TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engines, in particular to an aero-engine air system and axial force design technology, and more particularly to a sealing cooling structure and method for adjusting the axial force of an aero-engine rotor. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the heart of an airplane, the working reliability of an aero-engine is of great importance, and the axial force has a direct impact on the working reliability of the aero-engine. In the design process of the aero-engine, the determination of the axial force is in the last link, and this stage faces many challenges.

[0003] On the one hand, there are many and extremely complex factors affecting the axial force. From the parts of the engine, it is difficult to achieve absolute precision in the structure of each part, and deviations will inevitably occur in the manufacturing process. These deviations accumulate and have a chain reaction on multiple key performance indicators of the engine. For example, it may cause a gap between the working efficiency of each part and the design expectation, the pressure ratio of the compressor cannot reach the theoretical calculation value, the expansion ratio of the turbine also has a deviation, and the actual value of the cavity pressure of the air system is inconsistent with the design calculation result.

[0004] On the other hand, due to the existence of the above-mentioned multiple deviations, there is a large deviation between the calculation result of the axial force and the design result. If this deviation cannot be effectively solved, it will directly affect the reliability of the engine and pose a hidden danger to the safe operation of the engine.

[0005] Therefore, under the background of the prior art, the adjustment of the axial force of the aero-engine lacks a systematic method. At present, only partial adjustment can be made after the completion of the whole machine test, which is not only low in efficiency, but also difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of axial force deviation.

[0006] It can be seen that the current axial force design process of the aero-engine rotor still has room for improvement, and should be optimized to improve the efficiency of the axial force adjustment design, improve the accuracy of the design scheme, reduce repeated modification and adjustment, and thus improve the reliability of the design.

[0041] In view of the deficiencies in the design control of the axial force of the rotor structure of the existing aviation engine, the following embodiments optimize and overcome the defects in the existing technology.

[0042] Embodiment 1 As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the present embodiment discloses a sealing cooling structure for adjusting the axial force of an aviation engine rotor, comprising a turbine disc 8, a back baffle 9 arranged on the turbine disc 8, and a low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 arranged opposite to the turbine disc 8, wherein the middle part of the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 is provided with a low-guide front inner support ring 5 and a low-guide rear inner support ring 6, a gas collection cavity B is formed between the low-guide front inner support ring 5 and the low-guide rear inner support ring 6, and a gas supply channel C is formed between the low-guide front inner support ring 5, the back baffle 9, the turbine disc 8, and the low-guide rear inner support ring 6; the back baffle 9 is formed with a labyrinth 13 corresponding to the low-guide front inner support ring 5 and a radial labyrinth 13 gap, when the airflow gathered in the gas collection cavity B reaches a set amount, the airflow enters a rotor cavity D from a low-pressure pre-rotation nozzle 11 of the gas collection cavity B, and simultaneously enters the gas supply channel C from a front pre-rotation hole 12; part of the airflow entering the gas supply channel C is output outward into a disc rear cavity E through the labyrinth 13 gap, and the other part enters the rotor cavity D through a brush seal assembly 7 at the low-guide rear inner support ring 6.

[0043] The sealing cooling structure disclosed in the present embodiment guides the airflow to enter the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 into the gas collection cavity B, and respectively transports it to the rotor cavity D and the gas supply channel C from the gas collection cavity B, the airflow entering the rotor cavity D is used to help the rotor dissipate heat, and the airflow entering the gas supply channel C is then divided into two routes, one route enters the disc rear cavity E to form a positive pressure seal at the labyrinth 13 gap, and the other route enters the rotor cavity D from the brush seal assembly 7 to help the rotor dissipate heat.

[0044] In the sealing cooling structure disclosed in the present embodiment, the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 is a hollow structure, and the airflow passes through the hollow structure.

[0045] In some schemes, the front pre-swirl hole 12 is arranged on the low-guide front inner support ring 5. The function of the front pre-swirl hole 12 is to introduce high-pressure cooling air, accelerate the expansion of the airflow and increase the tangential velocity of the cooling airflow, thereby significantly reducing the total temperature of the airflow felt by the turbine rotor, and at the same time controlling the flow of cold air entering the rear cavity of the high-pressure turbine disk 8. The preferred hole type of the front pre-swirl hole 12 is a circular hole with a diameter of 5 mm, a total of 42 circumferential holes, an angle of 70° between the hole axis and the engine axis, and an inlet fillet or chamfer ≮0.1 mm.

[0046] In some embodiments, the low-pressure pre-swirl nozzle 11 is arranged on the low-guide rear inner support ring 6. The function of the low-pressure pre-swirl nozzle 11 is to introduce high-pressure cooling air, accelerate the expansion of the airflow and increase the tangential speed of the cooling airflow, thereby significantly reducing the total temperature of the airflow felt by the turbine rotor, and at the same time controlling the flow of cold air entering the front cavity of the low-pressure turbine disc 8.

[0047] The rear baffle 9 is used to help form a positive pressure seal against the rear disk cavity E. The grate teeth 13 on the rear baffle 9 are used to match the gap between the grate teeth 13 of the low-guide front inner support ring 5, thereby allowing airflow from the air supply channel C to pass through and form a positive pressure seal. The rear baffle 9 can be constructed in various forms, and its structure is not limited to a single form. This embodiment optimizes and adopts one feasible option: the rear baffle 9 forms a grate tooth 13 plate extending toward the low-guide front inner support ring 5, and the grate tooth 13 plate is formed with a plurality of grate teeth 13. The radial grate tooth 13 gap between the grate tooth 13 plate and the low-guide front inner support ring 5 is 0.6mm to 0.7mm. When adopting this solution, the grate tooth 13 gap can be set according to the actual airflow and sealing cooling requirements.

[0048] In some schemes, a grate tooth 13 sealing structure is formed by welding the double teeth on the rear baffle 9 and the honeycomb on the low-guide front inner support ring 5, which is mainly used to adjust the pressure behind the turbine disc 8 to ensure that the axial force of the rotor is within an appropriate range. The preferred tooth shape of the grate tooth 13 is a bevel grate tooth 13 with 2 teeth.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the gap between the radial comb teeth 13 is 0.65 mm.

[0050] On the passage of the airflow, the airflow is guided by setting corresponding guide structure, so that the airflow can maintain good sealing when transferring in different cavities. The guide structure can adopt various schemes, and its structure is not uniquely limited. In the embodiment, one of the feasible options is optimized and adopted: the guide pipe 4 connected with the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 is arranged between the low-guide front inner support ring 5 and the low-guide rear inner support ring 6. The airflow in the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 enters the gas collection cavity B through the guide pipe 4. When the above scheme is adopted, the guide pipe 4 is distributed on the circumference of the low-guide front inner support ring 5 and the low-guide rear inner support ring 6. The guide pipe 4 is welded on the low-guide front inner support ring 5 and the low-guide rear inner support ring 6, and simultaneously constitutes the gas collection cavity B.

[0051] When part of the airflow in the gas supply passage C flows to the rotor cavity D, the structure at the brush seal assembly 7 can be configured in various forms, which is not uniquely limited. In the embodiment, one of the feasible options is optimized and adopted: the rear shaft 14 is arranged on the turbine disc 8, and the sealing surface 15 cooperating with the brush seal assembly 7 is formed on the rear shaft 14. When the above scheme is adopted, the rear shaft 14 is connected and fixed with the turbine disc 8 by the fastener.

[0052] In some schemes, the brush seal assembly 7 is fixed on the low-pressure pre-rotation nozzle 11 assembly by bolts. The brush wire is arranged on the mounting seat of the brush seal assembly 7, and forms a brush seal device with the rear shaft 14, which is used to control the leakage flow of the downward cold gas in the rear passage of the turbine disc 8, and ensures that most of the cold gas after the outlet of the front pre-rotation hole 12 is used for sealing behind the disc.

[0053] The airflow delivered into the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 is supplied by an external compressor. The specific air supply structure can adopt various forms, which is not uniquely limited. In the embodiment, one of the feasible options is optimized and adopted: the outer edge of the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 is connected and matched with the bleed air pipe 1. The annular cavity A is formed between the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 and the bleed air pipe 1. The bleed air pipe 1 is used to communicate with the compressor and deliver the airflow into the annular cavity A. When the above scheme is adopted, the bleed air pipe 1 is circumferentially and uniformly welded on the low-pressure turbine casing 2. The low-pressure turbine casing 2 is connected with the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3 by bolts, forming the annular cavity A, and ensuring that the airflow at the outlet of the bleed air pipe 1 uniformly enters the inner cavity of the low-pressure turbine guide vane 3.

[0054] According to the sealed cooling system disclosed above, an air flow with suitable pressure and temperature is drawn out from a certain position in the compressor, passes through several air bleed pipes 1, enters the low-pressure guide cavity, and then passes through the guide pipe 4 to enter the air collecting cavity B, and is divided into two air flows in the cavity. One of the air flows enters the rotor cavity D through the low-pressure pre-swirl nozzle 11 to cool the low-pressure turbine rotor, and the other air flows through the front pre-swirl hole 12, enters the air supply channel C, and is further divided into two parts. Most of the air flows through the grate teeth 13 to enter the rear cavity E of the disk to prevent the hot combustion gas of the turbine from flowing into the internal disk cavity from the main channel; a small part of the air flows into the rotor cavity D through the brush seal, mixes with the air flow at the outlet of the low-pressure pre-swirl nozzle 11, and then cools the low-pressure turbine rotor.
