[0002] As the core of aircraft power, the vibration characteristics of aircraft engines directly impact overall reliability. This is particularly true for new propfan engines, which utilize contra-rotating twin propellers. While achieving advantages such as high subsonic speeds, long range, and low fuel consumption, they also present unique vibration challenges, including harmonic cross-coupling caused by the slight speed difference between the inner and outer rotors, high vibration noise, and coupling between aerodynamic and mass imbalances.

[0003] The traditional solution involves performing low-speed dynamic balancing after disassembly, but this requires multiple stops for weight testing, is inefficient, and fails to adapt to the actual operating conditions of the propeller rotor, making it difficult to quickly achieve dynamic balancing of the coaxial counter-rotating propeller-fan structure. Therefore, automatic balancing technology, which can adapt to the actual operating conditions of the propeller rotor and quickly achieve dynamic balancing of the coaxial counter-rotating propeller-fan structure, has been widely used.

In terms of vibration identification algorithms, traditional holographic spectrum technology suffers from insufficient ability to decouple multi-source coupled vibrations.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the present application discloses an automatic balancing system for a coaxial counter-rotating propeller fan structure, comprising a signal acquisition and analysis module, an automatic balancing state monitoring and control module, and an automatic balancing actuator, wherein the signal acquisition and analysis module is used to monitor and acquire 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 balancing state monitoring and control module; the automatic balancing state monitoring and control module is used to receive the vibration monitoring information and output a drive control instruction to the automatic balancing actuator, wherein the drive control instruction includes a counterweight displacement direction and a step amount; the automatic balancing actuator includes an inner rotor automatic balancing actuator and an outer rotor automatic balancing actuator, wherein the inner rotor automatic balancing actuator is provided with a follower bearing support at the inner end of the static ring; the outer rotor automatic balancing actuator is provided with a small bearing group arranged in an annular manner between the dynamic ring and the static ring; the automatic balancing actuators each include a counterweight disc 10, the number of which is 4, and the counterweight disc 10 moves according to the drive control instruction to achieve vibration suppression.

[0032] Its workflow is as follows Figure 1 As shown:

[0033] The vibration accelerometer collects the vibration signals of the dual rotors in real time. The speed Hall effect sensor 21 acquires the speed pulses of the inner and outer rotors via the rotating ring speed positioning magnet 22. The position Hall effect sensor 20 detects the circumferential offset angles of the four counterweight disks 10 via the counterweight disk magnets 23. The four-channel acquisition card is independently powered by the acquisition box, the programmable controller (PLC) is powered by a 24V power supply, and the Hall effect sensor is powered by a 5V power supply. The vibration, speed, and position signals are transmitted to the host computer via a network cable. The dual-rotor imbalance identification software uses the HLSM-KF algorithm to perform harmonic decoupling on the original time domain signals. The host computer software implements the dual-plane influence coefficient method, combined with a two-stage robust optimization algorithm, to calculate the target compensation angles of the four counterweight disks 10 and generate control instructions containing the displacement direction and step size. The control instructions are transmitted to the programmable controller (PLC) via the RS232 protocol and encoded as four pulse modulation signals. A PLC-controlled pulse controller outputs a variable-width pulse current to the target enameled copper coil 06, generating a gradient electromagnetic field within the coil support 05, the side excitation ring assembly 07, and the oblong soft iron 09. This electromagnetic force drives the counterweight 10 to rotate around the rotor axis to a set angle, with the ultra-thin bearing 12 guiding the rotational trajectory. The oblong magnet 08 and the side excitation ring 07 are magnetically coupled, achieving circumferential self-locking of the counterweight 10. The position Hall effect sensor 20 provides real-time feedback on the actual position of the counterweight 10 to the host computer. The system compares the deviation between the target and actual positions. If the error exceeds a set threshold, a secondary balancing adjustment is triggered.

[0034] Its overall structure is as follows Figure 2The system includes a signal acquisition and analysis module, an automatic balancing state monitoring and control module, and an automatic balancing actuator. The signal acquisition and analysis module monitors and collects the raw vibration signals of the inner and outer rotors in real time, decouples the coupled vibration signals based on an algorithm, and transmits the processed vibration monitoring information to the automatic balancing state monitoring and control module. The automatic balancing state monitoring and control module receives the vibration monitoring information output by the signal acquisition and analysis module and, after calculation, outputs a drive control instruction containing the counterweight displacement direction and step size to the automatic balancing actuator. The inner rotor automatic balancing actuator has a follower bearing support at the inner end of the stationary ring. The outer rotor automatic balancing actuator has a small bearing assembly 25 arranged in an annular pattern between the moving and stationary rings.

Use set bolts to lock the four connecting plates in series.

[0038] Installation steps for the stationary ring: First, prepare the coil bracket: Wind an enameled copper coil (06) with a wire diameter of 0.8mm and 250±5 turns around the drive coil bracket (05), impregnating it with high-temperature resistant insulating varnish. Install the speed Hall effect sensor (21) and position Hall effect sensor (20) on the bracket end face, setting the sensor air gap (δ0) to 1.0±0.1mm. Next, assemble the stationary ring: Fasten the two sets of coil brackets (05) together using the inner / outer rotor coil bracket connectors (04a / b). Connect the stationary ring bracket (28) to the drive coil bracket (05) using a transition fit.
