Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a measurement test method for the work done by the aerodynamic torque of a folding rudder during its deployment, and belongs to the technical field of special wind tunnel tests. Background Art

[0002] In order to adapt to the strict constraints of space, the control surfaces of the aircraft adopt a folding design to reduce the outer envelope size. The foldable surfaces can be quickly deployed during flight to enhance control capabilities. Whether the folding rudder can be deployed safely and smoothly is a key assessment of the aircraft design, including whether the folding rudder can be deployed normally under the work of aerodynamic hindering loads, and whether the impact load when deployed into place under the work of aerodynamic promoting loads will damage the rudder surface structure.

[0003] In the prior art, wind tunnel tests are widely used as the most economical assessment method for folding rudder safety tests. However, the deployment assessment test of the folding rudder requires the use of a real model, a folding rudder and its driving source. Due to the limitation of the wind tunnel size, the blockage of the real model in the wind tunnel is too large to conduct the test. The previous practice is to shorten and simplify the forebody of the real model, retain the real folding rudder installation part, carry out a deployment test without driving force, and obtain the deployment process of the rudder surface. However, the results obtained can only qualitatively analyze the deployment performance of the folding rudder, because the flow in which the folding rudder is located changes after the forebody of the real model is shortened and simplified, and the aerodynamic force it receives is inconsistent with that of the real model; or a scaled model is used to measure the rudder surface load to obtain its static load at different deployment angles, but this ignores the dynamic load of the folding rudder deployment process. The above method is not applicable when accurately evaluating the folding and deployment performance, and the obtained folding rudder deployment performance is inaccurate.

[0004] In summary, a test method for measuring the work done by the aerodynamic torque of a folding rudder is needed. Summary of the invention

The terminal angular velocity is obtained according to the moment when the folding rudder is fully deployed, and the aerodynamic torque work is obtained by subtracting the work done by the effective driving torque from the final kinetic energy when the folding rudder is in place.

[0008] Furthermore, in S1, the effective driving torque The torque measured by the balance , the rudder surface rotation angle history under no wind load conditions is , whose unit is radians; Effective driving torque It is expressed as: ; ;

The angular velocity change function with time is obtained by taking a derivative. According to the time when the folding rudder is deployed, , calculate the final angular velocity , using the final kinetic energy minus the work done by the effective driving torque, we get the work done by the aerodynamic torque; The mathematical expression of the change of the folding rudder deployment angle over time is expressed as: ;

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention uses aerodynamic torque work as an evaluation indicator, effectively avoiding the problem that the aerodynamic torque and the unfolding angle history of the folding rudder unfolding process of the simplified test model of the forebody shortening are difficult to simulate at the same time, and can accurately evaluate the actual unfolding performance of the folding rudder; the present invention adopts a balance measurement method to obtain the effective driving torque under no-wind load conditions, and can accurately deduct the influence of the folding rudder rotation friction torque. In the unfolding test data processing under wind load conditions, the angular velocity at the moment the folding rudder is fully unfolded is introduced to calculate the aerodynamic torque work, which can effectively avoid the error influence of the large deviation of the second derivative of the angle time curve and the fluctuation of the intermediate process data, and improve the accuracy of the measurement; the measurement results of the present invention can quickly and accurately evaluate the rationality of the driving torque and test the impact load resistance of the folding rudder, avoid problems during flight, improve safety, and save costs.

Since the real folding rudder and driving source are used for the test, the work done by driving torque, friction torque and inertia torque is consistent with the real model. According to the principle of energy conservation, as long as the aerodynamic torque work of the folding rudder deployment of the simplified test model with shortened forebody is consistent with the real model, the real deployment performance of the folding rudder can be fully reflected. The aerodynamic torque work of the folding rudder deployment of the simplified test model with shortened forebody is consistent with that of the real model and can be expressed as: ; ; ;

The aerodynamic moment of the simplified test model for forebody shortening is The unfolding angle of the folding rudder of the real model. is the aerodynamic moment of the real model.

[0020] Although the deployment process and aerodynamic torque of the test model are inconsistent with the real ones, the aerodynamic torque work can meet the assessment requirements. Therefore, the aerodynamic torque work of the test model is the most important indicator for evaluating whether the wind tunnel test simulation conditions meet the assessment requirements. In this embodiment, the aerodynamic torque work of the forebody shortened simplified model during the folding rudder deployment test is accurately measured; The effective driving torque is the theoretical driving torque minus the friction torque. The friction torque is the driving torque lost due to mechanical friction of the rotating parts. Engineering experience has found that the ratio of friction torque to theoretical driving torque can reach 25%. Therefore, it cannot be ignored and needs to be deducted.

[0021] Furthermore, in S1, the effective driving torque The torque measured by the balance The effective driving torque is the value of the theoretical driving torque minus the friction torque. The rudder rotation angle history under no wind load conditions is , its unit is radian (rad); Effective driving torque It is expressed as: ; ;

[0023] Furthermore, in S2, the rudder surface rotation angle history under wind load conditions is: , whose unit is radian (rad), is pre-processed by digital filtering and smoothing method, and a 6th-order polynomial curve fitting is performed to obtain the mathematical expression of the change of the folding rudder deployment angle with time. The angular velocity change function with time is obtained by taking a derivative. According to the time when the folding rudder is deployed, , calculate the final angular velocity , using the final kinetic energy minus the work done by the effective driving torque, we get the work done by the aerodynamic torque; The mathematical expression of the change of the folding rudder deployment angle over time is expressed as: ;

[0024] in, is time, its unit is / second (s), They are the constant terms of the 6th-order polynomial curve fitting, the moment when the folding rudder is fully deployed The unit is / second (s), the moment when the folding rudder is fully deployed The unit of the angular velocity of the corresponding folding rudder when it is fully deployed is radian per second (rad / s); The angular velocity changes with time as a function of: ;

[0025] in, Indicates the rudder surface rotation angle history under wind load conditions Take a derivative; Final angular velocity It is expressed as: ;

[0026] Aerodynamic torque work It is expressed as: ;
