Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of compressor blade cascade testing applications, specifically to a compressor blade cascade inlet flow field adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] In aerodynamic experimental research, blade cascade testing is an important experimental method, mainly used to test the aerodynamic performance of turbine blades. It involves replacing a complete annular blade cascade with a partial blade cascade, simulating a real flow environment in a wind tunnel or aerodynamic test rig. Currently, adjustable guide vanes are frequently used in constructing simulated flow environments to accommodate different angles of attack. These adjustable guide vanes typically employ a traditional single-blade structure, rotating as a whole via a rotating shaft.
[0003] However, in practice, the following technical problems often arise when using adjustable guide vanes:
[0004] When the angle changes significantly, a large gap needs to be reserved between the adjustable guide vane and the endwall to reduce friction between the adjustable guide vane and the endwall during rotation. This can lead to increased flow leakage due to gap, resulting in non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field, which undermines the simulation's realism and leads to poor experimental results. Since the adjustable guide vane is adjusted by rotating as a whole using a single-piece structure and a rotating shaft, the angle of the entire adjustable guide vane needs to be adjusted. This results in a large deviation in the angle of overall rotation adjustment, leading to poor experimental results and requiring repeated adjustments to the experimental angle of attack. The experimental procedures are cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0022] The various embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The flow field adjustment device applied to the compressor blade inlet of some embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the angular deviation of the overall rotation adjustment, thereby improving experimental results, reducing the need for repeated adjustments to the experimental angle of attack, shortening the time consumed, and reducing the occurrence of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow leakage, which could damage the simulation's realism, thus improving the accuracy of experimental data and enhancing experimental results. Specifically, the reason for the numerous technical problems of existing flow field adjustment devices applied to compressor blade inlets is that: when large angle changes occur, a large gap needs to be reserved between the adjustable guide vane and the end wall to reduce friction between the adjustable guide vane and the end wall during rotation, causing increased flow leakage and resulting in non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field, damaging the simulation's realism and leading to poor experimental results; since the adjustable guide vane is adjusted by rotating as a whole through a single-piece structure and a rotating shaft, the angle of the single-piece adjustable guide vane needs to be adjusted by overall rotation, resulting in a large angular deviation in the overall rotation adjustment, leading to poor experimental results, requiring repeated adjustments to the experimental angle of attack, making the experimental steps cumbersome and time-consuming. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a flow field adjustment device for the inlet of a compressor blade cascade. The device comprises an end wall, a support and positioning plate, a drive device, and a predetermined number of adjustment devices. The end wall includes an upper arc-shaped end wall and a lower arc-shaped end wall, with the support and positioning plate connected to both the left and right sides of the end wall. Each of the predetermined number of adjustment devices includes a combined blade, a leading-edge connecting rod, a leading-edge drive shaft, a trailing-edge connecting rod, and a trailing-edge drive shaft. The drive device includes a leading-edge drive ring and a trailing-edge drive ring. The combined blade includes a leading-edge blade and a trailing-edge blade. The trailing edge drive ring adjusts the angle of the trailing edge blade via the trailing edge drive shaft and the trailing edge connecting rod. The leading edge drive ring adjusts the angle of the leading edge blade via the leading edge drive shaft and the leading edge connecting rod. Both the upper and lower arc-shaped end walls are provided with end wall mounting holes, and brass graphite bushings are installed in the end wall mounting holes. The gap between the end wall mounting holes and the brass graphite bushings meets the preset gap installation conditions. The middle of both the trailing edge drive shaft and the leading edge drive shaft included in the adjustment device is provided with elastic sealing rings, and the elastic sealing rings are in contact with the brass graphite bushings in the end wall mounting holes.Because the trailing edge drive ring can adjust the angle of the trailing edge blades via the trailing edge drive shaft and the trailing edge connecting rod, and the leading edge drive ring can adjust the angle of the leading edge blades via the leading edge drive shaft and the leading edge connecting rod, the trailing edge blades and the leading edge blades can rotate independently to change and adjust the angle of attack. This allows for small-scale adjustments to the angles of the trailing and leading edge blades to adjust the inflow angle of attack, rather than large-scale adjustments to the overall rotation angle of a single-piece adjustable guide vane. This reduces the overall rotation angle deviation and improves the flexibility of angle adjustment. Furthermore, because the leading and trailing edge blades are adjusted independently at small angles, the clearance between the blades and the endwall can be reduced during large angle changes. Also, because the clearance between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing meets the preset clearance installation conditions, which allow for a micro-clearance assembly between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing. Therefore, the smaller gaps between the blade and the endwall, as well as between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing, reduce the likelihood of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow due to gap leakage, which could compromise the simulation's realism. This improves the accuracy of experimental data and enhances experimental results. Furthermore, it reduces the overall rotation adjustment angle deviation, thereby improving experimental performance, reducing the need for repeated adjustments to the angle of attack, shortening the time required, and minimizing the risk of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow due to gap leakage, thus improving the accuracy of experimental data and enhancing experimental results.

It should be noted that in use, the trailing edge angle disk 9 can display the rotation angle of the trailing edge blade 3 in real time.
[0051] Optionally, the shaft body of the aforementioned leading edge drive shaft 6, which passes through the aforementioned lower arc-shaped end wall 2 and is located within the closed flow channel, can be a second fixed shaft body.

The aforementioned second limiting shaft body can pass through the fixing hole of the aforementioned leading edge blade 4. The middle part of the aforementioned leading edge drive shaft 6 can be embedded in the brass-graphite bushing 14 within the aforementioned lower arc-shaped end wall 2. The shape of the aforementioned second fixed shaft body can be square, to restrict rotation after sealing contact with the fixing hole of the aforementioned leading edge blade 4. The shape of the aforementioned second limiting shaft body can be cylindrical, so that it does not affect the rotation of the overall structure after sealing contact with the limiting hole. The specific shape of the middle part of the aforementioned leading edge drive shaft 5 can be cylindrical. Here, the specific shapes of the aforementioned second fixed shaft body, the aforementioned second limiting shaft body, and the middle part of the aforementioned leading edge drive shaft 6 are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, the shaft of the aforementioned leading-edge drive shaft 6 located outside the aforementioned closed flow channel can be connected to one end of the aforementioned leading-edge connecting rod 13. The other end of the aforementioned leading-edge connecting rod 13 can be connected to the aforementioned leading-edge drive ring 8. Any of the aforementioned preset number of adjusting devices, including the leading-edge drive shaft 6, is connected to one end of the trailing-edge connecting rod 13 and then connected to a leading-edge angle disk 10. The aforementioned leading-edge drive shaft 6 is embedded in the aforementioned leading-edge angle disk 10. Here, the connection method between the aforementioned leading-edge drive shaft 6 and the aforementioned leading-edge angle disk 10 is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of the aforementioned leading-edge angle disk 10 can be one.

Here, the specific shape of the shaft body of the leading edge drive shaft 6 located outside the closed flow channel, the specific shape of the leading edge angle disk 10, the minimum scale of the leading edge angle disk 10, and the number of the leading edge angle disks 10 are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that since the leading edge drive shaft 6 is connected to the leading edge drive ring 8 through the leading edge connecting rod 13, the angle of the leading edge blade 4 can be adjusted by the leading edge drive ring 8. It should also be noted that in use, the leading edge angle disk 10 can display the rotation angle of the leading edge blade 4 in real time.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8 can be connected to drive components. Both the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8 can rotate circumferentially through the connected drive components. The circumferential rotation of the trailing edge drive ring 7 can adjust the angle of each trailing edge blade 3 in the preset number of adjustment devices. The circumferential rotation of the leading edge drive ring 8 can adjust the angle of each leading edge blade 4 in the preset number of adjustment devices. The leading edge drive ring 8 can rotate each leading edge blade 4 included in the preset number of adjustment devices to the same angle. The trailing edge drive ring 7 can rotate each trailing edge blade 3 included in the preset number of adjustment devices to the same angle. The angles of the leading edge blade 4 and the trailing edge blade 3 included in the preset number of adjustment devices can be the same or different. Specifically, the circumferential rotation of the trailing edge drive ring 7 can simultaneously adjust the angle of each trailing edge blade 3 in the preset number of adjustment devices, and the circumferential rotation of the leading edge drive ring 8 can simultaneously adjust the angle of each leading edge blade 4 in the preset number of adjustment devices. The aforementioned drive component can be a stepper motor. Here, the specific type of drive component is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. This allows for the same angle for all leading-edge blades and the same angle for all trailing-edge blades.
[0054] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem two often arises: In wind farm testing scenarios, the compressor blade inlet flow field adjustment device, after long-term use in wind farm testing, has experienced wear on some blades, resulting in poor accuracy of the overall wind farm test data; in multi-condition rapid scanning scenarios, motor failure can cause the drive ring to misjudge the angle dial scale and exceed the limit blade angle threshold, leading to equipment damage and flow field distortion. The conventional solution to this technical problem two is generally to either replace the entire blade inlet adjustment device or set an angle threshold to trigger an emergency stop. However, considering the drawbacks of replacing the entire blade inlet adjustment device and setting an angle threshold to trigger an emergency stop, and leveraging the advantages of our organization in the research and development of compressor blade inlet flow field adjustment devices, we have decided to adopt the following solution:
[0055] Optionally, the inner wall of each end wall mounting hole of the upper arc-shaped end wall 1 and the lower arc-shaped end wall 2 can be semi-permanently fitted with a wear-resistant substrate. The wear-resistant substrate can be a hardened steel bushing. The outer surface of the hardened steel bushing and the end wall mounting hole can be connected by an interference fit. The brass graphite bushing 14 can be embedded in the wear-resistant substrate. The gap between the wear-resistant substrate and the brass graphite bushing 14 can meet the target gap installation conditions. Both the brass graphite bushing 14 and the combined blade are detachable. Adjustable mechanical stops can be installed at both ends of the circumferential rotation track of the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8. The material of the installed adjustable mechanical stops can be hardened steel. The installed adjustable mechanical stops can be bolted to the reserved threaded hole of the upper arc-shaped end wall 1 or bolted to the reserved threaded hole of the lower arc-shaped end wall 2. The adjustable mechanical stop contact surface can be embedded with a PTFE gasket to reduce metal-on-metal collision damage to the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8. The wear-resistant substrate can be made of fully hardened steel. The specific material of the wear-resistant substrate is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The connection between the outer surface of the hardened steel bushing and the end-wall mounting hole can be an interference fit to improve the stability of the wear-resistant substrate within the end-wall mounting hole. The target clearance installation condition can be a micro-clearance assembly between the wear-resistant substrate and the brass-graphite bushing 14 to reduce gas flow leakage caused by the presence of gaps. The range of the micro-clearance assembly is not limited; for example, the gap range can be 0.01–0.05 mm. The design of the wear-resistant substrate allows for replacement of only the damaged blade without damaging the end-wall mounting hole when blade damage occurs. The pre-drilled threaded hole can be used for bolt fixing of the adjustable mechanical stop. The aforementioned circumferential rotation trajectory represents the motion trajectory of the trailing edge drive ring 7 reciprocating to adjust the trailing edge blade angle, and the motion trajectory of the leading edge drive ring 8 reciprocating to adjust the leading edge blade angle. The adjustable mechanical stop can be square in shape. Here, the specific shape of the adjustable mechanical stop is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that the material of the adjustable mechanical stop and the connection method between the adjustable mechanical stop and the end wall are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gasket is embedded in the contact surface of the adjustable mechanical stop, which can reduce metal-on-metal collision damage to the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8. It should be noted that the material of the embedded gasket is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The adjustable mechanical stop can directly and physically intercept the overtravel of the drive ring, limiting the rotation of the entire blade, and reducing the possibility of the drive ring exceeding the limit blade angle threshold, thus reducing equipment damage and flow field distortion.
[0056] The above optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem of "causing some damage to some blades, resulting in affecting the overall wind field test data; causing the drive ring to break through the limit blade angle threshold, leading to equipment damage and flow field distortion." The specific factors causing some damage to some blades and affecting the overall wind field test data are as follows: In wind field testing scenarios, the compressor blade inlet flow field adjustment device is used for a long time, causing some blades to wear, resulting in poor accuracy of the overall wind field test data; in multi-condition rapid scanning scenarios, due to motor failure, the drive ring misjudges the angle dial scale and breaks through the limit blade angle threshold, leading to equipment damage and flow field distortion. If the above factors are resolved, the need to completely replace the inlet flow field adjustment device of the blade cascade can be reduced, and the occurrence of the drive ring exceeding the limit blade angle threshold can be decreased. To achieve this effect, the inner wall of the end wall mounting hole used in this embodiment is provided with a wear-resistant substrate to reduce wear on the equipment when replacing components. The material is hardened steel to improve the long-term performance of the wear-resistant substrate. The interference fit setting can increase the stability of the wear-resistant substrate installation and reduce the risk of falling off. Adjustable mechanical blocks can be installed at both ends of the circumferential rotation track of the aforementioned trailing edge drive ring and the aforementioned leading edge drive ring. These blocks can directly and physically intercept the overtravel of the drive ring, limit the rotation of the entire blade, reduce the occurrence of the drive ring exceeding the limit blade angle threshold, and reduce the occurrence of flow field distortion caused by equipment damage.
[0057] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem three often arises: In compressor adaptability tests simulating dusty environments, the lack of a dedicated filtration structure at the inlet of traditional compressor blade cascade test devices allows impurities such as pipe debris and dust agglomerates carried in the airflow to directly enter the closed flow channel, causing test interruptions, affecting the continuity of test data, and consequently resulting in poor experimental results. The conventional solution to this technical problem three is generally to use an unprotected grid design. However, considering the drawbacks of an unprotected grid design and leveraging the advantages of our organization in developing compressor blade cascade inlet flow field adjustment devices, we have decided to adopt the following solution:
[0058] Optionally, the aforementioned metal mesh cover can be disposed at the air inlet end of the aforementioned closed flow channel. The metal mesh cover can be connected to the support positioning plate, upper arc-shaped end wall, and lower arc-shaped end wall at the air inlet of the aforementioned closed flow channel. The mesh aperture of the aforementioned metal mesh cover can be in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm, used to filter particles with a diameter greater than 0.5 mm in the airflow flowing into the aforementioned closed flow channel. Both sides of the aforementioned metal mesh cover can be sprayed with a polyurethane coating containing microcapsules. The thickness of the aforementioned polyurethane coating can be in the range of 0.05 to 0.1 mm. The aforementioned microcapsules can be made of polyurea-formaldehyde shell material, encapsulating liquid polyurethane inside. The aforementioned microcapsules are uniformly dispersed in the coating and have a particle size of 10 to 50 μm. The aforementioned air inlet end can be the side where the gas flows into the aforementioned closed flow channel. The material of the aforementioned metal mesh cover can be 304 stainless steel. The thickness range of the aforementioned polyurethane coating is such that it does not block the mesh aperture of the aforementioned metal mesh cover and does not change the outline of the aforementioned metal mesh cover. The particle size of the aforementioned microcapsules is sufficient to allow for the self-healing of the metal mesh coating, while also not interfering with the flow field or clogging the mesh openings of the metal mesh. Here, no specific limitations are placed on the material of the metal mesh, the thickness of the polyurethane coating, or the particle size of the microcapsules; these can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0059] The above optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem of "impurities such as pipe debris and dust agglomerates carried in the airflow directly entering the closed flow channel, causing test interruption, affecting the continuity of test data, and thus resulting in poor experimental results." The specific factors causing impurities in the airflow, leading to test interruption, affecting the continuity of test data, and resulting in poor experimental results are as follows: In compressor adaptability tests simulating dusty environments, because the inlet of traditional compressor blade test devices lacks a dedicated filtration structure, impurities such as pipe debris and dust agglomerates carried in the airflow directly enter the closed flow channel, causing test interruption, affecting the continuity of test data, and thus resulting in poor experimental results. If the above factors are resolved, the occurrence of test interruptions can be reduced, and the impact on the continuity of test data can be decreased. To achieve this effect, the embodiments of this disclosure design a metal mesh cover to reduce the intrusion of impurity particles into the closed flow channel, and design a polyurethane coating containing microcapsules on the metal mesh cover. When cracks appear in the metal mesh cover, the cracks will squeeze and puncture the microcapsules on the path of crack propagation during the crack propagation process. The liquid polyurethane inside the microcapsules flows out and solidifies within 30 to 60 seconds after contact with air, automatically filling the crack gaps, restoring the structural integrity and filtration sealing of the metal mesh cover, and reducing the entry of impurity particles into the closed flow channel through the cracks.
[0060] In the process of adopting technical solutions to address the aforementioned technical problems, the following technical problem often arises: In high-precision angle-of-attack simulation tests, due to mechanical motor transmission clearances and airflow pulsations, deviations occur between the actual blade angle and the set angle value, leading to an increase in the angle-of-attack error of the outlet flow field. This severely affects the reliability of the blade aerodynamic data, necessitating repeated simulation tests and resulting in prolonged simulation time. The conventional solution to this fourth technical problem is to measure all blade angles using a laser tracker before the test and manually adjust them to forcibly eliminate the deviation. However, considering the drawbacks of manually adjusting the preload of the plug screws to forcibly eliminate the deviation, and leveraging the advantages of our organization in developing compressor blade inlet flow field adjustment devices, we have decided to adopt the following solution:
[0061] Optionally, a pressure sensor group can be installed inside the aforementioned closed flow channel. An angle sensor group, a drive ring controller group, a switchable permanent magnet lock group, an electromagnetic engager group, a circuit breaker, and a processor can be installed outside the aforementioned closed flow channel. The pressure sensor group, angle sensor group, drive ring controller group, switchable permanent magnet lock group, electromagnetic engager group, circuit breaker, and processor can all be communicatively connected. The pressure sensor group can include up to four pressure sensors. Two pressure sensors in the pressure sensor group can be installed on the upper arc-shaped end wall inside the aforementioned closed flow channel, and two pressure sensors can be installed on the lower arc-shaped end wall inside the aforementioned closed flow channel, forming a sensor group capable of detecting the pressure data generated by the fluid within the closed flow channel. The pressure sensor group can be embedded, which does not affect the flow field stability inside the closed flow channel. The angle sensor group can include an angle sensor installed on the leading edge angle disk and an angle sensor installed on the trailing edge angle disk. The aforementioned angle sensor group can be used to monitor in real time the angles displayed on the leading edge angle disk and the trailing edge angle disk at the current moment. The angle sensor group can contain two angle sensors. The drive ring controller group can be installed outside the aforementioned closed flow channel. The drive ring controller group can be a controller that controls the circumferential rotation of the leading edge drive ring and the trailing edge drive ring. The drive ring controller group can include a leading edge drive ring controller and a trailing edge drive ring controller. The leading edge drive ring controller and the leading edge drive ring are embedded and fixed, and the trailing edge drive ring controller and the trailing edge drive ring are also embedded and fixed.
[0062] For example, the drive ring controller can be a stepper motor controller, capable of receiving angle signals output by the processor, converting electrical pulse signals into angular displacement of the stepper motor, controlling the rotation angle of the drive ring, and then driving the combined blades through the connecting rod and drive shaft to achieve angle adjustment. The number of drive ring controllers in the aforementioned drive ring controller group can be two. The processor can be located on the side of the upper arc-shaped end wall 1 located outside the closed flow channel. Here, the number and model of the aforementioned pressure sensor group, angle sensor group, and drive ring controller group are not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs. The aforementioned circuit breaker can be adjacent to the aforementioned electromagnetic attractor group. The switchable permanent magnet locker in the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet locker group can be a switchable permanent magnet locker that locks when energized and releases when de-energized. One switchable permanent magnet locker in the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet locker group is fixed to the aforementioned leading edge drive ring with screws, and the other switchable permanent magnet locker is fixed to the aforementioned trailing edge drive ring with screws. When the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet locker group is connected to the aforementioned drive device, a working distance needs to be maintained between them. The working distance can be in the range of 0.5 to 2 cm. Here, the connection method between the switchable permanent magnet locking assembly and the drive device, and the gap range, are not specifically limited. The electromagnetic actuator in the electromagnetic actuator assembly can be an electromagnetic actuator that locks when energized and releases when de-energized. The switchable permanent magnet locking assembly can be installed on the drive device so that it rotates with the drive device during blade adjustment and locks the drive device after adjustment. The electromagnetic actuator assembly can be installed on the side of the support positioning plate outside the closed flow channel to attract it, so that when the drive device needs to be fixed during adjustment, the switchable permanent magnet locking assembly can work together with the switchable permanent magnet locking assembly to lock and fix the angle of the combined blades. One electromagnetic actuator in the electromagnetic actuator assembly is fixed with screws to the side of the support positioning plate outside the closed flow channel, and the other electromagnetic actuator is fixed with screws to the side of the other support positioning plate outside the closed flow channel. When the aforementioned electromagnetic actuator is connected to the aforementioned support positioning plate assembly, a preset distance must be maintained between them. This preset distance can range from 0.5 to 2 cm. No specific limitations are made regarding the connection method or the preset distance range between the electromagnetic actuator and the support positioning plate. The aforementioned circuit breaker can be energized and locked when the angle of the combined blades needs to be fixed, and de-energized and released when locking is not required, thereby releasing the angle of the combined blades. The number of the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet locking assembly can be two. The number of the aforementioned electromagnetic actuator assembly can be two. No specific limitations are made regarding the installation position and model of the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet locking assembly, the aforementioned circuit breaker, and the aforementioned electromagnetic actuator; adjustments can be made according to actual needs.For example, the switchable permanent magnet lock can be an e-magnetsukLN031A / B switchable permanent magnet lock; the circuit breaker can be a miniature circuit breaker (MCB); the aforementioned electromagnetic actuator can be a KLFD4.25 electromagnetic actuator. For example, the angle sensor can be a TMR3110 angle sensor. The aforementioned processor can be an instrument for processing various information. For example, the processor can be a central processing unit. The aforementioned pressure sensor group, the aforementioned angle sensor group, the aforementioned drive ring controller group, and the aforementioned processor are all communicatively connected. It should be noted that the aforementioned communication connections can include, but are not limited to, 3G / 4G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultrawideband) connections, and other currently known or future developed communication methods. Here, the specific locations of the aforementioned pressure sensor group, the aforementioned angle sensor group, the aforementioned drive ring controller group, the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet lock group, the aforementioned electromagnetic actuator group, the aforementioned circuit breaker, and the aforementioned processor are not limited and can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0063] The first step involves receiving pressure information from the aforementioned pressure sensor group regarding the closed flow channel, and receiving current angle information from the aforementioned angle sensor group regarding the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade. The pressure information represents the pressure values of the upper and lower arc-shaped endwalls at the current moment. The current angle information represents the angles of the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade included in the combined blade assembly at the current moment.
[0064] The second step is to determine the flow state information of the closed flow channel based on the aforementioned pressure information. The flow state characteristics may include gas velocity and gas flow rate. The gas velocity characterizes the speed of the gas, and the gas flow rate characterizes the flow rate. In practice, the processor can determine the preset fluid characteristic correspondence information corresponding to the aforementioned pressure information from a preset fluid characteristic correspondence information set. Then, the flow state information included in the determined preset fluid characteristic correspondence information is used as the flow state information corresponding to the closed flow channel. The preset fluid characteristic correspondence information in the aforementioned preset fluid characteristic correspondence information set can characterize the correspondence between pressure information and fluid state information. For example, the preset fluid characteristic correspondence information could be: "Pressure information: Upper arc-shaped end wall pressure can be 520 Pa, lower arc-shaped end wall pressure can be 510 Pa; Fluid state information: Gas flow rate can be 0.024 m³ / s." 3 / s, the gas flow rate can be 1.2m / s.
[0065] The third step involves determining the current angular position information of the combined blade based on the current angle information of the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade. The current angular position information of the combined blade represents the angle between the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade included in the combined blade at the current moment. In practice, the processor can input the current angle information into a sensor calibration and angle analysis model to obtain the current angular position information of the combined blade. This sensor calibration and angle analysis model can be a model that takes the current angle information of the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade collected by the angle sensor group as input and the current angular position information of the combined blade as output. This sensor calibration and angle analysis model can be trained based on the correspondence between the current angle information collected by the angle sensor group and the current angular position information of the combined blade. For example, the sensor calibration and angle analysis model can be a linear regression model.
[0066] The fourth step involves determining the target angle value of the combined blades based on the current angular position information and the flow state information. The target angle value represents the required angle between the leading-edge blade and the trailing-edge blade of the combined blade. The processor can determine the corresponding preset target angle value information from a preset target angle value correspondence information set. Then, the target angle value included in the determined preset target angle value correspondence information is used as the target angle value for the combined blade. The preset target angle value correspondence information in the preset target angle value correspondence information set represents the correspondence between the current angular position information, the flow state information, and the target angle value of the combined blades. For example, the preset target angle value correspondence information could be: "Current angular position information: the angle of the leading-edge blade can be 45°, and the angle of the trailing-edge blade can be 30°; fluid state information: the gas flow rate can be 0.024 m³ / s." 3 / s, the gas flow rate can be 1.2m / s; the target angle value can be 15°.
[0067] Fifth, in response to determining that the current angular position information differs from the target angular value, the processor controls the switchable permanent magnet lock group to release the drive device, and controls the drive ring controller group to rotate the combined blade according to the target angular value of the combined blade. In practice, firstly, in response to determining that the current angular position information differs from the target angular value, the processor can control the circuit breaker to disconnect the power, so that the electromagnetic attractor and the switchable permanent magnet lock group no longer restrict the drive device, thus not restricting the adjustment of the drive device. Then, the processor can send the target angular value of the combined blade to the drive ring controller group, so that the drive ring controller group controls the trailing edge drive ring 7 and the leading edge drive ring 8 to rotate the combined blade according to the target angular value, thereby adjusting the angle of the combined blade.
[0068] Step six: In response to detecting the rotation end signal of the aforementioned drive ring controller group, control the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet lock group to lock the aforementioned drive device, and execute the aforementioned detection step again. The aforementioned rotation end signal indicates that the aforementioned drive ring controller group has stopped rotating the aforementioned combined blades. In practice, in response to detecting the rotation end signal of the aforementioned drive ring controller group, the aforementioned processor can control the aforementioned circuit breaker to be energized, so that the aforementioned electromagnetic attractor and the aforementioned switchable permanent magnet lock group restrict the aforementioned drive device, thereby limiting the rotation of the aforementioned drive device.
[0069] The above-described optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem of "a deviation between the actual blade angle and the preset angle value, leading to an increase in the angle of attack error of the outlet flow field, which seriously affects the reliability of the blade aerodynamic data". The specific factors causing the deviation between the actual blade angle and the preset angle value, leading to an increase in the angle of attack error of the outlet flow field, and seriously affecting the reliability of the blade aerodynamic data are as follows: In high-precision angle of attack simulation tests, due to mechanical motor transmission clearance and airflow pulsation, a deviation between the actual blade angle and the set angle value occurs, leading to an increase in the angle of attack error of the outlet flow field, seriously affecting the reliability of the blade aerodynamic data, thus requiring repeated simulation tests, resulting in a long simulation test time. If the above factors are addressed, the deviation between the actual blade angle and the preset angle value can be reduced, leading to an increase in the angle of attack error of the outlet flow field. To achieve this effect, the compressor blade inlet flow field adjustment device disclosed herein first uses the aforementioned pressure sensor group to collect pressure information inside the aforementioned closed flow channel. Based on the pressure information, it can be determined whether the pressure information of the current combined blade is within the target flow field state. Based on the current angle information and the preset sensor calibration and angle analysis model, the current angle position information of the combined blade is determined. Based on the current angle position information and the flow state characteristics of the fluid inside the aforementioned closed flow channel, the target angle value of the combined blade can be determined, so as to adjust the angle of the combined blade. Based on the target angle value, the drive ring controller group is controlled to adjust the angle of the combined blade, thereby achieving the optimal adjustment angle of the combined blade. After the adjustment is completed, it is also necessary to check whether the angle of the combined blade is the same as the target angle value. If they are different, a second adjustment will be made. The device will continuously monitor the pressure information and current angle position information of the combined blade, and adjust the angle of the combined blade in real time. This reduces the transmission backlash and airflow pulsation in the mechanical motor, thus mitigating deviations between the actual and preset blade angles. It also reduces the expansion of the exit flow field angle of attack error and improves the reliability of the blade aerodynamic data. The aforementioned flow field adjustment device also includes the switchable permanent magnet lock group, the electromagnetic actuator group, and the circuit breaker. When blade angle adjustment is not required, the circuit breaker can be energized, locking the drive device with the switchable permanent magnet lock group and the electromagnetic actuator group. When blade angle adjustment is required, the circuit breaker can be de-energized, releasing the drive device with the switchable permanent magnet lock group and the electromagnetic actuator group.
[0070] The various embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The flow field adjustment device applied to the compressor blade inlet of some embodiments of this disclosure can reduce the angular deviation of the overall rotation adjustment, thereby improving experimental results, reducing the need for repeated adjustments to the experimental angle of attack, shortening the time consumed, and reducing the occurrence of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow leakage, which could damage the simulation's realism, thus improving the accuracy of experimental data and enhancing experimental results. Specifically, the reason for the numerous technical problems of existing flow field adjustment devices applied to compressor blade inlets is that: when large angle changes occur, a large gap needs to be reserved between the adjustable guide vane and the end wall to reduce friction between the adjustable guide vane and the end wall during rotation, causing increased flow leakage and resulting in non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field, damaging the simulation's realism and leading to poor experimental results; since the adjustable guide vane is adjusted by rotating as a whole through a single-piece structure and a rotating shaft, the angle of the single-piece adjustable guide vane needs to be adjusted by overall rotation, resulting in a large angular deviation in the overall rotation adjustment, leading to poor experimental results, requiring repeated adjustments to the experimental angle of attack, making the experimental steps cumbersome and time-consuming. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a flow field adjustment device for the inlet of a compressor blade cascade. The device comprises an end wall, a support and positioning plate, a drive device, and a predetermined number of adjustment devices. The end wall includes an upper arc-shaped end wall and a lower arc-shaped end wall, with the support and positioning plate connected to both the left and right sides of the end wall. Each of the predetermined number of adjustment devices includes a combined blade, a leading-edge connecting rod, a leading-edge drive shaft, a trailing-edge connecting rod, and a trailing-edge drive shaft. The drive device includes a leading-edge drive ring and a trailing-edge drive ring. The combined blade includes a leading-edge blade and a trailing-edge blade. The trailing edge drive ring adjusts the angle of the trailing edge blade via the trailing edge drive shaft and the trailing edge connecting rod. The leading edge drive ring adjusts the angle of the leading edge blade via the leading edge drive shaft and the leading edge connecting rod. Both the upper and lower arc-shaped end walls are provided with end wall mounting holes, and brass graphite bushings are installed in the end wall mounting holes. The gap between the end wall mounting holes and the brass graphite bushings meets the preset gap installation conditions. The middle of both the trailing edge drive shaft and the leading edge drive shaft included in the adjustment device is provided with elastic sealing rings, and the elastic sealing rings are in contact with the brass graphite bushings in the end wall mounting holes.Because the trailing edge drive ring can adjust the angle of the trailing edge blades via the trailing edge drive shaft and the trailing edge connecting rod, and the leading edge drive ring can adjust the angle of the leading edge blades via the leading edge drive shaft and the leading edge connecting rod, the trailing edge blades and the leading edge blades can rotate independently to change and adjust the angle of attack. This allows for small-scale adjustments to the angles of the trailing and leading edge blades to adjust the inflow angle of attack, rather than large-scale adjustments to the overall rotation angle of a single-piece adjustable guide vane. This reduces the overall rotation angle deviation and improves the flexibility of angle adjustment. Furthermore, because the leading and trailing edge blades are adjusted independently at small angles, the clearance between the blades and the endwall can be reduced during large angle changes. Also, because the clearance between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing meets the preset clearance installation conditions, which allow for a micro-clearance assembly between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing. Therefore, the smaller gaps between the blade and the endwall, as well as between the endwall mounting hole and the brass-graphite bushing, reduce the likelihood of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow due to gap leakage, which could compromise the simulation's realism. This improves the accuracy of experimental data and enhances experimental results. Furthermore, it reduces the overall rotation adjustment angle deviation, thereby improving experimental performance, reducing the need for repeated adjustments to the angle of attack, shortening the time required, and minimizing the risk of non-physical abrupt changes in the flow field caused by increased flow due to gap leakage, thus improving the accuracy of experimental data and enhancing experimental results.
