An embedded smart refueling hose system based on smart materials

Abstract

The invention discloses an embedded-type intelligent refueling hose system based on intelligent materials. The system comprises a refueling hose, wherein an electric fluid and electrode layers on two opposite sides of the electric fluid are embedded in the refueling hose in a sealed mode. The system further comprises a sensing unit, a control unit and a current amplifying unit, wherein the sensing unit is arranged on the refueling hose, the sensing unit is electrically connected with the input end of the control unit, and the output end of the control unit is electrically connected to the electrode layers through the current amplifying unit. According to the embedded-type intelligent refueling hose system, on the basis that advantages, such as achievement of multi-machine synchronous refueling, winding and unwinding through winches and low weight, of a traditional refueling hose are maintained, dynamic characteristics of the refueling hose are adjusted continuously and reversibly, the resonance and flutter phenomena, occurring under the combined action of atmospheric turbulence, a refueling machine, an oil receiving machine and the like, of the traditional refueling hose can be effectively avoided, and accordingly safety of a person and a machine in the air refueling process is guaranteed.
