Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hypersonic wind tunnel free flight tests, and in particular relates to a clamping and releasing device and method for a hypersonic wind tunnel free flight test model. Background Art
[0002] As hypersonic vehicles expand their flight envelope, maneuvering at high angles of attack and with sideslip is becoming possible. The nonlinear flow phenomena that arise during maneuvering have a significant impact on the dynamic stability of hypersonic vehicles. To predict the dynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicles, it is necessary to establish a dynamic model and obtain dynamic stability derivatives. This is a crucial prerequisite and foundation for hypersonic vehicle control system design, flight quality evaluation, and ground simulation.
[0003] Research on the dynamic stability of hypersonic vehicles currently relies primarily on flight tests and wind tunnel simulations. Wind tunnel simulations can be divided into two categories: one with a constrained model and the other with a free-flight model. In the case of a constrained model, interference from the support system is noticeable and difficult to eliminate, significantly impacting the test results. In contrast, free-flight wind tunnel models offer the advantages of no support interference and no mechanical damping. This ensures a more realistic dynamic similarity between wind tunnel simulations and flight conditions, allowing for a more realistic reproduction of the dynamic aerodynamic characteristics of a hypersonic vehicle in continuous motion.
[0004] The free flight test of a wind tunnel model is to place the test model into the uniform flow field of the wind tunnel in some way, allowing the test model to fly freely. At the same time, a high-speed camera method is used to record in real time an image sequence of the test model's posture changing with time. The image sequence is then interpreted to obtain data on the test model's posture changing with time, that is, the motion trajectory. Then, based on the mass characteristic parameters and motion trajectory data of the test model, the aerodynamic force of the test model is calculated. Through qualitative or quantitative analysis, the aerodynamic characteristic parameters of the test model in the flow field are obtained.
[0005] Wind tunnel model free-flight tests offer advantages over conventional wind tunnel force and pressure tests, lacking support interference. Compared to wind tunnel tests measuring dynamic characteristics such as ball (pitch and yaw) damping and Magnus forces, they lack support interference and mechanical damping. However, in hypersonic wind tunnel testing, the impact of support interference cannot be ignored, and its impact on dynamic measurements is even more severe than on static measurements. The results of wind tunnel model free-flight tests can provide a reference for designing field free-flight tests of aircraft, providing important aerodynamic parameters for developing overall plans and verifying the rationality of aerodynamic layouts. This ensures the safety and reliability of field model free-flight tests and lays a solid foundation for hypersonic aircraft flight testing.
[0006] Conduct free flight tests of wind tunnel models. When the hypersonic wind tunnel is started, strong airflow will have a strong impact on the test model and mechanisms in the test section. At this time, the clamping and releasing device must ensure that the test model is reliably supported and does not shake. When launching the test model, the clamping and releasing device must ensure that the separation time from the test model is as short as possible, and must not collide with the test model during and after the release, which will interfere with the free flight of the test model.
[0007] The clamping and releasing technology of test models is one of the key technologies that need to be mastered in wind tunnel model free-flight tests. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop a clamping and releasing device and method for hypersonic wind tunnel free-flight test models. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The clamping and releasing device for a hypersonic wind tunnel free flight test model of the present invention comprises a sleeve, a guide rail, a clamp and a clamp mounting seat
[0010] Several guide rails parallel to the central axis are fixed on the inner wall of the sleeve. The clamp is located in the central cavity of the sleeve and is clamped on the guide rails. The front end of the clamp clamps the test model, and the rear end of the clamp is connected to the clamp mounting base, which is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the launch device.
[0011] The main body of the clamp is a clamping claw mounting seat. Several claws suspended from the back to the front are fixed by pins around the clamping claw mounting seat. At the front end of the claw, a model adapter pad is fixed on the lower surface, and a ball mounting seat is fixed on the upper surface. The ball mounting seat is embedded in the ball, and the upper part of the ball protrudes from the ball mounting seat and is embedded in the arc-section groove of the guide rail. The upper height of the ball is less than the lower height of the ball.
[0012] A mounting hole I is provided at the contact surface between the clamping claw mounting seat and the rear section of the claw, and a compression spring mounting seat is embedded in the mounting hole I. A compression spring is placed in the mounting hole II of the compression spring mounting seat, and the contact end surface between the compression spring mounting seat and the rear section of the claw is closed as a closed end; a limit block mounting surface is also provided at the contact surface, and a limit block is installed on the limit block mounting surface, and the two limit blocks are distributed on both sides of the claw.
[0013] The assembly method of the clamping and releasing device for a hypersonic wind tunnel free flight test model of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0014] Insert the ball into the ball mounting seat, with the upper part of the ball protruding from the ball mounting seat;
[0015] The model adapter pad is mounted on the lower surface of the claw, and the ball mount is mounted on the upper surface of the claw;
[0016] Place the compression spring in mounting hole II of the compression spring mounting seat, and then place the compression spring mounting seat in mounting hole I, with the open end of the compression spring mounting seat facing the central axis of the clamp and the closed end facing the claw; the height of the compression spring mounting seat is less than the depth of mounting hole II, and the compression spring mounting seat moves in the radial direction of the clamp in mounting hole II to achieve compression of the compression spring;
[0017] Install the claw on the clamping claw mounting seat through the pin, press the claw to the horizontal level, and then install the limit block on the limit block mounting surface. The two limit blocks are distributed on both sides of the claw. The limit blocks limit the height of the compression spring mounting seat to pop out of the mounting hole Ⅰ.
[0018] The clamping and releasing method for a hypersonic wind tunnel free flight test model of the present invention comprises a clamping method and a releasing method;
[0019] The clamping method includes the following steps:
[0020] After the gripper is assembled, pull the gripper mounting base to the exit edge of the sleeve and install the gripper on the gripper mounting base. Then, insert the test model into the gripper from front to back, and press the claws to make the model adapter pad fit the test model. At this time, the compression spring is compressed to generate elastic force. Then, push the test model, gripper, and gripper mounting base into the sleeve from front to back until the bottom of the sleeve. When pushing, ensure that the ball enters the arc section groove of the guide rail. The compression spring is restricted by the sleeve and always maintains elastic force inside the sleeve. The claws and model adapter pad clamp and fix the test model.
[0021] The release method includes the following steps:
[0022] When the launching device is launched, the piston rod of the launching device pushes the gripper mounting seat to move quickly from back to front, and drives the gripper and the test model to move quickly from back to front; the ball of the gripper moves linearly in the arc section chute of the guide rail, the resistance is reduced through rolling friction, and the movement stability is improved, at the same time, the arc section chute has a guiding effect, and prevents the gripper from rolling; when the compression spring extends out of the sleeve, the compression spring is quickly bounced up due to the disappearance of the limitation of the sleeve, so that the claw is opened, and under the limitation of the limiting block, the compression spring mounting seat is only bounced up, and will not be bounced out of the mounting hole I; after the claw is opened, the constraint relationship between the test model and the model fitting pad is released, the test model continues to accelerate forward movement closely to the gripper, and the test model is separated from the gripper due to the linear displacement limitation of the gripper, and the test model is launched to the hypersonic wind tunnel test section at a pre-set initial speed; the claw is bounced back after being opened to the maximum angle, the position of the compression spring mounting seat bounced up by the compression spring limits the angle of the claw bounce back, avoids the influence of the claw bounce back on the posture of the test model, and realizes the release of the test model without interference.
[0023] The test method of the holding and releasing device for the hypersonic wind tunnel free flight test model of the application comprises the following processes:
[0024] The test model is installed on the launching device at a pre-set attack angle, and the gripper fixes the test model;
[0025] The hypersonic wind tunnel is started, and after the airflow is stabilized, the piston is driven to move from back to front in a high-pressure gas driving mode, the piston drives the gripper to move from back to front, the gripper releases the model after the compression spring extends out of the sleeve, the test model is launched to the hypersonic wind tunnel test section at a pre-set initial speed, flies freely in the opposite direction of the airflow, realizes the test model from flying in the opposite direction of the airflow to the upstream of the observation area to flying in the airflow to the downstream of the observation area, and obtains all the motion trajectory data of the free flight of the test model.

[0027] 1. A new type of holding and releasing method is designed; the test model is fixed in the sleeve through the compression spring, the claw and the model fitting pad on the gripper, the space limitation of the sleeve makes the compression spring be compressed, the compression spring maintains the elastic force in the sleeve after the test model is installed, and the elastic force of the compression spring provides the power for opening the claw at the moment when the compression spring is out of the sleeve;
[0028] 2. The test model is clamped reliably, can withstand the strong impact during the start of the hypersonic wind tunnel, avoids the shaking of the test model, affects the initial attitude of the test model during the launch, thereby affecting the flight trajectory, and ensures the safety and reliability of the hypersonic wind tunnel model free flight test;
[0029] 3. A new anti-rebound structure is designed to ensure the reliable release of the test model; when the claw reaches the maximum angle and rebounds in the opposite direction, the compressed spring mounting seat has been lifted, the lifted compressed spring mounting seat serves as a limiting component for the claw movement, can effectively limit the rebound angle of the claw, and avoids the interference between the claw rebound and the test model, affecting the attitude of the test model;
[0030] 4. A new rolling guide structure is designed, the rolling guide structure is provided with a guide rail on the sleeve and a ball on the clamp; since the clamp moves at a high speed, in order to avoid the damage of mechanical components during the rapid movement of the clamp and prevent the jamming phenomenon, the ball is mostly embedded in the ball mounting seat, and a small part is embedded in the guide rail, the ball moves linearly along the guide rail, the frictional resistance is reduced, and the reliability of the movement of the clamp is improved.
