[0002] Fuel quantity measurement can provide the pilot with accurate information about the amount of fuel in the aircraft tank, and plays an important role in the pilot making correct flight decisions in real time. With the development and progress of science and technology, the requirements for the accuracy, stability and reliability of fuel quantity measurement are getting higher and higher. In order to improve the accuracy of the measurement, the commonly used table lookup to calculate the volume to obtain the fuel quantity is usually an altitude lookup table, an aircraft attitude angle lookup table, and an oil surface angle lookup table calculated based on attitude acceleration. In order to ensure that effective and high-precision fuel quantity information can be obtained in the above-mentioned fuel quantity measurement method, it is necessary to ensure that the aircraft attitude angle substituted into the calculation is a value in the body coordinate system. When the influence of acceleration is ignored, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a simple process diagram of several methods we generally use to obtain the oil volume through the oil surface angle ( , For the oil level angle), when the given attitude angle is relative to different coordinate systems, we need to call different oil quantity databases, which is troublesome, so we need to convert the oil level angle calculated by the geodetic coordinate system to the body coordinate system to facilitate the oil quantity calculation.

It should be understood that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments, and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope of protection. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technical personnel in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] This embodiment proposes a method for querying oil quantity data. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 1 It can be seen that when the given attitude angle is relative to different coordinate systems, we need to call different oil volume databases, which is troublesome. 1 Y 1 Z 1 , Earth coordinate system O-XYZ and body coordinate system OX 2 Y 2 Z 2 , by transforming the roll angle and pitch angle of the aircraft, the conversion between the earth coordinate system and the body coordinate system is realized through the intermediate coordinate system, so as to calculate the attitude angle of the aircraft in different coordinate systems, and at the same time use the fuel quantity database of a coordinate system to query the corresponding fuel quantity data in the earth coordinate system and the body coordinate system. Figure 5 As shown, first establish a standard geodetic coordinate system O-XYZ, then use the geodetic coordinate system O-XYZ as a reference, raise the nose of the aircraft by an angle α, that is, rotate the Y axis of the geodetic coordinate system O-XYZ clockwise by an angle α, and obtain the intermediate coordinate system OX 1 Y 1 Z 1 The above method takes the view based on the body coordinate system as the reference. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 6 As shown, in the intermediate coordinate system OX 1 Y 1 Z 1 Based on this, we further use the geodetic coordinate system O-XYZ as the reference and transform the intermediate coordinate system OX 1 Y 1 Z 1 Rotate the X-axis of the earth coordinate system O-XYZ by an angle β to obtain the body coordinate system OX 2 Y 2 Z 2 The above operation is based on the body coordinate system. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 2 As shown, the aircraft attitude angle corresponding to the established fuel quantity database can be obtained according to the conversion relationship between the earth coordinate system and the body coordinate system.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] This embodiment is based on the above embodiment 1, further, as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the first rotation obtains the intermediate coordinate system OX 1 Y 1 Z 1 When the y-axis position does not change, the y-coordinate value remains unchanged y=y 1 , but the body coordinate system OX 2 Y 2 Z 2 When the second rotation is obtained, the positions of the three axes are changed, so x 1 ,y 1 、z 1 These three coordinate values ​​will change, which is not conducive to calculation. Therefore, if the aircraft is analyzed Figure 7 As shown:

[0042] Observe from the negative direction to the positive direction along the x-axis of the geodetic coordinate system O-XYZ (the plane is flying head-on), and the position relationship between the two coordinate systems is shown in the figure above. It is the projection of the aircraft head position in three positions during rotation. 2 The angle between the wing axis and the Ox axis is α (the pitch angle with the ground as the reference system), and the wing axis Oy 2 The angle between the wing plane and the Oy axis is β (roll angle with the ground as the reference system). Note that the angle between the wing plane and the Oy axis is not β. Because this plane is not parallel to the Ox axis, there is a pitch angle α.

[0043] If we first let the aircraft fuselage axis Ox 2 Return to the Ox axis (coinciding with the Ox axis direction), and then rotate in the opposite direction by an angle of β, the body coordinate system will coincide with the earth coordinate system (returning to the original position), so the rotation order can be changed as follows Figure 8 As shown, the aircraft is first rotated around the Ox axis (fuselage axis) by an angle β (roll angle), and the body coordinate system obtained at this time is recorded as OX a Y a Z a , and then let the plane fly around OY a The same body coordinate system OX can be obtained by rotating the axis (wing axis) by an angle α (pitch angle) 2 Y 2 Z 2 , and the corresponding rotation angle is also the same. This rotation method keeps one axis position unchanged each time, and its corresponding coordinates remain unchanged, which is convenient for calculation.

[0044] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, and thus will not be described in detail.

[0045] Embodiment 3:

[0046] This embodiment is based on any one of the above embodiments 1-2. Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, set a point A, which represents a point that may be encountered in practice. According to the above, the first rotation is around the Ox axis, so the value of x remains unchanged (x 1 =x), point A is any point in space, Fig. 9 From the geometric relationship, we can know that:

[0047] Right now: ;

[0048] Therefore, the first coordinate transformation matrix is:

[0049]

[0050] .

[0051] The second rotation is around Oy 1 The axis rotates, so y 1 The value of the axis remains unchanged (y 2 =y 1 ), Fig.10 For the rotation diagram:

[0052] α is the elevation angle of the geodetic coordinate system, x 1 y 1 z 1 is the intermediate coordinate system, x 2 y 2 z 2 is the body coordinate system.

[0053] From the geometric relationship in the figure above, we can see that:

[0054] Right now: ;

[0055] Therefore, the second coordinate transformation matrix is:

[0056]

[0057] .

[0058] In summary, we can get:

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] .

[0062] (x, y, z) are the coordinates of point A in the geodetic coordinate system, (x 2 ,y 2 ,z 2) is the coordinate of point A in the body coordinate system.

[0063] The above is the coordinate transformation formula for two rotations. Because point A is arbitrary, the above formula is valid for all points in space, and naturally for all points on the oil surface. As long as the coordinates of any point in space in the geodetic coordinate system are known, its coordinates in the body coordinate system can be calculated through the above formula, and vice versa.

[0064] Ignoring acceleration:

[0065] The equation of the oil surface in the geodetic coordinate system is z = 0 (assuming the center of the oil surface is the origin), and because:

[0066] ;

[0067] Therefore, the equation of the oil surface in the body coordinate system is:

[0068] ;

[0069] Then its normal vector is:

[0070] .

[0071] Assume that the oil surface angle in the body coordinate system is , , the aircraft attitude angle in the body coordinate system , , when acceleration is ignored, the following relationship exists:

[0072] ;

[0073] According to the definition of oil surface angle:

[0074] .

[0075] In summary, the calculation formula for the aircraft attitude angle in the body coordinate system is as follows:

[0076] = ;

[0077] ;

[0078] Conversely, the calculation formula for the aircraft attitude angle in the geodetic coordinate system is as follows:

[0079] = ;

[0080] ;

[0081] in , is the attitude angle of the geodetic coordinate system, , is the attitude angle of the body coordinate system. Its spatial meaning is that if the rotation angles of the two rotation methods satisfy the above formula, the spatial position of the obtained aircraft is the same, and the attitude angles in the two coordinate systems can be converted to each other.

[0082] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as any of the above embodiments 1-2, so they are not repeated here.

[0083] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
