Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a free piston Stirling generator, in particular to a free piston Stirling generator with a coaxial debugging device and a debugging method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a highly efficient heat-to-electricity conversion device, the Stirling generator is widely used in spacecraft power systems, military equipment, and industrial waste heat recovery due to its high reliability, low noise, and adaptability to a variety of heat sources (such as solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy, and nuclear energy). Its core performance relies on the precise coaxial motion of the power piston and valve piston within the cylinder. Any slight assembly deviation can lead to friction loss, seal failure, reduced efficiency, and even mechanical seizure in severe cases. The clearances between the power piston and valve piston and the cylinder are typically tens or even several microns, making assembly challenging.
[0003] At present, the traditional Stirling generator assembly and commissioning generally adopts a combination of mechanical positioning and manual adjustment: the cylinder and support frame are fixed by welding or bolting, the piston end face runout value is measured with a dial indicator, and rough coaxial correction is achieved by tapping with a copper rod or adjusting with a gasket. However, due to the rigid constraints of the mechanical structure and the reliance on manual experience, it is impossible to dynamically compensate for small deviations after assembly and commissioning, resulting in the following problems: (1) The requirements for component processing accuracy are extremely high, and the assembly failure rate is high, increasing production costs. (2) Manual calibration is time-consuming and lacks real-time feedback means, making it difficult to quickly determine whether the coaxiality meets the standard; and the commissioning process relies on imported high-precision laser alignment instruments, which has high commissioning costs. Specifically, to ensure the coaxiality of the piston and cylinder, ultra-high-precision machine tools are required to process parts, resulting in high manufacturing costs, difficulty in completely eliminating machining errors, and a high assembly failure rate. The manual calibration process relies on experienced technicians to achieve rough positioning through tapping or shim adjustment, which takes several hours and lacks a real-time feedback mechanism, making it impossible to quickly verify whether the coaxiality meets the standard. The debugging process also requires the use of imported high-precision laser alignment instruments, further increasing equipment investment and operating costs. Furthermore, the existing process relies on offline testing or manual visual inspection, making it impossible to monitor friction conditions in real time during assembly and debugging. The quality of assembly and debugging is highly dependent on the operator's skill level, making consistency difficult to ensure. Summary of the Invention

This method significantly reduces reliance on component machining accuracy and improves commissioning efficiency. Furthermore, through elastic constraints and real-time feedback mechanisms, it ensures the generator's operational stability and longevity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] The debugging method of the free piston Stirling generator of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0041] Step S1: Adjusting the six spaced fixing screws of the power piston leaf springs to a specific tightness. The specific tightness means that when the power piston 3 vibrates up and down, the power piston leaf spring 8 remains stationary, and when the power piston leaf spring adjusting screws are adjusted, the power piston leaf spring 8 can produce lateral movement. In this embodiment, the specific tightness is specifically embodied as follows: adjusting the six spaced fixing screws of the power piston leaf springs so that the extruded height of the power piston leaf spring adjusting rubber ring is reduced to half of the initial height.
[0042] Step S2: The AC power generated by the AC power supply excites the first linear motor mover 6 to make the power piston 3 vibrate up and down;
[0043] Step S3: Adjust the power piston leaf spring adjustment screws to cause the power piston leaf spring 8 to produce slight lateral movement. The specific method is as follows: First, adjust a set of power piston leaf spring adjustment screws on the same axis, pushing the power piston leaf spring 8 forward and backward on that axis to cause slight movement of the power piston 3. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the power piston acceleration waveform distortion rate (THD) is less than 10%, adjust another set of power piston leaf spring adjustment screws on the same axis, pushing the power piston leaf spring 8 forward and backward on that axis to cause slight movement of the power piston leaf spring 8. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the power piston acceleration waveform distortion rate (THD) is less than 1%, stop adjusting.
[0044] Step S4: Use the remaining six power piston leaf springs to completely secure the power piston leaf spring 8. Completely securing means that the power piston leaf spring 8 cannot move laterally when the power piston leaf spring adjusting screw is adjusted.
[0045] Step S5: Adjust the six spaced apart fixing screws of the gas piston leaf springs to a specific tightness. The specific tightness is such that the gas piston leaf spring 7 remains stationary when the gas piston 1 vibrates up and down, and the gas piston leaf spring 7 can move laterally when the gas piston leaf spring adjusting screws are adjusted. In this embodiment, the specific tightness is specifically achieved by adjusting the six spaced apart fixing screws of the gas piston leaf springs until the compressed height of the gas piston leaf spring adjusting rubber ring is reduced to half of its original height.
[0046] Step S6: The AC power generated by the AC power supply excites the second linear motor mover 14 to make the valve piston 1 vibrate up and down;
[0047] Step S7: Adjust the valve piston leaf spring adjusting screw to make the valve piston leaf spring 7 produce a slight lateral movement; Figure 6 , Figure 6 The middle arrow indicates slight movement. The specific method is as follows: First, adjust a set of valve piston leaf spring adjusting screws on the same axis. This axis pushes valve piston leaf spring 7 upward and backward, causing valve piston 1 to move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the valve piston acceleration waveform distortion rate (THD) is less than 10%, adjust another set of valve piston leaf spring adjusting screws on the same axis. This axis pushes valve piston leaf spring 7 upward and backward, causing valve piston leaf spring 7 to move slightly. Observe the oscilloscope waveform during the adjustment process. When the valve piston acceleration waveform distortion rate (THD) is less than 1%, stop adjustment.
[0048] Step S8: Use the remaining six gas distribution piston leaf springs to completely fix the gas distribution piston leaf spring 7. Complete fixation means that when the gas distribution piston leaf spring adjusting screw is adjusted, the gas distribution piston leaf spring 7 cannot move laterally.
[0049] Before debugging, the waveform of the valve piston acceleration sensor of the free piston Stirling generator is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, after debugging is completed, the waveform of the valve piston acceleration sensor of the free piston Stirling generator is as follows Figure 8As shown in the figure. At a specific tightness, the leaf spring fixing screw provides sufficient preload to fix the vertical direction, allowing the leaf spring to remain stationary when the piston vibrates up and down. The presence of the rubber ring provides compression resistance in the vertical direction (enhanced constraint) while allowing shear deformation in the lateral direction. Its elastic properties absorb vibration and reduce the friction resistance of lateral movement, further promoting lateral freedom. Therefore, when the leaf spring adjusting screw is adjusted, the leaf spring adjusting screw produces a small movement, allowing the leaf spring to move laterally with high precision.
[0050] Figure 1 The figure shows the placement of the free piston Stirling generator during commissioning. Figure 1 After the free piston Stirling generator is debugged, the oscilloscope is disconnected, the second bracket 15 and the second linear motor are removed, the housing is installed, and the free piston Stirling generator is used normally.
[0051] The present invention achieves dynamic fine-tuning through the cooperation of the leaf spring adjusting screw with the leaf spring fixing screw and the rubber ring, without relying on high-precision processing or complex tooling, which significantly reduces the difficulty and cost of assembly. Through the lateral fine-tuning of the leaf spring adjusting screw and the real-time monitoring of the acceleration sensor waveform, high-precision coaxial assembly of the power piston and the valve piston is achieved, avoiding the errors of traditional manual calibration and ensuring frictionless operation after assembly. The real-time feedback mechanism based on the acceleration waveform characteristics greatly shortens the assembly time of the Stirling generator and significantly improves the assembly consistency. The closed-loop control of dual linear motor drive and dual acceleration sensor real-time feedback replaces a single sensor or offline detection method, which significantly improves the assembly accuracy and efficiency.
