Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sliding bearings, and specifically relates to a method and system for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high thermal load. Background Technology
[0002] Sliding bearings are widely used in critical equipment operating under high heat loads and harsh conditions, such as large nuclear power equipment, aerospace, nuclear power, and railways, directly affecting the reliability and lifespan of mechanical equipment. Over time and with changes in harsh operating conditions and high heat loads, a varnish film may form on the high-heat-load areas of the bearing's inner surface. This can lead to changes in the thickness and distribution of the oil film, resulting in insufficient lubrication and increased wear risk. Varnish film evolution is a dynamic process, exhibiting phenomena such as continuous accumulation, scraping and peeling, and even continuous cycles. Therefore, accurately predicting varnish film evolution is a significant challenge.
[0003] Currently, the formation and evolution of varnish film are mainly attributed to lubricant degradation, with various metal ions acting as catalysts to further promote this degradation. As degradation increases, varnish film continuously deposits, leading to deposition peaks. Therefore, the establishment of a deposition model has a decisive impact on the accuracy of simulation prediction results. Currently, the Arrhenius equation is primarily used to establish the model, which characterizes the relationship between the rate constant of a chemical reaction and temperature. The varnish film deposition rate model established using this equation shows deposition occurring at all temperatures, and the deposition rate is essentially the same at different operating temperatures. Therefore, the establishment of deposition models still faces challenges in characterizing varnish film evolution and in predicting large errors. There is an urgent need for a computationally efficient and accurate model to characterize the varnish film evolution of bearings under high thermal loads. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high heat load. To address the difficulties in characterizing the evolution of bearing varnish under high heat load and the large errors in prediction results, this invention proposes a method for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high heat load based on activation functions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for predicting bearing varnish evolution under high thermal load includes the following steps:
[0007] S1. Read input parameters, including bearing properties, initial state, and current wear parameters;
[0008] S2. Initialize relevant variables based on input parameters, including oil film thickness, deposition height array, and time step array;
[0009] S3. Based on the initialized relevant variables, the current state variables of the bearing, membrane pressure and membrane temperature, are obtained by solving the control equations.
[0010] S4. Based on the current state variables of the bearing, such as membrane pressure and membrane temperature, determine the actual bearing working conditions, operating cycle and analysis requirements, and select the Arrhenius model or activation function model to solve for the coating film formation rate.

[0014] S8. Based on the deposition height calculation results and the total time step, determine whether the maximum deposition height or the total simulation time of the bearing is greater than the planned height or time. If not, update the film thickness h and iterate the relevant variables, then return to S2. If satisfied, determine the final deposition height, film thickness and film pressure, and output the results.
[0015] A further improvement of the present invention is that step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0027] Based on the current state variables of the bearing, the actual working conditions, operating cycle, and analysis requirements of the bearing are determined, and a suitable model is manually selected to solve for the varnish formation rate. Optional models include the Arrhenius model and the activation function model. The selection criteria are: the Arrhenius model exhibits deposition at all temperatures, and the deposition rate varies little at operating temperatures, making it suitable for varnish deposition simulations with short operating cycles; the activation function model characterizes the relationship between lubricating oil temperature and varnish formation rate through three parameters: activation reaction temperature, saturation reaction temperature, and saturation reaction rate, making it suitable for long-cycle deposition processes that can reach the saturation stage.

[0037] A further improvement of the present invention is that step S5 specifically includes the following steps:
[0038] The time step is automatically calculated based on the current film thickness, and the maximum time step is obtained using the current minimum film thickness. The time step calculation formula is as follows:
[0039]
[0040] In the formula, d t v represents the film thickness grown within a specific time period. g This represents the paint film growth rate, corresponding to Γ in the Arrhenius model. growth rate In the activation model, S(x) ∈ is a stable term in the denominator.
[0041] A further improvement of the present invention is that step S6 specifically includes the following steps:
[0042] The coating deposition height is calculated based on the coating growth rate and the current time step, using the following formula:
[0043] h g =-v g ·t i
[0044] In the formula, v g Indicates the film growth rate, t i For time step.
[0045] A further improvement of the present invention is that step S7 specifically includes the following steps:
[0046] The coating film deposition height array is updated based on the deposition height change rate, and the film thickness change is calculated. The film thickness calculation formula is as follows:
[0047] h(θ,z)=C p +h groove (θ,z)+u j (θ,z)+u p (θ,z)+h g
[0048] In the formula, θ is the circumferential coordinate, z is the axial coordinate, and h groove For oil tanks and geometric shaping, u p For the force and heat deformation of the tile, u j For the force and thermal deformation of the journal, C ph is the machining radius clearance of the bearing bush. g This refers to the height of the bearing varnish deposition.

[0053] The second calculation module determines the actual bearing working conditions, operating cycle and analysis requirements based on the current state variables of the bearing, such as membrane pressure and membrane temperature, and selects the Arrhenius model or activation function model to solve for the coating film formation rate.

This design method can overcome the difficulties of bearing varnish characterization and large result errors under high heat load. At the same time, this design method has the advantages of simplicity and efficiency, saving a lot of tedious design steps.
[0074] like Figure 1 The figure shown is a temperature fluctuation diagram of the coating evolution of a nuclear power equipment under high heat load.
[0075] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high thermal load, including the following steps:
[0076] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high thermal load, comprising the following steps:
[0077] Step 1: Read the input parameters
[0078] Input parameters, including bearing properties, initial state, and current wear state, into the system.
[0079] Step 2: Initialize relevant variables
[0080] Based on the input parameters or iterative return parameters, initialize the relevant variables required for calculation, such as the deposition height array, time step array, and film thickness.
[0081] Step 3: Based on the initialized relevant variables, solve for the current state variables, membrane pressure and membrane thickness, according to the governing equations.
[0082] State variables such as membrane pressure and membrane temperature are obtained by solving the Reynolds equation and the energy equation respectively through the control equation. The solution method can be a general numerical solution method such as the finite element method and the finite difference method.
[0083] The specific equation form is as follows:
[0084] The Reynolds equation is as follows:
[0085]
[0086] The above equation takes into account the three-dimensional viscosity distribution of the liquid film under varying temperatures in three spatial directions.
[0087]
[0088] In addition, R represents the bearing radius; θ represents the circumferential angle; x and y represent the circumferential and axial coordinates, respectively; U represents the journal linear velocity; η, ρ, and A represent the viscosity, density, and density ratio of the lubricating oil, respectively; p and h represent the oil film pressure and thickness, respectively; R q The root mean square surface roughness; The pressure flow factor represents the ratio of the average pressure flow of the oil film on a rough surface to the pressure flow on a smooth surface. The shear flow factor represents the additional transport flow carried away by the valleys and peaks of roughness due to relative surface sliding.
[0089] The energy equation is as follows:
[0090]
[0091] In the formula, ρ is the density of the medium, and Q is... p Let be the specific heat capacity, u, v, w be the velocity components in the x, y, and z directions, T be the temperature, and k be the thermal conductivity coefficient. e U is the thermal conductivity in the y-direction. e Equivalent viscosity
[0092] Step 4: Based on the current state variables of the bearing, determine the actual bearing operating conditions and analysis requirements, and select either the Arrhenius model or the activation function model to solve for the varnish formation rate.
[0093] The appropriate model is manually selected to solve for the varnish formation rate based on the actual bearing operating conditions and analytical requirements; available models include the Arrhenius model and the activation function model. Selection criteria: The Arrhenius model is the relationship between the chemical reaction rate constant and temperature, as shown here... Figure 3 The figure shows the relationship between the dimensionless paint film deposition rate and the lubricating oil temperature. It can be seen from the figure that deposition occurs at all temperatures using the Arrhenius model, and the deposition rate varies little at the operating temperature. This model is chosen for lacquer film deposition simulation in short operating cycles. Figure 4 The figure shows the relationship between the dimensionless paint film deposition rate and the lubricating oil temperature in the activation function model. The relationship between the lubricating oil temperature and the paint film formation rate is characterized by three parameters: activation reaction temperature, saturation reaction temperature, and saturation reaction rate. This model is selected for long-cycle deposition processes that can reach the saturation stage.
[0094] The specific parameters of the model are as follows:
[0095] 1) Arrhenius model:
[0096] Where k B Calculate using the following formula:
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, Γ0 is the initial generation rate, and ΔG act For activation energy difference, k B Here, T is the Boltzmann constant, A is the pre-exponential factor / Arrhenius constant, and E is the temperature in the absolute temperature scale. a R is the activation energy of the reaction, and R is the gas constant.
[0099] 2) Activation function model:
[0100] In the formula, S0 is the initial generation rate, T0 is the activation reaction temperature, T1 is the saturation reaction temperature, and T is the lubricating oil temperature. It is a dimensionless temperature constant.
[0101] like Figure 5 The figure shows a comparison of the relationship between deposition rate and lubricating oil temperature for two deposition rate models. It can be seen that the Arrhenius model can be used when solving the paint film thickness in a short time, but the activation function model is more suitable when solving for a long time or when higher solution accuracy is required.
[0102] Step 5: Automatically calculate the current time step based on the paint film formation rate.
[0103] The time step is automatically calculated using the current film thickness, and the maximum time step is obtained using the current minimum film thickness. The time step calculation formula is as follows:
[0104]
[0105] In the formula, d t v represents the film thickness grown within a specific time period. g This represents the paint film growth rate, corresponding to Γ in the Arrhenius model. growth rate And in the activation model, S(x), ∈ is the stable term in the denominator, when v g When t is 0, i Approximately infinity.
[0106] Step 6: Based on the paint film formation rate and time step, calculate the change in paint film deposition height at the current time step.
[0107] The formula for calculating the paint film deposition height is as follows:
[0108] h g =-v g ·t i
[0109] In the formula, v g Indicates the film growth rate, t i For time step.
[0110] Step 7: Update the coating film deposition height array and calculate the film thickness change based on the change in deposition height.
[0111] Update the paint film deposition height array and calculate the film thickness variation. The film thickness calculation formula is as follows:
[0112] h(θ,z)=C p +h groove (θ,z)+u j (θ,z)+u p (θ,z)+h g
[0113] In the formula, θ is the circumferential coordinate, z is the axial coordinate, and h groove For oil tanks and geometric shaping, u p For the force and heat deformation of the tile, u j For the force and thermal deformation of the journal, C p h is the machining radius clearance of the bearing bush. g Bearing varnish deposition height
[0114] Step 8: Determine if the maximum deposition height of the bearing or the total simulation time meets the requirements.
[0115] Based on the calculated deposition height and the total time step, determine whether the maximum deposition height or total simulation time of the bearing is greater than the planned height or simulation time. If the conditions are met, determine the final deposition height, film thickness, film pressure, film temperature, and other information, and output the results. If the conditions are not met, update the film thickness h and iterate the relevant variables, then return to S2 for looping.
[0116] The coating film evolution model described in this invention includes the Arrhenius model and the activator factor model. Here, a numerical example is used to analyze and calculate using both models, as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 7 The results of the Arrhenius model analysis are as follows. Figure 8 , Figure 9 The results are from the activator model analysis.
[0117] like Figure 6 The figure shows the relationship between paint film buildup height and time during paint film evolution calculated using the Arrhenius model, where (a), (b), and (c) represent the relationship between paint film buildup height and time at different time points, respectively. Figure 6 As shown, in the Arrhenius model, the paint film buildup height is linearly related to time. As time increases, the paint film gradually builds up, and the minimum film thickness decreases accordingly.
[0118] like Figure 7 The figure shows the relationship between film pressure and time during coating film evolution calculated using the Arrhenius model, where (a), (b), and (c) represent the relationship between film pressure and time at different times, respectively. Figure 7 As shown, in the Arrhenius model, the highest oil film pressure decreases slowly over time, while the highest temperature increases due to the accumulation of the paint film.
[0119] like Figure 8 The figure shows the relationship between paint film buildup height and time during paint film evolution calculated using the activation factor model. (a), (b), and (c) represent the relationship between paint film buildup height and time at different time points, respectively. Figure 8 As shown, the activator model analysis of (a) and (b) shows that the deposition rate of the paint film deposition height gradually increases with time, and the rate of change of the minimum film thickness also changes accordingly; the activator model analysis of (b) and (c) shows that the paint film deposition rate has a significant turning point and decreases, while the minimum film thickness has a significant increase.
[0120] like Figure 9 The figure shows the relationship between film pressure and time during coating film evolution calculated using the activation factor model. (a), (b), and (c) represent the relationship between film pressure and time at different times, respectively. Figure 9As shown, the activation factor model analysis of (a) and (b) shows that the maximum oil film pressure decreases continuously with the increase of the paint film accumulation height, while the maximum oil film temperature increases with the accumulation of heat in the paint film. The activation factor model analysis of (b) and (c) shows that the rate of decrease of the maximum oil film pressure fluctuates, and the pressure peak gradually changes from one to two. This is because the model predicts that the paint film will be slightly scratched. The maximum oil film temperature first increases with the accumulation of heat in the paint film, and then decreases due to the scratching of the accumulated paint film.
[0121] This invention provides a method for predicting the evolution of bearing varnish under high thermal load. By setting the activation reaction temperature, saturation reaction temperature, and saturation reaction rate, the relationship between the varnish deposition rate and the lubricating oil temperature is characterized, thereby enabling the prediction of bearing varnish evolution under heavy load.
[0122] like Figure 10 As shown, the present invention provides a bearing varnish evolution prediction system under high thermal load, comprising:
[0123] The reading module reads input parameters, including bearing properties, initial state, and current wear parameters;
[0124] The initialization module initializes relevant variables based on the input parameters, including oil film thickness, deposition height array, and time step array.
[0125] The first calculation module, based on the initialized relevant variables, uses the control equations to solve for the current state variables of the bearing, namely membrane pressure and membrane temperature.
[0126] The second calculation module determines the actual bearing working conditions, operating cycle and analysis requirements based on the current state variables of the bearing, such as membrane pressure and membrane temperature, and selects the Arrhenius model or activation function model to solve for the coating film formation rate.
[0127] The third calculation module calculates the current time step based on the paint film formation rate.
[0128] The fourth calculation module calculates the change in coating film deposition height at the current time step based on the coating film formation rate and time step.
[0129] The fifth calculation module updates the paint film deposition height array based on the change in paint film deposition height and calculates the change in film thickness.
[0130] The judgment module, based on the deposition height calculation result and the total time step, determines whether the maximum deposition height of the bearing or the total simulation time is greater than the planned height or time. If not, it updates the film thickness and iterates the relevant variables, then returns to the initialization module. If the conditions are met, it determines the final deposition height, film thickness, and film pressure, and outputs the results.
