Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to a centrifugal impeller and an engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key component in an aero-engine, the centrifugal impeller can work on the airflow in a closed and contracted passage through the blades to convert mechanical energy into pressure potential energy, thereby realizing the compression of the gas. In a high-pressure and high-temperature environment such as an aero-engine, the performance and stability of the centrifugal impeller directly determine the performance and reliability of the entire engine.

[0003] At present, an open centrifugal impeller is generally used in an aero-engine, which forms a closed and contracted passage through the rotating centrifugal impeller and the stationary impeller cover to realize the compression of the gas. In order to prevent the centrifugal impeller from colliding with the impeller cover, a certain tip clearance is required. For a centrifugal impeller with high tangential velocity, the deformation of the blade tip is large under the high-speed working state, and a larger tip clearance is required to ensure safety, which will cause the airflow loss in the passage to increase, thereby affecting the performance of the compressor. The closed impeller can avoid the performance decline of the compressor caused by the excessive tip clearance, but under the same aerodynamic load condition, the disc core stress of the closed impeller is more severe than that of the open centrifugal impeller, so the closed impeller is not suitable for high tangential speed working state. The prior art proposes a closed centrifugal impeller scheme enhanced by high-strength lightweight composite materials, aiming to reduce the disc stress and improve the allowable strength of the wheel disc, so as to break through the limitation of the tangential speed of the closed centrifugal impeller. At the same time, a compressor structure using sealing cover bleed air is proposed to optimize the gas flow and heat dissipation inside the engine.

[0004] However, the existing bleed air structure is usually arranged at the casing outside the sealing cover, which is not conducive to bleeding air from multiple places of the centrifugal impeller, and increases the weight and complexity of the engine. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a centrifugal impeller and an engine to solve the problems of complex structure and large weight caused by the additional bleed air structure.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a centrifugal impeller, comprising a wheel body and a sealing cover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings. Figs. 1 to 3 , describes the embodiments of the present application.

[0034] According to the embodiments of the present application, in one aspect, a centrifugal impeller is provided, comprising a wheel body 1 and a sealing cover 2. The wheel body 1 is rotatable along its axial direction, and a channel is arranged in the wheel body 1, which is suitable for passing fluid. The sealing cover 2 is arranged on the outside of the wheel body 1, fixedly connected with other casings on the engine, and coaxially arranged with the wheel body 1, so that the wheel body 1 can rotate relative to the sealing cover 2, and a gas collection cavity 3 is formed between the sealing cover 2 and the wheel body 1. The gas collection cavity 3 is provided with an air inlet 4 and an air outlet 5, the air inlet 4 is communicated with the channel, and the air outlet 5 is suitable for communicating with external equipment.

[0035] It can be understood that the fluid can be gas or liquid, so that the centrifugal impeller can be suitable for different environmental conditions.

[0036] It should be noted that the wheel body 1 can rotate relative to the sealing cover 2, so that the airflow can flow into the channel from the inlet axially and flow out radially from the outlet, and the rotating wheel body 1 does work on the fluid in the channel to increase the pressure. The cooperation between the sealing cover 2 and the wheel body 1 can build the gas collection cavity 3, and the air outlet 5 arranged on the sealing cover 2 and the air inlet 4 arranged on the wheel body 1 can realize the circulation of airflow, that is, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas at the centrifugal impeller can be led out for engine inlet anti-icing, sealing air leading, turbine cooling, aircraft air leading, etc. The existing air leading structure of the compressor is usually arranged at the casing outside the sealing cover 2, which is not conducive to leading air from multiple places of the centrifugal impeller, and also leads to complex structure of the outer casing and increases the weight of the engine.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the airflow in the channel can be introduced into the gas collection cavity 3 through the air inlet 4 during the flow process, the gas collection cavity 3 collects the collected gas, and the gas is discharged to other equipment with air leading demand through the air outlet 5, which saves the additional air leading structure, solves the problem of complex structure caused by the additional air leading structure, and reduces the overall weight.

[0038] In one embodiment, the gas collecting cavity 3 is provided with a sealing assembly 6 at each end along the axial direction of the wheel body 1, and the sealing assembly 6 comprises a first sealing ring 6001 and a second sealing ring 6002. The first sealing ring 6001 is provided with a plurality of first sealing rings 6001 which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the wheel body 1 and arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the wheel body 1. The second sealing ring 6002 is provided with a plurality of second sealing rings 6002 which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the wheel body 1 and arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the sealing outer cover 2. The plurality of first sealing rings 6001 and the plurality of second sealing rings 6002 are correspondingly arranged.

[0039] It should be noted that the first sealing ring 6001 and the second sealing ring 6002 can be provided as stepped sealing bars, and the two groups of sealing outer covers 2 on the wheel body 1 and the sealing outer cover 2 are used in cooperation.

[0040] It can be understood that a dynamic sealing structure can be formed between the plurality of first sealing rings 6001 and the plurality of second sealing rings 6002.

[0041] Alternatively, the second sealing ring 6002 is a sealing ring and the first sealing ring 6001 is a sealing bar. The first sealing ring 6001 and the second sealing ring 6002 can not be completely corresponding in the axial direction, but there is a certain dislocation, that is, they are arranged in interlacing. This arrangement can increase the complexity of the seal and the labyrinth effect, thereby reducing the leakage amount and providing better sealing performance, especially in high-pressure, high-temperature or high-speed rotating environments.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sealing assembly 6 not only seals the gas collecting cavity 3, but also cooperates with the sealing outer cover 2 to prevent the gas flow from the outlet of the wheel body 1 from backflowing to the inlet, thereby ensuring the work efficiency of the centrifugal impeller. The first sealing ring 6001 and the second sealing ring 6002 are provided with a plurality of first sealing rings 6001 and a plurality of second sealing rings 6002, and the plurality of first sealing rings 6001 and the plurality of second sealing rings 6002 are correspondingly arranged, thereby achieving multiple sealing of the gas collecting cavity 3.

[0043] In one embodiment, the gas collecting cavity 3 is provided in a ring structure, and the gas collecting cavity 3 is provided with a plurality of gas collecting cavities 3 which are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the wheel body 1.

[0044] It can be understood that the plurality of gas collecting cavities 3 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the wheel body 1. Therefore, the sealing bleed air, ice prevention bleed air, turbine cooling bleed air, aircraft bleed air and other bleed air requirements of the engine can be obtained from different gas collecting cavities 3 according to the requirements of pressure, temperature, flow rate and the like.

[0045] Alternatively, the gas collecting cavity 3 can be provided in a ring structure, which can ensure the dynamic sealing between the first sealing ring 6001 and the second sealing ring 6002 and can collect the gas flow in each channel.

[0046] In the embodiment, the gas collecting cavity 3 is arranged in a ring structure and is sleeved outside the wheel body 1. In this way, the gas flow in all the channels in the wheel body 1 can be introduced into the gas collecting cavity 3 along the circumferential direction of the wheel body 1, so that the gas flow is fully collected. Meanwhile, the plurality of gas collecting cavities 3 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the wheel body 1. According to the characteristics that the gas flow in the channel gradually increases in the flow direction in terms of pressure and temperature, the gas inlet 4 of the different gas collecting cavities 3 can be adjusted in the position in the flow direction to adjust the gas inlet pressure and temperature.

[0047] In an embodiment, the wheel body 1 includes a reinforcing ring 102, an outer ring 101 and an inner ring 103. The outer ring 101 is sleeved outside the inner ring 103, and the outer ring 101 is connected with the inner ring 103. The inner ring 103 is provided with an annular groove on the side connected with the outer ring 101, and the reinforcing ring 102 is arranged in the annular groove and abuts against the side wall of the outer ring 101. The channel is arranged in the outer ring 101, and the sealing cover 2 is sleeved outside the outer ring 101. The outer circumferential surface of the outer ring 101 is protruded to form a first sealing ring 6001 towards the sealing cover 2.

[0048] It should be noted that, compared with the traditional closed centrifugal impeller, the high tangential speed closed centrifugal impeller has higher centrifugal load, temperature load and pressure load. The traditional integral casting forming scheme cannot meet the strength design requirements and the high performance requirements for forming precision. Therefore, in the embodiment, the local reinforcement of the forged composite material and the integral machining method are adopted.

[0049] In the embodiment, the outer ring 101 and the inner ring 103 are respectively forged and formed, and the reinforcing ring 102 is arranged between the outer ring 101 and the inner ring 103. In this way, the overall use strength can be improved. The arrangement of the reinforcing ring 102 can reduce the disc stress and improve the allowable strength of the wheel disc 1011, so that the tangential speed of the closed centrifugal impeller can break through the limit and the power-to-weight ratio of the engine can be significantly improved.

[0050] In an embodiment, the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the outer ring 101 gradually decreases along the first direction X, and the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the inner ring 103 and the reinforcing ring 102 gradually increases along the first direction X. The first direction X is parallel to the axial direction of the wheel body 1.

[0051] Alternatively, the cross section of the outer ring 101, the inner ring 103 and the reinforcing ring 102 can be arranged in a trapezoidal structure, and the height of the inner ring 103 and the reinforcing ring 102 gradually increases along the first direction X.

[0052] In the embodiment, according to the feature that the diameter of the centrifugal impeller gradually increases along the direction from the inlet to the outlet, the outer ring 101, the inner ring 103 and the reinforcing ring 102 are all designed as a trapezoidal structure, and the electron beam weld is arranged on the abutting end surface of the first initial forging blank 7 and the second initial forging blank 8, so as to reduce the welding difficulty. The structure and position of the reinforcing ring 102 are determined according to the result of the topology optimization analysis of the closed centrifugal impeller.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outer ring 101 comprises a disc 1011, blades 1012 and a cover 1013. The blades 1012 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of blades 1012 are distributed on the disc 1011 along the circumferential direction of the disc 1011. The cover 1013 is sleeved outside the plurality of blades 1012 and connected with the plurality of blades 1012, and two adjacent blades 1012 and the disc 1011 and the cover 1013 form a channel. The sealing cover 2 is sleeved outside the cover 1013, and the outer peripheral surface of the cover 1013 is protruded to form a first sealing ring 6001 towards the sealing cover 2.

[0054] It should be noted that the blank for processing the wheel body 1 comprises the first initial forging blank 7 and the second initial forging blank 8. The first initial forging blank 7 comprises the disc 1011, the blades 1012 and the cover 1013 for forming the outer ring 101, and the second initial forging blank 8 comprises the inner ring 103. The mounting groove of the reinforcing ring 102 is processed in the corresponding large stress area of the inner ring 103. The reinforcing ring 102 is embedded in the mounting groove, and then the outer ring 101 and the inner ring 103 are combined. The outer ring 101 and the inner ring 103 are fixed by electron beam welding and sealed at the interface. Finally, after consolidation by hot isostatic pressing, the first initial forging blank 7 and the second initial forging blank 8 containing the reinforcing ring 102 form a composite processing blank of the closed centrifugal impeller. Due to the narrow and twisted channel formed by the two adjacent blades 1012 and the disc 1011 and the cover 1013 along the flow direction, it is generally difficult to process by traditional mechanical processing, but it can be precisely processed by new processing forms such as electro-processing, which can meet the use requirements.

[0055] In the embodiment, the two adjacent blades 1012 and the disc 1011 and the cover 1013 form a channel, so that the airflow flows into the closed channel from the inlet axially and flows out from the outlet radially. At the same time, part of the fluid in the channel can enter the matching space between the sealing cover 2 and the wheel body 1 through the gas inlet 4 to form the gas collecting chamber 3, and then be discharged from the gas outlet 5, so as to realize the bleed air effect.

[0056] In one embodiment, the gas inlet 4 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of gas inlets 4 are distributed along the circumference of the gas collecting chamber 3 and correspond to the plurality of channels one by one.

[0057] In the embodiment, the gas collecting cavity 3 is arranged in a ring shape and is sleeved outside the wheel body 1. The plurality of air inlets 4 are respectively communicated with the plurality of channels. The air in the channels of the wheel body 1 is introduced into the gas collecting cavity 3 along the circumferential direction of the wheel body 1, so that the air is fully collected.

[0058] In one embodiment, the wheel disc 1011, the blade 1012, the wheel cover 1013 and the first sealing ring 6001 are configured as an integrated structure.

[0059] In the embodiment, the outer ring 101 of the integrated structure eliminates the gap between the blade 1012 and the wheel cover 1013, avoids the air flow loss caused by the tip clearance, and can better achieve the design requirements of aerodynamic performance and has better structural stability.

[0060] In one embodiment, the centrifugal impeller is formed by forging, i.e., the part blank is a forging, and the wheel disc 1011, the blade 1012, the wheel cover 1013 and the first sealing ring 6001 are formed by machining, so that the machining precision is higher.

[0061] In one embodiment, the centrifugal impeller is formed by forging, so that the mechanical properties of the material are better.

[0062] In one embodiment, the reinforcing ring 102 is made of carbon fiber composite material.

[0063] It should be noted that the wheel body 1 is reinforced by high-strength lightweight composite material, which can reduce the stress of the wheel body 1, improve the allowable strength of the wheel disc 1011, break through the limitation of the tangential velocity of the closed centrifugal impeller, and significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio of the engine.

[0064] In the embodiment, the reinforcing ring 102 is arranged in the high stress area of the disc body, and the reinforcing ring 102 is made of carbon fiber composite material having high specific strength, high specific modulus and good high temperature performance, so as to improve the overall strength of the wheel body 1.

[0065] According to the embodiment of the application, in another aspect, an engine is also provided, which comprises a casing and a centrifugal impeller, and the sealing cover 2 of the centrifugal impeller is connected with the casing.

[0066] Since the engine comprises the centrifugal impeller, it has the same effects as the centrifugal impeller, which will not be described here.

[0067] Although the embodiments of the application are described in conjunction with the drawings, various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, and such modifications and changes fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
