Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turboshaft engines, and more specifically, it is a cable system for a turboshaft engine test bench. Background Technique
[0002] The function of the cable system of the test bench is to enable workers to control the engine by operating the handle in the control room; through two cables, the power control lever and the governor control lever on the engine fuel regulator are respectively controlled and connected to the handle in the control room; when the handle is operated, it is transmitted to the throttle rocker arm of the oil pump regulator on the engine through the cable system to control the size of the throttle switch and the supply and cut-off of the engine fuel; when the throttle operating handle moves forward, the fuel increasing cable is tensioned, and the throttle moves in the direction of increasing fuel supply; when the throttle operating handle moves backward, the fuel decreasing cable is tensioned, and the throttle moves in the direction of decreasing fuel quantity.
[0003] The existing throttle cables are relatively simple in design. Due to differences in engine models, cable installation adaptation, etc., there is no fixed support for the cables, and the structure connecting the cables is unreasonable, which easily leads to the situation where the cable movement is blocked. This makes it difficult for workers to accurately control the engine to complete the test, and at the same time, it will also shorten the service life of the cable.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a cable system that provides fixed support for the cable system, enables the operating handle to move smoothly and is not prone to jamming. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the above background technique, and provide a cable system for a turboshaft engine test bench.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is: a cable system for a turboshaft engine test bench, characterized in that: it includes a cable, a rigid protective sleeve and a fixing device;
[0007] The outer ring of the cable is threadedly connected to the rigid protective sleeve, and a first universal ball head is arranged inside the joint of the cable;
[0008] The rigid protective sleeve is provided with a second universal ball head at its threaded connection with the cable;
[0009] The first universal ball head is connected to the engine fuel regulator through a first connecting rod;
[0010] The second universal ball head is connected to the fixing device through a second connecting rod;
[0011] The fixing device is installed on the engine fuel regulator.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the fixing device includes a mounting plate installed on the engine fuel regulator, an adjusting bracket connected to the mounting plate, and a valve bracket detachably connected to the adjusting bracket; the second connecting rod is detachably connected to the valve bracket.
[0013] In the above technical solution, a plurality of adjusting holes are evenly spaced on the adjusting bracket, and the valve bracket is detachably connected to the adjusting holes.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the installation angle between the valve bracket and the adjusting hole is adjustable.
[0015] In the above technical solution, an installation groove is provided on the valve bracket, and the second connecting rod passes through the installation groove and is fixed to the installation groove by two nuts on the top and bottom surfaces of the installation groove.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] 1) The present utility model fixes and supports the cable system, making the operating handle smooth and not easily stuck; enabling the operator to accurately control the engine to complete the test, and at the same time greatly improving the service life of the cable.
[0018] 2) The cable of the present utility model is a flexible cable. The flexible cable saves space. The flexible cable is connected to the rigid protective sleeve by a thread. The rigid protective sleeve provides sufficient supporting force for the flexible cable to prevent the flexible cable from bending and deforming when adjusting the engine fuel regulator, resulting in low force transmission efficiency and difficult operation.
[0019] 3) The present utility model is provided with a second universal ball head at the threaded connection and fixation of the rigid protective sleeve and the flexible cable. The rigid protective sleeve makes most of the force generated during the movement of the cable concentrated at the fixed point, and the second universal ball head can well relieve this resultant force, avoiding cable jamming, making the cable extend and retract more smoothly when pushing the power control rod and the governor control rod, and greatly improving the service life of the cable.
[0020] 4) A first universal ball head is arranged inside the joint of the cable of the present utility model. The first universal ball head is connected to the power control rod and the governor control rod through a first connecting rod, and can rotate flexibly when the cable extends and retracts, avoiding the cable movement being blocked, making the cable extend and retract more smoothly when pushing the power control rod and the governor control rod.
[0021] 5) A plurality of adjusting holes are evenly arranged on the adjusting bracket of the present utility model. The adjusting holes at different distances can be used for different models of engines; at the same time, by manually rotating the valve bracket, any angle can be adjusted during installation, enabling the cable to quickly and reliably adapt to the fuel regulators of various models of engines.
[0022] 6) A second connecting rod is provided on the second universal ball head of the utility model. The second connecting rod is fixed in the valve support by two nuts, and the installation is convenient and fast. Description of the Drawings
