Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compressor technology, specifically relating to a test system and method for testing the life of joint bearings in an aerospace high-pressure swivel compressor. Background Technology

[0002] A swaying disc compressor is a type of compressor with a unique structure. Due to its compact design and high stability, it is frequently used in high-pressure gas supply systems in the aerospace industry. The spherical bearing at the swaying disc end is a key component for the transmission of the swaying disc compressor, located at the connection between the swaying disc and the connecting rod. During operation, the swaying disc oscillates periodically, driving the connecting rod and piston to reciprocate periodically through the spherical bearing structure, thereby compressing the gas within the cylinder.

[0003] Rapid wear and short lifespan of the spherical bearings in aerospace high-pressure swivel compressors have always been key issues restricting compressor performance stability. Due to the high discharge pressure ratio of the compressor and the large combined piston force at each stage, the contact pressure between the spherical friction pairs is high. Furthermore, the use of grease lubrication makes maintaining the lubrication film difficult, resulting in less than ideal lubrication. Therefore, spherical bearing wear is often severe, with a lifespan shorter than expected, sometimes even exhibiting severe wear accompanied by grease carbonization and seizing.

[0004] Due to the complex motion characteristics and periodically changing load features of the swashplate mechanism, existing spherical bearing wear testing machines, both domestically and internationally, cannot achieve the required experimental conditions. On the one hand, the motion state of the spherical friction pairs in the swashplate compressor is complex, and existing testing machines cannot simulate similar motion states. On the other hand, the load on the spherical compressor's spherical friction pairs changes rapidly and periodically with the compression process, while existing testing machines can only achieve constant load conditions. Therefore, the study of wear and failure of spherical bearings in aerospace high-pressure swashplate compressors lacks corresponding experimental conditions, which brings difficulties to the design, analysis, and verification of spherical bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to propose a life test system and method for the spherical bearing of an aerospace high-pressure swivel compressor.

[0036] The present invention will be further described clearly and in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement the present invention based on these descriptions. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention described below are generally only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] This embodiment details a life testing system for aerospace high-pressure oscillating compressor spherical bearings. This testing system aims to evaluate the durability performance of spherical bearings under high-load, reciprocating motion conditions by precisely controlling and monitoring key parameters. The aerospace high-pressure oscillating compressor spherical bearing life testing system consists of three main modules: a drive system A, a core testing system B, and a loading system C. These modules work together to complete the test. Figure 1 As shown.

[0038] The drive system A provides the power required for the test (directly driving the core test system B) and accurately measures the transmitted torque and speed, providing a controllable input to the core test system. The drive system A consists of a drive motor A1, a reducer A2, a torque meter A3, and a speed meter A4. The drive motor A1 provides power and is selected for its stable speed output and sufficient torque capacity. The motor shaft is machined with a keyway or connected via a coupling to the input shaft of the reducer A2, ensuring reliable power transmission. The reducer A2 reduces the output speed and increases the torque, and is selected for its appropriate reduction ratio and load-bearing capacity. The reducer's input end is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor A1 via a keyway or coupling, and its output end is connected to the input end of the torque meter A3 via a keyway or coupling. The reducer's function is to reduce the drive motor's output speed while increasing torque to meet the low-speed, high-torque requirements of the test. The torque meter A3 measures the output torque and is a high-precision instrument with sufficient measurement range and accuracy. The input end of the torque measuring instrument is connected to the output end of the reducer A2 via a keyway or coupling, and its output end is connected to the input end of the speed measuring instrument A4 via a keyway or coupling. The torque measuring instrument measures the torque value transmitted to the core test system in real time, providing a basis for data analysis. The speed measuring instrument A4 is used to measure the output speed, and a speed measuring instrument with sufficient accuracy and response speed is selected. The input end of the speed measuring instrument is connected to the output end of the torque measuring instrument A3 via a keyway or coupling, and its output end is directly or indirectly connected to the core test system to measure the speed of the core test system and can be used as a feedback signal for the control system.

[0039] The core testing system B is used to realize the reciprocating oscillating motion of the spherical plain bearing, provide the installation and fixation of the spherical plain bearing, and monitor temperature and vibration parameters.

[0040] The core test system B comprises a wedge-shaped drive disk B1, a swing disk B2, a spherical bearing assembly B3, a temperature sensor B4, a vibration sensor B5, and a connecting rod assembly B6. The wedge-shaped drive disk B1 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant material. (See attached image.) Figure 1 The overall shape of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 is such that one end face is an inclined plane B11 ( Figure 1 The right side of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 shown), and the other end face ( Figure 1 The left side of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 shown is a cylindrical shape perpendicular to the axis, and the bottom of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 (i.e., Figure 1 The wedge-shaped drive disk B1 shown has a mounting hole or bearing seat at its center on the left side, which is connected to the drive shaft (i.e., the output shaft of the tachometer A4) via a bearing. The right side of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 has an inclined protrusion structure, which is connected to the bottom of the swing disk B2 (i.e., the...) via a bearing. Figure 1 The left side of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 (as shown) contacts the wedge-shaped drive disk B2, forming a sliding surface (i.e., the wedge-shaped drive disk and the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 are slidably connected). The rotational motion of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 is converted into the oscillating motion of the wedge-shaped drive disk B2. Lubricating oil or grease is applied to the contact surface between the wedge-shaped drive disk B1 and the wedge-shaped drive disk B2 to reduce friction and wear. The wedge-shaped drive disk B2 is made of high-strength material, with sufficient rigidity and stability. The bottom of the wedge-shaped drive disk B2 is provided with a groove or bearing seat that mates with the wedge-shaped drive disk B1, allowing the wedge-shaped drive disk B2 to oscillate around the inclined sliding surface (i.e., inclined surface B11) of the wedge-shaped drive disk B1. The wedge-shaped drive disk is connected with an anti-rotation structure to prevent self-rotation. Specifically, anti-rotation rollers are also installed at the bottom of the wedge-shaped drive disk. These rollers are confined within a guide groove of a frame, thus ensuring that the wedge-shaped drive disk can only oscillate back and forth and cannot rotate on its own. Multiple spherical bearing mounting holes B301 are machined on the wedge-shaped drive disk for mounting multiple spherical bearing assemblies B3. The mounting relationship of the spherical bearing assemblies B3 is as follows: Figure 2The spherical plain bearing assembly B3 is used to support and test the spherical plain bearing under test. One end of the spherical plain bearing assembly B3 is installed at a non-central position on the oscillating plate B2, meaning that multiple spherical plain bearing assemblies B3 are distributed around the center of the oscillating plate B2, and multiple spherical plain bearing assemblies B3 are located on the same circumference. The spherical plain bearing mounting hole B301 is machined on the oscillating plate B2 to provide installation space for the spherical plain bearing ball socket B303. The shape and size of the mounting hole precisely match the ball socket B303 to ensure that the ball socket can be stably embedded. The spherical plain bearing mounting threaded hole B302 is machined on the oscillating plate B2 around the spherical plain bearing mounting hole B301 and is used to install the mounting screw B307 of the spherical plain bearing fixing plate B305. The spherical plain bearing ball socket B303 is made of wear-resistant material, and its shape matches the spherical plain bearing mounting hole B301 on the oscillating plate. It has a smooth spherical groove inside to mate with the spherical plain bearing ball head B304. The spherical plain bearing ball head B304 is made of high-strength wear-resistant material and forms a joint pair with the spherical plain bearing ball socket B303. The short rod at the tail end of the spherical plain bearing ball joint B304 (i.e., the threaded rod B3041 connecting the spherical plain bearing ball joint) has threads for detachable connection with the connecting rod assembly B6. The spherical plain bearing retaining plate B305 is used to press the spherical plain bearing ball socket B303, fixing it within the mounting hole B301 of the oscillating plate. The spherical plain bearing retaining plate B305 has multiple holes aligned with the spherical plain bearing mounting threaded holes B302 of the oscillating plate. A lug washer B306 is located between the retaining plate B305 and the mounting screw B307 to increase the clamping force of the mounting screw, preventing it from loosening. The lug of the lug washer B306 is also bent to hold the wire of the temperature sensor. The mounting screw B307 is used to secure the spherical plain bearing retaining plate B305. The temperature sensor B4 is used to measure the temperature near the spherical plain bearing assembly (B3). The temperature sensor B4 uses a thermocouple or thermistor sensor, selecting a model with fast response and high measurement accuracy. On the display plate, a through hole is machined near the ball joint socket B303 of the spherical plain bearing for inserting a temperature sensor. Two temperature sensors are inserted near each spherical plain bearing to improve the reliability of temperature measurement. Specifically, a mounting hole for installing a temperature sensor B4 can be made on the mounting screw B307, and the temperature sensor B4 is inserted into the mounting hole. Two mounting screws B307 are symmetrically arranged on each spherical plain bearing fixing plate B305. The temperature sensor is connected to the data acquisition system to monitor the temperature change of the spherical plain bearing in real time. Its wire is clamped in the ear with ear pad B306. The wire near the temperature measuring head of the temperature sensor B4 has strong resilience, and the restoring force when bent can stabilize it in the temperature measuring hole. The part near the temperature measuring head of the sensor has a certain degree of resilience, and the restoring force generated when bent can stabilize the temperature measuring head in the temperature measuring hole.

[0041] Linkage assembly B6, used to transmit motion and load, is made of high-strength material and possesses sufficient rigidity and bending strength. The installation relationship of linkage assembly B6 is as follows: Figure 3 The linkage assembly includes a linkage assembly connector B604, one end of which ( Figure 3 The left end shown has a connecting thread (specifically a threaded hole) for threaded connection with the ball joint connecting thread rod B3041 of the ball joint of the spherical bearing B304, and the other end of the connecting rod assembly connecting seat B604 ( Figure 3 The right end (as shown) is provided with a connecting thread B603 for the connecting rod assembly. The connecting thread B603 is detachably connected to the connecting threaded sleeve C101 and the fisheye bearing assembly C102. The connecting rod assembly connecting seat B604 has a threaded hole B601 for mounting a vibration sensor B5, and a rope-passing hole B602 to prevent the connecting rod from rotating. The vibration sensor mounting threaded hole B601 is used to mount the vibration sensor B5. The vibration sensor B5 is used to measure vibration; a miniature piezoelectric vibration sensor B501 is selected, which features small size, light weight, and high sensitivity. One vibration sensor is mounted on each connecting rod assembly B6 to measure the vibration during the connecting rod's movement. The vibration sensor is threaded into the threaded hole B601 on the connecting rod assembly and connected to a data acquisition system to monitor the vibration of the connecting rod in real time. The vibration sensor mounting thread B502 is used to connect the miniature piezoelectric vibration sensor B501. The connecting rod anti-rotation rope-passing hole B602 is used to connect an anti-rotation rope to prevent the connecting rod assembly B6 from rotating.

[0042] The threaded sleeve C101 connects the connecting rod assembly B6 and the fisheye bearing assembly C102. Both ends of the threaded sleeve C101 are threaded interfaces. The outer ring of the fisheye bearing assembly C102 has threads and is used to connect with the threaded sleeve C101. The inner ring of the fisheye bearing assembly C102 has a joint for connecting the fisheye bearing C102. The fisheye bearing connecting thread C103 is used to connect the fisheye bearing assembly C102.

[0043] The loading system C applies a dynamically and periodically changing load to the spherical bearing to simulate the actual load conditions when the compressor is working. The load application direction of the loading system C is linked to the motion direction of the core test system B.

[0044] The loading system C comprises a fisheye bearing C1, a force sensor C2, and a loading spring assembly C3. The fisheye bearing C1 is selected to have sufficient load-bearing capacity and rotation angle. Its inner ring is connected to the end of the connecting rod assembly B6 via a threaded connection B603, and its outer ring is connected to the force sensor C2 via a thread. The force sensor C2 is a high-precision force sensor with sufficient measurement range and accuracy. The front end of the force sensor is connected to the fisheye bearing C1 via a thread, and the rear end is connected to the loading spring assembly C3. The force sensor measures the load on the spherical bearing in real time and transmits the data to the data acquisition system. The loading spring assembly C3 is a spring assembly with specific stiffness and deformation. One end of the spring assembly is connected to the force sensor C2, and the other end is fixed to the frame. The pre-compression and stiffness of the spring can be adjusted, thereby controlling the load applied to the spherical bearing. By adjusting the loading spring assembly, the dynamic load on the spherical bearing under actual working conditions can be simulated.

[0045] See Figure 1 In the above scheme, each joint bearing assembly B3 is connected to a connecting rod assembly B6, a fisheye bearing C1, and a loading spring assembly C3.

[0046] The working principle of the experimental system in this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] Drive motor A1 outputs power through reducer A2. Adjusting drive motor A1 achieves speed control consistent with the actual compressor. Reducer A2 drives wedge-shaped drive disc B1 to rotate. The rotational motion of the wedge-shaped drive disc is transmitted to the swing disc B2 via bearing lubrication, causing the swing disc to oscillate reciprocally. The oscillation of the swing disc is transmitted to the loading system C through spherical bearing assembly B3 and connecting rod assembly B6. In the loading system, fisheye bearing C1 is connected to force sensor C2 and interacts with loading spring assembly C3, generating periodic load changes to simulate the actual working environment of the spherical bearing. Temperature sensor B4 and vibration sensor B5 monitor the temperature and vibration data of the spherical bearing in real time. The data acquisition system collects all measurement data for analyzing the lifespan of the spherical bearing.

[0048] The test methods based on this test system include operating condition setting methods, temperature signal-based analysis methods for joint bearing degradation and failure, and vibration signal-based analysis methods for joint bearing degradation and failure.

[0049] Operating condition settings include speed settings and load settings. The speed n of the oscillating plate B2 should be consistent with the actual speed of the oscillating plate compressor, and the loads of each joint should be set accordingly. F I It should be provided by spring force, by adjusting the spring stiffness. K I and pre-compression amount Δ L I To achieve the integrated piston force of each stage of the actual compressor.F NI Corresponding, satisfying F I-min = K I Δ L I = F NI-min , F I-max = K I (Δ) L I +s )= F NI-max In the formula s It is the unidirectional stroke of the spring's reciprocating motion.

[0050] The method for analyzing joint bearing degradation and failure based on temperature signals is as follows: the temperature signal measurement interval is no more than 1 second, and the temperature of each joint is taken as the average value of the measurements from two corresponding temperature sensors. The temperature judgment criteria for joint degradation and failure are as follows: during the stable phase, after power-on, the joint temperature rises and stabilizes at a certain level. T 0, and close to the failure critical temperature T 1 room meets T 0< T 1- T s In the formula T s The temperature safety threshold is set at, for example, 20°C, and the temperature fluctuation is within a certain range. T 1- T a , T 1+ T a ), T a During the stable phase, temperature fluctuations are allowed, such as 5°C; during the degradation phase, joint temperature exceeds the allowable fluctuation range. T 1- T a , T 1+ T a ), and for a period of time t Average temperature within 10 minutes (e.g.) T avg The magnitude of the temperature exceeding the stable temperature is T k , T k A degradation threshold, such as 5°C, is used to determine the failure stage; the joint temperature rises to the critical failure temperature. T 1.

[0051] The method for analyzing joint bearing degradation and failure based on vibration signals is as follows: Vibration signals are measured at frequencies higher than 10kHz, and the spectral characteristics and peak fluctuations are analyzed. The vibration-based criteria for judging joint degradation and failure are as follows: Stable phase: The peak value of the vibration signal under periodic motion stabilizes at a certain level. A Near 0, and close to the critical amplitude of failure A 1 room meets A 0< A 1- A s In the formula A s For temperature safety thresholds, such as 20%. A 1. The amplitude fluctuation is within a certain range ( A 0- A a , A 0+ A a )Inside, A a To allow for a 10% fluctuation in the peak amplitude during the stable phase. A 0; The spectral signal characteristics are stable, and the vibration amplitude of each frequency band is stable within the array [ K Near 0, the absolute value of the fluctuation is less than K a , K a To allow for fluctuations in amplitude at various frequencies during the stable phase, such as 5%. A 0; During the degradation stage, the fluctuation range exceeds the allowable range ( A 0- A a , A 0+ A a ), for a period of time t (e.g., the average maximum amplitude over 10 minutes) A avg The magnitude of the amplitude exceeding the stable amplitude is A k , A k A threshold for determining degradation, such as 5%. A 0, or the vibration amplitude of each frequency band compared to [ K 0] The absolute value of the fluctuation is greater than K a During the failure phase, the fluctuation amplitude rises to the critical failure amplitude. A 1.

[0052] In summary, this invention effectively solves the problem in existing technologies where the actual operating conditions of a swivel compressor cannot be accurately simulated, leading to difficulties in the wear analysis and life prediction of the joint bearings. It also proposes a method for judging the degradation and failure of the joint bearings. This system, through a wedge-shaped drive disk and a swivel structure, can effectively simulate the motion characteristics of the joint bearings in a swivel compressor. By combining a loading spring assembly with a force sensor, high-frequency dynamic periodic loads are applied to the joint bearings, simulating the instantaneous load changes experienced by the joint bearings during compressor operation. The system can perform wear tests on the joint bearings at any speed through stepless speed regulation, comprehensively evaluating the bearing performance under different operating conditions. The system integrates temperature and vibration sensors, enabling real-time temperature and vibration monitoring of the joint bearings under high-frequency reciprocating motion, providing important evidence for rapidly assessing the wear state and failure of the joint friction pairs. The application of this invention will help improve the reliability and performance of swivel compressors, reduce maintenance costs caused by bearing failure, and accelerate the research and development of key components for next-generation aerospace high-pressure swivel compressors.
