Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine assembly, and particularly to an engine simulation assembly detection device and a usage method thereof. Background Art
[0002] For certain models of engines during the overall assembly of an aircraft, the intake and exhaust ducts of the engine need to be first installed on the aircraft fuselage and then docked with the engine body. Due to tolerance accumulation and assembly effects, the engine may be non - coaxial with the intake and exhaust ducts, resulting in the engine being unable to be connected to the intake, exhaust ducts and pipes on the aircraft.
[0003] To solve this problem, a set of devices is required to conduct factory inspections on the engine to determine whether the intake and exhaust edges and certain pipe interfaces of the engine meet the design requirements. However, since the engine reference is located at the main mounting node, auxiliary mounting node and two lifting lugs, the reference plane is very small, and it is impossible to use the reference plane for positioning in the traditional way and detect the holes on the intake and exhaust edges with position pins. Therefore, a scanning detection method is considered to scan the engine, and the generated physical features are then compared with the theoretical model to find the deviations. If the engine is placed on a transport vehicle and directly scanned with a scanner, because the engine is hung on the aircraft and is affected by its weight, and placing it on the transport vehicle ignores the weight effect, the output result will be untrue. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode
[0071] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0072] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0073] A rigid entity reflecting the connection between the aircraft pylon and the engine mounting section is embodied using a 1:1 real size, and a connecting piece with the same fitting accuracy as that of the aircraft is used to connect the engine. The reference of the engine is converted to the detection device for scanning use.
[0074] As Figure 1 shown, an engine simulation assembly detection device includes a support frame 1 and a lifting frame 2. The lifting frame 2 is fixed to the support frame 1.
[0075] As Figure 2 shown, the support frame 1 includes a frame 101, columns 102, universal wheels 103, directional wheels 104, and adjustable supports 105.
[0076] Both the universal wheels 103 and the directional wheels 104 are fixed to the bottom of the frame 101, the columns 102 are arranged above the frame 101, and the adjustable supports 105 pass through the frame 101 in the vertical direction.
[0077] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the lifting frame 2 includes a main beam 201, an engine fixing and detecting assembly, a positioning assembly, and a sling fixing assembly.
[0078] The engine fixing and detecting assembly is arranged below the main beam 201, the engine is fixed to the lifting frame 2 through the engine fixing and detecting assembly, and the engine fixing and detecting assembly is used to fix the engine and judge whether the position of the intake pipeline is qualified.
[0079] The positioning assembly includes a plurality of sub-reference planes 212, and the sub-reference planes 212 are all arranged on the lifting frame 2. The positioning assembly is used to construct a measurement rectangular coordinate system corresponding to the engine simulation assembly detection device.
[0080] As Figure 3As shown, the sling fixing component is arranged on the top of the main beam 201 and is used to fix the lifting frame 2 and the overhead crane sling. The sling fixing component includes a backing plate 207, a lifting lug 202 and an anti-rotation pin 203. The backing plate 207, the lifting lug 202 and the anti-rotation pin 203 are all arranged on the top of the lifting frame 2.
[0081] When moving the lifting frame 2, place the overhead crane sling on the backing plate 207, connect the lifting lug 202 to the pin device of the overhead crane sling, and insert the anti-rotation pin 203 into the positioning device of the overhead crane sling.
[0082] The engine fixing and detecting component includes a front mounting seat 204, a rear mounting seat 205, a positioning pin 206, a plug pin 209, a first pin shaft 210, a second pin shaft 211, a measuring pin 213, a bracket 208 and a pull rod 214.
[0083] The front mounting seat 204 and the rear mounting seat 205 are fixedly arranged at intervals under the main beam 201. The pull rod 214 and the positioning pin 206 are fixed under the front mounting seat 204, and the first pin shaft 210 is arranged on the pull rod 214. The plug pin 209 is fixed under the main beam 201. As Figure 4 shown, when the lifting frame 2 is fixed to the support frame 1, the plug pin 209 is inserted into the main beam 201 of the support frame 1. The second pin shaft 211 and the measuring pin 213 are both arranged on the rear mounting seat 205. The bracket 208 is fixed on the main beam 201 in the vertical direction.
[0084] As Figure 5 shown, the sub-reference plane 212 includes 3 sub-reference planes 212 arranged in the vertical direction of the lifting frame 2 and 3 sub-reference planes 212 arranged in the horizontal direction of the lifting frame 2.
[0085] The vertical sub-reference plane 212 forms the vertical plane of the measuring rectangular coordinate system, the horizontal sub-reference plane 212 forms the horizontal plane of the measuring rectangular coordinate system, and the center of one vertical sub-reference plane 212 is used as the origin of the measuring rectangular coordinate system.
[0086] The main beam 201 is one or a combination of a single beam, a frame and a double beam. The material and size of the main beam 201 are determined according to the simulation verification test. In the simulation verification test, the standard for the main beam 201 to be qualified is that the deformation difference in each direction of the sub-reference plane 212 in the measuring rectangular coordinate system is less than 0.01 mm.
[0087] Three structures (single beam, frame, double beam) of the main beam 201 are selected for comparison. Under the condition of selecting the same material and applying the same force, the specific results are as follows:
[0088] The single beam structure has a beam height of 300 mm and a beam width of 190 mm, is welded with a 20-mm-thick plate, has internal stiffeners, and the total deformation is as Figure 6 shown.
[0089] The beam of the frame structure has a height of 300 mm and a width of 190 mm, and is welded with 20-mm-thick plates, with reinforcing ribs inside. The total deformation is as Figure 7 shown.
[0090] The double-beam structure has a height of 300 mm and a width of 190 mm, and is welded with 20-mm-thick plates, with reinforcing ribs inside. The total deformation is as Figure 8 shown.
[0091] By comparing the single beam, the frame and the double beam through Table 1, it is found that the deformations of the three are basically the same, and the deformation problem cannot be solved. At the same time, the frame and the double beam have additional beams that affect the on-site scanning operation. Therefore, the single-beam structure can be selected as the optimal solution.
[0092] Table 1 Total deformation of the three structures
[0093] Structure Name Beam Height (mm) Beam Width (mm) Structure Composition Total Deformation (mm) Single Beam 300 190 Welded from 20-mm-thick plates 0.167 Frame 300 190 Welded from 20-mm-thick plates 0.178 Double Beam 300 190 Welded from 20-mm-thick plates 0.181
[0094] Optimization comparison process of the single-beam structure:
[0095] Taking the height of the beam, the width of the beam, and the thickness of the middle plate of the beam as variables respectively, the same material is selected and the same force is applied for comparison.
[0096] I. Change in beam height.
[0097] Type 1: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X (700) middle beam X 600 (side beams), total deformation as Figure 9 shown.
[0098] Type 2: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as Figure 10 shown.
[0099] Type 3: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X (500) middle beam X 400 (side beams), total deformation as Figure 11 shown.
[0100] It is found through Table 2 that when the main beam is 500 high and the side beams are 400 high, the deformation is too large; when the main beam is 700 high and the side beams are 600 high, the effect is better, but it is too bulky. Finally, the main beam with a height of 600 and the side beam with a height of 500 are selected.
[0101] Table 2 Influence of beam height change on deformation
[0102] Serial Number Height of Middle Beam (mm) Height of Side Beams (mm) Total Deformation (mm) 1 700 600 0.054 2 600 500 0.066 3 500 400 0.089
[0103] II. Change in beam width.
[0104] Type 1: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 300 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 12 shown.
[0105] Type 2: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 13 shown.
[0106] Type 3: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 500 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 14 shown.
[0107] It is found from Table 3 that the deformation of the beam width of 300 is relatively large, and the change in the deformation amount when the width is changed from 400 to 500 has little effect. The selected beam width is 400.
[0108] Table 3 Influence of beam width change on deformation
[0109]
[0110]
[0111] III. Change in the thickness of the middle plate
[0112] Type 1: 30 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 15 shown.
[0113] Type 2: 40 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 16 shown.
[0114] Type 3: 50 (middle plate) X 20 (other plates) X 400 (beam width) X 600 (middle beam) X 500 (side beams), total deformation as shown in Figure 17 shown.
[0115] It is found from Table 4 that when the thickness of the middle plate of the beam is changed from 40 to 50, the change in the deformation amount of the thickness has little effect. The selected thickness of the middle plate is 40. It is found through the comparison of the three that the higher the height of the beam, the smaller the deformation amount. After the beam width and the thickness of the middle plate are increased by a certain number, the influence on the deformation is relatively small.

[0117] Serial Number Thickness of Middle Plate (mm) Total Deformation (mm) 1 30 0.0742 2 40 0.0668 3 50 0.0625
[0118] The selection of the final lifting tool is as follows: the main beam is 600 in height and 400 in width; the side beam of the main beam is 500 in height and 400 in width. The thickness of the plate between the main beam and the side beam is 40. The thickness of the remaining plates is 20mm. The material is selected as 42CrMo welded together.
[0119] In the overall force analysis, the height of the main beam 201 is set to be between 590 and 610, and the width of the main beam 201 is between 390 and 410. The material of the lifting frame 2 is 42CrMo steel. Among them, the density of the material is 7850 KG / M3, the Poisson's ratio of the material is 0.28, and the Young's modulus of the material is 212 GPa. The material of the support frame 1 is carbon structural steel. Among them, the density of the material is 7860 KG / M3, the Poisson's ratio of the material is 0.288, and the Young's modulus of the material is 212 GPa. As Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 shown, the deformation differences of the 6 small reference planes in all directions are within the range of 0.01, and the deformations are basically the same.

[0139] Beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention:
[0140] The aviation engine assembly inspection device according to the embodiment of the present invention embodies a rigid entity connecting the aircraft pylon and the engine mounting section in a 1:1 real size, and connects the engine with connectors having the same mating accuracy as the aircraft. The whole device is designed into two parts. The upper part is a hoisting rack for hoisting the engine, and the lower part is a support rack for placing the hoisting rack and the engine. The device has the functions of hoisting the engine and providing a reference for inspecting and adjusting the coaxiality of the engine intake and exhaust. The sub-reference plane is arranged on the hoisting rack to ensure that the measurement reference for each engine is consistent; after the device bears the weight of the engine of several tons, the reference deformation amount meets the measurement accuracy requirements; the settings of the reference in the three directions of the length, width and height of the engine meet the envelope requirements. The device can be transferred among various workshops. The engine is heavy. When hoisting, to prevent the center of gravity from being uneven, there are two lifting points designed on the hoisting rack, and the center of gravity of the hoisting rack and the engine is calculated to coincide, and then two positioning shafts are used to prevent the engine from flipping with the hoisting rack. A position measuring pin for the engine intake pipe is designed at the rear of the device for easy inspection and adjustment.
[0141] The measurement rectangular coordinate system constituted by the reference (sub-reference plane) is used as the reference coordinate system. When bearing the weight of the engine, the deformation amount plus the accuracy error of the measurement system, the system error of the whole system meets 1 / 3 - 1 / 5 of the measurement tolerance. The reference (sub-reference plane) is arranged on the hoisting rack, and the connection method with each engine is the same, which can ensure that the reference is the same when measuring each engine. The six reference points can meet the requirements for establishing a measurement rectangular coordinate system by a tracking three-dimensional scanner, and their positions can be scanned; after the main beam of the hoisting rack is simulated and verified through a simulation verification test, the size of the hoisting rack is determined to ensure that the hoisting rack has sufficient strength. After the hoisting rack suspends the engine, the deformation difference of the six reference points in each direction is within the range of 0.01, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement reference. At the same time, the settings of the reference (sub-reference plane) in the three directions of the length, width and height of the engine meet the envelope requirements; the connection parameters of the engine simulation assembly inspection device according to the embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the aircraft pylon, which can truly simulate the assembly state of the engine on the aircraft. Both the hoisting rack and the support rack adopt a frame structure, having enough space for the scanner to scan and measure features, and the measured elements can be scanned without being blocked.
[0142] As mentioned above, the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the invention implementation cannot be limited by them. Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components, or equivalent changes and modifications made according to the protection scope of the present invention patent, should still fall within the scope covered by this patent. In addition, the technical features in the present invention can be freely combined with each other between technical features, between technical features and technical solutions, and between technical solutions.
