[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for evaluating the life of an auxiliary power unit component is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of evaluating at least one life component in an auxiliary power unit. The method can be performed by an auxiliary power unit component life evaluation device. The auxiliary power unit component life evaluation device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The auxiliary power unit component life evaluation device can be configured in an electronic device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0033] S110, determining a target auxiliary power unit, and generating a digital model of the target auxiliary power unit according to the target auxiliary power unit, wherein the target auxiliary power unit includes a first component, which is a component requiring life assessment, and the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit includes a digital model of the first component, which is generated by modeling the first component.

[0034] The auxiliary power unit can be an onboard power unit other than the main power unit on the aircraft, and its main function is to provide compressed air for the start of the main engine, provide compressed air for the aircraft environmental control system, provide ground power for the aircraft power system, and provide backup power after the main engine of the aircraft fails. The target auxiliary power unit can be an auxiliary power unit that needs to be tested for component life. The digital model of the auxiliary power unit can be generated by combining the detailed finite element models of each component in the auxiliary power unit, and has the same physical properties as the auxiliary power unit, including the connection relationship of each component and the weight and center of gravity position of each component. The first component is the component in the target auxiliary power unit that needs to be evaluated for life.

[0035] As an aircraft-borne equipment, the auxiliary power unit should work normally under the vibration conditions generated by various aircraft working conditions, and should not fail or be damaged during its service life due to the vibration environment. Currently, the random vibration strength assessment of the auxiliary power unit mostly adopts the establishment of an independent specific component finite element model, and applies random vibration loads to the model. However, the random vibration load transmitted from the aircraft to the auxiliary power unit is at the cabin wall, and the random vibration load transmitted to the components or accessories is unknown and may be large or small. The existing analysis and assessment methods are directly applied to the finite element model of the components, which is wrong.

[0036] Therefore, in order to avoid the above problems, a digital model of the target auxiliary power unit as a whole will be established, and the first component that needs to be evaluated for life will be determined. When the life of the first component is evaluated, the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit will be used for testing.

[0037] In an optional solution, generating a target auxiliary power unit digital model according to the target auxiliary power unit may include steps A1-A5:

[0038] Step A1: According to the target auxiliary power unit, a component digital model of each component in the target auxiliary power unit is established, and the component digital model is a detailed finite element digital model.

[0039] Step A2, determining at least one first component digital model, at least one second component digital model and at least one third component digital model from the component digital models, the second component digital model is a digital model constructed for a component having a load-bearing specific gravity greater than or equal to a preset specific gravity in the target auxiliary power unit, and the third component digital model is a digital model constructed for a component having a load-bearing specific gravity less than a preset specific gravity in the target auxiliary power unit.

[0040] Step A3, determining at least one digital model structural feature in the second component digital model and the third component digital model, and determining a target digital model structural feature from each digital model structural feature, wherein the target digital model structural feature is a digital model structural feature whose influence on the stiffness of the component digital model is less than a preset influence.

[0041] Step A4: simplify the structural features of the target digital model to obtain a fourth component digital model corresponding to the second component digital model and a fifth component digital model corresponding to the third component digital model.

[0042] Step A5: Obtain a target auxiliary power unit digital model according to the fourth component digital model, the fifth component digital model and the first component digital model.

[0043] The second component digital model is a digital model constructed for a component in the target auxiliary power unit whose load-bearing weight is greater than or equal to a preset weight. The third component digital model is a digital model constructed for a component in the target auxiliary power unit whose load-bearing weight is less than a preset weight. The target digital model structural feature is a digital model structural feature whose influence on the stiffness of the component digital model is less than a preset influence. The fourth component digital model is a data model obtained by simplifying the corresponding target digital model structural feature of the second component digital model. The fifth component digital model is a data model obtained by simplifying the corresponding target digital model structural feature of the third component digital model.

[0044] After the target auxiliary power unit is determined, the various components included in the target auxiliary power unit can be determined. At this time, each component can be modeled to obtain a component digital model of each component.

[0045] In order to ensure that the component digital model can have the characteristics of each component in actual circumstances, the component digital model will be established as a detailed finite element digital model.

[0046] After obtaining the component digital model of each component, since different components have different load-bearing ratios in the target auxiliary power unit, the corresponding component digital model of the component with a lower load-bearing ratio has less influence on the life assessment of the first component digital model, and the determination of the structural features of the target digital model also has a certain influence. At this time, it can be considered to separate the component digital model with a load-bearing ratio less than the preset ratio from the component digital model with a load-bearing ratio greater than the preset ratio, and determine the corresponding target digital model structural features respectively. And simplify or omit the structural features of the target digital model respectively, so as to obtain the fourth component digital model corresponding to the second component digital model and the fifth component digital model corresponding to the third component digital model.

[0047] Finally, the digital model of the fourth component and the digital model of the fifth component form a complete initial digital model of the target auxiliary power unit, and the digital model of the first component replaces the position of the first component in the initial digital model to generate the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit.

[0048] By determining at least one second component digital model and at least one third component digital model, when subsequently simplifying the at least one second component digital model and the at least one third component digital model, the rigidity characteristics of the component digital models can be kept as unchanged as possible, thereby avoiding errors caused by different rigidity characteristics in subsequent experiments and reducing the amount of calculation in the evaluation process, thereby improving the evaluation efficiency.

[0049] In an optional solution, obtaining the target auxiliary power unit digital model according to the fourth component digital model, the fifth component digital model and the first component digital model may include steps B1-B2:

[0050] Step B1: Bind the fourth component digital model and the fifth component digital model by flange surface to obtain an initial target auxiliary power unit digital model.

[0051] Step B2: replacing the component digital model corresponding to the first component digital model in the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model with the first component digital model to obtain the target auxiliary power unit digital model.

[0052] After obtaining the digital model of the fourth component and the digital model of the fifth component, in order to ensure the stability of the connection and the accuracy of the subsequent vibration transmission process, it is possible to consider flange surface binding the digital model of the fourth component and the digital model of the fifth component, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the digital model of the fourth component and the digital model of the fifth component, thereby obtaining the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model.

[0053] In addition, after obtaining the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model, in order to ensure the accuracy of the first component digital model in subsequent simulations, it is necessary to replace the component digital model corresponding to the first component digital model in the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model with the first component digital model, thereby using the unsimplified first component digital model to replace the component digital model corresponding to the first component digital model in the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent evaluation results.

[0054] In an optional solution, the fourth component digital model and the fifth component digital model are flange-bound to obtain an initial target auxiliary power unit digital model, which may include C1-C2:

[0055] Step C1, connecting the fourth component digital model with flange surface bolts to obtain the first target device component assembly digital model.

[0056] Step C2: generating an initial target auxiliary power unit digital model based on the first target device component group digital model and the fifth component digital model.

[0057] Since the digital model of the fourth component is a data model obtained by simplifying the structural features of the corresponding target digital model of the digital model of the second component, and the digital model of the second component is a digital model constructed by components with a load-bearing specific gravity greater than or equal to the preset specific gravity in the target auxiliary power unit, the digital model of the fourth component needs to be responsible for bearing a larger load, or even a more critical load, in the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit. Therefore, in order to ensure that it can meet the load-bearing requirements, the digital model of the fourth component will be connected with a flange surface bolt structure to obtain the digital model of the first target device component group.

[0058] After the first target device component assembly digital model is obtained, the fifth component digital model is connected to the first target device component assembly digital model by flange surface binding, thereby obtaining an initial target auxiliary power unit digital model.

[0059] In an optional solution, after the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model is generated based on the first target device component assembly digital model and the fifth component digital model, the method further includes steps D1-D2:

[0060] Step D1, determining the mass deviation and center of mass position deviation between the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model and the target auxiliary power unit.

[0061] Step D2: If the mass deviation is greater than the first deviation threshold or the mass center position deviation is greater than the second deviation threshold, adjust the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model until the mass deviation is less than the first deviation threshold and the mass center position deviation is less than the second deviation threshold.

[0062] After the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model is constructed, in order to ensure that the simulation results are more consistent with the actual situation of the target auxiliary power unit, it is necessary to judge the mass and center of mass position of the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model.

[0063] Therefore, it is necessary to determine the mass and center of mass position of the constructed initial target auxiliary power unit digital model and the target auxiliary power unit, and calculate the deviation in mass and center of mass position between the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model and the target auxiliary power unit, so as to obtain the mass deviation and center of mass position deviation.

[0064] When the mass deviation is greater than the first deviation threshold or the center of mass position deviation is greater than the second deviation threshold, it will be determined that the constructed initial target auxiliary power unit digital model is difficult to simulate the state of the target auxiliary power unit in actual work. At this time, the initial target auxiliary power unit digital model will be adjusted until the mass deviation is less than the first deviation threshold and the center of mass position deviation is less than the second deviation threshold.

[0065] S120, determining a vibration transmission point on the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit, where the vibration transmission point is a starting point for performing a random vibration test on the target auxiliary power unit.

[0066] S130, taking the vibration transmission point as the random vibration starting point, performing a random vibration test on the target auxiliary power unit digital model to obtain the vibration speed and vibration stress corresponding to each first component.

[0067] Since the auxiliary power unit is generally installed on an aircraft, the vibration transmission of the auxiliary power unit often comes from the connection point between the aircraft and the auxiliary power unit. In order to reduce the error between the evaluation result and the actual result of the life assessment, it is necessary to determine the vibration transmission point on the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit through the actual working conditions and actual connection relationship of the target auxiliary power unit, and to perform random vibration testing with the vibration transmission point as the starting point during the subsequent life assessment. Through random vibration testing, the vibration speed and vibration stress corresponding to each first component during the test process can be obtained.

[0068] S140: Determine life information of the first component, where the life information reflects the relationship between the stress level and the material life.

[0069] S150: Determine a life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit according to the life information, vibration velocity, and vibration stress of the first component.

[0070] The life information of the first component may be determined by determining a construction material of the first component and determining an SN curve of the construction material, wherein the SN curve reflects a relationship between a stress level and a material life.

[0071] After the vibration velocity and the vibration stress are obtained, the number of cycles experienced by the digital model of the first component during the test can be determined, and the SN curve can be used to determine whether damage will occur under the number of cycles experienced, thereby obtaining the final life assessment result.

[0072] By determining the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit according to the life information, vibration speed and vibration stress of the first component, the accuracy of the determined final life assessment result is ensured.

[0073] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, by determining the target auxiliary power unit, generating a target auxiliary power unit digital model based on the target auxiliary power unit, and subsequently performing an overall test, the problem of large errors in the evaluation results when the existing analysis and evaluation method is directly applied to the finite element model of a single component is avoided; in addition, by determining the vibration transmission points on the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit, and taking the vibration transmission points as the starting points of random vibration, a random vibration test is performed on the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit to obtain the vibration speed and vibration stress corresponding to each first component, thereby reducing the error between the evaluation result of the life evaluation and the actual result; by determining the life evaluation result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit based on the life information, vibration speed and vibration stress of the first component, the accuracy of the final life evaluation result determined is guaranteed.

[0074] Embodiment 2

[0075] Figure 2 The present invention provides a flowchart of another auxiliary power unit component life assessment method. Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further optimizes the process of determining the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit according to the life information, vibration speed and vibration stress of the first component in the above embodiment. This embodiment can be combined with various optional solutions in one or more of the above embodiments. Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary power unit component life assessment method of this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0076] S210, determining a target auxiliary power unit, and generating a digital model of the target auxiliary power unit according to the target auxiliary power unit, wherein the target auxiliary power unit includes a first component, which is a component requiring life assessment, and the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit includes a digital model of the first component, which is generated by modeling the first component.

[0077] S220. Determine a vibration transmission point on the digital model of the target auxiliary power unit, where the vibration transmission point is a starting point for performing a random vibration test on the target auxiliary power unit.

[0078] S230, taking the vibration transmission point as the random vibration starting point, performing a random vibration test on the target auxiliary power unit digital model to obtain the vibration speed and vibration stress corresponding to each first component.

[0079] S240: Determine life information of the first component, where the life information reflects the relationship between the stress level and the material life.

[0080] S250 : Determine an average frequency of random vibration of the first component based on the vibration velocity and the vibration stress.

[0081] S260: Determine the number of cycles experienced by the first component in the random vibration test according to the test time of the random vibration test and the average frequency of the random vibration.

[0082] S270: Determine the allowable number of cycles of the first component according to the life information of the first component.

[0083] S280. Determine a life assessment result of a first component in a target auxiliary power unit according to the number of experienced cycles and the number of allowed cycles.

[0084] After the vibration velocity and the vibration stress are obtained, the average frequency of random vibration of the first component is obtained by dividing the vibration velocity by the vibration stress. After the average frequency of random vibration is obtained, the number of cycles experienced by the first component during the random vibration test can be determined according to the test time of the random vibration test and the average frequency of random vibration.

[0085] At this time, the experienced cycle number and the allowed cycle number can be compared to determine whether the experienced cycle number is within the allowed cycle number, thereby determining the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit.

[0086] The random vibration average frequency of the first component is determined based on the vibration velocity and the vibration stress, and the number of cycles experienced by the first component in the random vibration test is determined according to the test time of the random vibration test and the average frequency of the random vibration. Finally, the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit is determined based on the number of experienced cycles and the allowable number of cycles, so that the final life assessment process is more accurate and clear.

[0087] In an optional solution, determining the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit according to the number of experienced cycles and the number of allowed cycles may include steps E1-E2:

[0088] Step E1: If the number of experienced cycles is less than the allowed number of cycles, the service life of the first component meets the preset service life.

[0089] Step E2: If the number of experienced cycles is greater than the allowed number of cycles, the service life of the first component does not meet the preset service life.

[0090] After obtaining the number of experienced cycles and the number of allowed cycles, the number of experienced cycles and the number of allowed cycles can be compared. When the number of experienced cycles is less than the number of allowed cycles, it indicates that the life of the first component does not meet the preset life, and it indicates that the first component may be damaged during use. When the number of experienced cycles is greater than the number of allowed cycles, it indicates that the life of the first component does not meet the preset life, and it indicates that the first component will not be damaged during use.

[0091] By comparing the number of experienced cycles with the number of allowed cycles, various situations that may occur during the actual use of the first component can be more clearly identified, thereby making the evaluation result clearer.

[0092] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the average frequency of random vibration of the first component is determined based on the vibration velocity and the vibration stress, and the number of cycles experienced by the first component in the random vibration test is determined according to the test time of the random vibration test and the average frequency of random vibration. Finally, the life assessment result of the first component in the target auxiliary power unit is determined according to the number of experienced cycles and the allowable number of cycles, so that the final life assessment process is more accurate and clear.
