Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of reverse thrust of a turbofan engine, and in particular to an adjustable test reverse thrust cascade. Background Art

[0002] In the reverse thrust technology of turbofan engines, the thrust reverser can change the direction of the engine thrust. The thrust reverser deflects the exhaust gas from the engine forward at a certain angle, thereby generating a thrust component in the opposite direction of the normal thrust, thereby achieving the purpose of slowing down the aircraft. The thrust reverser can shorten the aircraft's landing run distance and can also be used as an emergency brake device when the aircraft fails to take off. The thrust reverser cascade is a key component of the thrust reverser to change the direction of the engine exhaust flow.

[0003] Figure 1 It is a partial schematic diagram of a high bypass ratio turbofan engine in the prior art. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of blade density parameters of the reverse blade cascade in the prior art. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the experimental reverse thrust cascade in the prior art.

[0004] like Figure 1 As shown, when the aircraft lands, the thrust reverser works, and the airflow passes through the outer duct 10, and is discharged from the engine through the thrust reverser port 20, the thrust reverser blade cascade flow channel 30, and the thrust reverser port 40. The front end of the thrust reverser is connected to the torque box 50, and the rear end is connected to the blade cascade support ring 60 by fasteners.

[0005] like Figure 2 As shown, the axial length dimension a of the blade cascade remains unchanged, and the blade spacing value b is changed by adjusting the number of blades 80, thereby changing the blade density and thus changing the airflow outlet area.

[0006] Blade density and cascade axial length are key parameters in cascade design, which can be obtained through simulation calculations and finally verified through reverse thrust cascade aerodynamic performance tests. Figure 3 As shown, the existing test thrust reverser cascade is composed of a test fixture 70 and an integral blade cascade 100, and the front and rear ends of the test fixture 70 and the integral blade cascade 100 are connected by fasteners 90. The existing test thrust reverser cascade is an integrated fixed structure and does not have adjustable characteristics. If the thrust reverser cascades of other blade densities and other blade axial lengths are tested, the fasteners 90 need to be removed and the integral blade cascade 100 needs to be replaced as a whole. Therefore, a thrust reverser cascade aerodynamic test can only verify the axial arrangement of a single blade cascade. If the aerodynamic performance of thrust reverser cascades with multiple blade axial arrangements needs to be verified, the integral blade cascade 100 needs to be redesigned and manufactured and then retested, which increases the test cost and prolongs the test cycle, thereby prolonging the entire blade design cycle, which is not conducive to project development.

When connected, the hook head 14 of the rear hook 13 fills the hook groove 15 of the front hook 12 to avoid forming holes and seams, which affect the aerodynamic performance of the longitudinal plate of the adjustable test reverse thrust cascade formed by the front and back connection.

[0085] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the upper and lower edges of the front hook 12 and the rear hook 13 can be flush with the upper and lower edges of the longitudinal plate 10 to avoid the formation of convex humps and concave pits that affect the aerodynamic performance of the longitudinal plates of the adjustable test reverse thrust cascade formed by the front and rear connections.

[0086] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the front hook 12 and the rear hook 13 can have the same shape and size, and only have different positions. The hook head 14 of the front hook 12 corresponds to the hook groove 15 of the rear hook 13, and the hook groove 15 of the front hook 12 corresponds to the hook head 14 of the rear hook 13, so as to achieve the snap connection. For example, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the front hook 12 and the rear hook 13 are centrally symmetrical. This makes the design, manufacture, disassembly and arrangement simpler.

[0087] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the hook groove 15 of the front hook 12 may open upward and have a rectangular accommodation space, and the hook head 14 of the front hook 12 may protrude upward and have a rectangular outline. The lower edge of the front hook 12 may be flush with the lower edge of the longitudinal plate 10. The hook groove 15 of the rear hook 13 may open downward and have a rectangular accommodation space, and the hook head 14 of the rear hook 13 may protrude downward and have a rectangular outline. The upper edge of the rear hook 13 may be flush with the upper edge of the longitudinal plate 10.

[0088] A variety of blade units 3 can be designed and manufactured. The front connecting parts 7 and rear connecting parts 6 of different blade units 3 have different forward and backward protruding lengths. Replacing different blade units 3 can adjust the axial length a of the cascade and the blade density, and the test operation is simple. In addition, the axial length a of the cascade can be adjusted while replacing different blade units 3 to adjust the blade density, and there is no need to disassemble the leading edge component 1 and the trailing edge component 2, so the test operation is simple. The different forward and backward protruding lengths of the front connecting parts 7 and the rear connecting parts 6 of different blade units 3 can be achieved by lengthening or shortening the protruding lengths of the front hook 12 and the rear hook 13.

[0089] Although the present invention is disclosed as above by the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
