Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of flight test, in particular to a drag cone system delay test device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Static pressure is a key parameter for calculating the flight height and speed of an aircraft. In the flight test of airspeed calibration, stall speed, flight thrust determination, RVSM and other subjects, a drag cone system is often used to introduce a static pressure source away from the fuselage and not affected by the airflow disturbance of the aircraft to the cabin for measurement.
[0003] The drag cone static pressure method has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, no airspace restriction, high take-off and landing success rate of flight test, and good data regularity. However, the length of the drag cone system pipeline is generally more than several dozen meters. Due to the viscosity of gas, there is a delay when the air pressure is conducted from one end of the static pressure hole to the sensor at the other end. Especially when the aircraft climbs or descends at different rates at different air pressure altitudes, the delay is different, causing reference static pressure delay error. In order to correct the delay error, the drag cone system needs to carry out delay test before use to determine the delay time.
[0004] Traditionally, the method of vacuum extraction is often used to determine the delay time of the drag cone system, that is, the pressure in the drag cone pipeline is extracted to a certain vacuum degree from the static pressure hole by a vacuum pump, and a certain pressure difference Δp is formed with the outside atmosphere. After the pressure is stable, the pressure at the static pressure hole is released instantaneously, and the time difference used by the pressure values of the sensors at both ends to return to atmospheric pressure is recorded and compared, which is the delay time corresponding to the pressure difference Δp. Repeat the test multiple times to measure the delay time corresponding to different pressure differences. Through multiple point fitting, the delay time when the pressure difference is zero can be obtained, which is considered as the delay time of the drag cone system.
[0005] This method needs to repeat the test multiple times to measure the delay time corresponding to different pressure differences, and through multiple point fitting, the delay time when the pressure difference is zero is obtained. The test process of this method is complicated, and the error of reading the delay time is large each time, which cannot simulate the delay time when the aircraft climbs or descends at different rates at different air pressure altitudes in a single test. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to solve the above problems and provide a drag cone system delay test device and method for measuring the delay of the drag cone system in the flight test process.
[0007] The present application provides a drag cone system delay test device, which comprises a pressure sensor A for detecting the pressure at the end of the static pressure measurement pipe and a pressure sensor B for detecting the pressure at the static pressure hole on the static pressure measurement pipe. The pressure sensor A and the pressure sensor B are respectively connected with a data acquisition and recorder, and a pressure control device is arranged at the static pressure hole.
[0008] Further, the static pressure measuring tube is provided with an airtight clamp covering the static pressure hole at a position close to the static pressure hole.
[0009] Further, the airtight clamp, the pressure sensor B and the pressure control device are connected through a tee pipe.
[0010] Further, the end of the static pressure measuring tube is connected with the pressure sensor A through a straight pipe.
[0011] Further, the pressure sensor A and the pressure sensor B are respectively connected with the data acquisition and recorder through sensor cables.
[0012] The present application also provides a drag cone system delay test method. During the test, the target air pressure height and the change rate are set by the pressure control device, and the different climbing rates or descending rates of the airplane are simulated by the change rate. After the pressure control device is started, the pressure control device adjusts the air pressure in the drag cone system to the target air pressure height at the set change rate. At this time, the pressure sensor A and the pressure sensor B measure the current pressure in the pipe in real time and send it to the data acquisition and recorder. By analyzing the data collected and recorded by the two sensors, the delay time of the drag cone system can be obtained.
[0013] Further, the air pressure is adjusted by the pressure control device multiple times in a single test to simulate the climbing or descending of the airplane at different rates at different air pressure heights.
[0014] The present application is easy to operate, the measurement method is scientific and reasonable, the measurement result is intuitive and accurate, and the delay of the drag cone system when the airplane climbs or descends at different rates at different air pressure heights can be simulated and measured in one test. The traditional method of vacuum extraction to a set value, release from the static pressure hole and then vacuum extraction again is effectively replaced, and the result can be obtained without complex data analysis.
