Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a free piston Stirling generator, and more particularly to a free piston Stirling generator with a coaxial debugging device and a debugging method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As an efficient thermal-electric conversion device, the Stirling generator is widely used in spacecraft power systems, military equipment, industrial waste heat recovery and other fields due to its high reliability, low noise and adaptability to various heat sources (such as solar energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, etc.). Its core performance depends on the precise coaxial movement of the power piston and the gas distribution piston in the cylinder. Any minor assembly deviation will lead to increased frictional losses, seal failure and efficiency reduction, and in severe cases, even mechanical jamming. The gaps between the power piston and the gas distribution piston and the cylinder are usually dozens of micrometers or even a few micrometers, making the assembly difficult.
[0003] Currently, the assembly and debugging of traditional Stirling generators generally adopt a combination of mechanical positioning and manual adjustment: the cylinder and the support frame are fixed by welding or bolts, the end face runout value of the piston is measured by a dial indicator, and rough coaxial correction is achieved by tapping with a copper rod or adjusting with gaskets. However, limited by the rigid constraints of the mechanical structure and the dependence on manual experience, it cannot dynamically compensate for minor deviations after assembly and debugging, resulting in the following problems: (1) extremely high requirements for the machining accuracy of parts, and a high assembly failure rate, increasing production costs. (2) Manual calibration takes a long time, lacks real-time feedback means, and it is difficult to quickly judge whether the coaxiality meets the standard; moreover, the debugging process depends on imported high-precision laser alignment instruments, resulting in high debugging costs. Specifically, to ensure the coaxiality of the piston and the cylinder, ultra-high-precision machine tools are required to machine parts, resulting in high manufacturing costs and difficult-to-fully-eliminate machining errors, and the assembly failure rate remains high; the manual calibration process depends on experienced technicians to achieve rough positioning by tapping or adjusting gaskets, which takes up to several hours, and lacks a real-time feedback mechanism, unable to quickly verify whether the coaxiality meets the standard. The debugging process also depends on imported high-precision laser alignment instruments, further driving up the equipment investment and usage costs. In addition, the existing process relies on off-line detection or manual visual inspection, and cannot monitor the friction state in real time during the assembly and debugging process. The quality of assembly and debugging highly depends on the skill level of the operator, and the consistency is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0010] A debugging method for a free piston Stirling generator with a coaxial debugging device includes the following steps: Step S1: Adjust the N power piston plate spring fixing screws at intervals to a specific tightness; Step S2: Excite the mover of the first linear motor to make the power piston vibrate up and down; Step S3: Adjust the power piston plate spring adjusting screw to make the power piston plate spring move slightly laterally; Step S4: Use the remaining N power piston plate springs to completely fix the power piston plate spring; Step S5: Adjust the N gas distribution piston plate spring fixing screws at intervals to a specific tightness; Step S6: Actuate the mover of the second linear motor to vibrate the gas distribution piston up and down; Step S7: Adjust the spring adjusting screw of the gas distribution piston plate to cause a slight lateral movement of the spring of the gas distribution piston plate; Step S8: Use the remaining N gas distribution piston plate springs to completely fix the gas distribution piston plate spring.
[0011] Furthermore, the specific tightness in Step S1 means that when the power piston vibrates up and down, the spring of the power piston plate remains fixed, and when adjusting the spring adjusting screw of the power piston plate, the spring of the power piston plate can produce a lateral movement; the specific tightness in Step S5 means that when the gas distribution piston vibrates up and down, the spring of the gas distribution piston plate remains fixed, and when adjusting the spring adjusting screw of the gas distribution piston plate, the spring of the gas distribution piston plate can produce a lateral movement.
[0012] Furthermore, in Step S3, the specific method is as follows: First, adjust a set of spring adjusting screws of the power piston plate on the same axis. Push the spring of the power piston plate back and forth along the axis to drive the slight movement of the power piston. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate of the acceleration waveform of the power piston < 10%, adjust another set of spring adjusting screws of the power piston plate on the same axis. Push the spring of the power piston plate back and forth along the axis to cause the slight movement of the spring of the power piston plate. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate of the acceleration waveform of the power piston < 1%, stop the adjustment.
[0013] Furthermore, in Step S6, the specific method is as follows: First, adjust a set of spring adjusting screws of the gas distribution piston plate on the same axis.

Push the spring of the gas distribution piston plate back and forth along the axis to cause the slight movement of the spring of the gas distribution piston plate. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate of the acceleration waveform of the gas distribution piston < 1%, stop the adjustment.
[0014] Furthermore, the complete fixation in Step S4 means that when adjusting the spring adjusting screw of the power piston plate, the spring of the power piston plate cannot produce a lateral movement; the complete fixation in Step S8 means that when adjusting the spring adjusting screw of the gas distribution piston plate, the spring of the gas distribution piston plate cannot produce a lateral movement.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: In view of the problems in the existing assembly and commissioning process of Stirling generators, such as relying on high-precision machining, insufficient adjustment flexibility, and lack of real-time calibration means, the present invention proposes a coaxial commissioning device and a commissioning method for a free-piston Stirling generator. Through the leaf spring adjustment device (the power piston leaf spring adjustment device and the gas distribution piston leaf spring adjustment device), the dynamic balance of lateral displacement compensation and vertical direction rigid constraint during the assembly process is realized, replacing the traditional fixed limit structure. Through the pre-tightening force balance design of the leaf spring adjustment device, combined with double electromagnetic drive and real-time monitoring of the acceleration waveform, the axis deviation between the piston and the cylinder can be dynamically compensated during the commissioning process, realizing frictionless coaxial commissioning. This method significantly reduces the dependence on the machining accuracy of parts, improves the commissioning efficiency, and at the same time, through the elastic constraint and real-time feedback mechanism, ensures the stability and long life of the generator during operation.

[0031] The debugging method of the free piston Stirling generator in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S1: Adjust six power piston plate spring fixing screws at intervals to a specific tightness. The specific tightness means that when the power piston 3 vibrates up and down, the power piston plate spring 8 remains fixed, and when adjusting the power piston plate spring adjusting screw, the power piston plate spring 8 can move horizontally. In this embodiment, the specific tightness is specifically reflected as: adjusting six power piston plate spring fixing screws at intervals, and the height of the power piston plate spring adjusting rubber ring under extrusion becomes half of the initial value.
[0032] Step S2: Use the alternating current generated by the AC power supply to excite the first linear motor mover 6 to make the power piston 3 vibrate up and down; Step S3: Adjust the power piston plate spring adjusting screw to make the power piston plate spring 8 move slightly horizontally. The specific method is: first adjust a set of power piston plate spring adjusting screws on the same axis. Push the power piston plate spring 8 back and forth in the axial direction to drive the power piston 3 to move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate (THD) of the power piston acceleration waveform < 10%, adjust another set of power piston plate spring adjusting screws on the same axis. Push the power piston plate spring 8 back and forth in the axial direction to make the power piston plate spring 8 move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate (THD) of the power piston acceleration waveform < 1%, stop the adjustment; Step S4: Use the remaining 6 power piston plate springs to completely fix the power piston plate spring 8. By "completely fix", it means that when adjusting the power piston plate spring adjusting screw, the power piston plate spring 8 cannot move laterally. Step S5: Adjust the 6 spaced valve piston plate spring fixing screws to a specific tightness. By "specific tightness", it means that when the valve piston 1 vibrates up and down, the valve piston plate spring 7 remains fixed, and when adjusting the valve piston plate spring adjusting screw, the valve piston plate spring 7 can move laterally. In this embodiment, the specific tightness is specifically embodied as follows: Adjust the 6 spaced valve piston plate spring fixing screws, and the height of the valve piston plate spring adjusting rubber ring being squeezed becomes half of the initial value.
[0033] Step S6: Use the alternating current generated by the AC power supply to excite the second linear motor mover 14 to make the valve piston 1 vibrate up and down. Step S7: Adjust the valve piston plate spring adjusting screw to make the valve piston plate spring 7 move slightly laterally; refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 in which the arrow indicates the slight movement. The specific method is as follows: First, adjust a set of valve piston plate spring adjusting screws on the same axis. Push the valve piston plate spring 7 back and forth in the axial direction to drive the valve piston 1 to move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate (THD) of the valve piston acceleration waveform < 10%, adjust another set of valve piston plate spring adjusting screws on the same axis. Push the valve piston plate spring 7 back and forth in the axial direction to make the valve piston plate spring 7 move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the distortion rate (THD) of the valve piston acceleration waveform < 1%, stop the adjustment. Step S8: Use the remaining 6 valve piston plate springs to completely fix the valve piston plate spring 7. By "completely fix", it means that when adjusting the valve piston plate spring adjusting screw, the valve piston plate spring 7 cannot move laterally.
[0034] Before debugging, the waveform of the valve piston acceleration sensor of the free piston Stirling generator is as shown in Figure 7 ; after debugging, the waveform of the valve piston acceleration sensor of the free piston Stirling generator is as shown in Figure 8 . At the specific tightness, the leaf spring fixing screw provides sufficient pre-tightening force to fix the vertical direction, so that the leaf spring remains fixed when the piston vibrates up and down; and due to the existence of the rubber ring, it provides compression resistance (enhanced constraint) in the vertical direction, while allowing shear deformation in the lateral direction. Its elastic characteristics can absorb vibration and reduce the frictional resistance of lateral movement, further promoting the lateral freedom. Therefore, when adjusting the leaf spring adjusting screw, the leaf spring adjusting screw makes a small movement, enabling the leaf spring to perform high-precision lateral movement.
[0035] Figure 1 The figure shows the placement state during the debugging of the free-piston Stirling generator. When in use, Figure 1 invert the shown placement state. After the debugging of the free-piston Stirling generator is completed, disconnect the oscilloscope, remove the second bracket 15 and the second linear motor, install the outer shell, and use the free-piston Stirling generator normally.
[0036] Through the cooperation of the leaf spring adjusting screw, the leaf spring fixing screw and the rubber ring, the present invention realizes dynamic fine adjustment, without relying on high-precision machining or complex tooling, significantly reducing the assembly difficulty and cost. Through the lateral fine adjustment of the leaf spring adjusting screw and the real-time monitoring of the acceleration sensor waveform, the high-precision coaxial assembly of the power piston and the gas distribution piston is realized, avoiding the errors of traditional manual calibration and ensuring frictionless operation after assembly. Based on the real-time feedback mechanism of the acceleration waveform characteristics, the assembly time of the Stirling generator is greatly shortened, and the assembly consistency is significantly improved. The closed-loop control with dual linear motor drive and dual acceleration sensor real-time feedback is adopted to replace the single sensor or off-line detection method, significantly improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency.
