Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aero-engines, and more particularly to a method and system for reconstructing turbofan engine signals. Background Art

[0002] For aviation turbofan engines, engine signal failure may occur during engine operation. If protection measures are not taken in time after the engine signal failure is detected, the fault signal cannot be correctly located and it may become or dominate the output signal of the signal selection logic, and eventually enter the control loop and affect the performance and safety of the engine. This may cause the engine to stall, performance degradation or loss of control, thus having a serious impact on flight safety.

[0003] During flight, signal failures often occur due to the small number of onboard sensor measurement points. At this time, signal reconstruction processing measures are particularly important. If the signal failure cannot be processed and thrust recovery and fuel selection are correct, it will have a certain impact on flight safety.

[0004] Signal reconstruction methods and systems can represent the development direction of engine airborne control technology and can significantly improve flight safety. Signal reconstruction means that when all signals fail, the control logic can rely on the reconstructed signal method to replace the failed signal to achieve control functions and ensure the safe operation of the engine.

[0005] On the engine test bench, various sensors or monitoring devices can be used to detect signal failures and handle them in a timely manner. However, during the actual flight of the aircraft, due to the limited number of onboard sensors, signal failure reconstruction can only rely on the limited speed, temperature or pressure signals carried by the engine itself.

[0006] Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of engine operation, the processing method needs to ensure both thrust and engine performance. However, in the prior art, there is no suitable method for engine signal reconstruction to achieve thrust recovery and fuel selection correctness under signal failure. Therefore, it is necessary to further research and develop new signal reconstruction methods and technologies to improve flight safety and represent the direction of engine onboard control technology development. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] The above and other features, properties and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent through the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, in which the same reference numerals always represent the same features.

[0052] Figure 1Reveals the flowchart of the reconstruction method for turbofan engine signals according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0053] Figure 2 Reveals the flowchart of the voting and reconstruction of engine signals according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0054] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the invention and are not used to limit the invention.

[0055] A method for reconstructing turbofan engine signals proposed by the present invention, when the aero-engine signals fail, classifies key signals according to the reliability of channel signals, and uses the signal with the lowest signal failure probability as the starting point of the signal chain, while ensuring that the failure probabilities of all channels of this signal meet the requirements, so as to ensure that the signal chain can still be reconstructed in the case of multiple signal failures, and the signal reconstruction method has high reliability.

[0056] Figure 1 Reveals the flowchart of the reconstruction method for turbofan engine signals according to an embodiment of the present invention,

[0057] Figure 2 Reveals the flowchart of the voting and reconstruction of engine signals according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a method for reconstructing turbofan engine signals proposed by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S1: Real-time collect and monitor several key signals of the engine through multiple acquisition channels of different signal sources;

[0059] Step S2: When the difference between the key signals of different signal sources or different acquisition channels is greater than the tolerance threshold, it is considered that the key signal fails, and vote and / or reconstruct the key signal;

[0060] Among them, the key signals include key signals related to engine and thrust control, and key signals related to engine and fuel control.

[0061] A method for reconstructing turbofan engine signals proposed by the present invention, when there are differences greater than the tolerance threshold in signals from different signal sources and different channels, it is necessary to vote and reconstruct the signal, and the reconstruction criterion is to determine the signal source that meets the safety requirements, so as to ensure that after the signal with the safety failure probability not meeting the requirements fails, it can be reconstructed with reliable signals.

[0062] As Figure 2The signal voting and reconstruction flow chart shown, wherein the starting point of the arrow is the signal source, the end point of the arrow voting is the signal voting result, the end point of the arrow function is the signal reconstruction result, and the calculation relationship is directly connected to the signal source through the arrow.

[0063] In this embodiment, the key signals related to engine thrust control include:

[0064] Atmospheric static pressure P0, ambient total temperature T0, Mach number Ma, high-pressure shaft speed N2, low-pressure shaft speed N1, fan inlet total temperature T12, high-pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25, fan inlet static pressure PS12.

[0065] Among them, the key signals for voting are as follows:

[0066] Atmospheric static pressure P0 is determined by voting between the aircraft atmospheric static pressure signal P0_AC and the engine atmospheric static pressure signal P0_Eng;

[0067] The total ambient temperature T0 is determined by voting between the aircraft ambient total temperature signal T0_AC and the fan inlet total temperature T12;

[0068] The Mach number Ma is determined by voting between the aircraft Mach number Ma_AC and the engine Mach number Ma_Eng.

[0069] Among them, the calculation function of the engine Mach number is Ma_Eng=f(Ps12,P0,N1R).

[0070] Among them, the key signals and reconstruction methods for reconstruction are as follows:

[0071] The total temperature of the fan inlet, T12, is reconstructed by the total temperature of the environment, T0, T12 = T0;

[0072] The total temperature at the high-pressure compressor inlet, T25, is reconstructed by the low-pressure conversion speed N1R and the total temperature at the fan inlet, T25 = f(N1R)*T12;

[0073] The fan inlet static pressure PS12 is reconstructed by the atmospheric static pressure P0, PS12 = P0.

[0074] The low-pressure shaft is the transmission shaft that connects the low-pressure turbine and the low-pressure compressor inside a twin-shaft turbofan engine. One end of the low-pressure shaft is connected to the low-pressure turbine, and the other end is connected to the low-pressure compressor, that is, the fan and the supercharger stage. The power and torque generated by the low-pressure turbine are transmitted to the fan and supercharger stage components through the low-pressure shaft.

[0075] The high-pressure shaft is the transmission shaft that connects the high-pressure turbine and the high-pressure compressor in a twin-shaft turbofan engine. One end of the high-pressure shaft is connected to the high-pressure turbine, and the other end is connected to the high-pressure compressor. The work and torque generated by the high-pressure turbine are transmitted to the high-pressure compressor components through the high-pressure shaft.

[0076] According to the thrust level and related signals, the thrust management low-pressure conversion speed above idle is calculated as N1R=f(P0,T0,Ma).

[0077] According to the thrust level and related signals, the high-pressure conversion speed of the slow-speed thrust management is calculated as N2R=f(P0,T0,Ma).

[0078] The engine low-pressure shaft speed N1 is calculated by the low-pressure conversion speed N1R. The relationship between the low-pressure shaft speed N1 and the low-pressure conversion speed N1R is N1=N1R*(T12 / 288.15)^0.5. The relationship between the low-pressure conversion speed N1R and the engine low-pressure shaft speed N1 is:

[0079] N1R=N1 / (T12 / 288.15)^0.5.

[0080] The engine high-pressure shaft speed N2 is calculated through the high-pressure converted speed N2R. The relationship between the high-pressure shaft speed N2 and the high-pressure converted speed N2R is N2=N2R*(T25 / 288.15)^0.5. The relationship between the high-pressure converted speed N2R and the high-pressure shaft speed N2 is: N2R=N2 / (T25 / 288.15)^0.5.

[0081] The high-pressure shaft speed N2 and the low-pressure shaft speed can back up each other. Each signal source has multiple channel signals, and its failure probability should meet the safety requirements as the source of the signal chain.

[0082] The engine low-pressure shaft speed N1 and the high-pressure shaft speed N2 can be reconstructed through the conversion speed relationship, and the low-pressure conversion speed N1R calculation function N1R=f(N2R).

[0083] The engine high-pressure shaft speed N2 and the low-pressure shaft speed N1 can be reconstructed through the conversion speed relationship, and the high-pressure conversion speed N2R calculation function N2R=f(N1R).

[0084] In addition to thrust control, fuel control plays an important role in steady-state and unsteady-state control. In steady-state and unsteady-state control, in order to prevent turbine overheating, fuel distribution needs to be adjusted, involving parameters such as the fuel distribution ratio M. In unsteady-state control, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of fuel selection, which involves the conversion of fuel flow WFR and the conversion of acceleration rate N2dotR and other rules corresponding to fuel parameters.

[0085] The fuel distribution ratio M, the corresponding calculation function is: M = f (WF, PS3, T3);

[0086] Wherein, WF is the fuel flow rate, which is obtained by interpolating the target fuel and the calibration table and is a non-measured value; PS3 is the high-pressure compressor outlet static pressure, and T3 is the high-pressure compressor outlet total temperature.

[0087] Convert the fuel flow rate WFR, and the corresponding calculation function is:

[0088] WFR=WF / (PS3 / 101.325)^beta / (T25 / 288.15)^alpha;

[0089] Among them, beta and alpha are conversion indices, WF is the fuel flow rate, PS3 is the high pressure compressor outlet static pressure, and T25 is the high pressure compressor inlet total temperature;

[0090] The conversion acceleration rate N2dotR, the corresponding calculation function is: N2dotR = N2dot / (P25 / 101.325);

[0091] Among them, P25 is the total pressure at the high-pressure compressor inlet, and N2dot is the change rate of the high-pressure shaft speed N2.

[0092] In this embodiment, the key signals related to engine and fuel control include:

[0093] High-pressure compressor outlet static pressure PS3, high-pressure compressor inlet total pressure P25, high-pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25, high-pressure compressor outlet total temperature T3.

[0094] Among them, the high-pressure compressor inlet total pressure P25 can be replaced by the high-pressure compressor inlet static pressure PS25 or PS25 sensor.

[0095] Among them, the key signals and reconstruction methods for reconstruction are as follows:

[0096] The high-pressure compressor outlet static pressure PS3 is reconstructed by the high-pressure compressor inlet total pressure P25 and the high-pressure converted speed N2R, or by the high-pressure compressor inlet total pressure P25 and the high-pressure compressor outlet total temperature T3 / the high-pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25, PS3 = f(N2R)*P25 (or PS3 = f(T3 / T25)*P25). The reconstruction method is not limited to the thermodynamic method, and the parameter model correction method can also be used as an alternative.

[0097] It should be noted that the high-pressure compressor outlet total temperature T3 / high-pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25 refers to the ratio of the high-pressure compressor outlet total temperature T3 to the high-pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25, and has the same meaning in the formulas appearing in the text.

[0098] The total pressure P25 at the high pressure compressor inlet is reconstructed by the atmospheric static pressure P0 and the low pressure conversion speed N1R, or by the atmospheric static pressure P0 and the high pressure compressor inlet total temperature T25 / the fan inlet total temperature T12, P25=f(N1R)*P0 (or P25=f(T25 / T12)*P0). The reconstruction method is not limited to the thermodynamic method, and the parameter model correction method can also be used as an alternative.

[0099] The total temperature T3 at the high pressure compressor outlet is reconstructed by the static pressure T25 at the high pressure compressor inlet and the high pressure conversion speed N2R, T3 = f(N2R)*T25. The reconstruction method is not limited to the thermodynamic method, and the parameter model correction method can also be used as an alternative.

[0100] The total temperature T25 at the high-pressure compressor inlet is reconstructed by the total temperature T12 at the fan inlet and the low-pressure converted speed N1R, T25=f(N1R)*T12. The reconstruction method is not limited to the thermodynamic method, and the parameter model correction method can also be used as an alternative.

[0101] The method for reconstructing turbofan engine signals proposed by the present invention votes on the key signals, and the corresponding signal voting method further includes:

[0102] Determine whether the signal parameters of the signal source participating in the voting are valid;

[0103] The signal parameters are assigned corresponding weight systems, wherein valid signal parameters are assigned corresponding weight coefficients, and invalid signal parameters are assigned weight coefficients of 0, and the sum of all weight coefficients is 1;

[0104] All signal parameters are multiplied by the corresponding weight coefficients and then summed to obtain the voted signal parameters.

[0105] Furthermore, when all signal parameters are invalid, the signal parameters voted for adopt a default value, which is a preset constant value.

[0106] As shown in the signal voting logic in Table 1, the signal parameter of the X signal source participating in the voting is recorded as Xsel, the signal parameter of the Y signal source participating in the voting is recorded as Ysel, and the signal parameter voted out is recorded as ZSEL.

[0107] The X signal source signal and the Y signal source signal can be aircraft or engine signals, T is valid and F is invalid.

[0108] Table 1

[0109] Serial number XSEL YSEL ZSEL 1 T T XSEL+A*(YSEL-XSEL) 2 T F XSEL 3 F T YSEL 4 F F F

[0110] In case 1, the XSEL signal is valid, the YSEL signal is valid, the weight coefficient of the X source signal XSEL is (1-A), the weight coefficient of the Y source signal YSEL is A, and the signal parameter ZSEL=XSEL+A*(YSEL-XSEL).

[0111] In case 2, the XSEL signal is valid, the YSEL signal is invalid, the weight coefficient of the X source signal XSEL is 1, the weight coefficient of the Y source signal YSEL is 0, and the signal parameter ZSEL=XSEL is voted.

[0112] In case of sequence number 3, the XSEL signal is invalid, the YSEL signal is valid, the weight coefficient of the X source signal XSEL is 0, the weight coefficient of the Y source signal YSEL is 1, and the signal parameter ZSEL=YSEL is voted.

[0113] In case of sequence number 4, the XSEL signal fails, the YSEL signal fails, and the signal parameter ZSEL voted adopts the default value, which is a preset constant value.

[0114] The signal voting method is not limited to the relationship in Table 1 above. When there are multiple signals in the signal source X and the signal source Y, a weighted relationship can still be used for processing.

[0115] The present invention also provides a turbofan engine signal reconstruction system, which comprises at least a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores computer instructions that can be run on the processor, and when the processor runs the computer instructions, the steps of any of the above-mentioned turbofan engine signal reconstruction methods are executed.
