Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a casing self-aligning mechanism that can accurately measure the coaxiality of the engine pivot points, and belongs to the field of engine assembly technology. Background technology:

[0002] Modern turbojet aircraft engines operate at extremely high speeds, with some small engines reaching 40,000–50,000 rpm. Under these high-speed conditions, the coaxiality between the engine's support points must be maintained at a precise level. Otherwise, during installation, the rotors supported at these points will experience unacceptable bending, leading to excessive vibration during high-speed operation and potentially causing premature rotor failure and engine malfunction. Therefore, during assembly, it is crucial to ensure a sufficiently low coaxiality between the rotor's support points.

[0003] Currently, engine manufacturers mostly use coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to measure the coaxiality of engine pivot points. The primary drawback of using CMMs is their high cost. CMMs themselves have a complex structure and high manufacturing cost, and require regular maintenance and calibration to ensure measurement accuracy and reliability, further increasing operating costs. Additionally, CMMs have stringent environmental requirements, needing constant temperature, dustproof, vibration-proof, and humidity control, further increasing operating costs in environments such as aero-engine assembly.

[0004] In addition, coordinate measuring systems also have common operational problems such as high requirements for operator proficiency, easy damage to probes, and fluctuations in measurement accuracy, resulting in low detection efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is indeed necessary to improve existing technologies to address their shortcomings. Utility Model Content:

A first casing mating surface is formed on the casing support plate at the position of the first casing connection hole, and a second casing mating surface is formed at the position of the second casing connection hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a transition plane is formed on the casing support plate at a position between the second casing mating surface and the disk rim surface, and a weight reduction hole is formed on the transition plane.
