Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft engine power converters, in particular to a power converter device. Background Art

[0002] The power converter unit (PCU) is used to control, regulate, and protect the aircraft engine power subsystem, and provide interfaces for other aircraft engine subsystems. Its normal operation is the basis for ensuring the normal power supply or power consumption of each aircraft engine subsystem, and it is one of the most important subsystems of aircraft engines. With the increasing demand for electricity from aircraft and engines, the power of the power converter unit (PCU) has been increasing, and has now reached several kilowatts. It carries a large number of printed circuit boards and electronic components, so shock absorption and heat dissipation are important issues that must be considered in its design process. Existing engine power converter units (PCUs) are generally installed on the engine. On the one hand, the engine will generate high temperatures when it is working, and if it is not cooled in time, it will fail. On the other hand, the engine will generate vibration when it is working. Under the influence of vibration, the electronic components in the power converter (PCU) and the plug assembly with connecting lines installed at both ends may be separated from the power converter (PCU) due to the vibration, which will cause the engine power converter (PCU) to fail. Therefore, the engine will be equipped with a shock-absorbing design for the power converter (PCU). By setting a mounting surface on the outer casing of the engine, spring sheets, sponge rubber, steel wire ropes and other elastic elements are installed on the power converter (PCU) as shock absorbers. However, this type of shock absorber is not suitable for high temperature and high vibration conditions, and setting a mounting platform on the casing will increase the weight of the engine and change the overall center of mass of the engine, increasing the difficulty of the overall structural layout.

[0005] Preferably, the number of the bolts and nuts is six groups, and the six groups of bolts and nuts are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting support plate. Here, the multiple groups of symmetrical design of bolts and nuts can firmly fix the power converter on the surface of the mounting support plate, thereby effectively reducing the impact of engine vibration.
