Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation equipment, and more specifically, to an off-site detection tool for a helicopter engine bleed valve. Background Art

[0002] The bleed valve of a helicopter engine is an important component to prevent engine surge, also known as the anti-surge system, and the timing of opening and closing the bleed valve directly affects the engine's performance. If the bleed valve is closed early, the compressor intake volume will not meet the compressor speed requirement, causing a certain amount of back pressure to form in front of the compressor, causing the air pressure in front of the compressor to be turbulent, and the airflow will oscillate along the compressor axis with low frequency and high amplitude, causing strong vibration of the working parts, producing continuous low whistling sounds, and severe cases will be accompanied by blasting sounds, so it is called the engine "blasting" phenomenon, so the accurate detection of the opening and closing timing of the helicopter engine bleed valve is an important part of the test inspection. Usually, the helicopter engine bleed valve detection is composed of test personnel, ground gesture communication personnel, and bleed valve airflow monitoring personnel standing on the external fuel tank. The airflow from the helicopter's bleed valve is high-temperature, which can easily cause burns to the monitoring personnel. There are no safety protection measures at the monitoring position, so there is a risk of falling. In addition, due to the large number of people involved, the gesture transmission delay is long (the calculated delay time is about 2 seconds), and the test personnel have to monitor the gestures and engine speed at the same time, which can easily cause inaccurate opening and closing time of the bleed valve, affecting the test safety of the helicopter and flight safety.
