Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a frequency calculation method for a vibration sensor support of an aero-engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Whole machine vibration performance is an important indicator for measuring the working state of an aero-engine. Usually, multiple vibration sensors are arranged at engine force casing sections to monitor the vibration of key components such as the whole engine, rotor components, stator components, bearings and the like. Due to the extremely complex structure of the engine, which is composed of multiple components such as rotors and stators, multiple frequencies of vibration are generated during operation, which is a great test for whole machine vibration testing. In order to avoid the influence of resonance of the vibration sensor support due to its natural frequency on the whole machine vibration test during the whole engine speed process, the vibration sensor support frequency needs to be accurately calculated during the vibration sensor support structure design to ensure that the natural frequency does not affect the test results. Therefore, the factors affecting the vibration sensor support frequency need to be considered comprehensively, and the vibration sensor support frequency calculation method needs to be strictly regulated to guide the vibration sensor support structure design and avoid the distortion of vibration test and false alarm events caused by the vibration sensor support design problems.

[0003] Part of the theoretical and experimental research on the vibration sensor support frequency calculation is carried out, but there is still a lack of evaluation method research on the accurate calculation of the vibration sensor support frequency, which is obviously not conducive to the vibration sensor support design and vibration test.

[0004] For the engine whole machine vibration testing system, the vibration sensor is fixed on the engine through the vibration sensor support. Due to the influence of the mass of the vibration sensor, the vibration sensor support participates in vibration, the natural frequency of the combination body decreases accordingly, and with the gradual approach of the mass of the vibration sensor and the mass of the vibration sensor support, even exceeding the mass of the vibration sensor support, the natural frequency of the combination body will decrease exponentially. At the same time, due to the influence of the mass of the vibration sensor, the center of mass of the combination body is raised or changed in other ways, and when the vibration sensor is not a completely symmetrical structure, different installation directions will produce different center of mass positions, and multiple factors will affect the natural frequency of the combination body to different degrees. The existing calculation process and method do not consider the influence of the vibration sensor parameters, and there is no accurate and reliable method for frequency calculation, which leads to inaccurate vibration sensor support frequency calculation, which cannot effectively guide the vibration sensor support design, and is not conducive to the engine vibration test and fault diagnosis. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a vibration sensor support frequency calculation method for an aero-engine, comprising:

[0006] Step 1: Obtain the mass m of the vibration sensor support z and the mass m of the vibration sensor c ;

[0007] Step 2: Calculate the mass change rate λ of the vibration sensor support and the vibration sensor;

[0008] When the mass change rate λ is less than or equal to a set threshold value, ignore the mass of the vibration sensor and only calculate the natural frequency of the vibration sensor support;

[0009] When the mass change rate λ is greater than the set threshold value, then perform Step 3;

[0010] Step 3: Determine the symmetry of the vibration sensor structure:

[0011] If the vibration sensor is a completely symmetric structure, then a simplified parameter model of a single vibration sensor is established, including the mass m c and the center of mass position of the vibration sensor

[0012] If the vibration sensor is a non-completely symmetric structure, then a simplified parameter model of the vibration sensor is established for all possible installation directions, and each model includes the mass m c and the center of mass position of the vibration sensor in the corresponding installation direction;

[0013] Step 4: Establish a three-dimensional analysis model of the vibration sensor support and set boundary conditions;

[0014] Step 5: Couple the simplified parameter model of Step 3 with the three-dimensional analysis model of the vibration sensor support to form an overall calculation model;

[0015] Step 6: Calculate the natural frequency of the overall calculation model;

[0016] Step 7: Ensure that the natural frequency of the vibration sensor support or the natural frequency of the overall calculation model does not fall within the excitation frequency range within the engine operating speed range. Preferably, the determination of the non-completely symmetric structure in Step 3 is based on the fact that the line connecting the center of mass of the vibration sensor and the centroid of the installation surface is not parallel to the vertical line.

[0017] Preferably, the boundary conditions in Step 4 are set according to the actual fixed position and manner of the vibration sensor support on the aero-engine.

[0018] Preferably, the calculation formula of the mass change rate λ is:

[0019] λ = m c / m z × 100%.

[0020] Preferably, the set threshold value is 9.3%.

[0021] The application considers the geometric features of the vibration sensor, i.e. whether it is a completely symmetrical structure, the installation direction, identifies the mass center position of the vibration sensor, establishes one or more simplified parameter models of the vibration sensor including the mass and the mass center position, establishes a coupling relationship between the simplified parameter model and a three-dimensional analysis model of the vibration sensor support, carries out frequency calculation and analysis of the vibration sensor support under different conditions, and obtains comprehensive and accurate frequency calculation results of the vibration sensor support.

The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , the application provides a frequency calculation method of a vibration sensor support of an aero-engine, comprising:

[0025] Step 1: obtaining the mass m z of the vibration sensor support and the mass m c of the vibration sensor;

[0026] Step 2: calculating the mass variation rate λ of the vibration sensor support and the vibration sensor;

[0027] When the mass variation rate λ is less than or equal to a set threshold value, the influence of the vibration sensor mass is ignored, and only the natural frequency of the vibration sensor support is calculated;

[0028] When the mass variation rate λ is greater than the set threshold value, step 3 is performed;

[0029] Step 3: judging the symmetry of the vibration sensor structure: the judgment basis for the non-completely symmetrical structure is that the connecting line between the mass center of the vibration sensor and the shape center of the installation surface is not parallel to the plumb line.

[0030] If the vibration sensor is a fully symmetrical structure, a single vibration sensor simplified parameter model is established, including the vibration sensor mass m c and the center of mass position;

[0031] If the vibration sensor is a non-fully symmetrical structure, a vibration sensor simplified parameter model is established for all possible installation directions, and each model includes the vibration sensor mass m c and the center of mass position under the corresponding installation direction;

[0037] Preferably, the calculation formula of the mass variation rate λ is:

[0038] λ=m c / m z ×100%.

[0039] Preferably, the set threshold value is 9.3%.

[0049] (5)

[0050] After considering the influence of the vibration sensor mass, the rate of change of the natural frequency of the vibration sensor support and the vibration sensor combination Should not be higher than 5%, then when the rate of change of mass Higher than 9.3%, the influence of the sensor mass on the calculation of the natural frequency of the vibration sensor support cannot be ignored.

[0051] The present application is aimed at the present situation that there is a lack of systematic and accurate vibration sensor support frequency calculation method and process in the design process of engine vibration sensor support.
