Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engine technology, and specifically relates to a bearing inner ring temperature measurement structure and method for solving axial movement. Background Technology
[0002] The instruction manual for the accessory housing of an aero-engine transmission system must specify the bearing temperature during system operation; therefore, it is necessary to measure the bearing temperature of the transmission system. Numerous bearings exist within the accessory housing. Currently, a series of temperature sensor installation methods and temperature measurement methods have been developed for the inner and outer ring end faces of these bearings. At present, a temperature sensing component made of fluorine-coated thermocouples is commonly used, installed via energy storage spot welding, to measure the temperature of the bearing inner ring end face. A schematic diagram of the measurement method can be found [see diagram]. Figure 1 This method can basically achieve temperature measurement of the bearing inner ring end face in the confined space within the accessory housing, but it sometimes cannot fully meet the requirements of complex sensor leads, especially when there is axial movement between the bearing and the lead shaft after assembly. Therefore, a bearing inner ring end face temperature testing structure based on a fluorine-coated thermocouple was designed. This testing structure can meet the above-mentioned technical difficulties and solve the problem of testing the inner ring end face temperature of the bearing and lead shaft in aero-engine accessory housings with axial movement.
[0003] (1) The wall temperature is measured by using temperature-indicating paint. The measurement result is the highest temperature value under the maximum state during the engine test process. Real-time temperature data cannot be obtained. Moreover, the temperature-indicating paint test requires special testing. There are strict requirements for the test component materials and test environment. If it is contaminated by oil or carbon deposits, the temperature-indicating paint test results cannot be interpreted.
[0004] (2) Non-contact temperature measurement technologies such as infrared and fiber optic cannot meet the testing needs of complex and confined spaces.
[0005] (3) The current thermocouple temperature measurement method cannot fully meet the actual requirements of the reliability of complex lead path installation. Summary of the Invention
