Abstract

The invention discloses an echo ultrasonic ice thickness measuring device and an ice thickness measuring method thereof. The ice thickness measuring device comprises a processing module configured toset a first parameter of a signal generating module and transmit the first parameter to the signal generating module; the signal generating module configured to set a second parameter and convert thesecond parameter and the first parameter transmitted by the processing module into a clock signal and an excitation signal respectively; a triggering module configured to receive the excitation signaltransmitted by the signal generating module and decode the same into an initial signal; a transmitting module configured to establish a connection with the triggering module and convert the receivedinitial signal into an echo signal and transmit the echo signal to the triggering module; and an acquiring module connected with the signal generating module and the triggering module. The echo ultrasonic ice thickness measuring device has reasonable design, can avoid damage to the aerodynamic shape of an aircraft surface, has high sensitivity, high accuracy, simple structure, light weight and small volume, is suitable for application to an aircraft, and has broad development prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft ice measurement, in particular to an echo-type ultrasonic ice thickness measurement device and a method for measuring ice thickness. Background technique [0002] The problem of aircraft icing has always been one of the important problems that plague flight safety. According to the statistics of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), from 1978 to 2005, a total of 645 flight accidents occurred in the United States alone. About 33% of related accidents have caused significant personnel and property losses. [0003] In order to solve the safety problems caused by aircraft icing, the first step is to monitor the icing state, and domestic and foreign scholars have made great efforts for this. Up to now, aircraft icing detection mainly includes optical method, thermal method, electrical method, mechanical method, waveguide method and so on. The optical method is the simplest and most direct...

[0002] The problem of aircraft icing has always been one of the important problems that plague flight safety. According to the statistics of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), from 1978 to 2005, a total of 645 flight accidents occurred in the United States alone. Related accidents accounted for about 33%, resulting in significant personnel and property losses

[0004] However, all icing detection technologies have more or less regrets. The most important point is that most of the widely used icing detection technologies now need to add sensors on the outer surface of the aircraft, which is a huge damage to the aerodynamic shape. Conducive to flight stability and speed

At the same time, most sensors cannot give the thickness of icing, but can only give icing signals, and cannot judge the severity of icing on the surface of the aircraft.
