[0028] Example 1

[0029] This invention provides a method and apparatus for testing the frictional force between the housing and piston of a high-temperature aero-pneumatic valve actuator, to simulate and test the frictional force between the housing and piston ring of a high-temperature aero-pneumatic valve under different operating conditions, providing accurate measured data for the frictional force model. The testing apparatus for the frictional force between the housing and piston of a high-temperature aero-pneumatic valve actuator includes: an air bleed valve piston cylinder (1), a tension / compression sensor (2), a linear guide rail (3), a transmission mechanism (4), and an electric push rod (5).

[0030] The aforementioned bleed valve cylinder consists of two sets, symmetrically placed to balance the air pressure on both sides. The two pistons are coaxially aligned for guidance, avoiding measurement errors. Both sets of cylinders are connected to a high-temperature, high-pressure air source.

[0031] The aforementioned air-draft valve piston cylinder includes: a housing, a piston, and a connecting rod.

[0032] The housing and piston are installed according to their service condition. The connecting rod connects two symmetrically placed pistons.

[0033] The piston connecting rod has a boss I in the middle, and the height of boss I is 5mm-10mm.

[0034] The transmission mechanism includes four transmission rods arranged in a "U" shape. The plane of the U-shaped transmission mechanism is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the directions of the left and right transmission rods are parallel to the piston axis. A rectangular through hole, 20mm wide and 30mm long, is located in the middle of the front and rear transmission rods. The front and rear sides of the rectangular through hole are perpendicular to the piston axis.

[0035] The left and right transmission rods are mounted on linear guide rails.

[0036] The front transmission rod passes under the piston connecting rod, and the piston connecting rod boss I is located in the middle of the front transmission rod hole.

[0037] The tension and compression sensors are installed at the connection points between the left and right transmission rods and the front transmission rod, and are used to test the friction force during the movement of the piston rings in the chamber.

[0038] The electric actuator is used to provide push and pull force to drive the piston movement. Its maximum movement range is 20mm, and its speed range is 1mm / s-20mm / s.

[0039] The electric push rod has a boss II on its front side, and the height of boss II is 5mm-10mm.

[0040] The electric push rod boss II is located in the middle of the rear transmission rod hole.

[0041] The combination structure of the boss-rectangular hole is used to transmit the tension and compression force of the electric push rod to drive the piston to move. The boss and the rectangular hole are not connected by a fixed mechanism, but by mutual contact to apply a normal force. This structure can cleverly eliminate the additional bending moment caused by the misalignment of the assembly of the components of the test device.

[0042] The electric push rod drives the piston to reciprocate through the transmission mechanism, and the friction force of the shell-piston ring under different working conditions can be measured. The specific steps include:

[0043] (1) Connect the electric push rod, transmission mechanism, linear guide rail, tension and compression force sensor, and shell-piston in sequence. Among them, the electric push rod, linear guide rail, and shell are fixed on the workpiece table through fixtures. The boss I of the piston connecting rod and the boss II of the electric push rod are placed in the center of the rectangular hole of the front and rear transmission rods of the transmission mechanism.

[0044] (2) The shell-piston, left and right side transmission rods, and electric push rod are coaxial.

[0045] (3) The plane where the transmission mechanism is located is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0046] (4) Connect the shell to the high temperature and high pressure gas source, and adjust the temperature and gas pressure to the values under different working conditions. Let it stand for 10 minutes to ensure that the temperature is uniform in the cylinder.

[0047] (5) Control the electric push rod to reciprocate at a speed of v, and the movement stroke is fixed at 20mm.

[0048] (6) The electric push rod drives the transmission mechanism and the piston in sequence through the normal contact of the combination structure of the boss-rectangular hole.

[0049] (7) The boss I and the boss II have spherical structures on both the front and rear sides.

[0050] (8) When pushing the piston, the boss is in normal contact with the front side of the rectangular hole.

[0051] (9) When pulling the piston, the boss is in normal contact with the rear side of the rectangular hole.

[0052] (10) Record the force data F1 and F2 of the left and right tension and compression force sensors. At this time, the friction force of the shell-piston ring is F=(F1+F2) / 2.

[0053] (11) Modify the temperature and pressure of the gas source and the speed of the push rod to test the relationship between the friction force under different working conditions and the position of the piston in the shell.

[0054] (12) The average friction force of the two shell-pistons measured by the above examples is obtained.

[0055] (13) Further, take three shell-pistons, two two opposite test, can measure each piston in the shell friction.

The parts not described in detail are regarded as conventional technical means in the art. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, based on the design idea of the present application, the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
