Abstract
Description
Methods, devices, equipment and media for engine starting control with thermal bending correction Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aero-engine control technology, and in particular to engine start-up control methods, devices, equipment and media with thermal bending correction. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal bending in aero-engine turboshafts refers to the radial and axial deformation of the gas turbine rotor caused by uneven heating of the engine flow channels after shutdown (see Figure 1). If the engine is hot-started under these conditions, it will increase the probability of engine surge and rotor-stator scraping, damaging the engine and resulting in a failed hot start. To ensure a successful start, the engine must wait for the residual temperature (Tt45) to decrease and the effects of thermal bending to dissipate before starting, but this waiting time often takes several hours, severely restricting the helicopter's mission performance.
[0003] Currently, the start-up of an aero-turboshaft engine includes three stages: Stage 1: No fuel supply stage; Stage 2: Given fuel flow control stage; Stage 3: Given acceleration control stage. To address the thermal bending phenomenon, existing technology incorporates fuel flow W based on the residual temperature of Tt45 during the second stage of the aforementioned start-up. f2 Correction: The higher the residual temperature at Tt45, the more W f2 The lower the supply, the better. However, this correction strategy is mainly set to reduce the fuel flow near the ignition point to avoid Tt45 overheating during hot start-up, and has very little effect on reducing the probability of surge and scraping. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides an engine starting control method with thermal bending correction, which solves the technical problem that the existing turboshaft engine starting control strategies have very little effect on reducing surge and scraping probability due to thermal bending phenomena.
[0005] This application is achieved through the following solution:
[0006] A thermally bent engine starting control method includes the following steps:
[0007] The gas generator rotor acceleration in the third stage of the start-up of the aero-turboshaft engine is jointly corrected by atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, atmospheric temperature correction coefficient, and Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures. The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases the acceleration as the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature increases, which is used to extend the start-up time.
[0008] In the third stage of starting the aircraft turboshaft engine, given a corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the engine operates according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, and the fuel supply is closed-loop according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration: when the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is lower than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply is increased; when the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is higher than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply is reduced, so that the gas generator speed increases according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration.
[0009] Furthermore, the expression for the gas generator rotor acceleration during the third stage of the start-up of an aero-turboshaft engine is corrected by combining atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, atmospheric temperature correction coefficient, and Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures:
[0010] (1);
[0011] in, The standard acceleration is given under standard atmospheric conditions; This is the atmospheric pressure correction factor; This is an atmospheric temperature correction factor, for a specific engine. and All values have been set and are known; P0 is the engine inlet atmospheric pressure, a measured value, which is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup; T0 is the engine inlet atmospheric temperature, a measured value, which is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup; k e3 The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases with the increase of the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature, which is used to extend the start-up time.
[0012] Furthermore, the residual temperature correction coefficient of Tt45 is determined by k. e3 The following parameters are used to determine the temperature based on the difference between the highest residual temperature (Tt45) and the standard atmospheric temperature at the current altitude, as well as the constant A under different highest thermal start-up residual temperatures (Tt45) and different atmospheric environments:
[0013] (2);
[0014] Where A is a constant, T0 ISA This represents the standard atmospheric temperature at the current altitude.
[0015] Furthermore, the standard atmospheric temperature at the current altitude is 15°C.
[0016] Furthermore, the constant A under different maximum thermal start-up residual temperatures (Tt45) and different atmospheric environmental temperatures is calculated through the following steps:
[0017] Assuming the maximum permissible start-up time for a turboshaft engine is T, then the sum of the times for the three start-up stages should be less than T, that is:
[0018] t1+t2+t3 ≤ T (3);
[0019] t1, t2, and t3 are the times of the first, second, and third stages of the start-up of the aircraft turboshaft engine, respectively. Considering the influence of uncertain factors, a certain time margin M is reserved in the design of the start-up law.
[0020] If the value of constant A allows the starting time of the turboshaft engine to be extended to MT during hot start at the highest hot start temperature Tt45, then this value satisfies any hot start (the lower the Tt45 residual temperature, the longer the start time). The larger the value, the shorter the start-up time, and to avoid stopping due to exceeding the start-up protection time, the relationship of t3 can be expressed as:
[0021] t3 = MT-t1-t2 (4);
[0022] Wherein, t3 is calculated from the relationship between acceleration, rotational speed, and time, as follows:
[0023] (5);
[0024] Among them, ng idl ng represents the gas generator speed corresponding to the idle state, and ng2 represents the upper limit of the engine speed in the second stage of the aircraft turboshaft engine start-up.
[0025] Combining formulas (4) and (5), we can obtain:
[0026] (6);
[0027] Combining formulas (1), (2), and (6), we can obtain:
[0028] (7);
[0029] The constant A can be calculated based on the maximum hot start residual temperature Tt45 of different turboshaft engines.
[0030] Furthermore, the time margin M is set to a value of 0.85 to 0.95.
[0031] This application also provides a thermally bent-corrected engine starting control device, including:
[0032] The gas generator rotor acceleration correction module is used to correct the gas generator rotor acceleration in the third stage of the start-up of an aero-turboshaft engine by using atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, atmospheric temperature correction coefficient and Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures. The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases the acceleration as the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature increases, which is used to prolong the start-up time.
[0033] The engine start-up control module is used in the third stage of starting an aero-turboshaft engine to provide a corrected gas generator rotor acceleration. The engine operates according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration and supplies fuel in a closed loop according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration: when the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is lower than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply is increased; when the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is higher than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply is decreased, so that the gas generator speed increases according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration.

[0046] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0047] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service system with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an engine starting control device capable of performing the above functions, such as a thermal bending correction device. The following description uses a thermal bending correction engine starting control device as the executing entity to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.
[0048] The start-up of a traditional aircraft turboshaft engine includes three stages:
[0049] Phase 1: No fuel supply phase. In this phase, the engine is started by the starter motor and no fuel is supplied. The speed range is generally 0-ng1 (ng1 is generally around 10%), and the time t1 of this phase accounts for about 10% of the engine starting time; (Note: ng is the gas generator speed).
[0050] Second stage: Given fuel flow control stage. In this stage, the engine controls the fuel flow according to a given flow rate W. f2 Fuel supply begins, the ignition system ignites, and the engine is driven by the starter and gas turbine. The speed range is generally ng1-ng2 (ng2 is generally around 40%), and this stage takes about 20% of the engine starting time (t2). The given fuel supply formula is:
[0051] ;
[0052] In the above formula:
[0053] This is the starting fuel supply under standard atmospheric conditions. This is the atmospheric pressure correction factor. The above three parameters are known values and are set for a specific engine. P0 is the engine inlet atmospheric pressure, which is a measured value and is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup. T0 is the engine inlet atmospheric temperature, which is a measured value and is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup.
[0054] Third stage: Given acceleration control stage. In this stage, the starter motor stops rotating, and the engine is driven solely by the turbine, with the engine operating at a given acceleration. Operation, according to Closed-loop fuel supply W f3 If the actual acceleration is lower than the given value, then increase the fuel W. f3 When the actual acceleration is higher than the given value, the fuel W is reduced. f3 In order to ensure that the engine accelerates at a given rate The speed increases. The third stage speed range is generally ng2-ng. idl (ng) idl The ng speed (which is the speed at idle, generally around 70%) is the main concentrated speed range for hot start scraping and surge. This stage takes about 70% of the engine start-up time. The formula is as follows:
[0055] ;
[0056] In the above formula, The standard acceleration is given under standard atmospheric conditions. This is the acceleration corrected for atmospheric pressure and temperature.
[0057] To address the thermal bending phenomenon, existing technologies employ fuel flow rate W based on residual temperature (Tt45) during the second stage of the aforementioned start-up process. f2 Correction: The higher the residual temperature at Tt45, the more W f2 The lower the supply, the more accurate the formula becomes:
[0058] ;
[0059] In the formula:
[0060] This is the engine hot-state correction coefficient, an inverse function of the Tt45 residual temperature. The higher the Tt45 residual temperature, the better. The smaller W f2 The smaller the value, the more effective the above formula is in reducing the oil supply flow rate.
[0061] However, this correction strategy is mainly designed to reduce fuel flow near the ignition point to avoid Tt45 overheating during hot starts, and has little effect on reducing the probability of surge and scraping.
[0062] The primary cause of surge and scraping is excessive acceleration of the gas generator rotor. The faster the acceleration, the closer the engine's common operating line moves towards the surge boundary, resulting in a lower surge margin. Under the influence of thermal bending, excessive acceleration may temporarily exacerbate temperature inhomogeneities within the flow channel and increase rotor blade stretching, amplifying the effects of thermal bending and ultimately leading to surge and scraping. Therefore, current technologies cannot effectively reduce the probability of hot-start surge and scraping caused by thermal bending.
[0063] As shown in Figure 2, to address the aforementioned technical problems, a preferred embodiment of this application provides a thermally bent correction engine starting control method, comprising the following steps:
[0064] S1. The gas generator rotor acceleration in the third stage of the start-up of the aircraft turboshaft engine is corrected by the atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, the atmospheric temperature correction coefficient, and the Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures. The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases the acceleration as the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature increases, which is used to extend the start-up time.
[0065] S2. In the third stage of starting the aircraft turboshaft engine, given the corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the starter motor stops rotating, and the engine is driven only by the turbine. The engine operates according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, and the fuel quantity W is supplied in a closed loop according to the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration. f3 When the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is lower than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply quantity W is increased. f3 When the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is higher than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply quantity W is reduced. f3 This causes the gas generator speed to increase according to the given modified gas generator rotor acceleration.
[0066] This embodiment provides a thermal bending correction engine start-up control method. This method establishes a Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient based on different maximum thermal start-up Tt45 residual temperatures to correct the acceleration in the third stage of the turboshaft engine start-up process, extending the thermal start-up time and thus reducing the probability of surge and scraping caused by thermal bending, thereby improving helicopter availability. Simultaneously, this embodiment offers fast diagnostic speed; it can utilize the engine CNC system for automatic adjustment, reducing manual operation; it can handle complex operations such as Tt45 residual temperature and different atmospheric environments, effectively improving the success rate of thermal start-up; it further improves the surge margin of thermal start-up and reduces the probability of scraping; it is easy to implement and has good feasibility.
[0067] In this embodiment, the entire process is calculated by computer. At the moment the engine "start" switch is pressed, the CNC system automatically identifies parameters such as the residual temperature at Tt45, P0, and T0, thereby quickly calculating the acceleration for the third stage. This method is applicable to different engines and different hot-start time intervals.
[0068] Preferably, the expression for the gas generator rotor acceleration in the third stage of the start-up of an aero-turboshaft engine, which is corrected by a combination of atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, atmospheric temperature correction coefficient, and Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient at different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures, is as follows:
[0069] (1);
[0070] in, The standard acceleration is given under standard atmospheric conditions; This is the atmospheric pressure correction factor; This is an atmospheric temperature correction factor, for a specific engine. and All values have been set and are known; P0 is the engine inlet atmospheric pressure, a measured value, which is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup; T0 is the engine inlet atmospheric temperature, a measured value, which is related to the atmospheric environment at the time of startup; k e3 The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases with the increase of the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature, which is used to extend the start-up time.
[0071] Preferably, the Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient is determined by k. e3 The following parameters are used to determine the temperature based on the difference between the highest residual temperature (Tt45) and the standard atmospheric temperature at the current altitude, as well as the constant A under different highest thermal start-up residual temperatures (Tt45) and different atmospheric environments:
[0072] (2);
[0073] Where A is a constant, T0 ISAThe standard atmospheric temperature at the current altitude is preferably 15°C.
[0074] When the residual temperature at Tt45 is the same as the standard atmospheric temperature The value is 1, meaning no correction is made; as the residual temperature of Tt45 increases, The smaller the value, the smaller the acceleration of the gas generator rotor. This avoids the possibility that excessive acceleration under the influence of thermal bending may temporarily aggravate the unevenness of temperature in the flow channel and the stretching of the rotor blades, thus amplifying the effect of thermal bending and ultimately leading to surge and scraping problems. This effectively reduces the probability of thermal start-up surge and scraping caused by thermal bending.
[0075] For a specific engine, ng idl , , , , All of these are known values. When entering the third stage, ng1, ng2, t1, t2, etc. are all known. For engines that start up in a specific atmospheric environment, P0 and T0 can also be obtained through actual measurement. Therefore, preferably, the A value for different Tt45 residual temperatures and different atmospheric environments can be calculated according to the following formula, thereby realizing differentiated starting rules.
[0076] Preferably, the constant A under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures and different atmospheric thermal conditions is calculated through the following steps:
[0077] S11. Assuming the longest permissible start-up time for a turboshaft engine is T, then the sum of the times for the three start-up stages should be less than T, that is:
[0078] t1+t2+t3 ≤ T (3);
[0079] t1, t2, and t3 are the times for the first, second, and third stages of the start-up of the aero-turboshaft engine, respectively. Considering the influence of uncertain factors, a certain time margin M is reserved in the design of the start-up law. The value of the time margin M is 0.85~0.95, and the preferred time margin M in this embodiment is 0.9.
[0080] S12. If the value of constant A can extend the starting time of the turboshaft engine to MT during hot start at the highest hot start temperature Tt45, then this value satisfies any hot start (the lower the Tt45 residual temperature, the longer the start time). The larger the value, the shorter the start-up time, and to avoid stopping due to exceeding the start-up protection time, the relationship of t3 can be expressed as:
[0081] t3 = MT-t1-t2 (4);
[0082] Wherein, t3 is calculated from the relationship between acceleration, rotational speed, and time, as follows:
[0083] (5);
[0084] Among them, ng idl ng represents the gas generator speed corresponding to the idle state, and ng2 represents the upper limit of the gas generator speed in the second stage of the aircraft turboshaft engine start-up.
[0085] S13. Combining formulas (4) and (5), we can obtain:
[0086] (6);
[0087] S14. Combining formulas (1), (2), and (6), we can obtain:
[0088] (7);
[0089] The constant A can be calculated based on the maximum hot start residual temperature Tt45 of different turboshaft engines.
[0090] In this embodiment, the constant A is equivalent to a lever, and its magnitude plays a crucial role: if the constant A is too small, then... If the correction effect is insufficient and the acceleration change in the third stage is not significant, the probability of scraping and surge will still be relatively high. If the constant A is too large, the time t3 of the third stage will be too long, ultimately leading to start-up protection and start-up failure. Therefore, this embodiment requires the targeted selection of a suitable constant A for different Tt45 residual temperatures and atmospheric environments. This ensures that the constant A is neither too small nor too large, reducing the probability of scraping and surge, and ensuring that the time t3 of the third stage is not too long, thus avoiding start-up failure caused by start-up protection. It is evident that because this embodiment calculates different constants A based on different Tt45 residual temperatures, it results in differentiated hot start-up strategy logic, improving the control accuracy, reliability, and adaptability of this application.
[0091] Preferably, the time margin M is 0.85 to 0.95.
[0092] As shown in Figure 3, another preferred embodiment of this application also provides a thermally bent engine starting control device, including:
[0093] The gas generator rotor acceleration correction module is used to correct the gas generator rotor acceleration in the third stage of the start-up of an aero-turboshaft engine by using atmospheric pressure correction coefficient, atmospheric temperature correction coefficient and Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperatures. The Tt45 residual temperature correction coefficient decreases the acceleration as the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature increases, which is used to prolong the start-up time.
[0094] The engine start-up control module is used in the third stage of starting an aero-turboshaft engine to provide a corrected gas generator rotor acceleration. During this stage, the starter motor stops rotating, and the engine is driven solely by the turbine. The engine operates according to the corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, and a closed-loop fuel supply W is provided according to this corrected gas generator rotor acceleration. f3 When the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is lower than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply quantity W is increased. f3 When the actual gas generator rotor acceleration is higher than the given corrected gas generator rotor acceleration, the fuel supply quantity W is reduced. f3 This causes the gas generator speed to increase according to the given modified gas generator rotor acceleration.

5. The engine starting control method with thermal bending correction according to claim 3, characterized in that, The constant A under different maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature and different atmospheric environment heat is calculated by the following steps: Assuming that the maximum allowable start time of the turboshaft engine is T, the sum of the times of the three start stages should be less than T, that is: t1+t2+t3 ≤ T (3); t1, t2, and t3 are the times of the first, second, and third stages of the start of the aircraft turboshaft engine, respectively. Considering the influence of uncertain factors, a certain time margin M is reserved in the design of the start law; If the value of constant A can extend the start time of the turboshaft engine to MT when it is hot start at the maximum hot start Tt45 residual temperature, then this value satisfies any hot start and avoids stopping due to exceeding the start protection time. Then the relationship of t3 can be expressed as: t3 = MT-t1-t2 (4); where t3 is calculated by the relationship between acceleration, speed and time, as follows: (5); where ng idl Let ng be the gas generator speed corresponding to the idle state, and ng2 be the upper limit of the gas generator speed in the second stage of the aircraft turboshaft engine start-up; combining formulas (4) and (5), we can obtain: (6); Combining formulas (1), (2) and (6), we can obtain: (7) The constant A can be calculated based on the maximum hot start residual temperature Tt45 of different turboshaft engines.
