TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a mechanical adjusting tool for the extension and retraction of a vectoring nozzle actuator cylinder. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, more and more aero-engines are equipped with vectoring deflection nozzles. In order to prevent deformation and damage of the nozzle mechanism, six limit blocks need to be installed in the guide rail groove of the vectoring nozzle during transportation and long-term storage of part of the vectoring engines. The length of the driving actuator cylinder of the nozzle needs to be adjusted during the installation and dismounting of the limit blocks. At present, when the installation and dismounting operations are performed on a test bench, the bench control system needs to be used to complete the connection of all the bench cables and control the extension and retraction of the nozzle actuator cylinder by using the bench host computer, and two bench press vehicles need to be connected to provide power oil sources. Since the press joint of the nozzle needs to be dismounted during the pressing, the fuel system needs to be filled with oil and aerated after the restoration of the assembly. The above work needs the cooperation of multiple professionals such as control and test, and at least 3 test workers and 1 controller are needed.
[0003] The prior art solution of the vectoring nozzle limit block uses a press vehicle to provide power, uses a bench to provide control cables, an electrical control system and an engine controller host computer to control the engine tail nozzle, and the installation of the limit block can be realized only under the cooperation of multiple systems and multiple personnel.
[0004] The conventional length adjustment of the nozzle actuator cylinder in the whole machine state needs to rely on the electrical system of the engine and the test bench, a bench press vehicle, an aerating tool and the like, and the dependence on equipment is high.
[0005] 2) The conventional length adjustment of the nozzle actuator cylinder needs to dismount the external pipeline connection press vehicle, provide a power oil source, use a host computer for control, and after completion, the pipeline needs to be restored and filled with oil and aerated, and the operation is too complex, multiple operators are needed, and the host computer operation post has high technical requirements.
[0006] 3) When the length of the nozzle actuator cylinder is normally adjusted and the installation or dismounting of the limit block is completed, at least 4 people still need to work together for about 2.5 hours under the premise of not considering the installation of the engine bench, and the operation cycle is long and the efficiency is low.
[0007] 4) The press vehicle, host computer and engine controller used in the conventional method all need different types of power supply, the pressing process and the oil filling and aerating after completion involve fuel consumption, and the whole work needs certain energy consumption. SUMMARY
