In order to eliminate as many faults as possible on the ground, the test and test requirements of the aircraft are further increased, especially the test and test of the aircraft under different flight states and different load environments, which includes the test and test of the aircraft under different attack angles. The attack angle is defined as the angle between the projection of the aircraft speed vector on the longitudinal symmetry plane and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The state of the fuel and some components in the aircraft will change under different attack angles, and their response will also change. The fuel sloshing analysis and component sloshing response analysis under different attack angles are of great significance to the test and test of the aircraft. The current test method is generally to design a test tool with an angle, or to set different angle pads on the ordinary test tool, simulate the attack angle of the aircraft, and then perform the sloshing test.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a device and method for adjusting the angle of attack of an aircraft during a shaking test. The device for adjusting the angle of attack of the aircraft during the shaking test includes a base plate 1, a rotating shaft support 2, a pad block 3, a rotating platform 4, a test aircraft 5, a threaded rotating block 6, a screw 7, a motor 8, a motor support 9, a vibration table 10, a vibration control system, and a motor control system. The bottom of the base plate 1 is fixed to the surface of the vibration table 10, and the top is connected to the rotating shaft support 2. The two ends of the rotating platform 4 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft support 2 and the threaded rotating block 6 through rotating shafts. The test aircraft 5 is fixed on the rotating platform 4 by special tooling. One end of the screw 7 is screwed into the threaded rotating block 6, and the other end is connected to the motor 8 through a coupling. The motor 8 is connected to the motor support 9 through a rotating shaft, and the motor support 9 is fixed to the base plate 1.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft support 2 and the rotating platform 4, the rotating platform 4 and the threaded rotating block 6, and the motor 8 and the motor support 9 are connected by a rotating shaft. By adjusting the fitting dimensions, the two connected components can rotate only around the rotating shaft. The base plate 1 is provided with several through holes or threaded holes and is connected to the rotating shaft support 2, the motor support 9, and the vibration table 10 by fasteners. The connection position between the base plate 1 and the rotating shaft support 2 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the rotation angle range of the rotating platform 4. A first pad 31 and a second pad 32 of different thicknesses can be provided between the base plate 1 and the rotating shaft support 2 to adjust the height of the rotating shaft support 2, thereby adjusting the rotation angle range of the rotating platform 4.

[0036] Furthermore, the base plate 1 includes a bottom panel and a support mounting plate disposed on the bottom panel. The bottom panel has two rows of connecting through holes along its length, respectively near the two long sides. When installing the base plate 1, its position can be adjusted according to actual needs. The support mounting plate is a T-shaped support mounting plate with two rows of connecting through holes along its length, respectively near the two long sides. The rotating shaft support 2 can be threadedly fixed to the corresponding connecting through holes as needed, realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the rotating shaft support 2. Simultaneously, the height of the rotating shaft support 2 and the support mounting plate can also be adjusted using shims, for example... Figure 2 The first pad 31 and the second pad 32 are shown.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the tested aircraft has a certain range of angle of attack adjustment.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the vibration control system can drive the vibration table 10 to output swaying excitation and transmit it to the test aircraft 5. The vibration excitation is collected by the acceleration sensors installed on the vibration table 10 and the test aircraft 5. The vibration table 10 outputs the desired vibration spectrum through closed-loop control. At the same time, the motor control system controls the motor 8 to output positive or negative torque. The motor 8 drives the screw block 6 to move through the screw 7, which in turn drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate. The tilt angle of the rotating platform 4 is measured by the non-contact angular displacement sensor, thereby adjusting the output of the motor. Finally, the angle of attack of the test aircraft 5 can be adjusted during the swaying test.

[0039] The specific implementation process of this specific implementation is as follows:

[0040] Step 1: Install the motor support 9 onto the base plate 1 using fasteners, and install the motor 8 onto the motor support 9 via a rotating shaft. Adjust the rotating shaft so that the motor 8 can rotate only around the rotating shaft.

[0041] Step 2: Screw the screw 7 into the threaded rotating block 6, and install the threaded rotating block 6 on one end of the rotating platform 4 through the rotating shaft. Install the other end of the rotating platform 4 on the rotating shaft support 2 through the rotating shaft. Adjust the rotating shaft so that the threaded rotating block 6 and the rotating platform 4 can rotate only around the rotating shaft.

[0042] Step 3: Set a first pad 31 and a second pad 32 of different thicknesses between the rotating shaft support 2 and the base plate 1, and adjust the specific installation position of the rotating shaft support 2 on the base plate 1. At the same time, connect the screw 7 and the motor 8 through the coupling.

[0043] Step four: Install the base plate 1 on the vibration table 10 using fasteners, and drive the motor 8 through the motor control system to output forward and reverse torques to check whether the rotating platform 4 can rotate normally. At the same time, measure the rotation angle range of the rotating platform 4 using a non-contact angular displacement sensor. If the rotation angle range does not meet the test requirements, repeat step three to adjust the thickness and specific installation position of the pad 3 between the rotating shaft support 2 and the base plate 1 until the rotation angle range of the rotating platform 4 is greater than the angle of attack range required for the test of the aircraft 5.

[0044] Step 5: Fix the test aircraft 5 onto the rotating platform 4 using a special tooling. Repeat step 4, drive the rotating platform 4 and the test aircraft 5 to rotate using the motor 8, check whether the angle of attack required for the test aircraft 5 can be met, and ensure that there is no interference between the components and the test aircraft 5 within the angle of attack range.

[0045] Step Six: Start the vibration control system, drive the vibration table 10 to output swaying excitation and transmit it to the test aircraft 5. The vibration excitation is collected by the acceleration sensors installed on the vibration table 10 and the test aircraft 5. The vibration table 10 outputs the desired swaying environment through closed-loop control. At the same time, the motor control system controls the motor 8 to output positive or negative torque. The motor 8 drives the screw block 6 to move through the screw 7, which in turn drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate. The tilt angle of the rotating platform 4 is measured by the non-contact angular displacement sensor, and the output of the motor is adjusted accordingly. Finally, the angle of attack of the test aircraft 5 can be adjusted during the swaying test.
