Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tribological experimental technology, and in particular relates to a rotary friction tester and test method for simulating high-temperature lubrication conditions in aviation. Background Technology

[0002] Friction itself is a complex process of thermo-mechanical coupling, and a key characteristic of frictional heat generation is the increased temperature of materials in the friction system. Temperature increases and temperature gradients affect the material properties of friction components, as the mechanical properties of materials significantly influence frictional performance, and these mechanical properties are themselves affected by temperature changes. By deriving the relationship between material mechanical properties and temperature, and then based on the relationship between frictional force and the coefficient of friction and material mechanical properties, the law governing the change of frictional force with temperature can be obtained. Therefore, studying the influence of temperature on tribology is extremely important. In practical applications, operating temperatures often vary, leading to changes in frictional performance. Taking the shaft system of an aerospace combined drive generator as an example, its high-speed seal at the shaft end consists of a graphite stationary ring and a metal rotating ring. The graphite ring and the metal ring rotate and rub against each other in close contact, and the heat generated by this friction causes a rapid rise in the temperature of the contact interface. When the medium temperature is 100℃, the local temperature of the graphite ring friction surface can reach 200-310℃, resulting in a complex form of frictional-thermal coupling. Therefore, a tribological testing instrument capable of simulating high-temperature lubrication conditions in aerospace is urgently needed to support related research. Among them, bearings, seals and other components in high-speed aerospace shaft systems usually operate in high-temperature lubrication media environments. Therefore, the study of tribological properties under the coupling effect of environmental heat and frictional heat has good engineering significance.

[0003] Furthermore, approximately one-third of primary energy consumption is due to friction and wear, and about 70% of equipment damage is caused by various forms of wear. Therefore, reducing friction and wear is crucial for improving energy efficiency and extending equipment lifespan. Wear on friction pair surfaces is related to multiple factors, with lubricating media being a significant one. Different lubricating media primarily affect oil film formation, lubrication status, and wear patterns on the friction pair surface. In practical work, experiments involving lubricating media often experience changes in concentration and other parameters as the experiment progresses, leading to subtle variations in the friction test results. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the lubricating media during the experiment is of paramount importance for research. Under high-temperature conditions in aviation, lubricating oil is susceptible to oxidation and degradation, leading to oil aging and reduced lubrication performance and lifespan. Simultaneously, lubricating oil is easily contaminated, such as by oxidation and metal dust, affecting lubrication effectiveness and the accuracy of test results. Timely replacement of the lubricating oil in friction test components is necessary to ensure its quality.

[0004] This invention proposes a rotary friction tester and test method for simulating high-temperature lubrication conditions in aviation. It can simulate the replacement of lubricating media under aviation lubrication conditions, so that the lubricating media remains stable during the experiment and is not affected by temperature, oxidation, abrasive particles, etc., thus ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of lubrication effect and experimental results. Summary of the Invention
