The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, and relates to a current fault positioning method for a
helicopter rotor anti-
icing and de-
icing system. Due to the particularity that the main blade is long and large in deformation, no matter in an open circuit or a
short circuit, a fault cannot be positioned in time when the main blade rotates through static measurement. According to the invention, if the current is zero all the time in the heating process, the fault is positioned to the anti-
icing and deicing distribution box and the main
paddle collector ring
assembly; otherwise, the same partitions of all the paddles are heated in sequence, and the partition with the fault is judged according to whether the
total current of the
current sensor is abnormal or not; the main
paddle distributor is controlled to heat all the paddles in sequence, and the paddles with faults are judged according to whether the
total current of the
current sensor is abnormal or not; if the
total current during heating is higher than the rated current, determining that the anti-icing and de-icing heating
assembly has a fault; if the total current during heating is lower than the rated current and the power switch monitoring circuit detects the peak
voltage, determining that the anti-icing and de-icing heating
assembly has a fault; and if the total current during heating is lower than the rated current and the power switch monitoring circuit does not detect the peak
voltage, the main
paddle distributor breaks down. Faults are accurately determined through comprehensive current monitoring and power switch output monitoring, the replacement and maintenance time of products is shortened, and the
maintainability,
testability and supportability of the products are improved.
