device used in the method of the application reduces the proportion of the load transmitted in the force measuring direction by reducing the ratio of the transverse bending stiffness to the axial tensile and compressive stiffness, and then changes the decoupling degree by changing the structural parameters to control the measurement accuracy.

[0130] On this basis, in order to reduce the influence of the contact force level in different directions on the relative error, the application arranges the force transmission structure in the first rectangular coordinate system, and there is a linear transformation relationship between the rectangular coordinate system and the second coordinate system with the plane of the platform part 61 of the friction block base 6 as the y2-z2 plane and the direction perpendicular to the platform part 61 as the x2 direction, and considering that there is an angle α between the friction block contact surface 711 and the x2-y2 plane of the second coordinate system, a third coordinate system is established based on the friction block contact surface 711 and the x2 direction of the second coordinate system, and there is a linear transformation relationship between the third coordinate system and the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system. Using the third coordinate system as the contact surface coordinate system and using the first coordinate system to arrange the force transmission structure and measure the contact force, so that the coupling influence between the forces in different directions is only related to the decoupling degree of the force transmission shaft 53 and is independent of the contact force.

[0131] In the technical scheme of the application, the friction pair moving part is in contact with the friction block 7 to transmit the contact force, the forces in the three coordinate axes directions in the first coordinate system measured by the three orthogonal direction force sensors 52, and the transformation relationship between the coordinate systems can be used to obtain the measurement results of the contact forces in the second coordinate system and the third coordinate system, and finally obtain the measurement result of the contact force on the contact surface of the friction block 7 in the third coordinate system.

[0132] Further, the interface parameters such as dissipation factor, damping ratio, contact stiffness and friction coefficient of the contact interface can be obtained according to the "force-displacement" curve, wherein the calculation methods of the dissipation factor and the damping ratio are common formulas or cognition in the industry, and will not be described herein again, and the contact stiffness and the friction coefficient can be obtained by a parameter identification method, which does not belong to the scope of the patent.

[0133] The application provides a simple and convenient method for measuring the mechanical property curve of the contact interface based on the force measuring device, which can be applied to the mechanical property curve measurement of the shroud contact surface of the turbine blade of the aero-engine of different types and different sizes.

[0134] Example 2

[0135] The application also relates to a force measuring device for implementing the method in Example 1.

[0136] The force measuring device is shown in Figures 1-3 , and includes a mounting base 1 and at least one force measuring assembly, wherein the structure of the force measuring assembly is shown in Figure 4 .

The center of the platform part 61 is provided with a square friction block mounting groove 611, and a center through hole 613 is arranged at the bottom center of the friction block mounting groove 611.

[0151] Referring to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the three support rod parts 62 are inclined and protrude from the three vertices of the triangular platform part 61 to the direction of the mounting plane, or are inclined and protrude from the three sides of the hexagonal platform part 61 to the direction of the mounting plane.

[0153] Referring to Figure 12 The friction block 7 comprises a friction block friction end 71, a friction block pressing platform 72 and a friction block mounting end 73 connected in sequence. The friction block friction end 71 is a rectangular block, comprising a friction block contact surface 711, which is the side surface of the friction block friction end 71 adjacent to the center of the friction block pressing platform 72. The friction block pressing platform 72 is a disc-shaped flat plate, and a plurality of through holes are uniformly distributed around the periphery. The friction block mounting end 73 is a square block, and the bottom is provided with a threaded hole.

[0154] The friction block mounting end 73 is clamped into the friction block mounting groove 611, and the fixing screw is inserted into the threaded hole of the friction block mounting end 73 of the friction block 7 from the center through hole 613, so as to fix the friction block 7 on the friction block base 6.

[0155] The friction block 7 is fastened on the friction block base 6 by the screw, and the friction block 7 serves as a static part of the friction pair, and the friction block contact surface 711 of the friction block friction end 71 bears the contact force of the relative motion between the friction pairs and transmits the contact force to the friction block base 6.

[0156] In the force measuring device, the size of the rib 5321 of the force transmission shaft 53 determines the transverse bending stiffness K b and the axial tension and compression stiffness K p and the decoupling degree of the force transmission shaft 53, and the size of the rib 5321 can be adjusted according to the required transverse bending stiffness K b and the axial tension and compression stiffness K p and the decoupling degree.

[0157] The decoupling degree can be calculated according to the theoretical formula. Based on the formula, the size of the rib 5321 can be designed according to the required transverse bending stiffness K b and the axial tension and compression stiffness K p and the decoupling degree, and in the case of a certain decoupling degree γ, the more the number of ribs 5321, the greater the transverse bending stiffness K b and the axial tension and compression stiffness K pThe larger. Given the size of the ribs 5321, the number of ribs 5321 depends on the diameter of the force transmission shaft 53 and the gap size between different ribs 5321, while the gap size depends on the machining process, and when the machining process allows, the smaller the gap between the ribs 5321, the more the number of ribs 5321, the larger the lateral bending stiffness K b and the axial tension and compression stiffness K p , and thus the higher the structural stiffness of the measuring device.

[0158] In the present application, the lateral bending stiffness K b of the force transmission shaft 53 is less than or equal to 1% of the axial tension and compression stiffness K p .

[0159] Wherein, K b and K p may be calculated by the following formula respectively:

[0160]

[0161]

[0162]

[0163] γ represents the decoupling degree;

[0164] L represents the length of the ribs 5321 of the force transmission shaft 53;

[0165] A n represents the cross-sectional area of a single rib 5321;

[0166] n represents the number of ribs;

[0167] E represents the elastic modulus of the material of the force transmission shaft 53.

[0168] According to the force measuring device of the present application, when the friction block 7 is subjected to three-way contact force load, the force load is transmitted to the first force transmission structure base 2, the second force transmission structure base 3 and the third force transmission structure base 4 through the force transmission structure 5, the three-way orthogonal force transmission structure 5 transmits different directions of force respectively, and the size of the axial force load is measured through the force sensor 52. Since the friction block base 6 connects the three-way orthogonal force transmission structure 5 together, in order to avoid the influence of force coupling between the force measuring results, the specific force transmission shaft 53 is used as the core part of the force transmission structure 5. The two ends of the force transmission shaft 53 are connected with the connecting shaft 54 and the force sensor 52 respectively, and the connection mode can be designed according to the size of the connecting shaft 54 and the force sensor 52. The second part 532 of the force transmission shaft 53 is designed with a special structure, and the rib 5321 is used as a flexible hinge structure. The axial size of the rib 5321 is larger than the cross-sectional size, so as to ensure that the lateral bending stiffness of the rib 5321 is much lower than the axial tensile and compressive stiffness, so as to ensure that the axial tensile and compressive stiffness K p of the force transmission shaft 53 composed of the rib 5321 is much higher than the lateral bending stiffness K b .

[0169] Compared with the prior art, the force measuring device provided by the embodiment effectively reduces the force coupling between the three-way contact force measurement, improves the measurement accuracy, and effectively eliminates the influence of the contact force level on the relative error of the three-way contact force measurement by using the force transmission structure 5 arranged in the three-way orthogonal direction of the first coordinate system and measuring the contact force, and using the third coordinate system to define the friction block contact surface 711. The introduction of the third coordinate system enables the measuring device to measure the contact surface of the turbine blade with different engagement angles. Specifically, different angle friction blocks can be designed for different engagement angles.

[0170] By using the above arrangement scheme of the force transmission structure 5 and connecting them together through the friction block base 6, the friction block 7 is extended, the accessibility of the friction block 7 is ensured, and the friction pair static part for the small size structure such as the shroud contact surface of the turbine blade of the aero-engine is provided, so as to measure the contact force of the contact interface. The three-way force transmission structure 5 is connected together through the friction block base 6 to provide stiffness for the friction block 7, so as to realize the provision of sufficient structural stiffness for the friction block 7 under the condition of ensuring that the size of the friction block 7 is small and accessible. The sliding rail and sliding block are moved to adjust the force measuring assembly, so as to avoid the gap or interference problem between the contact surfaces caused by the assembly positioning and machining error, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0171] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
