Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of aviation lifesaving, and in particular relates to an extreme eccentricity identification method and an ejection control method and device. Background Art

[0002] In order to accommodate passengers of different weights and heights, the seat basin of the rocket ejection seat can be adjusted up and down. When different passengers are riding, the weight center of gravity of the person-seat-parachute system is different; the first-level power of the rocket ejection seat is the catapult, which is used to disconnect the rocket ejection seat from the aircraft and eject it out of the cabin; the second-level power is the rocket engine, which is used to push the rocket ejection seat to continue to rise to a certain height. The thrust axis of the secondary power of the rocket ejection seat is fixed, while the weight center of gravity of the person-seat-parachute system is different when different crew members are riding. Therefore, the secondary power of the rocket ejection seat will have a certain degree of eccentricity. Generally, the distance between the thrust line of the rocket engine and the projection of the weight center of gravity in the XOY plane of the person-seat-parachute system is defined as the eccentricity. According to the simulation calculation of the distribution of the weight center of gravity of the crew members, it can be seen that the eccentricity range is relatively wide, ranging from more than ten millimeters to more than fifty millimeters. Therefore, the eccentricity corresponding to different crew members is different, resulting in the person-seat-parachute system to produce angular motion under the action of the secondary power after leaving the cabin, and the corresponding values ​​of different crew members are quite different. In order to allow the rocket ejection seat to obtain a higher ground clearance for better life-saving, it is necessary to improve the utilization efficiency of the rocket engine, increase linear motion and suppress angular motion.

[0003] After the rocket ejection seat ejects from the aircraft and enters the "free flight" phase, in addition to using the rocket engine to provide secondary power, it will also use several attitude adjustment rockets (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, there are generally head-up rockets and head-down rockets located on the center line of the rocket ejection seat, and roll attitude rockets located on both sides of the rocket ejection seat to control the attitude of the rocket ejection seat. Each attitude adjustment rocket adopts a pulse rocket, and the angle and angular velocity feedback method is used to control the ignition timing of the attitude adjustment rocket at each position, so as to achieve the purpose of improving life-saving performance.

[0004] At present, due to the large range of eccentricity, the angular velocity generated by the rocket engine on the person-chair-parachute system during emergency ejection of different crew members varies greatly, and the rocket engine has a short working time, the angular velocity generated by the attitude adjustment rocket is large, and the attitude adjustment time is very short. When different crew members use the rocket ejection seat, only the angle and angular velocity feedback method cannot adapt well to different eccentricities. The key is that it cannot distinguish between extreme eccentricities. In the case of extreme eccentricity, firing the attitude adjustment rocket will cause a large overshoot, and may even lead to a decrease in life-saving performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problem that the current attitude adjustment method cannot distinguish the extreme eccentricity, which may lead to a decrease in life-saving performance when firing the attitude adjustment rocket under extreme eccentricity conditions, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an extreme eccentricity identification method, and an ejection control method based on the above-mentioned extreme eccentricity identification method, and an ejection control device based on the above-mentioned ejection control method. The identification method can accurately identify the extreme eccentricity based on angular acceleration while avoiding the acceleration interference generated by the first-stage power. The ejection control method and device can avoid the problem of decreased life-saving performance caused by firing the attitude adjustment rocket when identifying the extreme eccentricity.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:

[0007] A method for identifying extreme eccentricity collects the pitch angular velocity from the time the ejection seat exits the cabin to the time the rocket engine ignites at a high update frequency, and synchronously updates and calculates the pitch angular acceleration. The current average pitch angular acceleration is then obtained through sliding average, thereby removing the acceleration interference generated by the first-stage power from the time the ejection seat exits the cabin to the time the rocket engine ignites. The current average pitch angular acceleration is then compared with a threshold value. If the threshold value is exceeded, it is identified as extreme eccentricity.

[0008] Preferably, the pitch angular velocity within a certain period of time from the ejection seat leaving the cabin to the ignition of the rocket engine is collected with an update frequency of T0, where T0 = 20ms.

[0009] Preferably, the pitch angular velocity within T1 after the rocket ejection seat leaves the cabin and after the rocket engine is ignited is collected, where T1 = 100 ms.

[0010] Preferably, the threshold value A is obtained by performing multiple emergency ejection tests on occupants with different weight centers of gravity, and by statistically analyzing and processing the angular velocity value data in the tests.

[0011] Preferably, the time when the ejection seat is ejected and released is used as the time 0. When the ejection moment is reached, the pitch angular velocity is collected at an update frequency of one beat per time T0. The latest pitch angular velocity is ω z (n), the pitch angular velocity of the previous shot is ω z (n-1), then the latest pitch acceleration Each time the pitch angular velocity is collected, the pitch angular acceleration is calculated once, the latest six pitch angular acceleration results are saved, and the average of the three consecutive pitch angular accelerations is calculated. The current average pitch acceleration When the rocket engine ignites a certain time T1, compare the current average pitch acceleration With the threshold value A, if the current average pitch angle acceleration It is identified as extreme eccentricity.

[0012] An ejection control method adopts the above-mentioned extreme eccentricity identification method within a certain time T0 after the rocket ejection seat leaves the cabin and after the rocket engine ignites. If the extreme eccentricity is identified, the head-up rocket will not ignite to avoid the degradation of life-saving performance due to excessive change in pitch angle; and the time when the rocket ejection seat is ejected and released and starts to move is used as time 0, the current speed V and current altitude H after the rocket ejection seat leaves the cabin are collected, the current speed V, current altitude H and timing time T are compared with preset values, and if the current speed V ≤ preset speed V 预设 And the current height H ≤ preset height H 预设 , or, the timing time T ≥ the preset time T 预设 , the rocket ejection seat enters the separation parachute program, otherwise it continues to wait until the preset speed V is met at the same time 预设 and preset height H 预设 , the rocket ejection seat enters the separation parachute program.

[0013] Preferably, within a certain time T0 after the rocket ejection seat exits the cabin and after the rocket engine ignites, if the pitch angle θ is any value between -90° to -30° and 30° to 90°, and the current speed V is any value between 0km / h and 300km / h, then it is time for the head-up rocket to ignite.

[0014] An ejection control device for controlling a rocket ejection seat with pitch attitude adjustment capability comprises a data acquisition module and a control module; the data acquisition module is capable of collecting three-dimensional attitude angle, three-dimensional angular velocity, speed and altitude data of a person-chair system; the control module is capable of receiving data from the data acquisition module and adopting the strategy of the above-mentioned ejection control method for control.

[0015] Preferably, for the coordinate system of the person-chair system, the coordinate origin O is located at the center of mass of the person-chair system, the OX axis points to the aircraft heading, the OY axis points to the sky in the longitudinal symmetry plane of the person-chair system, and the OZ axis points to the right of the heading direction of the person-chair system according to the right-hand rule. The three-axis attitude angle includes the yaw angle ψ, the pitch angle θ, and the roll angle γ, and the three-axis angular velocity includes the yaw angular velocity ω y , pitch angular velocity ω z , rolling angular velocity ω x .

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] This identification method can accurately identify extreme eccentricity based on angular acceleration while avoiding the acceleration interference generated by the first-stage power. The ejection control method and device can avoid the problem of reduced life-saving performance caused by firing the attitude adjustment rocket when identifying the extreme eccentricity.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a method for identifying extreme eccentricity:

[0024] The pitch angular velocity within a certain period of time from the ejection seat exiting the cabin to the ignition of rocket engine 2 is collected at a high update frequency, and the pitch angular acceleration is synchronously updated and calculated. The current average pitch angular acceleration is then obtained through sliding average, thereby removing the acceleration interference generated by the first-stage power within a certain period of time from the ejection seat exiting the cabin to the ignition of rocket engine 2. The current average pitch angular acceleration is then compared with the threshold value. If the threshold value is exceeded, it is identified as extreme eccentricity.

[0025] Specifically, the time when the ejection seat is ejected and released is taken as time 0. When the exit time is reached (T ≥ 0.18s), the pitch angular velocity is collected at an update frequency of one beat at time T0. The latest pitch angular velocity is ω z (n), the pitch angular velocity of the previous shot is ω z (n-1), then the latest pitch acceleration Each time the pitch angular velocity is collected, the pitch angular acceleration is calculated once, the latest six pitch angular acceleration results are saved, and the average of the three consecutive pitch angular accelerations is calculated. The current average pitch acceleration When the rocket engine 2 is ignited for a certain time T1, compare the current average pitch acceleration With the threshold value A, if the current average pitch angle acceleration It is identified as extreme eccentricity.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably: the pitch angular velocity within a certain period of time from the ejection seat leaving the cabin to the ignition of the rocket engine 2 is collected at an update frequency of T0, T0 = 20ms; the pitch angular velocity within T1 after the ejection seat leaving the cabin to the ignition of the rocket engine 2 is collected, T1 = 100ms; Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG, the threshold value A is obtained by performing multiple emergency ejection tests on occupants with different weight centers of gravity, and by statistically analyzing and processing the angular velocity data in the tests.

[0027] This identification method can accurately identify extreme eccentricity based on angular acceleration while avoiding the acceleration interference generated by the first-stage power.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] This embodiment provides a method for ejection control:

[0030] During a certain period of time T0 after the ejection seat leaves the cabin and after the rocket engine 2 ignites, the above-mentioned extreme eccentricity recognition method is used. If an extreme eccentricity is recognized, the head-up rocket 1 will not ignite to avoid a large change in pitch angle that may cause a decrease in life-saving performance.

[0031] In addition, the ejection seat is released and starts to move as time 0, and the current speed V and current altitude H after the ejection seat leaves the cabin are collected. The current speed V, current altitude H and timing time T are compared with the preset values. If the current speed V ≤ the preset speed V 预设 And the current height H ≤ preset height H 预设 , or, the timing time T ≥ the preset time T 预设 , the rocket ejection seat enters the separation parachute program, otherwise it continues to wait until the preset speed V is met at the same time 预设 and preset height H 预设 , the rocket ejection seat enters the separation parachute program.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably: within a certain time T0 after the rocket ejection seat exits the cabin and after the rocket engine 2 ignites, if the pitch angle θ is any value between -90° to -30° and 30° to 90°, and the current speed V is any value between 0km / h and 300km / h, then it is the time when the head-up rocket 1 can be ignited, and then the specific ignition control strategy (ignition start and stop time) is selected according to the specific situation of the posture.

[0033] This ejection control method can avoid the problem of reduced life-saving performance caused by firing the attitude-adjusting rocket when extreme eccentricity is identified.
