Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adjustable stator blade angle measurement technology for aerospace engines, specifically an adjustable stator blade angle displacement measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] Adjustable stator vanes (VSVs) are present in both aero engines and gas turbines. These are adjustable stator vanes on the inlet guide vanes and the first few stator stages of the high-pressure compressor. Compressor control parameters include speed and temperature. As the compressor speed decreases from its design value, the stator vane angle gradually closes to ensure the airflow reaches the appropriate angle on the subsequent rotor blades. As the compressor speed increases, the stator vane angle gradually widens. The operation of the VSV is controlled by a FADEC or a hydraulic-mechanical fuel controller. The FADEC or hydraulic-mechanical fuel controller controls the movement of the servo-operated VSV actuator, which is then transmitted to the actuator ring via the rocker arm assembly, main rod, and connecting rod. The actuator ring causes all blades connected to it to rotate simultaneously. The blade angle is adjusted by the controller controlling the forward and backward movement of the actuator cylinder, and the actual position is compared with the required position. During engine development, it is necessary to measure the relationship between the forward and backward displacement of the actuator cylinder and the blade angle to accurately determine their quantitative relationship, ensuring the control system's ability to achieve precise angle control.
[0003] However, traditional angle sensor acquisition devices rely on software instructions to query and acquire sensor data, similar to the operation of a PLC. This results in a low sampling rate, and the acquisition of blade angle and displacement is independent, with a time difference of hundreds of milliseconds between the sampled data. This makes it difficult to obtain an accurate relationship between angle and displacement, leading to significant errors in quantitative analysis, meaning that the correspondence between angle and displacement has a large deviation.
