Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of scramjet engine control, and more specifically, relates to a scramjet engine ground test measurement and control system with full authority digital electronic control technology as its core. Background Art
[0002] As a power device for hypersonic vehicles, scramjet engines have the characteristics of high specific impulse under flight conditions above Mach 6, which has obvious advantages over other power cycles. Therefore, scramjet engines have become one of the core technologies of hypersonic vehicles, and the research on various mechanisms and application technologies of scramjet engines has become a hot topic in recent years.
[0003] The measurement and control system of the scramjet engine is an important link in the process of the scramjet engine's transition from early theoretical research to engineering application. It is the brain, nerves and perception system of the scramjet engine. It mainly realizes the engine's real-time control, status monitoring, fault handling and communication functions, ensuring the engine's stable and reliable operation under external changing conditions and giving full play to the engine's performance benefits.
[0004] After decades of theoretical research at home and abroad, the basic principles of scramjet engines have been basically understood. In recent years, scramjet engines have gradually moved towards engineering applications. There is a lack of literature and patents on scramjet engine measurement and control systems at home and abroad, and the technology of scramjet engine measurement and control systems is still immature. Different from traditional aircraft engines, scramjet engines have higher requirements for their measurement and control systems due to their special working environment and state, which are mainly reflected in: (1) Gas passes through the combustion chamber at supersonic speed and reacts chemically with fuel, with a residence time of milliseconds, which means that the engine test system and control system have sufficient response speed and performance. For the control system, it is necessary to make real-time feedback adjustments to the engine's working state and handle various abnormal working conditions that the engine may encounter (such as inlet failure to start, overtemperature, overpressure, abnormal flameout, etc.), which requires the control system to have high computing efficiency, control accuracy and real-time processing capabilities. For the test system, the sensor should have sufficient frequency response and quickly capture the transient characteristics of the engine, and the collector should have a sufficiently high sampling frequency. (2) Scramjet engines require many variables to be monitored, and the transmission rate and stability of the measurement and control system are high, and data packet loss cannot occur. (3) Due to its changeable and severe operating environment, the scramjet engine measurement and control system is required to work stably and reliably, and have good anti-interference capabilities. (4) The engine ground test measurement and control system has the ability to interact with the wind tunnel system, and can cooperate with the flight control debugging system in the ground test to simulate the entire engine's actual flight workflow.

DSP and FPGA are the core components of the integrated controller. Flash memory and RAM memory are connected to the corresponding pins through the chip reserved interface. The power processing module reduces the voltage of the external 28V DC power supply through the power chip to form a voltage range suitable for chip power supply to power the chip. The functions of other hardware modules are similar. Dedicated chips or special circuits are selected to realize module functions, and then they are connected through the reserved pins of DSP and FPGA chips.

With Flash memory, the system can be disconnected from the computer and controlled by the wind tunnel control system. After the collector is powered on, sampling is carried out, and the DI / O switch signal given by the wind tunnel control system is given to the integrated controller. After algorithm processing, the fuel pump and fuel valve are controlled. During the working process, the parameters of the control system, the engine flow control program, the collected data, the control status information, etc. need to be stored in the Flash. The measurement and control system has a BIT self-test system, which is used to detect the working status of the integrated controller and return the self-test results to the software platform through the Ethernet interface. Three types of BIT self-tests are realized after the system is powered on, before the engine works, and during the engine works, to test the correctness of the system hardware functions and locate the faults. BIT self-test is only carried out under specified conditions and does not affect the normal operation of the controller.
