Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft mechanism design verification, and in particular relates to a flaperon motion principle test method. Background Art

[0002] On short takeoff and landing aircraft, a special lift-enhancing device is sometimes used that allows a single wing surface to simultaneously perform the functions of ailerons and Fuller flaps. The aileron function and the flap function are independent of each other.

[0003] The lift-enhancing device is a spatial multi-link mechanism, involving a large number of rods and complex cross-linking relationships. A single rudder is controlled by two independent control systems: one is an extension of the flap mechanical control system, linked to the flap, and the other is an aileron hydraulic control system. The flap function configuration angles are 0°, α2, α3, and α4, respectively. When the flap function angle is 0°≤α<α2, the aileron function deflection angle range is β1~β2; when the flap function angle is α2≤α<α3, the aileron function deflection angle range is β3~β4; when the flap function angle is α3≤α≤α4, the aileron function deflection angle range is β5~β6. At any position of the flap function, the rudder can deflect arbitrarily within the corresponding deflection angle range. All components of the mechanism need to have sufficient transmission efficiency and safety distance. When conducting the mechanism principle verification test, there are safety risks and the test piece may be damaged. Summary of the invention

[0047] The test method comprises the following steps: Figure 2 shown.

[0048] Step 1: Assemble the moving parts and control system of the test piece Figure 1 As shown, it is installed on a test bench 13, wherein the first rocker arm 7 and the second rocker arm 11 are hinged to the test bench 13 at points A1 and A2, respectively; the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are hinged to the test bench 13 at points B1 and B2, respectively; the third connecting rod 3 and the fourth connecting rod 4 are hinged to the test bench 13 at point C to form a composite hinge; and the hydraulic actuator 10 is hinged to the test bench 13 at point D. During installation, ensure that the lengths of the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are zero lengths, and the length of the hydraulic actuator 10 is neutral length. The first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are synchronously and proportionally retracted and extended to realize the flap function of the flaperon wing surface 8; the hydraulic actuator 10 is retracted and extended to realize the aileron function of the flaperon wing surface 8. The flap function configuration angles are 0°, α2, α3, and α4 respectively. When the flap function angle is 0°≤α<α2, the aileron function deflection angle range is β1~β2; when the flap function angle is α2≤α<α3, the aileron function deflection angle range is β3~β4; when the flap function angle is α3≤α≤α4, the aileron function deflection angle range is β5~β6.

[0049] Step 2: Mark about 3 to 4 laser measurement points on the flaperon wing surface 8, and paste the angular displacement measuring instrument on the flaperon wing surface 8. Adjust the length of the small tie rod 5 and the Watt connecting rod 6 so that the gap and step difference between the flaperon wing surface 8 and the test bench 13 meet the requirements. Use a laser tracker or other equipment to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the laser measurement points, record the values, calibrate the initial spatial position of the flaperon wing surface 8, and zero the angular displacement measuring instrument.

[0050] Step 3: Verify flap function, hydraulic actuator 10 is held without operation.

[0051] (1) When the flap function angle is 0°, use a steel ruler or feeler gauge to measure the spanwise clearance between the flaperon wing surface 8 and the test bench 13, the structural clearance at the hinge between the first rocker arm 7 and the first screw actuator 9, the structural clearance at the hinge between the second rocker arm 11 and the second screw actuator 12, the structural clearance at the hinge between the third connecting rod 3 and the Watt connecting rod 6, the structural clearance at the hinge between the first connecting rod 1 and the small tie rod 5, and the structural clearance between the small tie rod 5 and the flaperon wing surface 8.

[0052] (2) The first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at a slow speed (usually 1 / 4 or 1 / 2 of the normal speed) to realize the flap function configuration angle 0°→0°+Δα→…→α2→α2+Δα→…→α3→α3+Δα→…→α4, where Δα is a small angle interval, usually 1° to 2°. At each flap function angle, the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are held, and the structural gap measurement items in step 3 (1) are measured with a steel ruler or a feeler gauge, the three-dimensional coordinates of the laser measurement point on the flaperon wing surface 8 are measured with a laser tracker, and the deflection angle of the flaperon wing surface 8 relative to the initial position is measured with an angular displacement measuring instrument. During the test, the relative position relationship between the moving components is observed to see if there are problems such as too small gap, collision, abnormal noise, etc.

[0053] (3) Analyze the measured three-dimensional coordinates, flaperon wing surface 8 deflection angle, and structural clearance, and compare them with theoretical data. If there is no abnormality, proceed to the next step.

[0054] (4) The first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at normal speed to realize the flap functional configuration angle of 0°→α2→α3→α4→α3→α2→0°, and the flap function verification is completed after n1 cycles of retraction and extension are performed without abnormal conditions.

[0055] Step 4: Aileron function verification.

[0056] (1) When the flap function angle is 0°, the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are not operated. The hydraulic actuator 10 is driven at a slow speed (usually 1 / 4 or 1 / 2 of the normal speed) to achieve the aileron function angle 0°→0°-Δβ→…→β1→β1+Δβ→…→0°→0°+Δβ

[0057] →…→β2→β2-Δβ→…→0°, Δβ is a smaller angle interval, usually 1°~2°, use a steel ruler or feeler gauge to measure the structural gap measurement item in step 3 (1), use a laser tracker to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the laser measurement point on the flaperon wing surface 8, and use an angular displacement measuring instrument to measure the deflection angle of the flaperon wing surface 8 relative to the initial position. In one cycle, only one set of the same aileron function angle data is measured. During the test, observe the relative position relationship between the moving components to see if there are problems such as too small gap, bumps, and abnormal noises.

[0058] (2) Similar to step 4 (1), the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at normal speed, and the flap function angles are respectively set to α2, α3, and α4. After reaching the designated position, the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are held without being manipulated. The hydraulic actuator 10 is driven at a slow speed, and at each aileron small angle interval, the structural clearance, three-dimensional coordinates, and deflection angle in step 4 (1) are measured.

[0059] (3) Analyze the structural gap, three-dimensional coordinates of the laser measurement points, and flaperon wing surface 8 deflection angle measured in steps 4 (1) and (2), and compare them with theoretical data. If there is no abnormality, proceed to the next step.

[0060] (4) The first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at normal speed. After the flap function angles are respectively set to 0°, α2, α3, and α4, the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are held without being manipulated. The hydraulic actuator 10 is driven at normal speed to achieve the aileron function angle deflection within the maximum angle range of β1-β2, β3-β4, β5-β6, and β5-β6. At each flap function angle, the aileron function cycle is retracted and extended n2 times. If there is no abnormality, the aileron function verification is completed.

[0061] Step 5, coupling function verification. During the use of the flaperon, when the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven, that is, when the flap function switches from one angle to another adjacent angle, the lateral control function of the aileron needs to be realized at the same time, that is, the hydraulic actuator 10 needs to be driven at the same time, and two independent control systems drive one rudder surface at the same time. Step 5 tests and verifies this function. After the above steps 3 and 4, most of the risks of the test have been released.

[0062] (1) The first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at normal speed, and the flap function angle is 0°→α2→α3→α4→α3→α2→0°, and n3 cycles of retraction and extension are performed. In each cycle, the hydraulic actuator 10 is randomly controlled to control the flaperon to deflect up and down 4 to 8 times. The normal speed deflects within the maximum deflection range, and the angle is random. If there is no abnormality, proceed to the next step.

[0063] (2) Similar to step 5 (1), the first screw actuator 9 and the second screw actuator 12 are driven at normal speed to perform n4 cycles of flap function retraction and extension. In each cycle, the hydraulic actuator 10 is randomly controlled to control the flaperon to deflect up and down 4 to 8 times. The maximum angle deflection is performed at normal speed. The coupling function verification is completed without abnormal conditions.

[0064] Step six: disassemble the test piece and check it for bumps, wear, etc., and improve the motion mechanism based on the measured structural clearance, three-dimensional coordinates of the laser measurement points, and rudder surface deflection data.
