Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aircraft technology, and in particular to a control circuit, control method, aircraft, and storage medium for an electric throttle. Background Technology
[0002] The aircraft throttle console is the control device of the aircraft's power plant system, providing input for engine operation. It supplies the thrust lever position signal to the engine's FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Controller) for controlling the engine's forward and reverse thrust. The throttle console is also part of the aircraft's overall thrust management system, serving as the actuator for the automatic flight system. The angle resolver is a crucial component of the throttle console; after detecting the thrust lever angle command, it converts the mechanical angle into an analog electrical signal and sends it to the FADEC for thrust control.
[0003] Currently, the angle resolver is typically powered by the FADEC (Fabry-Performance Control Center). However, the FADEC is installed in the nacelle, and due to space constraints, its size cannot be too large. The angle resolver's power supply occupies eight electrical interfaces on the FADEC. Relying on the FADEC for input power leads to a severe shortage of FADEC interface resources and increases the FADEC's size, weight, and design complexity. Furthermore, the throttle console is located on the central cockpit control panel, while the FADEC is in the nacelle. The wiring from the central cockpit control panel to the nacelle is very long, further increasing the aircraft's overall weight and wiring complexity. Additionally, currently, the FADEC provides only one power supply channel for the angle resolver, lacking a backup channel, which significantly impacts the power supply safety and flight safety of the angle resolver.

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] It should be understood that, in the following description, a “circuit” refers to a conductive loop consisting of at least one element or sub-circuit connected by an electrical or electromagnetic link. When an element or circuit is said to be “connected to” another element, “connected” to another element, or “connected” between two nodes, it can be directly coupled to or connected to the other element, or there may be intermediate elements. The connection between elements can be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. Conversely, when an element is said to be “directly coupled to” or “directly connected to” another element, it means that there are no intermediate elements between them.
[0044] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0045] This application proposes a control circuit for an electric throttle. Specifically, the electric throttle control circuit proposed in this application is applicable to control scenarios where the aircraft's electric throttle is controlled by an angle resolver. In practical applications, the electric throttle control circuit proposed in this application is suitable for control scenarios where the aircraft's power supply directly powers the angle resolver, enabling the angle resolver to control the electric throttle.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a circuit diagram of a control circuit for an electric throttle provided in an embodiment of this application. The control circuit for the electric throttle includes: a first throttle power module 10, a second throttle power module 20, a first angle resolver 30, and a second angle resolver 40; the first throttle power module 10 and the first angle resolver 30 are connected in series to form a first branch; the second throttle power module 20 and the second angle resolver 40 are connected in series to form a second branch; the first branch is electrically connected between a first aircraft power supply 50 and the electric throttle 60; the second branch is electrically connected between a second aircraft power supply 70 and the electric throttle 60; wherein, the first throttle power module 10 is electrically connected between the first angle resolver 30 and the first aircraft power supply 50; and the second throttle power module 20 is electrically connected between the second angle resolver 40 and the second aircraft power supply 70.
[0047] The first throttle power module 10 has its input terminal electrically connected to the first aircraft power supply 50, its output terminal electrically connected to the first input terminal of the first angle resolver 30, and its output terminal electrically connected to the electric throttle 60. The first throttle power module 10 converts the electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50 into electrical energy compatible with the first angle resolver 30 and supplies power to the first angle resolver 30. The first angle resolver 30 controls the electric throttle 60 after being powered by the first throttle power module 10.
[0048] Specifically, the input terminal of the first throttle power module 10 receives electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50. The first throttle power module 10 converts the electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50 into electrical energy compatible with the first angle resolver 30 through filtering, inversion, etc. After the first angle resolver 30 is powered on, it outputs a first angle resolution signal to the FADEC (full authority digital engine control). The FADEC sends a first control signal to the electric throttle 60 based on the first angle resolution signal. After receiving the first control signal, the electric throttle 60 controls the output of the aircraft's engine.
[0049] Specifically, the first throttle power module 10, the first angle resolver 30, and the connecting line for electrically connecting the first throttle power module 10 and the first angle resolver 30 constitute the first power supply channel. Based on the first power supply channel, the first aircraft power supply 50 can be used to directly power the first angle resolver 30 without using the FADEC to power the first angle resolver 30. This frees up the eight electrical interfaces on the FADEC that are configured as power supply interfaces when using the FADEC, allowing these electrical interfaces to be used to realize other functions besides power supply, thereby improving the control capability of the FADEC and reducing the size and complexity of the FADEC.
[0050] Specifically, the first aircraft power supply 50 directly powers the first angle resolver 30, eliminating the need for a FADEC to power it. This eliminates the need for wiring from the FADEC to the first angle resolver 30, thus reducing aircraft weight and wiring complexity. In practical applications, the FADEC is located in the nacelle, while the first angle resolver 30 is located on the central control panel in the cockpit. Measurements show that a single power supply cable for the C-type aircraft is approximately 50m long, while for the wide-body project, a single cable is expected to be 80m long, with each cable weighing approximately 0.704kg. The eight cables used for powering the FADEC weigh approximately 5.632kg. By directly powering the first angle resolver 30 from the first aircraft power supply 50, eliminating the need for a FADEC, the weight of the eight cables can be reduced, lowering aircraft weight and simplifying wiring.
[0051] The second throttle power module 20 has its input terminal electrically connected to the second aircraft power supply 70, its output terminal electrically connected to the first input terminal of the second angle resolver 40, and its output terminal electrically connected to the electric throttle 60. The second throttle power module 20 converts the electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70 into electrical energy compatible with the second angle resolver 40 and supplies power to the second angle resolver 40. The second angle resolver 40 controls the electric throttle 60 after being powered by the second throttle power module 20.
[0052] Specifically, the input terminal of the second throttle power module 20 receives electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70. The second throttle power module 20 converts the electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70 into electrical energy compatible with the second angle resolver 40 through filtering, inversion, etc. After the second angle resolver 40 is powered on, it outputs a second angle resolution signal to the FADEC. The FADEC sends a second control signal to the electric throttle 60 based on the second angle resolution signal. After receiving the second control signal, the electric throttle 60 controls the output of the aircraft's engine.
[0053] Specifically, the second throttle power module 20, the second angle resolver 40, and the connecting wire for electrically connecting the second throttle power module 20 and the second angle resolver 40 constitute the second power supply channel. Based on the second power supply channel, the second aircraft power supply 70 can be used to directly power the second angle resolver 40 without using the FADEC to power the second angle resolver 40. This frees up the eight electrical interfaces on the FADEC that are configured as power supply interfaces when using the FADEC, allowing these electrical interfaces to be used to realize other functions besides power supply. This improves the control capability of the FADEC, reduces the size and complexity of the FADEC, and also reduces the weight of the eight wires, thus reducing the weight of the aircraft and the difficulty of aircraft wiring.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first angle resolver 30 is powered by the first aircraft power supply 50 and the first power supply channel, and the second angle resolver 40 is powered by the second aircraft power supply 70 and the second power supply channel. This allows the second power supply channel to be used to power the second angle resolver 40 when the first power supply channel fails. In other words, the second angle resolver 40 can be used when the first angle resolver 30 cannot work, thereby improving the power supply safety of the angle resolver and the flight safety of the aircraft.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of an electric throttle control circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. The control circuit further includes a third branch and a fourth branch. The third branch is electrically connected between the first throttle power module 10 and the second angle resolver 40, and the fourth branch is electrically connected between the second throttle power module 20 and the first angle resolver 30.
[0056] The third branch can be a wire or a circuit that transmits signals and electrical energy; the fourth branch can be a wire or a circuit that transmits signals and electrical energy.
[0057] The first throttle power module 10 has its input terminal electrically connected to the first aircraft power supply 50, its output terminal electrically connected to the first terminal of the third branch, its second terminal electrically connected to the second input terminal of the second angle resolver 40, and its output terminal electrically connected to the electric throttle 60. The first throttle power module 10 converts the electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50 into electrical energy compatible with the second angle resolver 40 and supplies power to the second angle resolver 40. The second angle resolver 40 controls the electric throttle 60 after being powered by the second throttle power module 20.
[0058] Specifically, the input terminal of the first throttle power module 10 receives electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50. The first throttle power module 10 converts the electrical energy output from the first aircraft power supply 50 into electrical energy compatible with the second angle resolver 40 through filtering, inversion, etc., and then transmits it to the second angle resolver 40 through the third branch. After the second angle resolver 40 is powered on, it outputs a third control signal to the electric throttle 60. After receiving the third control signal, the electric throttle 60 controls the output of the aircraft's engine.
[0059] Specifically, the first throttle power module 10, the second angle resolver 40, and the third branch for electrically connecting the first throttle power module 10 and the second angle resolver 40 constitute a third power supply channel. Based on the third power supply channel, the first aircraft power supply 50 can be used to directly power the second angle resolver 40 without using the FADEC to power the second angle resolver 40. This can improve the control capability of the FADEC, reduce the size and complexity of the FADEC, and also reduce the weight of the aircraft and the difficulty of aircraft wiring.
[0060] The second throttle power module 20 has its input terminal electrically connected to the second aircraft power supply 70, its output terminal electrically connected to the first terminal of the fourth branch, its second terminal electrically connected to the second input terminal of the first angle resolver 30, and its output terminal electrically connected to the electric throttle 60. The second throttle power module 20 converts the electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70 into electrical energy compatible with the first angle resolver 30 and supplies power to the first angle resolver 30. The second angle resolver 40 controls the electric throttle 60 after the first angle resolver 30 is powered.
[0061] Specifically, the input terminal of the second throttle power module 20 receives electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70. The second throttle power module 20 converts the electrical energy output from the second aircraft power supply 70 into electrical energy compatible with the first angle resolver 30 through filtering, inversion, etc., and then transmits it to the first angle resolver 30 through the fourth branch. After the first angle resolver 30 is powered on, it outputs a fourth control signal to the electric throttle 60. After receiving the fourth control signal, the electric throttle 60 controls the output of the aircraft's engine.
[0062] Specifically, the second throttle power module 20, the first angle resolver 30, and the fourth branch for electrically connecting the second throttle power module 20 and the first angle resolver 30 constitute the fourth power supply channel. Based on the fourth power supply channel, the second aircraft power supply 70 can be used to directly power the first angle resolver 30 without using the FADEC to power the first angle resolver 30. This can improve the control capability of the FADEC, reduce the size and complexity of the FADEC, and also reduce the weight of the aircraft and the difficulty of aircraft wiring.
[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of an electric throttle control circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. The input terminal of the first throttle power module 10 is electrically connected to the first aircraft power supply 50, and the output terminal of the first throttle power module 10 is electrically connected to the first input terminal of the first angle resolver 30 and the second input terminal of the second angle resolver 40.
[0064] The input terminal of the second throttle power module 20 is electrically connected to the second aircraft power supply 70, and the output terminal of the second throttle power module 20 is electrically connected to the second input terminal of the first angle resolver 30 and the first input terminal of the second angle resolver 40; the output terminals of the first angle resolver 30 and the second angle resolver 40 are electrically connected to the electric throttle 60.
[0065] In this embodiment, the first throttle power module 10 simultaneously supplies power to the first angle resolver 30 and the second angle resolver 40, and the second throttle power module 20 simultaneously supplies power to the first angle resolver 30 and the second angle resolver 40. This ensures that the first angle resolver 30 is powered by both the first and fourth power supply channels, and the second angle resolver 40 is powered by both the second and third power supply channels. Consequently, even if one of the power supply channels for the first angle resolver 30 and the second angle resolver 40 fails, the other channel can still supply power, thus improving the power supply safety of the angle resolvers and the flight safety of the aircraft.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of an electric throttle control circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. The control circuit further includes a first busbar 70 and a second busbar 80; the first aircraft power supply 50 and the first throttle power module 10 are electrically connected through the first busbar 70; the second aircraft power supply 70 and the second throttle power module 20 are electrically connected through the second busbar 80.

[0069] Specifically, the input terminal of the first busbar 70 is electrically connected to the first aircraft power supply 50, and the output terminal of the first busbar 70 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the first protection circuit 101, so that the electrical energy of the first aircraft power supply 50 is input to the first protection circuit 101 through the first busbar 70; the input terminal of the second busbar 80 is electrically connected to the second aircraft power supply 70, and the output terminal of the second busbar 80 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the second protection circuit 201, so that the electrical energy of the second aircraft power supply 70 is input to the second protection circuit 201 through the second busbar 80.

[0096] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 The circuit diagram of an electric throttle control circuit provided in this application embodiment shows that the first inverter circuit 104 can be a DC / AC conversion circuit, specifically, a DC 28V to AC 7V inverter module. The first power monitoring circuit 105 can be a 7V voltage comparison circuit. The 7V voltage comparison circuit samples the voltage at the output of the DC / AC conversion circuit. When the sampled voltage is greater than 7V, the 7V voltage comparison circuit reports a voltage monitoring fault to the main control module.
[0097] Specifically, the first throttle power module 10 also includes a 28V to 5VDC module and a 5V voltage comparison circuit, and a 28V to 15VDC module and a 15V voltage comparison circuit. First, the reference voltage is converted into threshold voltages for the 5V and 15V voltages used by the downstream load. These thresholds represent the voltage range required for the normal functioning of the downstream load. The 5V and 15V voltages output by the module are compared with these threshold voltages. If the voltage exceeds the threshold range, a voltage monitoring fault is reported to the main control module.
[0098] This application discloses a control circuit for an electric throttle, used to control the electric throttle of an aircraft. The control circuit includes: a first throttle power module 10, a second throttle power module 20, a first angle resolver 30, and a second angle resolver 40. The first throttle power module 10 and the first angle resolver 30 are connected in series to form a first branch; the second throttle power module 20 and the second angle resolver 40 are connected in series to form a second branch; the first branch is electrically connected between a first aircraft power supply 50 and the electric throttle 60; the second branch is electrically connected between a second aircraft power supply 70 and the electric throttle 60; wherein the first throttle power module 10 is electrically connected between the first angle resolver 30 and the first aircraft power supply 50; and the second throttle power module 20 is electrically connected between the second angle resolver 40 and the second aircraft power supply 70. This application connects the first throttle power module 10 and the first angle resolver 30 in series to form a first branch; and the second throttle power module 20 and the second angle resolver 40 in series to form a second branch. This allows the first angle resolver 30 and the second angle resolver 40 to be powered simultaneously. Even if one branch fails, the angle resolver powered by the other branch will still operate, greatly improving the power supply safety of the angle resolver. Furthermore, by electrically connecting the first throttle power module 10 between the first angle resolver 30 and the first aircraft power supply 50, and electrically connecting the second throttle power module 20 between the second angle resolver 40 and the second aircraft power supply 70, this application enables the first aircraft power supply to directly power the angle resolver. This not only reduces the size, design complexity, and interface resource constraints of the FADEC, but also reduces the overall weight of the aircraft and the complexity of aircraft wiring.
[0099] The above describes the control circuit of the electric throttle proposed in this application. Next, the control method of the electric throttle implemented based on any of the above embodiments will be described.
[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 The above, Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling an electric throttle according to an embodiment of this application. The control method includes:
[0101] Step S110: After the first throttle power module transmits electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
[0102] Step S120, or, after the second throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
[0103] When the first power supply channel is used to supply power to the first angle resolver, the first throttle power module transmits electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, and the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle after being powered on; when the second power supply channel is used to supply power to the second angle resolver, the second throttle power module transmits electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, and the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle after being powered on.
[0104] This application supplies power to the first angle resolver via a first throttle power module and to the second angle resolver via a second throttle power module, enabling simultaneous power supply to both angle resolvers. Even if one branch fails, the angle resolver powered by the other branch continues to operate, significantly improving power supply safety. Furthermore, this application directly supplies power to the angle resolvers via the aircraft's power supply, which not only reduces the size and design complexity of the FADEC and the scarcity of interface resources, but also reduces the overall weight of the aircraft and the complexity of its wiring.
[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 The above, Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling an electric throttle according to an embodiment of this application. The control method further includes:
[0106] Step S130: After the first throttle power module transmits electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
[0107] In step S140, after the second throttle power module transmits electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
[0108] When the second angle resolver is powered by the third power supply channel, the first throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, and the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle after being powered on; when the first angle resolver is powered by the fourth power supply channel, the second throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, and the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle after being powered on.
[0109] In this embodiment, the first throttle power module supplies power to both the first angle resolver and the second angle resolver simultaneously, and the second throttle power module supplies power to both the first angle resolver and the second angle resolver simultaneously. This ensures that the first angle resolver is powered by both the first and fourth power supply channels, and the second angle resolver is powered by both the second and third power supply channels. Consequently, even if one of the power supply channels for the first and second angle resolvers fails, the other channel can still supply power, thus improving the power supply safety of the angle resolvers and the flight safety of the aircraft.
[0110] In some embodiments, this application proposes an aircraft that includes the control circuit for the electric throttle as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0111] In some embodiments, this application proposes a storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the following steps: after the first throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle; or, after the second throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
[0112] After the first throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the first aircraft power supply to the second angle resolver, the second angle resolver controls the electric throttle; or, after the second throttle power module supplies electrical energy from the second aircraft power supply to the first angle resolver, the first angle resolver controls the electric throttle.
