Abstract: Inner ring oil flow lubrication is applied to principal bearing (intershaft bearing) of aero-engine. The oil-flow characteristics have an influence on lubrication efficiency of bearing. Previous studies have not considered the effect of time-varying oil outlet induced by positional variation between inner ring holes and rollers, and the oil spray-collection analysis is separated from oil flow analysis. To overcome the limitations above, this paper proposes an analytical method considering the effect of time-varying oil outlet, which integrates oil spray-collection and oil flow analysis. Firstly, the oil entering the inner ring tube is decomposed into the oil directly sprayed into tube as well as the oil deposited onto the solid wall and then flowing into the collection holes. By virtue of calculating those two parts of oil flow rates, flow rates of oil entering inner ring tube is obtained. Secondly, time-varying boundary conditions of inner ring holes are determined by positional variation rules of holes and rollers, and are then embedded into transient oil-flow analytical model that could be utilized to obtain the flow rates of each outlet and bearing lubrication efficiency. The proposed oil-flow analytical method is systematic and better qualified for engineering, providing technical method and basic data for the accurate calculation of lubrication efficiency and contributing to the precise design of the intershaft bearing lubrication system.
