Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thin-film throttling device technology, specifically relating to a method and system for determining the deformation curve of a thin-film throttling device diaphragm. Background Technology
[0002] As a key damping and pressure-stabilizing element in the moving parts of a hydrostatic guide rail, the elastic deformation of the diaphragm under operating pressure difference directly alters the geometry of the throttling gap, leading to significant changes in flow resistance characteristics and ultimately affecting the pressure regulation accuracy and oil film stiffness of the throttling device. Currently, understanding this deformation field mainly relies on three methods: theoretical analysis, computer simulation, and experimental measurement, but all have fundamental limitations. Theoretical analysis is based on highly simplified models, and the calculation results deviate significantly from the actual complex fluid-structure interaction conditions. While computer simulation can make more precise predictions, it is essentially an extrapolation of an idealized digital model and cannot capture the individual differences in real products caused by manufacturing tolerances, material batches, and assembly stresses, nor can it be used for online monitoring of physical products. In terms of experimental measurement, contact methods interfere with the actual deformation state of the tiny diaphragm, while non-contact optical full-field measurements (such as laser interferometers) have high accuracy, but the equipment is expensive, has stringent environmental requirements, and, more importantly, is limited by the compact and enclosed mechanical structure of the throttling device itself, making it difficult to implement effective measurements in industrial settings or under installed conditions.
[0003] These shortcomings collectively lead to a prominent contradiction in the current technological field: on the one hand, there is a severe lack of high-precision, practical real-time measurement methods for diaphragm deformation, resulting in a lack of reliable data for product design verification, production quality control, and in-service equipment condition monitoring; on the other hand, there is currently a lack of simple physical models capable of accurately reconstructing the entire field morphology from a small amount of easily measurable data. Therefore, developing a practical measurement method and system based on fluid-structure interaction that can directly reconstruct the entire field deformation from local measurements has become an urgent need to overcome the technological bottleneck in this field. Summary of the Invention

The solution method adopts a transient calculation mode, the flow model is laminar flow, and the convergence residual satisfies the continuity equation and the velocities in the x, y, and z directions are all ≤1e-5.
[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in step 3), based on the simulation analysis results, the full-field deformation of the diaphragm under each working condition is extracted, including: extracting the total deformation data along the diaphragm diameter path through the "Path" function of ANSYS, as the core sample of the full-field deformation data of the diaphragm.
[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in step 4), the deformation curve function... for:

Decision, satisfaction , ; This is the operating condition factor, in units of... With respect to the current operating conditions, i.e., the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet. and initial throttling gap The relevant term represents the magnitude of diaphragm deformation under specified operating conditions.
[0011] A further improvement of this invention is that, in step 5), the constructed thin film deformation measurement test bench includes: a mounting base, a thin film throttle fixed to the mounting base, an eddy current sensor for measuring diaphragm deformation, a locking nut, and a sealing ring. The eddy current sensor is fixed by the locking nut and is positioned opposite to the central region of the diaphragm. The eddy current sensor is a non-contact displacement measurement device. The fixed radius region is the central circular region of the diaphragm, and the dimensionless measurement radius of the eddy current sensor is... for , The actual measurement radius of the sensor. This represents the actual effective radius of the diaphragm.
[0012] A further improvement of this invention is that, in step 6), the calculation formula for the calibration coefficient C is:

The coefficient calculation unit calculates the calibration coefficient and working condition coefficient based on the dimensionless shape factor and average deformation. The full-field deformation curve solving unit solves the full-field deformation curve of the diaphragm under unknown working conditions based on calibration coefficients and operating condition coefficients.
[0016] A further improvement of this invention lies in the fact that, in the finite element model building unit, the specific process of building the finite element model of the thin-film throttling device is as follows: Geometric models of the fluid and solid domains were constructed separately using SOLIDWORKS. After being assembled in the assembly according to the actual assembly relationships, they were imported into ANSYS WORKBENCH using the SOLIDWORKS WORKBENCH CAD plugin. ANSYS ICEM was then used to mesh the fluid and solid domains.
[0017] A further improvement of this invention is that, in the simulation analysis unit, the parameter settings for the fluid-structure interaction simulation analysis include: For fluid materials, the density and dynamic viscosity at 25°C are used; for solid materials, the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and density of the diaphragm are used.

The characteristic function model constructed based on the fluid-structure interaction simulation results shows extremely high goodness of fit to the simulation data (average R² ≥ 0.95). Due to the core parameters... It has been proven to have excellent stability (variance coefficient CV < 0.5%). The accuracy of this inversion method does not change drastically with the working conditions (pressure difference, initial gap). It can maintain high accuracy and strong robustness under different working conditions, ensuring the reliability and universality of the method.
[0019] 2. This invention is the first to discover and define the "dimensionless shape factor" that determines the deformation morphology of a diaphragm. By revealing the physical law that the shape of the diaphragm deformation curve of a thin-film throttling device is determined solely by the structure itself and is independent of external loads, this study achieves a dimensionality reduction and essential description of complex fluid-structure interaction deformation fields, which has significant original theoretical value.

Figures 1-6 The process is clearly presented. (Attached) Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method of the present invention. For ease of implementation, the system apparatus configuration for implementing the present invention is defined first, and then the technical process is described in detail: 1. System Configuration The system for implementing the present invention includes: (1) Geometric modeling and simulation system: It consists of SOLIDWORKS (geometric modeling), ANSYS Design Modeler (model preprocessing), ANSYS ICEM (mesh generation), ANSYS FLUENT (fluid calculation), and ANSYS Static Structural (solid deformation calculation); (2) Diaphragm deformation measurement system: single-sided thin-film throttling device, eddy current sensor; corresponding attachments Figure 2 (Throttle body deformation measurement system) 2. Detailed Implementation Steps of the Technical Process Step 1: Geometric Modeling and Mesh Generation (1) Geometric modeling: Open SOLIDWORKS and create the fluid domain and solid domain according to the geometry of the thin-film throttling device. After the fluid domain and solid domain are modeled, they need to be assembled in a new assembly according to the corresponding relationship and saved. After modeling, use the SOLIDWORKS WORKBENCH CAD plugin to directly import the model into ANSYSWORKBENCH. Complete the mesh generation operation of the fluid domain and solid domain in ANSYS.

[0045] (2) Data Preprocessing: After calculation, the deformation data is extracted using the "Path" function: Define the path along the membrane diameter, export the "Total Deformation" data along the path, and obtain the deformation data along the membrane diameter. (See attached image) Figure 3 This is the ANSYS simulation process for thin-film throttles.
[0046] Step 4: Construction of the logic function and derivation of the diaphragm deformation curve This step is the core of the invention, and includes two parts: establishing the diaphragm deformation formula and establishing the "measurement-inversion" model.
[0047] (1) First, perform dimensionless processing of the physical quantities. Define the characteristic length. Let be the effective radius of the diaphragm, and let be the radius of the fixed edge of the diaphragm. Therefore .
[0048] Define dimensionless radius Obviously And at the edge .
[0049] Define the dimensionless measurement radius of the eddy current sensor as: ,in .
[0050] (2) Through systematic mathematical fitting analysis of a large amount of simulation data (deformation fields under different pressure differences and different initial throttling gaps), this invention has made a key discovery: all deformation curves can be described with high precision by a unified function containing only two parameters: (1) in, The dimensionless shape factor is only related to the membrane structure and material; the whole within the brackets...

[0057] The overall diaphragm deformation curve under unknown operating conditions can be calculated using formula (1). When the operating conditions change, the eddy current sensor or similar measuring device only needs to perform one measurement to obtain the average value of the diaphragm deformation in the measurement area, and then the overall diaphragm deformation curve under the new operating conditions can be calculated using the above steps.
[0058]
[0059] (4) Explanation of boundary conditions and model verification The dimensionless characteristic function model used in this invention is at the fixed edge of the diaphragm ( At point ), the geometric constraint condition that the deformation is zero is strictly satisfied. For an ideal fixed boundary, the required rotation angle is 0 (i.e., the slope). The mechanical conditions of ) are explained by the model as follows:
[0060] Its value is not zero. This mathematical characteristic is a reasonable trade-off between the chosen function form and the model's simplicity. The following points require further explanation: For the typical structural parameters of the present invention ( The absolute value of the boundary slope calculated using the above formula is approximately The slope is extremely small relative to the diaphragm diameter of 23 mm, which is consistent with engineering practice.
[0061] Furthermore, this invention aims to invert the deformation field of the diaphragm body region through local measurement of the central region. Sensor measurement area ( Far from the boundary, both theoretical analysis and simulation verification show that the influence of the aforementioned small slope condition differences at the boundary is limited to a very small range at the edge, affecting the measurement area and the main deformation zone. The morphological influence of the model is a high-order small quantity and can be completely ignored. The model has been fully verified in simulations and fully meets the accuracy and reliability requirements of engineering applications.
