Description

Technical Field

[0002] The ignition of pyrotechnics is an important part of the electrical system of the aircraft. The ignition of pyrotechnics is related to the execution of key actions such as the start of the aircraft engine, the activation of the thermal battery, and the separation of the interstage, which directly affects the success or failure of the aircraft mission. The ignition of pyrotechnics on the aircraft generally adopts the electric ignition method, that is, the ignition energy is used to output a voltage pulse of a certain voltage and a certain duration, which acts on the pyrotechnic end to cause physical or chemical changes, so as to promote the effective ignition of the pyrotechnics. For the ignition of pyrotechnics, it is crucial whether the electrical system can provide an ignition stimulus that meets the requirements. Usually, when conducting ground tests on aircraft, the ignition voltage can be collected and judged by using an external analog-to-digital conversion acquisition card combined with the upper computer display software. By comparing the collected voltage peak and duration with the preset threshold, it is judged whether the ignition action is performed normally. This method requires the reliance on external complex external test equipment, which hinders the realization of the aircraft's agile test function. In addition, once the aircraft is launched, it is impossible to collect the relevant ignition voltage with the help of external equipment, which brings many inconveniences to the collection and analysis of flight test data.
