Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If single objective optimization of coaxiality is performed solely, then the coaxiality model is simple, but the model does not consider rotation errors around X-axis and Y-axis, unbalance parameter, and rigidity parameter, leading to incomplete vibration control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoaxiality model complexityVSAvoidvibration control completeness
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the vibration control problem into multiple independent optimization objectives: coaxiality optimization, rotation error correction (X and Y axes), unbalance parameter adjustment, and rigidity parameter optimization. Each segment is modeled and optimized separately but integrated together to achieve comprehensive vibration control, resolving the contradiction between model simplicity and control completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extends the optimization from a single coaxiality dimension to multiple dimensions by incorporating rotation errors around X-axis and Y-axis, unbalance parameters, and rigidity parameters. This multi-dimensional approach transforms the problem from scalar optimization to vector optimization, enabling comprehensive consideration of all key factors affecting vibration while maintaining systematic model structure.

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive models for coaxiality, unbalance, rigidity and vibration amplitude are established, then the measurement precision is improved, but the device complexity and calculation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration measurement precisionVSAvoidmeasuring model complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical measurement systems with a computational model-based approach. By establishing mathematical models for coaxiality, unbalance, rigidity, and vibration amplitude, the system uses calculation and simulation rather than purely mechanical measurement, thereby achieving high measurement precision while managing complexity through software rather than hardware complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms physical parameters (coaxiality, unbalance, rigidity) into measurable and adjustable model parameters. By changing the representation from physical dimensions to model parameters, the system achieves precise measurement and control while simplifying the complexity of direct physical measurement and adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary optimization calculations and simulations before actual assembly. By pre-calculating the optimal parameters for coaxiality, unbalance, rigidity, and vibration amplitude, the system reduces the time required during actual assembly operations. The preliminary computational work prepares adjustment schemes in advance, minimizing on-site adjustment time and computational delays during assembly.

AI summary

The present invention provides a deep learning regulation and control and assembly method and device for large-scale high-speed rotary equipment based on dynamic vibration response properties. The present invention starts from geometrical deviation of multiple stages of rotor/stator of an aircraft engine, amount of unbalance of rotor/stator, rigidity of rotor/stator and vibration amplitude of rotor/stator, considers the influence of the area of the assembly contact surface between two stages of rotors/stators, and sets the rotation speed of rotor/stator to be the climbing rotation speed to obtain vibration amplitude parameters. According to the calculation method of the coaxiality, amount of unbalance, rigidity and vibration amplitude of multiple stages of rotor/stator, an objective function taking assembly phases as variables is established, a Monte Carlo method is used to solve the objective function, and a probability density function is solved according to a drawn distribution function to obtain the probability relationship between the contact surface runout of the rotor/stator of the aircraft engine and the final coaxiality, amount of unbalance, rigidity and vibration amplitude of multiple stages of rotor/stator, thereby realizing assembly optimization and distribution of tolerances of multiple stages of rotor/stator.
