Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aviation engines, and in particular relates to a ceramic-based composite material single-sector combustion chamber test device and method. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) have the characteristics of light weight, high strength and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. Therefore, using CMC to replace high-temperature alloy materials to manufacture the inner and outer rings of aircraft engine combustion chambers can significantly increase the upper limit of the operating temperature of combustion chamber components, improve the overall efficiency of the engine and reduce pollution emissions. The complete CMC material combustion chamber is large in volume. In order to reduce the test cost and shorten the trial production cycle, the design verification stage usually conducts tests on a single-sector combustion chamber as a unit, that is, a sector combustion chamber corresponding to one or several combustion chamber heads is manufactured instead of a full-ring combustion chamber for testing. At present, CMC combustion chamber test devices generally require the use of metal structures to fix CMC components. When conducting high-temperature tests, the thermal expansion coefficients of CMC and metal materials are quite different, and thermal mismatch problems are prone to occur. CMC combustion chambers are easily affected by additional stress and vibration loads during the test process, which is not conducive to test assessments under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a CMC composite single-sector combustion chamber test device that can avoid thermal mismatch for engine design and optimization. Summary of the invention

In the description of this article, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two.

[0041] In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a ceramic matrix composite single sector combustion chamber test device, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1a The test device includes a test piece 1 and a fixing device 2, and its top view structure is as shown in Figure 1b As shown, Figure 1b The AA cross-section structure is as follows Figure 1c As shown. The test piece 1 is made of ceramic matrix composite material (CMC), including a frame structure formed by an outer ring sector plate 11, an inner ring sector plate 12 and two side plates 13a, 13b, which simulates the structure of a single sector of the combustion chamber as a whole; the fixing device 2 includes two fixing plates 21a, 21b, and the fixing plates 21a, 21b are provided with a tightening device 30, which abuts inwardly and tightens on the surface of the test piece 1 to form a fixation. The fixing device 2 is made of metal, and in some embodiments, one or more of heat-resistant steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium alloy can be used.

[0042] Specifically, the structures of the outer ring sector plate 11 and the inner ring sector plate 12 are as follows: Figure 2aAs shown, the outer ring sector plate 11 and the inner ring sector plate 12 are provided with air film holes 103 penetrating in the thickness direction, and the outer side of the outer ring sector plate 11 (the side away from the axis of the annular combustion chamber) is further provided with a mounting seat 111 for mounting the test equipment. The edges of the outer ring sector plate 11 / inner ring sector plate 12 connected to the side plates 13a and 13b are provided with protruding plug plates 101 for connecting with the side plates 13a and 13b. The structure of the side plates 13a and 13b is shown in FIG. Figure 2b As shown, through sockets 102 are provided at the longitudinal ends of the side plates 13a and 13b. The shape and size of the sockets 102 correspond to the plug plate 101, so as to allow the plug plate 101 to be inserted to form a cross structure, so that the outer ring sector plate 11, the inner ring sector plate 12 and the two side plates 13a and 13b are as shown. Figure 2c The two side plates 13a and 13b are connected in the manner shown. The portions of the two side plates 13a and 13b closer to the edge of the socket 102 and the portion of the plug plate 101 passing through the socket 102 form a support portion 104 that continues to extend beyond the connection position. The frame-shaped test piece 1 is formed with an intake end 10a with a larger opening and an exhaust end 10b with a smaller opening. During the test, the mixed oil and gas enter from the intake section 10a and burn in the frame structure of the test piece 1, and the burned gas is discharged from the exhaust end 10b.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cross structure formed by the outer ring fan-shaped plate 11 / inner ring fan-shaped plate 12 and the two side plates 13a / 13b can also adopt other forms. For example, the socket can be set on the outer ring fan-shaped plate 11 / inner ring fan-shaped plate 12 and the plug plate can be set on the two side plates 13a / 13b; the socket 102 can also be replaced by an L-shaped clip instead of a through hole.

[0044] The structure of the tightening device 30 is as follows: Figure 1c As shown in the B area, its enlarged structure is as follows Figure 6 As shown, combined Figure 3a , Figure 3b and Figure 4 The pressing device 30 includes a metal pressing block 31 and an elastic fastener 32. The metal pressing block 31 has a structure as shown in FIG. Figure 3a As shown, its cross section is L-shaped, and the whole cross section is swept and formed. A circular arc-shaped limiting surface 311 is provided at the turning position of the L-shape to connect with the elastic fastener 32. The two sides of the L-shape are respectively a support surface 312 for tightening the side plate and a support surface 313 for tightening the plug board 101. A clamping portion 314 is further provided on the support surface 313 to be clamped and fixed with the plug board 101. The metal pressing block 31 is provided with a variety of sizes to match the plug boards 101 of different positions and sizes.

[0045] The structure of the elastic fastener 32 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, it includes a connecting pin 322, a fastening spring 323 and a nut 324. The end of the connecting pin 322 is set as a pushing part 321 abutting against the metal pressing block 31, and a flange 325 is set near the pushing part 321 to support the fastening spring 323.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting pin 322 is configured as a smooth rod, and the inner hole of the nut 324 is configured as a smooth hole to allow the connecting pin 322 to pass through and slide relatively. The nut 324 is configured as an external thread nut and is tightened on the fixing plate through the external thread. Figure 5 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 21b are provided with inclined support ribs 211, and the support ribs 211 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 212, and the number of the mounting threaded holes 212 is consistent with the number of the plug board 101. The installation state of the tightening device 30 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the connecting pin 322 passes through the mounting hole 212, so that the pushing top portion 321 abuts against the limiting surface 311 of the metal pressure block 31 at approximately 45 degrees, and one end of the fastening spring 323 abuts against the flange 325. The externally threaded nut 324 is threaded in the mounting hole 212 so that its bottom end abuts against the other end of the fastening spring 323. The nut 324 is tightened in the mounting hole 212 through an external thread and tightened to a predetermined mounting tightening torque. During the tightening process, the tightening spring 323 pushes the flange 325 of the connecting pin 322, so that the metal pressure block 31 is abutted against the supporting portion 104 under the action of the pushing portion 321, and its supporting surface 312 presses against the side plate 13b, and the supporting surface 313 presses against the plug plate 101 at the edge of the outer ring fan plate 11; tightening devices 30 are provided on the four edges of the test piece 1 for tightening, so that the overall force of the test piece 1 is balanced, and the positions in contact with the fixing device 2 are mainly compressive stress.

[0047] In some embodiments, the tightening device 30 may be provided in more than four groups, for example, several groups of tightening devices perpendicular to the outer ring sector plate 11, the inner ring sector plate 12 and the side plates 13a, 13b may be provided to fix the test piece 1. In some embodiments, the metal pressing block may also be provided to tighten against only one plane. In some embodiments, the tightening spring 323 may also replace other elastic structures such as an elastic metal gasket.

[0048] Through the above structure, the interaction between the CMC test piece 1 and the metal fixture 2 is mainly compressive stress. When conducting a high temperature test, the thermal mismatch caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between CMC and metal is easily offset by the fixture. The support portion 104 will only be subjected to the squeezing effect from the metal pressing block 31, and the connecting pin 322 will only be subjected to the pushing effect from the fastening spring 323. The CMC structure will not be subjected to significant tensile stress or shear stress. Furthermore, the elastic fastener 32 can adaptively maintain the tight state of the metal pressing block 31 through the spring, avoid relaxation caused by thermal mismatch, and reduce the vibration of the test piece 1 during the simulated combustion process.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing device 2 further includes a head mounting frame 23, the structure of the head mounting frame 23 is as follows: Figure 8a and Figure 8b The outer side of the head mounting frame 23 (i.e., the side away from the test piece 1) is provided with mounting edges 231 on both sides, and mounting holes 232 are provided on the mounting edges 231. Figure 5 , bolts 25 pass through the mounting holes 232 and the through holes 213 on the fixing plates to fix the fixing plates 21a, 21b to the mounting edges of the head mounting frame 23. A protruding mounting rib 233 is also provided on the outside of the mounting edge 23 for mounting combustion chamber head components such as vortex finders, caps, splash plates, etc. during the test. A fixing groove 234 is provided on the inner side of the head mounting frame 23 (i.e., the side facing the test piece 1). The shape and size of the fixing groove 234 are consistent with the intake end 10a of the test piece 1, allowing the outer ring sector plate 11, the inner ring sector plate 12 and the two side plates 13a, 13b to be snapped into the fixing groove 234 to form a limit constraint along the intake direction of the combustion chamber. It should be understood that a reasonable tolerance is provided between the fixing groove 234 and the test piece 1.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing device 2 further includes a mounting plate 24, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 7 The mounting plate 24 is provided with a plurality of through holes 242. Figure 5 , the bolts 26 pass through the through holes 242 and the through holes 215 on the mounting edge 214 of the fixing plate to fix the mounting plate 24 to the two fixing plates 21a, 21b. A fan-shaped interface 241 is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 24, and the size of the fan-shaped interface 241 matches the size of the exhaust end 10b of the test piece 1 to allow the exhaust end 10b of the test piece 1 to be inserted into the fan-shaped interface 241. It should also be understood that a reasonable tolerance is provided between the fan-shaped interface 241 and the exhaust end 10b of the test piece 1. In a further preferred embodiment, a plurality of through cooling air holes 243 are provided on the mounting plate 24, which are used as cooling air flow channels during the combustion test of the combustion chamber, allowing the passage of cooling air flow for cooling.

[0051] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for testing a single-sector combustion chamber of a ceramic matrix composite material, the steps of which are as follows:

[0052] First, assemble the test piece. Figure 2a The outer ring sector plate 11 and the inner ring sector plate 12 shown in FIG. Figure 2b The side panels 13a and 13b are spliced ​​together, and the plug board 101 is inserted into the socket 102 for fixing, so as to obtain the following Figure 2c The test piece 1 shown in FIG. wherein the insert plate 101 intersects with the side plates 13 a / 13 b to form a support portion 104 .

[0053] Next, assemble the fixture. Figure 3b As shown, a metal pressing block 31 is installed on the plug board 101, and the clamping portion 314 of the metal pressing block 31 is clamped on the plug board 101. The exhaust end 10b of the test piece 1 is inserted into the fan-shaped interface 241 of the mounting plate 24, and two fixing plates 21a and 21b are arranged on the left and right sides of the test piece 1. The fixing plates 21a and 21b are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 24 by bolts 26. Next, the head mounting frame 23 is installed on the air inlet end 10a of the test piece 1, so that the fixing groove 234 of the head mounting frame 23 is clamped with the port of the air inlet end 10a of the test piece 1, and the fixing plates 21a and 21b are fixedly connected to the head mounting frame 23 by bolts 25. Subsequently, the fastening spring 323 is inserted into the stud 322 and installed into the mounting holes 212 of each supporting rib 211 of the fixing plates 21a and 21b respectively, and the nut 324 is tightened from the outside and a preset mounting clamping torque is applied to make the pushing part 321 abut against the limiting surface 311 of the metal pressure block 31, thereby transmitting the pressure of the fastening spring 323 to the supporting part 104, thereby realizing the limiting fixation of the test piece 1 by compressive stress.

[0054] Finally, each combustion chamber head assembly is installed on the mounting rib 233 of the head mounting frame 23, and the test device is installed as a whole on an external test bench to provide a closed high-temperature and high-pressure environment. Oil and gas are input from the air inlet end 10a of the test piece 1 and ignited in the test piece 1 to perform a combustion simulation test, thereby completing the test of the CMC combustion chamber test piece.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the above method is implemented using the CMC single-sector combustion chamber test piece provided in any of the aforementioned embodiments. In other embodiments, the CMC test pieces with different structures are fixed by providing compressive stress from the outside to the inside. For example, the CMC test piece is clamped and fixed by using a metal belt with a matching structure, so as to avoid the negative impact of thermal mismatch and reduce harmful vibrations.

[0056] The purpose of the above embodiments is to further explain the technical concept of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the technical concept of the present invention. Within the scope of the claims of the present invention, the optimization or equivalent replacement of the part structure or method steps involved, and the combination of implementation methods in different embodiments without conflict of structure and principle, all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
