[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of helicopter flight test load test patch modification, and particularly relates to a decoupling patch method for helicopter main rotor blade airfoil section flutter load test. BACKGROUND
[0002] The helicopter has the characteristics of vertical take-off and landing and strong maneuverability, and is extremely suitable for flight working conditions such as low altitude, low speed and fixed point operation. At present, the helicopter has been widely used in ground reconnaissance / attack, surprise landing, weapon delivery, short-distance transportation of logistics support guarantee, medical rescue, disaster relief and lifesaving, geological exploration, equipment hoisting and forest protection and fire extinguishing. The main rotor system is the only source of lift of the helicopter and is one of the most important system components of the helicopter. In the flight state, the flapping motion, flutter motion and torsional motion of the main rotor blade are important forms of representation of the motion characteristics of the main rotor system. Therefore, in the process of developing the helicopter, the main rotor blade flapping, flutter and torsional load under various real working conditions must be obtained through flight test, which is used for helicopter rotor system dynamics analysis, strength design and life evaluation.
[0003] The helicopter main rotor blade load measurement is a key test technology for helicopter load test flight, and how to quickly complete the patching, decoupling and calibration of the main rotor blade test piece is particularly important for helicopter main rotor system flight load test. At present, the main rotor blade airfoil section flutter measurement decoupling work is mainly completed by sticking a large number of strain gauges on the main rotor blade in a uniform manner, and the appropriate strain gauge sticking position is determined by decoupling measurement selection. However, this method needs to stick a large number of strain gauges, occupies human resources and has low comprehensive efficiency. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to solve the problems of needing to stick a large number of strain gauges, occupying human resources and low comprehensive efficiency in decoupling patching in the related art, the application provides a main rotor blade airfoil section flutter load measurement decoupling patching method for helicopter main rotor blade airfoil section flutter load measurement decoupling patching, provides patching guidance for helicopter main rotor blade airfoil section flutter load measurement test modification, and improves the comprehensive efficiency of helicopter main rotor blade load test patch modification. The technical solution is as follows:
[0005] In the first aspect, a main rotor blade airfoil section flutter load test decoupling patching method is provided, and the method comprises the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: According to the helicopter main rotor blade airfoil section flutter measurement requirement, the profile position of the flutter load measurement is obtained;
[0007] Step 2: Stick a strain gauge R1 on the upper surface of the main rotor blade at a certain distance from the leading edge of the main rotor blade;
[0008] Step three: paste a strain gauge R2 on the lower surface of the main blade at a certain distance from the leading edge of the main blade;
[0009] Step four: paste a strain gauge R3 on the lower surface of the main blade at a certain distance from the trailing edge of the main blade;
[0010] Step five: measure the vertical distances L1, L2, L3 from the strain gauges R1, R2, R3 to the chord line of the main blade of the helicopter, respectively, from the profile of the oscillation measurement surface of the main blade of the helicopter in the digital model, and the chord line of the main blade of the helicopter is the line connecting the frontmost end of the leading edge and the rearmost end of the trailing edge of the main blade of the helicopter;
[0011] Step six: select a suitable position on the upper surface of the trailing edge of the main blade of the helicopter such that the distance L4 from the chord line is L1+L3-L2, and paste a strain gauge R5 at the center of the position;
[0012] Step seven: paste a strain gauge R4 and a strain gauge R6 at a certain distance to the left and right of the strain gauge R5, respectively;
[0013] Step eight: install the main blade of the helicopter on the calibration platform, and measure the flap response outputs ΔR1, ΔR2, ΔR3, ΔR4, ΔR5, ΔR6 of the strain gauges R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 under flap loading on the profile;
[0014] Step nine: under the same flap loading, calculate the strain relationships of ΔR1, ΔR2, ΔR3, ΔR4, ΔR5, ΔR6 such that ΔR=ΔR1+ΔR3-ΔR2-ΔRC,
[0015] wherein ΔRC is ΔR4, ΔR5, ΔR6, and three ΔRs are obtained in the step nine;
[0016] Step ten: when one of the ΔRs is less than ±100 micro-strains, it is determined that the decoupling is successful.
[0017] Further, the method further comprises:
[0018] Step eleven: when the three ΔRs are not less than ±100 micro-strains, according to the true value of each ΔR, a strain gauge RX is additionally pasted for supplementary decoupling; steps eight, nine, and ten are repeated, and if the ΔR corresponding to the strain gauge RX is less than ±100 micro-strains, the decoupling is successful.
[0019] Further, the method further comprises:
[0020] Step twelve: if the added RX still cannot make the ΔR corresponding thereto less than ±100 micro-strains, the strain gauge pasting rule in step eleven is continued to be followed, and the strain gauge is continued to be pasted until the decoupling is successful.
[0021] The present application carries out graphical processing on the main blade airfoil section of the helicopter, and the connecting line of the blade leading edge and trailing edge is approximated as the rigidity center surface of the blade. The strain response of different patch positions on the blade surface is approximately proportional to the distance from the rigidity center surface.

Compared with the traditional method, the number of strain patches can be greatly reduced, the strain patch material cost is reduced, the human resources are saved, and the work efficiency of the helicopter main blade load patch test modification is effectively improved.
[0022] In the step eleven, the rule for supplementally pasting the strain patch is that when ΔR is greater than 100 micro-strain, RX is pasted at a certain distance from the strain patch R6 towards the trailing edge of the main blade; and when ΔR is less than -100 micro-strain, RX is pasted at a certain distance from the strain patch R4 towards the leading edge of the main blade.
[0023] In the step two, the distance between the strain patch pasting position and the ironed edge is 20-40 mm.
[0024] In the step three, the distance between the strain patch pasting position and the ironed edge is 20-40 mm.
[0025] In the step four, the distance between the strain patch pasting position and the trailing edge of the main blade is 40-60 mm.
[0026] In the step seven, a strain patch R4 is pasted at the left 20-30 mm of the strain patch R5; and a strain patch R6 is pasted at the right 20-30 mm of the strain patch R5.
[0027] In the step eleven, when the strain patch RX is pasted, the flap loading response R4, R5, R6 of the strain patches R4, R5, R6 and the distance L from the strain patches R4, R5, R6 to the trailing edge of the main blade are subjected to second-order polynomial fitting as the theoretical value of the flap response of the supplementally pasted strain patch, so as to determine the compensation strain patch pasting position.
[0028] The present application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0029] The present application can be used as a guide for the decoupling patch work of the main blade flutter measurement of the helicopter flight test. Compared with the traditional method, the number of strain patches can be greatly reduced, the strain patch material cost is reduced, the human resources are saved, and the work efficiency of the helicopter main blade load patch test modification is effectively improved.
