Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-speed wind tunnel testing technology, specifically relating to a multi-channel air intake wind tunnel testing device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Air intakes are an important component of aircraft, responsible for providing high-quality air to the engines. The design level of air intakes not only affects the performance of engines to a certain extent, but also affects the improvement of the aircraft's technical and tactical capabilities.

[0003] With the advancement of science and technology, aircraft have entered a period of rapid development. Some types of high-speed aircraft have already progressed from single-engine and twin-engine configurations to three-engine and four-engine multi-engine (multi-aisle) configurations, and may even develop to five or more engines in the future. Multi-aisle aircraft have improved payload capacity and cruise radius. Multi-aisle aircraft are relatively large in size and mainly adopt flying wing or flying wing-like aerodynamic schemes with high lift-to-drag ratios.

[0004] High-speed wind tunnel testing is the most direct and reliable technical means to obtain inlet performance parameters. In the existing layout design of high-speed wind tunnel inlet test equipment, flow meters are installed in the supersonic wind tunnel over-expansion section, the sump chamber, or even outside the tunnel. Due to the long pipe length, there is a significant pipe effect, which has a certain impact on the accuracy of inlet wind tunnel test data.

[0005] Due to the relatively small size of conventionally designed single-engine and twin-engine aircraft, a one-meter-class high-speed wind tunnel can generally meet the testing requirements. The aerodynamic load on the inlet model of a one-meter-class high-speed wind tunnel is relatively small, and the support method and sideslip angle positioning method are relatively simple. The load-bearing capacity requirements for the support system and sideslip angle positioning blocks are not high, making support relatively easy. Individual tail supports, back supports, or belly supports can be used for model support. The flow meter is small and lightweight, and its installation position is relatively easy to adjust. It can be installed on the central support of the wind tunnel using simple lug or sleeve forms. The flow meter is relatively close to the inlet model, resulting in relatively good test data quality.

[0006] For newly developed three-engine and four-engine aircraft, due to their relatively large aerodynamic shape and complex intake and exhaust systems, there may be a scaling effect. One-meter-class high-speed wind tunnels are no longer sufficient to meet simulation requirements; intake duct model wind tunnel tests must be conducted in two-meter-class high-speed wind tunnels. In a two-meter-class high-speed wind tunnel, the aerodynamic load on the model increases significantly, especially under supersonic conditions. During wind tunnel startup and shutdown, the model experiences exponentially increasing impact loads in both the longitudinal and lateral directions, placing stringent demands on the longitudinal and lateral load-bearing capacity of the intake duct test equipment. Simultaneously, the model experiences severe vibrations, which can easily lead to safety accidents. Furthermore, two-meter-class high-speed wind tunnel flowmeters are relatively expensive to manufacture, large in size, and use lug-type connections, limiting their versatility. The flowmeters are also heavy, requiring sleeve-type connections, making fitting clearances and installation positioning relatively difficult. It is also necessary to minimize the distance between the intake duct model and the flowmeter to reduce pipe effects and improve the quality of experimental data.

[0007] Currently, existing inlet wind tunnel test equipment is mainly designed for single-engine and twin-engine aircraft, and its load-bearing capacity is relatively limited. Although some high-speed wind tunnels have developed three-engine or four-engine inlet test equipment, the flow meter is installed in the wind tunnel over-expansion section, which is far from the model outlet, resulting in a large pipe effect.

[0008] Therefore, in order to adapt to the rapid development of aircraft, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device with high load-bearing capacity, convenient positioning and strong versatility, as well as to develop the corresponding usage method of the multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is a screw and pipe thread assembly. The length of the telescopic rod can be adjusted and tightened as needed until the multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device forms a stable force triangle.

[0016] Furthermore, the main body of the telescopic pull rod is a tube.

[0017] The length of the telescopic rod is adjusted by rotating the forward and reverse external threaded rods relative to the pipe body. After adjustment, the forward and reverse internal threaded tensioning nuts are tightened to lock the length of the telescopic rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the horizontal side of the lower corner block is positioned in conjunction with the through groove of the lower base, and the vertical side is positioned in conjunction with the vertical surface of the lower ear piece; the horizontal side of the upper corner block is positioned in conjunction with the through groove of the upper base, and the vertical side is positioned in conjunction with the vertical surface of the upper ear piece.

[0019] Furthermore, the lower base and the upper base are symmetrical, and by interchangeing the lower base and the upper base, the model can be switched between the tail support and diagonal back support method and the tail support and diagonal web support method.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower angle block is a group of lower angle blocks with a series of angles, and the upper angle block is a group of upper angle blocks with a series of angles that correspond one-to-one with the lower angle block group.

[0021] Furthermore, the multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device has several air intakes, each air intake consisting of a measuring section, a transition section, and a flow meter connected sequentially from front to back, with the flow meter mounted between the lower clamp and the upper clamp; the lower base, lower clamp, flow meter, upper clamp, transition plate, and upper base are fixedly connected by screws in a bottom-to-top order.

[0038] S35. Finally, tighten the positive internal thread tension nut and the negative internal thread tension nut to lock the length of the telescopic rod.

[0039] The multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device of the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0040] a. It adopts a split and symmetrical design, with a reasonable layout and simple structure, which improves the scalability and versatility of the multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device; by designing the number of upper and lower clamps to match the number of channels, the number of channels can be effectively expanded; by symmetrically interchangeable lower and upper bases, a composite form of "tail support + diagonal brace" can be achieved.

[0041] b. The use of a "tail support + diagonal brace" composite method forms a stable force triangle for the entire air intake wind tunnel test device, which improves the longitudinal bearing capacity of the air intake wind tunnel test device and effectively solves the model vibration problem.

[0042] c. The "through groove + variable corner block (long L-shaped)" variable side sliding angle method is adopted, which has more mating surfaces and improves the lateral load-bearing capacity and side sliding angle positioning accuracy of the support system; the variable corner block realizes the side sliding angle positioning and also realizes the connection between the base and the lug.

[0043] d. The use of clamps for installation and positioning of the flow meter solves the problem of difficult installation and positioning of large flow meters in the curved support during wind tunnel testing; the bottom of the lower clamp is equipped with a semi-circular retaining ring to achieve rearward limiting of the flow meter, while the upper clamp does not have a semi-circular retaining ring to avoid interference problems during installation;

[0044] e. The telescopic rod uses an adjustable length screw and pipe thread assembly, which can adjust and lock the length of the telescopic rod according to the actual side length of the triangle, thus improving the applicability of the telescopic rod.

[0045] In summary, the multi-channel inlet wind tunnel testing device of this invention adopts a split and symmetrical design. It uses a composite structure of "tail support + telescopic tie rod" to support the model, and a "groove + variable angle block (long L-shaped)" method to achieve varying side-slip angles. Flow meters are installed and positioned using clamps. The composite support improves the rigidity and strength of the support system while effectively preventing model vibration. The telescopic tie rod has a variable length function, improving the device's scalability and versatility. The "through groove + variable angle block (long L-shaped)" method for varying side-slip angles improves the lateral load-bearing capacity and side-slip angle positioning accuracy of the support system. The clamp method solves the problem of difficult installation and positioning of large flow meters in curved support brackets during wind tunnel testing. This multi-channel inlet wind tunnel testing device is applicable to the support of other wind tunnel test models and can also be extended to the field of industrial equipment installation.

[0046] The multi-channel air intake wind tunnel test device of the present invention includes an installation method, a side slip angle adjustment method, and a telescopic rod adjustment method. Each method is simple, easy to operate, and highly efficient. Attached Figure Description
