Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a kind of airflow temperature sensor time constant measurement methods based on laser positive step excitation, belong to airflow temperature measurement technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the aerospace industry, airflow temperature sensor is an important sensor, which is widely used in wind tunnel flow field test, aircraft engine performance evaluation and other fields. These measurement occasions often have high requirements for the dynamic characteristics of airflow sensor. Time constant is an important indicator to measure the dynamic characteristics of airflow temperature sensor.

[0003] When measuring the time constant of airflow temperature sensor, a dynamic temperature excitation needs to be provided for the sensor. According to the current "JJF 1049-1995 Temperature Sensor Dynamic Response Calibration" and "JJG (Military) 181-2019 Airflow Temperature Sensor (Dynamic)", the dynamic excitation source of ejection type can provide dynamic temperature excitation for airflow temperature sensor with time constant of 30 ms or more. When facing airflow temperature sensor with smaller time constant, the time constant measurement method using pulsed laser as excitation source is still in the laboratory research stage, and there is no unified standard in China. In the airflow environment, when the airflow temperature sensor is suddenly irradiated by pulsed laser, the sensor is affected by airflow heat and laser heating at the same time, and the rising edge of the temperature-time response curve cannot be directly fitted with the ideal first-order response curve to measure the time constant. Therefore, when using pulsed laser as excitation source in the laboratory, pulsed laser is usually used to irradiate the airflow temperature sensor to make it warm up, and then the time constant of the airflow temperature sensor is measured on the falling edge of the temperature-time response curve after the pulsed laser. However, this measurement method is based on negative step excitation of pulsed laser, and cannot completely reflect the dynamic characteristics of airflow temperature sensor, missing the time constant under positive step excitation.

[0004] In addition, the measurement of time constant of airflow temperature sensor needs to be carried out in high-speed and high-temperature airflow environment, which often requires huge investment to build a large hot wind tunnel, and also consumes a large amount of fuel and electricity, with high test cost. Especially when measuring the time constant under the condition of 2000K high temperature airflow, the technical difficulty and operating cost of the test make it difficult for researchers to accept.

[0005] In summary, whether to meet the complete evaluation requirements of the dynamic characteristics of airflow temperature sensor or to reduce the technical difficulty and operating cost of measurement, it is necessary to develop a new time constant measurement method. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the time constant under the positive step excitation cannot be obtained in the prior art, the main purpose of the present application is to provide a gas flow temperature sensor time constant measurement method based on laser positive step excitation, high temperature state of the gas flow temperature sensor is realized through laser positive step excitation, the flow field does not need to be heated to the high temperature state, the gas flow temperature sensor is continuously irradiated by laser under the normal temperature gas flow, the equivalent time constant is measured through the rising edge of the temperature-time response curve, the equivalent temperature is obtained to obtain the gas flow temperature sensor time constant under the high temperature gas flow, the gas flow temperature sensor time constant measurement under the laser positive step excitation is realized, and the gas flow temperature sensor time constant measurement cost can be reduced.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a method for measuring the time constant of an airflow temperature sensor based on laser positive step excitation, which includes the following steps:

[0030] Step one: build the heat balance under normal temperature airflow.

[0031] The application background of this embodiment refers to JJF 1049-1995 Temperature Sensor Dynamic Response Calibration and JJG (Military) 181-2019 Airflow Temperature Sensor (Dynamic), as shown in Figure 2 The measured airflow temperature sensor 2 is fixed on the test section 5 of the wind tunnel 1, so that the sensing part 3 of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2 is in the core area of the wind tunnel flow field, the data acquisition equipment 6 is used to collect the output signal of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2, and the laser 4 aims at the sensing part 3 of the airflow temperature sensor 2.

[0032] Turn on the wind tunnel 1, and adjust the airflow of the test section 5 to Mach number Ma, total temperature T g .

[0033] The measured airflow temperature sensor 2 reaches a heat balance state after being placed in the normal temperature airflow of the wind tunnel 2 with Mach number Ma and total temperature T g for a period of time.

[0034] Step two: continuous laser irradiation.

[0035] Keep the airflow of the test section 5 at Mach number Ma and total temperature T g unchanged, turn on the laser 4, and use continuous laser irradiation on the sensing part 3 of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2. After a period of laser irradiation, the measured airflow temperature sensor 2 reaches a new heat balance state, and the temperature-time response curve of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2 under laser positive step excitation is collected using the data acquisition equipment 6.

[0036] Step three: measure the equivalent time constant.

[0037] Based on the temperature-time response curve of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2 under laser positive step excitation obtained in step two, the equivalent time constant τ e of the measured airflow temperature sensor 2 is measured by the rising edge.

[0038] Step four: determine the equivalent temperature.
