摘要: 为了优化橡胶垫支撑的水润滑可倾瓦推力轴承橡胶垫的偏心率,并研究橡胶垫最佳偏心率的影响因素,提出了轴承热流体动压润滑性能计算模型,采用有限元法求解橡胶垫在非均匀压缩时作用于推力瓦块的支撑力和力矩,并拟合支撑力和力矩随压缩量和瓦块倾角变化关系方程,采用有限差分法求解流体域各控制方程,研究了载荷、转速、瓦块尺寸和长宽比等因素对橡胶垫最佳偏心率的影响规律。研究表明,橡胶垫的最佳偏心率与载荷和转速无关,但受瓦块长度和宽度变化的影响;在橡胶垫尺寸和材料不变的情况下增大瓦长,橡胶垫的径向和周向最佳偏心率分别减小和增大;增大瓦宽,径向和周向最佳偏心率分别增大和减小;同时增大瓦长和瓦宽,但保持瓦块长宽比不变,径向和周向最佳偏心率都增大。橡胶垫在最佳偏心率范围内取值时,计算的水膜厚度在周向和径向的膜厚比也在它们的最佳值范围内,分别为1.3~1.4和0.12~0.20。研究方法和结果对设计橡胶垫支撑的弹支可倾瓦推力轴承有指导意义。

Abstract: In order to optimize the offset ratio of the rubber cushion of a rubber-supported water-lubricated tilting pad thrust bearing, and to study the influencing factors of the optimum offset ratio, a thermohydrodynamic lubrication performance calculation model of the bearing is proposed. A finite element method is adopted to calculate the support force and moment of the rubber cushion acting on the thrust pad under non-uniform compression. The relationship equations of the support force and the moment with compression and tilting angles are fitted. A finite difference method is used to solve the governing equations in the fluid domain. The effects of load, rotational speed, dimensions and length to width ratio of a thrust pad on the optimum offset ratios of the rubber cushion are studied. The results show that the optimum offset ratios are independent of load and speed, but affected by the length and width of the thrust pad. When the size and material of the rubber cushion remain unchanged, the radial and circumferential optimum offset ratios of the rubber cushion decrease and increase with the increase of pad length, respectively. The radial and circumferential optimum offset ratios increase and decrease with the increase of pad width. Increase the length and width simultaneously while keeping the length to width ratio constant, the optimum offset ratios in both directions increase. When the offset values of the rubber cushion are chosen from the optimum value ranges, the calculated film thickness ratios in circumferential and radial directions are also in their optimum value ranges, and the optimum value ranges are 1.3-1.4 and 0.12-0.20, respectively. The research methods and results are of guiding significance to the design of elastic rubber cushion supported tilting pad thrust bearings.
