Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of variable cycle engines, and in particular relates to a device for adjusting the length of a guide vane of a gas turbine aircraft engine and a test method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The actual working environment of aircraft engines is complex and changeable. Such working conditions require aircraft engines to have a certain ability to adapt to variable working conditions. The variable working conditions of aircraft engines mainly refer to the ability to adjust the working state as the working conditions change when working at non-design working points, so as to obtain higher working efficiency. Variable cycle engines came into being.

[0003] A variable cycle engine is an engine that changes its thermodynamic cycle characteristics by changing the geometry, size or position of some engine components. The variable geometry turbine is one of the most important components of a variable cycle engine. Most current variable geometry turbines control the engine flow by adjusting the angle of the turbine guide vane, thereby improving the acceleration and deceleration characteristics of the aircraft engine group and improving the operating efficiency at lower power states. Although the turbine with adjustable guide vane angle improves the adaptability of the aircraft engine under variable working conditions, due to its special structure and working process, in order to rotate the guide vane, a certain gap must be left between the end and the bottom of the guide vane to prevent the end wall of the guide vane from scratching or getting stuck with the casing wall. This structure produces some additional efficiency losses compared to the fixed geometry turbine. The size of the gap between the end and the bottom of the guide vane directly affects the degree of leakage loss. In addition, each section of the guide vane is provided with a torsion angle, and the upper and lower end walls are provided with an inclination angle. The expansion of the gap during the angle adjustment process is bound to increase the loss.

[0004] In the turbine guide vane angle adjustment mechanism, the rotation of the guide vane will inevitably produce a gap, which will inevitably lead to efficiency loss. If the guide vane can still adjust the turbine rotor speed without rotating, the efficiency loss caused by gap leakage can be solved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new and effective turbine guide vane height adjustment mechanism to reduce gap leakage loss and change the gas flow rate in the flow channel, thereby controlling the speed of the turbine rotor, thereby optimizing the working efficiency of the aircraft engine at partial load. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device and test method in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

The shape of the outer ring hollow hole is adapted to the shape of the guide vane. The external sealing sheet is provided with sealing sheet holes adapted to the shape of the guide vane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the embodiments provided in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, the present application can also be applied to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without creative work. In addition, it can also be understood that although the efforts made in this development process may be complicated and lengthy, for ordinary technicians in this field related to the content disclosed in this application, some changes in design, manufacturing or production based on the technical content disclosed in this application are just conventional technical means, and should not be understood as insufficient content disclosed in this application.

[0051] Reference to "embodiments" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described in this application may be combined with other embodiments without conflict.

[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, the gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device includes a driving wheel disc 1, an inner ring frame 2, an outer ring sealing frame 3, guide vanes 4, a transmission connecting rod 5 and a sliding sealing sheet 6.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer radius of the driving wheel disc 1 is 150mm, and the hollow radius is 106mm. The middle part is an annular boss 12 with a radius of 106mm-116mm, which can increase the stability of the driving wheel disc 1 when rotating, and the outermost part is a wheel disc positioning point 11 with a radius of 4mm.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the outermost radius of the inner ring frame 2 is 220mm. Cutting is performed at the radius of 106mm-215mm, and the cutting thickness here needs to be greater than the sum of the thickness of the transmission connecting rod 5 itself and the thickness of the end of the assembly pin, so as to ensure that after the inner ring frame 2 and the driving wheel 1 are assembled, the transmission connecting rod 5 can still rotate between the two without jamming. Subsequently, hollowing and weight reduction treatment is performed, and each trapezoidal notch 23 corresponds to an initial assembly position of a transmission connecting rod 5, and a matching space is reserved for the tooling required for assembly. The inner ring hollow holes 21 arranged in an array on the outermost cylindrical surface cooperate with the rectangular bosses 44 on both sides of the base 43. This structural design allows the guide vane 4 to slide relative to the inner ring frame 2 and limit the rotation of the guide vane 4, thereby constraining the freedom of the guide vane.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer ring sealing frame 3 is processed by a boss with a radius of 315mm-320mm. A mounting edge is designed on the air intake side to achieve fixed constraint. The hollow structure designed on the outer cylindrical surface, that is, the outer ring hollow hole 31 and the guide vane 41 are completely in shape. After adding an external sealing sheet 7 to the outside of the outer ring hollow hole 31, the auxiliary sealing of the outer ring hollow hole 31 is achieved. This design not only limits the relative rotation of the guide vane 41, but also transmits the constraint torque through the guide vane 41 to limit the rotation of the inner ring frame 2 around the axis, and the guide vane 41 can adjust the length radially along the outer ring sealing frame 3.

[0056] like Figure 5As shown, the length of the guide vane 4 is 90 mm. This data comprehensively considers the travel range of the guide vane sealing groove 45 and the sliding sealing sheet 6, the travel range of the height adjustment of the guide vane 4 itself and the gas sealing factor. The edge of the base 43 is designed as an arc transition structure. The bottommost opening of the base 43 with a radius of 4 mm is the assembly hole of the base 43 and the transmission connecting rod 5. The opening position is close to the center of the driving wheel 1 to optimize the driving torque of the connecting rod, making it easier to drive the guide vane 4. The bosses 44 on both sides of the base 43 form a self-locking structure with the inner ring frame 2, which limits the redundant freedom of the guide vane 4 and reduces the disturbance caused by the high-speed airflow. The axial hole set on the edge plate 42 is a threaded hole with a radius of 2 mm, which is used to install a fairing. The sliding sealing sheet 6 with a positioning guide groove is installed in the guide vane sealing groove 45. When the guide vane 4 is adjusted in length, the gap between the adjacent edge plates 42 increases. The sliding sealing sheet 6 slides in the guide vane sealing grooves 45 on both sides of the adjacent guide vanes 4 to fill the gap and continue to maintain the sealing of the main flow channel. The staggered sealing structure is integrated into the compact guide vane 4, and the angle between adjacent guide vanes 4 is 10°, so the angle between the guide vane sealing groove 45 and the central axis of the guide vane 4 is 95°, ensuring that the guide vane sealing grooves 45 at adjacent edge plates 42 remain parallel when the length of the guide vane 4 is adjusted.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the total length of the transmission connecting rod 5 is 75mm, which is the optimal setting considering the stiffness of the parts, the adjustment range, and the interference. The assembly holes with a radius of 4mm at both ends of the connecting rod are connected to the outer circle wheel positioning point 11 of the driving wheel 1 by pins, and the circumferential distance from the center of the connecting rod opening to the connecting rod boundary is 7.5mm. This design can leave a 2.5mm gap after the transmission connecting rod 5 and the guide blade 4 are assembled to prevent the transmission connecting rod 5 from rubbing against the lower end surface of the boss 44. The overall thickness of the transmission connecting rod 5 is 9mm. After assembly, the transmission connecting rod 5 and the inner ring frame 2 have a 6mm gap, so that the transmission connecting rod 5 does not interfere with the inner ring frame 2 after the pin is installed.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the sliding sealing sheet 6 has a width of 20 mm and a length of 40 mm, and the guide groove 61 fits the guide vane sealing groove 45, and the thickness of 4.9 mm is slightly smaller than the 5 mm gap height of the guide vane sealing groove 45, so as to reduce friction resistance and reserve tolerance. The guide groove 61 cut by the sliding sealing sheet 6 has a length of 17 mm, a center distance of 13 mm, and the cutting part does not penetrate, so as to play a sealing role.

[0059] like Fig. 9As shown, the sealing sheet hole 71 on the external sealing sheet 7 has the same blade shape as the guide vane 41, and the guide vane 41 can pass through and slide therethrough. The external sealing sheet 7 has two installation positioning holes, which can be assembled with the holes on the outer ring of the outer ring sealing frame 3 through pins, and cooperate with the surface of the guide vane extending out of the outer ring sealing frame 3 to form a seal. One guide vane corresponds to one external sealing sheet 7, which is convenient for replacement during maintenance. According to the actual sealing situation, the thickness of the sealing sheet can be increased to enhance the sealing effect.

[0060] like Fig.10 As shown, a four-layer sealing groove structure is machined in the groove on the external sealing sheet 7, and sealing is achieved by forming a slit-cavity with the guide vane surface. Similarly, the cooling airflow between the outer ring sealing frame 3 and the casing can further assist sealing.

[0061] like Fig.11 As shown, the external sealing sheet 7 is installed on the outer ring of the outer ring sealing frame 3 as a secondary sealing measure;

[0062] like Fig.12 As shown, a labyrinth seal structure is designed between the sliding seal sheet 6 and the guide vane seal groove 45 to improve the sealing effect. In actual operation, the sliding seal sheet 6 and the seal groove will also be affected by the pressure difference between the inner and outer cavities, and will be pressed against each other to form a seal.

[0063] like Fig.13 As shown, the engine outer casing 8 is directly assembled with the outer ring sealing frame 3 of the regulating mechanism, and the secondary sealing sheet, namely the external sealing sheet 7, is located in the sandwich layer between the two.

[0064] The assembly of the improved gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device comprises the following steps:

[0065] Step 1: The 36 wheel positioning points 11 on the circumference of the driving wheel 1 are connected to one end of the transmission connecting rod 5 through standard M8 pins.

[0066] Step 2: The driving wheel disc 1 is fitted with the concentric cylindrical surface of the inner ring frame 2 on the side close to the central axis.

[0067] Step 3: 36 guide vanes 4 are radially embedded in the outer ring sealing frame 3 . To facilitate assembly, the base 43 of the guide vane 4 can be attached to the inner cylindrical surface of the outer ring sealing frame 3 .

[0068] Step 4: After the guide vanes 4 are inserted, the outer ring sealing frame 3 is moved along its own axial direction until the guide vanes 4 are aligned with the inner ring hollow holes 21 of the inner ring frame 2 .

[0069] Step 5: Shorten the length of the guide blade 4 and connect the drive link 5 to the base 43 of the guide blade 4 using a standard M8 pin.

[0070] Step 6: Adjust the rotation angle of the driving wheel disc 1, link the guide blade 4 to the target length, and install the sliding seal 6 for auxiliary restraint and sealing. The sliding seal 6 is connected to the guide blade 4 with a semi-threaded M4 bolt.

[0071] A virtual test method for a gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device comprises the following steps:

[0072] Step 1: After the driving wheel 1, the inner ring frame 2, the outer ring sealing frame 3, the guide blade 4, the transmission connecting rod 5 and the sliding sealing sheet 6 are modeled and assembled, a moving body and a moving pair are added to each structural module;

[0073] Step 2: With the driving wheel disc 1 as the driving pair, the driving wheel disc 1 and the transmission connecting rod 5 are set as a revolute pair, and the transmission connecting rod 5 moves synchronously with the assembly position of the driving wheel disc 1;

[0074] Step 3: The transmission connecting rod 5 and the base 43 are assembled with concentric cylinders to set as a revolute pair, and the base 43 moves synchronously with the transmission connecting rod 5;

[0075] Step 4: The guide vane 41 and the outer ring sealing frame 3 are slidably matched, so the guide vane 41 and the outer ring sealing frame 3 are set as a sliding pair, and the outer ring sealing frame 3 is set as a fixed constraint;

[0076] Step 5: constrain the freedom of the inner ring frame 2 along the main axis direction, and the sliding sealing piece 6 and the guide vane sealing groove 45 are in relative sliding, so the sliding sealing piece 6 and the guide vane sealing groove 45 are set as a sliding pair, and the sliding sealing piece 6 moves synchronously with the two connected edge plates 42;

[0077] Step 6: After the preliminary simulation, import the adjustment mechanism model and the set motion pair files into the professional kinematics simulation software to perform more detailed motion simulation and obtain the demonstration animation. Fig.14 As shown in the figure, the key data of each moving body are as follows Fig.15 As shown;

[0078] Step 7: Modify all virtual test pieces to entities, and set the motion simulation to stop when entity interference occurs, to verify whether the overall structure fits the ideal motion and whether interference occurs between the virtual test pieces. Verify the working range of the designed gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device;

[0079] Step 8: The feasibility of the design was verified by simulation using professional kinematics simulation software. From the data derived from the simulation run, it can be seen that the speed acceleration between the control mechanism and the controlled guide vane changes smoothly without mutations, and there is no interference between structural entities during the movement, indicating that the length adjustment mechanism is reliable and stable. It is calculated that the blade length adjustment can achieve a maximum area adjustment of 20%, which can meet the complex actuation conditions of the new generation of aircraft engines.

[0080] Step 9: After the simulation data is exported from the software, it is iterated multiple times to finally obtain the control relationship and fitting equation between the wheel rotation angle and the guide vane adjustment length. The fitting equation is:

[0081]

[0082] Where y is the guide vane adjustment length, in mm; x is the wheel rotation angle, in deg. Under this control relationship, the blade adjustment length can be determined by the wheel rotation angle. Fig.16 shown.

[0083] Step 10: Verify whether the stroke of the gas turbine aircraft engine guide vane length adjustment device meets the design expectations through the test data curve, and set the angle and angular velocity of the driving wheel 1 according to the fitting curve.

[0084] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
