The testing device includes: a mounting frame, an upper support assembly, a lower support shaft, an azimuth axis system, a pitch axis system, an L-shaped adapter rod, an inertial navigation system, and a servo control system. Using the above technical solution, the mounting frame is fixed to a test vehicle. The test vehicle is started and driven to a preset Mach number. The inertial navigation system can acquire the attitude information of the UAV seeker head in real time, such as position, velocity, azimuth angle, pitch angle, and acceleration, and feed this attitude information back to the servo control system. The upper force measuring assembly can acquire the force data of the upper support assembly, and the lower force measuring assembly can acquire the force data of the lower support shaft, and feed this force data information back to the servo control system. During operation, the test vehicle is affected by natural conditions, and its actual speed may not be the preset Mach number. Similarly, the actual angle of attack and azimuth of the UAV seeker may not be the preset angle of attack or azimuth. The servo control system can control the pitch motor in real time based on the acquired attitude information to bring the UAV seeker's angle of attack as close as possible to the preset angle of attack. The servo control system can also control the azimuth motor to bring the UAV seeker's azimuth as close as possible to the preset azimuth, for example, 0°. This reduces the requirements for UAV seeker testing. Using the test device for UAV seeker drag testing proposed in this application, the test vehicle can acquire drag data of the UAV seeker under preset angle of attack and preset Mach number conditions even in a normal driving environment. This reduces the testing conditions and costs, and provides more continuous drag data under various operating conditions, thus providing guidance for the design of drag reduction schemes for UAV seekers.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.
[0040] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the relative positions of the corresponding components in the direction of gravity when they are in use, and "inner" and "outer" refer to their relative positions to the contours of the corresponding components themselves. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements.
[0041] Testing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) seekers requires stringent environmental conditions. Dedicated ground-based wind tunnel testing is expensive and difficult to meet, and flight conditions (angle of attack, Mach number) are limited and discrete. These factors restrict the optimization of UAV seeker shapes and the development of drag reduction technologies. There is an urgent need for a testing device with low requirements that can accurately measure the drag data of UAV seekers.
[0042] According to a first aspect of this application, a test apparatus is provided for testing the wind resistance of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) seeker head 1, with reference to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) seeker 1 includes a housing 101, and the housing 101 has a shaft hole 102 inside. The central axis of the shaft hole 102 passes through the center of gravity of the UAV seeker 1.
[0043] refer to Figures 3 to 7 The testing device includes: a mounting frame 2, an upper support assembly 3, a lower support shaft 5, an azimuth axis system 7, a pitch axis system 8, an L-shaped adapter rod 9, an inertial navigation system 10, and a servo control system.
[0044] Among them, reference Figure 2 The mounting bracket 2 has a lower fixing hole 201, a middle fixing hole 202 and an upper fixing hole 203 arranged coaxially from bottom to top; the upper support assembly 3 passes through the upper fixing hole 203 and includes an outer cylinder 301 and an inner shaft 302 disposed in the outer cylinder 301, with the upper end of the inner shaft 302 extending out of the upper end of the outer cylinder 301; an upper force measuring assembly 4 is disposed between the upper fixing hole 203 and the outer cylinder 301; the lower support shaft 5 passes through the lower fixing hole 201 and a lower force measuring assembly 6 is disposed between the lower fixing hole 201 and the lower support shaft 5.
[0045] refer to Figures 5 to 7 The azimuth axis system 7 has a first mounting cylinder 701, an azimuth motor 702 and a first output shaft 703. The central axis of the first mounting cylinder 701 and the central axis of the first output shaft 703 coincide. The first mounting cylinder 701 is fixedly connected to the central fixing hole 202. The lower end of the outer cylinder 301 and the upper end of the lower support shaft 5 are both fixedly connected to the first mounting cylinder 701. The lower end of the inner shaft 302 is connected to the first output shaft 703.
[0046] refer to Figures 4 to 6 The pitch axis system 8 has a second mounting cylinder 801, a pitch motor 802, and a second output shaft 803. The central axis of the second mounting cylinder 801 and the central axis of the second output shaft 803 coincide. The L-shaped adapter rod 9 includes a vertical rod portion 901 and a horizontal rod portion 902. The free end of the vertical rod portion 901 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner shaft 302, and the free end of the horizontal rod portion 902 is fixedly connected to the second mounting cylinder 801. The central axis of the second mounting cylinder 801 is horizontal.
[0047] refer to Figure 4 The inertial navigation system 10 is mounted on the second output shaft 803. The coordinate system of the inertial navigation system 10 follows the right-hand coordinate system principle. Specifically, the Z-axis of the inertial navigation system 10 coincides with the central axis of the second output shaft 803, and the X-axis coincides with the central axis of the crossbar 902. A servo control system is also included, with the orientation motor 702, the servo motor, the upper force measuring component 4, and the lower force measuring component 6 all electrically connected to the control system.
[0048] Using the above technical solution, the mounting bracket 2 is fixed on the test vehicle. Once the test vehicle is started and travels to a preset Mach number, the inertial navigation system 10 can acquire the attitude information of the UAV seeker head 1 in real time, such as position, velocity, azimuth, pitch angle, and acceleration, and feed this attitude information back to the servo control system. The upper force measuring component 4 can acquire the force data of the upper support component 3, and the lower force measuring component 6 can acquire the force data of the lower support shaft 5, and feed this force data information back to the servo control system. During travel, the test vehicle will be affected by natural conditions, and the actual travel speed may not be the preset Mach number. The actual angle of attack of the UAV seeker head 1 may also not be the preset angle of attack, and the actual azimuth angle may also not be the preset azimuth angle. The servo control system can control the pitch motor 802 in real time based on the acquired attitude information to make the angle of attack of the UAV seeker head 1 as close as possible to the preset angle of attack. The servo control system can also control the azimuth motor 702 to make the azimuth angle of the UAV seeker head 1 as close as possible to the preset azimuth angle, for example, 0°. This reduces the requirements for testing the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) seeker head 1. Using the test device for wind resistance testing of the UAV seeker head 1 as described in this application, the test vehicle can acquire drag data of the UAV seeker head 1 under preset angle of attack and preset Mach number conditions even in a normal driving environment. This reduces the testing conditions for the UAV seeker head 1, thereby reducing testing costs. Furthermore, the acquired drag data is more abundant and continuous, thus providing guidance for the drag reduction design of the UAV seeker head 1.
[0049] To reduce the frictional resistance between the outer cylinder 301 and the inner shaft 302, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 A bearing 11 is provided between the inner shaft 302 and the outer cylinder 301, and the bearing 11 is located at the upper end of the outer cylinder 301. In practice, a collar can be provided between the outer cylinder 301 and the inner shaft 302 according to actual needs, and the friction can be reduced by applying grease to the collar. This application does not limit this.
[0050] According to the embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The mounting frame 2 is a spatial cuboid frame, which has a lower field frame 204, a middle field frame 205 and an upper field frame 206 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The lower field frame 204 and the middle field frame 205 are connected by a connecting rod, and the middle field frame 205 and the upper field frame 206 are connected by a connecting rod. The lower fixing hole 201 is located at the center of the lower field frame 204; the middle fixing hole 202 is located at the center of the lower field frame 204; and the upper fixing hole 203 is located at the center of the lower field frame 204.
[0051] With this design, the mounting bracket 2 experiences less resistance when it is installed on the test vehicle, thus enabling the test vehicle to travel at a higher speed.
[0052] According to the embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 3 The upper force measuring component 4 includes four force sensors, which are evenly distributed circumferentially between the outer cylinder 301 and the upper fixing hole 203. One of the force sensors is in the same plane as the crossbar 902. The four force sensors can measure the force on the outer cylinder 301 in four directions, thereby providing a basis for calculating the drag characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker 1.
[0053] Similarly, the lower force-measuring assembly 6 includes four force sensors, which are evenly distributed circumferentially between the lower support shaft 5 and the lower fixing hole 201. One of the force sensors is in the same plane as the crossbar 902. The four force sensors can measure the forces acting on the outer cylinder 301 in four directions, thus providing a basis for calculating the drag characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker 1.
[0054] According to an embodiment of this application, the inertial navigation system 10 includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer.
[0055] According to the second aspect of this application, reference to Figure 9 A test method for a test apparatus used for wind resistance testing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) seeker head is provided. The test apparatus is applied to the aforementioned test apparatus, and the test method includes:
[0056] Step 1: Install the inertial navigation system 10 to the first output shaft 703, and then install the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker head 1 to the first output shaft 703;
[0057] Step 2: Fix the mounting bracket 2 on the test vehicle, so that the pitch and azimuth angles of the UAV seeker head 1 are at zero and the electric lock is engaged, and the upper force measuring component 4 and the lower force measuring component 6 are at zero.
[0058] Step 3: Start the test vehicle and accelerate to the set Mach number. The servo control system controls the pitch motor 802 to keep the pitch angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker 1 near the set angle of attack, and the deviation between the actual angle of attack and the set angle of attack is ±0.1°.
[0059] The servo control system controls the azimuth motor 702 to keep the azimuth angle of the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker 1 near 0°, and the deviation between the actual azimuth angle and the azimuth angle of 0° is ±0.1°.
[0060] The inertial navigation system 10 acquires the position, Mach number, azimuth angle, pitch angle, and acceleration of the seeker head in real time.
[0061] The force sensor collects the upper force data of the upper force measuring component 4 and the lower force data of the lower force measuring component 6 in real time;
[0062] Step 4: Use data analysis software to unify the position, velocity, azimuth, pitch, acceleration, upper force data and lower force data over time. Select the position, velocity, azimuth, pitch, acceleration, upper force data and lower force data of the corresponding time period that simultaneously meets the requirements of the set angle of attack and the set Mach number, and fit and calculate to obtain the first set of drag data of the UAV seeker 1.
[0063] Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the same set angle of attack and set Mach number to obtain the second set of drag data for the unmanned aerial vehicle seeker 1.
[0064] Step 6: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the same set angle of attack and set Mach number to obtain the third set of drag data for the seeker.
[0065] Step 7: Perform mean and variance statistics on the first, second, and third resistance data sets.
[0066] In practice, the more resistance data samples there are, the more accurate the results will be, and the closer the obtained resistance data will be to the true value. The tester can decide the number of tests based on the actual situation, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0067] Optionally, between steps 2 and 3, a self-test of the servo control system, the inertial navigation system 10, the upper force measuring component 4, and the lower force measuring component 6 may be included. This self-test procedure can reduce the error of the testing device itself.
