[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an aircraft engine starting torque measuring device of the present invention comprises: The power take-off shaft 1 is installed between the aircraft accessory casing and the engine accessory casing, and comprises a rotating part transmission shaft 3 and a stationary part protection cover 2 which is arranged on the rotating part transmission shaft 3; the power take-off shaft 1 is a part of the aircraft accessory transmission system, is a flexible transmission shaft, and can transmit the engine power and compensate for the misalignment and misalignment between the aircraft and the engine during the operation of the aircraft; A sensor module 4 is installed on the rotating member transmission shaft 3 and is used to obtain a torque signal of the rotating member transmission shaft 3; A channel signal acquisition and transmission module 50 is installed on the rotating member transmission shaft 3 and connected to the sensor module 4, and is used to receive and process the torque signal and then transmit a radio frequency signal; A receiving antenna 8, connected to the channel signal acquisition and transmission module 50, for receiving the radio frequency signal; A signal receiver 11 is connected to the receiving antenna 8 and the airborne power supply 13 respectively, and the signal receiver 11 is used to convert the DC power of the airborne power supply 13 into low-voltage DC power; and is used to receive the radio frequency signal transmitted from the receiving antenna 8, demodulate and convert it into a voltage signal, and then output it to the airborne data acquisition system 12; A conversion power supply box 10, used for converting the low voltage direct current into alternating current; The induction power supply module comprises an induction power supply receiving coil 9 and an induction power supply exciting coil 7, wherein the induction power supply exciting coil 7 is used to form a magnetic field from the alternating current, and the induction power supply receiving coil 9 receives the magnetic field and forms an alternating voltage source through electromagnetic induction; The channel signal acquisition and transmission module 50 is also connected to the induction power receiving coil 9, and converts the AC voltage source to power the sensor module 4; The induction power receiving coil 9 is installed on the rotating member transmission shaft 3; The induction power excitation coil 7 and the receiving antenna 8 are installed on the stationary part protection cover 2 .
[0034] Through the above settings, the induction power excitation coil 7 can form a magnetic field with the alternating current transmitted by the conversion power box 10, and power the induction power receiving coil 9 through electromagnetic induction. The induction power receiving coil 9 receives the magnetic field and forms a power supply through electromagnetic induction. Through the above induction power supply method, the energy on the stationary part can be transferred to the rotating part, and the sensor module 4 on the transmission shaft 3 of the rotating part can be powered contactlessly, ensuring that the measurement is carried out normally in the actual flight and installation state.
[0035] The torque measuring device can realize torque measurement when the aircraft is started on the ground and flying in the air, ensuring that the torque measurement task can be completed in the installed state.
[0036] Specifically, the stationary part protection cover 2 is positioned by pins and fixed by clamps, overlapped between the aircraft accessory casing and the outer shell of the engine accessory casing, and the rotating part transmission shaft 3 is connected to the extended shafts of the aircraft accessory casing and the engine accessory casing by connecting screws.
[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the sensor module 4 is responsible for directly measuring the torque on the transmission shaft and compensating for other interference factors such as temperature and bending. The sensor module 4 has two design margins. A single design margin includes a connected Wheatstone bridge and a self-compensation circuit. The Wheatstone bridge and the self-compensation circuit are pasted on the surface of the rotating part transmission shaft 3 and form a full-bridge structure in the form of a sheet group.
[0038] Specifically, the Wheatstone bridge includes a test resistor strain gauge (C1-C4) and a compensation strain gauge (T1-T4), and the self-compensation circuit includes a temperature compensation resistor (Rm1-Rm4), a normalization resistor (Rs1-Rs4), a zero point compensation resistor Rzb, and a zero point temperature drift compensation resistor Rzc.
[0039] Take one of the redundancies as an example, wherein the test resistance strain gauge C1 and the compensation strain gauge T1 are connected in series to form one branch of the bridge, and the test resistance strain gauge C3 and the compensation strain gauge T3 are connected in series to form another branch of the bridge.
[0040] The temperature compensation resistor Rm1 and the normalization resistor Rs1 are connected in series and are respectively connected between the test resistance strain gauge C1 and the compensation strain gauge T1 and the positive electrode of the power supply (B+); The temperature compensation resistor Rm3 and the normalization resistor Rs2 are connected in series and are respectively connected between the test resistance strain gauge C3 and the compensation strain gauge T3 and the negative pole of the power supply (B-); The test resistance strain gauge C1 and the compensation strain gauge T3 are connected to the signal positive electrode (S+); The zero compensation resistor Rzb is connected between the compensation strain gauge T1 and the signal negative electrode (S-); The zero temperature drift compensation resistor Rzc is connected between the test resistor strain C3 and the signal cathode (S-).
[0041] It can be understood that the test resistance strain gauge is pasted on the surface of the transmission shaft to detect the tiny deformation of the transmission shaft caused by torque, sense the torque changes on the transmission shaft in real time, and reflect the strain conditions on the shaft through resistance changes.
[0042] The compensation resistor strain gauge is used to compensate for signal errors caused by other environmental factors (such as temperature changes or mechanical stress). The compensation resistor strain gauge and the test resistor work together to eliminate unnecessary noise signals and ensure the purity and accuracy of the torque signal.
[0043] The temperature compensation resistor Rm is used to compensate for changes in the ambient temperature around the drive shaft to ensure that the measurement results will not be affected by temperature fluctuations; the standardization resistor Rs is used to ensure the standardization of the bridge output signal, reduce errors, improve measurement accuracy, and standardize the torque signal under different working conditions for subsequent signal processing; the zero point compensation resistor Rzb is used to compensate for the initial offset of the sensor to ensure that the measurement displays a zero signal in the no-torque state; the zero point temperature drift compensation resistor Rzc is used to compensate for the zero point drift problem caused by temperature changes to prevent the measurement reference point from drifting with changes in ambient temperature.
[0044] In addition, the entire sensor module 4 is covered with a layer of high temperature protective glue, which is used to protect the sensor module 4 from damage in a high temperature environment, especially when the engine is working, the ambient temperature around the transmission shaft will rise significantly. This protective layer ensures the reliability and long-term stability of the sensor under high temperature conditions.
[0045] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the channel signal acquisition and transmission module 50 includes a first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and a second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6. The first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and the second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6 both include an AC / DC conversion unit 61, a first DC / DC conversion unit 62, a signal amplification unit 63, a signal modulation unit 64 and a ring transmitting antenna 65; the first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and the second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6 are used to amplify the torque signal of the sensor module 4, and transmit the processed data to the receiving antenna 8 through a radio frequency signal. Each channel module has independent signal acquisition, processing and transmission functions to ensure the redundancy and stability of signal transmission.
[0046] The first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and the second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6 are respectively connected to a design redundancy in the sensor module 4 and the induction power receiving coil 9; The AC / DC conversion unit 61 is used to convert the AC voltage source obtained from the induction power receiving coil 9 into a DC voltage, and further adjust it to the required voltage level through the first DC / DC conversion unit 62; The signal amplifying unit 63 is used to receive and amplify the torque signal to obtain an amplified signal; The signal modulation unit 64 is used to modulate the amplified signal to obtain a modulated signal suitable for wireless transmission via radio frequency; reduce interference and attenuation in signal transmission; The annular transmitting antenna 65 is used to transmit the modulated signal to the receiving antenna 8 in the form of radio frequency; the annular antenna design can adapt to the complex environment of transmission shaft rotation and ensure stable signal transmission.
[0047] It should be noted that the first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and the second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6 share a conversion power box 10, and are each separately configured with a signal receiver 11. The conversion power box 10 is respectively connected to the signal receiver 11 and the induction power excitation coil 7, and includes a resonance unit, which can convert the low-voltage direct current transmitted from the signal receiver 11 into alternating current through the resonance unit, thereby providing an excitation signal for the induction power excitation coil 7.
[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the first channel signal acquisition and transmission module 5 and the second channel signal acquisition and transmission module 6 are both installed on the rotating member transmission shaft 3 through double epoxy resin and bundling fiber.
[0049] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 As shown, the signal receiver 11 includes an EMI filter unit 110 (EMI, electromagnetic interference), a second DC / DC conversion unit 120, a signal demodulation unit 130, a signal output unit 140, and a communication interface unit 150; The EMI filter unit 110 is used to perform electromagnetic interference filtering on the DC power supply (28V) from the onboard power supply 13; remove unnecessary noise and interference signals, ensure the purity of the power supply, and avoid interference with the signal reception and processing process; The second DC / DC conversion unit 120 converts the filtered DC power into the low-voltage DC power for use by the internal circuit of the signal receiver 11 and the conversion power box 10; The signal demodulation unit 130 is used to demodulate the radio frequency signal transmitted by the receiving antenna 8 and restore the modulated signal to the original torque signal; it can extract torque data from the wirelessly transmitted radio frequency signal to ensure data integrity; The signal output unit 140 is used to convert the demodulated signal into a (±10V) voltage signal, which facilitates data transmission and interface connection with the airborne data acquisition system 12. The communication interface unit 150 is interconnected with the airborne data acquisition system 12 for data transmission, so as to send the voltage signal to the airborne data acquisition system 12 .
[0050] It should be noted that the onboard power supply 13 (28V DC power supply) and the onboard data acquisition system 12 are both existing structures on the aircraft.
[0051] In one embodiment, the induction power receiving coil 9 is mounted on the rotating member transmission shaft 3 by means of dual epoxy resin and bundled fibers.
[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the inductive power excitation coil 7 and the receiving antenna 8 are both arc-shaped structures, specifically 140° arc-shaped, which can meet the inductive power supply strength and facilitate installation. The inductive power excitation coil 7 and the receiving antenna 8 are both provided with a shell made of polytetrafluoroethylene or nylon material, and the shell is connected to the stationary part protective cover 2 by screws. The receiving antenna 8 is installed on the stationary part and connected to the signal receiver 11 to ensure the stable transmission of torque data in the installed state.
[0053] It should be noted that the annular transmitting antenna 65 and the arc-shaped receiving antenna 8 can ensure stable signal transmission. Dual epoxy resin is a high-strength, chemically resistant adhesive material that can provide stable bonding and fixation for components such as the sensor module 4 and the inductive power receiving coil 9 in the high temperature and strong vibration environment of the aircraft engine. It helps to ensure that these key components do not shift or fall off during long-term use, ensuring the reliability and stability of the device. The bundling fiber further enhances the fixing effect. The bundling fiber (a high-strength material such as aramid fiber or glass fiber) has a high tensile strength and can effectively resist mechanical stress and prevent components from loosening due to high-speed rotation of the rotating drive shaft or external vibration.
[0054] In addition, double epoxy resin and bundled fiber are used to install it on the power take-off shaft, avoiding the use of bolts and other connecting structures. The total weight is no more than 150g, and does not affect the operating speed requirements of the existing transmission system.
[0055] In one embodiment, the conversion power box 10 is installed on a frame of an aircraft engine compartment 14 , and the signal receiver 11 is installed in a main weapon compartment 15 of the aircraft.
[0056] In one embodiment, the distance between the induction power excitation coil 7 and the induction power receiving coil 9 is 7-9 mm. Overall working process: The sensor module 4 is installed on the rotating part transmission shaft 3 to detect the slight deformation on the shaft in real time and generate a torque signal; The torque signal of the sensor is processed by the channel signal acquisition and transmission module 50, and the signal is amplified and transmitted to the receiving antenna 8 via radio frequency; The induction power supply excitation coil 7 generates a magnetic field, and the induction power supply receiving coil 9 receives the magnetic field and converts it into power to supply power to the sensor module 4; The signal receiver 11 receives the radio frequency signal through the receiving antenna 8, and after demodulation and conversion, outputs it as a voltage signal, which is transmitted to the airborne data acquisition system 12 for real-time analysis of the engine starting torque; The signals are stored and analyzed by the onboard data acquisition system 12, and the aircraft's control system can use them to evaluate engine performance and flight status.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
