The position of the center of stiffness has an important influence on the force transmission characteristics, vibration characteristics and structural deformation of the structure. The determination of the center of stiffness directly affects the internal force transmission and distribution of the wing structure, and is a key to ensure the matching of the wing structure and the aerodynamic load.

[0003] In aircraft stiffness test, the position of the center of stiffness of the wing section is usually obtained by using a numerical model theory calculation method.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] A method for determining the position of the center of rigidity of a straight airfoil, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0026] Step 1: Determine the section to be loaded, install the test wing onto the loading device at the designated section. The test wing includes a front spar 3 and a rear spar 4, which correspond to the installation positions of the dial indicator 5. Weigh the loading device and record its weight. This will allow you to remove the weight of the loading device during the test and accurately obtain the load applied to the test wing.

[0027] Step 2: Pressurize and check if the control system, measurement system and loading equipment are normal. If normal, proceed to the next step.

[0028] Step 3: Control the loading device to apply load to the test wing and load it to the initial reading, which is the tare value. Then, control the loading device to maintain the tare value for a period of time and then zero the dial indicator 5.

[0029] Preferably, the first time is 60 seconds, which can be adjusted as needed to ensure the accuracy of zeroing the dial indicator 5.

[0030] Step 4: Set different loading point positions on the wing, control the loading device to continue applying load to the test wing until the value on the dial indicator 5 reaches the position of each loading point, and record the feedback value of the force sensor 6 on the electric drive actuator 1 at different loading points.

[0031] The loading device includes an electrically driven actuator 1, which can specifically be an electric push rod. The electrically driven actuator 1 applies displacement through the loading device using a position control monitoring method. Considering the clearance of the loading device, a dial indicator 5 is installed at the loading position on the airfoil section to measure the actual deformation of the airfoil section. Simultaneously, the dial indicator 5 provides feedback as a command to the electrically driven actuator 1. For bending stiffness conditions, the deformation at the airfoil section is uniform, meaning the feedback from the dial indicator 5 is consistent.

[0032] Preferably, the loading device applies load to three loading points on the test wing separately, with the corresponding dial indicator 5 positions at 20mm, 40mm, and 60mm, respectively. The number of loading points can be adjusted as needed, while ensuring that the difference between the dial indicator 5 positions of any two adjacent loading points is the same to guarantee the accuracy of the test.

[0033] Step 5: Control the loading device to exit loading to the initial reading of dial gauge 5;

[0034] Step 6: Calculate the average value of the feedback values ​​from the multiple sets of force sensors 6, and calculate the position of the rigid center of the profile according to the load ratio.

[0035] Step 7: Determine other wing profiles that need to be loaded. Repeat steps 3-6, and control the test wings to be installed on the loading equipment according to different profiles. Test and calculate the position of the center of rigidity at different profiles.

[0036] Step 8: Unload and decompress.

[0037] The electrically driven actuator 1 is superior to the hydraulic actuator due to its high positioning accuracy, fast response speed, precise control, and high synchronization. The loading device uses a clamping plate 2 or a tension / compression pad-lever configuration to reduce the impact of loading device clearance on the test. The structure when using clamping plate 2 for loading is as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the structure when using tension / compression pad-lever loading is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0038] As a specific embodiment, the device for determining the center of flat wing profile also includes a method, which comprises a loading device, a control system, a measuring system and an electrically driven actuator 1. The loading device includes a clamping plate 2 and a connecting column 7. The electrically driven actuator 1 is arranged on the ground or a support structure. The electrically driven actuator 1 has two groups and is arranged vertically and side by side. The clamping plate 2 has two groups and is arranged horizontally and vertically. The connecting column 7 has two groups and is connected to the two groups of clamping plates 2 side by side. A test wing is connected to the connecting column 7. The output end of the electrically driven actuator 1 is connected to the lower clamping plate 2. The measuring system includes a force sensor 6 and a micrometer 5. The force sensor 6 is arranged between the clamping plate 2 and the output end of the electrically driven actuator 1. The micrometer 5 is arranged at the loading position of the wing profile.

[0039] The control system is a controller or a computer, which can control the loading device, the measuring system and the electrically driven actuator 1. The control system controls the electrically driven actuator 1 to cooperate with the clamping plate 2 and the connecting column 7 to load the test wing, obtains the values of the force sensor 6 and the micrometer 5, and collects the deformation of the test wing, so as to realize simple and efficient loading of the test wing.

Any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
