Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aero-engine fault testing technology, and in particular to an acoustic diagnostic method, system, medium, and equipment for aero-engine fan blade cornering fault. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the aviation industry, the reliability and safety of aircraft engines have become crucial factors that cannot be ignored in air transport. In recent years, the damage caused by bird strikes to aircraft engines has increasingly attracted widespread attention. Bird strikes refer to the phenomenon of birds colliding with aircraft engines during flight, which not only threatens flight safety but can also lead to serious structural damage and economic losses. In bird strike accidents, damage to engine blades, especially fan blades, is particularly prominent, with blade chipping being a common form of damage.
[0003] Fan blades are critical components in aero engines that come into direct contact with airflow. Their design and manufacturing quality directly affect the engine's performance, efficiency, and safety. When a bird strike occurs, the impact force of the bird acts instantly on the blade surface, causing material to fracture or detach from the blade's edge, resulting in a so-called "angle breakage" failure. Angle breakage not only alters the blade's aerodynamic shape, affecting the engine's aerodynamic efficiency, but can also lead to blade imbalance, causing vibration and noise problems, and in severe cases, even engine failure.
[0004] For engine blade deflection caused by bird strikes, accurate identification and analysis of fault characteristics are crucial for the maintenance and repair of aero engines. Traditional fault detection methods mainly rely on visual inspection, non-destructive testing techniques, and vibration analysis; however, these methods often have limitations when dealing with complex blade deflection faults.
[0005] The information disclosed in the background section is only for enhancing the understanding of the background of this invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides an acoustic diagnostic method, system, medium, and device for blade cornering faults in aero-engine fans. It employs a uniformly arranged ring acoustic array to measure acoustic signals, achieving time-domain-frequency-wavenumber domain conversion of the acoustic field signal. This fully extracts the acoustic signal fault characteristics when blade cornering faults occur, resulting in a more effective blade cornering detection index, acoustic pattern map, which identifies the acoustic signal fault characteristics in blade cornering faults.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an acoustic diagnostic method for aero-engine fan blade angle-drop faults includes:
[0008] In the first step, the microphone array layout is determined using the fan model parameters of the aero-engine, based on the number of fan rotor blades. With the number of stator blades Calculate the static-to-static interference mode order of fan single-tone noise Based on the order of the static interference mode The maximum modal order determines the acoustic modal monitoring range and the number of microphones. and the circumferential mounting angle of the microphone ;
[0009] In the second step, through the number of microphones and the installation angle of the microphone Construct a microphone array; synchronously acquire the multi-channel sound pressure time-domain signals of the aero-engine fan using the microphone array; construct a time-domain signal matrix by arranging the multi-channel sound pressure time-domain signals in sequence;
[0010] In the third step, the fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to transform the time domain signal matrix into the frequency domain signal matrix to obtain the spectrum of each channel. The spectrum is monitored to see if there are any abnormal single-tone frequency peaks other than the blade passing frequency. If there are none, it means that the fan is in normal working condition. If there are, proceed to the fourth step.
[0011] In the fourth step, the acoustic modal spectrum of the abnormal single-tone frequency peak is obtained by the single-frequency acoustic modal decomposition method. By monitoring whether the blade cornering fault feature with a frequency component of 1 times the rotational frequency and an acoustic modal order of 1 appears in the acoustic modal spectrum, it is determined whether the fan has a blade cornering fault under subsonic or supersonic conditions.
[0012] The acoustic diagnostic method for aero-engine fan blade angle loss fault also includes,

The horizontal axis of the spectrum represents the frequency analysis range, and the vertical axis represents the acoustic mode monitoring range. The depth of the color represents the amplitude; the darker the color, the larger the amplitude. When the fan is operating under subsonic conditions and exhibits blade corner-dropping fault characteristics, the main components of the spectrum are single-tone components such as blade passage frequency and rotational frequency, along with broadband noise components. In the wavenumber domain, the dominant mode order of the rotational frequency sound source is 1. When the fan is operating under supersonic conditions and exhibits blade corner-dropping fault characteristics, the main components of the spectrum are blade passage frequency and rotational frequency components. The broadband noise disappears, and harmonics and modulation frequencies that are integer multiples of the rotational frequency appear. In the wavenumber domain, abnormal rotational frequency sound sources and harmonic and modulation phenomena are observed on the spectrum.

The sound pressure signals were analyzed to obtain the spectrum of each channel; abnormal single-frequency acoustic mode spectra were obtained through single-frequency acoustic mode decomposition; and the array signal spectrum was obtained through continuous broadband acoustic mode decomposition. By monitoring the frequency domain characteristics and circumferential mode characteristics in the fan spectrum, acoustic mode spectrum, and wave spectrum, it was observed whether abnormal frequency peaks appeared in the spectrum other than the blade passage frequency, and whether acoustic mode components with a modal order of 1 or a large number of rotational harmonic components appeared in the acoustic mode spectrum and wave spectrum. These characteristics were defined as the acoustic signature characteristics for diagnosing fan blade corner-drop faults, and based on this, it was determined whether a corner-drop fault occurred when the fan blade was impacted by a foreign object.

The method calculates the order of the switching-to-stationary interference mode in the single-tone noise of the aero-engine using a fan model. Based on the maximum order of the mode of interest, it determines the acoustic mode monitoring range, the number of microphones, the axial mounting position, and the circumferential mounting angle. A time-domain signal matrix is constructed from the acoustic signals measured by sensors at different circumferential mounting angles. The frequency domain signal matrix obtained by performing a fast Fourier transform on the time-domain signal matrix. The system outputs a spectrum diagram. Under subsonic conditions, it observes whether 1st rotation frequency and broadband noise appear; under supersonic conditions, it observes whether numerous harmonics and modulation phenomena appear. A transformation matrix is constructed based on the characteristics of acoustic mode propagation. Based on the constructed transformation matrix, the acoustic mode spectrum of the peak frequency at 1x RPM is obtained through single-frequency acoustic mode decomposition, and the order of the dominant mode is observed to be 1. The spectrum of the array signal is obtained through continuous broadband acoustic mode decomposition. Under subsonic conditions, it is observed whether there are anomalous sound source terms with a dominant mode order of 1x RPM. Under supersonic conditions, it is observed whether there are a large number of anomalous RPM harmonic sound source terms. The specific steps are as follows:
