Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical structure strength enhancement, and in particular relates to a method for enhancing the structural strength of an aero-engine heat shield bracket. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft engine heat shield bracket is a key component of the diffuser and afterburner. It is riveted to the heat shield and then secured to the outer walls of the diffuser and afterburner using bolts and self-locking nuts, forming a cooling channel. Heat shield brackets are typically constructed from a nickel-based high-temperature alloy strengthened with tungsten and molybdenum solid solution. This alloy exhibits excellent plasticity, high creep strength, and excellent oxidation resistance, as well as stamping and welding properties.

[0003] The principle of aircraft engine component design is mutual coordination and support. The heat shield bracket of an aircraft engine is located at the rear end of the front end of the afterburner cylinder unit. Under high engine temperatures, the thermal expansion of various components varies. The heat shield is a large, thin-walled sheet metal part, and its outer wall is a relatively thick forging. Under full engine afterburner, the heat shield's thermal expansion is much greater than the outer wall, causing the heat shield to expand outward, squeezing and expanding the heat shield bracket. Therefore, the heat shield bracket must have both sufficient strength and flexibility to ensure the normal release of the heat shield's thermal expansion under high temperatures.

[0004] The heat shield bracket needs to withstand thermal load and aerodynamic load during operation. At the same time, due to the large circumferential expansion of the heat shield during operation, the bracket stress load is large, which is prone to cracks, breakage and other problems, increasing the maintenance cost of engine parts. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for enhancing the structural strength of an aircraft engine heat shield bracket, which can locally strengthen the heat shield bracket to improve the overall strength of the heat shield bracket and ensure that the heat shield bracket works reliably.

[0006] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0007] A method for enhancing the structural strength of an aircraft engine heat shield bracket comprises: disposing a reinforcement sheet inside the heat shield bracket; providing bent edges at both ends of the reinforcement sheet; and the two bent edges conform to the shape of the inner walls of the heat shield bracket. The bent edges are spot-welded to the inner wall of the heat shield bracket, and vacuum heat treatment is performed after welding to remove stress.

[0008] Furthermore, in the method for enhancing the structural strength of the aircraft engine heat shield bracket, the thickness of the reinforcement sheet is 1.0 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, in the method for enhancing the structural strength of the aircraft engine heat shield bracket, the vacuum heat treatment process is performed along with the mold to control the deformation amount.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention can locally strengthen the heat insulation screen bracket to improve the overall strength of the heat insulation screen bracket and ensure that the heat insulation screen bracket works reliably.
