TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a ship rudder surface load simulation system, and belongs to the field of electro-hydraulic servo control and semi-physical simulation. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ship rudder surface load simulation system is a semi-physical simulation device for simulating the dynamic force / torque of a bearing system in the actual working process under laboratory conditions. The system can be applied to simulate the seawater hydrodynamic force / torque of a ship rudder. Using the load simulation system, the above-mentioned load can be simulated in a laboratory environment to evaluate the structural material strength, control accuracy, response speed and system reliability of the rudder device, and to evaluate the overall performance of the rudder device, thereby reducing the product development cost and cycle, and having great practical significance for the field of national defense and industrial production. In the prior art, the rudder system and the loading system are connected by an approximately rigid connection. When the rudder system moves, the loading system hydraulic cylinder piston rod moves together, which causes forced flow in the loading system hydraulic cylinder, and further causes excessive force, which seriously affects the loading accuracy. In addition, since the load spectrum to be simulated is a nonlinear function, the load simulator is required to be a high-order static error-free system. However, due to the existence of excessive force, it is difficult to achieve the accuracy of dynamic loading. The control strategy of the loading system needs to compensate for the excessive force, which makes the design of the control strategy more difficult and complex, and is difficult to apply to different objects.
[0003] In order to eliminate the excessive force, achieve high-precision loading, reduce the complexity of the control strategy, and realize the production and use of the load simulation system, there is an urgent need for a load simulation system that is not affected by the excessive force.

[0006] Further, the position signal generator transmits a position signal instruction to the rudder system controller; the displacement sensor detects the position information of the rudder system piston rod, and the detection signal is input to the controller through the servo amplifier; the controller controls the asymmetric servo valve according to the position signal and the detection information; the asymmetric servo valve drives the rudder system piston rod to move; the movement of the rudder system piston rod drives the force sensor, the connecting rod and the hinge A fixedly connected with the rudder system piston rod to move; the movement of the rudder system piston rod drives the ship rudder surface to swing; the ship rudder surface is a concave surface, which can increase the force receiving area and reduce energy loss; the force sensor detects the force between the connecting rod and the rudder system piston rod; the force sensor feeds back the detection signal to the industrial computer in real time; the industrial computer controls the left frequency converter and the right frequency converter according to the load signal and the feedback signal; the left frequency converter regulates the water outlet speed of the left centrifugal pump; the right frequency converter regulates the water outlet pressure of the right centrifugal pump.
[0007] Further, the rudder system piston rod initial position is the rudder system hydraulic cylinder middle position; when the rudder system piston rod moves to the right side, the right switch opens and the left switch closes; the left centrifugal pump works, and the water outlet outputs water column to the left side of the ship rudder surface, and the ship rudder surface is loaded with water power, simulating the left side seawater hydrodynamic force suffered by the ship when turning; when the rudder system piston rod moves to the left side, the left switch opens and the right switch closes; the right centrifugal pump works, and the water outlet outputs water column to the right side of the ship rudder surface, and the ship rudder surface is loaded with water power, simulating the right side seawater hydrodynamic force suffered by the ship when turning, which can simulate the liquid dynamic force suffered by the ship rudder surface when low-frequency reversing, and the loading force is not affected by the excess force.
[0008] The working principle of the application is: the controller controls the asymmetric servo valve according to the deviation between the position signal given by the position signal generator and the rudder system piston rod position signal detected by the displacement sensor, and then drives the rudder system piston rod to move, and the rudder system piston rod drives the force sensor, connecting rod and hinge A which are fixedly connected with the rudder system piston rod to move, and then drives the ship rudder surface to swing.

The industrial computer transmits the force loading signal to the right frequency converter, and then controls the right centrifugal pump to work, and the right centrifugal pump left outlet shoots water column to the right side of the ship rudder surface, and loads the ship rudder surface. The force sensor detects the force between the connecting rod and the rudder system piston rod, and feeds back the detection value to the input end of the industrial computer in real time, and the industrial computer controls the right frequency converter according to the detection signal, and then adjusts the water outlet pressure of the right centrifugal pump, simulating the liquid dynamic force suffered by the ship rudder surface when low-frequency reversing.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the ship rudder surface load simulation system provided by the present application, the active movement of the rudder system does not interfere with the loading force of the load simulation system, because the rudder system and the load simulation system are not rigidly connected. When the ship rudder surface swings in a certain direction, the centrifugal pump outlet of the corresponding side of the direction shoots a water column, which acts on the ship rudder surface, and the water potential pressure is used to load the rudder surface, the loading force can be accurately calculated and controlled, and is not affected by the excess force, so that high-precision loading can be realized, the control strategy does not need to consider the compensation problem of the excess force, and the complexity of the control strategy is reduced.
