Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aeroengine damping ring design, and in particular to a design method for an aeroengine spiral bevel gear damping ring. Background Art

[0002] The bevel gear damping ring is a component used for vibration and noise reduction of bevel gears. With the continuous advancement of aircraft engine technology, bevel gears are gradually developing in the direction of high speed, high load and low weight. Due to the high speed of aircraft engine bevel gears and the harsh working environment, the overall gear vibration problem often occurs. In order to reduce the weight of the bevel gears, designers often use thin plates and narrow rim structures. This makes it impossible to avoid the resonant speed range of bevel gears only through structural frequency modulation and dynamic stress calculation. It is necessary to find a more effective way to avoid the resonance of bevel gears. Installing damping rings is currently an internationally recognized vibration reduction countermeasure for aircraft engine bevel gears.

[0003] When the damping ring is working, due to its own centrifugal force, it is pressed against the inner surface of the gear to generate positive pressure. The rapid alternating stress generated when the gear vibrates causes relative sliding between the damping ring and the gear, resulting in sliding friction, thereby consuming the energy generated by the gear vibration to achieve control of the gear vibration. The positive pressure between the outer surface of the damping ring and the inner surface of the gear damping ring groove needs to be controlled within an appropriate range. Excessive pressure will result in no relative sliding between the damping ring and the bevel gear, and too little pressure will result in too little friction and ineffective damping and vibration reduction effects. Therefore, this places high demands on the design of the damping ring.

[0004] The development of large bypass ratio commercial aircraft engines in China started late and is difficult. Currently, structural frequency modulation and dynamic stress calculations are mostly used to avoid the resonant speed range of arc bevel gears. Even with the experience sharing of leading domestic and foreign aircraft engine companies, there is still a lack of systematic bevel gear damping ring design methods, and the damping and vibration reduction effects cannot be effectively verified. During the whole machine test, faults caused by bevel gear resonance often occur, resulting in the failure of the whole machine test.

[0005] In view of this, the inventor of the present application has designed a design method for an aircraft engine spiral bevel gear damping ring in order to overcome the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0072] The following specifically introduces the design method of the aero-engine spiral bevel gear damping ring of the present invention from five parts: design process, design basis, design criteria, design requirements and design verification.

[0073] 1. Design Process

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the design process of the spiral bevel gear damping ring is a preferred embodiment of the design method of the spiral bevel gear damping ring of the aircraft engine, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0075] Ⅰ. First, the vibration characteristics test of the original bevel gear is carried out. The strain gauge 100 is attached to the bevel gear. It is recommended to attach two strain gauges 100 at the same position to prevent one of them from failing. The specific installation position of the strain gauge 100 is shown in Figure 2. The same accessory power load is applied, the speed increase and deceleration remains unchanged, and the stress cloud diagram is drawn for each vibration mode. The consistent power level is crucial for the test point.

[0076] Ⅱ. For the original configuration bevel gear, the damping ring 200 and the bevel gear damping ring groove 300 are designed, including the selection of the damping ring 200 structure, the layout of the position and the design of the geometric parameters. The specific design must comply with the design criteria and design requirements.

[0077] Ⅲ. After the preliminary damping ring 200 and bevel gear damping ring groove 300 are designed, the vibration characteristic test is performed again on the bevel gear with the damping ring groove and the bevel gear equipped with the damping ring 200. The strain gauge 100 is attached to the bevel gear. It is recommended to attach two strain gauges 100 at the same position to prevent one of them from failing. The specific installation position of the strain gauge 100 is shown in Figure 2. This method consists of a series of sweep frequency tests that depict the vibration characteristics of the gear dynamics characteristics at different torque levels. A stress cloud diagram is drawn for each vibration mode. The stress peak at the resonance point of each vibration reduction system is compared with the stress peak of the corresponding non-vibration reduction system. The power level consistency is crucial for the test point.

[0078] IV. Through the vibration characteristic test, the Campbell diagram, resonance stress level and resonance displacement peak value before and after the bevel gear is assembled with the damping ring 200 are compared and analyzed. The damping vibration reduction effect is checked according to the scatter point fitting line of the axial displacement of the bevel gear and the axial and radial damping coefficients of the damping ring. The vibration reduction effect of the damping ring 200 is evaluated according to the given judgment criteria. If the design requirements are met, proceed to the next step, otherwise return to step II to modify the design geometric parameters of the damping ring 200 and the bevel gear damping ring groove 300.

[0079] V. Analyze the low cycle fatigue of the damping ring 200.

[0080] VI. Analyze the high cycle fatigue of the damping ring 200.

[0081] Ⅶ. Evaluate the low- and high-cycle fatigue life of the damping ring 200. If it meets the design requirements, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, return to step II to modify the design geometric parameters of the damping ring 200 and the bevel gear damping ring groove 300.

[0082] VIII. Draw an engineering drawing of the damping ring 200.

[0083] Ⅸ. Change the engineering drawing of bevel gear.

[0084] Ⅹ. The vibration reduction effect of the damping ring 200 is verified through experiments.

[0085] 2. Design Basis

[0086] According to the performance and structural requirements of the aircraft engine transmission system for the damping ring, the design basis of the spiral bevel gear damping ring includes but is not limited to the following:

[0087] (1) Product definition;

[0088] (2) basic composition;

[0089] (3) Main performance indicators (vibration stress reduction, equivalent viscous damping coefficient, interference, etc.);

[0090] (iv) layout and structure;

[0091] (5) Vibration requirements;

[0092] (6) Environmental requirements;

[0093] (VII) Interface requirements with other parts;

[0094] (8) Reliability, maintainability, testability, supportability and safety indicators;

[0095] (IX) Transportation and storage conditions.

[0096] 3. Design Principles

[0097] The design criteria for the damping ring of spiral bevel gears include but are not limited to the following:

[0098] (1) During operation, the damping ring is pressed against the inner surface of the gear due to its own centrifugal force, generating positive pressure. The rapid alternating stress generated by the vibration of the gear causes relative sliding between the damping ring and the gear, generating friction.

[0099] (ii) The positive stress should ensure that the friction between the damping ring and the bevel gear has a vibration reduction effect, but at the same time, it should also avoid excessive positive stress that causes the damping ring and the gear to become one, thereby causing the damping ring to lose its vibration reduction effect.

[0100] (iii) After the open damping ring is worn, due to the action of the ring tension, the damping ring still maintains close contact with the gear groove, thus not affecting the damping effect of the damping ring.

[0101] (IV) When the axial vibration of the bevel gear is small, the relative slip is small, the friction energy consumption is small, and the vibration reduction effect of the damping ring is not obvious. The greater the axial vibration of the bevel gear, the greater the relative slip, the more friction energy consumption, and the more obvious the vibration reduction effect of the damping ring. Therefore, the damping ring is suitable for vibration reduction when the bevel gear is working in pitch circle and pitch diameter.

[0102] (V) The positive pressure between the outer surface of the damping ring and the inner surface of the damping ring groove should be controlled within an appropriate range. Excessive pressure will result in no relative slip between the damping ring and the bevel gear; too little pressure will result in too little friction and the damping and vibration reduction effect will not be obvious.

[0103] (VI) The most direct purpose of the damping ring is to reduce the dynamic stress at the root of the bevel gear when pitch circle and pitch diameter resonance occurs, thereby meeting the airworthiness requirements in terms of fatigue life.

[0104] (VII) The vibration reduction effect of the damping ring can be verified by comparing the displacement response of the bevel gear end face or the dynamic stress of the tooth root before and after the damping ring is installed. The two are highly correlated. In the early stage of the damping ring development, it is recommended to measure the dynamic stress and displacement at the same time. After a certain accumulation and establishment of the correlation between the two, only the displacement of the bevel gear end face can be measured. The acceleration response on the housing or bearing seat cannot reflect the vibration reduction effect of the damping ring.

[0105] (VIII) When the form and parameters of the damping ring are reasonably designed, the dynamic stress of the bevel gear can be reduced to half of the initial stress (stress in the resonance state without the damping ring) or even lower under the resonance state.

[0106] (IX) Based on the research and development experience, the natural frequency of the high-order vibration mode of the bevel gear can be accurately calculated. After the damping ring is installed, the frequency modulation work still needs to be carried out. The resonant speed of the pitch circle vibration mode and the forward and backward waves of the first four pitch diameters still needs to be as far away from the normal working speed as possible.

[0107] (10) Although the damping ring can significantly reduce the dynamic stress at the root of the bevel gear in the resonance state and help the bevel gear pass the resonance, especially in the high power state, it cannot stay in the resonance state for a long time.

[0108] 4. Design requirements

[0109] The design requirements for the damping ring of the spiral bevel gear include the selection of the damping ring structure, the layout of the position and the design of the geometric parameters. The specific contents are as follows:

[0110] (I) The spiral bevel gear damping ring includes three structural forms, namely: Figure 3A The integral damping ring shown in Figure 3B The open damping ring shown is similar to Figure 3C The spiral damping ring shown in the figure. The integral damping ring is also called the closed damping ring. It uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, and adopts the method of heating the gear and pre-cooling the damping ring to install it in the groove of the gear rim. The open type and spiral damping ring are actually developed from the integral damping ring. Its working mechanism is based on Coulomb friction on both sides and the bottom, especially the bottom of the groove. Since the design and installation of the spiral damping ring are more complicated, it is not recommended.

[0111] (II) The layout of the damping ring 200 and the bevel gear damping ring groove 300 is mainly determined by factors such as the bevel gear web structure, gear tooth parameters, gear shaft structure, etc. The damping ring axis should be collinear with the bevel gear axis. Figure 4A and Figure 4B Shown is a typical layout of a damping ring 200 and a bevel gear damping ring groove 300 .

[0112] (III) Figure 5The figure shows the cross-sectional geometric parameters of the damping ring 200 and the bevel gear damping ring groove 300. The meanings of the geometric parameters are shown in Table 1. The diameter of the damping ring 200 should match the inner diameter of the bevel gear damping ring groove 300.

[0163] like Figure 6 As shown, the radial displacement of the bevel gear can be converted by the axial displacement. Therefore, the horizontal axis is the axial displacement of the bevel gear Baxial, the vertical axis is the damping coefficient, and the hollow point represents the radial damping coefficient Q of the damping ring. radial , the solid point represents the axial damping coefficient Q of the damping ring axial, the dotted line represents the axial displacement value B1 of the bevel gear of the original configuration (without damping ring) measured by the dynamic characteristic test.

The probe sensor 400 should be parallel to the axis of the bevel gear and perpendicular to the back cone surface of the bevel gear. The advantage of this method is that there is no rotating device (no telemetry device, no slip ring or brush), but it is limited by the spatial structure of the gearbox. The high-frequency channel of the dynamic acquisition system can record dynamic frequencies up to 20kHz (the sampling frequency is not less than 50kHz). The specific installation position of the probe sensor 400 is as follows: Figure 7 The damping effect is verified based on the scattered point fitting line.
