Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a fuel distribution non-uniformity detection device and a method for using the same, belonging to the technical field of part detection. Background Art
[0002] In the existing fuel distribution non-uniformity detection device, due to the over-large design of the positioning diameter and the size of the positioning surface, the overall volume of the supporting connection fixture has increased significantly, which not only increases the labor intensity of the operator during disassembly, but also raises the manufacturing cost due to the increase in the amount of fixture material used and the processing complexity.
[0003] At the same time, due to the limited fuel flow rate, the accuracy of the flow splitting area during the detection process directly affects the reliability of the non-uniformity measurement. However, due to the design defects of the flow channel in the existing device, it is difficult to accurately identify the tiny flow rate differences, resulting in insufficient detection accuracy.
[0004] In addition, the height design of the original flow splitting cone tip relative to the positioning surface is unreasonable. To meet the distance requirement between the spray hole and the cone tip, the fixture needs to adopt an embedded structure to penetrate deep into the detection device, which further exacerbates the observation blind area and makes it difficult to monitor the fuel flow state in real time.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0039] A fuel distribution non-uniformity detection device includes a cover plate 1, a backing plate 2, an upper shroud 3, a fluid splitter 4, a vertical partition 5, a lower shroud 6, a bottom plate 7, a conical tip 8, a core column 9, a support column 10, and a fuel nozzle 11. The lower end of the bottom plate 7 is fixedly connected by welding to the upper ends of a plurality of support columns 10 evenly distributed along its circumference. The upper end of the bottom plate 7 is fixedly connected by welding to the lower end of the lower shroud 6. The upper end of the lower shroud 6 is fixedly connected by welding after being assembled with an interference fit to the lower end of the upper shroud 3. The middle of the bottom plate 7 is fixedly connected by welding to the lower end of the core column 9. The upper end of the core column 9 is fixedly connected by welding to the middle of the lower end face of the fluid splitter 4. The middle of the upper end face of the fluid splitter 4 is inserted with an interference fit to the lower end of the conical tip 8. Since the distance for most fuel nozzles to detect fuel distribution non-uniformity is generally 50 mm or 55 mm, the distance from the highest point of the conical tip 8 of the present invention to the upper surface of the backing plate 2 is designed to be 48 mm, which is convenient for the design of the fixture for assembling parts and avoids the fixture being too large. The accuracy of the fluid splitter is also strict to ensure the detection accuracy. A backing plate 2 with an annular structure is placed on the upper end of the fluid splitter 4. A cover plate 1 with an annular structure is placed on the upper end of the backing plate 2. The upper end face of the cover plate 1 is a positioning surface, and a positioning diameter is provided at the center for assembling the fixture of the part to be detected. The outer walls of the cover plate 1, the backing plate 2, and the fluid splitter 4 are all in clearance fit with the inner wall of the upper shroud 3. The lower end of the fluid splitter 4 is inserted and fixed to the upper ends of a plurality of vertical partitions 5. The lower end of each vertical partition 5 is inserted and fixed to the bottom plate 7. An oil passage 14 is formed between every two adjacent vertical partitions 5. The lower end face of the bottom plate 7 is threadedly connected and communicated with a plurality of fuel nozzles 11 evenly distributed along its circumference. Each fuel nozzle 11 is communicated with the corresponding oil passage 14. An explosion-proof oil pipe 13 is inserted with an interference fit outside each fuel nozzle 11. The oil outlet ends of each explosion-proof oil pipe 13 are respectively arranged corresponding to the corresponding equipment electronic scale and are connected to the equipment fuel tank to realize oil return. Or the oil outlet ends of each explosion-proof oil pipe 13 are respectively inserted into the corresponding measuring cups to make the observation of non-uniformity more intuitive.
[0040] The fluid splitter 4 includes an outer ring body 401 and a plurality of flow splitting blocks 402 evenly distributed radially from the center to the outer ring body. Each flow splitting block 402 extends outward from the center, and its outer end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer ring body 401, and its inner end converges at the central axis of the fluid splitter. Each flow splitting block 402 is an isosceles triangular pyramid. An oil passage 14 is formed between every two adjacent flow splitting blocks 402. The lower end of each flow splitting block 402 is respectively inserted and fixed to the upper end of the corresponding vertical partition 5.
[0041] The upper surface of the bottom plate 7 is provided with a plurality of integrally formed wedge-shaped blocks 701, and the plurality of wedge-shaped blocks 701 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of oil passageways 14. A vertical partition plate 5 is inserted into the gap between every two adjacent wedge-shaped blocks 701. The outer side wall of each wedge-shaped block 701 is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the lower surrounding plate 6; an oil hole 702 penetrating the lower surface of the bottom plate 7 is provided on the outer side of each wedge-shaped block 701, and each of the oil holes 702 is threadedly screwed with a corresponding oil nozzle 11; each wedge-shaped block 701 has a guiding surface with an inclination angle of 5°-15°, and the height of the guiding surface gradually decreases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the bottom plate 7.
[0042] A plurality of pressure sensors are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the cover plate 1 along its circumferential direction. After the fixture is positioned, the uniformity of the force at each point is detected by the pressure sensors. If the force deviation at a certain point exceeds 10%, the controller triggers an alarm and marks the corresponding area, indicating that the fixture is installed obliquely or the part is deformed.
[0043] Vertical flow guiding grooves are provided on both side walls of each vertical partition plate 5, and the depth of each flow guiding groove increases from top to bottom. The flow guiding grooves can guide the fuel to flow more smoothly in the oil passageway 14, reduce the retention and turbulence of the fuel, and improve the detection accuracy.
[0044] The surface roughness of each vertical partition plate 5 is Ra≤1.6μm, the thickness tolerance of the vertical partition plate 5 is only 0.03mm, and the angle accuracy of each vertical partition plate is relatively strict, ensuring uniform equal division along the circumferential direction of the cone tip.
[0045] A detachable flow guiding cap is provided at the top of the cone tip 8 by threaded screwing or interference fit. Micron-level guiding grooves extending along the radial direction of the flow guiding cap are distributed on the surface of the flow guiding cap. The material of the flow guiding cap is oil-repellent ceramic and is detachably connected to the cone tip 8 by threads to adapt to the fuel detection requirements of different viscosities. At the same time, the micron structure can change the surface tension and wettability of the fuel, make the fuel more evenly dispersed on the cone tip 8, improve the uniformity of the fuel distribution, and evenly disperse the fuel to each oil passageway 14, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
[0046] An ultrasonic flowmeter is integrated at the oil outlet end of each explosion-proof oil pipe 13. Twelve measuring points in an annular array are arranged at the oil outlet end, and the flow velocity distribution is calculated by the time difference method to realize three-dimensional flow field reconstruction.

When the force value deviation at any point exceeds the set threshold, an alarm is triggered;
[0049] S2: Start the fuel supply system. The fuel forms a columnar jet through the nozzle orifice and impacts the deflector cap, achieving the first uniform dispersion through the guide grooves on its surface. The dispersed fuel undergoes secondary diversion along the isosceles triangular prism deflector surface of the flow splitter block 402;
[0050] S3: The fuel after double diversion enters the oil passage 14 formed by the vertical partition 5. The guide grooves of the vertical partition 5 guide the fuel to form a laminar flow state, reducing the influence of turbulence on the measurement accuracy;
[0051] S4: The fuel in each oil passage 14 enters the measurement section of the ultrasonic flowmeter through the explosion-proof oil pipe 13. The 12 measurement points in the annular array of the ultrasonic flowmeter synchronously collect the flow velocity data, and a three-dimensional flow velocity field model is constructed using the time-difference method algorithm. The flow velocity distribution cloud map of each cross-section is displayed through the device viewer;
[0052] S5: After the detection data is processed by the analysis terminal, an unevenness evaluation report is automatically generated, including the maximum deviation value, the deviation distribution area, and the recommended improvement direction, supporting dual-format output of PDF / Excel.
