Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rotorcraft, and in particular to a tiltrotor platform. Background Art
[0002] Multi-rotor aircraft have the ability to take off and land vertically and fly forward at high speeds, especially tilt-rotor aircraft, which are more reliable and have broad application prospects in 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 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 depth.
[0003] To reduce testing costs, RCS testing is typically performed on a scaled-down model of the target in a microwave anechoic chamber. Since the tilt-rotors on the left and right sides of an aircraft are symmetrically positioned, testing can focus on one rotor. Currently, most microwave anechoic chambers use single-rotor or coaxial dual-rotor (non-tilting) platforms for testing. However, the complex structure of tilt-rotor systems and the presence of rotor tilt mechanisms make it difficult to simultaneously account for these factors in a microwave anechoic chamber. Therefore, a tilt-rotor platform capable of supporting tilt functionality was designed to enable dynamic RCS testing of single and dual rotors. Summary of the Invention

It can simulate different flight attitudes and angles of the rotor, thereby enabling more comprehensive testing of the RCS characteristics of the rotorcraft under various actual flight conditions; based on the various complex attitude changes and dynamic processes that the rotorcraft will experience during actual flight, the tilt function can better simulate these real flight conditions, thereby obtaining 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 are in line with the actual situation.

[0025] Furthermore, the sliders 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 axis 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, ensuring its stable rotation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0051] By adopting a rotatable structure formed by an input sleeve 111 and an output sleeve 112, and cooperating with a rotating mechanism 12 for driving the rotation of the rotor formed by an input drive shaft 122, a universal joint assembly 123 and an output drive shaft 124, the tilt function of the rotor can be achieved. It can simulate different flight attitudes 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 attitude changes and dynamic processes that the rotorcraft will experience in actual flight, the tilt function can better simulate these real flight conditions, thereby obtaining 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 tiltrotor aircraft, so that the test results are in line with the actual situation.
[0052] The following is a description of the structure of the tilting mechanism 11:
[0053] Among the optional solutions of this embodiment, it is more preferred that Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the tilt actuator includes a drive motor 113 and a wire rope 114. A counterweight 115 is fixedly mounted on the output sleeve 112, located on the side of the first axis away from the traction portion 116. A first ring 117 is mounted on the input sleeve 111 at a position corresponding to the traction portion 116 of the output sleeve 112. One end of the wire rope 114 passes through the first ring 117 and is fixedly connected to the traction portion 116. The other end of the wire rope 114 is fixed to and wrapped around the output shaft of the drive motor 113. The drive motor 113 and wire rope 114 can pull the output sleeve 112 to rotate about the first axis, thereby changing the tilt angle. In combination with the counterweight 115, the counterweight 115 can reversely restrict the rotation of the output sleeve 112 about the first axis. Together, the two achieve stable changes in the tilt angle of the output sleeve 112.
[0054] Specifically, the traction portion 116 has the same structure as the first ring 117 .
[0055] Among the optional solutions of this embodiment, it is more preferred that Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, a second collar 118 is fixedly mounted on the end of the input sleeve 111 located near the drive motor 113. The end of the wire rope 114, located away from the traction portion 116, passes through the first collar 117 and the second collar 118 in sequence before being fixed and wound around the output shaft of the drive motor 113. The provision of the second collar 118 enables the wire rope 114 to more stably pull the output sleeve 112, ensuring its stable rotation.
[0056] Among them, the relevant structural description of the rotating mechanism 12 is as follows:

When limiting notches 119 of input sleeve 111 and output sleeve 112 align, the angle between the axis of input sleeve 111 and the axis of output sleeve 112 is 90°. Limiting notches 119 restrict rotation at a 90° angle between output sleeve 112 and input sleeve 111, ensuring the maximum rotor tilt position.
[0062] Specifically, the limiting cutout 119 has a 45° slope, ensuring that the rotation range of the input sleeve 111 and the output sleeve 112 is limited to 0° to 90°.

[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 the 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 Figure 10 As shown, it is mounted on a base 50. Since a counterweight 115 is provided on the output sleeve 112, when the wire rope 114 is loosened, the rotor can be tilted to a 90° position under the action of the counterweight 115. When the wire rope 114 is stretched, the output sleeve 112 tilts upward under the tension of the wire rope 114 until the rotor axis is vertical. The drive motor 113 then reverses, reducing the tension of the wire rope 114 and the tension on the output sleeve 112, causing the rotor to tilt downward until the rotor axis is flush with the ground.
[0073] Specifically, the RCS test of the tilting twin rotor, such as Figure 11As shown, a moving mechanism is added to the RCS test of a single tilt-rotor. The front-to-back, left-to-right, and left-to-right spacing of the mounting platform plate 40 is adjusted according to the scale of the scaled model. The second-direction rotating screw 32 is driven to rotate by a second-direction driver (e.g., a motor), driving the second-direction screw nut 33 to move left and right, which in turn drives the mounting platform plate 40. The movement 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, controlling the front-to-back spacing between the two rotors and determining the rotor spacing for RCS testing. The tilt operation of the dual rotor is consistent with that of a single rotor. The scaled spacing is: R / r = D / d (the actual rotor radius is R, the scaled model rotor radius is r, the actual spacing of the dual rotors is D, and the scaled spacing is d).

In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
