[0022] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The existing multi-subsample engine reliability hot test cumulative reliability evaluation method has high test cost and long test cycle. Therefore, a special exploration method for weak links of engine reliability is proposed, which includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: Propose a liquid rocket engine design scheme; Step 2: Identify weak links of engine reliability; Step 3: Carry out special reliability test for weak links of engine; Step 4: Evaluate the reliability of weak links; Step 5: Carry out engine whole machine reliability verification, and integrate engine reliability verification into engine design scheme verification test and environment verification test; Step 6: Evaluate the engine reliability.

[0025] The above method only evaluates the weak links, and the evaluation accuracy is not satisfactory.

[0026] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a liquid rocket engine reliability evaluation method, device and electronic equipment, which can comprehensively analyze the reliability evaluation data under multiple levels of tests in the development stage, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the reliability evaluation result. In order to facilitate the understanding of the present embodiment, first of all, a liquid rocket engine reliability evaluation method disclosed by the present application is introduced in detail.

[0027] Briefly speaking, the liquid rocket engine assembly will undergo the process of test-exposure of defects-analysis of reasons-improvement of design and process-retest in the development process. In this process, the defects in the design and manufacturing of the assembly are continuously exposed, and after analysis and improvement, it is continuously improved. If the multi-source data of different development stages of the engine is fully utilized, the data of the current stage is expanded, the accuracy and reliability of the reliability evaluation result of the assembly can be improved.

[0028] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a liquid rocket engine reliability evaluation method, referring to the flow chart shown in Figure 1 and the general technical roadmap shown in Figure 2 , the method comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step S102, acquiring the different environment reliability evaluation data under three levels of tests in the development stage of the liquid rocket engine; the three levels of tests include the component level test, the subsystem level test and the whole machine test carried out in the development stage of the engine;

[0030] The development stage of the liquid rocket engine can be divided into: scheme feasibility demonstration, sample stage, preliminary sample stage, sample stage, finalization stage and batch production stage. For different development stages, different reliability evaluation data can be obtained through different tests. The test data results under different levels of tests in each development stage are obtained. Through the processing mode described later, the reliability evaluation data under different levels of tests are finally the reliability distribution of the whole machine. The different environment reliability evaluation data includes the life type, success type and degradation type data of each component of the engine under different levels of tests carried out in the development stage of the life cycle and different from the on-site use environment conditions.

[0031] Step S104, based on the different environment reliability evaluation data under the three levels of tests, determining the reliability of the prior reliability corresponding to the three levels of tests respectively;

[0032] For the multi-source reliability information of the liquid rocket engine, that is, the different environment reliability evaluation data under three different test levels, the reliability (that is, the result of consistency test) needs to be measured. The consistency test method is used to judge the degree of coincidence between the multi-source reliability information and the engine test information. If the consistency test is passed, it indicates that this kind of reliability information is reliable. For the engine reliability information before the test, the engine actual test information is recorded as At the same time, the opposite hypothesis and event are introduced:

[0033] 1) H0 J and K belong to the same population;

[0034] 2) H1 J and K belong to different populations;

[0035] 3) A Event of adopting H0 hypothesis;

[0036] 4) Event of rejecting H0 hypothesis, that is, adopting H1 event.

[0037] The reliability of the prior reliability information of the liquid rocket engine is defined as the probability that H0 hypothesis is established when A event occurs, recorded as ,

[0038]

[0039] In the formula , , wherein represents the false positive risk (the probability of not adopting A event under the condition that H0 is established), represents the false negative risk (the probability of adopting A event under the condition that H1 is established).

[0040] When calculating the reliability of the prior reliability information, it is necessary to determine . It is given by expert judgment or obtained through reliable information source analysis. If it cannot be given, generally = 0.5, at this time

[0041] . That is, the reliability.

[0042] Through the above-mentioned mode, the reliabilities corresponding to three different levels of tests can be determined in advance.

[0043] Step S106, when the reliability meets the standard (that is, the consistency test is passed), the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under three levels of tests are fused to determine the reliability prior distribution information;

[0044] The credibility threshold refers to that the credibility of the three levels of tests exceeds the preset threshold, at this time, the data under the three levels of tests needs to be fused. The step is actually a process of fusing the reliability evaluation data (prior distribution) corresponding to the multiple levels of tests in the development stage respectively. The reliability prior distribution information can be obtained by weighted fusion of the reliability evaluation data under the three levels of tests.

[0045] In step S108, the reliability prior distribution information and the test information are fused to obtain reliability posterior distribution information.

[0046] In the implementation, the reliability prior distribution information and the test information can be fused by using the Bayesian decision theory to calculate the reliability posterior distribution information of the engine.

[0047] In step S110, the final reliability evaluation result of the liquid rocket engine is determined based on the reliability posterior distribution information.

[0048] In actual application, the reliability posterior distribution information can be a probability density distribution curve; there are multiple ways to determine the point estimate result of the engine, for example, the reliability corresponding to the maximum probability density in the probability density distribution curve can be used as the final reliability evaluation result of the liquid rocket engine. The liquid rocket engine reliability evaluation method provided in the embodiment fully utilizes the multi-source data under different levels of tests in the engine development stage, expands the data of the current stage, and can improve the accuracy and reliability of the component reliability evaluation result. Under the premise of not reducing the lower limit of the reliability confidence, the reliability evaluation method based on multi-source information fusion can reduce the number of tests and achieve the purpose of saving funds.

[0049] The embodiment also provides another liquid rocket engine reliability evaluation method, which is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment; the embodiment mainly describes the data acquisition process and the data fusion process under multiple levels of tests.

[0050] The development stage of the engine includes scheme feasibility demonstration, model stage, initial sample stage, sample stage, finalization stage and batch production stage.

[0051] The scheme feasibility demonstration stage is to demonstrate the feasibility of the engine technical scheme, the feasibility of adopting new technologies and economic feasibility before the engine formally enters the engineering development, according to the type planning, professional development and overall demand, with the help of early pre-research results and mature technologies of other types. This stage does not involve reliability evaluation related problems.

[0052] The mockup phase is to design and test the mockup according to the requirements of the overall engine design task and the results of the scheme feasibility demonstration, to initially break through the key technologies of each component, and to determine the engine scheme. In the mockup design, the reliability outline needs to be prepared, the performance and structural reliability evaluation methods need to be selected, the reliability indicators need to be estimated and allocated, and the reliability of the main components of the engine needs to meet the requirements in the design review.

[0053] In the preliminary sample phase and the sample phase, the selected engine scheme is respectively subjected to ground test and comprehensive test including flight test. The two phases may simultaneously include related assembly tests (including all tests on individual elements, components and sub-systems or half-systems composed of components of the engine) and whole machine tests.

[0054] In the final sample phase, the engine design work is summarized, the design is finalized, and the identification test is conducted. The engine is required to pass through several batches of production, test and prove that the engine performance is stable and the structure is reliable. In the batch production phase, the engine batch production is carried out in cooperation with the production plant, technical problems in batch production are handled, and batch sampling test and sampling flight test of the engine are participated. The two phases mainly face a large number of whole machine test of the engine.

[0055] In summary, the reliability test types that may be involved in different development phases of the engine are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1

[0057]

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, the finally statistically different levels of test data are not distinguished from the development phases, that is, the data of all phases are integrated to obtain the environmental reliability evaluation data of the three levels of tests.

[0059] Further, referring to Figure 3 The above step of obtaining the environmental reliability evaluation data of the component level test in the development phase of the liquid rocket engine includes: obtaining reliability evaluation data of a plurality of reliability analysis units corresponding to each sub-component in the liquid rocket engine; converting the reliability evaluation data of the plurality of reliability analysis units into success-failure equivalent test data respectively; converting the plurality of success-failure equivalent test data into reliability evaluation data of the sub-component by using a series model method; and obtaining the environmental reliability evaluation data of the whole machine by jointly processing the reliability evaluation data of the plurality of sub-components according to the correlation of the failure modes of the sub-components.

[0060] The step of obtaining the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under the subsystem level test in the development stage of the liquid rocket engine includes: obtaining the reliability evaluation data corresponding to each subsystem in the liquid rocket engine; and jointly processing the reliability evaluation data corresponding to the plurality of subsystems according to the correlation of the failure modes of the subsystems to obtain the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data of the whole machine.

[0061] The step of obtaining the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under the whole machine test in the development stage of the liquid rocket engine includes: performing the whole machine test on the liquid rocket engine to obtain the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data of the whole machine.

[0062] Further, the step of jointly processing includes: determining the corresponding reliability model according to the correlation of the failure modes among the plurality of components or subsystems; and calculating the reliability evaluation data of the plurality of components or subsystems according to the reliability model to obtain the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data of the whole machine.

[0063] The three test modes are described in detail as follows:

[0064] (1) Reliability evaluation of a single component:

[0065] For a single component, there can be multiple reliability analysis units according to different failure mechanisms, and the reliability information obtained by each analysis unit can be first converted into equivalent success-failure test data:

[0066] ; ;

[0067] In the formula, n is the equivalent success-failure test number of the unit, f is the failure number of the unit in the equivalent test number, RT is the lower limit of reliability confidence under the confidence level , is the cumulative probability density function of the Beta distribution.

[0068] The series reliability model considers that any reliability analysis unit fails, that is, the component fails. The Lindstrom-Maddens (L-M) method is used to convert the equivalent test numbers of multiple units into the equivalent test number of the component, that is,

[0069] ; ;

[0070] In the formula, N and F are the equivalent test number and failure number of the component, respectively.

[0071] (2) Reliability evaluation of the whole of the component level (subsystem level, half-system level) test:

[0072] Let liquid rocket engine be composed of n components (or n subsystems), where the reliability of the component with the lowest reliability is According to the correlation between engine components and failure modes, the reliability mathematical model under different correlation degrees can be obtained:

[0073] The completely unrelated reliability model:

[0074]

[0075] Weakly correlated reliability model:

[0076]

[0077] Moderately correlated reliability model:

[0078]

[0079] Strongly correlated reliability model:

[0080]

[0081] Completely correlated reliability model:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula , , , , is the reliability of the engine structure or system under different correlation degrees of reliability model, is the reliability of the component or component, is the number of units or the number of components that make up the structure. Thereafter, the selected formula in the above model is combined with the L-M method to obtain the equivalent test frequency and failure frequency of the reliability model considering correlation.

[0084] The above reliability refers to the probability of a product completing a specified function under specified conditions. After obtaining the posterior reliability distribution of the product, its reliability estimate can be obtained in a certain way.

[0085] It should be noted that the continuous limit model can not be used in the reliability evaluation of the overall component level (subsystem level, half system level) test, and is replaced by the series reliability model or the minimum value reliability model.

[0086] (3) The reliability evaluation of the whole machine test can be directly calculated from the success or failure results.

[0087] In another embodiment, the reliability of the engine system within a certain research stage can also be evaluated:

[0088] For example, for a certain engine development stage, if there is only a single order of magnitude of test, the engine reliability of this stage is the reliability test estimation result of this order of magnitude.

[0089] If there are engine test of different orders of magnitude in this stage, since the prior information obtained in each stage is binomial distribution (Beta distribution), the overall reliability distribution of this stage can be obtained by weighting fusion of the overall engine reliability estimation results obtained in each order of magnitude.

[0090] For example, there is only component level test in the sample stage, the engine reliability in the sample stage can be obtained by combining the above-mentioned models in the plurality of reliability mathematical models according to the correlation, or it can be regarded as Figure 3 the dashed box of component level test; there are three orders of magnitude of test in the preliminary sample stage, each order of magnitude is evaluated separately, and then an overall engine reliability is obtained by fusion, and the same is true for the sample stage; there is only a large number of overall engine test in the final sample stage, and the overall engine reliability evaluation data can be directly obtained.

[0091] In the embodiment, the step of fusing the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under the three levels of test to determine the reliability prior distribution information comprises: weighting fusing the heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under the three levels of test to obtain the reliability prior distribution information.

[0092] Further, the Bayesian decision theory can be used to fuse the reliability prior distribution information and the test information to calculate the posterior distribution density of the engine reliability as the reliability posterior distribution information.

[0093] For example, the liquid rocket engine has m types of multi-source reliability information, that is, the above-mentioned heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data under a plurality of test levels; wherein the prior distribution determined by the i-th type of reliability information (i.e. the above-mentioned heterogeneous environment reliability evaluation data) is , if the reliability of the m types of multi-source reliability information is known , then the prior distribution after the multi-source reliability information fusion based on the reliability method is :

[0094] ;

[0095] In the formula, here m=3 corresponds to three levels of test.

[0096] After obtaining the field test information of a certain type of liquid rocket engine , the Bayesian decision theory is used to calculate the reliability posterior distribution information of the engine in combination with the prior distribution result :

[0097] ;

[0098] wherein X is engine test information, represents engine structure reliability, is engine reliability prior distribution information, represents the probability density function of test information X when the reliability R is constant, and the expression of the prior distribution is combined to obtain:

[0099]

[0100] wherein , .

[0101] Let , and there is:

[0102] .
