Usually, users will put forward requirements for the replacement time of LRUs in the overall development requirements. In addition to the design factors of the engine itself, the opening of aircraft access panels is also an important factor affecting the replacement time of LRUs. In the evaluation of this indicator, the data for hair loss evaluation is relatively easy to evaluate, while the installation replacement time is difficult to evaluate.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 Make a further detailed description of the present application.

[0019] The present application provides an analysis and evaluation method for the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit of an aero-engine, including the following steps: Step 1: Determine the key factors affecting the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit, and construct an analysis and evaluation model for the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit based on the key factors; Step 2: Obtain the values of each key factor, and substitute the values of each key factor into the analysis and evaluation model for the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit to calculate the evaluation value of the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit in the installed state; Step 3: Obtain the actual value of the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit in the installed state, and verify the evaluation value of the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit in the installed state based on the actual value of the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit in the installed state.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, in Step 1, first, determine the key factors affecting the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit. In the preferred embodiment of the present application, there are three key factors affecting the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit. One is the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit in the hair loss state, and this key factor is the inherent maintainability design of the engine; another is the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient, and this key factor is the factor after the engine is installed; the third is the standard person coefficient, and this key factor reflects the influence caused by different operators on the result.

[0021] In this embodiment, according to the above three key factors, an analysis and evaluation model for the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit is constructed. The analysis and evaluation model for the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit is: ; Among them, T cti is the evaluation value of the replacement time of the i-th field-replaceable unit in the installed state, T i is the replacement time of the i-th field-replaceable unit in the hair loss state, S is the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient, M is the standard person coefficient.

[0022] This analysis and evaluation model for the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit takes the replacement time T i of each field-replaceable unit in the hair loss state as the reference value, determines the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient and the standard person coefficient according to the installation influence degree, and performs a product operation on the reference value, the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient and the standard person coefficient to obtain the evaluation value of the replacement time of the field-replaceable unit in the installed state.

[0023] In this embodiment, the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient S is: ; Among them, a 1 、a 2 ,... a j are the difficulty coefficients of different influencing factors respectively.

[0024] Generally, the main influencing factors restricting the replacement of parts after the aero-engine is installed are the access cover position, safety wiring, and force limit. Therefore, the difficulty coefficients of the influencing factors include: the difficulty coefficient of the access cover position, the difficulty coefficient of safety wiring, and the difficulty coefficient of force limit.

[0025] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, in Step 2, obtaining the value of the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient includes: Select a value between 1 and 10 as the value of the access panel position difficulty coefficient according to the relationship between the field replaceable unit and the access panel position. See Table 1; Determine whether to install a safety device. If so, the value of the safety device installation difficulty coefficient is 2. If not, the value of the safety device installation difficulty coefficient is 1. See Table 2; Determine whether there is a force limit. If so, the value of the force limit difficulty coefficient is 2. If not, the value of the force limit difficulty coefficient is 1. See Table 3; Perform a product operation on the values of the access panel position difficulty coefficient, the safety device installation difficulty coefficient, and the force limit difficulty coefficient to calculate the value of the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient.

[0027] Table 2

[0028] Table 3

[0029] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, in step two, obtaining the value of the standard person coefficient includes: Define the proficiency and technical level of the standard person; Determine the proficiency and technical level of the operator; Score the operator's proficiency according to the proficiency of the standard person to obtain the first standard person coefficient; Score the operator's technical level according to the technical level of the standard person to obtain the second standard person coefficient; Add the first standard person coefficient and the second standard person coefficient to obtain the value of the standard person coefficient.

[0030] By constructing a technical worker evaluation system, convert the influence of the operator into an external field standard person according to the proficiency and technical level of the operator, avoiding the influence caused by different operators on the results.

[0031] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, the values of the difficulty coefficients of each influencing factor and the standard person coefficient are respectively determined by 3 workers with experience in installing and replacing parts and 1 external structural designer, and the average value is calculated. Then, calculate the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient according to the determined difficulty coefficients of each influencing factor. Table 4 shows the comprehensive installation influence difficulty coefficient and the standard person coefficient obtained by taking a certain fuel pump as an example.

[0032] Table 4

[0033] Obtain the value of the replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit's hair loss state. After determining the comprehensive installation impact difficulty coefficient and the standard person coefficient through the above method, calculate the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit according to the outfield replaceable unit replacement time analysis and evaluation model. Table 5 shows the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit obtained taking a certain fuel pump as an example.

[0034] Table 5

[0035] For the analysis and evaluation method of the replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit of the aero-engine in this application, after obtaining the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit, it is necessary to verify the accuracy of the evaluation result. In step three, the verification process specifically includes: Obtain the actual value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit; Calculate the error between the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit and the corresponding actual value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit; Judge whether the error between the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit and the corresponding actual value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit meets the requirements. If so, the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit is valid; otherwise, return to step two to re-obtain the values of each key factor.

[0036] Among them, the error between the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit and the corresponding actual value of the installation state replacement time of the outfield replaceable unit is: ; Among them, is the error between the evaluation value of the installation state replacement time of the i-th outfield replaceable unit and the actual value of the installation state replacement time of the i-th outfield replaceable unit, is the actual value of the installation state replacement time of the i-th outfield replaceable unit.

[0037] Taking the outfield replaceable units actually replaced in the installed state as the object, calculate the error according to the evaluation value and the actual value. If the error is less than or equal to 0.1, the evaluation value is valid. If the error is greater than 0.1, corresponding adjustments need to be made to the values of each key factor. The verification process can select more than 2 samples among the outfield replaceable units for verification according to the actual obtained real replacement time sample situation. Table 6 shows the verification results obtained taking a certain fuel pump as an example.

[0038] Table 6

[0039] The method for analyzing and evaluating the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit of the aero-engine in this application solves the problem of the difficulty in evaluating the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit under the condition that the engine does not obtain the data samples for replacing the line-replaceable unit during installation, and improves the ability of the aero-engine line-replaceable unit design analysis and maintainability quantitative index analysis and evaluation.

[0040] For the method for analyzing and evaluating the replacement time of the line-replaceable unit of the aero-engine in this application, all the required conditions and data are obtained by the engine design unit without being restricted by other conditions; a mathematical model is adopted without relying on software tools, reducing the analysis and evaluation cost; the efficiency of maintainability analysis and evaluation is improved, and multiple evaluations can be realized during the whole life cycle work to iteratively improve the design.

[0041] The above is only the specific implementation manner of this application, but the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered by the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
