[0015] The torsional stiffness detection mechanism includes a blade root clamping block II, a limiter II, a driving source II, a torque detection element and an angle detection element;

[0020] More specifically, the housing of the driving motor as the driving source II is limited on the test bench through a fixing seat, and the power output shaft of the driving motor is parallel to the extension direction of the blades of the helicopter to be tested, wherein the present solution further comprises a transmission assembly, the transmission assembly is used to input the power of the driving motor to the rotor, the transmission assembly comprises a driving tooth coaxially fixed with the power output shaft of the driving motor and a driven tooth coaxially fixed with the rotation center of the rotor, the driving tooth and the driven tooth are in transmission cooperation, and the driven tooth is driven to rotate by the driving tooth;

[0021] The active gear is connected to the power output shaft of the drive motor through a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft equipped with the movable output gear is combined with the power output shaft of the drive motor through any coupling in the prior art to form a whole, wherein the active gear is also limited by a connecting shaft shell fixed to the stator, and the connecting shaft equipped with the movable output gear can be driven to rotate and penetrate through the connecting shaft shell, and the active gear and the power output shaft of the drive motor are arranged on both sides of the connecting shaft shell, so as to further ensure the detection accuracy of the torsional stiffness and reduce the influence of the rotation decline of the long shaft end and the rotational deflection of the long shaft end;

[0022] The torque sensor is arranged between the power output shaft of the driving motor and the connecting shaft equipped with the active gear, and the two ends of the torque sensor are respectively fixed on the power output shaft of the driving motor and the connecting shaft equipped with the active gear;

[0023] The angle sensor is set on the detection table through an auxiliary bracket. The detection end of the angle sensor is provided with a functional gear, which cooperates with the driven gear transmission. The functional gear is driven by the driven gear so that the rotation angle of the rotor is collected by the angle sensor; the influence of external factors on the measurement results is reduced, and more accurate detection parameters are obtained.

[0024] The blade root clamping block I and the blade root clamping block II simulate helicopter rotor blade clamps and are respectively arranged on the test bench. The root of the helicopter blade to be tested is limited in a detachable manner by two bolts arranged in parallel, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and has high structural strength, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the stiffness test results.

[0025] Furthermore, the torsional stiffness detection mechanism also includes an assembly stand, which is fixed on the detection table, and the stator limits the rotor in a ring sleeve manner, and a ball II is arranged between the stator and the rotor; that is, the connection structure of the stator and the rotor in this scheme is similar to the structure of a bearing, the stator is fixed on the assembly stand, and the rotor is driven to rotate and installed in the stator, and the two are coaxial, which can better specify the rotation angle and rotation accuracy of the rotor; the housing of the drive motor is fixed on the assembly stand through a fixed seat, the angle sensor is fixed on the assembly stand through an auxiliary bracket, the connecting shaft housing is fixed on the assembly stand, the driven tooth is fixed on the rotor, and the rotation center of the driven tooth coincides with the rotation center of the rotor to ensure the accuracy of the detection result, and the driven tooth in this scheme is an arc-shaped rack, which can limit the deflection angle of the rotor and prevent the occurrence of situations such as the breakage of the helicopter blade to be tested caused by overload. The assembly stand of this scheme integrates the various frames of the torsional stiffness detection mechanism into a unified whole, which can improve the transmission accuracy and the detection accuracy.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary pad, which is driven to support the helicopter blade to be tested on the test bench or release the support for the helicopter blade to be tested. The top of the auxiliary pad has a positioning groove, which is used to limit the deflection of the helicopter blade to be tested. Through the use of the auxiliary pad in this solution, the helicopter blade to be tested can be supported by the test bench even in the unassembled test state, which is more conducive to the installation of the helicopter blade to be tested on the test mechanism. When the helicopter blade to be tested is assembled on the test mechanism, the auxiliary pad no longer forms a support for the helicopter blade to be tested, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the required parameters of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0027] Further, the limiting member I has a limiting cavity I, the inner wall surface of the limiting cavity I is parallel to the blade surface of the helicopter blade to be tested, and after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the limiting member I, the inner wall surface of the limiting cavity I is in contact with the limited blade surface of the helicopter blade to be tested;

[0028] The limiting of the helicopter blade to be tested is made more reliable and the detection result is more accurate. The limiting component I of the present scheme includes a driven sliding slide and a limiting strip detachably assembled on the slide. The slide is in an inverted "T" shape as a whole. Its transverse plate is used as a bottom plate to assemble a plurality of ball bearings I to reduce friction. Its vertical plate is used as an assembly plate to assemble the limiting strip. The limiting strip and the assembly plate are combined to form a limiting cavity I that can be controlled to open and close, thereby facilitating the limiting of the helicopter blade to be tested on the limiting component I. The power output end I of the driving source I is arranged on the back of the assembly plate, opposite to the limiting strip, and a reinforcing rib connecting the transverse plate and the assembly plate is arranged on one side of the power output end I of the assembly plate, thereby improving the reliability of the overall structure and facilitating the test of the flapping stiffness of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0029] The rotor has a limiting cavity II, the inner wall surface of the limiting cavity II is parallel to the blade surface of the helicopter blade to be tested, and after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the rotor, the inner wall surface of the limiting cavity II is in contact with the limited blade surface of the helicopter blade to be tested;

[0030] This makes the limiting of the helicopter blade to be tested more reliable and the detection result more accurate. In this scheme, a limit seat is formed at a position close to the rotation center of the rotor. The rotor also includes a limit cover plate that can be detachably assembled on the limit seat. The limit seat and the limit cover plate are combined to form a limit cavity II that can be controlled to open and close, which is conducive to limiting the helicopter blade to be tested on the rotor. The limit cavity II is close to the top surface of the test bench in the height direction, which improves the reliability of the overall structure and is conducive to ensuring the test of the torsional stiffness of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0031] Furthermore, after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the limiter I, the connection point between the power output end I and the limiter I is close to the 1 / 4 chord line of the helicopter blade to be tested in the height direction. The optimal structure of close proximity is overlap, and the overlap of the two is ensured as much as possible during actual assembly and use, so as to further improve the accuracy of the results of the flapping stiffness detection.

[0032] Furthermore, after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the rotor, the rotation center of the rotor approximately coincides with the 1 / 4 chord line of the helicopter blade to be tested. The approximate coincidence means that the two theoretically remain coincident, and the approximation includes the influence of factors such as manufacturing and assembly on the actual results, which will not be repeated here, further improving the accuracy of the results of the torsional stiffness detection.

[0033] Furthermore, a limiting portion is connected to the stator, and a limiting end is provided on the rotor, and the limiting end is controlled to be engaged with or disconnected from the limiting portion so that the rotor is positioned at a specified position of the stator or released from the specified position of the stator.

[0034] In this solution, the limiting portion is a functional hole formed on the assembly bench, and the limiting end is a support arm formed on the rotor, which extends radially outward from the rotor. A matching hole is provided on the support arm, and the matching hole can coincide with the functional hole. The torsional stiffness detection mechanism also includes a plug pin, and the functional hole and the matching hole are connected by the plug pin so that the rotor is limited on the assembly bench. In this state, the rotor and the stator form a whole and cannot be driven to rotate, which is used to more conveniently assemble the helicopter blades to be tested on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism. After the helicopter blades to be tested are assembled on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism, the plug pin is removed so that the rotor can be driven to rotate relative to the stator. In this state, the torsional stiffness of the helicopter blades can be detected.

[0035] Furthermore, the stator is provided with an angle limiter, and the angle limiters are two respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the rotation direction of the limit end;

[0036] The rotor is regulated to rotate within a preset angle by the travel limit of the limit end by the two angle limit members.

[0037] In this solution, the angle limiter includes a fixed base and an adjusting rod. The fixed base is fixed on the assembly stand. The adjusting rod is a design structure of a bolt and a nut. A screw hole for the bolt thread to pass through is provided on the fixed base, so that the screw rod can adjust the extension length on the fixed base to limit the rotation angle of the rotor. The angle limiter is two arranged on the front and rear sides of the rotation direction of the support arm, which play a protective function.

[0038] The present solution also discloses a helicopter blade stiffness detection method based on the helicopter blade stiffness detection device, comprising the following detection steps:

[0039] S1. The swing stiffness detection mechanism runs without load to obtain the tension and pressure data of the limiter I in the preset stroke I;

[0040] The torsional stiffness detection mechanism is operated without load to obtain the torque data of the rotor at a preset angle I;

[0041] S2. The helicopter blade to be tested is assembled on the flapping stiffness detection mechanism, the flapping stiffness detection mechanism is started, and the tension and pressure data II of the limiter I in the preset stroke are obtained;

[0042] Alternatively, if the helicopter blade to be tested is assembled on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism, the torsional stiffness detection mechanism is started to obtain torque data II of the rotor at a preset angle;

[0043] S3. Pull and pressure data II - Pull and pressure data I obtain the measured value of the pull and pressure of the helicopter blade to be tested;

[0044] Torque data II-torque data I obtains the actual torque value of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0045] Among them, step S1 can obtain data uniformly according to actual conditions and send them to the computer for processing. In actual operation, only step S2 needs to be practiced. The obtained data can be directly uploaded to the computer to obtain the measured value, and then the measured value is used to calculate the required data. This can greatly shorten the detection process, and the detection accuracy can be strictly controlled, the structure is more accurate, and it has a higher reference value.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a helicopter blade stiffness detection device and a detection method disclosed in the present invention make the detection integration and efficiency higher through the setting of a flapping stiffness detection mechanism and a torsional stiffness detection mechanism, and the detection data of the helicopter blade to be tested by using the flapping stiffness detection mechanism and the torsional stiffness detection mechanism of the present scheme is more real and accurate, which greatly improves the finished product quality of the helicopter blade to be tested.

The limiting cavity II is close to the top surface of the test bench 1 in the height direction, which improves the reliability of the overall structure and is conducive to ensuring the test of the torsional stiffness of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the limiter I3, the connection point between the power output end I and the limiter I is close to the 1 / 4 chord line of the helicopter blade to be tested in the height direction. The optimal structure of close proximity is overlap. In actual assembly and use, the overlap of the two is ensured as much as possible to further improve the accuracy of the results of detecting the flapping stiffness.

[0078] In this embodiment, after the helicopter blade to be tested is limited by the rotor 13, the rotation center of the rotor approximately coincides with the 1 / 4 chord line of the helicopter blade to be tested. The approximate coincidence means that the two theoretically remain coincident, and the approximation includes the influence of factors such as manufacturing and assembly on the actual results, which will not be repeated here, further improving the accuracy of the results of detecting torsional stiffness.

[0079] In this embodiment, a limiting portion is connected to the stator 12, and a limiting end 18 is provided on the rotor 13. The limiting end 18 is controlled to be engaged with or disconnected from the limiting portion so that the rotor 13 is positioned at a specified position of the stator 12 or released from the specified position of the stator 12.

[0080] In this solution, the limiting portion is a functional hole formed on the assembly stand 16, and the limiting end 18 is a support arm formed on the rotor 13, which extends radially outward from the rotor 13. A matching hole is provided on the support arm, and the matching hole can coincide with the functional hole. The torsional stiffness detection mechanism also includes a plug pin 19, and the functional hole and the matching hole are connected by the plug pin 19 so that the rotor 13 is limited on the assembly stand 16. In this state, the rotor 13 and the stator 12 form a whole and cannot be driven to rotate, which is used to more conveniently assemble the helicopter blades to be tested on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism. After the helicopter blades to be tested are assembled on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism, the plug pin 19 is removed so that the rotor 13 can be driven to rotate relative to the stator 12. In this state, the torsional stiffness of the helicopter blades can be detected.

[0081] In this embodiment, the stator 12 is provided with an angle limiter 20, and the angle limiters 20 are two respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the limit end 18 in the rotation direction;

[0082] The rotor 13 is regulated to rotate within a preset angle by the travel limit of the limit end 18 by the two angle limit members 20 .

[0083] In this solution, the angle limiter 20 includes a fixed base and an adjusting rod. The fixed base is fixed on the assembly stand 16. The adjusting rod is a design structure of a bolt and a nut. A screw hole for the bolt thread to pass through is provided on the fixed base, so that the screw rod can adjust the extension length on the fixed base to limit the rotation angle of the rotor 13. The angle limiter 20 is two arranged on the front and rear sides of the rotation direction of the support arm, which play a protective function.

[0084] The present solution also discloses a helicopter blade stiffness detection method based on the helicopter blade stiffness detection device, comprising the following detection steps:

[0085] S1. The swing stiffness detection mechanism is operated without load to obtain the tension and pressure data of the limiter Ⅰ3 in the preset stroke Ⅰ;

[0086] The torsional stiffness detection mechanism operates at no load to obtain torque data I of the rotor 13 at a preset angle;

[0087] S2. The helicopter blade to be tested is assembled on the flapping stiffness detection mechanism, the flapping stiffness detection mechanism is started, and the tension and pressure data of the limiter Ⅰ3 in the preset stroke Ⅱ is obtained; more specifically, the driving source Ⅰ4, the tension and pressure detection element 5 and the distance detection element 6 are started to obtain the corresponding data;

[0088] Alternatively, if the helicopter blade to be tested is assembled on the torsional stiffness detection mechanism, the torsional stiffness detection mechanism is started to obtain the torque data II of the rotor 13 at the preset angle; more specifically, the driving source II 9, the torque detection element 10 and the angle detection element 11 are started to obtain the corresponding data;

[0089] S3. Pull and pressure data II - Pull and pressure data I obtain the measured value of the pull and pressure of the helicopter blade to be tested;

[0090] Torque data II-torque data I obtains the actual torque value of the helicopter blade to be tested.

[0091] Among them, step S1 can obtain data uniformly according to actual conditions and send them to the computer for processing. In actual operation, only step S2 needs to be practiced. The obtained data can be directly uploaded to the computer to obtain the measured value, and then the measured value is used to calculate the required data. This can greatly shorten the detection process, and the detection accuracy can be strictly controlled, the structure is more accurate, and it has a higher reference value.

[0092] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
