Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine propulsion technology, and in particular to a simulated loading device for a straight-wing propeller and a method for parameterizing the dimensions of its components. Background Technology

[0002] A straight-wing propeller is a special type of propulsion device with adjustable pitch, where the blades and main shaft are mounted perpendicular to the hull. The propeller blades are vertically inserted into the water, rotating around the center of a turntable while each blade oscillates around its own axis. Because the magnitude and direction of the thrust of a straight-wing propeller can be flexibly adjusted, it enables functions such as agile maneuverability and attitude control for ships.

[0003] A straight-wing propeller consists of a propeller mechanical body, a hydraulic system, and a control system. The propeller mechanical body comprises a blade 1, a blade actuator 2, a control rod 5, a hydraulic cylinder 4, a transmission gear set 6, a bearing assembly 3, a rotating housing 8, and a propeller base 7, etc. Figure 1 As shown. The propeller actuator 2 consists of five sets of cranks 24, a long connecting rod 21, a concentric rod 23, and a support rod 22, as follows. Figure 2A As shown. The structural relationship between the single crank 24, long connecting rod 21, concentric rod 23, and strut 22 is as follows. Figure 2B As shown, the components are connected by pins. The crank 24 is fixed to the shaft of the blade 1 and rotates together around the axis of the blade 1. The ends of the five concentric rods 23 are stacked together and hinged to the lower hinge point of the control lever 5, as shown. Figure 2C As shown.

[0004] The blade 1 and blade actuator 2 are installed in the rotating housing 8 of the straight-wing propeller and rotate together with the rotating housing 8 during operation. When the center position of the concentric rod 23 (i.e. the control point) is eccentric with the center of the turntable under the drive of the lower hinge point of the control rod 5, the blade 1 swings under the drive of the blade actuator 2 during the rotation of the rotating housing 8, and the angle of attack with the incoming flow direction is always positive, thereby generating thrust to drive the propeller forward.

[0005] The simplified model and coordinate system of the single-blade actuator of the straight-wing propeller are as follows: Figure 3A As shown. The load on a single blade includes the hydrodynamic thrust of the blade, the hydrodynamic rotation torque, the centrifugal force generated by the blade's revolution around the center of the entire blade, and the inertial torque generated by the blade's rotation around its own axis.

[0006] The hydrodynamic thrust and centrifugal force of the propeller blades create a bending moment relative to the propeller bearings. This bending moment is ultimately balanced by the reaction forces of the upper and lower bearing supports within the rotating housing 8. This bending moment serves as the load input for assessing the load-bearing capacity of the propeller bearings and the strength of the rotating housing mechanism.

[0007] The hydrodynamic torque and inertial torque of the five sets of blades are transmitted through the blade actuator 2, forming a resultant force at the hinge point at the end of the concentric rod 23. This resultant force is transmitted to the hydraulic cylinder 4 via the control rod 5, and is balanced by the oil pressure of the hydraulic system. This resultant force is the load input for evaluating the pitch adjustment and pitch stability performance of the hydraulic system.

[0008] The load-bearing capacity assessment of the propeller bearings, the strength assessment of the rotating housing mechanism, and the pitch adjustment and stabilization performance assessment of the hydraulic system are key and challenging aspects of the straight-wing propeller design process. Currently, the assessment methods typically involve full-scale ship testing on an experimental vessel or underwater loading tests on a test platform. These methods are time-consuming, costly, and extremely difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the aforementioned issues, a simulated loading device for a straight-wing propeller is proposed. This device replaces the actual propeller blades in land-based tests of the straight-wing propeller. During the propeller's rotation, the centrifugal force and inertial torque generated can produce loads equivalent to those transmitted to the actual propeller's hydrodynamic loads at the lower hinge point of the control rod and the blade bearings. This allows for on-land assessments of the blade bearing's load-bearing capacity, the strength of the rotating housing mechanism, and the pitch adjustment and stability performance of the hydraulic system. Furthermore, a parametric design method is proposed for determining the component dimensions of this simulated loading device.

[0010] The technical solution of the present invention is: a straight-wing propeller simulation loading device, used to replace the actual blades for loading tests in land tests of straight-wing propellers, including a rotating shaft, a column, a crossbar, a longitudinal eccentric block and a transverse eccentric block; The structure of the rotating shaft is consistent with the end blade structure of the actual blade inserted into the crank. The crossbar is coaxially connected to the transverse eccentric block, and the end of the crossbar away from the transverse eccentric block is fixedly connected to the middle end of the column. The rotating shaft is coaxially and sequentially fixedly connected to the column and the longitudinal eccentric block, and the coaxial line of the crossbar is perpendicular to the coaxial line of the column. The transverse eccentric block, crossbar, longitudinal eccentric block, and column are all cylindrical, and the dimensions and connection relationships of each component are configured such that, during the rotation of the device with the rotating housing of the straight-wing propeller, the centrifugal force and inertial torque generated produce loads at the lower hinge point of the control rod and the blade bearing that are equivalent to the hydrodynamic load of the actual propeller transmitted to that part.

[0011] Preferably, the structural parameters of the device include: the radius of the lateral eccentric block. R H1 Length of the lateral eccentric block L H1 , crossbar radius R H2 Length of crossbar L H2Longitudinal eccentric block radius R L1 Length of longitudinal eccentric block L L1 Column radius R L2 Column length L L2 Distance between the lateral eccentric block and the bottom of the shaft L L3 and the angle between the axial direction of the transverse eccentric block and the upper EF of the crank. δ The simulation loading device preferably uses a manufacturing process of integral forging and machining.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating shaft is used to connect to the crank of the straight-wing propeller, so that the simulated loading device rotates together with the rotating housing, and transmits the load to the control rod and the blade bearing through the blade actuator.

[0013] Preferably, the distance between the overall center of mass of the simulated loading device and the central axis of the rotating shaft, as well as the distance between the overall center of mass and the bottom of the rotating shaft, are calculated and determined based on the mass of the lateral eccentric block, the mass of the crossbar, and the mass of the longitudinal eccentric block, wherein the mass of each component is based on the material density. ρ Based on the calculation of their respective geometric dimensions, alloy structural steel is the preferred material for the simulation loading device.

[0014] A parameterized design method for the component dimensions of a straight-wing thruster simulation loading device, used to determine the structural parameters of the straight-wing thruster simulation loading device, includes the following steps: Step S1: Determine the target load, including the hydrodynamic thrust of a single blade of a solid propeller, the hydrodynamic rotor torque, the centrifugal force, and the inertial torque; Step S2: Establish the kinematic model of the simulated loading device and the blade actuator, and solve for the angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration and hinge acceleration of the components; Step S3: Establish a dynamic model of the simulated loading device and the blade actuator, list the dynamic static equilibrium equations of each component based on d'Alembert's principle, and solve for the load at the lower hinge point of the control rod and the load on the blade bearing. Step S4: Construct a parameter optimization model, select the structural parameters of the simulated loading device as design variables, construct the objective function, and define the constraints; Step S5: Solve the parameter optimization model to obtain the optimal solution of the structural parameters of the simulated loading device.

[0015] Further, in step S2, the simplified model of the simulated loading device and the blade actuator is transformed into a kinematic model, wherein component AE is a rotating box, component BC is a strut, component DG is a concentric rod, component EF is a crank, component GF is a long connecting rod, A is the rotation center of the rotating box, B is the hinge point connecting the end of the strut, C is the hinge point connecting the strut and the concentric rod, D is the hinge point connecting the control rod and the concentric rod, E is the hinge point connecting the crank and the end of the blade, F is the hinge point connecting the long connecting rod and the crank, and G is the hinge point connecting the concentric rod and the long connecting rod. Based on the geometric relationship of the components, the equations of quadrilateral ABCD and polygon AEFGD are established, the angular displacement of each component is solved, and the angular velocity and angular acceleration are obtained by differentiating with respect to time.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S3, the simulated loading device and the blade actuator linkage are decomposed, and corresponding inertial forces and inertial torques are added to the components according to D'Alembert's principle. The dynamic equilibrium equations of the rotating box, strut, concentric rod, long connecting rod and crank-simulated loading device are listed, and the loads at each hinge point are obtained by solving them simultaneously.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S4, the objective function is selected to be able to simulate both the same control rod lower hinge point load during actual propeller operation and the maximum load on the bearing during actual propeller operation; the constraint conditions include constraint conditions determined based on the geometric relationship of the components and constraint conditions determined based on the structural strength relationship of the components.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, the selected design variable is: the radius of the lateral eccentric block. R H1 Length of the lateral eccentric block L H1 , crossbar radius R H2 Length of crossbar L H2 Longitudinal eccentric block radius R L1 Length of longitudinal eccentric block L L1 Column radius R L2 Column length L L2 Distance between the lateral eccentric block and the bottom of the shaft L L3 And the angle between the axial direction of the transverse eccentric block and the upper EF of the crank. δ .

[0019] Furthermore, in step S1, the determination of the target load is based on a simplified model of a single-set blade actuator, wherein the load includes the blade hydrodynamic thrust, the hydrodynamic blade rotation torque, the centrifugal force generated by the blade revolving around the center of the entire blade, and the inertial torque generated by the blade rotating around its own axis.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The simulated loading device for a straight-wing propeller and its component dimension parameterized design method can generate a load at the relevant part of the straight-wing propeller through the inertial load produced during its operation. This load is equivalent to the load transferred to that part in the water by the actual propeller, thus enabling the assessment of the propeller bearing capacity, the strength of the rotating housing mechanism, and the functional performance of the hydraulic system on land. This achieves a land-based alternative to underwater propeller testing, significantly reducing the difficulty of the test. The parameterized design method can quickly design the structural parameters of the simulated loading device suitable for different propeller models based on their structural parameters and load inputs.
