TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of open fan engine, in particular to an open fan engine with a variable pitch system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Propfan engine, also known as open rotor engine or unducted fan engine, is a kind of gas turbine engine which drives the propfan structure by the output shaft power of the power turbine. The open fan engine usually has two rows of propfan, the front stage is rotor and the rear stage is stator or rotor.
[0003] The propfan engine of the above type needs a system to adjust the angle of the propfan blades, also known as variable pitch system, to ensure that the power of the engine can always adapt to its working conditions.
[0004] The angle adjustment of the general stator propfan is relatively simple, which can be fixed on the engine case by the actuating mechanism. It drives the connecting rod mechanism through angular contact ball bearing (thrust bearing) and sliding pair, and changes the pitch angle of the stator propfan by four-bar linkage transmission.
[0005] The angle adjustment of the rotor propfan is relatively complex, which needs to force the rotor propfan to rotate around the engine low pressure shaft while rotating around its propfan shaft, so as to realize the adjustment of the pitch angle. The variable pitch system is the core structure of the open fan engine.
[0006] In the prior art, a variable pitch system has been proposed. The adjustment of the conventional open fan engine rotor propfan is basically through the thrust bearing and sliding pair (or straight gear transmission) to drive the connecting rod mechanism, and the pitch angle of the stator propfan is changed by four-bar linkage transmission. This adjusting mechanism needs to design a circle (the number is equal to the number of a circle of propfan) of connecting rod mechanism, which results in a very heavy structure. At the same time, in order to control the angle locking of the blades, the actuating mechanism needs a large thrust and tension. Moreover, the structure is expensive and not convenient to maintain.

[0047] Further, the present application is to be understood not only in the sense of the
[0048] As shown in Figure 1 the present embodiment is a tractor open fan engine 10, which is a double-row rotor propeller fan design 11, including an aircraft fuselage 12 and an engine inlet 13.
[0049] As shown in Figure 2 the present application discloses an open fan engine with a variable pitch system, which comprises a rotary hydraulic actuator mechanism 100, an engine low-pressure shaft 200, a central bevel gear 300 and a plurality of blades 400. The flywheel shaft 110 of the rotary hydraulic actuator mechanism 100 is connected with the engine low-pressure shaft 200, and the central bevel gear 300 is installed outside the engine low-pressure shaft 200.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3 the central bevel gear 300 is preferably a cylindrical structure, one end of which is provided with an inner inclined bevel gear 310, and the inclined bevel gears 410 are arranged in a circle and matched with the inner inclined bevel gear 310 respectively. The central bevel gear 300 is in contact with the inclined bevel gears 410 at the blade handles of the blades 400, so as to realize the angle adjustment of the blades 400.
[0051] In combination Figure 2 , the open fan engine further comprises a flange drum 500, the outer shell of the rotary hydraulic actuator mechanism 100 is fixedly connected with one end of the flange drum 500, and the other end of the central bevel gear 300 is fixedly connected with the other end of the flange drum 500.
[0052] For example, the left and right end housings of the rotary hydraulic actuating mechanism 100 and the flange drum 500 are fixedly connected through a bolt hole 520 (1 string 3). The flange drum 500 is connected with the central bevel gear 300 through a ring of screws. Further, other connection modes can also be used as required.
[0053] Further, in order to strengthen the stability of transmission, a ball bearing 510 can also be arranged between the flange drum 500 and the engine low-pressure shaft 200 for supporting the flange drum 500. The ball bearing 510 is used as a fulcrum, and the ball bearing 510 has fixing devices on the left and right sides.
[0054] Further, the open fan engine also comprises a mounting disc 600, one end of the mounting disc 600 is connected with the engine low-pressure shaft 200, and the other end is connected with the blade handle 420 of each paddle 400.
[0055] The mounting disc 600 of the paddle 400 is connected with the engine low-pressure shaft 200 through a spline, and an angle sensor 430 is installed at the blade handle 420 of the paddle 400. The spline is axially fixed with the shoulder of the engine low-pressure shaft 200 through a nut. The engine cover 800 is fixed with the mounting disc 600 through a casing 810. The whole structure is arranged in the engine inner cavity 900. The paddle bone 440 is fixedly connected with the engine cover 800.
[0056] As shown in Figures 4 to 7 , the rotary hydraulic actuating mechanism 100 comprises a first housing 110, a flywheel shaft 120, a flywheel 130 and a second housing 140. The flywheel 130 is installed on the flywheel shaft 120, and the flywheel shaft 120 and the flywheel 130 are installed in the cavity formed by the clamping connection of the first housing 110 and the second housing 140 through a bearing 150. Sealing rings 160 are arranged between the first housing 110 and the second housing 140, between the flywheel shaft 120 and the first housing 110, and between the flywheel shaft 120 and the second housing 140, so as to realize sealed connection.
[0057] As shown in Figures 9 to 11 , the flywheel 130 comprises a plurality of spaced flywheel blades 131 and a cylindrical body 132, and the flywheel blades 131 are installed on the outer wall surface of the cylindrical body 132 at intervals. At least one first through hole 133 and at least one second through hole 134 are arranged on the cylindrical body 132 between every two adjacent flywheel blades 131, and the first through hole 133 is close to the corresponding flywheel blade 131 on one side, and the second through hole 134 is close to the corresponding flywheel blade 131 on the other side.
[0058] Meanwhile, the flywheel shaft 120 is provided with an oil inlet 121 and an oil outlet 122, so that the first through hole 133 is communicated with the oil inlet 121, and the second through hole 134 is communicated with the oil outlet 122. Alternatively, the second through hole 134 can be communicated with the oil inlet 121, and the first through hole 133 is communicated with the oil outlet 122.
[0059] In combination Figure 8 As shown, the inner wall surface of the first shell 110 is provided with a plurality of mutually spaced vanes 111, and the junction of the vane 111 and the inner wall surface of the first shell 110 is provided with a boss 112 which protrudes outward along the two sides of the vane 111. Each flywheel vane 131 is located between two adjacent vanes 111. Due to the design of the boss 112 on the vane 111 of the first shell 110, the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 has a maximum adjustable range limit, which ensures the safety of the adjusting mechanism.
[0060] When the flywheel shaft 120 rotates in the first shell 110, the boss 112 is in contact with the adjacent flywheel vane 131, the first through hole 133 or the second through hole 134 is located between the corresponding flywheel vane 131 and the vane 111, and remains unobstructed.
[0061] In combination Figure 2 As shown, the open fan engine also includes a hydraulic control system 700, and the hydraulic control system 700 is connected with the oil inlet 121 and the oil outlet 122.
[0062] According to the above structural description, in the open fan engine with a variable pitch system, the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 adopts a modular form, and in order to facilitate the description, the adjusting mechanism of the first stage rotor blade is described in detail. The left end of the flywheel shaft 120 of the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 is connected with the rotary hydraulic joint 160. The left end of the rotary hydraulic joint 160 is a stationary part, and the oil inlet 121 and the oil outlet 122 of the rotary hydraulic joint 160 are connected with the hydraulic control system 700. Further, the hydraulic control system 700 can share the same set with the control system of the engine itself. The flywheel shaft 120 of the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 is connected with the low-pressure shaft 200 of the engine, and the connection mode (not marked in the figure) can be the common shaft and shaft connection mode.
[0063] The variable pitch adjusting principle of the open fan engine with a variable pitch system is as follows:
[0064] The engine low pressure shaft 200 drives the installation disc 600 through the spline, and the installation disc 600 drives the paddle 400 to rotate around the engine low pressure shaft 200. The right end 123 of the flywheel shaft 120 of the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 is fixedly connected with the engine low pressure shaft 200, and the shell of the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 is fixedly connected with the central bevel gear 300 through the flange drum 500.
[0065] When the angle of the paddle 400 does not need to be adjusted, the first shell 110 of the rotary hydraulic actuator 100 is hydraulically matched with the flywheel shaft 120, so as to realize the mutual angle locking between the first shell 110 and the flywheel shaft 120, thereby realizing the mutual rotation angle locking between the central bevel gear 300 and the engine low pressure shaft 200, that is, the mutual locking between the paddle 400 and the engine low pressure shaft 200. In this way, the locking of the angle of the paddle 400 is completed.
[0066] When the paddle 400 needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic control system 700 is started to drive the hydraulic pressure on both sides of the chamber 113, so as to push the flywheel blade 131 on the flywheel shaft 120 and the blade 111 of the first shell 110 to rotate with each other. Through the above transmission relationship, that is, the mutual rotation between the central bevel gear 300 and the engine low pressure shaft 200, the self-rotation of the paddle 400 is realized.
[0067] When the angle sensor 430 at the blade handle recognizes that the angle adjustment is in place, the feedback is given to the hydraulic control system 700, the hydraulic control system 700 locks the hydraulic pressure at this time, so that the whole variable pitch system is locked, and the self-rotation adjustment of the paddle 400 is completed.
[0068] The open fan engine with the variable pitch system has a rotatable hydraulic actuator. When the paddle does not need to be adjusted, the hydraulic actuator and the transmission mechanism can rotate together with the paddle around the engine low pressure shaft, and no relative rotation angle is generated. When the paddle needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic actuator can push the central bevel gear, and then the central bevel gear pushes the small bevel gear at the blade handle, so as to realize the self-rotation angle adjustment of the blade in the rotating state.
[0069] The open fan engine with the variable pitch system has the following characteristics:
[0070] I. The traditional connecting rod mechanism is abandoned, and a cylindrical central bevel gear 300 is used to drive the self-rotation of the blade handle, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0071] Further, the present application suggests that the tooth structure of the central bevel gear is an inner bevel gear, and the small bevel gear at the blade handle is an upside-down bevel gear with a large lower part. This design is due to the fact that the blade will generate a very large centrifugal load when rotating around the low-pressure shaft of the engine, and the small bevel gear at the blade handle will have a tendency to displace radially outward. The use of the inner bevel gear and the inverted bevel gear at the blade handle of the present application can effectively prevent the central bevel gear and the small bevel gear at the blade handle from disengaging, leading to unstable contact. In addition, such a design can effectively enhance the rigidity of the central bevel gear transmission mechanism.
[0072] Secondly, the present application proposes a new type of rotary hydraulic actuator 100, which has been modularized and can be easily installed in various open fan engine variable pitch adjustment systems. A suitable flange drum can be designed according to the needs to connect the rotary hydraulic actuator housing with the central bevel gear described above, and the flywheel shaft of the rotary hydraulic actuator is fixedly connected with the low-pressure shaft 3 of the engine.
[0073] The first housing has a blade structure, which forms many cavities with the flywheel blades on the flywheel shaft. The flywheel shaft has oil holes, so that each cavity has an oil hole. When actuation is needed, hydraulic oil enters the cavities through the oil holes, and through the hydraulic cooperation of the cavities on both sides, the blades are pushed to rotate relative to each other. In this way, the first housing and the flywheel shaft can rotate relative to each other, i.e., the low-pressure shaft of the engine and the central bevel gear can rotate relative to each other. Finally, the central bevel gear pushes the inverted bevel gear at the blade handle, so that the blades can achieve self-rotation adjustment.
[0074] Thirdly, the flywheel shaft of the rotary hydraulic actuator has an oil passage design, which leads hydraulic oil out through one end through a rotary hydraulic joint. One end of the rotary hydraulic joint is a rotor connected with the oil hole of the flywheel shaft. The other end of the rotary hydraulic joint is a stator connected with the hydraulic control system. The hydraulic system has an electromagnetic reversing valve, which can drive the hydraulic pressure in both directions to push the flywheel blades and the blades in the rotary hydraulic actuator to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, thereby achieving clockwise and counterclockwise rotation angle adjustment of the blades. The hydraulic system also has a pressure relief valve to prevent excessive hydraulic pressure from damaging the actuator.
[0075] Fourthly, the blade handle is equipped with an angle sensor, and the control system adjusts the angle of the blade in real time according to the feedback information of multiple sensors (e.g., 8 sensors) when the rotary hydraulic actuator is adjusting.
[0076] Fifthly, the rotary hydraulic actuator also has a limiting function. Generally, the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the blades has a certain adjustable range, and the span of the flywheel blades on the flywheel shaft can be designed according to this range. In this way, the blades of the first housing can only rotate within the span angle of the flywheel blades, thereby playing a limiting protection role to prevent excessive adjustment of the blades.
[0077] Six, the rotating hydraulic actuating mechanism also has the function of locking the angle of the paddle. After the angle of the paddle is adjusted, it is usually necessary to lock the angle so that it can work normally. In the present application, the rotating hydraulic actuating mechanism can lock the angle between the flywheel blade and the blade of the rotating hydraulic actuating mechanism at any angle through the cooperation of the hydraulic pressure on both sides of the chamber (the cavity between the flywheel blade and the blade) and the closing of the hydraulic oil way valve.
[0078] Thus, the angle of the paddle can be locked. In this way, the present application can reduce the disadvantage of additional weight caused by the traditional paddle locking structure.
