Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aero-engine vibration control, and more specifically, to an automatic balancing system for a coaxial contra-rotating structure of a propeller fan. Background Art

[0002] As the power core of an aircraft, the vibration characteristics of an aero-engine directly affect the reliability of the whole machine. Especially for a new type of propeller fan engine, which adopts a contra-rotating dual-propeller structure, while achieving advantages such as high subsonic speed, long range, and low fuel consumption, there are special vibration problems such as harmonic cross-coupling, large vibration noise, and coupling of aerodynamic and mass imbalance caused by the micro-speed difference between the inner and outer rotors.

[0003] The traditional solution is to perform low-speed dynamic balancing after the engine is disassembled, but it requires multiple shutdowns for trial weights, with low efficiency, and cannot match the actual working conditions of the propeller rotor, and cannot quickly achieve the dynamic balance of the coaxial contra-rotating structure of the propeller fan. Therefore, an automatic balancing technology that can adapt to the actual working conditions of the propeller rotor and quickly achieve the coaxial contra-rotating structure of the propeller fan has been widely used.

[0004] However, the automatic balancing technology shows differences in technical characteristics in different application fields. For example, the invention patent with the application number EP11400004 discloses an adaptive balancing device for a rotating device, which uses a thixotropic material to automatically adjust using centrifugal force for passive balancing, but has the defect of high requirements for the rotation of the engine main shaft; the invention patent with the application number US92513810 discloses an aircraft propeller balancing system, which adopts an electromechanical drive scheme with a slip ring structure, but has the problem of contact wear affecting the service life; the invention patent with the application number 2017114343782 discloses an electromagnetic automatic balancing head, which has the technical limitation of large volume and mass; the invention patent with the application number 2018113782310 discloses an internal-excitation automatic balancing device for a propeller, which adopts a deep groove ball bearing support structure, resulting in a large overall mass of the device.

[0005] These existing technical solutions are difficult to meet the stringent working conditions requirements of aero-engines in terms of lightweight design, dynamic response speed, long-term reliability, etc. In terms of vibration identification algorithms, the traditional holographic spectrum technology has the defect of insufficient decoupling ability for multi-source coupled vibration.

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an automatic balancing system for a coaxial contra-rotating structure of a propeller fan to solve the problems existing in the prior art, such as the requirement for monotonically decreasing the residual unbalanced forces of the inner and outer rotors, monotonically decreasing the unbalanced resultant force of the dual-rotor system, difficult assembly, weak identification computing power, and slow dynamic response speed.

Among them, the signal acquisition and analysis module is used to monitor and collect the original vibration signals of the inner and outer rotors in real time, and then decouple the coupled vibration signals in the original vibration signals based on a decoupling algorithm to obtain vibration monitoring information, and send the vibration monitoring information to the automatic balance state monitoring and control module; the automatic balance state monitoring and control module is used to receive the vibration monitoring information and output a drive control instruction to the automatic balance actuator, and the drive control instruction includes the weight displacement direction and the step size; the automatic balance actuator includes an inner rotor automatic balance actuator and an outer rotor automatic balance actuator. Among them, for the inner rotor automatic balance actuator, a follow-up bearing support is arranged at the inner end of the static ring; for the outer rotor automatic balance actuator, a circularly arranged small bearing group is arranged between the moving ring and the static ring; the automatic balance actuator includes a weight disk 10, and the number of weight disks 10 is 4. The weight disk 10 moves according to the drive control instruction to complete vibration suppression.

[0032] Its working process is as Figure 1 shown:
