Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of UAV structural technology prediction in the machinery industry, and in particular to a method, system, equipment, medium and product for predicting the service life of a blade structure. Background Art

[0002] Drone technology has become an important part of contemporary science and technology. In recent years, the rapid development of drone technology and the continuous expansion of its application areas have brought many conveniences and new development opportunities to society. As a representative of emerging industries, the drone industry has shown broad prospects. Especially in the field of firefighting, drones have been widely used as an innovative industrial technology. Many firefighting agencies in China have successfully used drones to conduct fire scene reconnaissance and monitoring, as well as to deliver rescue supplies, and have achieved remarkable results.

[0003] Drone propeller blades are important components for drone flight. They generate lift and thrust through rotation, allowing drones to take off, hover and fly. Blade materials are usually high-strength materials that are lightweight and durable. During service, drone propeller blades are subject to inertial forces caused by the high-speed rotation of the blades, which places strict requirements on the structural strength and service life of the blades.

[0004] When firefighting drones are engaged in firefighting operations, the ambient temperature changes, causing the drone propeller blades to not only bear the inertial force, but also the stable load (creep damage) caused by long-term high-temperature operation, causing the blades as a whole to bear a time-related complex load. These conditions will cause the material to deteriorate and be damaged as the service time increases, and gradually reduce the stability and safety of the equipment operation. Therefore, it is very important to accurately and quickly predict the service life of drone propeller blades.

[0005] At present, the commonly used service life prediction methods for blade structures are mainly the experimental measurement method of blade service life (i.e., the experimental method) and the finite element simulation calculation method (i.e., the CAE simulation calculation method) in computer-aided engineering (CAE) for blade structures. Among them, the experimental method applies a constant load through a mechanical testing machine and provides a high temperature environment through a high temperature environment box to simulate the working load and environment of the propeller blade of a drone, so that the blade structure is in a high temperature creep stress state. Usually, the experiment lasts for several months to measure the service life of the blade structure, and the measurement efficiency is low. The CAE simulation calculation method involves a lot of algorithm programming and computational mechanics knowledge, which requires extremely high knowledge reserves and scientific research levels of engineers, and usually takes a long time for CAE calculations of large structures. In summary, the two commonly used methods currently have high requirements for personnel, facilities, time and money, and are time-consuming to implement, with high human and financial costs. Summary of the invention

[0033] Step 104: predicting the service life of the blade structure to be tested under the current load using the relationship between stress relaxation and damage constructed based on the material parameters.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, first, as Figure 2 As shown, a tensile test is performed on the blade structure to obtain the maximum load that the blade structure can withstand. ; “×” is the maximum load of the test piece (i.e. the blade structure to be tested) in the tensile test The corresponding points.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, step 103 may be replaced by step 201 - step 202 .

[0040] Step 201: constructing an irrecoverable displacement rate expression in the blade structure to be measured according to the current load of the blade structure to be measured, the maximum load and the material parameters.

[0041] Furthermore, the expression for the irrecoverable displacement rate of the blade structure is as follows.

[0042] (3)

[0043] in, is the blade deformation proportional coefficient, It is dimensionless and has no units; is the time-dependent index, It is dimensionless and has no units.

[0044] Step 202: Fitting the logarithmic form of the irrecoverable displacement rate expression to the stress relaxation experimental data to generate the numerical value of the material parameter; the material parameter includes the blade deformation proportional coefficient.

[0045] Furthermore, taking the logarithm of both sides of formula (3) yields:

[0046] (4)

[0047] By fitting formula (4) with the relaxation experimental data, we can obtain Z and nThe specific value of .

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, step 104 specifically includes: introducing the service life of the blade structure to be measured, integrating the relationship between the stress relaxation and damage, and predicting the service life of the blade structure to be measured under the current load.

[0058] The core idea of ​​this application is to calculate the relationship between plastic deformation rate and load (i.e., irreversible displacement rate expression) through stress relaxation test data, and then combine the relationship between stress relaxation and damage to derive the service life of the blade structure. The stress relaxation experiment used in this application actually involves the stress relaxation test data of the blade structure in the service environment, so the predicted service life is more accurate and reliable, and the experimental cost is controllable and can be completely determined by the implementing unit or individual.

[0059] Taking the propeller blade structure of a drone as an example, this application conducts a tensile test on the blade structure to determine the maximum load that the blade structure can bear. Then, the stress relaxation experiment of the propeller blade structure of the UAV was carried out, and the stress relaxation experimental data was fitted to determine Z and n Finally, the service life of the blade structure is calculated using the relationship between stress relaxation and damage to achieve the purpose of predicting the service life of the blade structure.

It does not require large-scale long-term CAE and theoretical calculations, and the experimental parameters required to be determined in the process are few and accurate. This application uses a short stress relaxation experiment, which is simple and easy to implement. It only needs to determine three experimental parameters (i.e., maximum load , time-dependent index and the damage index of the blade structure ) can achieve the purpose of quickly predicting the service life of the UAV propeller blade structure.
