Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aero-engine testing and condition monitoring technology, specifically to a system for synchronous acquisition and analysis of aero-engine test bench performance parameters based on multi-sensor fusion. Background Technology
[0002] As the core power unit of aircraft, the performance reliability and operational safety of aero-engines directly determine the flight quality of aircraft. Test bench testing is a key link in the research, development, finalization, and maintenance of aero-engines. By accurately monitoring and analyzing various performance parameters of the engine under different operating conditions, the rationality of the design scheme can be verified, the health of the operating status can be assessed, and potential failure risks can be identified, providing data support for engine performance optimization and predictive maintenance. As aero-engines develop towards higher thrust-to-weight ratios, higher reliability, and longer lifespans, their internal working mechanisms are becoming increasingly complex, placing higher demands on the parameter acquisition accuracy, synchronization, data processing capabilities, and analysis and decision-making efficiency of the test bench testing system.
[0003] Existing performance parameter acquisition and analysis systems for aero-engine test benches have numerous technical limitations, making it difficult to meet current testing requirements for high precision, high reliability, and intelligence. Firstly, the accuracy of parameter synchronization is insufficient. Existing systems mostly rely on single hardware triggers to achieve sensor synchronization, failing to fully consider the impact of signal transmission delays, differences in sensor sampling frequencies, and environmental interference on time alignment. This results in significant timestamp discrepancies among multi-source parameters, failing to accurately reflect the dynamic correlations between parameters and consequently affecting the accuracy of performance evaluation and fault diagnosis. Secondly, the data fusion algorithm design is simplistic. Most systems only use simple weighted averaging or single filtering algorithms to process multi-source data, making it difficult to handle the nonlinear characteristics and uncertainties of heterogeneous parameters such as temperature, pressure, and vibration. This hinders the effective extraction of deep correlation features from the data, leading to low accuracy in fault mode identification and making it difficult to achieve accurate early warning of minor faults.
[0004] Furthermore, existing systems mostly use fixed-parameter performance analysis models, failing to consider engine performance degradation under different test conditions and after long-term operation. The model parameters cannot be corrected in real time, resulting in significant deviations between the calculated performance parameters and the actual operating conditions, thus failing to provide accurate data support for engine performance optimization. At the same time, the fault warning mechanism is not perfect. Existing systems mostly trigger alarms based on single parameter thresholds, without combining the fusion characteristics of multi-source parameters and historical data to build a comprehensive health status assessment system. This easily leads to false alarms or missed alarms, making it difficult to support the implementation of predictive maintenance.
[0005] Furthermore, the existing systems suffer from insufficient transmission compatibility and reliability. Most systems only support a single aviation bus protocol, which cannot adapt to the hardware interface requirements of different engine test benches. Moreover, they lack effective redundant transmission design, making them prone to data loss in the event of bus failure. The visualization and data playback functions are relatively simple, only able to display curves of single parameters, and do not support multi-dimensional parameter linkage analysis and panoramic playback of the test process, which is not conducive to in-depth data mining and problem tracing. Finally, the system's environmental adaptability needs to be improved. The existing sensor packaging and signal processing circuits lack anti-interference and high-temperature resistance design. In the complex environment of high temperature and strong electromagnetic interference on the test bench, problems such as signal distortion and sensor failure are prone to occur, affecting the continuity of the test process and the reliability of the data.
[0006] The aforementioned technical limitations make it difficult for existing systems to achieve high-precision synchronous acquisition and intelligent analysis of aero-engine performance parameters, which restricts the testing efficiency of test benches and the level of intelligence in engine research and development and maintenance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-sensor fusion acquisition and analysis system with high synchronization, strong adaptability and high reliability to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies.

The inner layer iteration ensures the calculation accuracy by solving the component-level parameter relationship, while the outer layer iteration corrects the health parameters in real time for engine performance degradation. Combined with the online weight update of the DNN model, the system can quickly adapt to different test conditions and changes in engine operating status, avoiding performance evaluation bias caused by a fixed model and providing more accurate data support for engine performance optimization. This invention constructs a dual early warning mechanism of "threshold alarm + health index evaluation". It constructs a health index (HI) through multi-source parameter fusion features and establishes a performance degradation trend model by combining historical data.

The 3D model dynamic simulation module is based on the engine's 3D model and synchronously displays the operating status and parameter distribution of key components. The data playback module supports the playback of test data along the time axis, and allows for customization of playback speed and parameter filtering conditions, enabling panoramic traceability of the testing process.
9. The system according to claim 1, characterized in that, All sensors in the sensor layer adopt an anti-interference packaging design. The temperature monitoring module and pressure monitoring module adopt ceramic coating packaging and air purging cooling system, while the vibration monitoring module and speed monitoring module adopt shielded shell packaging. The circuits of the data acquisition layer and data processing layer adopt differential signal transmission and grounding optimization design to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference on the signal.
10. The system according to claim 1, characterized in that, The aviation bus is also compatible with CAN bus and RS485 bus protocols, and the conversion between different protocols is realized through the bus adapter module; the data processing layer also includes a data storage unit, which uses a solid-state hard disk array to store raw data and processing results, with a storage capacity of not less than 1TB, supports data indexing and long-term traceability by timestamp, working condition type and parameter category, and provides API interface to support secondary analysis.
