Description

Technical Field

[0002] Multi-rotor aircraft have the ability to take off and land vertically and fly forward at high speed, especially tilt-rotor aircraft, which are more reliable and have broad application prospects in the military and civilian fields. With the rapid development of radar technology used to detect and identify tilt-rotor aircraft targets on the battlefield, higher requirements are placed on the stealth performance of tilt-rotor aircraft. An important indicator for measuring the stealth capability of tilt-rotor aircraft is the Radar Cross Section (RCS). The larger the RCS, the worse the stealth capability. When developing a tilt-rotor aircraft, it is necessary to consider the radar stealth design of the aircraft. The tilt-rotor is an important radar scattering source in the aircraft, and the radar target characteristics of the tilt-rotor need to be tested in detail.

[0003] In order to reduce the test cost, the RCS test is usually carried out on the scaled model of the target in a microwave darkroom environment. Since the tilt-rotors on the left and right sides of the aircraft are symmetrical, one side of the rotor can be selected as the research object for the test. At present, most microwave darkrooms use single-rotor or coaxial dual-rotor (no tilt) platforms for testing. The tilt-rotor system has a complex structure and is equipped with a tilt structure of the rotor. It is difficult to consider these factors at the same time in a microwave darkroom laboratory.

It can simulate different flight postures and angles of the rotor, so as to more comprehensively test the RCS characteristics of the rotorcraft under various actual flight conditions; based on the various complex posture changes and dynamic processes that the rotorcraft will experience in actual flight, the tilt function can better simulate these real flight states, so as to obtain RCS data that is closer to the actual situation, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results and provide a more valuable reference for the design and improvement of the aircraft; it can better simulate the tilt transition state of the tilt-rotor aircraft, so that the test results fit the actual situation.

[0018] Furthermore, a driving motor and a steel wire rope are used, which can pull the output sleeve to rotate around the first axis, thereby changing the tilting angle; and in combination with a counterweight block, the counterweight block can reversely limit the rotation of the output sleeve around the first axis; the two work together to achieve a stable change in the tilting angle of the output sleeve.

[0019] Furthermore, the setting of the limiting cutout can achieve the function of limiting the rotation of the output sleeve and the input sleeve at a 90° position, thereby ensuring the maximum position of the rotor tilt.

[0020] Furthermore, the front rotor can be installed on the fixed-position rotor mounting mechanism, and the rear rotor can be installed on the rotor mounting mechanism on the output end of the moving mechanism. The output end of the moving mechanism can drive the rear rotor to move in position, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the distance between the two rotors. The rotor mounting mechanism used to install the front rotor can be used alone to simulate the dynamic tilting of a single rotor in an RCS test; and the use of two rotor mounting mechanism structures can simulate the dynamic tilting of dual rotors. Since there are more and more design schemes for tilt-rotor aircraft, the function of adjusting the distance between the two rotors can take into account the mechanical factors of the rotor distance during the RCS test, and there is no need to make benches with different distances multiple times, thereby reducing costs.

[0021] Furthermore, the moving mechanism adopts a first direction moving component and a second direction moving component, each of which realizes position movement in two mutually perpendicular directions, so as to realize precise adjustment of the distance between the two rotor assemblies.

[0022] Furthermore, the setting of the base can make the installation height of the front rotor consistent with the installation height of the rear rotor, so that it can be tested more in line with the actual installation effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the input transmission shaft and the output rotating shaft are connected to the corresponding input sleeve and the output sleeve through the corresponding first bearing and the second bearing respectively, which can realize the stable rotation of the input transmission shaft and the output transmission shaft and ensure the transmission effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the slide blocks on the two second side slide rails on the second direction fixing frame are fixed together with the mounting platform plate, so that the mounting platform plate can stably move along the axial direction of the second direction rotating screw rod.

[0026] Furthermore, the provision of the second ring enables the steel wire rope to pull the output sleeve more stably, thereby ensuring its stable rotation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0070] Among them, about other related settings description:

[0071] Specifically, the base 50 and the first direction fixing frame 21 of the moving mechanism are both used to be fixed on the ground, and the central axis of the base 50 for front rotor installation and the axis of the first direction rotating screw 22 corresponding to the rear rotor installation are located on the same plane.

[0072] Specifically, the RCS test of a single tilt-rotor, such as Fig.10 As shown, it is installed on the base 50. Since the output sleeve 112 is provided with a counterweight 115, when the wire rope 114 is loose, the rotor can be tilted to a 90° position under the action of the counterweight 115. When the steel wire rope 114 is stretched, the output sleeve 112 is tilted upward under the tension of the steel wire rope 114 until the central axis of the rotor is in a vertical state, the driving motor 113 is reversed, the tension of the steel wire rope 114 is reduced, the tension on the output sleeve 112 is reduced, and the rotor is tilted downward until the central axis of the rotor is flush with the ground.

[0073] Specifically, the RCS test of the tilting twin rotor, such as Fig.11As shown, a moving mechanism is added on the basis of the RCS test of a single tilt-rotor, and the front, rear, left, and right spacing of the mounting platform plate 40 is adjusted according to the ratio of the scaled model; the second direction rotating screw 32 is driven to rotate by the second direction driver (such as a motor), driving the second direction screw nut 33 to move left and right, which drives the movement of the mounting platform plate 40, and the moving distance L is: L = P*N (P is the screw pitch, N is the number of motor rotations). Similarly, after the first direction rotating screw 22 is driven, it drives the second direction fixing frame 31 to move forward and backward, control the front and rear spacing of the two rotors, and determine the spacing of the rotors for RCS testing. The tilting operation of the dual rotor is consistent with that of a single rotor, and the spacing after scaling is: R / r = D / d (the actual size radius of the rotor is R, the radius of the scaled model rotor is r, the actual spacing of the dual rotors is D, and the spacing after scaling is d).

The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
