Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of low-temperature fluid transmission, and more specifically is a metal bellows modal and flow-induced vibration test device. Background Art

[0002] Metal bellows is a cylindrical metal thin-walled pipe with a pleated shape. Because of its special structure, it can maintain good flexibility and pressure resistance in low-temperature environments, and can effectively compensate for the displacement caused by thermal expansion and contraction. In recent years, metal bellows have been widely used in the transmission of cryogenic liquids such as liquid hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, and liquefied natural gas. However, the corrugated structure that gives the metal bellows these excellent properties significantly enhances the coupling between the pipe and the internal fluid, which becomes the main cause of its vibration. In the process of high-speed fluid transmission, metal bellows are prone to fatigue failure, and the vibration induced by the internal flow is one of the key factors leading to fatigue. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an experimental device to measure the modal characteristics of the metal bellows (including modal and natural frequency) and the exciting force generated by the internal flow on the bellows, so as to determine the working conditions that may cause the resonance of the bellows and avoid fatigue failure caused by excessive vibration.

[0003] The fluid in the bellows will produce an additional mass effect on the inner wall of the metal bellows, significantly reducing its natural frequency. In addition, longer bellows usually bend to a certain extent during use, and the axial contraction caused by the cryogenic fluid may cause the pipe to be subjected to axial tension when the end is fixed. Different bending radii and axial tensions may affect the modal characteristics of the bellows. When the cryogenic liquid passes through the crest of the bellows, vortex shedding may occur due to boundary layer separation, thereby generating an exciting force on the wall. At the same time, the gas-liquid two-phase flow caused by the vaporization of the cryogenic liquid will also exert an exciting force on the wall of the bellows, and the wall exciting force caused by the internal flow will also be affected by the bending state of the bellows.

[0004] The existing vibration test device for metal bellows does not consider the influence of the flow in the pipeline on its vibration characteristics, and cannot apply axial load to the bellows to adjust its bending radius and axial tension. Most of these devices are designed for bellows expansion joints (short length), and cannot apply axial load to the bellows while the flow is flowing. CN113514216A introduces a modal test device for a metal diaphragm accumulator structure (whose core is constructed as a bellows expansion joint). The device uses a vibration test bench for modal test input, and uses a mass pressure plate to simulate the compression deformation of the bellows. CN209689862U shows a modal test method for a high-voltage switchgear (GIS) containing a bellows compensator, but does not achieve the conditions of flow and tension in the bellows. In addition, the existing test system for smooth pipelines does not simulate the tension of the pipeline, and only performs modal tests on the condition of fluid in it, with the purpose of comparing with the condition without fluid to determine the influence of the additional mass of the fluid on the vibration characteristics of the pipeline. Summary of the invention

[0025] Please see attached Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a metal bellows modal and flow-induced vibration test device, which includes an adjustable bellows system 3, a circulation pipeline system and a signal acquisition device.

[0026] The circulation pipeline system includes an upstream pipeline, a downstream pipeline and a load loading mechanism arranged upstream and downstream of the adjustable bellows system 3. A water tank 6, a centrifugal pump 4, an air compressor 20, a transparent acrylic tube 19 and a rectifier 7 are arranged in sequence on the upstream pipeline; the centrifugal pump 4 is used to extract liquid medium from the water tank 6; a liquid flow meter 11 is arranged downstream of the centrifugal pump 4, and the liquid flow meter 11 is an electromagnetic flow meter for detecting the liquid flow rate pumped into the upstream pipeline by the centrifugal pump 4; an exhaust valve 22 is arranged between the centrifugal pump 4 and the liquid flow meter 11, which is used to pre-empt the air pumped into the upstream pipeline by the centrifugal pump 4; a valve 5 is also arranged at the outlet end of the centrifugal pump 4; the outlet of the air compressor 20 is connected to the pipeline downstream of the liquid flow meter 11 through a pipeline, which is used to inject air into the upstream pipeline; a gas flow meter 21 is also arranged between the air compressor 20 and the upstream pipeline, which is used to detect the air flow rate of the air compressor 20 into the upstream pipeline. The centrifugal pump 4 draws liquid medium from the water tank 6, and enters the upstream pipeline after passing through the liquid flowmeter 11. The air compressor 20 injects air into the upstream pipeline through the gas flowmeter 21, and forms a gas-liquid two-phase flow with the body in the upstream pipeline. The exhaust valve 22 can pre-empt the air in the liquid to avoid interference with the data of the gas flowmeter 21. The transparent acrylic tube 19 is used to observe the flow state of the gas-liquid two-phase flow in the tube; the rectifying plate 7 is used to eliminate the turbulence caused by the centrifugal pump 4 in the upstream pipeline to ensure the stability of the fluid flow entering the bellows specimen 1. The elbow 27 arranged upstream of the transparent acrylic tube 19 and upstream of the rectifying plate 7 is wrapped with vibration-damping pads 13 upstream and downstream, which are used to absorb the vibration caused by the fluid flowing through the elbow, reduce the vibration interference of the non-test section pipeline, and ensure the accuracy of the test data of the test section of the bellows specimen 1.

[0027] The downstream pipeline is provided with a pressure gauge 12, a T-shaped three-way pipe 8, a rubber hose 23 and a pipeline outlet in sequence; the pressure gauge 12 is arranged on the pipeline downstream of the bellows test piece 1 and connected to the left opening of the T-shaped three-way pipe 8, and is located at the left opening of the T-shaped three-way pipe 8, and is used to detect the pressure change inside the bellows test piece 1. The rubber hose 23 is arranged at the lower opening of the T-shaped three-way pipe 8; a pipeline outlet is arranged downstream of the rubber hose 23, and is connected to the water tank 6, and the liquid in the downstream pipeline is discharged into the water tank 6, so that the upstream pipeline, the downstream pipeline and the bellows test piece 1 in the adjustable bellows system 3 form a circulation pipeline; a valve 5 is also arranged between the pipeline outlet and the rubber hose 23, which is used to control the discharge of the liquid in the downstream pipeline. The elbow 27 arranged downstream of the rubber hose 23 is wrapped with a vibration-damping pad 13 on both the upper and downstream sides, which is used to absorb the vibration generated by the fluid flowing through the elbow, reduce the vibration interference of the non-test section pipeline, and ensure the accuracy of the test data of the test section of the bellows test piece 1.

[0028] The load loading mechanism is an actuator 18, which is arranged on the right side of the T-shaped tee 8; the actuator 18 is used to apply an axial load to the bellows; the actuator 18 and the right opening of the T-shaped tee 8 are also provided with the blind plate 17 for sealing the pipeline.

A vibration-damping pad 13 is arranged on the pipeline between the blind plate 17 and the T-shaped tee 8 to absorb the vibration caused by the fluid flowing through the elbow.

[0029] Each component on the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline is connected by a stainless steel smooth pipe.

[0030] The adjustable bellows system 3 includes a bellows specimen 1, a flange 2, a fixed support frame 14, a sliding support frame 15, a guide rail platform 16 and a U-shaped clamping ring 28; the flange 2 is fixedly arranged at the left and right ends of the bellows specimen 1, and is used to connect the two ends of the bellows specimen 1 to the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline, and connect them into the circulation pipeline; the guide rail platform 16 is used to support the setting of the fixed support frame 14 and to support the sliding of the sliding support frame 15; the fixed support frame 14 and the sliding support frame 15 are both used to support the bellows specimen 1; the fixed support frame 14 is fixedly arranged on the upstream side of the guide rail platform 16; the sliding support frame 15 is slidably arranged on the downstream side of the guide rail platform 16, and is used to adjust the effective length of the bellows specimen 1.

[0031] The fixed support frame 14 includes two groups of fixing units; each group of fixing units includes a truss 25 and a fastener 26; the truss 25 is fixed on the guide rail platform 16; an inverted U-shaped clamping ring 28 is sandwiched between the two groups of fixing units for fixing the corrugated pipe specimen 1; the fastener 26 is used to fix the two groups of sliding units, thereby fixing the U-shaped clamping ring 28.

[0032] The sliding support frame 15 includes two sets of sliding units to make the sliding process more stable; each set of sliding units includes a pulley 24, a truss 25 and a fastener 26, the pulley 24 is arranged at the lower end of the truss 25, and is used for the truss 25 to walk on the guide rail 16; an inverted U-shaped clamp 28 is sandwiched between the two sets of sliding units to limit the position of the bellows specimen 1; the fastener 26 is used to fix the two sets of sliding units, thereby fixing the U-shaped clamp 28; the sliding support frame 15 can slide on the guide rail 16, and by adjusting the position of the sliding support frame 15, the length of the bellows specimen in the adjustable bellows system 3 can be changed to meet different test requirements. The length of the bellows specimen 1 needs to be greater than the length required for the turbulence in the bellows to fully develop.

[0033] After determining the length of the bellows specimen 1, use the actuator 18 to apply an axial load, control the bending radius and tension state of the bellows specimen 1, and simulate different stress conditions. The actuator 18 is connected to one end of the bellows specimen 1, and the displacement generated is absorbed by the T-shaped tee 8, the blind plate 17 and the rubber hose 23 to ensure that the bellows does not affect the flow of the pipeline during the stress process. After the adjustment is completed, use the U-shaped clamping ring 28 to fix the bellows specimen 1 on the sliding support frame 15 and the fixed support frame 14 to ensure that it remains stable during the test.

[0034] The signal acquisition equipment includes a triaxial acceleration sensor 9, a dynamic data acquisition instrument 29 and a computer 10. The triaxial acceleration sensor 9 is provided in three groups, evenly distributed in the middle part of the two fixed positions of the bellows specimen 1, and bonded to the wave crest of the bellows specimen 1, for capturing the vibration response of the bellows specimen 1 under different working conditions. The input end of the dynamic data acquisition instrument 29 is connected to the triaxial acceleration sensor 9, and the output end is connected to the computer 10, for transmitting the collected vibration acceleration signal to the computer 10 for data processing and analysis.

[0035] The test method of the present invention is as follows:

[0036] First, by adjusting the position of the sliding support frame 15 on the guide rail 16, the bellows specimen 1 is adjusted to the target test length to meet specific experimental requirements. Then, the actuator 18 is used to apply an axial load and adjust the bending radius or axial tension state of the bellows specimen 1 to simulate different stress conditions. After adjusting the length and stress state, the U-shaped clamping ring 28 is used to fix the bellows specimen 1 on the sliding support frame 15 and the fixed support frame 14 to ensure that it remains stable during the test and does not change position.

[0037] Next, start the centrifugal pump 4 and inject the liquid medium from the water tank 6 into the upstream pipeline. Adjust the exhaust valve 22 to remove the air in the pipeline. Air can be injected into the pipeline through the air compressor 20 to form a gas-liquid two-phase flow. Adjust the valve 5 and observe the liquid flow meter 11 and the gas flow meter 21 to control the flow rate and ratio of the medium. If the air compressor valve is closed, it will be a single-phase liquid flow.

[0038] Subsequently, the dynamic data acquisition instrument 29 and the computer 10 are turned on to monitor the vibration acceleration signal collected by the triaxial acceleration sensor 9 in real time. The mobile hammer percussion method is used to test the mode and natural frequency of the metal bellows when the tube is filled with liquid; the vibration acceleration signal of the bellows under different liquid and gas flow rates is tested to determine the single-phase flow velocity and gas-liquid two-phase flow state that cause pipeline resonance or large amplitude vibration, which can be observed through the transparent acrylic tube 19.

[0039] This test device can be used to comprehensively study the modal characteristics and flow-induced vibration response of metal bellows under different bending and stretching conditions. In particular, it can simulate the actual working conditions under low-temperature fluid transmission conditions (the pipeline is subjected to tensile loads and the gas-liquid two-phase flow is generated inside due to the evaporation of low-temperature liquid), providing an important experimental basis for preventing fatigue damage of metal bellows caused by excessive vibration.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
