[0045] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the frame support structure of this embodiment is applied to an aircraft engine and is used to be arranged between a stator casing and a rotor support. The frame support structure includes:

[0046] The outer mounting edge 100 is used to connect with the stator casing for centering and load transmission;

[0047] The inner mounting edge 700 is used to connect with the rotor support for centering and load transmission;

[0048] The outer wall 400 is connected to the outer mounting edge 100;

[0049] The inner wall 600 is connected to the inner mounting edge 700 and forms an outer flow channel 401 with the outer wall 400. The inner surface of the inner wall 600 forms an inner flow channel 601.

[0050] The support plate structures 500 are respectively connected to the inner wall 600 and the outer wall 400. A plurality of support plate structures 500 are arranged along the circumference of the frame support structure to transfer loads.

[0051] The arc-shaped folding structure 200 is respectively arranged between the outer mounting edge 100 and the outer wall 400 and between the inner mounting edge 700 and the inner wall 600, and is used to bear the load transferred from the support plate structure area in a high temperature state to the stator casing and rotor support in a low temperature state, so as to alleviate the radial thermal deformation limitation of the supporting structure when subjected to high temperature.

[0052] The structural form of the connection between the outer mounting edge 100 and the stator casing and the structural form of the connection between the inner mounting edge 700 and the rotor support are realized by referring to the connection methods in the prior art, such as the use of circumferentially uniformly distributed bolts.

[0053] It can be understood that the frame support structure adopts a traditional double-wall structure design, which is used to be arranged between the stator casing and the rotor support. It is a rotating body structure as a whole like the stator casing and the rotor support. It has an outer wall 400 and an inner wall 600, and a support plate structure 500 is arranged between the two for connection and support and to transfer load based on the support plate structure 500. An outer flow channel 401 is formed between the outer wall 400 and the inner wall 600, and the inner wall 600 is the inner flow channel 601. Based on the aerodynamic performance requirements, the aerodynamic performance requirements can be met by adjusting the shape of the support plate and / or adjusting the size of the flow channel; the outer mounting edge 100 is arranged on the outer wall 400, and the inner mounting edge 700 is arranged on the inner wall 600. The outer mounting edge 100 located on the outermost ring is connected to the stator casing for centering and load transfer, and the inner mounting edge 700 located on the innermost ring is connected to the rotor support to transfer the rotor fulcrum load, respectively. An arc-shaped folding structure 200 is arranged between the outer wall 400 and the inner wall 600, and at the position of the outer wall 100, two ends of the arc-shaped folding structure 200 are respectively connected to the outer wall 400 and the outer wall 400, and at the position of the inner wall 700, two ends of the arc-shaped folding structure 200 are respectively connected to the inner wall 700 and the inner wall 600, so that in the working state, the arc-shaped folding structure 200 mainly bears the load transmitted from the support plate structure 500 area in the high temperature state to the outer stator and the inner support in the low temperature state. The flexible folding structure design based on the arc-shaped folding structure 200 relieves the radial thermal deformation limitation of the supporting structure when it is subjected to high temperature, effectively reduces the large stress generated by the connection ends of the inner and outer peripheries of the frame supporting structure due to high temperature expansion, and reduces the high stress level caused by the large thermal gradient in the working state, thereby improving the low cycle fatigue life of the components.

[0054] Specifically, the arc-shaped folding structure 200 includes an arc-shaped portion 202 and a first connecting portion 201 and a second connecting portion 203 arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the frame support structure. The two ends of the arc-shaped portion 202 are respectively connected to the first end of the first connecting portion 201 and the first end of the second connecting portion 203. The second end of the first connecting portion 201 is used to connect to the outer mounting edge 100, and the second end of the second connecting portion 203 is used to connect to the outer wall 400. Alternatively, the second end of the first connecting portion 201 is used to connect to the inner mounting edge 700, and the second connecting portion 203 is used to connect to the outer wall 400. The second end of 3 is used to connect with the inner wall 600, the arc-shaped folding structure 200 is connected with the outer mounting edge 100 through its first connecting portion 201, and is connected with the outer wall 400 through the second connecting portion 203. At the position of the inner mounting edge 700, the arc-shaped folding structure 200 is connected with the inner mounting edge 700 through its first connecting portion 201, and is connected with the inner wall 600 through the second connecting portion 203, and then in the working state, the arc-shaped portion 202 mainly bears the load transmitted from the support plate structure 500 area in the high temperature state to the outer stator and the inner peripheral support in the low temperature state;

[0055] It should be understood that the shape of the support plate structure 500 and the size design of the inner and outer flow channels 401 can be realized by referring to the existing design methods, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it. Specifically, the shape of the support plate structure 500 and the size of the inner and outer flow channels 401 can be iteratively optimized by finite element analysis so that the final result meets the aerodynamic performance requirements. It should be noted that the arc portion 202 is in a "⊂" shape or a "⊃" shape, that is, its design orientation can be designed according to the actual structural space matching, and it is more flexible; the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203 are preferably designed in a straight cylinder shape, and the cross section of the arc portion 202 is semicircular, and the structure is tightly connected to maximize its stress release effect.

[0056] In some embodiments, the arc-shaped folding structure 200 is provided with a plurality of stress release structures 300, and the circumferential distribution position of the stress release structure 300 matches the circumferential distribution position of the support plate structure 500. By further providing the stress release structure 300 on the arc-shaped folding structure 200, the load transfer can be further reduced, the stress concentration problem can be improved, and the large stress caused by the high-temperature thermal expansion of the support plate can be reduced; based on this, the circumferential distribution position of the stress release structure 300 is set to match the circumferential distribution position of the support plate structure 500, even if the position of the stress release structure 300 matches the stress concentration area caused by the high-temperature thermal expansion of the support plate structure 500, the stress reduction effect is improved; preferably, the stress release structure 300 is a hole-shaped structure, and the stress release structure The circumferential dimension of 300 is designed to be 1.5-2 times the circumferential dimension of the support plate structure 500. If the circumferential dimension of the stress release structure 300 is less than 1.5 times the circumferential dimension of the support plate structure 500, the stress reduction effect is not obvious. If it is greater than 2 times the circumferential dimension of the support plate structure 500, the stress release structure 300 will be flattened, and greater stress will be generated at the side circle position due to stress concentration. It should be noted that the stress release structure 300 is preferably arranged on the arc-shaped folding structure 200 on the periphery to match the large stress area distribution and stress reduction requirements and reduce processing costs. In other embodiments, stress release structures 300 can also be provided on both the inner and outer arc-shaped folding structures 200 to improve stress release and reduction effects.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support plate structure 500 is a hollow structure, and the two ends of the support plate structure 500 are respectively connected to the outer surface of the outer wall 400 and the inner surface of the inner wall 600. It can be understood that the support plate structure 500 is a hollow structure, which is more conducive to lightweight design. On the other hand, it is more convenient to optimize the shape and flow channel size of the support plate structure 500, while maintaining a low mass change to optimize aerodynamic performance and reduce aerodynamic losses; further, the frame support structure includes an oil pipeline, which is connected to the lubricating oil pipeline of the engine and is used to pass through the support plate structure 500 to the fulcrum of the rotor support to guide The lubricating oil is introduced into the fulcrum of the rotor support, that is, the support plate structure 500 is designed to be a hollow structure, and the lubricating oil can be introduced into the rotor fulcrum at the periphery through the lubricating oil pipeline to provide lubrication; wherein, the support plate structure 500 is preferably evenly distributed along the circumference of the frame support structure to avoid unnecessary excitation sources, but when the oil supply and / or oil return position has special structural requirements, the support plate structure 500 can also be arranged with a non-uniform distribution. Regardless of whether the support plate structure 500 is a uniformly distributed or non-uniformly distributed structure, the number and circumferential distribution position of the stress release structure 300 are matched with the support plate structure 500 to ensure the stress reduction effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, the design method of the arc folding structure includes: S1. Calculating the load transmitted to the rotor support and / or to the stator casing by the radial thermal expansion of the support plate structure, the calculation formula is:

[0059] (1)

[0060] Where k is the stiffness of the arc-shaped part, and x is the radial displacement of the high-temperature support plate;

[0061] S2. The structural stiffness of the arc portion, the structural stiffness of the first connection portion, and the structural stiffness of the second connection portion are calculated using equations (2) to (4). The design formulas include:

[0062] (2)

[0063] (3)

[0064] (4)

[0065] In the formula, is the stiffness of the first connection, is the stiffness of the second connection, is the elastic modulus, and are the outer diameters of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, respectively, and are the inner diameter of the first connecting part and the inner diameter of the second connecting part, respectively, and are the length of the first connecting portion and the length of the second connecting portion respectively.

[0066] The above formula is used as the design basis and reference to realize the design of the frame supporting structure, and based on the above formula, it can be known that the stiffness of the arc-shaped folding structure can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the first connecting part and / or the length of the second connecting part and / or the outer diameter of the first connecting part and / or the outer diameter of the second connecting part and / or the inner diameter of the first connecting part and / or the inner diameter of the second connecting part, which has stronger applicability in the design process and highly matches the structural design requirements.

[0067] In some embodiments, the arc-shaped folding structure is provided with a plurality of hole-shaped stress release structures, and the design method further comprises step S3: designing the stiffness of the stress release structure region, and the design formula is:

[0068] (5)

[0069] In the formula, is the stiffness of the stress relief structure, and are the outer radius and inner radius of the arc part respectively, is the number of stress relief structures, The major axis width is constructed for stress relief, Construct the minor axis length for stress relief.

[0070] According to the above calculation formula and the relevant principles of material mechanics, the stiffness of the arc part And the stiffness of the stress relief hole area Less than the stiffness of a single-layer cylinder and Therefore, combined with formula (1), it can be seen that the use of folded structure and stress relief holes can reduce the load transmitted to the inner and outer mounting surfaces, thereby reducing stress and improving low-cycle fatigue life.

[0071] Further, the design method also includes: setting spatial structure size constraints and process constraints, and using finite element analysis to iteratively optimize the length of the first connection part and / or the length of the second connection part and / or the length of the third connection part and / or the outer diameter of the first connection part and / or the outer diameter of the second connection part and / or the outer arc radius of the third connection part and / or the inner diameter of the first connection part and / or the inner diameter of the second connection part and / or the inner arc radius of the third connection part and / or the number of stress release structures and / or the major axis width of the stress release structure and / or the minor axis length of the stress release structure; that is, adjusting the thickness, length and other dimensions of the arc folding structure can meet the high-temperature support plate expansion and deformation requirements, and optimizing the shape of the stress release hole to further reduce stress and improve low-cycle fatigue life. Through modeling, finite element analysis and iterative optimization, the corresponding design parameters can be quickly obtained based on computer software matching design requirements to improve efficiency. Further, the above design method is to iteratively optimize the length of the first and second connection parts of the arc folding structure, the thickness of the arc folding structure and the shape of the stress release structure using finite element analysis.
