The present disclosure relates to the field of material performance test, more specifically to an ultrahigh-temperature wind tunnel erosion testing system.
When an aeroengine runs at a high speed, there are more fuel combustion products with large air flow, large flame flow and high temperature. These complex environments are an ultimate test for an internal hot end component of the engine. At present, a thermal barrier coating is mostly used as a key surface structural material of the internal hot end component of the engine. In an actual service process, the thermal barrier coating is in an extremely harsh and complex thermal, mechanical and chemical coupling environment, so that the thermal barrier coating may crack, fall off, be separated from an interface, or be subjected to other failures and breakages. Therefore, before an aeroengine is put into service, it is necessary to perform service environment assessment, i.e. a wind tunnel test, on the aeroengine. The wind tunnel test is extremely expensive. In order to reduce the cost, it is necessary to develop a low-cost testing system to simulate the wind tunnel test, so as to complete the material performance test on the thermal barrier coating.
Chinese patent application CN103091189A discloses a testing device for simulating a service environment of a thermal barrier coating and detecting a failure of the thermal barrier coating in real time. The testing device includes a testing platform provided with a static or dynamic rotatable sample clamping device, a service environment simulation module, a real-time detection module, a control platform, and the like. The service environment simulation module includes a high-temperature gas spray gun that can simulate high-temperature thermal fatigue, temperature gradient, erosion and corrosion of a thermal barrier coating turbine blade, an erosion particle feeding system, a corrosion service environment module and a gas transportation system. Integrated simulation of various destruction processes such as thermal fatigue, high-temperature corrosion and high-temperature erosion is realized by means of simulating a high-temperature, erosion and corrosion service environment of the thermal barrier coating turbine blade of the aeroengine.
However, the testing device in the prior art can only test one type of test pieces. If other types of test pieces are required to be tested, the previous test piece needs to be removed.

The testing device can adopt a testing machine for the mechanical properties of a material, thus achieving a material performance test under the combined action of a complex mechanical load and high-temperature high-speed erosion.
The fuel system 1 includes a first storage tank 111, a second storage tank 112 and a gas path control device 12. The first storage tank 111 stores fuel. The second storage tank 112 stores liquid oxygen. The first storage tank 111 and the second storage tank 112 are connected with the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 through the gas path control device 12, so that the fuel and the liquid oxygen enter the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 and are combusted in the high-speed erosion spray gun to form the high-temperature flame flow. The gas path control device 12 can control the volumes of the fuel and liquid oxygen entering the high-speed erosion spray gun 3, thus achieving accurate control of a temperature. An ultrahigh temperature of 2000° C. or above can be achieved through the fuel system 1.
Specifically, the first storage tank 111 and the second storage tank 112 are provided with valves (not shown in the figure). The gas path control device 12 controls the valves to adjust the temperature. Preferably, the valves have adjustable opening degrees, thus achieving accurate control of temperature.
The erosion system 2 includes a gas source 21 and an erosion particle device 22 which communicate with each other. The erosion particle device 22 is connected with the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. The erosion particle device 22 stores erosion particles, and can calculate and adjust the number of particles. The erosion particles can be particulate matters of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide or the like, which are not melted at this temperature. High-pressure gas generated by the gas source 21 pushes the erosion particles inside the erosion particle device 22 into the high-speed erosion spray gun 3, and the erosion particles are combined with the high-temperature flame flow to form the high-temperature high-speed erosion particles. In order to accurately measure and control the number of particles, a filter (not shown in the figures) is arranged between the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 and the erosion particle device 22. An observable instrument is arranged inside the erosion particle device 22 to observe parameters such as an intake pressure of transportation and a gas transportation flow rate.
The high-speed erosion spray gun 3 is internally provided with a laval nozzle structure, so that a gas flow passing by can change from a subsonic speed to a sound speed and is even accelerated to a supersonic speed, and the sprayer head can be replaced according to a test requirement to achieve speed adjustment. By means of the laval nozzle structure, this embodiment can achieve a high speed of 6.5 Mach
If the speed is greater than the sound speed, larger noise will be caused. In order to reduce the noise impact, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the high-speed erosion spray gun 3, the lifting and rotating mechanism 4, the test piece fixture 5 and the testing device are arranged in one sound insulation and noise reduction room 6.
In one embodiment, the ultrahigh-temperature wind tunnel erosion testing system further includes a heat discharging device 7, arranged outside the sound insulation and noise reduction room 6 and having one end (a heat discharging end) extending into one side, far from the high-speed erosion spray gun 3, of the test piece fixture 5 in the sound insulation and noise reduction room 6 to transport waste heat generated by the high-temperature combustion of the fuel out of the room, thus avoiding thermal erosion to the entire device caused by the heat and particulate dust in the test.
A non-contact temperature measuring device 81 and a thermocouple 82 are also arranged in the sound insulation and noise reduction room 6. The non-contact temperature measuring device 81 is used for measuring a temperature of one side (the front side) of the test piece fixture close to the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. The thermocouple 82 is arranged on a temperature of the side of the test piece fixture 5 far from the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 and is used for measuring a temperature of the other side (the back side) of the test piece fixture 5. A temperature comparison test is carried out on the two temperatures. The non-contact temperature measuring device 81 can adopt a photoelectrical colorimeter.
A control device 9 is also arranged outside the sound insulation and noise reduction room 6, and is connected with the fuel system 1, the erosion system 2, the non-contact temperature measuring device 81 and the thermocouple 82 respectively. When an actual temperature of the test piece fixture 5 is greater than or less than a set temperature, the temperature of the test piece fixture 5 is adjusted by means of adjusting the volumes of the fuel and the liquid oxygen in the fuel system 1.
The control device 9 can also be configured to collect testing information in a testing process and store the testing information for reading and analysis of data. The testing information includes erosion temperature and time, temperatures of front and back surfaces of the test piece, a difference between the temperature of the front surface and the temperature of the back surface, and the like. In one feasible implementation, the control device 9 is a computer.

When the wedge-shaped test piece 511 or the circular test piece 521 is eroded to a set temperature, the testing device tests the material performance of the test piece, thus obtaining testing data of the test piece under the high-temperature erosion environment.
A material of the test piece may be a metal material, a non-metal material or a metal and non-metal combined material.
It can be understood that the test piece fixture 5 can also include a rectangular test piece fixture, a hollow tube test piece fixture, or test piece fixtures of other shapes according to a requirement, so as to realize a material erosion performance test on a plurality of groups of test pieces.

An outer side of the rotary bracket 402 is sleeved with a supporting nut 403, a connecting ring 404, a supporting spring 405, a guide sleeve 407, a transition sleeve 410 and a top cover 411 in sequence from bottom to top. The supporting nut 403 and the rotary bracket 402 are in threaded connection. The connecting ring 404, the supporting spring 405 and the guide sleeve 407 can rotate around the rotary bracket 402 and move up and down along the rotary bracket 402. The transition sleeve 410 and the rotary bracket 402 are in threaded connection. The top cover 411 is connected with the rotary bracket 402 through a bearing, so that the top cover can rotate around the rotary bracket 402. A cantilever supporting plate 408 is fixed on an outer side of the guide sleeve 407 through a screw. A rotary sleeve 414 is fixed on the cantilever supporting plate 408. A mounting frame 419 is arranged on the top cover 411. The guide wheel 412 is mounted on the mounting frame 419 through a shaft, and thus can rotate around the shaft. A weight 409 is arranged inside the rotary bracket 402. A hanging ring 415 is arranged on the weight 409. A steel wire rope 413 is wound on the guide wheel 412. Two ends of the steel wire rope 413 are respectively connected with the hanging ring 415 and the rotary sleeve 414. That is, the weight 409 is connected with the cantilever supporting plate 408 through a pulley mechanism.
The high-speed erosion spray gun 3 is fixed at one end of the cantilever supporting plate 408. The weight of the weight 409 is equal to the weight of the cantilever supporting plate 408 and the weight of the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 to counteract the impact of the weight. In this way, the weight 409 achieves a balance state with the cantilever supporting plate 408 and the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. The cantilever supporting plate 408 can move up or down by means of applying a tiny force to it.
The transition sleeve 410 is provided with a rotary handle 4101. The transition sleeve 410 can be tightened or loosened by means of the rotary handle 4104, so as to rotate around the rotary bracket 402 and move up and down.
A translational handle 4081 is arranged on the cantilever supporting plate 408. The cantilever supporting plate 408 and the guide sleeve 407 can be pushed by the translational handle 4081 to rotate around the rotary bracket 402.
The supporting spring 405 is in a compressed state, and two ends are in contact with the connecting ring 404 and the guide sleeve 407 respectively to help the cantilever supporting plate 408 to be lifted. A dust guard 406 sleeves the supporting spring 405 and the guide sleeve 407 and is used for protecting the supporting spring 405 and keeping it clean. An upper end and a lower end of the dust guard 406 are respectively fixedly connected with the cantilever supporting plate 408 and the connecting ring 404. In this way, the cantilever supporting plate 408, the dust guard 406 and the connecting ring 404 can synchronously rotate.
The lifting and rotating mechanism 4 further includes a guide column 416, a locking sleeve 417 and a locking nut 418. The guide column 416 is fixed on the base 401 through the locking sleeve 417. A guide slot 4041 is arranged on the connecting ring 404. One end of the guide column 416 passes through the guide slot 4041 and can slide in the guide slot 4041. When the connecting ring 404 rotates to a certain position, the locking nut 418 locks an upper end of the guide column 416 to the connecting ring 404, thus limiting the position of the connecting ring 404 and making the connecting ring not rotate again.
The working principle of the lifting and rotating mechanism of the present disclosure is as follows:
When the transition sleeve 410 is tightened by means of the rotary handle 4101, the transition sleeve 410 will rotate. A downward force is applied to the cantilever supporting plate 408, so that the cantilever supporting plate 408 and the guide sleeve 407 move down and press the spring 406. Therefore, the cantilever supporting plate 408 and the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 go down. When the transition sleeve 410 is loosened by the rotary handle 4101, the transition sleeve 410 moves up. At this time, under the action of a compressing force of the spring 406, the guide sleeve 407 and the cantilever supporting plate 408 will move up, so as to lift the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. Therefore, the high-speed erosion spray gun can be lifted or dropped by means of the rotary handle 4104.
The translational handle 4081 pushes the cantilever supporting plate 408 to rotate. The cantilever supporting plate 408 drives the rotary sleeve 414, the mounting frame 419, the guide wheel 412 and the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 to synchronously rotate, so that the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 rotates in a horizontal plane. Meanwhile, the cantilever supporting plate 408 will drive the dust guard 406 and the connecting ring 404 to rotate, thus making the guide column 416 to slide in the guide slot 4041. When the guide column slides to two ends of the guide slot 4041, the connecting ring 404 will be stopped by the guide column 416 and cannot continue to rotate. In this way, the cantilever supporting plate 408 cannot continue to rotate, either, thus limiting a maximum rotating angle of the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. Therefore, the two ends of the guide slot 4041 limit a rotating range of the high-speed erosion spray gun 3. When the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 rotates within the rotating range, the guide column 416 can be locked at any position through the locking nut 418, so that the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 is fixed at a certain specific angle. Therefore, the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 can rotate in the horizontal plane by means of rotating the translational handle 4081.
It should be noted that the above entire operation process can be completed by a robot, thus realizing automatic operations.
The bracket 53 can be mounted on the base 401, and the wedge-shaped test piece fixture 51, the circular test piece fixture and other types of test piece fixtures on the bracket can be arranged around the lifting and rotating mechanism 4, so that the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 can perform high-temperature high-speed erosion on different types of test pieces according to a requirement, thus carrying out a material erosion performance test on a plurality of groups of test pieces.
In the ultrahigh-temperature wind tunnel erosion testing system provided by this embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of groups of test pieces are circlewise arranged around the lifting and rotating mechanism 4. The lifting and rotating mechanism 4 drives the high-speed erosion spray gun 3 to be lifted or rotate, so that the angle of the spray gun and the relative position between the different test pieces can be adjusted, and the erosion performance of the plurality of groups of test pieces can be simultaneously tested; and the operation is convenient.
The above is only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Various changes can also be made to the above embodiments of the present disclosure. That is, all simple and equivalent changes and modifications that are made according to the claims of the application of the present disclosure and the content of the description shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the patent of the present disclosure.
