[0088] Furthermore, in this exemplary embodiment, an identification test method is also provided to verify the above-mentioned redundant primary flight control equivalent system. Figure 3 As shown in , the identification test method includes:

[0089] Step S101: setting an initialization scene so that the redundant main flight control equivalent system starts in the air;

[0090] Step S102: the redundant main flight control equivalent system receives the external test signal, and performs equivalent wrapping processing on the external test signal to obtain a signal to be verified;

[0091] Step S103: performing system redundancy signal integrity confirmation on the signal to be verified;

[0092] Step S104: The signal to be verified is solved and processed by the redundant main flight control equivalent system to obtain the control instruction to be verified, and confirm whether the control instruction to be verified is correct.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, on the one hand, by first performing an initialization scene setting, and in the initialization scene setting, the redundant main flight control equivalent system is started in the air, so that the redundant main flight control equivalent system will determine that the aircraft is in the air according to the initialization scene setting, and therefore no longer performs the power-on self-detection, that is, the channel numbers of the control machine 100 and the auxiliary control module 220 are no longer detected and the validity is checked, which effectively avoids the channel number conflict problem of electronic equipment caused by the ground power-on initialization process; on the other hand, the system redundancy signal integrity is confirmed by confirming the signal to be verified after the equivalent wrapping processing of the redundant main flight control equivalent system to verify whether the redundancy signal of the equivalent system is complete, and the control instruction to be verified obtained by solving the redundant main flight control equivalent system is confirmed to identify whether the control function of the equivalent system is complete.

[0094] Next, the above-mentioned identification test method in this exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail.

[0095] Before discussing the identification test method provided in this embodiment, the necessity of the identification test method is first explained. Civil aircraft are required to carry out compliance tests for transport aircraft airworthiness standards. The identification test is an equipment identification test that indicates the qualification of the equipment. When indicating the working characteristics of airborne equipment in extreme environments such as electromagnetic environment and lightning, it must be carried out in a system environment. Component-level tests cannot reflect the load-carrying operating characteristics of each device, and cannot verify the degree to which cross-linked equipment can withstand mutual interference. The redundant main flight control equivalent system provided in this application is used as the test object to carry out equipment identification tests to verify the equipment qualification of the redundant main flight control equivalent system.

[0096] In one embodiment, before the redundant primary flight control equivalent system receives the external test signal, the following steps are further included:

[0097] Simulate external test signals, which include cockpit signals and sensor signals.

[0098] The above-mentioned step of simulating external test signals can ensure the normal operation of the redundant main flight control equivalent system. In this embodiment, a simulation device is used to simulate external test signals, wherein cockpit signals may include but are not limited to cockpit signals such as rods, plates, and pedals, and sensor acquisition signals may include but are not limited to sensor signals such as atmosphere, inertial navigation, and heading attitude.

[0099] In one embodiment, the redundant main flight control equivalent system receives an external test signal, and performs equivalent wrapping processing on the external test signal to obtain a signal to be verified, including the following steps:

[0100] Step S1021: the control machine 100 and the auxiliary control module 220 receive an external test signal;

[0101] Step S1022: the control machine 100 and the auxiliary control module 220 respectively rewind the external test signal and transmit it to the flight control module 210;

[0102] Step S1023: the flight control module 210 self-rewinds the external test signal to obtain multiple channels of signals to be verified.

[0103] The above steps S1022 and S1023 are used to wrap the received external test signal to produce an equivalent test environment for the complete main flight control system; and the obtained signal to be verified is verified through subsequent steps S103 and S104, which proves that the redundant main flight control equivalent system can produce an equivalent test environment for the complete main flight control system.

[0104] In order to more clearly understand how to use the redundant main flight control equivalent system to wrap the external test signal to equivalently produce a test environment for a complete main flight control system, an embodiment is given below to illustrate the specific equivalent wrapping process in step S102.

[0105] The fifth channel interface 111 and the sixth channel interface 112 of the control machine 100 receive two cockpit signals, and the sixth channel interface 112 of the control machine 100 transmits one of the cockpit signals to the seventh channel interface 214 of the flight control module 210 using the first line 300, and the fifth channel interface 111 of the control machine 100 transmits the other cockpit signal to the fourth channel interface 213 of the flight control module 210 using the second loop line 600; thus equivalently outputting the following Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first control machine and the second control machine are used to respectively receive corresponding cockpit signals, and respectively transmit the received cockpit signals to the test environment of the first flight control module and the second flight control module accordingly.

[0106] The second channel interface 221 and the eighth channel interface 222 of the auxiliary control module 220 receive two cockpit signals. The eighth channel interface 222 of the auxiliary control module 220 transmits one of the cockpit signals to the ninth channel interface 215 of the flight control module 210 using the second line 400, and the third channel interface 221 of the auxiliary control module 220 transmits the other cockpit signal to the second channel interface 212 of the flight control module 210 using the third loop line 700; thus equivalently outputting the following Figure 2As shown in the figure, the first auxiliary control module and the second auxiliary control module are used to respectively receive corresponding cockpit signals, and the cockpit signals received by each are correspondingly transmitted to the test environment of the first flight control module and the second flight control module.

[0107] Finally, the flight control module 210 uses the first channel interface 211 to self-rewind the received cockpit signal, that is, from the first sending channel interface of the first channel interface 211 to the first receiving channel interface via the first rewind line 500, 8 channels of signals to be verified can be obtained; thus equivalently outputting Figure 2 The test environment for cockpit signal transmission between the first flight control module and the second flight control module shown in FIG.

[0108] Specifically, the following Table 1 shows the test data of the complete main flight control system of the prior art during the system integrity check, and Table 2 shows the test data of the redundant main flight control equivalent system of the present application during the system integrity check, so as to verify that the redundant main flight control equivalent system proposed in the present application can be equivalent to the multi-channel signal that is the same as the complete main flight control system of the prior art and has no redundancy loss. It should be noted that capt_col_posn1_vld, capt_col_posn2_vld, capt_col_posn3_vld, and capt_col_posn4_vld in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively represent 4 main control stick signal inputs, and fo_col_posn1_vld, fo_col_posn2_vld, fo_col_posn3_vld, and fo_col_posn4_vld respectively represent 4 co-control stick signal inputs; when any control stick signal is lost, the system integrity check will declare the control stick signal as invalid, that is, 0-invalid is indicated at the position corresponding to the signal column capt_col_posnX_vld.

[0109] Table 1 Control stick signals of a complete set of primary flight control systems in the prior art

[0110]

[0111] Table 2 Control stick signals of the redundant primary flight control equivalent system of this application

[0112]

[0113] By comparing the data in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that the two are completely consistent, indicating that the redundant main flight control equivalent system proposed in this application has equivalently wound out 8 control stick signal inputs that are the same as the full set of main flight control systems in the prior art, including 4 main control stick signal inputs and 4 co-control stick signal inputs, and in the system integrity check, all of these 8 control stick signals are declared as 1-Valid, indicating that the control stick signals equivalently wound out by the redundant main flight control equivalent system of this application have no redundancy loss, and all control stick signals are valid. In this way, it can be confirmed that the system redundancy signal integrity in step S103 meets the requirements.

[0114] Specifically, in step S104, the flight control module 210 of the redundant primary flight control equivalent system solves the multiple signals to be verified obtained by the wraparound in step S1023 to verify whether the control instruction to be verified is correct. For example, when the cockpit stick position is at zero and the flight control system maintains the initialization scene, if the control instruction of the rudder surface solved by the flight control module 210 of the redundant primary flight control equivalent system is zero, and in this test scene, the control instruction of the rudder surface solved by the full set of primary flight control systems is also zero, then it is determined that the control instruction to be verified is correct, otherwise the control instruction to be verified is wrong.

[0115] Specifically, the following Table 3 shows a complete set of main flight control system control instructions of the prior art, and Table 4 shows the redundant main flight control equivalent system control instructions of the present application.

[0116] Table 3 Control instructions of a complete set of main flight control systems in the prior art

[0117]

[0118] Table 4 Control instructions of the redundant main flight control equivalent system of this application

[0119]

[0120] It can be seen from Tables 3 and 4 above that, taking the left outer elevator actuator control command, the right outer aileron actuator control command, the upper rudder actuator control command, the left inner spoiler actuator control command, the right inner spoiler actuator control command, the right outer elevator actuator control command and the left outer aileron actuator control command as examples, the control command obtained by the redundant main flight control equivalent system of the present application for solving the multiple signals to be verified is basically consistent with the control command obtained by the full set of main flight control systems in the prior art for solving the multiple actuator signals, and the error is within ±2. It can be considered that the redundant main flight control equivalent system of the present application is basically consistent with the full set of main flight control systems in the prior art.

[0121] The above step S104 verifies that the control instruction to be verified is correct, which indicates that the redundant main flight control equivalent system realizes the same working mode as the full set of main flight control systems, and the redundant main flight control equivalent system has the same working characteristics as the full set of main flight control systems. On the one hand, the system input signal is complete, especially the redundant external sensor signal collected by the system, and there is no loss of redundancy and failure in the equivalent system; on the other hand, the system control function is complete, including the system working mode, system working state or system control instruction, which are completely consistent with the full set of main flight control systems, without control logic errors and reduction of control performance.

[0122] In one embodiment, the redundant main flight control equivalent system receives an external test signal, performs wraparound processing on the external test signal, and after obtaining a signal to be verified, further comprises the following steps:

[0123] The flight control module 210 monitors the signal to be verified;

[0124] Check whether the signal to be verified has any fault.

[0125] The flight control module 210 can use its built-in monitor to monitor multiple channels of to-be-verified signals in the flight control module 210 in real time, and perform fault diagnosis on the to-be-verified signals. For example, the effectiveness of the redundant main flight control equivalent system can be further identified by detecting whether there is a latch fault in the to-be-verified signals. Of course, other types of fault diagnosis can also be performed on the monitored to-be-verified signals according to different identification test requirements.

[0126] It should be explained that a latching fault generally refers to a fault in the system where the system cannot work normally due to some reason and enters a locked state.

[0127] It should be noted that the redundant main flight control equivalent system is identified by the identification test method provided in this embodiment, and the redundant main flight control equivalent system that meets the identification standards such as system redundancy signal integrity, complete system control function and fault-free monitoring can be used for formal testing. The formal test process can be explained by the following simple example: first, an external interference signal, such as an electromagnetic interference signal or a lightning interference signal, is applied to the redundant main flight control equivalent system; then, the output signal after the redundancy main flight control equivalent system is wrapped and resolved is collected, and a jitter judgment is performed on the output signal; the anti-disturbance capability of the airborne equipment is confirmed by the jitter judgment. Of course, other aspects of the output signal of the redundant main flight control equivalent system can also be judged to characterize other performances of the airborne equipment.

The present application is intended to cover any modification, use or adaptation of the present application, which follows the general principles of the present application and includes common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present application.
