TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a detection device and method, in particular to a portable aircraft communication navigation detection device and method, which is mainly suitable for the first-line maintenance and detection of civil aviation aircraft, navigation aircraft and military aircraft communication, navigation equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] The airborne communication navigation equipment is the central nervous system and lifeline of the aircraft. Therefore, the daily inspection of the airborne communication navigation equipment is essential in the first-line maintenance support in the field. However, there are the following technical problems in the first-line maintenance support of the airborne communication navigation equipment.
[0003] Firstly, in the first-line maintenance support process, the maintenance self-detection, voice calibration, and single tone self-listening are usually used for the inspection of the airborne communication equipment. These simple inspection methods cannot check the internal performance of each component of the communication system, and the hidden faults cannot be found, which affects the aircraft preparation quality and leads to the flight of the aircraft with hidden faults. If these hidden faults are changed into overt faults in the air, the flight safety will be affected.
[0004] Secondly, the method of simulator function test is usually used for the inspection of the navigation equipment, and different navigation equipment is equipped with different simulators and inspection instruments. For example, the TACAN, microwave landing, instrument landing, directional instrument, and beacon machine are equipped with corresponding simulators respectively. This makes the daily inspection of the maintenance personnel particularly tedious, long working time, and low efficiency. When the aircraft is transferred, it is very inconvenient to carry so many support equipment, and some of the simulators are also large and heavy, which leads to the long tail of the support equipment and the inability to move.
[0005] Thirdly, there is no field inspection instrument for the radio compass at present, which makes the maintenance personnel rely on the radio signal of the ground station or local broadcasting station for function inspection when inspecting the compass. Since the hangar and hangar shield the radio compass signal, the aircraft cannot receive the compass signal. The self-detection of the radio compass cannot check its function comprehensively. This leads to the fact that the aircraft has to be pushed out of the hangar and hangar for inspection every time the radio compass is inspected, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the working efficiency is low.
