[0046] The application also discloses a use method of the buffer device for horizontal impact test of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0047] Step S1: positioning and installing the buffer device; the upper top surface 107 of the aluminum alloy box structure of the buffer device is provided with a lifting ring 108, the buffer device is scheduled by using a travelling crane device, and is installed at the terminal of the sliding rail E for horizontal collision test of the unmanned aerial vehicle; according to the size of the sliding platform C and the requirements of the specification of the test product (unmanned aerial vehicle), a plurality of positioning plates 104 around the lower bottom surface 103 are stacked with the same type of positioning plate, the overall height of the buffer device is adjusted, and it is ensured that the sliding platform C can completely collide with the internal combined buffer block 3 during the test; the test product (unmanned aerial vehicle) is reasonably placed on the sliding platform C, and a distance is left for the sliding platform to collide with the embedded part of the buffer device, so as to avoid interfering with the inertial motion track of the unmanned aerial vehicle after collision;

[0048] Step S2: Select the buffer monomer to build the combined buffer block (According to GB / T 35018-2018 "Classification and Grading of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems" Clause 4.17: Classification based on crash hazard), calculate the crash kinetic energy E that the power loading device A needs to exert DN , compare the calculation result with the standard crash hazard level classification, and determine the number of buffer monomers for building the combined buffer block E DN is the flight impact kinetic energy, unit is joule (J); m is the mass of the unmanned aerial vehicle, unit is kilogram (kg); V DN is the equivalent speed (1.4 times the maximum flight speed), unit is meters per second (m / s). In order to consider the reliability of the subsequent limit locking function, compare the calculation result with the crash hazard level classification of the standard, if it belongs to class I (kinetic energy ≤10kJ) and class II (10kJ<kinetic energy≤95kJ), select 2 buffer monomers to build combined buffer block 3; if it belongs to class III (95kJ<kinetic energy≤1000kJ), select 3 to 20 buffer monomers to build combined buffer block 3; if it belongs to class IV (kinetic energy>1000kJ), select more than 20 buffer monomers to build combined buffer block 3, or use buffer monomers with more 3D printing structure layers (T1, T2,..., Tn) to build suitable combined buffer block 3);

The magnetic limit block (512, 522) of the first limiting device 51 and the second limiting device 52 is installed at the initial position, that is, the linear slide rail (511, 521) is close to the end of the collision side; At this time, no magnetic force needs to be applied, and the magnetic limit block (512, 522) is in a free state, but the linear slide rail (511, 521) end can lock the magnetic limit block from sliding out; Control the movement of the hydraulic telescopic rod 201 through the main control panel 101, drive the ultra-light aluminum alloy flat plate 202 to push the combined buffer block 3 to the back of the buffer device, until it contacts the first limiting device 51 and the second limiting device 52, and then apply a pushing force (3N to 5N), At this time, the combined buffer block 3 is in a collision-ready state;

Therefore, step S3 gives the corresponding buffer monomer combination quantity of different falling and collision hazard levels);

[0051] Step S5: end the horizontal collision test and the test failure emergency stop, after ending the horizontal collision test and removing the slide table C, the magnetic limit block (512, 522) is unlocked, the combined buffer block 3 is deformed, the central processing unit in the main control panel 101 automatically records the key parameters and limiting effect of the above limiting process, which is beneficial to the optimization of the limiting plan model; in order to ensure the safety of the test, the main control panel 101 has a key component self-checking function, if the control and communication of the magnetic limit block (512, 522), the displacement sensor (401, 402) and the hydraulic telescopic rod 201 fail, the buffer device alarms; if an emergency failure occurs during the test, press the emergency stop reset button, and the buffer device stops working; (if necessary) press and hold the emergency stop reset button to reset the hydraulic telescopic rod 201 to the minimum contraction state, unlock the first limiting device 51 and the second limiting device 52 and reset.

At this time, the combined buffer block is in a collision-ready state; Step S4: Observe whether the mechanical cooperation of the internal component structure is normal through the ventilation observation slot hole, start the horizontal collision test, lock the magnetic force limiting block and the hydraulic telescopic rod, and the slide table impacts and collides with the combined buffer block. If the collision kinetic energy is too large, the cylindrical bridge body of the 3D printing structure layer of each buffer monomer in the combined buffer block will deform to different degrees to achieve the purpose of energy release. At this time, the first displacement sensor and the second displacement sensor real-time measure the position change of the combined buffer block due to deformation and feed back to the main control panel. The main control panel continuously optimizes and adjusts the limiting planning of the magnetic force limiting block according to the real-time measured deformation displacement, the pre-set collision kinetic energy, the collision contact area, and the related structure parameters of the combined buffer block through the optimal algorithm model, to ensure that the combined buffer block can be locked in time under the maximum deformation state, effectively preventing the reverse push of the slide table due to deformation recovery; Step S5: End the horizontal collision test and the test failure emergency stop. After the horizontal collision test is ended and the slide table is removed, the magnetic force limiting block is unlocked, the combined buffer block deforms, the central processor in the main control panel automatically records the key parameters and limiting effect of the above limiting process, which is beneficial to the optimization of the limiting planning model; To ensure the safety of the test, the main control panel has a key component self-checking function. If the control and communication of the magnetic force limiting block, the displacement sensor and the hydraulic telescopic rod fail, the buffer device will alarm. If an emergency failure occurs during the test, press the emergency stop reset button to stop the operation of the buffer device. Long press the emergency stop reset button to reset the hydraulic telescopic rod to the minimum contraction state, unlock the first limiting device and the second limiting device, and reset.
