Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of variable cycle engines, and particularly relates to a length adjusting device for a turbine guide vane of a gas turbine aero-engine and a test method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The working environment of an aero-engine is complex and changeable in actual work, and such working conditions require the aero-engine to have certain variable working condition adaptability. The variable working condition of an aero-engine mainly refers to the ability to adjust the working state with the change of working conditions when working at a non-design working point, so as to obtain higher working efficiency, and a variable cycle engine emerges as the times require.

[0003] A variable cycle engine is an engine that changes the thermodynamic cycle characteristics of the engine by changing the geometry, size or position of some components of the engine. A variable geometry turbine is one of the main components of a variable cycle engine. At present, most variable geometry turbines adjust the angle of turbine guide vanes to control the flow rate of the engine, so as to improve the acceleration and deceleration characteristics of the aero-engine group and improve the operating efficiency at a lower power state. Although the turbine with adjustable guide vane angle improves the adaptability of the aero-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 guide vane end wall and the casing wall from being scraped or stuck. This structure produces some additional efficiency loss 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, and the guide vane has a twist angle at each cross section, and the upper and lower end walls have an inclination angle. The expansion of the gap during the angle adjustment process will inevitably increase the loss.

[0004] In the turbine guide vane angle adjusting mechanism, the guide vane rotation will inevitably produce a gap, which will inevitably cause efficiency loss. If the guide vane is no longer rotating and can still adjust the turbine rotor speed, the efficiency loss caused by the gap leakage can be solved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new and effective turbine guide vane height adjusting mechanism to reduce the gap leakage loss and achieve the change of the gas flow rate in the flow passage, thereby controlling the speed of the turbine rotor, so as to optimize the working efficiency of the aero-engine under partial load.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application is described and explained below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application. Based on the examples provided in the present application, all other examples obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of the present application.

[0050] Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of the present application, and for those of ordinary skill in the art, the present application can also be applied to other similar scenarios without making creative efforts based on these drawings. In addition, it can be understood that although the efforts made in this development process can be complex and lengthy, for those of ordinary skill in the art related to the content disclosed in the present application, some design, manufacture or production changes based on the technical content disclosed in the present application are only routine technical means and should not be understood as insufficient disclosure of the present application.

[0051] In the present application, "example" means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in combination with the example can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it independent or alternative to other embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described in the present application can be combined with other embodiments without conflict.

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

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

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 the outermost radius of the inner ring frame 2 is 220 mm. The radius of 106 mm-215 mm is subjected to cutting treatment, and the cutting thickness needs to be greater than the sum of the thickness of the transmission connecting rod 5 itself and the thickness of the assembled pin end, so as to ensure that the transmission connecting rod 5 can still rotate without jamming between the inner ring frame 2 and the driving wheel disc 1 after assembly. Subsequently, the hollowing weight reduction treatment is carried out, and each trapezoidal notch 23 corresponds to an initial assembly position of the transmission connecting rod 5, and a matching space is left for the assembly required tooling. The arrayed inner ring hollow holes 21 on the outermost cylindrical surface are matched with the cuboid bosses 44 on both sides of the base 43, which allows the guide vane 4 to slide relative to the inner ring frame 2 and restricts the rotation of the guide vane 4, thereby restricting the freedom of the guide vane.

[0055] As shown in Figure 4 the outer ring sealing frame 3 is processed by a boss with a radius of 315 mm-320 mm. The installation edge is designed on the inlet side to realize fixed constraint. The hollow structure on the outer cylindrical surface, i.e. the outer ring hollow hole 31, is completely matched with the shape of the guide vane 41, and the outer ring hollow hole 31 is assisted by the outer sealing sheet 7 added outside the outer ring hollow hole 31 to realize the auxiliary sealing of the outer ring hollow hole 31. 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 shaft, and the guide vane 41 can adjust the length along the outer ring sealing frame 3 in the radial direction.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the length of the guide vane 4 is 90 mm, which is determined by considering the matching stroke range of the guide vane sealing groove 45 and the sliding sealing piece 6, the height adjustment stroke range of the guide vane 4 itself, and the gas sealing factor. The edge of the base 43 is designed as a circular arc transition structure. The radius of the opening at the bottom of the base 43 is 4 mm, which 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 disc 1 to optimize the driving torque of the connecting rod, and it is easier to drive the guide vane 4. The bosses 44 on both sides of the base 43 form a structural self-locking with the inner ring frame 2, which limits the excessive degrees of freedom of the guide vane 4 and reduces the disturbance caused by high-speed airflow. The axial hole provided on the rim plate 42 is a threaded hole with a radius of 2 mm, which is used for adding a fairing. The sliding sealing piece 6 with a positioning guide groove is installed in the guide vane sealing groove 45. When the length of the guide vane 4 is adjusted, the gap between the adjacent rim plates 42 increases, and the gap is filled by the sliding of the sliding sealing piece 6 in the guide vane sealing groove 45 on both sides of the adjacent guide vane 4, thereby continuing to maintain the sealing of the main flow passage. The staggered sealing structure is integrated in the compact guide vane 4, and the included angle between the adjacent guide vanes 4 is 10°. Therefore, the included angle between the guide vane sealing groove 45 and the central axis of the guide vane 4 is 95°, which ensures that the guide vane sealing groove 45 at the adjacent rim plate 42 remains parallel when the length of the guide vane 4 is adjusted.

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

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

[0059] As shown in Figure 9As shown, the seal piece hole 71 on the external seal piece 7 is the same as the guide vane 41 profile, which allows the guide vane 41 to pass through and slide. The external seal piece 7 has two mounting and positioning holes, which can be assembled with the hole positions on the outer ring of the outer ring seal frame 3 through a pin, and cooperates with the guide vane surface of the outer ring seal frame 3 to form a seal. One guide vane corresponds to one external seal piece 7, which is convenient for replacement during maintenance. According to the actual sealing condition, the thickness of the seal piece can be increased to enhance the sealing effect.

[0060] As shown in Figure 10 , four layers of sealing groove structures are machined in the slot on the external seal piece 7, which realizes sealing by forming a slit-cavity with the guide vane surface, and can further rely on the cooling airflow between the outer ring seal frame 3 and the casing to assist in sealing.

[0061] As shown in Figure 11 , the external seal piece 7 is installed as a secondary sealing measure on the outer ring of the outer ring seal frame 3.

[0062] As shown in Figure 12 , a labyrinth seal structure is designed between the sliding seal piece 6 and the guide vane sealing groove 45 to improve the sealing effect. In the actual working process, the sliding seal piece 6 and the sealing groove will also be affected by the pressure difference between the inner and outer cavities, and will be pressed tightly with each other to form a seal.

[0063] As shown in Figure 13 , the engine outer casing 8 is directly assembled with the outer ring seal frame 3 of the adjusting mechanism, and the secondary seal piece, i.e. the external seal piece 7, is located in the interlayer of the two.

[0064] The assembly of the improved guide vane length adjusting device of the gas turbine aero-engine includes the following steps:

[0065] Step 1: The 36 disc positioning points 11 on the circumference of the drive wheel disc 1 are connected with one end of the transmission connecting rod 5 through a standard M8 pin.

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

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

[0068] Step 4: After inserting the guide vane 4, the outer ring seal frame 3 is moved along its own axial direction to align the guide vane 4 with the inner ring hollow hole 21 of the inner ring frame 2.

[0069] Step 5: The length of the guide vane 4 is shortened, and the base 43 of the guide vane 4 is connected with the transmission connecting rod 5 through a standard M8 pin.

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

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

[0072] Step 1: After modeling and assembling the drive wheel 1, inner ring frame 2, outer ring sealing frame 3, guide vane 4, transmission connecting rod 5, and sliding sealing plate 6, add moving bodies and kinematic pairs to each structural module.

[0073] Step 2: Using the drive wheel 1 as the drive pair, the drive wheel 1 and the transmission link 5 are set as a rotating pair, and the transmission link 5 moves synchronously with the assembly point of the drive wheel 1.

[0074] Step 3: The transmission link 5 and the base 43 are assembled with concentric cylinders to form a rotating pair, and the base 43 moves synchronously with the transmission link 5;

[0075] Step 4: The guide vane 41 and the outer ring sealing frame 3 are in sliding fit. Therefore, 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 inner ring frame 2 along the main axis direction. The sliding sealing plate 6 and the guide vane sealing groove 45 are relatively sliding. Therefore, the sliding sealing plate 6 and the guide vane sealing groove 45 are set as a sliding pair. The sliding sealing plate 6 moves synchronously with the two connected flanges 42.

[0077] Step 6: After the initial simulation, import the adjustment mechanism model and the set kinematic pair files into professional kinematic simulation software for more detailed motion simulation and obtain demonstration animations, such as... Figure 14 As shown and key data for each moving body, as follows Figure 15 As shown;

[0078] Step 7: Modify all virtual test pieces to solids, and set the motion simulation to stop when solid interference occurs. Verify whether the overall structure conforms to ideal motion and whether interference occurs between the virtual test pieces. Verify the working stroke range of the designed gas turbine aero-engine guide vane length adjustment device;

[0079] Step 8: The feasibility of the design is verified by using professional kinematics simulation software. According to the data exported by the simulation, it can be seen that the speed and acceleration change between the control mechanism and the controlled guide vane is smooth, and there is no mutation, and there is no interference between the structural entities in the movement process, which indicates that the length adjusting mechanism design is reliable and stable. According to the calculation, the maximum area adjustment of the blade length adjustment can be achieved 20%, which can meet the complex actuation of the new generation of aero-engine.

[0080] Step 9: After the simulation data is exported from the software, it is processed several times to obtain the control relationship and fitting equation between the wheel disc rotation angle and the guide vane adjustment length, wherein the fitting equation is:

[0081]

[0082] Wherein y is the guide vane adjustment length, unit: mm; x is the wheel disc rotation angle, unit: deg. Under this control relationship, the adjustment length of the blade can be determined by the rotation angle of the wheel disc as shown in Figure 16

[0083] Step 10: Whether the stroke of the gas turbine aero-engine guide vane blade length adjustment device meets the design expectation is verified by the test data curve, and the angle and angular velocity of the driving wheel disc 1 are set according to the fitting curve.

[0084] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any technical solutions falling within the concept of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, some improvements and decorations without departing from the principles of the present application shall be considered as the protection scope of the present application.​
