摘要:
为探究提升航空发动机滑油系统润滑效果、实现多点位按需精确润滑的设计方法,提出了一种带挡油坝的轴向环下润滑结构,对其内部的油气两相流动过程和滑油流量分配特性开展了数值研究,在验证数值方法准确性的基础上,分析了供油流量、转速、供油温度和挡油坝周向夹角对花键和轴承的润滑流量及其分配比的影响规律,并揭示了影响因素的作用机制。结果表明:滑油在旋转离心作用下形成具有显著分相流动特征的连续油膜,经挡油坝分隔后输送至轴承和花键。在不同工况下,花键和轴承的流量分配比与挡油坝周向夹角比的相对偏差在6%以内,表现出良好的一致性。挡油坝周向夹角比越大,在初始阶段更多的滑油会滞留在收油腔内,导致出口流量减小;在稳定阶段出口流量比随挡油坝周向夹角比呈近似等比例线性变化,偏差最大为4.72%。相关研究验证了在不同工况下通过调节挡油坝周向夹角来控制流量分配关系的有效性,较好地实现了同时对轴承和花键按需精确润滑的要求。
Abstract:To study the design approaches for enhancing lubrication effect of aero-engine lubrication system and achieving precise, on-demand lubrication at multiple locations, an axial under-race lubrication structure with oil dam was presented. Numerical study was conducted on the internal oil-gas two-phase flow process and oil flow-rate distribution characteristics. Based on verifying the accuracy of the numerical methods, the influences of oil flow-rate, rotational speed, oil temperature, and the circumferential angle of oil dam on the oil flow-rate and distribution ratio of the lubricated spline and bearing were analyzed, and the mechanism of the factors was also revealed. The results indicated that the oil formed a continuous film with marked phase-separated flow characteristics under rotational centrifugation, and was delivered to the bearing and spline after being segregated by the oil dam. The relative deviation between the lubrication flow-rate of spline and bearing and the circumferential angle ratio of oil dam under different conditions remained within 6%, showing good consistency. The larger circumferential angle ratio of oil dam indicated the more oil trapped in the oil collection chamber during the initial state, resulting in reduced outlet flow-rate. The outlet flow-rate varied approximately linearly with the circumferential angle ratio of oil dam during the steady state, with a maximum deviation of 4.72%. Relevant studies validated the effectiveness of controlling flow-rate distribution by adjusting the circumferential angle of oil dam under varying conditions, achieving precise lubrication requirements for both bearing and spline as needed.
