Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aircraft deicing parameter control and processing, and particularly relates to an aircraft secondary icing time margin control method and system and a computer device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Aircraft icing can greatly damage the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft and seriously affect the efficiency and safety of winter airport operation, so it is necessary to carry out ground deicing / anti-icing before the aircraft takes off to ensure the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft. Aircraft deicing refers to the process of removing ice, snow and frost on the surface of the wings and the fuselage of the aircraft. Since deicing fluid can lower the freezing point of water and thus delay the icing time, heated deicing fluid is usually sprayed onto the surface of the aircraft for ground deicing and anti-icing. The ground icing research is mainly based on temperature, humidity, wind speed and other sensors to obtain the macro icing probability, and there is a deficiency in the prediction of micro icing characteristics and the precision calculation of icing time.
[0003] The aircraft secondary icing time margin refers to the shortest time for which the deicing / anti-icing fluid prevents the icing, frost and snow on the protected surface of the aircraft, and the aircraft must take off within the deicing fluid retention time, otherwise secondary deicing operation must be carried out to prevent the reattachment of ice, snow and frost on the wings and other typical surfaces after the deicing fluid fails.
[0004] The existing aircraft secondary deicing control theory is based on the deicing fluid retention time (HOT), that is, the estimated time for which the deicing fluid can prevent the formation of ice and frost and the accumulation of snow on the protected (treated) surface of the aircraft. The retention time is derived from the Boeing Airbus aircraft manufacturer AMM manual / deicing fluid manufacturer / civil aircraft maintenance industry standard MH3145.49 "Civil aircraft deicing / anti-icing" provisions and recommended data, but since the retention time of the deicing / anti-icing fluid is related to the deicing fluid ratio, flow and on-site meteorological conditions and other parameters, in actual situations, the deicing department often determines the most stringent situation. The difference between the secondary deicing signal time point issued by the deicing department according to the recommended value of the deicing fluid retention time and the secondary deicing signal time point issued according to the actual retention time of the deicing fluid of the aircraft has a great influence on the safety and efficiency of the aircraft deicing process. The secondary operation signal provided based on the method can determine the secondary deicing operation signal time point according to the deicing site environment and operation parameters, thereby facilitating scientific, efficient and safe control of the aircraft deicing process.
[0005] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are: (1) the existing aircraft secondary icing time margin control is not easy to implement, has poor anti-interference ability, and the existing technology mainly relies on manual experience, has poor precision, is time-consuming and laborious in actual operation, and has high cost. (2) The existing technology cannot effectively predict the aircraft whole machine secondary icing time margin and icing time point, and cannot provide scientific and accurate reference for the dispatch command department, so that the flight take-off and landing efficiency is low. (3) In the prior art, the determination of the aircraft secondary icing time depends on the reference value given by the manufacturer and the work experience of the operating personnel, but under the influence of various environmental factors, the value has great volatility and error; the subsequent take-off priority depends on the estimation and judgment of the crew and the air traffic control department, which has great contingency and has problems such as time difference and scheduling conflict, affecting the flight take-off and landing efficiency.
