Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft engines, and in particular, to an aircraft engine rotor test system and an aircraft engine rotor test method using the aircraft engine rotor test system. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft engines are high-speed rotating machines, and their rotor dynamics test research is of great significance in the engine development process. In the prior art, aircraft engine rotor dynamics tests are generally conducted on a horizontal rotating tester. During the test, after fixing both ends of the rotor, the lubricating oil system provides lubricating oil to the rotor bearings, and the rotor is driven to rotate by the power device (main traction motor). The test data is collected by the data acquisition device, and the data is further analyzed to obtain rotor characteristics, such as rotor dynamic characteristics, dynamic balance characteristics, vibration characteristics, etc.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN118913703A discloses a power turbine rotor maximum imbalance test device and test method, including a fully assembled engine shaft system, a torque measurement unit, a turbine simulation disk and a tester. The mass characteristics and dynamic characteristics of the turbine simulation disk are consistent with the two-stage power turbine disk assembly of the engine so as to replace the two-stage power turbine disk and be installed on the engine shaft system; a counterweight installation structure is evenly distributed along the circumference of the turbine simulation disk, which is used to connect a first counterweight at one or more preset circumferential positions according to test requirements to thereby change the imbalance of the wheel position.

[0004] However, the above test device has the following deficiencies in actual tests: 1) The above device cannot effectively recover the lubricating oil during the test. If the lubricating oil flows back directly from the test platform, it is easy to cause the lubricating oil to flow out and the oil supply and return system of the tester to be blocked.

[0005] 2) During the aircraft engine rotor test, the driving end of the tester is directly connected to the aircraft engine rotor to drive the aircraft engine rotor to rotate. However, in actual tests, the vibration of the tester itself will affect the vibration characteristics of the aircraft engine rotor, thereby interfering with the test results, making the reliability of the test results low. In addition, the high-speed rotating engine rotor is also prone to damage the tester after being damaged. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the aircraft engine rotor test system of this embodiment includes an explosion-proof cavity 100, an adapter assembly 200, a floating connecting shaft 300, a front supporting assembly 400, a rear supporting assembly 500 and an oil return assembly 600. A test platform is provided in the explosion-proof cavity 100. The adapter assembly 200, the front supporting assembly 400 and the rear supporting assembly 500 are sequentially arranged on the test platform in a horizontal direction. The adapter assembly 200 is used to connect with the driving end of the tester, the front supporting assembly 400 and the rear supporting assembly 500 are used to support the opposite ends of the aircraft engine rotor, and the floating connecting shaft 300 is used to connect with the driving end of the tester. 0 is connected to the movable end of the adapter assembly 200 and is used to connect the aircraft engine rotor and can move axially by a preset distance relative to the adapter assembly 200 and the aircraft engine rotor, the oil return assembly 600 includes a first oil return member for lubricating oil return arranged on the adapter assembly 200, a second oil return member for lubricating oil return arranged on the front support assembly 400, a third oil return member for lubricating oil return arranged on the rear support assembly 500, and an external oil tank for containing lubricating oil arranged outside the explosion-proof cavity 100 and connected to the first oil return member, the second oil return member and the third oil return member respectively.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, specifically, the aircraft engine rotor test system of the present invention forms a relatively closed space through an explosion-proof cavity 100 to conduct aircraft engine rotor tests, and contains high-energy fragments after the rotor is damaged to ensure test safety; the adapter assembly 200, the front support assembly 400 and the rear support assembly 500 are arranged in sequence on the test platform in the horizontal direction, connected to the driving end of the tester through the adapter assembly 200, and the opposite ends of the aircraft engine rotor are supported by the front support assembly 400 and the rear support assembly 500, and then the movable end of the adapter assembly 200 and the aircraft engine rotor are respectively connected through the floating connection shaft 300, so that the driving end of the tester is indirectly connected to the aircraft engine rotor, and the vibration of the tester is isolated by the axial movement of the floating connection shaft 300. On the one hand, it can greatly reduce the influence of the vibration of the tester itself on the vibration characteristics of the engine rotor, reduce the test risk, and further ensure the accuracy of the test results. On the other hand, it can effectively reduce the damage to the tester caused by the high-speed rotating engine rotor being damaged during the test; during the test, in the oil return assembly 6 00, the lubricating oil in the lubricating adapter assembly 200, the front support assembly 400 and the rear support assembly 500 respectively flows back to the external oil tank outside the explosion-proof cavity 100 through the first oil return member, the second oil return member and the third oil return member. On the one hand, it can reduce to prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out, which can greatly reduce the consumption of test lubricating oil, and completely eliminate the problem of the test platform being full of lubricating oil, which brings convenience to the test operation and optimizes the test site environment; on the other hand, since the lubricating oil does not flow through the test platform, the impurity content in the return oil is greatly reduced, which can effectively solve the problem of supplying and returning oil to the tester. The system is prone to clogging. In addition, the problem of difficulty in oil return caused by the reverse pressure gradient in the test chamber relative to the external oil tank during the rotor test can be improved, and the efficiency of lubricating oil return during the test can be improved. The scheme cooperates with the explosion-proof cavity 100, the adapter assembly 200, the floating connecting shaft 300, the front support assembly 400, the rear support assembly 500 and the oil return assembly 600 to carry out aircraft engine rotor testing. Compared with the existing technology, the test results are highly reliable, the lubricating oil can be effectively recovered, the tester is not easy to be damaged, the practicability is strong, and it is suitable for wide promotion and application.

[0024] Optionally, the explosion-proof chamber 100 also has a vacuum pumping function, so that the aircraft engine can be operated under vacuum conditions, thereby greatly improving the versatility of the test system.

[0025] It should be understood that when the aircraft engine rotor is not tested in a vacuum environment, the aerodynamic load will affect the dynamic characteristics of the rotor. At the same time, if the rotor with real engine blades is tested, the presence of aerodynamic loads will significantly increase the load on the power unit (main traction motor). Due to the power limitation of the power unit (main traction motor), it will be impossible to conduct high-speed real engine rotor tests, and only some low-speed simulated rotor tests with simulated disks can be carried out, which have poor versatility.

[0026] Optionally, when the explosion-proof cavity 100 is in a vacuum state, the pressure inside the cavity has a reverse pressure gradient relative to the external oil tank, and the setting of the oil return assembly 600 can effectively improve the oil return efficiency.
