Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aviation gas turbine engines, in particular to a vortex finder flow rate test device and a test method. Background Art

[0002] In the combustion chamber of an aviation gas turbine engine, swirlers of different structures are generally designed to organize combustion. The structural parameters of the swirler have a significant impact on the swirler flow rate, outlet flow field, and oil mist field, thereby affecting the combustion performance of the combustion chamber. Therefore, the quality of the swirler design is directly related to the combustion performance of the combustion chamber and is one of the most important components in the combustion chamber. There are various types of swirler structures. Among them, the two-stage swirler is widely used in the combustion chamber of modern aviation gas turbine engines as a swirl combustion organization device. Compared with the single-stage swirler, the two-stage swirler has a more complex structure and flow field characteristics. Its outlet swirl flow field is not only related to the structural parameters of the first and second stage swirlers themselves, but also affected by the aerodynamic matching of the first and second stage swirlers. Therefore, in the development of the combustion chamber, the air flow of the two-stage swirler needs to be accurately measured and an evaluation standard needs to be provided to ensure the performance of the combustion chamber.

[0003] Currently, vortex finder flow testing is the primary means of evaluating whether a vortex finder meets design requirements. Its flow data is also the basis for pairing vortex finder combinations. Therefore, how to conduct flow tests on vortex finders and match two-stage vortex finder combinations are major issues that need to be addressed in combustion chamber design. During vortex finder testing, it is necessary to design a test fixture to test the vortex finder flow. However, existing test fixtures fail to simulate the actual working flow path of the vortex finder, resulting in test flow rates that cannot reflect actual working conditions. This leads to poor operating sealing performance during use, resulting in large deviations in flow test results. The flow test results are also affected by environmental parameters, making them difficult to accurately correct and resulting in low accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0038] The embodiments of the present application disclose a vortex flow test device and a test method.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The vortex flow test device includes a regulating valve 1 and a flowmeter 2 connected to the input end of the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3. High-pressure gas enters the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 after passing through the regulating valve 1 and flowmeter 2 in sequence. The regulating valve 1 includes an inlet pipe 6 and an exhaust pipe 7. The regulating valve 1 is used to accurately control the gas flow and pressure, ensuring that the pressure of the gas entering the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 is within the set range. The flowmeter 2 is used to monitor and record the gas flow entering the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 in real time, ensuring stable airflow and accurate data during the test, thereby providing a reliable control and monitoring method for the vortex flow measurement.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The vortex finder flow test device includes a pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 and a vortex finder test piece 4. The input end of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 is used to input high-pressure air. The vortex finder test piece 4 is arranged at the output end of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3. The vortex finder test piece 4 includes a first-level vortex finder 401 fixture and a second-level vortex finder 411 fixture for fixing the second-level vortex finder 411; a first-level vortex finder 401 mounting groove for mounting the first-level vortex finder 401 is provided on the first-level vortex finder 401 fixture, a simulated flow channel 405 corresponding to the first-level vortex finder 401 is provided at the center position of the first-level vortex finder 401 fixture, and a first-level vortex finder 401 plug for sealing the first-level vortex finder 401 is provided on the end face of the first-level vortex finder 401; a second-level vortex finder 411 mounting groove for mounting the second-level vortex finder 411 is provided on the second-level vortex finder 411 fixture, and a second-level vortex finder 411 mounting groove for mounting the second-level vortex finder 411 is provided on the second-level vortex finder 411. 1. A plug for the secondary vortex finder 411 is provided on the end face for sealing the secondary vortex finder 411. By inputting stable high-pressure air into the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3, the air source is ensured to be stable, providing reliable conditions for the vortex finder flow test. The clamps for the primary and secondary vortex finders 411 are respectively used to fix and test the vortex finders. The mounting groove and the simulated flow channel 405 of the clamp for the primary vortex finder 401 are designed to accurately simulate the actual working state of the vortex finder, making the test flow closer to the actual usage. At the same time, the plug provided on the end face of the primary vortex finder 401 effectively prevents the leakage of the airflow during the test, ensuring that all the airflow passes through the vortex finder, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the test data. Through these designs, the flow rates of the primary and secondary vortex finders 411 can be measured separately and accurately, and their combined performance can be evaluated.

[0041] The secondary vortex finder 411 has a venturi tube 417 structure. The profile of the simulated flow channel 405 is identical to the venturi tube 417 structure of the secondary vortex finder 411, and the throat diameter of the simulated flow channel 405 is equal to the throat diameter of the venturi tube 417 structure of the secondary vortex finder 411. The fixture for the secondary vortex finder 411 also has a mounting hole for the secondary vortex finder 411, into which the venturi tube 417 structure extends. By designing a profile and throat diameter identical to the venturi tube 417 structure of the secondary vortex finder 411 in the simulated flow channel 405, the simulated flow channel 405 can accurately replicate the fluid flow characteristics of the secondary vortex finder 411 under actual operating conditions, thereby ensuring that the air flow rate and flow field distribution during testing are consistent with actual use. This design effectively improves the accuracy and representativeness of the test results, providing more reliable experimental data support for evaluating the performance of the secondary vortex finder 411.

[0042] The depth of the mounting groove for the first-stage vortex finder 401 is equal to the thickness of the mounting surface of the first-stage vortex finder 401, while the depth of the mounting groove for the second-stage vortex finder 411 is less than the thickness of the end face of the second-stage vortex finder 411. By designing the depth of the mounting groove for the first-stage vortex finder 401 to be equal to the thickness of the mounting surface of the first-stage vortex finder 401, the first-stage vortex finder 401 is ensured to be fully embedded in the mounting groove, achieving a secure installation and a good seal. Furthermore, by designing the depth of the mounting groove for the second-stage vortex finder 411 to be less than the thickness of the end face of the second-stage vortex finder 411, the second-stage vortex finder 411 is partially exposed during installation, increasing the pressing force and stability of the installation, thereby effectively preventing airflow leakage and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0043] A primary sealing ring mounting groove 404 is provided on the plane of the mounting groove of the primary vortex finder 401. A primary O-ring 403 is provided in the primary sealing ring mounting groove 404 for sealing the mounting end face of the primary vortex finder 401. A secondary sealing ring mounting groove 404 is provided on the plane of the mounting groove of the secondary vortex finder 411. A secondary O-ring 403 is provided in the secondary sealing ring mounting groove 404 for sealing the mounting end face of the secondary vortex finder 411. By providing corresponding sealing ring mounting grooves 404 on the planes of the mounting grooves of the primary and secondary vortex finders 411, and installing O-rings 403 therein, effective sealing of the end faces of the primary and secondary vortex finders 411 is ensured during installation, preventing airflow leakage during testing, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the test, and at the same time ensuring the sealing performance of the vortex finders under actual working conditions, which helps to obtain more accurate flow data.

[0044] The first-stage vortex finder 401 fixture is provided with a first-stage clamping member 408 connected to the first-stage vortex finder 401 plug, and the second-stage vortex finder 411 fixture is provided with a second-stage clamping member 419 connected to the second-stage vortex finder 411 plug. Both the first-stage clamping member 408 and the second-stage clamping member 419 are lever structures. This makes it easier to apply and adjust the clamping force during the test, ensuring that the vortex finder plug is tightly closed to prevent airflow leakage, thereby improving the sealing and accuracy of the test, while also simplifying the operation and increasing the ease of use and reliability of the device. The clamping member of the lever structure generally includes main components such as a lever arm, a fulcrum (pivot point), a clamping block or pressure plate, a fixed base, and an operating handle, wherein the lever arm is connected to the fixed base via a fulcrum, and the operator applies force through the operating handle to rotate the lever arm around the fulcrum, and applies a larger clamping force to the vortex finder plug through the clamping block or pressure plate.

[0045] The inner wall of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 is provided with a temperature test probe and a pressure test probe 5, which are distributed at the center position of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 in the axial direction. This allows the temperature and pressure of the gas in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 to be accurately measured in real time during the test. This arrangement ensures the representativeness and accuracy of the measurement data and can fully reflect the gas state in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3, thereby providing the necessary environmental parameters for the vortex flow test and ensuring the reliability and consistency of the test results. In a specific embodiment, the temperature test probes and pressure test probes 5 are evenly arranged at 4 to 6 locations along the inner circumferential wall of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 According to another aspect of the present invention, a vortex flow test device and a test method are provided, which include the following steps:

[0047] Step S1: using a fixture for the first-stage vortex finder 401 to test the air flow of the first-stage vortex finder 401, and correcting the test results.

[0048] Using the first-stage vortex finder 401 fixture to test the air flow of the first-stage vortex finder 401 includes: installing the first-stage vortex finder 401 on the first-stage vortex finder 401 fixture, and sealing it with the first-stage vortex finder 401 plug, and installing the first-stage vortex finder 401 fixture at the output end of the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3; adjusting the regulating valve 1 so that the pressure in the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 is within the test requirements; after the pressure of the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 is stabilized, collecting the air mass flow in the flowmeter 2, and recording the temperature, pressure values ​​in the pressure-stabilizing cylinder 3 and the ambient temperature and pressure values.

[0049] Step S1 installs the first-stage vortex finder 401 in a specially designed first-stage vortex finder 401 fixture and ensures that it is firmly fixed and well sealed. Then, the regulating valve 1 is used to control the air pressure entering the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3. After the air pressure stabilizes, the air flow through the vortex finder is measured by the flow meter 2. At the same time, the environmental parameters such as the temperature and pressure in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 are recorded. Then, the test results are corrected according to the pre-measured standard parts flow data to eliminate the errors caused by equipment and environmental factors.

[0050] Step S2: using the secondary vortex finder 411 fixture to test the air flow of the secondary vortex finder 411 and correcting the test results.

[0051] Using the secondary vortex finder 411 fixture to test the air flow of the secondary vortex finder 411 includes: installing the secondary vortex finder 411 on the secondary vortex finder 411 fixture, and sealing it with the secondary vortex finder 411 plug, and installing the secondary vortex finder 411 fixture to the output end of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3; adjusting the regulating valve 1 to make the pressure in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 within the test requirements; after the pressure of the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 is stabilized, collecting the air mass flow in the flowmeter 2, and recording the temperature, pressure values ​​in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 and the ambient temperature and pressure values.

[0052] Step S2 is to install the secondary vortex finder 411 in a specially designed secondary vortex finder 411 fixture, ensure that it is firmly fixed and well sealed, and then adjust the air pressure entering the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3 to keep it within the test requirements. After the air pressure stabilizes, use the flow meter 2 to measure the air flow through the secondary vortex finder 411, and record the temperature, pressure and other environmental parameters in the pressure stabilizing cylinder 3. Then, use the known flow data of the standard parts to make corrections, eliminate the influence of equipment differences and environmental conditions on the test results, and obtain more accurate secondary vortex finder 411 flow data.

[0053] Step S3: Arrange the first-stage vortex finder 401 and the second-stage vortex finder 411 from small to large according to the corrected flow value, and form a two-stage vortex finder combination according to the matching method of "small with small" and "large with large".

[0054] A matching method of "small with small" and "large with large" is adopted, that is, the first-stage vortex finder 401 with a smaller flow rate is combined with the second-stage vortex finder 411 with a smaller flow rate, and the first-stage vortex finder 401 with a larger flow rate is combined with the second-stage vortex finder 411 with a larger flow rate to form a two-stage vortex finder combination. This process ensures that the first-stage and second-stage vortex finders 411 have relatively matched flow characteristics when combined, ensuring that their airflow distribution and combustion efficiency in actual applications achieve the best results, thereby improving the overall performance of the combustion chamber.

[0055] Step S4: using the two-stage vortex finder 411 fixture to test the combined air flow of the two-stage vortex finder.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 , the method for correcting the test results in step 1 and step 2 includes:

[0057] Step Y1: Test the air flow rate M1 of the standard part, query the standard air flow rate Mb recorded by the standard part, and calculate the correction coefficient ε = Mb / M1; In this step, first measure the actual air flow rate M1 of the standard part. The standard part is a reference device whose air flow rate is known, and its flow rate Mb under standard conditions is known and reliable. By measuring M1 and comparing it with the standard flow rate Mb, the correction coefficient ε = Mb / M1 is calculated. The correction coefficient ε represents the deviation of the actual test conditions (such as equipment accuracy, ambient temperature and pressure) from the standard conditions. The purpose of this step is to establish a calibration benchmark to ensure that all subsequent tests can be adjusted back to the precise values ​​under standard conditions.

[0058] Step Y2: Test the air flow Mi of the first-stage vortex finder 401 or the second-stage vortex finder 411; In this step, the air flow is measured for the vortex finder that actually needs to be tested (whether it is the first-stage vortex finder 401 or the second-stage vortex finder 411) to obtain a preliminary flow value Mi. This measurement is performed under the same experimental conditions, which are consistent with the measurement conditions of the standard parts, to ensure that the correction coefficient can be applied to subsequent correction steps. Although the measured Mi directly reflects the vortex finder flow in the current experimental environment, it may deviate from the true value due to equipment accuracy or environmental changes, and therefore requires further correction.

[0059] Step Y3: Correct the air flow measured in Step Y2 to obtain the corrected flow rate Mj = ε × Mi. The vortex finder flow rate Mi measured in the previous step is multiplied by the correction factor ε to calculate the corrected flow rate Mj: Mj = ε × Mi. This correction adjusts Mi to the flow rate value Mj consistent with standard conditions. This correction process eliminates the effects of equipment errors and environmental variables, ensuring that the final flow rate value Mj more accurately represents the actual performance of the vortex finder under ideal conditions.

[0060] By calculating the correction coefficient and applying it to the actual measurement results, this method effectively corrects errors caused by test environment, equipment differences, etc., thereby improving the accuracy of flow measurement; the corrected flow data Mj can reflect the performance of the vortex flowmeter under standard test conditions, making the flow data measured by different equipment and different environments comparable, which is conducive to unifying evaluation standards in the design, production and quality control processes; this correction method ensures that the test results are not significantly affected by changes in the environment and equipment, and provides more reliable data support, especially when multiple measurements or cross-device tests are carried out, to maintain consistency.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible.
