Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fault analysis control, and in particular relates to a method for fault analysis control of an aero-engine blade. Background Art

[0002] In the structural design and manufacturing of aero-engine shoulder blades, the main considerations are to reduce aerodynamic effects and ensure dry friction vibration reduction effects. However, there is little research on the failure modes of shoulder blades during repair. However, in the actual use of blades, the unreliable matching of shoulder blades often leads to misalignment and overlap of blades, which can seriously affect the service safety of aero-engines. The failure mechanism is often closely related to the tightness control of blade shoulders. If the tightness is too small or too large, it is difficult to ensure the dry friction vibration reduction effect of the shoulder itself. At present, the domestic aero-engine repair industry has found that when disassembling and inspecting the shoulder blades of a certain imported aero-engine during repair, it has been found that there is a large area of ​​​​pieces of debris on the wear-resistant layer of the shoulder working surface of adjacent blades, and there are overlap marks on the shoulder profile, which greatly increases the difficulty of repair.

[0003] How to improve the quality of blades during the repair process to reduce the risk of misalignment and overlap failure of aircraft engine shoulder blades during use is something worth studying today. Summary of the invention

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] During the actual use of blades with bosses in aircraft engines, the blades with bosses often have unreliable matching, resulting in misalignment and overlap of the blades, which can seriously affect the service safety of the aircraft engine. The mechanism of the failure is often closely related to the control of the tightness of the blade boss. If the tightness is too small or too large, it is difficult to ensure the dry friction vibration reduction effect of the boss itself. If there is an unstable distorted airflow in the flow passage in front of the engine, it is very easy for the blade boss to be misaligned or overlapped. To this end, the inventor compared the dimensional data of the bosses of a faulty engine and a fault-free engine that have served for one life cycle, and found that there are differences in the dimensional data of the two. Therefore, the corresponding processing standards can be formulated based on the dimensional data of the bosses of a fault-free engine that has served for one life cycle, so as to realize the detection and control of the processing quality. Specifically, the present invention discloses an aircraft engine blade fault analysis control method including steps S01 to S05.

[0024] Step S01, obtaining a data set of an engine blade, wherein the data set includes dimension data of a fault-free engine shoulder that has served for one life cycle, wherein the shoulder includes a front shoulder and a rear shoulder.

[0025] Step S02, based on the dimension data of the fault-free engine shoulder, determine the mathematical expectation u value of the normal distribution center of the fault-free engine shoulder width and the number of distributions of the shoulder dimension x in the intervals f(-σ~+σ), f(x>+σ), and f(x<-σ), respectively, where σ is the variance of the dimension data in the data set.

[0026] Specifically, σ can be calculated based on the u value. The distribution diagram of the shoulder size of a fault-free engine blade in a specific implementation is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0027] Step S03, calculating the average value and the moving range mean of the size of the boss of the engine without fault in the data set.

[0028] Step S04, determining the upper limit, middle limit and lower limit of the shoulder size according to the average value and the moving range mean.

[0029] To ensure the stability of process quality, real-time data monitoring is performed using the single value-range moving control method in the statistical tool of Six Sigma. Specifically, the upper limit value of the shoulder size UCL x , medium limit CL x , lower limit LCL x They are:

[0030]

[0031] in, is the average size of the boss of a non-faulty engine, It is the moving range mean of the size of the boss of a non-faulty engine.

[0032] Step S05, obtain the blade shoulder size data of the same batch of processed blades and detect and analyze the blade shoulder size data of the batch according to the distribution quantity, upper limit value, middle limit value and lower limit value of the shoulder size x in the range of f(-σ~+σ), f(x>+σ), f(x<-σ).

[0033] The ideal shoulder size data in the repair process is near the middle limit and between the upper and lower limits. If at least one of the shoulder size data of the blades processed in this batch is greater than the upper limit or less than the lower limit, it is determined that the blade size of this batch is out of tolerance, that is, there are potential problems in the processing process, such as Figure 1The quality control diagram in a specific embodiment is shown in FIG. By forming a quality control diagram, the processing process of different personnel can be judged by the aggregation and dispersion of data, which is convenient for process quality monitoring and analysis.

[0034] If all the shoulder dimension data of the blade shoulder dimension data processed in this batch are greater than the lower limit and less than the upper limit, the dimensions of the blades processed in this batch are determined to be qualified. The quality control level of the operator when performing the processing procedure can also be determined based on the distribution of the blade shoulder dimension data processed in this batch. Specifically, since the ideal shoulder size data is near the middle limit, the first standard number below the upper limit and at a first distance from the upper limit, and the second standard number above the lower limit and at a second distance from the lower limit are determined according to the distribution quantity of the shoulder size x of the data set in the interval f(-σ~+σ), f(x>+σ), and f(x<-σ); then, according to the distribution of the shoulder sizes of the blades processed in this batch, the first comparison number of the shoulder sizes of the blades processed in this batch with a first distance from the upper limit and the second comparison number with a second distance from the lower limit are determined; finally, the first standard number is compared with the first comparison number, and the second standard number is compared with the second comparison number; if the first standard number is less than the first comparison number and / or the second standard number is less than the second comparison number, it is determined that the quality control level of the operator when performing the processing procedure needs to be improved, otherwise, the quality control level of the operator when performing the processing procedure is high.

[0035] That is, this step uses the size data of the boss in the data set to determine the distribution dispersion of the qualified blade size processing, and determines the standard number of the entire blade boss size distribution at the middle limit value, the standard number close to the upper limit value, and the standard number close to the lower limit value. If the first standard number is less than the first comparison number and / or the second standard number is less than the second comparison number, that is, the blade boss size is unevenly dispersed, concentrated on the upper limit or concentrated on the lower limit, then skill improvement is required to provide standard support for quality control.

[0036] For example, taking the data set including 38 processed blades as an example, according to the 3σ principle, the probability that the value is distributed in (u~-σ, u~+σ) is 68.27%, and the u value is 50.25mm. The determined first standard quantity and second standard quantity are both less than or equal to 6.

[0037] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described herein are intended to help readers understand the principles of the present invention, and should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to such specific statements and embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various other specific variations and combinations that do not deviate from the essence of the present invention based on the technical revelations disclosed by the present invention, and these variations and combinations are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
