Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vibration testing, and in particular to an adjustment device and method for a laser vibrometer in a fuel sloshing test. Background Art

[0002] The sloshing of fuel in a fuel tank refers to the movement of the free surface of the liquid due to external disturbance or excitation. The sloshing problem of fuel is very common in the fields of aerospace, shipbuilding, and chemical industry. Fuel sloshing will not only produce impact loads on the tank wall, causing fatigue damage to the structure; but also for liquid-carrying systems with a large liquid-carrying ratio, such as aircraft, during the movement, the change in the center of gravity caused by the large sloshing of the liquid in a short period of time will also have an adverse effect on the movement trajectory or flight attitude of the aircraft. Therefore, the study of fuel sloshing characteristics is crucial to the structural strength and system design of aircraft. A common research method is to simulate the load on the fuel tank through a vibration table and collect the sloshing characteristics of the fuel surface through a laser vibrometer. However, on the one hand, most modern aircraft are integral fuel tanks, and the internal frame plate is used to divide the overall area into multiple compartments. Therefore, each compartment needs to be tested with a laser vibrometer, but there is only a small opening on the top of the tank for the laser vibrometer to test the liquid surface, and it is very difficult to adjust the incident position; on the other hand, the reflected light loss after the laser is reflected by the fuel is very serious, the signal strength is greatly reduced, and even the signal cannot be collected. The traditional test method is generally to install a laser vibrometer on the top of each compartment of the fuel tank during the test preparation stage, and manually adjust the test position and incident angle of the laser vibrometer so that the laser measurement point can pass through the small hole on the top of the fuel tank and be incident on the liquid surface, and further fine-tune the incident angle and position. In this process, the test is conducted after finding an installation state with acceptable reflection intensity. On the one hand, this test method requires the preparation of a large number of laser vibrometers, and requires frequent and careful manual adjustment of the test position and incident angle of the laser vibrometer to obtain a barely acceptable reflection intensity; on the other hand, once the laser vibrometer is disturbed by the vibration table excitation during the test, the installation state may be affected. At this time, the test needs to be terminated and the above adjustment steps need to be repeated, which not only greatly reduces the test efficiency, but also makes it difficult to obtain high-quality measurement signals. Therefore, a device and method are needed to adjust the test position, test distance and incident angle of the laser vibrometer in a large range, multiple degrees of freedom and high efficiency in the fuel slosh test.

[0003] Through prior art search, there are the following known technical solutions:

[0004] Prior art 1:

[0005] Application number: 202111271170.X. Application date: 2021.10.29. Publication (announcement) date: 2021.11.30. This prior art discloses an angle adjustment mechanism for an optical instrument, wherein two hollow plates are fixed to the top of the base away from the center of the base, a horizontal plate is fixed between the two hollow plates, a connecting rod is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate, a bearing plate is hinged to the top of the connecting rod, auxiliary fixing devices are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the bearing plate, an adjustment device is provided on the top of the base away from the center of the base, and a wheel device is provided at the bottom of the base.

[0006] This prior art uses a gear and a bidirectional toothed plate to cooperate. When the rotating rod drives the gear to rotate, the bidirectional toothed plate moves upward or downward, so that the bidirectional toothed plate adjusts the angle of the optical instrument, thereby avoiding the problem of a small upward and downward movement of the optical instrument and a slow adjustment speed, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the optical instrument. However, this method still relies on manual operation, cannot significantly improve the adjustment efficiency, and is not suitable for occasions that require frequent adjustment.

[0007] Prior art 2:

[0008] Application number: 201922087595.X. Application date: 2019.11.26. Publication (announcement) date: 2020.07.28. The prior art discloses a camera shooting angle adjustment device, including a camera gimbal, a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm and a camera rotating seat; wherein one end of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm is connected to the camera gimbal, and the other end of the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm is connected to the camera rotating seat; the camera shooting angle adjustment device also includes: a shooting angle measurement sensor fixedly connected to the camera rotating seat; a first control chip electrically connected to the shooting angle measurement sensor; and a driving mechanism electrically connected to the first control chip and the six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm respectively.

[0009] This prior art solution can solve the problem that the camera's shooting angle is limited and it is difficult to capture a full image, but it still relies on manual alignment, and if it is used in the process of adjusting the laser vibrometer's measuring point in a shake test, the efficiency is low.
