Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration control, and in particular to a vibration measurement and control device and method for a multi-stage flexible coupling vibration reduction structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the aerospace field, large size, low stiffness, and flexibility are important development trends for various aerospace structures. More and more structures are employing a coupling of rigid and flexible structures. Such structures can increase payload weight and improve the efficiency of launch vehicles; large structures can also enhance the functionality of space structures, such as large-area solar panels providing more power. However, this also brings a series of new problems. These structures have low modal damping; if no measures are taken to suppress their vibrations, once subjected to a certain excitation force, their large-amplitude vibrations can persist for a long time, affecting operational accuracy and causing premature fatigue failure. With the rapid advancement of aerospace technology, research on the rapid suppression of coupled vibrations of various structures is of great significance.

[0003] Spacecraft such as spaceships and satellites rely primarily on batteries for power during spaceflight, and this power supply mainly comes from solar panels. As a power source, solar panels are fundamental to the normal operation of spacecraft. Solar panels, with a span of approximately ten meters, are characterized by flexibility, large size, and nonlinearity. Their deployment and retraction easily induce vibrations with densely packed vibration modes, making control highly challenging.

[0004] Non-contact measurement offers numerous advantages over traditional contact-based sensor measurements. It does not affect the dynamic performance of the object being measured, does not interfere with its normal operation due to added mass, is non-destructive, and has strong anti-interference capabilities. However, the accuracy of non-contact measurements is generally lower than that of contact measurements. Non-contact measurement is a simple and effective vibration measurement method, commonly employing methods such as laser vibrometers, laser sensors, and binocular vision systems. Among these, the binocular vision system vibration measurement method, composed of two high-speed cameras, is increasingly becoming a simple, convenient, and highly valuable vibration measurement method due to the development and maturity of image processing and analysis technologies.

[0078] The piezoelectric fiber sensor is used to detect the vibration signal of the flexible beam. It converts the vibration signal into a corresponding electrical signal output by its own sensing characteristics. After being amplified by the charge amplifier 28, the signal is transmitted to the motion control card 27 through the terminal board 29.

[0084] The vibration control section includes a piezoelectric fiber sheet driver 4 and a piezoelectric stacked brake 18. After the computer receives the vibration signal, it generates a corresponding control signal through calculation, inputs it into the motion control card 27, outputs it through the terminal board 29, amplifies it through the piezoelectric amplifier circuit 26, and then inputs it into the piezoelectric fiber sheet driver and the piezoelectric stacked brake to suppress the vibration of the flexible beam and the multi-level coupled structure.

[0085] Specifically, the piezoelectric fiber sheet actuator 4 is composed of four piezoelectric fiber sheets, with four piezoelectric fiber sheet actuators placed on each flexible beam. Two actuators are placed on each side and connected in parallel. They are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the flexible beam in the width direction. The piezoelectric fiber sheet is 40mm away from the edge of the fixed end in the width direction and 20mm away from the edge line in the length direction, which is used to suppress the bending vibration of the vertically placed flexible beam.

[0086] Specifically, the piezoelectric stacked brake is arranged in the secondary honeycomb shaft motion control section, with 6 of them symmetrically arranged along the circumference on the protruding disk of shaft 17 to control vibration deviation at different angles.

[0087] Specifically, the piezoelectric stacked brake is also arranged on the outer support of the crystal-like damping structure, with one brake on each outer support, for a total of four, to control vibrations at different angles.

[0088] Specifically, an initial force is applied to the flexible beam 2, and then the electric cylinder is driven, so that the vibration of the entire mechanism is closer to the vibration of the solar panels in space.

[0089] Specifically, the bending and torsion of the flexible beam 2 are controlled by the piezoelectric fiber sheet actuator 4.

[0090] Specifically, the piezoelectric fiber sheet actuator 4 is placed on the flexible beam 2 near the fixed end; wherein each flexible beam 2 has four piezoelectric fiber sheet actuators, two on each side, which are symmetrical about the center in the width direction, 40mm away from the edge in the width direction of the fixed end, with an orientation of 90°, and 20mm away from the edge in the length direction, to suppress the bending vibration of the flexible beam 2.

[0094] like Figure 19 As shown, this embodiment also provides a measurement and control method for a multi-level flexible coupling vibration reduction structure, including:

[0095] Step 1: The computer outputs a signal, which is processed by the motion control card and the terminal board, and then drives the servo motor to move the shaft end of the electric cylinder, which in turn drives the top support connected to it. Due to the presence of the rotating flexible grid coupling structure, the secondary flexible honeycomb wall structure and the tertiary flexible crystal structure, the vibration is directly and rapidly transmitted and coupled in the flexible beam and the overall structure.

[0096] Step 2: Use a piezoelectric fiber sensor to detect the vibration of the flexible beam placed on the solar panel structure and obtain its measurement signal. Use an accelerometer unit to detect the vibration signal of the flexible beam and obtain its vibration signal.

[0098] Step 4: The piezoelectric sensor signals, accelerometer signals, and binocular vision vibration information collected in Steps 2 and 3 are processed by charge amplifiers and then transmitted to the motion control card through the terminal board. The analog signals are then converted into digital signals by the A / D conversion module inside the motion control card and transmitted to the computer.

[0099] Step 5: The vibration detection signal obtained in step 4 is used to obtain the corresponding vibration feedback signal through the computer. The signal is then output by the D / A converter of the motion control card, transmitted through the terminal board, and amplified by the piezoelectric amplifier circuit before being output to the piezoelectric fiber driver and the piezoelectric stacked brake, thereby suppressing the vibration of the flexible beam and the multi-stage coupled structure.

[0100] Step 6: Adjust the parameters multiple times, conduct repeated experiments, and analyze the experimental results to obtain the vibration characteristics and control effect of the flexible beam.

[0101] In this embodiment, the flexible beams are made of identical materials, both being thin sheets of epoxy resin. The dimensions of flexible beam 2 are 400mm × 150mm × 2mm, and the elastic modulus of the epoxy resin is E. p =34.64 GPa, density is ρ = 1840 kg / m³ 3 .
