[0041] 1. Meridian section; 2. Notch. Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] As required by the customer, the hub of the auxiliary power unit needs to have containment capacity. In addition, the existing containment test of the turbine blade is a containment test that achieves blade fracture by over-rotation. Compared with the hub containment test, it belongs to a different failure mode, and the existing containment test method cannot be used. Therefore, it is necessary to study how to conduct the hub containment test to fill the gap in hub containment test.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 One specific implementation of the illustrated wheel cutting method includes:

[0045] Three notches 2 are pre-cut on the meridian section 1 at the trisection position of the disc, starting from the centroid of the meridian section 1 and extending radially outward along the disc, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown; the wheel disc is used in the hub containment test. The notch 2 is also called a slot. The wheel disc cutting method described in this application achieves the wheel disc breaking at a specified speed and impacting the casing by pre-grooving a slot in the meridional section 1 of the wheel disc, thereby completing the hub containment test. The range of the meridional section 1 of the wheel disc is shown in the diagram. Figure 3The wheel disc is cut from the center of the wheel disc meridian section 1. If the wheel disc is cut from outside to inside, the blade structure will fall off. If the wheel disc is cut from inside to outside, the structural integrity of the wheel disc will be damaged.

[0046] The technical standard of CTSO-C77b stipulates that the translational kinetic energy of the wheel hub fragment for containment test is required to be maximum.

[0047] The translational kinetic energy E of the fragment k is calculated by formula (1).

[0048]

[0049] wherein m 碎 is the mass of the fragment, in kg; n is the angular velocity of the fragment, in rad / s; and r is the radius of rotation at the center of mass of the fragment, in m.

[0050] The relationship between the equal division cutting mode of the wheel disc and the average kinetic energy of the fragment when the wheel disc fails is analyzed comprehensively, as shown in Figure 2 only when the wheel disc is cut into three equal parts, the translational kinetic energy of the fragment after failure is maximum. Therefore, the notch 2 of the wheel disc for the wheel hub containment test is pre-set in the circumferential direction.

[0051] Specifically, the notch 2 is cut by wire cutting.

[0052] Further, the wire cutting speed at the end of the cutting of the notch 2 is lower than the wire cutting speed at other positions of the cutting of the notch 2. That is, slow wire cutting is required at the end of the notch 2. That is, the wire cutting mode is hybrid wire cutting.

[0053] Further, a rounding structure is provided at the end of the cutting of the notch 2.

[0054] Specifically, the radius of the rounding structure is 2 mm.

[0055] The size of the notch 2 is shown in Figure 5 The notch 2 is also called a cutting groove or a cutting slot. The depth of the cutting slot is defined as the maximum distance of the cutting groove, marked as D. The depth of the cutting slot is also called the depth of the notch 2. The shortest distance of the cutting groove to the center of the wheel disc is marked as L, and the shortest distance of the cutting groove to the center of the wheel disc is marked as R. In Figure 5 only one notch 2 is shown.

[0056] Further, the notch 2 avoids the end tooth structure and the air hole structure. That is, when there are special structures such as end tooth structure and air hole structure at the inner diameter of the wheel disc, in order to avoid the special structures such as end tooth structure and air hole structure causing the wheel disc to fail prematurely, L should be greater than the radial dimension of the special structure.

[0057] Further, the notch 2 avoids the tenon groove structure and the blade structure provided on the rim of the wheel disc. That is, when there are special structures such as tenon groove structure and blade structure on the outer diameter of the wheel disc, in order to avoid the wheel disc being damaged due to the special structures such as tenon groove structure and blade structure, R should be less than the outer diameter of the meridian section 1.

[0058] Specifically, the depth of the notch 2 includes the following steps:

[0059] S1, assuming that the solid part section between the beginning of the notch 2 and the inner edge of the meridian section 1 is the first section, the solid part section between the end of the notch 2 and the outer edge of the meridian section 1 is the second section, the section between the inner edge and the outer edge of the meridian section 1 is the third section, and the hollow part section between the beginning of the notch 2 and the end of the notch 2 is the fourth section; the area of the first section is A1, the area of the second section is A2, the area of the third section is A3, and the area of the fourth section is A4; as shown in Figure 6 .

[0060] As shown in Figure 7 , the angle between the three notches 2 is 120°, and in the working process of the wheel disc, the tangential load generated by the centrifugal force F 离心力 is borne by the meridian section 1 as the bearing section, and the bearing section after the preset notch 2 is reduced to A1+A2 as shown in Figure 6 , and the force acting on the meridian section 1 is shown in Figure 7 , wherein F1 is 1 / 3 of the total force acting on the wheel disc, and the relationship between F1 and F 离心力 is shown in formula (2).

[0061]

[0062] Wherein, σ1 is the stress of the bearing section, and the unit is MPa.

[0063] S2, the centrifugal force F 离心力 is calculated by formula (3).

[0064] F 离心力 =MR C ω 2 (3)

[0065] Wherein, M is the mass of 1 / 3 of the wheel disc, and the unit is kg; R C is the centroid radius of 1 / 3 of the wheel disc, and the unit is m; ω is the angular velocity of the wheel disc, and the unit is rad / s.

[0066] S3, A1+A2 is calculated by formula (4).

[0067]

[0068] wherein σ b实测 is the measured tensile ultimate stress, in MPa. When σ1 reaches the measured tensile ultimate stress σ b实测 at the wheel disc test temperature, the wheel disc breaks into three equal parts.

[0069] S4, calculating A4 by using formula (5);

[0070] A4 = A3 - (A1 + A2) (5)

[0071] S5, obtaining the depth of the notch 2 by A4 and the shape of the hollow part between the beginning of the notch 2 and the end of the notch 2.

[0072] Further, a reserve coefficient E is introduced, which is greater than 1;

[0073] calculating A2 according to formula (6);

[0074]

[0075] calculating A4 according to formula (5) again;

[0076] obtaining the depth of the notch 2 by A4 and the shape of the hollow part between the beginning of the notch 2 and the end of the notch 2.

[0077] Specifically, the E is 1.05.

[0078] When the wheel disc breaks into three equal parts during the premenstrual inclusion test, there is a tendency for the outer part of the second cross section of the wheel disc to break prematurely. For safety, a reserve coefficient of 1.05 is considered for the area A2 of the second cross section when cutting during the hub inclusion test. That is, when the size of the remaining meridian cross section 1 meets formula (7), it meets the breaking requirements of the wheel disc used in the hub inclusion test.

[0079]

[0080] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , it has been verified in practice that, after the wheel disc cutting method described in the present application is performed, Figure 8 the wheel disc breaks into three equal parts at the predetermined notch 2 at the specified speed, that is, the breaking form of the wheel disc is the three equal parts along the meridian cross section 1 as shown in Figure 9 , and the hub inclusion test is successfully completed.

[0081] Although embodiments of the present application have been described in conjunction with the drawings, various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and changes fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
