Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical fields of aero-engine and gas turbine manufacturing and assembly, in particular to a method for using a dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the rotor of an aero-engine core engine (usually including a high-pressure compressor, a combustor and a high-pressure turbine) is dynamically balanced, the traditional process has inherent defects. The traditional method is to place the rotor (including the shaft, the high-pressure rotor and the high-pressure turbine rotor) separately on an external balancing machine for adjustment. After the balance meets the standard, the rotor is disassembled, assembled into the casing and the high-pressure turbine rotor is reinstalled. This "balancing-disassembly-reassembly" process inevitably introduces assembly errors, destroys the adjusted balance state, causes the whole machine vibration to exceed the standard, and requires repeated debugging, which seriously affects the production efficiency and product reliability.

[0003] Therefore, the existing needs are not met, and for this purpose, we propose a method for using a dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism. SUMMARY

[0004] To this end, the present application provides a method for using a dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism to solve the above problems in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] According to the first aspect of the present application, a method for using a dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism, comprising: achieving high-precision balancing by simulating real support boundary conditions and directly measuring dynamic force at the final assembly stage, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, constructing a simulated support environment: at the final assembly station, the rear bearing of the rotor is assembled with a split detection bearing seat tooling outside the casing to form a rigid module, wherein the detection bearing seat tooling is configured to simulate the support stiffness and dynamic boundary conditions of the real engine bearing seat;

[0008] S2, system integration and sensor coupling: assemble the rotor system into the casing; install the assembled rigid module to the corresponding installation interface of the casing, and integrate a force sensing unit for directly measuring the unbalance force of the rotor on the force transmission path; connect the driving mechanism and the balancing analysis system;

[0009] S3, in-situ balancing debugging: drive the rotor system to rotate, calculate the unbalance of the rotor system based on the dynamic force signal measured by the force sensing unit using the hard support dynamic balancing principle; according to the calculation result, adjust the in-situ weight of the rotor system through the pre-set operation window on the casing;

[0010] S4, tool conversion and state solidification: after the balance is up to the standard, the rear bearing is taken out from the detection bearing seat tool and installed to the formal bearing seat tool, so as to realize the non-destructive transplantation and solidification of the balance state obtained by debugging to the final product state.

[0011] Further, step S1 constructs a simulation support environment, realizes non-destructive and rapid clamping of the rear bearing by placing the rear bearing into the cavity of the split detection bearing seat tool and locking the two split housings by fasteners, and forms a rigid functional module that can be transplanted as a whole.

[0012] Further, in the system integration and sensing coupling step S2, when the rigid module is installed to the rear bracket, it is ensured that the installation interface, connection size and internal bearing cavity structure are consistent with the formal bearing seat tool, so as to accurately simulate the dynamic boundary conditions of the rotor under real service.

[0013] Further, the specific method of integrating the force sensing unit on the force transmission path is to arrange a piezoelectric force sensor group between the installation flanges of the detection bearing seat tool and the rear bracket, for directly detecting and collecting dynamic force vector signals excited by the rotor imbalance.

[0014] Further, the system integration and sensing coupling also includes arranging a key phase sensor for capturing the phase reference signal of the rotating shaft during rotation.

[0015] Further, the specific method of calculating the imbalance amount by using the hard support dynamic balancing principle is that the balance analysis system receives the force signal and the phase signal, extracts the dynamic force component synchronous with the rotating speed through frequency spectrum analysis, and calculates the size and phase angle of the imbalance mass moment in two preset correction planes based on the influence coefficient method or the least square algorithm.

[0016] Further, the specific method of performing in-situ weight adjustment is that the operator removes the sealing plate of the window on the casing according to the instructions of the balance analysis system, and directly adds, deletes or adjusts the weight mechanism on the exposed rotor disc through the window without disassembling and hoisting out the rotor system.

[0017] Further, the weight adjustment operation is performed on the last stage disc of the high pressure rotor or high vortex rotor, and the weight is realized by operating the pre-set weight threaded hole on the disc.

[0018] Further, it also includes an operation sub-step of enabling an auxiliary support mechanism to temporarily support the cantilever end of the rotating shaft before disassembling the detection bearing seat tool in the tool conversion and state solidification step.

[0019] Further, the auxiliary support mechanism is enabled by driving the telescopic drive member to act, so that the roller connected to the output end thereof is lifted and forms rolling contact with the roller surface of the rotating shaft to safely bear the weight of the rotor system.

[0020] The present application has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The use method of the dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism, by adopting a detection bearing seat tooling having the same installation interface and internal cavity structure as the formal bearing seat tooling, ensures that the mechanical support environment of the rotor during the balancing test is completely consistent with the real working environment, which makes the perfect balance state debugged in the test state be preserved intact and completely after the formal tooling is replaced, fundamentally eliminates the error sources such as reference change and bolt pre-tightening force difference caused by secondary assembly in the traditional process, and realizes the ultimate balancing precision.

[0022] 2. The use method of the dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism, the split type shell design realizes safe and reliable clamping of the bearing outside the bearing housing through the cooperation of the two shells and the connecting piece, and after the stable "bearing-tooling" module is formed, the whole installation is carried out, which completely avoids the high-risk operation of pressing or impact disassembly of high-precision bearings in the narrow space inside the engine, not only greatly reduces the operation difficulty and the requirement for personnel skills, but more importantly, fundamentally protects the precision and reliability of the bearing, and improves the safety and robustness of the whole process.

[0023] 3. The use method of the dynamic balancing device containing a core engine unit bearing mechanism, by integrating the piezoelectric force sensor group and the key phase sensor to form a high-rigidity measurement system, and combining the calibration window provided on the bearing housing, a high-efficiency "perception-computation-execution" closed-loop system is established, so that the high-precision dynamic balancing process can be seamlessly embedded into the assembly process, and the steps of repeatedly lifting and disassembling the rotor are saved, which greatly shortens the assembly cycle of the engine while ensuring the quality, and improves the production efficiency.
