Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical control, and in particular relates to an electrical control system suitable for ground modification of aircraft engines. Background Art
[0002] When an aircraft engine is installed on an aircraft, it is controlled by an onboard control system. These control components are usually installed on the aircraft and are not equipped with the engine, such as the starter box, air starter / electric starter, mechanical throttle assembly, etc. When the aircraft engine is transferred to ground use, these control components remain on the aircraft and are not equipped with the engine, so they cannot form a complete engine control system, and manual control signals cannot be transmitted to the engine itself. The missing control components need to be redesigned.
[0003] When aircraft engines are used on aircraft, they usually require special power supplies of various types. Most control components are powered by DC 27V, and some components require special power supplies, such as the intake angular displacement sensor requires a 36V / 400Hz excitation power supply, the surge pressure signal requires a 12V / 2KHz excitation power supply, and the engine vibration sensor signal is an AC voltage signal. These power supply methods and signal types are different from those on the ground, which also limits the modification and use of aircraft engines on the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to re-develop the design or selection of the power supply, sensors, actuators, etc. in the engine control system.
[0004] In addition, the control operation of aircraft engines is relatively professional and cumbersome, and usually requires professional training before operation. Operators need to pay attention to the many instruments in the cockpit at all times, manually operate the switch and throttle lever, and make real-time control adjustments according to the engine status. After the change to ground application, the user becomes an ordinary operator, who cannot perform correct operation. Therefore, a series of simplifications are needed to its electrical control system to make it easy to operate, one-button control, and over-control protection.
[0005] At present, many solutions still use mechanical starter boxes and mechanical push rods to control the throttle. The advantage of mechanical rod control is that it is simple and direct, and does not rely on the power supply system; the problem is that the processing, manufacturing and installation are cumbersome, and the work efficiency is low; secondly, the movement clearance of the connecting rod mechanism is large, and the connecting rod is easy to deform.
[0006] The onboard starter box is large in size, complex in structure, and has a high failure rate, making it unsuitable for ground use. The circuit principle of the starter box on an aircraft is complex, and the circuit is composed of numerous switches, relays, cams and other mechanisms. It is exquisitely designed, but the structure is complex, and the failure rate will inevitably be high after long-term use.
[0007] Servo motors are commonly used in throttle control in electronic control solutions. Compared with mechanical levers, servo motors have higher control accuracy, but they are expensive, heavy, difficult to install, have high power consumption, and require a lot of electricity.
[0008] In the electronic control scheme, a controller combining a single-chip microcomputer and a simple circuit is generally used to control the fuel. This scheme has poor scalability and reliability and is not suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
[0009] In the onboard control system, there is no automatic detection of the prohibited start conditions, which mainly rely on manual inspection, and there is no automated method to detect with high reliability.
[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the electrical control to make it easy to operate, one-button controllable and with over-control protection. Utility Model Content

[0050] The control module 2 is the core of the entire electrical control system. All signal reading, analysis, judgment and execution are completed by the control module, and the operation time of the PLC controller is in milliseconds, which can control the engine operation status in a timely and accurate manner.

[0055] The throttle control module 5 includes two parts, a fuel supply component and a throttle opening control component. The fuel supply component includes a fuel tank 5-1, an oil pump 5-2, a fuel pipeline 5-3, a pipeline solenoid valve 5-4, a manual main valve 5-5 and a fuel pressure transmitter 5-6. During the startup process, the PLC controller 2-1 automatically starts the oil pump 5-2, opens the pipeline solenoid valve 5-4, and supplies fuel to the combustion chamber of the aircraft engine 7.
[0056] The throttle opening control component is controlled in two ways. One is a human-machine interface control.

When the corresponding button is clicked, the throttle motor 5-10 automatically pushes the fuel adjustment rocker arm of the aircraft engine 7 to the corresponding position. The other is a manual throttle joystick 5-7 installed on the operating table. When the throttle joystick 5-7 is pushed forward, the throttle of the aircraft engine 7 is increased. When the throttle joystick 5-7 is pulled back, the throttle of the aircraft engine 7 is reduced.

[0059] like Figure 7 , 8 As shown, preferably, the starting module 6 includes an ignition relay 6-1, an engine ignition accessory 6-2, a hydraulic oil tank 6-3, a hydraulic pump 6-4, a hydraulic pipeline 6-5, a hydraulic solenoid valve 6-6 and a hydraulic motor 6-7, the ignition relay 6-1 is respectively connected to the power supply module 1 and the PLC controller 2-1, the output end of the ignition relay 6-1 is connected to the engine ignition accessory 6-2, the engine ignition accessory 6-2 is connected to the ignition nozzle of the aircraft engine 7, the output end of the hydraulic oil tank 6-3 is connected to the hydraulic pump 6-4 through the hydraulic pipeline 6-5, the output end of the hydraulic pump 6-4 is connected to the hydraulic solenoid valve 6-6 through the hydraulic pipeline 6-5, the hydraulic solenoid valve 6-6 is respectively connected to the hydraulic motor 6-7 and the hydraulic oil tank 6-3, and the hydraulic motor 6-7 is connected to the high-pressure rotor of the aircraft engine 7.
[0060] The start module 6 is mainly used in the engine start process. After pressing the start button through the human-machine interface 3, the hydraulic pump 6-4 starts to rotate, and the high-pressure rotor of the aircraft engine 7 is driven to rotate through the hydraulic motor 6-7. At the same time, the PLC controller 2-1 controls the ignition of the ignition nozzle of the aircraft engine 7 through the ignition relay 6-1. When the aircraft engine 7 is ignited successfully and reaches a certain speed, the hydraulic pump 6-4 automatically stops working. The human-machine interface 3 will display the relevant data of the hydraulic system in real time, including hydraulic temperature, hydraulic torque, hydraulic speed, etc., for the operator to observe.
[0061] Example 5
[0062] like Figure 4As shown, preferably, the console 4 is installed with a human-machine interface touch screen 3, a fire button 4-1, an oil pump button 4-2, a pipeline solenoid valve button 4-3 and a throttle joystick 5-7, and the human-machine interface touch screen, the fire button 4-1, the oil pump button 4-2 and the pipeline solenoid valve button 4-3 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 2-1 respectively.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the human-machine interface touch screen displays high-speed rotor speed, low-pressure rotor speed, exhaust temperature, fuel pressure, lubricating oil pressure, vibration, lubricating oil temperature, signal light, start mode and throttle position.
[0064] The console 4 is also provided with an emergency module. The human-machine interface 3 and the throttle joysticks 5-7 are all installed on the console 4. The human-machine interface 3 can display various parameters of the engine in real time. The operator can control and detect the engine on the console 4.
[0065] The operation of the aircraft engine 7 by the electronic control system of the utility model is all carried out in the human-machine interface 3. The screen is clear and concise, and the operation process is simple. It can be started and stopped with one button. When misoperation is handled in the program and a fault occurs, the PLC controller will automatically take countermeasures. It has a high degree of automation and a low degree of dependence on operators. General technicians can operate it after simple training.
[0066] The human-machine interface 3 is provided with a button that can control the throttle opening. Clicking the button controls the throttle to a predetermined position. Various sensors such as displacement sensors (fixed on the throttle motor, the sensor pull rope head moves synchronously with the motor push rod head), pressure sensors (one each before the fuel nozzle and after the lubricating oil filter), and liquid level sensors (installed on the fuel tank) enter the PLC controller 2-1 through the PLC controller input terminal, and display various parameters of the aircraft engine 7 on the industrial touch human-machine interface. Before the aircraft engine 7 is started, the PLC controller 2-1 automatically performs a self-check, and the self-check result is displayed on the human-machine interface. If it can be started, it will display "self-check completed, can be started"; if the self-check fails, it cannot be started, and it will display "self-check completed, cannot be started".
[0067] A start button is provided on the human-machine interface 3. After the self-test is completed and the engine can be started, click the start button and the internal program of the PLC controller 2-1 will control the aircraft engine 7 to start according to the predetermined start sequence. This program is an existing program and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0068] The human-machine interface 3 is connected to the PLC controller 2-1, which is used to control the actuator and display the engine parameters, and can detect various parameters of the engine. When the startup conditions are not met or a fault occurs during the operation of the engine, a warning box pops up. This human-machine interface adopts a mature and reliable industrial touch human-machine interface with a large interface size and high resolution, which can adapt to harsh industrial scenarios. Compared with traditional physical buttons, the design is more user-friendly, the interface is more convenient to change, the degree of customization is higher, and it is more convenient to detect and monitor the engine status and parameters, as well as to set engine parameters and control the engine's actuators.
[0069] During the starting process of aircraft engine 7, if a parameter failure occurs, such as excessive exhaust temperature, excessive engine vibration, or it is manually determined that the starting conditions are not met and the start must be terminated, the start termination button is pressed, and the start sequence will be immediately terminated, and the corresponding electromagnetic valve and throttle opening of aircraft engine 7 will return to the initial state.
[0070] After the aircraft engine 7 starts normally and enters the high state, when a parameter failure occurs, such as excessive exhaust temperature, low lubricating oil pressure, excessive vibration, etc., the PLC controller 2-1 immediately makes a judgment to pull the throttle to the slow or parking position to reduce the engine operating state to avoid expanding the impact and causing greater damage to the engine.
[0071] When an emergency occurs, such as fire or exhaust temperature exceeding the maximum limit, the operator can press the emergency stop button on the console 4. At this time, the PLC controller 2-1 will make a judgment and control the output at the same time, stop the machine and cut off the oil circuit until the engine stops.
[0072] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

The fuel supply component and the throttle opening control component can be controlled by the human-machine interface 3. The throttle opening control component can also be controlled by the throttle joystick 5-7 alone. The components are electrically connected to start the aircraft engine. The connection of the components is simple, which reduces the difficulty of installation and processing. The fuel supply component is controlled by the PLC controller to supply fuel to the aircraft engine 7, the throttle opening control component is controlled to control the size of the throttle, the starting module 6 is controlled to start the high-pressure rotor of the aircraft engine 7 through the hydraulic motor 6-7, and the ignition nozzle of the aircraft engine 7 is controlled to ignite.
