Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the active control mechanism of the thermally variable stiffness of the existing outer thin shell of the aircraft has a small control force during the working process, the control effect on the stiffness change of the material with a relatively high stiffness is relatively weak, and the practical application is relatively limited. Therefore, a SMA-driven helical thermally variable stiffness active control mechanism is proposed

Abstract

The invention relates to an SMA-driven spiral heat variable stiffness active control mechanism, which relates to the field of aerospace technology. The present invention aims to solve the problem that the active control mechanism of the thermally variable stiffness of the outer thin shell of the aircraft produces less control force during the working process, and the control effect on the stiffness change of the material with higher stiffness is relatively weak, which is limited in practical application. Big question. The present invention includes multiple quarter-helical expansion rings, multiple SMA driving circular tubes and multiple pre-tightening mechanisms, and multiple quarter-helical expansion rings are spirally arranged on the inner wall of the cylindrical thin shell. The first The beginning of the quarter helical expansion ring and the end of the last quarter helical expansion ring are affixed to the thin cylindrical shell through a pre-tensioning mechanism, and the adjacent two quarter helical expansion rings drive a circular tube or a preloaded tube through SMA. The tightening mechanism is connected, and multiple SMA driving round tubes and multiple pre-tensioning mechanisms are alternately arranged. The invention is used for the thermal variable stiffness control of the outer thin shell of the aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aerospace technology, in particular to an SMA-driven spiral thermal stiffness active control mechanism. Background technique [0002] The aircraft will generate a lot of heat during flight, which will affect the steam stiffness of the aircraft. Most of the traditional control methods are to laminate heat-insulating materials and heat-resistant materials on the outer surface of the aircraft to reduce the influence of thermal gradients during flight, or use the Ribs and ribs are arranged on the inner and outer surfaces of the outer shell to enhance the overall rigidity of the outer shell structure of the aircraft. Such control methods are all passive controls, and cannot be adjusted according to changes in the external working environment of the aircraft to optimize the structural stiffness of the aircraft. With the continuous deepening of research on smart materials, piezoelectric materials have been used as sensor...
