Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft structure or other mechanical technology, and in particular to a composite connecting rod which can maintain certain functionality and safety in the event of partial damage. Background Art
[0002] The application of connecting rods in various mechanical products can be divided into two aspects: one is motion transmission, which is mainly used in system control and motion mechanisms; the other is load transmission, which is mainly used in the main load-bearing parts of the structure and is mainly composed of high-strength metal materials.
[0003] The load-bearing connecting rods currently used in the aviation industry are mainly divided into two categories: the first category is the connecting rods made entirely of metal machining; the second category is the connecting rods composed of composite materials and metal.
[0004] The first type of connecting rods are all made of metal, so they have the disadvantage of being heavy. Therefore, a connecting rod is needed, which can reduce the weight as much as possible while meeting the strength requirements to reduce the total weight of the aircraft.
[0005] The second type of connecting rod mentioned above mainly includes two designs:
[0006] The first type consists of a composite rod and a metal joint to save weight. However, this type of connecting rod usually connects the composite rod and the metal joint together through fasteners, and the fastener connection will pierce the composite rod, which will damage the composite fiber and affect the stress distribution of the composite rod when bearing load, and cannot truly give full play to the high performance advantages of composite materials. There may also be disadvantages such as inconvenient detection, uneven connection quality and low shear resistance. In addition, for this type of connecting rod, if it is used near the aircraft engine, there is also the disadvantage that the fasteners are prone to fatigue damage.
[0007] The second type is composed of a metal rod and a composite material coated on the outside of the metal rod. The design of this connecting rod allows the metal rod to continue to bear the force when the composite material is damaged; conversely, if the metal rod is damaged, the composite material can continue to bear the force, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the entire system. However, the inventors found that the design of this connecting rod has shortcomings, specifically, coating the composite material on the outside of the metal rod cannot fully exert the bearing performance of the composite connecting rod when bearing compressive loads.

[0080] Figure 5 A composite connecting rod 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0081] The composite connecting rod 1 comprises a metal rod 100 and a composite material. The composite connecting rod 1 is formed with an inner cavity 104. The composite material comprises a compression-resistant composite material 200' arranged in the inner cavity 104 and an axial composite material 300 wound around the metal rod 100 in the axial direction.
[0082] According to the above technical solution, the composite connecting rod of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial technical effects: no fasteners are used to connect the metal rod and the composite material of the connecting rod, so that the high performance advantage of the composite material is fully utilized.
[0083] Specifically, the composite connecting rod 1 includes a load-bearing rod 106, and the load-bearing rod 106 is in the inner cavity 104. The compression composite material 200' is arranged in the inner cavity 104 of the composite connecting rod 1 and coated on the load-bearing rod 106, and the axial composite material is axially wound around the metal rod 100, so no fasteners are used to connect the metal rod 100 and the composite material (compression composite material 200' and axial composite material 300) of the connecting rod, giving full play to the high performance advantages of the composite material.
[0084] More specifically, expansion parts 107 are provided at both ends of the load-bearing rod 106 , and the expansion parts 107 are located outside the inner cavity 104 . The axial composite material 300 is wound around the expansion parts 107 at both ends, and the axial composite material 300 and the expansion parts 107 at both ends form the inner cavity 104 .
[0085] Preferably, the load-bearing rod 106 and the enlarged portion 107 are integrally formed, and the load-bearing rod 106 and the enlarged portion 107 constitute the metal rod 100. In other words, the metal rod 100 preferably includes the load-bearing rod 106 and the enlarged portions 107 at both ends.
[0086] Optionally, the load-bearing rod 106 is formed of a composite material, and the load-bearing rod 106 is seated between the two enlarged portions 107. For example, the composite material is a carbon fiber material. In such an optional embodiment, the metal rod 100 of the composite connecting rod 1 includes an enlarged portion 107 made of metal and a load-bearing rod 106 formed of a composite material and seated between the two enlarged portions 107.
[0087] Preferably, the extension direction of the load-bearing rod 106 coincides with the axial direction of the composite connecting rod 1 .
[0088] In another embodiment of the present invention, the compression-resistant composite material 200 ′ is coated on the load-bearing rod 106 .
[0089] According to the above technical solution, the composite connecting rod of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: the compression-resistant composite material is combined with the load-bearing rod to enhance the compression resistance of the composite connecting rod, and the compression-resistant composite material plays the role of filling the composite connecting rod and supporting the axial composite material.
[0090] In another embodiment of the present invention, the compression-resistant composite material 200 ′ is spirally wound around the load-bearing rod 106 .
[0091] According to the above technical solution, the composite connecting rod of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: the compression-resistant composite material is combined with the load-bearing rod to enhance the compression resistance of the composite connecting rod, and the compression-resistant composite material plays the role of filling the composite connecting rod and supporting the axial composite material.
[0092] In another embodiment of the present invention, lugs are configured at both ends of the composite connecting rod 1 for connecting other components. Figure 1-3 In the embodiment shown, the portion of each sub-rod 101 of the metal rod 100 protruding outward from the corresponding connecting portion 102 forms an ear piece 103, and a through hole is provided on the ear piece 103 for connecting with other components, that is, the ear piece 103 plays the role of a lug for connecting with other components. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the enlarged portion 107 is configured as a lug for connecting with other components, and a through hole is provided on the enlarged portion 107 for connecting with other components.
[0093] The manufacturing and assembly sequence of the composite connecting rod 1 of the present invention may be as follows:
[0094] First, the metal rod 100 and the compression composite materials 200, 200' are assembled together. Specifically, the compression composite material 200 is embedded in the inner cavity 104 of the composite connecting rod 1 or the compression composite material 200' is coated on the load-bearing rod 106; then, the axial composite material 300 is axially wound around the metal rod 100 and wound around the outside of the compression composite materials 200, 200' (that is, the axial composite material 300 is axially wound around the combination of the metal rod 100 and the compression composite material 200).
[0095] The composite connecting rod 1 of the present invention has a damage safety design: when the composite material is damaged, the metal rod 100 can still bear the load; when the metal rod 100 is damaged, the composite material can still bear the load.
[0096] Specifically, in Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of the present invention shown, when a single ear piece 103 is damaged or fails, the load is carried by another ear piece 103. When the connection portion 102 is damaged or fails, there are two cases: longitudinal cracks and transverse cracks. The transverse crack is equivalent to the metal rod 100 being broken at the connection portion 102, and the composite material (axial composite material 300 and compressive composite material 200) can still bear the load. The longitudinal crack is equivalent to the metal rod 100 (two sub-rods 101 at the connection portion 102) being separated, but each part of the separated metal rod 100 (i.e., sub-rod 101) can still bear the load. When the axial composite material 300 or the compressive composite material 200 is damaged or fails, the load is carried by the metal rod 100.
[0097] In such Figure 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, when the load-bearing rod 106 is damaged or fails, the composite material (axial composite material 300 and compressive composite material 200') can still bear the load. When the axial composite material 300 or the compressive composite material 200' is damaged or fails, the load-bearing rod 106 bears the load.
[0098] Through simulation analysis, for the composite connecting rod according to each embodiment of the present invention, the number of layers of tensile fibers (i.e., axial composite materials) and compressive fibers (i.e., compressive composite materials) is set to 20 in ABAQUS; in order to make the simulation results general, the fiber directions are arranged alternately and repeatedly 5 times at 0° / 45° / 90° / -45°; the fiber layer adopts solid units, and a cohesive layer with a thickness of 0.025 mm is inserted between the fiber layers; for the fiber layer, a 3D Hashin damage criterion is used, and it can be found that: under the action of compressive load, the maximum stress position of the composite connecting rod is always on the compressive fiber, and under the same other conditions, the maximum compressive load that the composite connecting rod according to the present invention can withstand is greater than that of the connecting rod in the prior art; under the action of tensile load, the maximum stress position of the composite connecting rod is always on the tensile fiber, and under the same other conditions, the maximum tensile load that the composite connecting rod according to the present invention can withstand is greater than that of the connecting rod in the prior art.
[0099] The optimal geometric characteristics and material properties of the compression composite can also be considered. The flexural strength (i.e., compressive capacity) is usually determined by the flexural stiffness and the maximum flexural stress. If the material mass is constant, that is, it corresponds to a compression fiber hollow cylinder with a constant cross-sectional area, its diameter will affect its flexural strength. For the maximum flexural stress, there is:
[0100]
[0101] Among them, σ max is the maximum bending stress, M is the bending moment, c is the distance from the neutral axis, and I is the moment of inertia of the area.
[0102] For a constant cross section A0, assuming that the ratio of inner diameter to outer diameter is k = D / d, we can obtain:
[0103]
[0104] It can be seen that the magnitude of the moment of inertia I is related to the inner-outer diameter ratio k. Therefore, by selecting a compression-resistant fiber with a suitable inner-outer diameter ratio k, a compression-resistant composite material with an appropriate maximum bending stress can be obtained.

In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "includes..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, structure or device that includes the elements.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
