Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aero-engines, and in particular to an oil sealing method for an aero-engine. Background Art
[0002] According to the maintenance regulations of aircraft engines, engines that are not used for a long time must be oil-sealed before being sealed. The main function of the oil seal is to inject aviation lubricating oil into the entire fuel system of the engine and fill it with the oil seal oil sprayed out during the oil seal to seal the surfaces of the combustion chamber, turbine components, and diffuser components to prevent the surfaces of the components in the fuel system from rusting and causing system failures. When the aircraft engine needs to be used, the engine is unsealed and the fuel system of the engine is flushed with fuel to remove the lubricating oil left after the oil seal. At the same time, the air in the engine fuel system is removed and the system sealing is checked. The oil sealing and unsealing operations can ensure the integrity of the engine during the storage period and ensure that the engine can be used normally after unsealing.
[0003] For engines that have been stored in ground warehouses for a long time, according to the relevant maintenance standards of the engine, the engine needs to be oil-sealed again every 6 months. At present, there are roughly two methods for oil sealing of domestic aviation engines. One is to reassemble the engine to be oil-sealed to the aircraft performing the mission for oil sealing, and the other is to send it to the repair shop for oil sealing. The existing oil sealing methods have different defects. If the oil sealing is done on the aircraft, the engine that is in good working condition needs to be dragged off the aircraft performing the mission, and then the engine to be oil-sealed is installed in the aircraft for oil sealing. After the oil sealing is completed, the original engine is installed and worked. In this way, the engine needs to be disassembled and assembled at least four times to complete the oil sealing work. The workload is large and the cycle is long. The oil sealing time of each engine is about 2 to 3 days, and the engine is assembled and disassembled on the aircraft many times, which may cause unnecessary damage to the engine. When there are many engines on the ground, the working aircraft will be occupied for a long time for oil sealing work, which seriously restricts the aircraft attendance rate. For oil sealing sent to the repair shop, the engine is loaded and transported to the repair shop, and it needs to be transported back after the oil sealing is completed. Not only is the cycle long, but the cost is also expensive. The oil sealing time of each engine is about 20 days. The engine needs to be transported and assembled and disassembled twice on the test bench, which may cause damage. In addition, each engine needs to be properly allocated for testing, which not only affects the oil seal work, but also affects the normal work progress of the repair shop.
[0004] After searching, the patent document with application publication number CN118242437A discloses a ground oil sealing method for an aircraft engine, while the patent document with application publication number CN 117550542 A discloses an aircraft engine oil sealing vehicle and an oil sealing method.

[0032] Using the oil sealing method of the present invention, in a specific application process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, since the power supply system provides power support and protection for the entire power system oil seal equipment, this power supply system adopts a three-phase three-wire 380V / 50HZ AC power supply. The switching power supply converts AC380V into DC24V control power supply. The power supply system has functions such as phase loss protection, overload protection and automatic phase change protection. This can ensure the normal operation of the system, enable smooth transmission of electric energy, and normal operation of the electrical system. At the same time, separate grounding protection is adopted in the circuit, and the electrical system is connected to the power connector to achieve shielding grounding and protective grounding of the electrical system to prevent interference caused by circuit operation from affecting the performance of the equipment and damaging the electrical system; the metal shell of the vehicle body is provided with a grounding column, and the grounding column is equipped with a grounding mark. Protective grounding is achieved by connecting an external grounding wire to the grounding pile to avoid circuit aging causing the vehicle body to be electrified and electric shock accidents. As shown Figure 4 As shown, the acquisition system consists of an integrator and temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, and flow sensors, etc. The sensor transmits the relevant collected current signal input to the integrator, and the integrator then transmits the data to the programmable PLC controller to complete the data information acquisition.
[0033] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the control system uses a programmable controller as the brain, which is responsible for electrical system control and calculation functions. The acquisition system includes pressure sensors, temperature sensors and flow sensors, which are responsible for collecting parameters such as temperature and pressure required by the system and communicating the parameters to the control system. The operation panel can display various system information in real time, including control mode and working status.
[0034] The control system is powered by DC24v, with a programmable controller as the central processing unit, controlling the peripheral I / O modules and communicating with the instrument to achieve the following functions of the equipment: Power-on self-test: The device has the function of automatically detecting faults.
[0035] Automatic / Manual: It has two modes: manual mode and automatic mode. Automatic: When the equipment is in automatic mode, it can realize the "one-button oil seal" function. Manual: When the equipment is in manual mode, it can realize the functions of oil tank heating, oil filtration cycle, oil heating and water removal, oil heat dissipation, oil sealing and nitrogen filling and oil removal.
[0036] Data collection function: including temperature, pressure, flow rate data, etc. The data is displayed in digital form, which is clear and easy to read.
[0037] Sound and light alarm function: alarm or fault prompt when the equipment temperature, oil pressure, or solenoid valve is working abnormally.
[0038] Emergency stop function: In any case, the power supply of the equipment will be cut off immediately and the equipment will stop working to prevent damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.
[0039] Since the control system has the function of automatically detecting whether the equipment circuits and components are faulty when powered on, when a fault is detected by self-detection, it can point out the fault point and provide troubleshooting tips.
[0040] The device realizes I / O port and line self-check by collecting I / O signals, and realizes system self-check data collection by judging whether the data format is correct through MODBUS communication with the collection instrument.
[0041] In the specific operation process, since the control system has two control modes, automatic / manual, the mode can be switched through the touch screen or the manual / automatic switch. When the manual / automatic switch is turned to the manual gear or the touch screen is clicked to switch to the manual mode, the equipment switches to the manual mode, and the touch screen working status bar displays the manual mode. In this mode, the switch functions such as the panel and touch screen oil seal switch and heating switch are effective. By enabling the switch, the corresponding actuators such as relays and contactors are driven to realize the equipment oil tank heating, oil filtration cycle, oil heating and water removal, oil heat dissipation, oil sealing, and nitrogen filling and oil removal functions.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the automatic control mode can be adopted to realize the one-key oil seal operation of the equipment.

[0043] Furthermore, using the oil sealing method of the present invention, in the process S1, the specific method of injecting the oil sealing oil into the oil tank 21 is: Press the operating switch on the operating panel and, under the control of the control system, perform refueling in manual or automatic mode; The control system controls the solenoid valve A20 and the solenoid valve B12 to be in an open state; First, connect the oil barrel to the refueling joint, start the oil pump 14 and the ball valve 17, and let the oil in the oil barrel pass through the ball valve 17, the oil inlet hose 18, the filter B16, the oil pump 14, the PA end of the solenoid valve B12 and the filter A9 in sequence, and finally be injected into the oil tank 21 through the oil inlet pipeline and the PA end of the solenoid valve A20 until the injected oil reaches the liquid level requirement, thereby realizing the refueling operation of the oil tank 21.
[0044] Further, using the oil sealing method of the present invention, in the process S1, before the oil sealing oil is heated and dehydrated, if the oil quality of the oil sealing oil in the oil tank 21 does not meet the oil sealing requirements, the oil sealing oil needs to be filtered and cleaned. The specific method of the filtering and cleaning process is: Press the operation switch on the operation panel and, under the control of the control system, perform the filter cleaning operation in manual or automatic mode; The control system controls the solenoid valve A20 and the solenoid valve B12 to be in an open state; First, insert the quick-release connector 1 into the oil return socket 19, start the oil pump 14, the throttle valve 8 and the one-way valve A5, so that the oil in the oil tank 21 passes through the PB end of the solenoid valve A20, the filter B16, the oil pump 14, the PA end of the solenoid valve B12, the filter A9, the throttle valve 8 and the one-way valve A5 in sequence, and finally flows back to the oil tank 21 through the oil filling hose 2. Through continuous circulation filtration, until the oil quality of the oil seal oil meets the oil seal requirements, the filter B16 and the filter A9 in the main line are used to realize the self-circulation filtration and cleaning of the oil seal oil in the oil tank 21; In the specific application process, the oil seal oil adopts lubricating oil that meets the GJB420B-7 level. In order to ensure that the oil contamination of the lubricating oil at the outlet of the quick-release joint 1 is better than the GJB420B-7 level, the lubricating oil needs to be filtered. At the same time, in order to ensure that the equipment better meets various indicators and does not increase redundant repetitive structural design, a return oil socket 19 is specially designed to form a closed-loop structure with the oil tank 21, the oil pump 14, the oil filter device and the oil filling hose 2.

The sampling valve 4 adopts the form of a knob ball valve, which can facilitate personnel operation and rapid sampling, and can also effectively prevent the oil in the oil tank from being contaminated by the outside world.
[0045] In addition, using the oil sealing method of the present invention, in the process S3, before the oil sealing of the engine to be oil-sealed, if the original oil sealing oil in the engine to be oil-sealed does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to discharge the original oil sealing oil in the engine to be oil-sealed to avoid mixing the injected oil sealing oil with the original oil sealing oil, thereby affecting the engine, and nitrogen filling and deoiling are adopted to discharge the oil in the engine to be oil-sealed. The specific method of nitrogen filling and deoiling is: Press the operation switch on the operation panel and, under the control of the control system, perform nitrogen filling and oil removal operation in manual or automatic mode; The control system controls the one-way valve C23, the reversing valve 24 and the pressure reducing valve 25 to be in an open state; First, insert the quick-release connector 1 into the engine to be oil-sealed, then connect the nitrogen source to the outside through the inflation connector 27, and finally start the external nitrogen source, so that the nitrogen in the nitrogen source passes through the air filter device 26, the pressure reducing valve 25, the reversing valve 24 and the one-way valve C23 in the air injection pipeline in turn, and finally is injected into the engine through the quick-release connector 1 in the oil injection hose 2, so as to discharge the oil in the engine to be oil-sealed and realize nitrogen filling and oil removal.

The whole system is highly integrated and designed as a whole, and multiple functions are realized synchronously. The real-time measurement and intelligent control of pressure and temperature are realized through the acquisition system and the control system, and the measured temperature, pressure and flow are displayed. In addition, when recording and collecting the operation process data of the oil sealing device, if an abnormality is found, an alarm prompt can be given in time through the indicator light and the sound and light alarm, which greatly improves the safety. At the same time, it can also be operated in manual or automatic mode. Through the automatic mode, one-button oil sealing operation can be realized, which greatly improves the working efficiency of ground oil sealing of aircraft engines.
