The aero-engine is the power source of civil aviation aircraft, and during the post-flight maintenance, the hole detection inspection of the engine is an important inspection method to ensure the safe operation of the civil aviation aircraft.
[0003] However, the engine just finished work is still in a high temperature state. In a high temperature environment, not only the probe of the hole detector will be damaged, but also the operator will be injured, which is not conducive to the post-flight maintenance. It often takes 3-4 hours to wait for the aero-engine to drop to the working temperature under the condition of natural cooling, which greatly prolongs the maintenance time of the civil aviation aircraft by the maintenance personnel, and such waiting time forces the civil aviation aircraft to be in an unnecessary idle state, thereby affecting the utilization rate of the civil aviation aircraft and the flight volume. How to speed up the cooling speed of the aero-engine has become a problem that we must seriously treat.
[0004] At present, when the civil aircraft operator needs to perform engine hole detection inspection, there are mainly three cooling methods besides natural cooling. The first method is engine cold start cooling. This method will affect the service life of the engine, and needs to be operated by a specially certified personnel, and needs to be approved by the tower and cleared. The whole process is complex and time-consuming, and cannot effectively improve the efficiency. The second method is to use a blowing device to blow external air into the engine from the engine air inlet to cool the engine. This method cannot achieve good cooling effect due to air flow dissipation. The third method is to use a device to extract air from the tail of the engine. The existing air extraction device usually has the disadvantages of large volume, heavy weight, complex fixing method and cumbersome operation, occupies more operating personnel, and increases the risk of damaging the engine and the fuselage.
