Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of evaluating the lubrication load-bearing performance of diesel engine main bearings, and in particular to a method for calculating the thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication load-bearing capacity of bearings that takes into account the surface coating layer. Background Technology
[0002] During diesel engine operation, the bearing bushes are subjected to a complex alternating load, including rotational centrifugal force, periodic gas force, and reciprocating inertial force. Furthermore, as diesel engine speeds and power outputs increase, the operating conditions of the crankshaft-bearing friction pair become more demanding. Factors such as high loads, high temperatures and pressures, frequent start-stop cycles, lubricant deterioration, and corrosion can easily lead to bearing bush lubrication failure and frictional heat accumulation, resulting in the peeling of the bearing bush surface coating and insufficient bearing load-bearing capacity. Accurately predicting the bearing bush load-bearing capacity helps assess the health status of diesel engine bearing bushes, improving the engine's efficiency and service life.
[0003] Regarding the calculation method for bearing lubrication load, existing patents include: Taking Chinese invention patent CN120633338A as an example, it discloses a method for evaluating the load-bearing capacity of oil-impregnated bearings based on virtual simulation. This method involves executing a partitioning algorithm on the 3D CAD structural model of the oil-impregnated bearing, establishing a multiphysics sensitive area identification model for each partition, and dynamically adjusting the parameters of the global finite element model and the local high-precision micro-element sub-model using a multiphysics coupling calibration factor. The time-series features of the multiphysics joint simulation results after dynamic parameter adjustment are extracted to obtain the multidimensional parameter sequence related to the typical failure mechanism of the oil-impregnated bearing. However, this virtual simulation method lacks the ability to reproduce the failure mechanism under dynamic conditions of combined loads, and fails to systematically reproduce the real physical field evolution process under the alternating superposition of dynamic loads, impacts, and asymmetric conditions. It cannot achieve a high degree of coupling between the multiphysics fields of bearing lubrication, structure, and heat. Taking Chinese invention patent CN120068534A as an example, a method for calculating the time-domain hybrid lubrication characteristics of sliding bearings under deep-sea high-pressure environments is disclosed. Based on the steady-state Reynolds-averaged equation with coupled interface roughness, it considers the contact effect between the shaft and bearing micro-protrusions. By ensuring the balance between the steady-state hybrid lubrication contact force and the external load, the hybrid lubrication characteristics of the shaft and bearing are calculated. However, these methods neglect the effect of the bearing surface coating during modeling, and they can only obtain lubrication characteristics under deep-sea high-pressure environments, lacking versatility.
[0004] However, the technical solutions disclosed in the aforementioned patent documents cannot be fully applied to the special requirements of diesel engine bearings with surface coatings. When calculating lubrication characteristics, the influence of temperature is not mentioned. Under high-speed or heavy-load conditions, the viscosity and density of the lubricant change with temperature, affecting lubrication performance. Furthermore, the experimental measurement of the thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication load-bearing capacity of bearings with coupled surface coatings is quite complex. Summary of the Invention

Based on the convergent oil film pressure distribution, rough peak contact pressure and temperature field distribution of the bearing lubrication interface, and combined with integral calculation, the total bearing capacity of the bearing thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication considering the influence of the surface coating layer is obtained.

Figure 3 As shown. The temperature rise of the oil film and the resulting heat change are conducted between the bearing coatings. Therefore, the temperature of the oil film must first be calculated to obtain the energy equation of the lubricating oil film, which is formula (6):

[0101] In one specific implementation, S3, based on the bearing thermo-elasto-fluidic lubrication model of the coupled surface coating layer and coupled iterative calculation, obtains the converged bearing lubrication interface oil film pressure distribution, rough peak contact pressure, and temperature field distribution, including:
[0102] S301. The expression for oil film thickness h, the relationship between the dynamic viscosity η of lubricating oil and temperature and pressure, and the relationship between the density ρ of lubricating oil and temperature and pressure are incorporated into the average Reynolds control equation of the bearing lubricating oil film to obtain the distribution of oil film pressure p and oil film thickness h, and at the same time, the density ρ and viscosity η of lubricating oil at the current temperature are solved.
[0103] The specific principle of this step is as follows: Substitute equations (2)-(4) into equation (1), use the finite difference method to perform numerical iterative calculation, divide the bearing oil film into multiple uniform grids, each point in the grid represents the pressure value at that point, approximate the derivative in the Reynolds equation by the pressure value difference quotient of each node, iteratively solve the pressure of each node according to the set pressure boundary conditions, obtain the oil film pressure p and oil film thickness h distribution, and at the same time solve the density ρ and viscosity η of the lubricating oil at the current temperature.

Determine whether the temperature field calculation meets the convergence condition. If it does not meet the condition, repeat step S301. Finally, obtain the converged oil film pressure distribution, oil film thickness distribution, rough peak contact pressure, and temperature field distribution.
[0111] In one specific implementation, S4, based on the convergent oil film pressure distribution at the bearing lubrication interface, the rough peak contact pressure and temperature field distribution, and combined with integral calculations, the total bearing capacity of the bearing thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication considering the influence of the surface coating layer is obtained, including:
