Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of whole machine bird ingestion test, in particular, relates to a turbo-prop engine whole machine bird ingestion test device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bird ingestion events are extremely common for turbo-prop engines during take-off and low altitude flight. Bird ingestion can cause propeller blade breakage, engine surge stall and even structural disintegration, which seriously threatens flight safety. Therefore, the airworthiness regulations require that the engine must pass the bird ingestion test to ensure its reliability under extreme conditions. The engine bird ingestion test uses specially designed "bird bullets" that simulate the weight and density of real birds. The bird bullets are shot into the running engine at high speed by air cannons or compressed gas devices.

[0003] In existing bird body launching tests, high-pressure gas in the air cannon propels the bird body-loaded shell carrier forward to accelerate, the shell carrier separates from the projectile at the cannon mouth separator, and the bird body moving in a straight line along the horizontal direction can be accurately launched to the designated position.

[0004] The bird ingestion test requirements for high-power turbo engines are as follows: 1. Extremely high launch frequency and quality: 5 small birds weighing 80g-100g are launched continuously within 1s; 2. Extremely high launch speed: the muzzle velocity of each small bird needs to reach 350km / h to simulate the take-off / approach speed of an airplane; 3. Extremely high timing accuracy: the "time window" between each propeller blade of the engine is extremely short, and the control system must ensure that each small bird is launched at an extremely accurate time to accurately pass through the plane of the high-speed rotating propeller and enter the engine inlet, rather than hitting the propeller blade, and a single error will cause the propeller and engine to be damaged, resulting in test failure; 4. Trajectory consistency: the trajectories of the 5 small birds must have high consistency to ensure that they all enter the inlet through the preset path.

[0005] However, existing bird ingestion test gas cannons mostly use single-cannon sequential triggering or simple multi-cannon parallel control methods. Single-cannon sequential triggering control refers to using a complex mechanical loading mechanism (such as a rotating shell magazine and a push rod system) to continuously load and launch multiple bird bullets into the same cannon tube within a very short time. This method has the following disadvantages when applied to bird ingestion tests for high-power turbo engines: 1. Mechanical limit: the movement speed of mechanical structures has a physical upper limit, and it is almost impossible to complete 5 high-reliability loading, sealing and launching within 1s, which is prone to jamming, impact or sealing failure; 2. Pressure fluctuation: the same gas tank continuously releases high-pressure gas in a short time, the pressure in the bore cannot be quickly stabilized, resulting in a significant decrease in the muzzle velocity of subsequent shells, which cannot guarantee the consistency of the speed of five bird shells; 3. Single timing control: once the first shot is fired, the timing of subsequent shots is fixed by the mechanical process and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time phase of the propeller; Multi-cannon parallel control refers to using multiple independent gas cannons, each cannon preloaded with a bird shell, triggered by a master control signal to fire simultaneously or with a fixed delay. In the application of bird swallowing test for high-power turboprop engines, the following shortcomings exist: 1. Synchronization error: factors such as response time of each quick-opening valve, slight pressure difference of each gas tank, and friction coefficient difference of each cannon, can cause milliseconds (ms) error in each cannon firing. This error is fatal to a 1020 RPM propeller, enough to make the bird hit the blade instead of entering the gap between the blades; 2. Wake interference: even if five cannons fire simultaneously, the first fired bird shell will form a shock wave at the muzzle, disturbing the trajectory of the subsequent muzzle bird shell ("wake" effect), causing trajectory divergence and subsequent bird shell deviation from the intended trajectory; 3. Heavy control system: five independent high-pressure gas sources and firing systems are very heavy, difficult to adjust and calibrate.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology cannot meet the extreme requirements of firing density, speed, accuracy, and consistency in bird swallowing tests for high-power turboprop engines, and cannot guarantee the reliability, repeatability, and safety of the test.

In the absence of explicit evidence that the above content has been disclosed on the filing date of the present application, the above background art should not be used to evaluate the novelty and inventiveness of the present application.
