Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of centroid measurement technology, and more specifically, relates to an automatic centroid measurement device and method for a suspended loitering rovers. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main method for measuring the center of mass of an aircraft is the support method, which involves supporting the aircraft with three or four sensors and measuring the center of mass based on the principle of torque balance.
[0003] For external rotating body structures such as missiles, a fitting arc surface tooling is used for fixation. First, the horizontal center of mass is measured. Then, the rotating body structure is rotated 90 degrees along the axis to measure the vertical center of mass.
[0004] Fixed-wing and other non-rotational aircraft utilize landing gear supported on a measurement platform to measure the horizontal center of gravity, and then measure the vertical center of gravity by changing the pitch attitude. The larger the pitch angle, the higher the accuracy of the vertical center of gravity measurement. Considering the convenience of practical operation, the pitch angle is usually controlled within 5°, resulting in lower accuracy of the vertical center of gravity measurement.
[0005] A suspended loitering pod is a type of fixed-wing aircraft that is mounted on a mother aircraft's launch pad via two mounting lugs. After takeoff, the mother aircraft launches the pod using a missile. Due to its non-rotating body structure, the pod cannot easily rotate 90 degrees along its axis, and its lack of landing gear makes it difficult to use a bottom-supported structure for attitude changes. Therefore, measuring the center of gravity of a suspended loitering pod cannot be done using the two methods mentioned above, making its measurement a challenging task. Summary of the Invention
