Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of turbomachinery testing technology, and more specifically to a suction device for the boundary layer of a compressor blade cascade test. Background Technology
[0002] The suction device applied to the suction surface layer in compressor blade tests can actively control boundary layer flow to optimize the aerodynamic performance of the blades. Currently, the common approach is as follows: the traditional suction device is fixed to the test bench with an integrated welded frame. The vacuum chamber and pipes mounted on the frame are not removable, and additional small holes and gaps need to be made in the blades or end walls, a vacuum chamber needs to be set inside the blades, and fixed pipelines need to be installed in the connection channel between the suction device and the external suction equipment.
[0003] However, in practice, it has been found that the following technical problems are frequently encountered when using traditional suction devices:
[0004] Because traditional suction devices are fixed to the test bench by integrated welding, the grid plates cannot be disassembled according to the geometric parameters of different blades or test requirements. This makes it difficult to adjust the suction slots, thus increasing the difficulty of the experiment. In addition, the additionally designed small holes, gaps, vacuum chambers and pipelines are easily blocked by particles, which increases the maintenance difficulty of the test bench and the manufacturing cost of the test bench. When faced with high suction flow requirements, there are many suction holes in ineffective suction positions, resulting in low accuracy of experimental data, poor suction effect, and excessive energy consumption during the operation of the suction equipment.

[0018] In a second aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic device, including: one or more processors; and a storage device having one or more programs stored thereon, wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the method described in any of the implementations of the first aspect above.
[0019] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: the suction device applied to the boundary layer of compressor blade test according to some embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the difficulty of adjusting the boundary layer suction position, reduce the complexity of the test bench structure, manufacturing cost and test maintenance difficulty, improve the aerodynamic performance of the blade, thereby reducing the occurrence of poor test data and reducing the energy consumption during the operation of the suction equipment. The existing technologies suffer from difficulties in adjusting the boundary layer suction position, complex test bench structures, high manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties, and low blade aerodynamic performance, resulting in poor experimental data and high energy consumption during suction equipment operation. These issues arise because traditional suction devices are integrally welded to the test bench, making it impossible to disassemble the grid plates according to different blade geometry or experimental requirements. This makes adjusting the suction slot difficult, thus increasing experimental complexity. Furthermore, the additionally designed small holes, gaps, vacuum chambers, and pipelines are easily clogged by particles, increasing the maintenance difficulty of the test bench and raising its manufacturing cost. When facing high suction flow requirements, many suction holes are in ineffective suction positions, leading to low experimental data accuracy, poor suction performance, and excessive energy consumption during operation. Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure describe a suction device applied to the boundary layer of a compressor blade cascade test. The suction device comprises a suction position adjustment structure group, a suction flow control component, and a blade group. Each side of the blade group is connected to a suction position adjustment structure in the suction position adjustment structure group. Each suction position adjustment structure in the suction position adjustment structure group includes a grid plate, a suction hood, a suction conduit group, and a gas collecting tank suction conduit. The grid plate has a blade mounting groove group and a suction slot groove group. The positions of the groups are variable, and the number of the blade mounting slot groups and the suction slot groups are the same. The grid plate, the suction hood, the suction conduit group, and the gas collecting tank suction conduit are all detachable. The suction hood has a sealed chamber inside, and a flow stabilizing plate is provided at a preset height in the sealed chamber. The flow stabilizing plate has a preset number of through holes for dispersing the airflow. The suction flow control component includes a manifold, a flow meter, a regulating valve, and a vacuum suction pump. The suction flow control component is used to control the suction flow of the suction device. Because each suction position adjustment structure in the above-mentioned suction position adjustment structure group includes a grid plate, and the grid plate has a blade mounting groove group and a suction slit groove group, and since the grid plate, the suction hood, the suction conduit group and the gas collecting tank suction conduit are all detachable, the position of the suction slit groove group is variable. Therefore, the opening position of the suction slit groove can be adjusted by replacing the grid plate, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the suction slit groove and thus reducing the difficulty of experimental operation. The position of the suction slit groove can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of experimental data, improving the suction effect, and reducing the energy consumption of the suction equipment during operation.Furthermore, since the aforementioned suction flow control assembly includes a manifold, flow meter, regulating valve, and vacuum suction pump, and is used to control the suction flow of the aforementioned suction device, different suction flow rates can be allocated at different suction positions, reducing excessive energy consumption during the operation of the suction equipment unit. Also, because each suction position adjustment structure in the aforementioned suction position adjustment structure group, including the grid plate, suction hood, suction conduit assembly, and gas collection tank suction conduit, is detachable, the difficulty of test maintenance can be reduced, and it can be flexibly used on different test benches. It is not necessary to have a suction device fixedly connected to each test bench, reducing the number of required suction devices and lowering the manufacturing cost of the test benches.

Each blade 1 in the blade group may be fixed to one blade mounting groove 13 in the blade mounting groove group by tenon and mortise. The grid plate 2 and the suction hood 3 may both be made of stainless steel. Here, the materials of the aforementioned grid plate 2 and suction hood 3 are not specifically limited, nor is the connection method between the aforementioned blade 1 and the aforementioned blade mounting groove 13, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The position of the aforementioned suction slot 14 within the aforementioned suction slot can be preset. Here, the specific position of the aforementioned suction slot 14 within the aforementioned suction slot is not limited, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that since the aforementioned grid plate 2, the aforementioned suction hood 3, the aforementioned suction conduit assembly, and the aforementioned gas collecting tank suction conduit 8 are all detachable, the position of the aforementioned suction slot assembly is variable, and the position of the suction slot 14 can be adjusted by replacing the aforementioned grid plate 2. Here, the specific method for determining the position of the aforementioned suction slot within the aforementioned suction slot is not limited, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the position of the suction slot within the aforementioned suction slot can be pre-researched using fluid dynamics numerical simulation software.
[0042] In some embodiments, the interior of the suction hood 3 is a sealed chamber. A flow stabilizing plate 15 is provided at a predetermined height within the sealed chamber. The flow stabilizing plate 15 has a first predetermined number of through holes. These first predetermined number of through holes can be used to disperse the airflow.

The type of sealant is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual conditions. The closed chamber provides a stable and uniform airflow input to the suction device, improving the accuracy of suction flow control and the reliability of the suction device operation. The preset height of the closed chamber represents the distance between the flow stabilizer 15 and the bottom of the suction hood 3. The preset height can be in the range of 40-60 mm.

The aforementioned first preset number of through holes can be evenly distributed on the aforementioned flow stabilizer 15. The range of the first preset number of through holes can be 500 to 1000. Setting the number of through holes to the first preset number can improve flow field uniformity and match dynamic flow requirements. The diameter of the aforementioned through holes can be in the range of 3 to 5 mm. This diameter range can balance airflow dispersion and pressure loss. If the through holes are too small, it will increase the resistance encountered during airflow; if the through holes are too large, it will reduce the flow stabilization effect. The thickness of the aforementioned through holes can range from 3 to 6 mm. This thickness range can improve structural rigidity and reduce resonance caused by airflow vibration. No specific limitations are placed on the diameter, number, or thickness of the through holes; adjustments can be made according to specific circumstances.

No specific limitations are placed on the diameter, material, and type of the aforementioned flow-adjustable pipe; adjustments can be made according to actual conditions.
[0048] Optionally, the aforementioned grid plate 2, suction hood 3, suction conduit assembly, and gas collecting tank suction conduit 8 can be used to adjust the suction position and suction flow rate of the suction device. Specifically, the suction position of the suction device can be adjusted by replacing the grid plate 2 to change the opening position of the suction slot 14; the suction flow rate can be adjusted by replacing the suction conduit assembly and gas collecting tank suction conduit 8 with different diameters, thereby adjusting the suction rate.
[0049] Optionally, the outer wall surface of the suction shroud 3 may be provided with a second preset number of threaded holes. These second preset number of threaded holes may be connected to one end of a second preset number of quick-connect fittings 6.

The threaded holes may be evenly distributed on the outer wall surface of the suction shroud 3. The second preset number may be 56. The number of threaded holes helps to ensure even suction and reduce dead zones in the airflow. The quick-connect plug 4 mentioned above can be a quick-connect pneumatic connector, and its material can be stainless steel.

Here, the number, material, and diameter of the suction tubes 5 are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to specific circumstances.
[0050] Optionally, the suction slot group and the blade mounting slot group are equally spaced on the grid plate 2. One side of the blade group is embedded in the blade mounting slot group. Each blade 1 in the blade group includes a suction surface and a pressure surface. The suction surface is the convex surface of the blade 1, and the pressure surface is the concave surface of the blade 1. Each suction slot 14 in the suction slot group has adjacent blades on its left and right sides. The distance between the suction slot 14 and the pressure surface of the adjacent blade on the left is a first preset distance, and the distance between the suction slot 14 and the suction surface of the adjacent blade on the right is a second preset distance. The second preset distance is greater than the first preset distance. The shape of the suction slot 14 is the same as the shape of the suction surface profile of the suction surface. The distance between any two adjacent suction slots in the suction slot group is equal. The distance between any two adjacent blade mounting slots in the blade mounting slot group is equal. The first preset distance can be in the range of 1 to 5 mm. If the first preset distance is too small, it may cause friction between the blade 1 and the groove, resulting in vibration or wear. If the first preset distance is too large, it may reduce the suction efficiency, leading to airflow leakage or flow field turbulence. The width of the suction slot 14 can be in the range of 4 to 6 mm. The width of the suction slot 14 can reduce the occurrence of blockage and airflow disturbance. The second preset distance can be in the range of 10 to 30 mm. If the second preset distance is too small, it may cause interference between the suction shroud 3 and the compressor or affect the thermal expansion space of the blade 1. If the distance is too large, it may reduce the suction efficiency and increase pressure loss. The shape of the suction surface profile can be arc-shaped. In operation, the vacuum pump 12 starts and forms a negative pressure source. The negative pressure source is sequentially connected to the suction slot 14, the suction hood 3, the gas collection tank 7, the manifold tank 9, and the vacuum pump 12 to form a negative pressure link. When the airflow flows between each pair of adjacent blades in the blade group, the blade group performs boundary layer separation on the flowing airflow. The separated low-energy airflow is sucked into the sealed chamber by the suction slot group. The airflow in the sealed chamber passes through the flow stabilizer 15 and is then diverted to the gas collection tank 7 via the suction conduit group. The collected airflow is then circulated to the manifold tank 9 via the suction conduit 8 of the gas collection tank. The airflow in the manifold tank 9 flows to the vacuum pump 12 through the flow-adjustable pipe. The flow meter 10 installed on the flow-adjustable pipe can monitor the flow rate of the flow-adjustable pipe in real time, so that the flow rate of the flow-adjustable pipe can be adjusted by the regulating valve 11.
[0051] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem two often arises: In the scenario of high-load compressor design verification, traditional fixed-size suction slots are difficult to adapt to the variable operating conditions of the compressor. Under low angle of attack or low flow rate conditions, excessively large suction slots will draw in too much mainstream fluid, leading to a decrease in the aerodynamic performance of the blades. Conversely, under high angle of attack or stall conditions, excessively small suction slots cannot effectively suppress separation, resulting in increased total pressure loss and poor suction performance. To address this second technical problem, the conventional solution is to pre-install suction slot grids of various specifications, which are then disassembled and replaced during shutdown to match different operating conditions. However, considering the shortcomings of simply disassembling and replacing them to match different operating conditions, and leveraging the advantages of our company in developing suction devices for the boundary layer of compressor blade testing, we have decided to adopt the following solution:
[0052] Optionally, a sealed pressure chamber is provided on the right side of the aforementioned suction slit groove. A pressure guiding hole is provided on the front wall of the sealed pressure chamber. A gas channel exists between each pair of adjacent blades in the aforementioned blade assembly. The sealed pressure chamber communicates with the gas channel through the pressure guiding hole. A primary piston and a secondary piston are provided within the sealed pressure chamber. The right end face of the primary piston is connected to the left end face of the secondary piston. Initially, the left end face of the primary piston faces the pressure guiding hole, and the distance between the left end face and the pressure guiding hole is a third preset distance. A spring is connected to the right end face of the secondary piston. The spring is made of shape memory alloy and is initially in a compressed state. The surface of the spring is coated with a graphene coating. A detachable ceramic heating element is embedded in the side wall of the sealed pressure chamber, and the distance between the ceramic heating element and the spring is a fourth preset distance. The sealed pressure chamber can be a closed cavity structure that can accommodate the primary and secondary pistons and transmit gas pressure. The aforementioned pressure guiding hole can be a small hole opened on the front wall of the aforementioned sealed pressure chamber, used to connect the aforementioned sealed pressure chamber with the aforementioned gas passage. The connection method between the aforementioned primary piston and the aforementioned secondary piston can be a bolt connection. The aforementioned third preset distance can be in the range of 1 to 2 mm. The connection method between the aforementioned primary piston and the aforementioned secondary piston is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The aforementioned spring type can be a shape memory alloy, and the type of the spring can drive the piston to reset through temperature changes, achieving adaptive adjustment. The aforementioned graphene coating can be graphene material coated on the surface of the spring. The aforementioned graphene coating can be used to quickly transfer the heat generated by the ceramic heating element, accelerating the spring temperature response. The aforementioned ceramic heating element can be a heating element made of a positive temperature coefficient ceramic material, whose resistance increases with increasing temperature. The aforementioned ceramic heating element can control the spring temperature through controllable heating to achieve piston position control. The aforementioned fourth preset distance can be in the range of 3 to 5 mm. Here, the aforementioned fourth preset distance is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In operation, when the compressor is running, gas enters the pressure guide hole through the aforementioned suction slot, pushing the first-stage piston to the right. The first-stage piston then drives the second-stage piston to the right, compressing the spring. When the pressure within the sealed pressure chamber reaches a set value, the ceramic heating element is energized and heats up. The spring expands due to the heat, pushing the second-stage piston to the left, which in turn pushes the first-stage piston to the left, closing the pressure guide hole. When the pressure decreases, the ceramic heating element stops heating, the spring cools and contracts, and the first-stage piston moves to the right, reopening the pressure guide hole and restoring the suction function of the sealed pressure chamber. The specific value of the aforementioned set value is not limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the set value can be 83000 Pa.
[0053] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem two: traditional fixed-size suction slots are difficult to adapt to the variable operating conditions of compressors. Under different operating conditions, fixed-size suction slots can lead to a decrease in blade aerodynamic performance or an increase in total pressure loss. The reasons for the decrease in blade aerodynamic performance or the increase in total pressure loss are as follows: In the scenario of high-load compressor design verification, traditional fixed-size suction slots are difficult to adapt to the variable operating conditions of compressors. Under low angle of attack or low flow rate conditions, suction slots that are too large will draw in too much mainstream fluid, resulting in a decrease in blade aerodynamic performance. Under high angle of attack or stall conditions, suction slots that are too small cannot effectively suppress separation, resulting in an increase in total pressure loss and poor suction effect. To achieve this effect, the suction device disclosed herein includes a sealed pressure chamber located behind the aforementioned suction slit groove. A pressure guiding hole is provided on the front wall of the sealed pressure chamber. A primary piston and a secondary piston are provided within the sealed pressure chamber, rigidly connected. A spring is connected to the right end face of the secondary piston. The spring is made of shape memory alloy and coated with a graphene layer. A removable ceramic heating element is embedded in the side wall of the sealed pressure chamber. Thus, the pressure guiding hole can capture the dynamic static pressure value within the blade channel in real time. When the pressure remains high, the ceramic heating element is energized, the graphene coating accelerates heat conduction, the shape memory alloy spring heats up, the piston moves to the right, and the suction slit groove increases in opening. This allows for automatic adjustment of the suction slit groove opening, reducing the decrease in aerodynamic performance of the blades or the increase in total pressure loss.
[0054] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem three often arises: In scenarios where the suction device simulates aircraft takeoff and climb, the airflow impacts the blades at a large angle of attack, easily leading to severe airflow separation on the suction surface of the blades. This results in boundary layer thickening and the generation of large vortices in the separation zone. Furthermore, when operating conditions change and the angle of attack decreases, the suction capacity of the suction device weakens, causing backflow. The conventional solution to this technical problem three is generally to optimize the blade profile. However, considering the shortcomings of optimizing the blade profile and leveraging the advantages of our company in developing suction devices for the boundary layer of compressor blade tests, we have decided to adopt the following solution:
[0055] Optionally, a flexible valve is provided on the upstream side of the aforementioned suction slit groove. One end of the flexible valve is a fixed end, which is fixed to the aforementioned grid plate. The other end of the flexible valve is a free end, which is perpendicular to the surface of the aforementioned grid plate. The flexible valve is used to bend inward towards the suction slit groove in response to a change in the pressure difference between the gas in the suction slit groove and the gas in the aforementioned gas channel, thereby forming an angle between the flexible valve and the surface of the aforementioned grid plate. The upstream side of the suction slit groove can characterize the side where the airflow enters the suction slit groove. The flexible valve can be a metal foil with good elasticity and fatigue resistance. For example, the metal foil can be 301 stainless steel. The fixed end of the flexible valve can be fixed to the aforementioned grid plate using micro-screws. In a natural, pressure-free initial state, the free end of the flexible valve is perpendicular to the upper surface of the aforementioned grid plate, forming a baffle adjacent to the aforementioned suction slit groove. In practice, when the aforementioned vacuum pump operates, a low pressure is formed downstream of the aforementioned suction slot, while a high pressure is formed in the gas channel between the blades. When the angle of attack is greater than the target angle of attack, the pressure difference between the gas pressure in the aforementioned suction slot and the pressure in the gas channel between the blades increases. The free end of the aforementioned flexible valve bends inward towards the suction slot to form a smooth angle. This angle guides the low-energy airflow of the boundary layer smoothly into the aforementioned suction slot, reducing airflow separation at the corner of the suction slot inlet, thereby reducing the generation of large vortices in the separation zone. When the angle of attack is less than the target angle of attack, the pressure difference between the gas pressure in the aforementioned suction slot and the pressure in the gas channel between the blades decreases. The free end of the aforementioned flexible valve will rebound, reducing the angle, thus further blocking backflow of airflow when the suction capacity weakens. Here, the specific value of the aforementioned target angle of attack is not limited; for example, the target angle of attack can be +5°.
[0056] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem three: the situation where airflow impacts the blades at a large angle of attack, leading to thickening of the airflow boundary layer and the generation of large vortices in the airflow separation zone; and the situation where, when operating conditions change and the angle of attack decreases, the suction capacity of the suction device weakens, causing airflow backflow. The reasons for the airflow impacting the blades at different angles of attack, resulting in large vortices in the airflow separation zone or airflow backflow, are as follows: In scenarios simulating aircraft takeoff and climb, the airflow impacting the blades at a large angle of attack easily causes severe airflow separation on the blade's suction surface, leading to boundary layer thickening and the generation of large vortices in the separation zone. Furthermore, when operating conditions change and the angle of attack decreases, the suction capacity of the suction device weakens, causing airflow backflow. To achieve this effect, the flexible valve of the suction device disclosed herein can form an angle that guides the airflow into the suction slot based on the pressure difference between the gas passage between the blades and the suction slot. When the angle of attack is greater than the target angle of attack, the free end of the flexible valve bends inward toward the suction slot to form a smooth angle. This angle can guide the low-energy airflow of the boundary layer smoothly into the suction slot, thus reducing the separation of airflow at the inlet corner of the suction slot, which leads to boundary layer thickening and the generation of large vortices in the separation zone. Also, when the angle of attack is less than the target angle of attack, the free end of the flexible valve will rebound inward, reducing the angle, thereby further preventing backflow of airflow when the suction capacity of the suction device weakens.
[0057] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem four often arises: In scenarios involving design verification under varying operating conditions, the linear control strategy employed by traditional suction devices cannot adapt to sudden changes in operating conditions, leading to control instability and inaccurate experimental data; because the test conditions need to be dynamically adjusted during the experiment, the speed of manual flow adjustment cannot keep up with the rate of change in operating conditions, resulting in a limited test range; due to the inability to sense the wear state of the blades, the system continuously applies standard suction intensity to the wear zone, leading to increased fluctuations in suction flow and increased flow control deviation. Regarding the aforementioned technical problem three, conventional solutions generally rely on human experience, manually adjusting the valve opening according to changes in operating conditions. However, considering the shortcomings of manually adjusting the valve opening according to changes in operating conditions, and combining the advantages of the inventor's company in developing suction devices applied to the boundary layer of compressor blade tests, we decided to adopt the following solution:
[0058] Optionally, the suction device further includes an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED), a spectrometer, an angle-of-attack sensor, a pressure sensor assembly, and a processor. Each blade in the blade assembly is coated with a fluorescent coating. The angle-of-attack sensor can be a five-hole pressure probe, embedded at the leading edge of the blade, with the distance from the blade's leading edge along the blade's chord length being 1.5 times the blade's chord length. The UV LED is positioned along the length of the grid plate in the region directly opposite the blade's suction surface at the top edge of the grid plate. The UV LED is configured to operate in a pulsed manner, with its pulse frequency synchronized with the spectrometer's sampling frequency. The pressure sensor assembly can consist of five units. All pressure sensors can be piezoresistive pressure sensors, embedded at 5mm intervals along the chord length of the suction surface, with the probe tips flush with the blade's profile. The processor can be an instrument for processing various information, such as a central processing unit (CPU). The processor can communicate with the angle-of-attack sensor, the pressure sensor, the flow meter, and the regulating valve. It should be noted that the aforementioned communication connections may include, but are not limited to, 3G / 4G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultra-wideband) connections, and other currently known or future-developed communication methods. The fluorescent coating material may be a high-temperature resistant paint doped with rare-earth fluorescent materials, and this material can maintain fluorescence stability under high-temperature environments. The wavelength range of the aforementioned ultraviolet light-emitting diode may be 360–370 nm, and the wavelength range of the ultraviolet light-emitting diode has a high degree of matching with the material of the aforementioned fluorescent coating. The spectrometer may be a fluorescence spectrometer. The spectrometer may be integrated into the top edge of the aforementioned grid plate, near the leading edge of the aforementioned blade.
[0059] The processor described above is further configured to perform the following steps:
[0060] The first step, in response to determining that the vacuum pump is in the start-up state, is to receive the angle of attack information collected by the angle of attack sensor, the suction surface pressure distribution information acquired by the pressure sensor group, and the fluorescence intensity information collected by the spectrometer. The angle of attack information characterizes the angle between the incoming flow direction of the airflow in each gas channel, measured in real time by the five-hole pressure probe, and the chord line of any blade on either side of the gas channel. The suction surface pressure distribution information characterizes the pressure value of the suction surface of each blade in the blade group. The fluorescence intensity information in the fluorescence intensity information set characterizes the brightness value of the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent coating when the surface of each blade in the blade group is irradiated by the ultraviolet light-emitting diode within a preset time period. The start-up state indicates that the vacuum pump has been started. The specific value of the preset time period is not limited; for example, the preset time period can be May 1st to May 3rd.
[0061] The second step is to determine the pressure gradient information based on the aforementioned angle-of-attack information and the suction surface pressure distribution information. This pressure gradient information characterizes the rate of change of pressure value on the suction surface of each blade within the blade group. In practice, the processor can determine the pressure gradient information using a forward difference formula and a correction formula, based on the angle-of-attack information and the suction surface pressure distribution information.
[0062] The third step involves determining the degradation coefficient information of the corresponding fluorescent coating based on the aforementioned fluorescence intensity information set and the pre-trained degradation coefficient model. This degradation coefficient information characterizes the decay rate of the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorescent coating relative to an initially set fluorescence lifetime. The specific value of the initially set fluorescence lifetime is not limited. For example, the fluorescence lifetime could be 8.5 ns. The decay rate could be 50%. In practice, firstly, the processor can acquire the time series of the fluorescence intensity information set, the environmental factors of the fluorescent coating, and the physical properties of the fluorescent coating using the spectrometer. Then, the acquired time series, the environmental factors of the fluorescent coating, and the physical properties of the fluorescent coating are input into the pre-trained degradation coefficient model to obtain the degradation coefficient information. The environmental factors of the fluorescent coating can be the irradiance of the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light-emitting diode. The physical properties of the fluorescent coating can characterize the thickness of the fluorescent coating. The time series can characterize each time point within the preset time period when the spectrometer acquires the fluorescence intensity information set. For example, if the preset time period is May 1st to May 3rd, then the time series could include 6 PM on May 1st, 6 PM on May 2nd, and 6 PM on May 3rd, with a 24-hour interval between any two adjacent time points. The time points in the time series can correspond one-to-one with the fluorescence intensity information in the fluorescence intensity information set. The pre-trained degradation coefficient model can be a model that takes the time series of fluorescence intensity information obtained from the spectrometer, the environmental factors of the fluorescent coating, and the physical properties of the fluorescent coating as input, and the degradation coefficient information as output. The pre-trained degradation coefficient model can be a gradient boosting decision tree model. The training method for the gradient boosting decision tree model can be batch training. For example, the gradient boosting decision tree model could be LightGBM.
[0063] The fourth step involves determining the multimodal flow field characteristics of the corresponding flow field based on the aforementioned angle of attack information, suction surface pressure distribution information, and degradation coefficient information. These multimodal flow field characteristics can characterize the feature vectors of the flow field within the suction device. For example, the multimodal flow field characteristics can characterize a 16-dimensional feature vector. In practice, the processor can input the aforementioned angle of attack information, suction surface pressure distribution information, and fluorescence intensity information set into a fully connected autoencoder to obtain the corresponding feature vectors as multimodal flow field characteristics.
[0064] The fifth step involves determining the key flow rate information based on the aforementioned pressure gradient information, degradation coefficient information, and multimodal flow field characteristics. This key flow rate information characterizes the suction flow rate that the suction device needs to maintain under the current operating conditions. In practice, the processor can input the aforementioned pressure gradient information, degradation coefficient information, and multimodal flow field characteristics into the XGBoost regression model to obtain the key flow rate information.
[0065] Step 6: Based on the aforementioned key flow rate information, angle of attack information, pressure gradient information, and degradation coefficient information, determine the nonlinear mapping function. In practice, the executing entity can input the aforementioned key flow rate information, angle of attack information, pressure gradient information, and degradation coefficient information into the aforementioned XGBoost regression model to obtain the nonlinear mapping function.
[0066] Step 7: Determine the target flow rate information based on the aforementioned nonlinear mapping function. This target flow rate information represents the predicted flow rate that the suction device needs to pump at the current moment. In practice, firstly, the processor can determine the target mapping information as representing the key flow rate information, angle of attack information, pressure gradient information, and degradation coefficient information. Then, based on the target mapping information, the target flow rate information is obtained using the aforementioned nonlinear mapping function. This nonlinear mapping function represents a piecewise nonlinear function between the target flow rate information and the target mapping information.
[0067] Step 8: Based on the aforementioned target flow rate information, control the regulating valve to adjust the flow rate. In practice, firstly, the processor can determine the preset adjustment angle information corresponding to the target flow rate information from a preset adjustment angle information set. The preset adjustment angle information in the preset adjustment angle information set represents the correspondence between the adjustment angle of the regulating valve and the target flow rate information. For example, the preset adjustment angle information could be: "Target flow rate: 20 g / s, regulating valve adjustment angle: 60 degrees". Then, the adjustment angle of the regulating valve in the determined preset adjustment angle information is set as the rotation angle of the regulating valve. Finally, based on the rotation angle, control the regulating valve to adjust the flow rate.
[0068] The above-described technical solution, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solves technical problem four: the linear control strategy used in traditional suction devices causes inaccurate experimental data due to control instability; the experimental range is limited because the speed of manually adjusting the flow rate cannot keep up with the rate of change in operating conditions; and the flow control deviation increases because the system continuously applies standard suction intensity to the wear zone. The reasons for inaccurate experimental data, limited experimental range, and increased flow control deviation are as follows: in the scenario of design verification under varying operating conditions, the linear control strategy used in traditional suction devices cannot adapt to sudden changes in operating conditions, resulting in inaccurate experimental data due to control instability; the experimental range is limited because the experimental conditions need to be dynamically adjusted, and the speed of manually adjusting the flow rate cannot keep up with the rate of change in operating conditions; and the system continuously applies standard suction intensity to the wear zone because it cannot sense the wear state of the blades, leading to increased fluctuations in the suction flow rate and increased flow control deviation. To achieve this effect, the suction device of this disclosure determines the target flow rate information based on the angle of attack information collected by the angle of attack sensor, the suction surface pressure distribution information obtained by the pressure sensor group, and the fluorescence intensity information collected by the spectrometer, according to the nonlinear mapping function. Therefore, the aforementioned suction device can employ a nonlinear control strategy to reduce inaccuracies in the experimental data of the suction test. Furthermore, based on the angle-of-attack information collected by the angle-of-attack sensor, the pressure distribution information of the suction surface obtained by the pressure sensor group, and the fluorescence intensity information collected by the spectrometer, key flow information can be determined according to the pressure gradient information, degradation coefficient information, and multimodal flow field characteristics. This allows for dynamic adjustment of the suction flow rate, reducing the limitation of the experimental range caused by manual flow adjustment failing to keep pace with changes in operating conditions. Also, since the suction device includes an ultraviolet light-emitting diode, a spectrometer, an angle-of-attack sensor, a pressure sensor group, and a processor, and each blade in the blade group is coated with a fluorescent coating, the flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the regulating valve based on the target flow rate information. The degradation coefficient information of the corresponding fluorescent coating can be determined based on the fluorescence intensity information and a pre-trained degradation coefficient model. This allows for the perception of the blade coating state, reducing the standard suction intensity continuously applied to the wear zone and minimizing the risk of high-speed airflow accelerating the shedding of debris from the blade surface, which could lead to increased suction flow fluctuations and flow control deviations.
[0069] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: the suction device applied to the boundary layer of compressor blade test according to some embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the difficulty of adjusting the boundary layer suction position, reduce the complexity of the test bench structure, manufacturing cost and test maintenance difficulty, improve the aerodynamic performance of the blade, thereby reducing the occurrence of poor test data and reducing the energy consumption during the operation of the suction equipment. The existing technologies suffer from difficulties in adjusting the boundary layer suction position, complex test bench structures, high manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulties, and low blade aerodynamic performance, resulting in poor experimental data and high energy consumption during suction equipment operation. These issues arise because traditional suction devices are integrally welded to the test bench, making it impossible to disassemble the grid plates according to different blade geometry or experimental requirements. This makes adjusting the suction slot difficult, thus increasing experimental complexity. Furthermore, the additionally designed small holes, gaps, vacuum chambers, and pipelines are easily clogged by particles, increasing the maintenance difficulty of the test bench and raising its manufacturing cost. When facing high suction flow requirements, many suction holes are in ineffective suction positions, leading to low experimental data accuracy, poor suction performance, and excessive energy consumption during operation. Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure describe a suction device applied to the boundary layer of a compressor blade cascade test. The suction device comprises a suction position adjustment structure group, a suction flow control component, and a blade group. Each side of the blade group is connected to a suction position adjustment structure in the suction position adjustment structure group. Each suction position adjustment structure in the suction position adjustment structure group includes a grid plate, a suction hood, a suction conduit group, and a gas collecting tank suction conduit. The grid plate has a blade mounting groove group and a suction slot groove group. The positions of the groups are variable, and the number of the blade mounting slot groups and the suction slot groups are the same. The grid plate, the suction hood, the suction conduit group, and the gas collecting tank suction conduit are all detachable. The suction hood has a sealed chamber inside, and a flow stabilizing plate is provided at a preset height in the sealed chamber. The flow stabilizing plate has a preset number of through holes for dispersing the airflow. The suction flow control component includes a manifold, a flow meter, a regulating valve, and a vacuum suction pump. The suction flow control component is used to control the suction flow of the suction device. Because each suction position adjustment structure in the above-mentioned suction position adjustment structure group includes a grid plate, and the grid plate has a blade mounting groove group and a suction slit groove group, and since the grid plate, the suction hood, the suction conduit group and the gas collecting tank suction conduit are all detachable, the position of the suction slit groove group is variable. Therefore, the opening position of the suction slit groove can be adjusted by replacing the grid plate, reducing the difficulty of adjusting the suction slit groove and thus reducing the difficulty of experimental operation. The position of the suction slit groove can be adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of experimental data, improving the suction effect, and reducing the energy consumption of the suction equipment during operation.Furthermore, since the aforementioned suction flow control assembly includes a manifold, flow meter, regulating valve, and vacuum suction pump, and is used to control the suction flow of the aforementioned suction device, different suction flow rates can be allocated at different suction positions, reducing excessive energy consumption during the operation of the suction equipment unit. Also, because each suction position adjustment structure in the aforementioned suction position adjustment structure group, including the grid plate, suction hood, suction conduit assembly, and gas collection tank suction conduit, is detachable, the difficulty of test maintenance can be reduced, and it can be flexibly used on different test benches. It is not necessary to have a suction device fixedly connected to each test bench, reducing the number of required suction devices and lowering the manufacturing cost of the test benches.
