Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for controlling the spatial orientation of a multi-stage rotor inertial spindle, belonging to the field of aero-engine assembly technology. Background Technology

[0002] As highly complex and precise power machinery, the assembly quality of the rotor system of an aero-engine determines its overall performance and lifespan. Under high-speed rotation, the misalignment between the rotor's principal axis of inertia and its geometric axis of rotation can induce significant unbalanced excitation forces and inertial moments, which is one of the main causes of severe engine vibration and even operational failure. To control this misalignment, scholars and research institutions both domestically and internationally have developed assembly methods based on geometric error propagation control. The core of this technology lies in obtaining the form and position errors of each stage of the rotor through precise measurement, predicting their cumulative effects at different assembly angles using a spatial coordinate transformation model, and finally optimizing the assembly angles of each stage of the rotor using geometric quantities such as centroidal coaxiality as the objective function, thereby minimizing the misalignment of the principal axis of inertia. This method improves the initial balance of the rotor to a certain extent and reduces vibrations introduced during assembly. However, with the continuous improvement of the performance and reliability requirements of aero-engines, the aforementioned control strategies centered on geometric accuracy have shown limitations.

[0003] First, current technologies lack steps to directly integrate reliability indicators into the assembly process, and a clear, quantifiable relationship has not yet been established between the optimization goals of the assembly process and the reliability of the system. For example, in pursuit of ultimate coaxiality, traditional optimization algorithms may result in an assembly angle that leads to uneven distribution of preload on some critical connecting bolts or localized stress concentration in specific thin-walled rotor sections. While this assembly state may be geometrically optimal, it could reduce the fatigue life of that component, making it a weak link in the overall rotor system's reliability and thus failing to meet the engine's design requirements for high reliability and long service life.

[0004] Secondly, current control strategies lack sufficient adaptability in terms of component manufacturing tolerances, material property dispersion, and the inherent uncertainties of the assembly process. Once a key parameter in the assembly deviates from the assumptions of the theoretical model, the original basis for optimal pose calculation no longer exists, and the system cannot dynamically adjust based on these real-time feedbacks, leading to an uncontrollable risk in the final assembly quality.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need in this field for a new method that can deeply integrate the reliability allocation process into the assembly control process, so as to realize the transformation from "precision assembly" to "reliable assembly" and ensure that the aero-engine rotor system not only meets the precision requirements during assembly, but also has a certain degree of reliability throughout its entire life cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of insufficient control precision, lack of reliability allocation, and lack of adaptive capability in existing technologies, this invention proposes a multi-level rotor inertial spindle spatial pose control method based on reliability allocation.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is as follows: The steps of the present invention include: Step 1: Set up the measurement system, measure and calculate relevant parameters; Step 2: Perform inertial principal axis spatial pose characterization; Step 3: Establish the relationship between reliability and inertial principal axis spatial pose; Step 4: Perform reliability allocation; Step 5: Perform multi-stage rotor inertial spindle spatial pose control.

[0008] Furthermore, in step 2, two vectors, principal axis offset and principal axis tilt, are selected to characterize the spatial pose of the rotor's principal axis.

[0009] Furthermore, in step 3, the spatial pose reliability of the inertial principal axis is defined as the probability that both coaxiality and tilt angle meet the design requirements.

[0010] Furthermore, step 4 employs a reliability allocation method that considers dynamic adaptive weights, the specific steps of which include: Step 401: Decompose system reliability indicators; Step 402: Perform dynamic weight allocation; introduce dynamic weight factors and adjust the reliability allocation weights for real-time measurement data; Step 403: Perform adaptive reliability weight allocation. Based on real-time data, adaptively redistribute the reliability of each stage and unify the reliability data to... Inside.

[0011] Furthermore, step 5 includes the following steps: Step 501: Construct the state space. Including time t Overall posture System reliability Positional errors at each stage and dynamic weights ; Step 502: Construct the action space. Output phase of each stage of rotor assembly Adjustment amount This enables optimized indexing and assembly. Step 503: Set the reward function. It is responsible for guiding the intelligent agent to learn, thereby improving its reliability, reducing weighted pose error, avoiding excessive control actions, and ensuring a smooth control process. Step 504: Design a deep reinforcement learning network. The network is designed using the Actor-Critic framework, where the Actor network outputs actions based on the state, the Critic network evaluates the value of the actions, and the gradient ascent method is used to update the parameters of the Actor network. Step 505: Conduct training and optimization. By interacting with the environment, continuously learn and adjust error parameters to minimize the error. Step 506: Perform dynamic control by combining the physical entities of the multi-stage rotors with the trained virtual model to form a closed-loop control.

[0012] Furthermore, step 505 employs a phased training strategy. First, basic training is conducted by setting the number of training rounds, the maximum number of steps per round, and the learning rate parameters. Then, the optimization process continues based on the results of the basic training to reduce noise.

[0013] Furthermore, step 506 specifically includes: Step A: Acquire the spatial pose data of the rotor inertial spindle in real time through sensors and update relevant parameters synchronously; Step B, Decision-making and Execution. The deep reinforcement learning agent calculates the optimal control action, i.e., the phase adjustment amount, based on the current state, and sends the control command to the physical actuator; Step C: Implement dynamic weight updates and strategy optimization. Update the weights in real time based on the pose error of the rotor's inertial spindle. Continuously optimize the strategy using the updated data to adapt to changes in rotor state.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By combining dynamic reliability allocation with spatial pose control of a multi-stage rotor inertial spindle, and employing deep reinforcement learning for pose control execution, this invention achieves a technological innovation in pose control of a multi-stage rotor inertial spindle. This method innovatively establishes a bidirectional optimization mechanism for pose control and reliability allocation, and through continuous interaction between the agent and the environment, autonomously learns the optimal control strategy, significantly improving the system's adaptive capability. In practical applications, the system can dynamically adjust the reliability weights of each component according to real-time operating conditions, achieving the optimal balance between accuracy requirements and system reliability. Compared to traditional control methods, pose control accuracy is improved by approximately 15%, system reliability is improved by approximately 12%, and control time is shortened by approximately 26%, effectively improving control efficiency. This method effectively solves long-standing technical problems in traditional rotor assembly, such as over-reliance on expert experience, insufficient control accuracy, and lack of reliability allocation, providing a new method for the assembly of complex and precision equipment, and has significant application value and promising prospects for widespread application.

Its specific value is determined through simulation experiments. When selecting a value, it is chosen so that the weights can effectively distinguish between different error levels. for t Time of the first j The current pose error of each stage is calculated using the following formula: , After adjustment j The reliability of each link is: ; Step 403: Perform adaptive reliability weight allocation.

This is used to control the adjustment range and avoid violent oscillations; Traditional reliability allocation methods have certain limitations: fixed allocation weights cannot adapt to changes in system state; they lack feedback and cannot be adjusted based on actual operating data; they are overly conservative, over-designing to ensure the weakest link; and they waste resources, failing to achieve dynamic optimization of reliability resources. The method used in this implementation dynamically adjusts the reliability allocation weights based on the actual performance of each component, thereby improving fault tolerance and adapting to changes in operating conditions. Step 5: Perform multi-stage rotor inertial spindle spatial pose control. Specific steps include: Step 501: Construct the state space. Including time t Overall posture System reliability Positional errors at each stage and dynamic weights Specifically: ; Step 502: Construct the action space. Output phase of each stage of rotor assembly Adjustment amount To achieve optimized indexing and assembly; specifically: ; Step 503: Set the reward function.

The network is designed using the Actor-Critic framework, where the Actor network outputs actions based on the state, the Critic network evaluates the value of the actions, and the gradient ascent method is used to update the parameters of the Actor network. Step 505: Conduct training and optimization. By interacting with the environment, continuously learn and adjust error parameters to minimize the error. A phased training strategy is adopted. First, basic training is carried out by setting the number of training rounds, the maximum number of steps per round, and the learning rate parameters. Then, the optimization process continues to train based on the results of the basic training to reduce noise. Step 506: Perform dynamic control by combining the physical entities of the multi-stage rotors with the trained virtual model to form a closed-loop control. Step A: Acquire the spatial pose data of the rotor inertial spindle in real time through sensors and update relevant parameters synchronously; Step B, Decision-making and Execution. The deep reinforcement learning agent calculates the optimal control action, i.e., the phase adjustment amount, based on the current state, and sends the control command to the physical actuator; Step C: Implement dynamic weight updates and strategy optimization. Update the weights in real time based on the pose error of the rotor's inertial spindle. Continuously optimize the strategy using the updated data to adapt to changes in rotor state.

[0017] In step 5 of this implementation, a deep reinforcement learning agent is designed to learn the optimal control strategy through interaction with the environment. Compared to traditional methods, the unique advantage of deep reinforcement learning lies in its multi-objective collaborative optimization capability. The system can simultaneously consider multiple objectives such as pose accuracy and reliability indicators, seeking the optimal balance under complex constraints. This comprehensive optimization capability enables the system to maintain excellent performance in steady state while achieving rapid response and smooth transition in dynamic processes, realizing the collaborative optimization of pose control and reliability allocation.
