Description

Failsafe engine bed system
The present invention relates to engine bed, particularly a kind of with the fastening fail-safety engine mount aboard of jet engine.
Aero-engine is installed under the aircraft wing or close rear with engine bed usually.Usually provide mounting bracket with the distribution engine load for driving engine leading portion and driving engine back segment simultaneously.The representative type engine bed comprises a plurality of parts.One of them parts is top fabricated sections that are the plane substantially, and it has an erecting stage that is positioned at its upper limb, with this platform with engine installation to the supporting structure of aircraft, i.e. wing support or tail support.A plurality of U-lags are positioned at the root edge of top fabricated section, and along one section distribution of engine case.A plurality of connecting rods that insert simultaneously in top fabricated section and the engine shell U-lag are connected to driving engine on the supporting structure.What the leading portion of driving engine and back segment were used all is the support of this type.
Engine bed is designed to bear the various load in all stages in the flight course.These load comprise vertical load (engine weight adds maneuvering flight load), axial load (engine thrust causes), lateral loading (for example, the air-flow buffeting causes), and torque load (cause by the rotation of driving engine running, or cause because of the turbine blade loss).Engine mount also must adapt to driving engine expanding with heat and contract with cold with respect to frame.In cruising phase, the effect of expanding with heat and contract with cold is the most remarkable.When cruising, expanding with heat and contract with cold can cause and act on that the direction of power produces sizable variation on the engine mount.
Nearly all aero-engine frame all is designed to failsafe, can prevent that driving engine from separating with aircraft.An auxiliary or standby bearing system provides the fail safety operation.Common have two class ancillary systems.The first kind utilizes THR REV (for example transition fairing) to carry engine load.The second class utilization is positioned at originally on one's body padlock connecting rod of engine bed.The padlock connecting rod is the additional connecting rod that starts on the frame, and they do not carry usually during the driving engine normal operation.In case basic (being non-padlock) connecting rod breakage, the padlock connecting rod can carry engine load with remaining not damaged connecting rod.Many reasons all may cause the connecting rod breakage, comprise the breakage of pin or U-lag; Connecting rod cracking, be out of shape, come off or wrong the installation; The pin shear; Or the like.
In these two kinds of level twos, the application of THR REV system is more extensive.Unfortunately, for the large-scale Duct-Burning Turbofan of latest generation, for example be used for the driving engine on the Boeing 777, the THR REV system structurally is sufficient inadequately.Because the weight of this class driving engine can surpass 20,000 pounds, when engine mount is damaged,, need added weight to reach 200 pounds the anti-supporting structure that pushes away for driving engine is fixing aboard.Aboard, weight and space are most valuable, because use required weight of padlock connecting rod and space much less comparatively speaking, so be a kind of more effective solution.Now, known to the engine mount of padlock connecting rod seldom, and therein, have only a kind of it is introduced to be used for extremely heavy driving engine, just US Patent 5,275, introduced in No. 357 (hereinafter abbreviating " ' 357 patent " as).
' 357 patents have been introduced a kind of three push and pull system, and wherein, center rod is the padlock connecting rod.Center rod is not carried during normal operation, and this is because center rod is connected on the engine shell is an oversize hole.US Patent 5,303,880 (hereinafter referred is " ' 880 ") are similar to ' 357 patents, but have added replaceable lining.Though the heavy airplane driving engine can be carried in the system of these patent disclosures, the present invention has better Its ultimate bearing capacity.This ability shows the present invention in some fault type preferable, when blade for example occurring and falling alopecia motivation fault.Can further understand in the introduction from behind, a shock absorber is installed if desired, compare to ' 357 and ' 880 inventive embodiments, be easier to install this shock absorber in the embodiments of the invention.
Two components that engine mount known to the another kind comprises band transition spherical bearing from the padlock connecting rod.This design comprises five connecting rods: two vertical side levers, and a central horizontal connecting rod, and be clipped in two less vertical padlock connecting rods between each side lever and the center rod.But, when this double link is designed for heavy duty engine,, must reduce the branch branch unfriendly for all five connecting rods being contained between two trouble shape duct walls.And in the working process, if the center rod breakage, two less vertical links are difficult to carry the horizontal load of originally being born by center rod.This has caused the padlock connecting rod to produce " the granular crackle of fruit " or shear in its U-lag.And the required mounting groove that is positioned at the top fabricated section of this padlock connecting rod is darker and narrow, difficulty on the manufacturing process.The slideway of padlock connecting rod spherical bearing ball must be a purpose made.Because the free vibration in the attaching parts of engine mount of padlock connecting rod, so spherical bearing needs frequent maintenance.
So, needing a kind of senior fail safety engine mount that can carry extremely heavy aero-engine, its width can't significantly reduce two bifurcated pipe flows.This frame should possess enough vertical and Its ultimate bearing capacity when connecting rod is damaged, and should be in light weight and required shock absorber can be installed.This frame also should need less maintenance and less special fabrication processes than existing frame.Can be understood by following introduction, target of the present invention just provides a kind of so premium-quality fail safety engine mount.
According to the present invention, a kind of fail safety engine mount of using on the aircraft supporting structure that jet engine is connected to is provided, it can be fully distributed in engine load on each stand connecting rod during normal condition, and it still can keep connecting when engine mount breaks down.Engine mount manufactured according to the present invention, only need as requested the size of rack unit to be carried out a little change, just can connect all places (being the leading portion of driving engine or the back segment of driving engine) on aboard all places (that is, wing below or rear) or the driving engine.Engine mount manufactured according to the present invention comprises a top fabricated section, a plurality of connecting rod and a U-lag edge strip.The top fabricated section has one the top fabricated section is connected to erecting stage on the supporting structure.The U-lag edge strip is connected on the engine casing, and connecting rod is connected the top fabricated section with this U-lag edge strip.The strengthening rib zone that the top fabricated section also has a strengthening rib element of being strengthened by structure to constitute, it is close to erecting stage.The strengthening rib element intersects mutually, and formation can be carried the structural junction of applied stress and engine load.This structural junction layout can make engine mount compact more aspect height.
According to other aspects of the invention, a plurality of connecting rod comprises the first, second, third and the 4th connecting rod.The first and the 4th connecting rod lays respectively at the left and right side of engine mount, is generally straight-bar, is the basic vertical positioning linkage rod that is.First with the 4th connecting rod each with a bit being connected on the engine shell with a point on the fabricated section of top.Second connecting rod is the padlock connecting rod, and it has a first connecting rod arm, is used for when connecting rod a bit being connected point on the engine shell and top fabricated section when damaged occurring.The first connecting rod arm of second connecting rod is designed to not carry when the aircraft normal operation.Second connecting rod also has a second connecting rod arm that is used for stablizing the first connecting rod arm, and it is connected with first connecting rod arm one end.Third connecting rod comprises a first connecting rod arm that connects engine shell and top fabricated section.Third connecting rod also comprises a second connecting rod arm, and the one end is positioned at the point of connection of first connecting rod arm and top fabricated section.When connecting rod occurring when damaged, this second connecting rod arm is connected with on the driving engine a bit.When aircraft was in normal operative condition, the second connecting rod arm of third connecting rod was positioned at zero load position.Owing to only need four connecting rods, compare with five link design, also relative compact of this top fabricated section on width, thus help to reduce influence to two bifurcated pipes streams.
According to other aspects of the present invention, connecting rod and top fabricated section root edge be connected and connecting rod constituted with being connected by pin-U-lag attaching parts of engine shell, rotatable spherical bearing is arranged in this attaching parts.The bonded assembly position all is in the same plane all connecting rods, and this plane is the transversal plane of aircraft during with cruising flight.
According to other aspects of the invention, during normal operation, the main portion of the first and the 4th connecting rod carrying vertical load, and the first connecting rod arm load level load of third connecting rod.If first connecting rod breakage, second connecting rod can absorb an original part by the first connecting rod bearing load.If the third connecting rod breakage, second connecting rod can absorb the part of reason third connecting rod bearing load.If the 4th connecting rod breakage, another part of third connecting rod can absorb the part of reason the 4th connecting rod bearing load.Under above-mentioned each damaged condition, all only need the padlock connecting rod static state that just can guarantee engine mount that works to stabilize.Like this, if the connecting rod breakage, all vertical and horizontal loads can both be supported, and have prevented that driving engine from coming off from aircraft.
The invention provides a kind of later-model and obvious preferable engine mount.Particularly, retransmit motivation in order to be applicable to the utmost point, the various aspects of this frame are all optimized.If any connecting rod breakage takes place, the vertical and horizontal load of being carried by damaged connecting rod can both be distributed on the remaining connecting rod fully.Whole engine mount is quite compact, so just can optimize and utilize obtainable limited space on the jet airplane.The configuration of connecting rod makes the padlock connecting rod be in no-load condition under normal operation, has eliminated unnecessary wearing and tearing.And, there is not loose connecting rod vibration, also just reduced the wearing and tearing of parts.
