Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas turbine engines, and in particular to a test platform for the robustness of comb tooth sealing in a non-rigid rotor system. Background Art

[0002] Comb seal (or labyrinth seal) is a typical rotary-static seal structure. It is widely used in secondary flow air systems of gas turbine engines due to its simple structure, reliability and high efficiency sealing performance. It performs multiple functions in the secondary flow air system, such as bearing cavity lubricating oil sealing, rotor axial force adjustment, and wheel rim gas sealing.

[0003] As a complex system composed of multiple components, the gas turbine engine has the characteristics of "strong integrity". During operation, the rotor system is subjected to both thermal loads (thermal stress) and mechanical loads (centrifugal force, aerodynamic force, etc.), which results in radial centrifugal deformation and thermal deformation, as well as axial tensile deformation. As a part of the rotor system, the radial centrifugal deformation and thermal deformation of the comb seal will change the sealing gap of the comb teeth, and the axial tensile deformation will change the axial relative position of the comb disc and the sealing ring. The changes in the sealing gap and axial relative position affect the sealing performance of the comb teeth, and thus affect various functions in the air system, such as sealing and rotor axial force adjustment.

[0004] However, current experimental studies on the sealing characteristics of grate teeth usually only focus on the grate teeth themselves, and conduct research on the sealing performance optimization of the grate teeth under the condition that the inlet and outlet boundaries of the grate teeth remain unchanged, and pay more attention to the sealing performance of the grate teeth under a single working condition and a single gap / axial displacement. However, the actual performance of the grate teeth in the system environment is not considered, nor is the impact of gap changes or axial displacement changes on the grate teeth sealing performance and system response. This may cause the grate teeth sealing flow to be highly sensitive to gap changes or axial displacements in the system environment (the robustness of the grate teeth sealing is poor), which may lead to the problem that the rotor axial force is sensitive to gap changes or axial displacements.

[0005] Most of the existing test bench designs or test methods for comb tooth seals are based on rigid assumptions or near-rigid assumptions, and are unable to simulate the axial displacement in a real rotor system to influence the comb tooth seal performance. At the same time, they can only study the influence of a single factor change of axial displacement or radial clearance on the comb tooth seal performance. It is impossible to conduct experimental research on the influence of axial displacement, radial clearance, aerodynamic force, etc. on the comb tooth seal performance under coupling effects, and it is impossible to evaluate the robustness of the comb tooth seal during operation. Summary of the invention

[0043] The gas spring 201 is connected to one end of the gas charging and discharging pipeline 204, and the other end of the gas charging and discharging pipeline 204 is connected to the barometer 205.

[0046] In this embodiment, the comb element test section 3 includes a main installation shaft 301, a linear bearing 302, a shaft universal seal 303, a linear bearing pressure cover 304, a universal seal pressure plate 305, an electric heating plate 306, an air intake cavity 307, a radial displacement sensor 308, a sealing ring 309, a temperature control annular cavity 310, an end cover 311, a comb disc 312, an axial displacement sensor 313, an exhaust system interface 314, a sensor lead hole 315, a locking nut 316 and a comb disc mounting seat 317;

[0047] The air inlet cavity 307 is installed on the mounting base plate 102, the sealing ring 309 is installed on the side of the air inlet cavity 307, the comb disc 312 is located inside the sealing ring 309, the end cover 311 is installed on the side of the sealing ring 309 away from the air inlet cavity 307, one end of the main mounting shaft 301 is installed on the side of the main shaft connecting mounting plate 207, and the other end passes through the air inlet cavity 307, the comb disc 312 and the end cover 311, linear bearings 302 are provided between the main mounting shaft 301 and the air inlet cavity 307, and between the main mounting shaft 301 and the end cover 311, and the ends of the linear bearings 302 are provided with shaft universal seals 303, linear bearing pressure covers 304 and universal seal pressure plates 305, and a comb disc mounting seat is provided between the main mounting shaft 301 and the comb disc 312 and fixed with a locking nut 316;

[0048] The electric heating plate 306 is arranged on the surface of the comb disk 312, an annular air intake cavity is arranged inside the air intake cavity 307, the radial displacement sensor 308 is arranged on the outer wall of the sealing ring 309, the temperature control annular cavity 310 is arranged inside the sealing ring 309, the axial displacement sensor 313 is arranged on the inner wall of the end cover 311, the exhaust system interface 314 is arranged on the outer wall of the end cover 311, and the sensor lead hole 315 is arranged on the main installation shaft 301.

[0049] In this embodiment, the axial displacement mechanism 1 is a mechanical mechanism for adjusting the axial position of the rotor system and simulating the axial displacement of the rotor system caused by aerodynamic forces. During the test, the former axial position adjustment / axial displacement needs to be achieved through the subjective will of the tester, that is, the magnitude of the axial position adjustment is determined by the tester, and the axial position adjustment includes both the adjustment of the axial initial position and the axial displacement applied during the test. This article refers to the change in axial displacement as axial displacement deviation injection; while the axial displacement generated by the latter is the ability or attribute of the test system itself, and the magnitude of the axial displacement is determined by the test conditions.

[0050] Specifically, for adjusting the axial position of the rotor system, the servo motor 103 outputs power to the ball screw 111 through the reducer 104 and the coupling 105. The rotation of the ball screw 111 drives the screw nut 110 to move axially. The screw nut 110 drives the movable base plate 106 to move axially through the screw nut connector 109. The movable base plate 106 slides on the linear guide rail 114 through the second slider group 116, thereby changing the axial position of the variable stiffness system 2. Figure 4 As shown, the position control of the servo motor 103 is used to convert the rotational motion into linear motion, thereby achieving axial position control of the load.

[0051] For the axial displacement change of the rotor system caused by aerodynamic force, the aerodynamic axial force of the comb element test section 3 is transmitted to the gas spring 201 through the main shaft connection mounting plate 207, the reinforcing rib 206 and the force sensor mounting plate 209. Under the action of the force, the piston rod of the gas spring (201) is compressed to generate an axial displacement. The main shaft connection mounting plate 207, the reinforcing rib 206 and the slider mounting plate 208 move axially on the linear guide rail 114 along with the first slider group 115, thereby simulating the axial displacement change of the rotor system under the action of aerodynamic force, wherein the force direction of each component is as follows: Fig. 9 The slider group 115 is mounted on the linear guide rail 114 , and the reinforcing rib 206 , the spindle connection mounting plate 207 , and the force sensor mounting plate 209 are connected to the slider group 115 via the slider mounting plate 208 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the variable stiffness system 2 is a subsystem capable of continuously adjusting the axial stiffness. The working medium of the gas spring 201 includes but is not limited to compressible gases such as air and nitrogen. Figure 8 As shown, the purpose is to utilize the compressibility of gas to achieve continuous adjustment of the stiffness of the gas spring, thereby achieving stiffness adjustment of the entire rotor system.

[0053] In this embodiment, the comb tooth element test section 3 is a subsystem that can test comb tooth discs with different tooth structures.

[0054] Specifically, the gap deviation is injected by thermal deformation. Since the gap is the matching gap between the sealing ring and the comb disc, this test introduces circulating cooling water into the annular cavity inside the sealing ring to ensure that the sealing ring is in a constant temperature environment without thermal deformation or minimizes thermal deformation, and controls the radial deformation of the comb disc by hot air heating or by arranging electric heating plates on the surface of the comb disc, that is, the gap deviation is entirely derived from the deformation of the comb disc.

[0055] In addition, the test section adopts a modular design, and different test requirements can be met by replacing the sealing ring 309 with different structures or the comb tooth plate 312 with different structures.

[0056] Specifically, first, the test bench is divided into three parts (modules), the axial displacement mechanism, the variable stiffness system and the comb element test section. Each part is connected by standard bolts, and each module can be debugged and installed separately by connecting or disconnecting the bolts. Secondly, the test section can carry out different comb tests by replacing sealing rings and comb discs of different configurations. The design requirements for the main body of the sealing ring are the same as those in this test. The specific differences can be reflected in the structure of the steps on the inner ring of the sealing ring, such as no steps or other types of steps; the design requirements for the comb disc are mainly that it can be installed with the comb disc mounting seat and the comb disc accessories, and can be replaced with the same interface.

[0057] In order to reduce the sensitivity of the comb tooth sealing performance to parameter deviations such as radial clearance and axial displacement and improve the robustness of the comb tooth sealing, this embodiment proposes a comb tooth sealing robustness test platform in a non-rigid rotor system. The test platform has active adjustment of the relative position of the comb tooth disk and the sealing ring, and the axial displacement can change with the change of aerodynamic force during the test. At the same time, the test platform has the injection of comb tooth sealing clearance deviation, and can carry out steady-state tests under different boundary conditions, different axial positions, and different sealing clearances for different comb tooth configurations, as well as system transient response tests in the presence of axial displacement deviation and radial clearance deviation.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
