Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the engine detection field, especially related to a kind of engine thrust platform locking device and engine thrust force measuring equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the diversity of engine and the change of test environment, in order to realize the axial thrust measurement of different distances.Usually, different range measurement components are replaced for testing, but this is inefficient, and the installation precision is reduced, and the test result has large error.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the measurement accuracy of engine axial thrust, the engine horizontal thrust can be indirectly obtained by measuring the vertical downward pressure of the engine, for example, in the patent with publication number CN114216688B, a micro turbine engine thrust measuring device is disclosed.The device is mainly composed of a force dynamic support, an engine mounting clamp, a balance bar, a front balance block, a rear balance block, a ball bearing, a force static support and a force bar.The micro turbine engine is horizontally fixed on the device, and the engine tail nozzle direction is to the right.The ball bearing is fixed on the force static support, the force dynamic support is connected with the force static support through the ball bearing, the force dynamic support can rotate around the ball bearing, and the front balance block and the rear balance block on the balance bar are adjusted to make the thrust measuring device in the balanced state.After the engine starts, the force dynamic support rotates counterclockwise around the ball bearing under the left thrust, and the pressure sensor fixed on the experimental platform receives the vertical downward pressure of the force bar, and converts the measurement value of the pressure sensor into the thrust value of the micro turbine engine.

[0004] Although the micro turbine engine thrust measuring device mentioned in the above patent can solve the problem of inaccurate measurement of different ranges, in the measurement, the front balance block and the rear balance block on the balance bar need to be adjusted to make the thrust measuring device in the balanced state, which may be relatively complex and difficult to control accurately, and small deviation of the balanced state may cause error of the measurement result, thereby causing inaccurate engine thrust measurement.

[0043] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below.

[0044] Based on this, the present invention provides an engine thrust table locking device and an engine thrust measuring device. The engine thrust table locking device provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below first.

[0045] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an engine thrust table locking device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 This is another structural schematic diagram of an engine thrust platform locking device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection relationship between the engine thrust platform locking device and the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figures 1-3 As shown, the engine thrust platform locking device may include the following structure:

[0046] Example 1;

[0047] The engine thrust platform locking device 1 is connected to the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 and is used to lock the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2. The engine thrust platform locking device 1 includes:

[0048] Base 11,

[0049] Slide rail 12 is mounted side by side on base 11;

[0050] Drive assembly 13 is mounted on base 11 and is connected to engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 for driving engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 to move along slide rail 12.

[0051] The sliding positioning component 14 is connected to the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 and is slidably connected to the slide rail 12, and is used to fix the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 on the slide rail 12.

[0052] By setting the slide rail 12 and mounting it on the base 11, the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 is connected to the drive assembly 13 and the sliding positioning assembly 14. The drive assembly 13 provides a driving force to the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2. Under the action of the driving force, the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 slides on the slide rail 12 through the sliding positioning assembly 14. The control device can send a fixing signal to the sliding positioning assembly 14 and a stop driving signal to the drive assembly 13. After receiving the stop driving signal, the drive assembly 13 stops driving the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 to move on the slide rail 12. After receiving the fixing signal, the sliding positioning assembly 14 is fixed on the slide rail 12, thereby allowing the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 to be fixed. Therefore, the engine thrust tester thrust measuring device 2 can freely adjust the driving distance through the driving component 13, and can be fixed on the slide rail 12 at any time by the sliding positioning component 14, so as to facilitate fixation when testing engine thrust, thereby improving the accuracy of engine thrust detection by the engine thrust tester thrust measuring device 2.

[0053] Optionally, in one example, the drive assembly 13 may include: a drive motor 131; and a lead screw 132 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 131.

[0054] The lead screw nut 133 is connected to the lead screw 132 and is connected to the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 131 rotates so that the lead screw nut 133 drives the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 to move along the length of the slide rail 12.

[0055] After receiving the drive signal, the output shaft of the drive motor 131 starts to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw 132 to rotate. When the lead screw 132 rotates, it also drives the lead screw nut 133 to rotate. The lead screw nut 133 can move along the axial direction of the lead screw through the rotation of the lead screw, thereby realizing the conversion of force and motion direction. Thus, while the lead screw nut 133 is rotating, it can drive the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 132. The engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 is slidably connected to the slide rail 12 through the sliding positioning component 14. Therefore, the lead screw nut 133 can also drive the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 to move along the length direction of the slide rail 12.

[0056] The drive motor 131 is a servo motor. The servo motor has an absolute encoder to determine the current position and uploads the current position data through Profinet communication. In order to prevent equipment damage caused by the loss of encoder position, the drive component 13 can also be equipped with two limit switches connected to the servo motor to protect the engine thrust table locking device 1 and determine the origin position.

[0057] Optionally, in one example, the drive assembly 13 may further include a speed reducer 134, the input end of which is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 131, and the output end of which is connected to the lead screw 132.

[0058] Typically, the drive motor 131 generates a high rotational speed after receiving the drive signal, resulting in a rapid displacement rate for the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2. However, if the displacement rate of the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2 is too fast, it will be difficult to fix the engine thrust table thrust measuring device 2, and the fixation accuracy will be difficult. Therefore, a reducer 134 is required. The input end of the reducer 134 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 131, and the output end of the reducer 134 is connected to the lead screw 132. This way, the lead screw 132 and the drive motor 131 are not directly connected. The rotational speed of the output shaft of the drive motor 131 is reduced by the reducer 134 before being output to the lead screw 132.

[0059] Optionally, in one example, the drive assembly 13 may further include a coupling 135, one end of which is connected to the output end of the reducer 134, and the other end of which is connected to the lead screw 132. By setting the coupling 135, the reducer 134 and the lead screw 132 can be effectively connected, while also reducing vibration between the reducer 134 and the lead screw 132 and improving the transmission efficiency between them.

[0060] Optionally, in one example, the drive assembly 13 may further include a bearing housing 136, which is mounted on the base 11, and the lead screw 132 passes through and is rotatably connected to the bearing housing 136. The bearing housing 136 supports the lead screw 132, enabling it to bear the axial and radial loads of the lead screw 132, support its rotation, and reduce vibrations caused by its excessive length.

[0061] Alternatively, in one example, the slide rail 12 is a linear slide rail 12, and the lead screw 132 is arranged in parallel with the slide rail 12.

[0062] By setting the slide rail 12 as a linear slide rail 12 and making the lead screw 132 parallel to the slide rail 12, the lead screw 132 rotates to drive the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 to move along the length direction of the lead screw 132. At the same time, the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 can also move more smoothly on the slide rail 12 through the sliding positioning component 14, reducing the possibility of shaking when the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 slides on the slide rail 12, which is beneficial to improving the sliding stability of the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] Alternatively, in one example, the sliding positioning component 14 may include:

[0065] Positioning block 141 is fixedly connected to the thrust measuring device 2 of the engine thrust platform. Positioning block 141 is used to fix the slide rail 12 according to the positioning signal.

[0066] After receiving the positioning signal, the positioning block 141 can clamp the slide rail 12 to fix it. The positioning block 141 is fixedly connected to the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2. Therefore, by clamping the slide rail 12 with the positioning block 141, the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 can be made stationary, thereby positioning the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2.

[0067] Furthermore, a positioning signal can be sent to the positioning block 141 via a hydraulic device, and the positioning block 141 can be hydraulically controlled to clamp or loosen the slide rail 12. Specifically, the drive motor 131 drives the hydraulic device to generate pressure, which is stored in an accumulator and output to the positioning block 141 via a brake solenoid valve, so that the positioning block 141 can unlock or lock the platform. A pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure in the accumulator to control the start and stop of the drive motor 131, so that the drive motor 131 stops driving when the positioning block 141 clamps the slide rail 12, or starts driving simultaneously when the positioning block 141 loosens the slide rail 12. Thus, the positioning block 141 and the drive motor 131 jointly complete the position adjustment and locking function of the engine thrust platform locking device 1.

[0068] Optionally, in one example, the sliding positioning component 14 further includes:

[0069] Sliding block 142, one end of which is fixedly connected to the thrust measuring device 2 of the engine thrust platform, and the other end of which is slidably connected to the slide rail 12.

[0070] The sliding block 142 is fixedly connected to the thrust measuring device 2 of the engine thrust platform at one end and slidably connected to the slide rail 12 at the other end, so that the sliding block 142 can slide freely on the slide rail 12, thereby driving the thrust measuring device 2 of the engine thrust platform to move on the slide rail 12.

[0071] Preferably, the sliding block 142 can be a pulley that matches the slide rail 12.

[0072] Optionally, in one example, there are two slide rails 12 arranged side by side; the number of slide rails 12 corresponds to the number of sliding positioning components 14.

[0073] By arranging two slide rails 12 side by side, the sliding block 142 can slide more stably on the slide rails 12, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the engine thrust platform thrust measuring device 2 during sliding. Furthermore, the number of slide rails 12 corresponds to the number of sliding positioning components 14, thereby ensuring that each slide rail 12 has a sliding positioning component 14 to achieve sliding and positioning, ensuring both the stability of sliding and the effectiveness of positioning.

[0074] More specifically, in each group of sliding positioning components 14, there can be multiple sliding blocks 142 and positioning blocks 141. In this embodiment, there are two slide rails 12 and two groups of sliding positioning components 14. Each group of sliding positioning components 14 includes one positioning block 141 and two sliding blocks 142. In other embodiments, the number of slide rails 12 and sliding positioning components 14, and the number of sliding blocks 142 and positioning blocks 141 in each sliding positioning component 14 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Therefore, this utility model does not impose specific limitations on the number of slide rails 12, sliding positioning components 14, sliding blocks 142 and positioning blocks 141.

[0075] In the above embodiment 2, each structure in the above embodiment 1 is included, and each process in the above embodiment 1 can be implemented, achieving the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0079] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working processes of the systems, modules, and units described above can be referred to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
