The Influence of Rotor Adjustment Parameters on the Dynamic Balance of a Scale-Model Rigid Variable Speed Rotor

Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic balance of a rigid variable speed rotor is tested and analyzed. The vibration acceleration is measured by vibration analyzer instrumentations. The rotor adjustment parameters of counterweight, pitch, and trailing-edge flap are considered. The amplitude and phase of the 1 Ω vibration acceleration are analyzed through an all-phase fast Fourier transform. The experiments are conducted using two rigid rotors with the same geometry. The accelerations of the fuselage in the x, y, and z directions are measured. Through a waterfall diagram of the auto-power spectrum, it is found that the imbalance of counterweight, pitch, and trailing-edge flap causes an obvious increase in 1 Ω and 2 Ω acceleration. The hub counterweight mainly causes the lateral and longitudinal vibration in the disc plane, and the aerodynamic factors such as pitch and trailing-edge flap mainly affect the vertical vibration. In order to achieve dynamic balance for variable speed rotors, the counterweight adjustment should be given the highest priority for the vibration in the disc plane, and the pitch and trailing-edge flap adjustment should be given the highest priority for the vertical vibration. The results obtained from this experiment may be helpful toward reasonable designs of variable speed rotor helicopters.

“…The circumferential velocity of the rotor of a large generator is very high. Under the action of such a high circumferential velocity, the rotor components will be subjected to significant centrifugal force, which results in high material requirements for the rotor body [6]. As shown in Figure 2, the rotor core is made of a whole piece of high-strength alloy steel with good magnetic conductivity and forged into a shaft, and the rotor magnetic poles are made into hidden poles.…”
