Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engineering manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method and related apparatus for predicting leakage risk in bolted connection structures. Background Technology

[0002] Mining trucks, as efficient transportation equipment in mining and engineering construction, rely heavily on their axles as key load-bearing and transmission components, bearing the dual functions of supporting the vehicle body and transmitting power. Axle reducer sealing failure (such as oil leakage) not only compromises the integrity of the vehicle body but can also easily lead to reducer overheating and even complete equipment damage. Given the long maintenance cycle of mining trucks and the potential safety hazards and disruptions caused by malfunctions, resolving axle oil leakage issues has significant engineering safety and economic value.

[0003] However, traditional sealant-based assessments of the sealing performance of bolted connections typically rely on the accurate material properties of the sealant (such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and tensile strength). Since sealants are large-deformation flexible materials, their material properties are often difficult to measure precisely, making it difficult to accurately characterize their mechanical behavior under complex stress conditions. This limitation makes it difficult to establish effective criteria for seal failure using traditional methods, resulting in the inability to objectively predict and accurately assess the leakage risk of axle bolted connections in practical engineering.

[0023] The sealant failure index is calculated based on the maximum tensile strength and / or thickness of the target sealant.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the sealant failure indicators include critical slip and critical opening.

[0031] If the large-area bolted connection interface has at least one of the first risk or the second risk, then the leakage risk prediction result of the bolted connection structure is that there is a leakage risk.

[0051] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that such terms are interchangeable where appropriate; this is merely a way of distinguishing elements with the same properties in the description of embodiments of this application.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a leakage risk prediction method for a bolted connection structure provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for predicting leakage risk of a bolted connection structure may include steps S101 to S103, which are described in detail below.

[0054] S101. Based on the pre-constructed numerical simulation model of the bolted connection structure of the large surface of the vehicle axle, simulate multiple vehicle axle working conditions and determine the limit interface displacement parameters of the bolted connection interface.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bolted connection structure is the large-area bolted connection structure of the axle to be evaluated, and the ultimate interface displacement parameters include the ultimate slip and / or the ultimate opening.

[0056] It should be noted that under axle conditions, in the bolted connection structure of the axle's large surface area, the bolted connection contact interface will experience two types of displacement changes: misalignment between the interfaces, i.e., contact slip along the tangential direction of the interface, and opening between the interfaces, i.e., contact gap along the normal direction of the interface. Therefore, the limiting slip is the maximum value of the contact slip along the tangential direction of the bolted connection contact interface under axle conditions. The limiting opening is the maximum value of the contact gap along the normal direction of the bolted connection contact interface under axle conditions.

[0057] S102. Determine the sealant failure index of the target sealant for the bolted connection structure.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sealant failure indicators include critical slip and / or critical opening.

[0059] In this embodiment, the critical slip amount is the critical slip displacement value that the target sealant can withstand in the tangential direction of the bolt connection contact interface without failing, and the critical opening amount is the critical opening displacement value that the target sealant can withstand in the normal direction of the bolt connection contact interface without failing.

[0060] S103. Based on the limit interface displacement parameters and sealant failure index, evaluate the sealant performance of the target sealant and obtain the leakage risk prediction results of the bolted connection structure.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the contact slippage or contact gap at the bolt connection interface exceeds the critical value that the target sealant on the bolt connection interface can withstand, the target sealant will fail. Therefore, by comparing the limit interface displacement parameters and the corresponding sealant failure indicators, it is possible to determine whether there is a risk of failure of the target sealant at the current bolt connection interface, thereby determining the leakage risk prediction result of the bolt connection structure.

[0062] For example, when the limit slip is greater than the critical slip, it indicates that the tangential displacement of the connection interface has exceeded the sealant's tolerance, and there is a risk of seal failure due to shear. When the limit opening is greater than the critical opening, it indicates that the normal displacement of the connection interface has exceeded the sealant's tolerance, and there is a risk of seal failure due to tension.

[0063] Therefore, when the ultimate slip is greater than the critical slip and the ultimate opening is greater than the critical opening, it indicates that the connection structure faces the risk of sealing failure in both the tangential and normal directions, and the overall sealing reliability is not up to standard. In this case, the leakage risk prediction result of the bolted connection structure is that the sealing performance is unqualified.

[0064] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the leakage risk prediction method for bolted connection structures provided in this application constructs a numerical simulation model of the large-area bolted connection structure of an axle, simulates various actual axle working conditions, and accurately extracts the ultimate slip and ultimate opening amounts of the connection interface as key mechanical parameters. Simultaneously, based on the basic physical properties of the target sealant, the critical slip and critical opening amounts leading to sealant failure are defined and calculated. By comparing the ultimate displacement parameters with sealant failure indicators, it is possible to quantitatively predict whether the sealant will experience shear or tensile failure under specific working conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of leakage risk prediction results for bolted connection structures through reliable and objective judgment of sealing performance.

[0065] Furthermore, this solution transforms the complex problem of evaluating the performance of sealant bulk materials into a quantitative analysis problem of macroscopic contact displacement parameters at the interface. This avoids the reliance on fine constitutive parameters of sealant (such as elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio) that are difficult to measure accurately in traditional methods, thus breaking through the bottleneck of simulation modeling and performance prediction of flexible large deformation sealing materials.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for predicting leakage risk in a bolted connection structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 The following is an example of S101, which describes the specific implementation process for determining the limit interface displacement parameters of the large-area bolted connection interface by simulating multiple vehicle-axle working conditions based on a pre-built numerical simulation model of the bolted connection structure. Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for predicting leakage risk of a bolted connection structure may include steps S201 to S207, which are described in detail below.

[0067] S201. Use 3D modeling software to create a geometric model of the bolted connection structure.

[0068] S202. Import the geometric model into the finite element software, and establish the mesh model of the bolt connection structure by setting material properties for the geometric model, performing mesh generation, and generating pre-tightening elements.

[0069] S203. By setting displacement constraints on the mesh model, applying gravity and external loads, and simulating bolt tightening and load distribution loading conditions, a numerical simulation model of the bolt connection structure is established.

[0070] S204. Simulate multiple vehicle axle working conditions by changing the displacement constraints and external load settings of the numerical simulation model.

[0071] S205. Simulation yields the slip and opening sets of the large-face bolt connection interface.

[0072] In this embodiment, the slip amount set includes the slip amount of the large-area bolt connection interface under multiple vehicle axle working conditions, and the opening amount set includes the opening amount of the large-area bolt connection interface under multiple vehicle axle working conditions.

[0073] S206. Select the maximum slip from the slip set to obtain the limit slip of the large-face bolt connection interface.

[0074] S207. Select the maximum opening amount from the opening amount set to obtain the limit opening amount of the large-face bolt connection interface.

[0075] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the leakage risk prediction method for bolted connection structures provided in this application provides key and reliable limit mechanical boundary parameters, namely limit opening amount and limit slip amount, for leakage risk prediction through sealing performance evaluation by establishing, constraining, loading and simulating finite element models of bolted connection structures under multiple working conditions.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 3a , Figure 3a This application provides yet another method for predicting leakage risk in bolted connection structures. Figure 3a This illustrates S102, the specific implementation process for determining the sealant failure index of the target sealant in the bolted connection structure, as follows: Figure 3a As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for predicting leakage risk of a bolted connection structure may include steps S301 to S304, which are described in detail below.

[0077] S301. Obtain the elongation at break and thickness of the target sealant.

[0078] S302. Calculate the maximum stretch of the target sealant using a predefined stretch formula.

[0079] In this embodiment, the formula for the stretching amount is:

[0080] .

[0081] In the above formula for stretching, This represents the maximum tensile strength of the sealant (in mm). This refers to the thickness of the sealant (in mm). Elongation at break of the sealant (in %).

[0082] It should be noted that the maximum tensile strength of the sealant is the ultimate elongation deformation that the material itself can withstand. When the actual tensile strength of the sealant caused by the displacement (slippage or opening) of the connection interface reaches the maximum tensile strength of the sealant, the sealant fails.

[0083] S303. Calculate the critical slip of the target sealant using a predefined slip formula.

[0084] In this embodiment, the slip formula is predefined based on the geometric relationship between sealant stretch, sealant thickness, and slip distance.

[0085] Figure 3b An example is provided, illustrating the sealant colloid and its displacement. Figure 3b As shown, the lateral tensile length, also known as the sealant stretch, refers to the actual elongation corresponding to the slip distance when tangential slip occurs at the bolt connection interface.

[0086] Specifically, the critical slip value refers to the interface slip distance at which the actual elongation of the sealant reaches its maximum tensile strength due to tangential slip at the bolt connection interface. Based on the geometric relationship between sealant elongation, sealant thickness, and slip value, a slip value formula can be predefined to calculate the critical slip value. It is understandable that when the actual slip distance at the bolt connection interface exceeds this critical slip value, the sealant will fracture due to excessive elongation, thus posing a risk of leakage. Conversely, if the actual slip distance is below this critical slip value, the sealant remains intact, and the interface seal is reliable.

[0087] Furthermore, based on geometric relationships, the relationship between sealant stretch L, sealant thickness t, and slip distance s is as follows:

[0088] ;

[0089] Therefore, the slip formula is as follows:

[0090] .

[0091] in, This represents the critical slip.

[0092] S304. Calculate the critical opening amount of the target sealant using a predefined opening amount formula.

[0093] In this embodiment, the opening amount formula is based on a predefined geometric relationship between the sealant stretch amount and the contact gap.

[0094] like Figure 3b As shown, the gap, also known as the contact gap, refers to the actual interface gap distance corresponding to the opening distance when the bolt connection interface is opened normally.

[0095] Specifically, the critical opening distance refers to the interfacial gap distance at which the actual elongation of the sealant reaches its maximum tensile value when the bolted connection interface undergoes normal opening. Based on the geometric relationship between the sealant's elongation and the interfacial gap, an opening formula can be predefined to calculate the critical opening distance. It is understandable that when the actual opening distance of the bolted connection interface exceeds this critical opening distance, the sealant will fracture due to excessive elongation, thus posing a risk of leakage; conversely, the sealant remains intact, and the interface seal is reliable.

[0096] Furthermore, based on geometric relationships, the relationship between the sealant stretch L and the contact gap c is as follows:

[0097] ;

[0098] Therefore, the formula for the opening is as follows:

[0099] ;

[0100] in, This represents the critical opening.

[0101] In summary, based on S303~304, the maximum tensile strength and thickness of the sealant based on the target sealant are determined, and the sealant failure index is calculated.

[0102] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the leakage risk prediction method for bolted connection structures provided in this application transforms the failure mechanism of the sealant into clear geometric and mechanical boundary conditions (critical slip and critical opening), and establishes a quantitative evaluation index for sealing performance that does not depend on complex constitutive parameters. Based on easily obtainable basic parameters of the sealant (thickness and elongation at break), the failure threshold of the sealant in the shear and tensile directions is directly derived through geometric relationships, thereby realizing the definition of key evaluation indicators for sealing performance.

[0103] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This application provides yet another method for predicting leakage risk in bolted connection structures. Figure 4 This illustrates S103, which details the specific implementation process for evaluating the sealant performance of the target sealant based on the ultimate interface displacement parameters and sealant failure indices, to obtain the leakage risk prediction results for the bolted connection structure. Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a method for predicting leakage risk of a bolted connection structure may include steps S401 to S404, which are described in detail below.

[0104] S401. Based on the limit slip of the large-face bolt connection interface, determine whether the large-face bolt connection interface meets the first risk judgment condition. If so, determine that the large-face bolt connection interface has the first risk.

[0105] In this embodiment, the first risk assessment condition includes the product of the limit slip amount and the critical slip amount of the sealant, and optionally, the first coefficient is... .

[0106] That is, if the limiting slip amount satisfy If the leakage is not tangential, it is determined that there is a risk of leakage due to tangential slippage of the interface; otherwise, it is determined that the risk of leakage in that direction is relatively small.

[0107] S402. Based on the limit opening amount of the large-face bolt connection interface, determine whether the large-face bolt connection interface meets the second risk judgment condition. If so, determine that the large-face bolt connection interface has a second risk.

[0108] In this embodiment, the second risk assessment criterion includes the product of the limit opening amount being greater than the critical opening amount of the sealant and a preset second coefficient. Optionally, the second coefficient is equal to the first coefficient, that is... .

[0109] That is, if the limiting opening amount satisfy If the interface is open in the normal direction, it is determined that there is a risk of leakage due to the interface opening; otherwise, the risk of leakage in that direction is determined to be relatively small.

[0110] S403. If there is at least one of the first risk or the second risk at the large bolt connection interface, the leakage risk prediction result of the bolt connection structure is that there is a leakage risk.

[0111] S404. If the bolted connection interface does not have either the first risk or the second risk, the leakage risk prediction result of the bolted connection structure is that there is no leakage risk.

[0112] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the leakage risk prediction method for bolted connection structures provided in this application embodiment, through... Figure 4 The risk assessment process shown can provide a clear and quantitative evaluation of the performance reliability of sealants under specific working conditions.

[0113] Furthermore, this solution can also calculate the critical slip and critical gap of different sealants and compare their magnitudes. The larger the critical failure index, the lower the risk of seal failure, and vice versa, thereby achieving performance evaluation of different sealants.

[0114] Furthermore, if the sealant performance evaluation results indicate a risk of leakage, the risk of leakage can be reduced by decreasing the sealant thickness or increasing the sealant elongation at break. Thus, by optimizing the key process parameters of the sealant (sealant coating thickness and sealant elongation at break), the positive design of the sealing performance of the large-area bolted connection structure of the vehicle axle can be achieved.

[0115] Therefore, this solution provides clear performance boundaries and positive design basis for the sealing design of axle bolt connection structures. It can effectively guide the selection of sealant and the optimization of coating process parameters, thereby controlling leakage risks in advance during the R&D stage, improving product reliability and service life, and has important engineering practice value.

[0116] The above describes a method for predicting leakage risk in bolted connection structures according to embodiments of this application. The following describes the related apparatus for performing the above-described method for predicting leakage risk in bolted connection structures.

[0125] The maximum slip amount is selected from the set of slip amounts to obtain the limit slip amount of the large-face bolt connection interface;

[0126] The maximum opening amount is selected from the set of opening amounts to obtain the limit opening amount of the large-face bolt connection interface.
