Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aviation electric servos, and in particular to an aviation electric servo with a double-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair. Background Art

[0002] Electric servos are the actuators of flight control systems, outputting force and speed to move the corresponding control surfaces according to command. The performance of electric servos directly determines the performance of the flight control system, and thus the overall maneuverability of the aircraft, making their performance extremely important. With the development of high-performance aircraft technology, the performance requirements for electric servos are constantly increasing. Only electric servos with high reliability and high frequency response can enable control surfaces to move to the specified position more quickly and accurately. As a key actuator in aircraft flight control systems, electric servos often utilize redundant designs to ensure high reliability.

[0003] To ensure high reliability in flight control, most electric servos typically employ a dual-redundancy design. Currently, most dual-redundancy electric servos utilize either a dual-motor plus differential or a single-motor dual-winding configuration. Both dual-redundancy designs have their own shortcomings, hindering the development of high-reliability dual-redundancy electric servos. While the dual-motor plus differential approach significantly improves reliability, it results in a larger and heavier overall system, a longer transmission chain, a more complex transmission system, and slower system response. While the single-motor dual-winding approach seemingly avoids the increased system size and weight and increased transmission system complexity associated with dual-redundancy, it fails to address the issue of a short circuit in one winding, which could cause braking and potentially compromise the normal operation of the backup winding, leading to a persistent potential for failure.

[0004] In order to solve the inherent defects of the above two dual-redundancy designs, the prior art (CN104534041B) proposes a dual-redundancy direct-drive roller screw pair electric actuator, which is mainly composed of a brushless DC motor assembly, a clutch, a hollow screw, a displacement sensor and a housing. However, the actuator also has the following defects: First, since the actuator is not equipped with a brake, there is no static holding force after a power failure, causing abnormal disturbances in the moving parts. The stopped state after the failure is uncontrollable, causing the motion control system to lose control, resulting in unpredictable serious consequences; Second, only a first-stage roller screw is used. When the system has high thrust and speed requirements, the brushless DC motor is burdened with a large burden and generates serious heat. In order to ensure output performance and mechanical strength, the size of the brushless DC motor is increased and the reliability is reduced; Third, the heating problem leads to the processing of coolant channels inside its structural components for heat dissipation. This method not only increases the manufacturing difficulty, but also requires a separate cooling pump system, thereby introducing a new failure mode and reducing the overall reliability of the system; Fourth, the angle encoder as a position sensor has the disadvantages of weak shock resistance, a small operating temperature range, and poor overall resistance to harsh working environments. It is not enough to be competent for some systems with high environmental adaptability requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a dual-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair aviation electric servo to achieve the purposes of improving the reliability of the servo system, ensuring the stability of the control surface in the event of a power outage, and ensuring efficient output performance and mechanical strength.

[0034] Specifically, the output-end stator assembly 52 of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the output-end main housing 14, and the output-end main end cover 12 is fixed to one side of the output-end main housing 14 by six first screws 10 and first anti-loosening washers 11 evenly distributed along the circumference. The fixed-end stator assembly 39 of the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the fixed-end main housing 37, and the fixed-end main end cover 22 is fixed to one side of the fixed-end main housing 37 by six screws and anti-loosening washers evenly distributed along the circumference (the specific screws and anti-loosening washers are not shown in the figure). Figure 1 The principle behind this is the same as that of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly. The output-end rotor magnet 49 is affixed to the outer surface of the output-end rotor yoke 50. The output-end nut 51 is interference-fitted into the inner hole of the output-end rotor yoke 50. The output-end rotor hollow shaft 58 is interference-fitted onto the output-end nut 51. The components, output-end rotor magnet 49, output-end rotor yoke 50, output-end nut 51, and output-end rotor hollow shaft 58, collectively comprise the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor rotor assembly. Similarly, the components, fixed-end rotor magnet 40, fixed-end rotor yoke 41, fixed-end nut 43, and fixed-end rotor hollow shaft 33, collectively comprise the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor rotor assembly.

[0035] The rotor assembly of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly is supported by a first bearing 53 installed in the bearing chamber of the output-end main end cover 12 and a second bearing 46 installed in the bearing chamber of the output-end main housing 14. The rotor assembly of the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly is supported by a third bearing 38 installed in the bearing chamber of the fixed-end main end cover 22 and a fourth bearing 44 installed in the bearing chamber of the fixed-end main housing 37.

[0036] The electromagnetic brake assembly includes an output-end electromagnetic brake assembly and a fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly. The output-end electromagnetic brake assembly is fixedly mounted on the side of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly to brake the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor; the fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly is fixedly mounted on the side of the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly to brake the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor;

[0037] The output-end electromagnetic brake assembly includes an output-end brake housing 9, an output-end coil 55, an output-end armature 56, an output-end flywheel 8, and an output-end brake disc 57. The fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly includes a fixed-end brake housing 36, a fixed-end coil 35, a fixed-end armature 25, a fixed-end flywheel 34, and a fixed-end brake disc 26.

[0038] Specifically, the output brake housing 9 is mounted to the output main end cover 12 via six fifth screws 54 evenly spaced along the circumference. The output coil 55, output armature 56, output flywheel 8, and output brake disc 57 are coaxially arranged on the output rotor hollow shaft 58. The output armature 56 is made of a magnetically conductive material and cannot rotate, only moving axially. Friction material is machined on both sides of the output flywheel 8, rubbing against both the output armature 56 and the output brake disc 57, generating a braking torque. Its inner bore is machined with internal splines that mate with external splines on the output rotor hollow shaft 58. It rotates with the output rotor hollow shaft 58 and can also move axially between the output brake disc 57 and the output armature 56. The output brake disc 57 is fixed to the output brake housing 9 and is a non-moving component. Together, these components comprise the output electromagnetic brake assembly.

[0039] Because the output-end electromagnetic brake assembly and the fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly are dual-redundant designs, their functions and principles are identical. Similarly, the fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly consists of the fixed-end brake housing 36, the fixed-end coil 35, the fixed-end armature 25, the fixed-end flywheel 34, and the fixed-end brake disc 26.

[0040] The two-stage ball screw pair includes an output nut 51, a fixed nut 43, a primary ball screw 47, and a secondary ball screw 3. The external threads of the output end of the primary ball screw 47 and the internal threads of the output nut 51 simultaneously mesh with multiple third balls 48. The output nut 51 is interference-fitted into the inner bore of the output rotor yoke 50, directly outputting torque and speed as the rotor of the output permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly. Furthermore, the external threads of the fixed end of the primary ball screw 47 and the internal threads of the fixed nut 43 simultaneously mesh with multiple first balls 42. The external threads of the secondary ball screw 3 and the internal threads of the primary ball screw 47 simultaneously mesh with multiple second balls 45. Furthermore, the secondary ball screw 3 does not require machining of external threads with a long axial length. The fixed nut 43 is interference-fitted into the inner bore of the fixed rotor yoke 41, directly outputting torque and speed as the rotor of the fixed permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly.

[0041] The rotary transformer includes an output-end rotary transformer and a fixed-end rotary transformer, the output-end rotary transformer includes an output-end rotary transformer stator 6 and an output-end rotary transformer rotor 7 arranged in the inner hole of the output-end rotary transformer stator 6, the output-end rotary transformer stator 6 is fixedly installed with the output-end electromagnetic brake assembly, and the output-end rotary transformer rotor is fixedly installed with the rotor of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, and is used to detect and record the rotor position and angle of the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly; the fixed-end rotary transformer includes a fixed-end rotary transformer stator 27 and a fixed-end rotary transformer rotor 28 arranged in the inner hole of the fixed-end rotary transformer stator 27, the fixed-end rotary transformer stator 27 is fixedly installed with the fixed-end electromagnetic brake assembly, and the fixed-end rotary transformer rotor 28 is fixedly installed with the rotor of the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, and is used to detect and record the rotor position and angle of the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly.

[0042] Specifically, the output-end resolver stator 6 is mounted on the output-end brake disc 57, and the output-end resolver rotor 7 is interference-fitted onto the output-end rotor hollow shaft 58. It rotates synchronously with the output-end rotor hollow shaft 58 and provides rotor position and angle information for the output-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly. The fixed-end resolver stator 27 is mounted on the fixed-end brake disc 26, and the fixed-end resolver rotor 28 is interference-fitted onto the fixed-end rotor hollow shaft 33. It rotates synchronously with the fixed-end rotor hollow shaft 33 and provides rotor position and angle information for the fixed-end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly.

[0043] The linear displacement sensor mounting end 32 is fixed in the fixed end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, and the linear displacement sensor movable end 20 is coaxially and rigidly connected to the secondary ball screw 3, and performs synchronous linear motion with the secondary ball screw 3, so as to collect and feedback the output position information of the electric servo in real time.

[0044] The structural parts mainly include the output end main cover 12, the fixed end main cover 22, the output end small cover 5 and the fixed end small cover 31, and the connecting end cover 18. The output end small cover 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the output end main cover 12 (the relevant screws and anti-loosening washers are not in the Figure 1 (Indicated in the figure), its principle is the same as that of the fixed end. The fixed end small end cover 31 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed end main end cover 22 by six third screws 23 and third anti-loosening washers 24 evenly distributed along the circumference. A guide bar 4 is processed on the output end small end cover 5 to constrain the rotational movement of the secondary ball screw 3 and ensure that the secondary ball screw 3 can only perform linear displacement movement. A fixed end small end cover joint bearing 30 is installed on the fixed end small end cover 31 to install and fix the electric servo. The linear displacement sensor mounting end 32 is fixed to the inner side of the fixed end small end cover 31 by the fourth screw 29. The connecting end cover 18 is fixedly installed between the fixed end main shell 37 and the output end main shell 14 by six second screws 17 and second anti-loosening washers 16 evenly distributed along the circumference on both sides ( Figure 1 The screws and anti-loosening washers connected to the fixed end main housing 37 are not shown) and are used to fix the fixed end main housing 37 to the output end main housing 14.

[0045] The output end of the secondary ball screw 3 is fixed to the output ear 1 by a locking nut 2 and a locking washer 59. The linear displacement sensor collects and feeds back the position of the output ear 1 in real time, and an output ear joint bearing 60 is installed on the output ear 1 to ensure the articulation between the electric servo and the movable parts.

[0046] The electric servo of this embodiment also includes an electrical connector, which includes an output end signal electrical connector 13, an output end power electrical connector 15, a fixed end power electrical connector 19 and a fixed end signal electrical connector 21. The output end signal electrical connector 13 and the output end power electrical connector 15 are arranged on the outer wall of the output end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, and the fixed end power electrical connector 19 and the fixed end signal electrical connector 21 are arranged on the outer wall of the fixed end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly.

[0047] The dual-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair aviation electric servo of this embodiment adopts a one-master-one-backup working mode, that is, it is divided into a main channel and a backup channel. Its allocation method is relatively flexible. When the output end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, the output end electromagnetic brake assembly, and the output end rotary transformer serve as the main channel, the fixed end permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly, the fixed end electromagnetic brake assembly, and the fixed end rotary transformer serve as the backup channel; vice versa.

[0048] The working principle of the dual-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair aviation electric servo of this embodiment is as follows: under normal working conditions, after the main channel receives the upper-level action command, the controller immediately energizes the main channel electromagnetic brake to release the brake, and then immediately drives the main channel permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly to work. That is, the driver obtains the rotor position of the main channel permanent magnet synchronous motor through the main channel rotary transformer, injects a three-phase sinusoidal current into the main channel stator coil, and drives the rotor to rotate. At this time, the ball screw pair nut (fixed end nut 43 or output end nut 51) that is integrated with the motor rotor rotates and drives the primary ball screw 47 to perform both rotational motion and linear displacement motion. At the same time, the primary ball screw 47 drives the secondary ball screw 3 to perform linear displacement motion, and the movable end 20 of the linear displacement sensor performs synchronous linear displacement motion with the secondary ball screw 3, and the collected position signal is fed back to the controller to achieve system closed-loop control. At this point, the dual-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair aviation electric servo of the present invention outputs the force and speed required by the command through the output ear 1 and the output ear joint bearing 60 to meet the frequency response. When the main channel fails, the received superior action command is sent to the backup channel, and the backup channel takes action based on the same principle as the main channel. It should be noted that when either the main channel or the backup channel is operating, the electromagnetic brake of the other channel does not need to be powered on to release the brake, and can always remain in the power-off braking state or the power-on braking state.

[0049] In the extreme failure mode of the dual-redundant direct-drive two-stage ball screw pair aviation electric servo, that is, when both the main channel and the backup channel fail and cannot complete the action according to the command, the power-off braking feature of the electromagnetic brake of the main and backup channels can stably maintain the control surface in the current position, prevent the control surface from becoming unstable and uncontrollable, and avoid adverse consequences caused by failure of the flight control system.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
