Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of static calibration optical positioning of a wind tunnel balance, and is a high-precision optical positioning system for a wind tunnel balance. Background Art

[0002] Wind tunnel balance can decompose aerodynamic forces and moments along three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes and measure them accurately. Wind tunnel balances are divided into two categories according to the nature of force measurement: static force balances and dynamic force balances, which measure the aerodynamic forces acting on the model during steady flight and unsteady flight respectively. Static force balances have many forms such as internal and external types, and are divided into mechanical, strain, piezoelectric and magnetic suspension types according to the structure and measurement principle. Mechanical balances are mainly used in low-speed wind tunnels, and the most common types are tensioned wire type and hard frame type.

[0003] Wind tunnel model testing is one of the important means to understand the performance of aircraft and reduce the risk and cost of aircraft development during the development of aerospace vehicles. The wind tunnel balance is a high-precision measuring device that directly senses and measures the aerodynamic forces and torques acting on the six degrees of freedom of the model. Wind tunnel balance technology involves balance materials, structural design analysis, processing and manufacturing technology, strain sensor technology, and balance calibration technology. Generally, balance calibration can be divided into static calibration and dynamic calibration. Static calibration is based on the balance calibration principle, using a balance calibration device, and following a certain calibration method to establish the relationship between the balance measurement signal and the aerodynamic load, that is, the process of obtaining the balance formula and other performance parameters of the balance. Dynamic calibration is the process of further verifying the performance of the balance in a wind tunnel using a standard model based on static calibration. Since wind tunnel balance calibration determines the efficiency of balance calibration and the accuracy of the balance formula, and is related to the accuracy of the model aerodynamic data measurement in the future application of the balance, balance calibration is considered to be the most important link in the balance design process.

[0004] Since the 1940s, wind tunnel balance calibration has developed from the use of a single-component manually loaded balance calibration table to a six-component automatic balance calibration machine, gradually forming the hardware devices and logical methods commonly used in wind tunnel balance calibration today. In order to meet the higher requirements for the refinement of wind tunnel tests in the development of high-performance aerospace vehicles, with the development of science and technology, foreign countries have had new understandings and developments in wind tunnel balance calibration technology. Not so, since the 1940s, wind tunnel balance calibration has developed from the use of a single-component manually loaded balance calibration table to a six-component automatic balance calibration machine, gradually forming the hardware devices and logical methods commonly used in wind tunnel balance calibration today. In order to meet the higher requirements for the refinement of wind tunnel tests in the development of high-performance aerospace vehicles, with the development of science and technology, foreign countries have had new understandings and developments in wind tunnel balance calibration technology.

[0005] The wind tunnel balance is an important device for wind tunnel force measurement test. The balance needs to be statically calibrated before use to obtain the balance calibration formula. During the wind tunnel test, the balance signal output is substituted into the balance calibration formula to solve the force. The static calibration of the balance is divided into two types: earth axis calibration and body axis calibration. The earth axis calibration is relatively simple and does not consider the slight deformation of the balance during the loading process. The body axis calibration assumes that the slight deformation of the balance during the loading process cannot be ignored, and the actual position and posture of the balance needs to be measured in real time and fed back to the reset system. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the measurement accuracy and real-time performance of the positioning device during the calibration process to improve the balance calibration index.

[0096] The invention provides a high-precision optical positioning system for a wind tunnel balance. The high-precision optical positioning system for a wind tunnel balance is mainly composed of four parts: a support system, a sliding system, a measuring system, and a balance system, which work together to achieve measurement of tiny deformations during balance calibration.

[0097] The support system is mainly composed of two parts: the mounting plate and the support frame. Its main function is to support the sliding system and the measuring system. The mounting plate is connected to the pre-buried independent foundation to ensure the overall stability of the system and reduce interference from external factors. The support frame is welded from steel sections and has great rigidity to prevent large deformation during system operation.

[0098] The sliding system is mainly composed of slide plates, slide rails, blocks, etc. It is divided into two levels, including primary slide plates and secondary slide plates, primary slide rails and secondary slide rails, primary blocks and secondary blocks. The primary level provides the sliding freedom in the Z direction of the balance coordinate system, and the secondary level provides the sliding freedom in the X direction of the balance coordinate system. Its main function is to support the translational displacement of the measurement system in the X and Z coordinate directions, so that the measurement system and the balance system maintain an ideal measurement distance.

[0099] The measurement system is mainly composed of: laser controller, connection seat, support arm, T-beam and laser measuring device, etc. Its main function is to use the laser measuring device to measure the real-time position change of the balance system, process the signal through the laser controller and transmit it to the host computer, and the host computer controls the balance posture change to ensure that the balance posture always remains fixed. The T-beam can rotate 180° around the root axis, and the support arm can rotate 360° around the connection seat.

The laser displacement meter and the laser connecting rod are adjusted in three degrees of freedom through two-stage adjusting rods A and B, which are the axial direction of the adjusting rod (fine adjustment) and two rotations around the axis (±90°). The laser displacement meter is installed on the rotating support plate, and the rotating support plate can rotate freely around the fixed support plate. The overall adjustment of the laser measuring device can achieve the most accurate measurement of the laser displacement meter.

[0101] There are six sets of laser measuring devices, which measure the displacement of the balance in the X direction (3 sets), Y direction (2 sets) and Z direction (1 set) of the coordinate system. The six sets of measurement values ​​are transmitted to the host computer and then solved by the reset system to realize the posture control of the balance.

[0102] The balance system mainly consists of a balance, a loading sleeve, a loading head and a laser reflector. The balance is connected to the loading head through the loading sleeve. The external load acts on the loading sleeve and is transmitted to the balance. The balance senses the external load and will produce a slight deformation, which in turn drives the loading head and the laser reflector to produce a slight deformation. The laser reflector is used to receive the laser irradiation and reflection of the laser displacement meter, and acts as a target, transmitting the posture change of the balance to the measurement system, and then to the host computer for reset control.
