[0063] Step S6: the corrected temperature data is transmitted to the control end for real-time display, storage and abnormality judgment, and when the preset threshold is exceeded, an alarm is triggered and information is output.
[0064] The application provides an aero-engine temperature measurement method based on optical fiber sensing, and through optimization of sensitive element design, optical system construction and data processing, a complete temperature collection, processing, analysis and transmission link is formed, and real-time, accurate and anti-interference temperature measurement can be realized under extreme conditions above 2000 DEG C.
[0065] Step S1 includes the following sub-steps:
[0066] Step S101, based on the theory of spectroscopy, the form of action of temperature in the spectral signal is determined, the form of action includes line broadening, intensity ratio and line shape change, based on the theory of spectroscopy and experimental calibration data, a temperature response model of the spectral signal is established, the temperature response model is used to describe the influence law of temperature change on the spectral characteristic parameter, based on the temperature response model of the spectral signal, the fitting correlation degree of different action forms to temperature change is calculated, the parameter meeting the preset threshold is selected as the effective spectral characteristic parameter, and a target spectral characteristic parameter set is formed.
[0067] Step S102, in combination with the engine temperature working condition, a rare earth sensitive material suitable for visible light absorption characteristics is selected, and a temperature sensing equation corresponding to the monotonous spectrum characteristic is established.
[0068] Step S103, the consistency of the temperature sensing equation and the measured spectral signal data within the allowable error range is verified through the temperature environment experiment, and the applicable range of the temperature sensing equation in the temperature interval is established.
[0069] The temperature sensing equation in step S103 meets the following conditions:
[0070] Without external physical reference comparison, the measurement results in the experimental interval are extrapolated to above 2000 DEG C.
[0071] Step S2 includes the following sub-steps:
[0072] Step S201, a rare earth oxide sensitive material is selected, the rare earth oxide sensitive material has a melting point higher than 2100K and has discrete absorption energy levels and significant thermal coupling energy levels.
[0073] Step S202, using borosilicate inorganic adhesive and sol-gel method, the sensitive material is coated or embedded on the surface of the engine blade or the engine inner wall.
[0074] Step S203, the size and heat capacity of the sensitive element are controlled.
[0075] Step S204, in the preparation process of the thermal barrier coating and the ceramic coating, color-developing rare earth ions are added.
[0076] The selection and preparation of the sensitive element in step S2 have the following requirements:
[0077] The selected rare earth oxide sensitive material presents discrete absorption spectral lines in the visible light region and has significant thermal coupling energy levels.
[0078] The color-developing rare earth ion doping needs to maintain mechanical properties and thermal stability in the ceramic thermal barrier coating.
[0079] The overall heat capacity of the sensitive element is lower than a preset heat capacity threshold.
[0080] In order to reduce the intensity of background radiation and avoid strong infrared radiation during combustion, the wavelength range of the detection spectrum is selected in the visible light region. Accordingly, the temperature sensing sensitive material should have transition absorption of visible light. In order to distinguish the continuous blackbody radiation spectrum, the absorption spectrum of the temperature sensing sensitive material should be discrete spectral lines. In order to significantly reflect the influence of temperature on the spectrum, the temperature sensing sensitive material should have thermally coupled energy levels and these energy levels participate in light absorption transition.
[0081] The sensitive material participates in the construction of the sensing system in the form of a sensitive element. The sensitive element should be able to quickly realize heat exchange with the temperature measuring object. Therefore, the sensitive element and the temperature measuring object should have stable and good thermal contact. The sensitive element should be able to realize dynamic thermal equilibrium with the temperature measuring object in real time. Therefore, the heat capacity of the element itself should be small. The sensitive element itself should be able to withstand the super-temperature range to be measured without changing the sensing characteristics.
[0082] Step S3 includes the following sub-steps:
[0083] Step S301, using blackbody radiation as a continuous spectrum light source, and configuring a laser light source to supplement specific band energy according to experimental requirements.
[0084] Step S302, collecting the transmission signal and the reflection signal of the background radiation after the action of the sensitive element through the light collection probe.
[0085] Step S303, using a combination of free space and optical fiber to couple the transmission signal and the reflection signal to the spectrometer for spectral analysis.
[0086] Step S304, setting a light filtering link and an impedance matching link in the optical circuit design, and outputting the spectral signal.
[0087] The complete sensing and detection system includes a light source and a photoelectric conversion device. The light source needs to be determined according to the type of spectrum used in the experiment. The wireless sensing method measures the spectrum by collecting the light signal transmitted in the free space through the optical element.
[0088] Step S4 includes the following sub-steps:
[0089] Step S401, converting the spectral signal into an electrical signal and performing filtering and noise suppression.
[0090] Step S402, baseline correction is performed on the spectral signal to eliminate background drift.
[0091] Step S403, a spectral feature parameter corresponding to the monotonic change of temperature is extracted from the spectral signal, the spectral feature parameter includes an absorption intensity ratio and a spectral line shape parameter, a temperature sensitive parameter is calculated by ratio calculation on the spectral feature parameter.
[0092] Step S404, the calculation amount and speed of the extraction process of step S403 are limited, and the calculation amount and speed are less than the preset calculation amount threshold and speed threshold.
[0093] The collected spectral data needs to be processed by baseline removal, noise reduction and other conventional processes before extracting appropriate spectral features that change monotonically with temperature as temperature sensing signals. This signal must meet certain requirements, and the calculation amount required for extracting the signal should be small to meet the requirements of rapid and real-time testing. It is necessary to consider the dependence on the spectral scanning function of the experimental system to avoid the limitation of the response time characteristics of the system by the spectral scanning time or integration time, and to facilitate the realization of a practical sensor device without wavelength scanning components.
[0094] Step S5 includes the following sub-steps:
[0095] Step S501, the temperature sensitive parameter is substituted into the temperature sensing equation established in step S1 for calculation to obtain real-time temperature data.
[0096] The calculation process includes substituting the temperature sensitive parameter according to the temperature sensing equation coefficient for solving and interpolation calculation to generate real-time temperature data corresponding to the time sequence of the current spectral signal.
[0097] Step S502, the stability of the real-time temperature data is checked, and the discrete abnormal points caused by the fluctuation of the spectral signal are removed, and the sliding average or weighted smoothing method is used to process the continuous sampling results, and the smoothed real-time temperature sequence is output.
[0098] Step S503, when the smoothed real-time temperature sequence enters the temperature interval, the temperature reference data matched with the current engine working condition is extracted from the historical temperature database, and the time sequence is aligned.
[0099] The smoothed real-time temperature sequence and the reference data are jointly analyzed, a polynomial regression algorithm is used to calculate the temperature prediction result in the temperature interval, and the temperature data in the temperature interval is output.
[0100] Step S504, a spectral correction factor is extracted from the spectral signal obtained in step S3, the spectral correction factor reflects the nonlinear response of the spectral feature parameter in the temperature interval.
[0101] The temperature interval temperature data output in step S503 is corrected by using a spectral correction factor to obtain corrected temperature data.
[0102] In the theory of spectroscopy, absolute temperature appears in the form of kT in theoretical expressions of spectral line broadening, fluorescence intensity ratio, energy transfer probability, etc., so it is possible to measure temperature by changes in line width, spectral intensity ratio, and even spectral profile shape. As long as the experimental phenomena and the rules of the theoretical expressions are consistent within the error range, the correctness of the theoretical expressions as the required sensing equation can be proved, and the sensing equation can be directly used without calibration in a higher temperature range than the experimental temperature.
[0103] Step S6 includes the following sub-steps:
[0104] In step S601, the corrected temperature data is transmitted to the control end through an optical fiber.
[0105] In step S602, the corrected temperature data is displayed in real time, stored and trend analyzed at the control end to establish a temperature monitoring database.
[0106] In step S603, when the corrected temperature data exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm mechanism is triggered and alarm information is generated.
[0107] In step S604, the alarm information is transmitted to the engine control system.
[0108] Among the existing spectral temperature measurement principles that meet the conditions, the spectral line broadening method requires a high-resolution spectrometer, and the thermal broadening sensitivity of solid sensitive materials is relatively low. The fluorescence intensity ratio temperature measurement technology is used in a temperature range above 500℃. On the one hand, the continuously increasing blackbody radiation background becomes the baseline of the actual measured spectrum, and the baseline cannot be ideally removed, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. On the other hand, the thermal quenching caused by temperature rise is reflected in the decrease of fluorescence signal intensity, also leading to a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio. Through literature research, based on the measurement results and experience of previous research, the present application forms an absorption spectral intensity ratio temperature measurement mechanism.
[0109] For sensitive materials, the multiple lanthanide 4f electrons have rich split energy levels near the ground state, and suitable near-ground thermal coupling energy levels can be selected, with an energy level spacing of about tens to hundreds of wave numbers; the absorption transition of the discrete energy level to the higher excited state energy level is linear in the spectrum; there is strong absorption in the visible light range, which means that the material has color under white light illumination. The melting point of rare earth oxides is generally more than 2100K. Therefore, it can be determined that the fast selection standard of sensitive materials is: colored, rare earth oxides. Praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, dysprosium oxide and the like are ideal sensitive materials. In order to adapt to higher use temperature, colored multi-component oxides such as rare earth borates, aluminates and silicates can be prepared as sensitive materials according to the material selection standard. The present application will select suitable sensitive materials through literature research and experimental exploration based on the measurement results and experience of previous studies.
[0110] For sensitive elements, the sensitive material is coated on the surface of the object to be measured by using borosilicate inorganic adhesive. When the measured object has a coating, such as the thermal barrier coating of the engine blade, the color-changing rare earth ions can be incorporated into the ceramic-based coating during the preparation of the ceramic-based coating. A small amount of rare earth ion doping will not change the mechanical properties and thermal properties of the ceramic coating, and some rare earths are already listed as toughening agents in the material formula of the coating. The present application will explore different methods and reasonably design the structure of the sensitive element.
[0111] In the design and construction of the optical system, the blackbody radiation background of the detected object itself is also a good continuous spectrum light source, which is suitable for absorption spectrum application. In addition, the experimental system needs to additionally configure a laser light source system, use a light collection probe to aim at the sensitive material (sample), collect the signal light transmitted by the background radiation through the sensitive material, couple it to an optical fiber, and then input it into a spectrometer. The absorption spectrum measurement and analysis system constructed by combining free space with optical fiber is relatively stable and reliable. According to the definition of the sensing signal (spectral characteristic parameter), the intensity data of the transmitted / reflected light is processed, converted into an electrical signal and filtered and denoised.
[0112] In the processing and analysis of signal data, the integral intensity ratio needs to read the absorption intensities of two wave bands, and the result of real-time division operation depends on the theoretical sensing equation corresponding to the temperature, without frequency sweeping process, so that the spectral system detects temperature more quickly and accurately.
[0113] The resistance-voltage conversion of Wheatstone bridge is a division operation, which corresponds to the proportional calculation of light intensity in the bridge analysis method of spectrum. Two specific wavelengths (wave bands) are screened by filters, and impedance photosensitive elements are used as two active arms of the Wheatstone bridge to detect light of two wavelengths respectively, and the output voltage of the bridge is proportional to the light intensity ratio, which directly realizes the photoelectric detection of temperature. The present application will properly process and analyze the signal data according to the specific situation, optimize the processing method of the measurement signal based on the progress of the stage experiment and the sensing performance of the measurement system without passing through the temperature zone, and develop the signal data processing and analysis suitable for the measurement of the aero-engine.
[0114] The present application is based on the theory of spectroscopy, and uses the measured absorption spectrum, emission spectrum and scattering spectrum to obtain the dynamic change of spectral profile, establish the quantum reference of temperature detection expressed by the theory of spectroscopy, obtain a new sensing theory suitable for the measurement of the engine in the super-temperature range, and guide the design of the sensor. Under the background of the establishment of the quantum reference of temperature detection expressed by the theory of spectroscopy, the method of coupling the extraction of spectral characteristics with the fitting of sensing equation is used to guide the design of the sensor and the construction of the system, and the spectroscopic temperature measurement method conforming to the quantum reference is developed, so that a new non-contact optical measurement method suitable for the real-time monitoring requirement of the aero-engine is provided.
