Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solid attitude control system, and more particularly to a dual-thruster rotating attitude control system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The solid attitude control system mainly provides pitch, yaw, roll, quick repair and other attitude control power for the aircraft during flight, improves the flight accuracy, penetration ability and damage efficiency of the aircraft.

[0003] In the technical field of solid attitude control, the commonly used solid attitude control system can be divided into direct exhaust type attitude control system, pulse type attitude control system and gas storage type attitude control system according to energy control and use mode. From the attitude control layout mode, the above attitude control system uses the nozzle layout design mode of liquid attitude control, and its performance is restricted by the working performance, reliability and cost of high-temperature gas valve. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange 6 or 8 sets of thrusters with different exhaust directions, control the opening of electromagnetic valves in different directions, and realize different attitude control requirements.

[0004] At present, in the process of rotating the dual-thruster rotating attitude control system, control forces or control moments in the pitch, yaw and roll channels are generated at the same time, that is, control moments in the roll channel may be generated in the process of adjusting the pitch and yaw. Generally, the roll channel of the aircraft has smaller moment of inertia relative to the pitch and yaw channels. The attitude control moment generated in the roll channel in the process of adjusting the pitch and yaw will generate a large disturbance to the roll channel. The roll movement of the aircraft will further affect the angle direction of the thruster, and then change the size of the pitch and yaw control force, forming the control coupling between the roll channel and the pitch and yaw channels. Under this coupling condition, the attitude control system of the aircraft is easy to diverge and uncontrollable. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-thruster rotating attitude control method which completely decouples the roll channel, to create conditions for the engineering application of the dual-thruster rotating attitude control system.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0049] The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0050] In a dual-thrust rotating attitude control system, control forces or torques are generated simultaneously in three channels: pitch, yaw, and roll, during thruster rotation. Specifically, control torques may be generated in the roll channel during pitch and yaw adjustments. Typically, the roll channel of an aircraft has a smaller moment of inertia than the pitch and yaw channels. The attitude control torques generated in the roll channel during pitch and yaw adjustments can cause significant disturbances to the roll channel. The aircraft's roll motion further affects the thruster's angle and orientation, thereby changing the magnitude of the pitch and yaw control forces. This creates control coupling between the roll channel and the pitch and yaw channels. Under this coupling condition, the aircraft's attitude control system is prone to divergence and uncontrollability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-thrust rotating attitude control method that completely decouples the roll channel to create conditions for the engineering application of dual-thrust rotating attitude control systems.

[0051] The dual-thrust rotary attitude control system provided by this invention achieves thrust direction adjustment by changing the exhaust direction of the nozzle, replacing traditional switch adjustment with direction adjustment. Through direction combination, pitch, yaw, and roll attitude control can be achieved by two sets of thrusters, thus forming a rotary servo-adjustable solid-state attitude control system. This system is a novel attitude control mode with advantages such as fewer thrusters, high reliability, simple structure, high impulse-to-mass ratio, and light weight.

[0052] According to one aspect of an embodiment of this application, a dual-thruster rotational attitude control system is provided. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 1 The dual-thrust rotational attitude control system provided in the embodiments of this application is described as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a first thruster distributed in a first mounting surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flight body, and a second thruster distributed in a second mounting surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flight body; the first thruster and the second thruster are symmetrically distributed radially.

[0053] The first and second thrusters are used to output attitude control force according to the set rotational attitude control strategy, so as to achieve complete decoupling of the roll channel.

[0054] The set rotational attitude control strategy includes five control positions: neutral position, positive pitch control position, negative pitch control position, positive yaw control position, and negative yaw control position. The first and second thrusters do not output attitude control force when in the neutral position, output positive pitch attitude control force when in the positive pitch control position, output negative pitch attitude control force when in the negative pitch control position, output positive yaw attitude control force when in the positive yaw control position, and output negative yaw attitude control force when in the negative yaw control position.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the first mounting surface is arranged at the bisector of the angle between the first and fourth quadrants of the longitudinal section of the aircraft, and the second mounting surface is arranged at the bisector of the angle between the second and third quadrants of the longitudinal section of the aircraft.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, both the first thruster and the second thruster are rotary servo thrusters.

[0057] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a dual-thruster rotational attitude control method is provided. The following is in conjunction with... Figure 2 This application describes a dual-thruster rotational attitude control method provided in its embodiments.

[0058] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an optional dual-thruster rotational attitude control method provided in an embodiment of this application. It is applied to a dual-thruster rotational attitude control system, which includes a first thruster and a second thruster arranged radially symmetrically, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the process of this method may include the following steps:

[0059] S102, receive attitude control command, and switch the rotation attitude control strategy of the first thruster and the second thruster according to the set rotation attitude control strategy to achieve complete decoupling of the roll channel and obtain position information.

[0060] The set rotational attitude control strategy includes a static decoupling control method for the roll channel and a roll torque application method for the roll channel.

[0061] The static decoupling control method for the roll channel includes: fixing the output attitude control force according to a set rotation attitude control strategy. The roll channel roll torque application method includes: rotating according to the set rotation attitude control strategy. It measures the angle and outputs the attitude control force.

[0062] S104, based on the location information, the sensitive attitude change information is sent to the console computer.

[0063] The dual-thrust rotary attitude control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to a dual-thrust rotary attitude control system. For example... Figure 1As shown, the dual-thruster rotational attitude control system involved in this embodiment consists of two sets of rotary servo thrusters arranged radially symmetrically in the thrust output direction. The system includes: two sets of rotary servo thrusters arranged radially in the thrust output direction, wherein the rotary servo thrusters can be controlled by servo motors according to instructions to control the thrust output azimuth angle.

[0064] In one embodiment, the rotary servo thruster can be controlled by a servo motor according to instructions to output the thrust azimuth angle. The required attitude control force is generated by the combination of the azimuth angles of the two rotary servo thrusters. The first thruster is arranged at a position 45° off the fourth quadrant of the longitudinal section of the flight body, with a median azimuth angle of -45° and a motion angle range of -180° to 90°. The second thruster is arranged at a position 45° off the third quadrant of the longitudinal section of the flight body, with a median azimuth angle of 135° and a motion angle range of 0° to 270°.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, the dual-thrust rotational attitude control system of this application is designed with five rotational attitude control strategies, including neutral position, positive pitch control position, negative pitch control position, positive yaw control position, and negative yaw control position. The thruster does not output attitude control force in the neutral position, outputs positive pitch attitude control force in the positive pitch control position, outputs negative pitch attitude control force in the negative pitch control position, outputs positive yaw attitude control force in the positive yaw control position, and outputs negative yaw attitude control force in the negative yaw control position.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the static decoupling control method of the roll channel in the dual-thruster rotation attitude control method provided by the present invention is as follows: under five rotation attitude control strategies, the azimuth angle of the rotation servo thruster is as follows, that is, the torque generated by the two sets of rotation servo thrusters on the roll channel can be completely canceled out.

[0067] Specifically, the self-control force is fixed according to the set rotational attitude control strategy, including:

[0068] Center position: The azimuth angle of the first thruster is -45°, and the azimuth angle of the second thruster is 135°;

[0069] Positive pitch control positions: first thruster azimuth angle is -90°, second thruster azimuth angle is 270°;

[0070] Negative pitch control position: first thruster azimuth angle is 90°, second thruster azimuth angle is 90°;

[0071] Positive yaw control position: first thruster azimuth angle is 0°, second thruster azimuth angle is 0°;

[0072] Negative yaw control positions: first thruster azimuth angle is -180°, second thruster azimuth angle is 180°.

[0073] The method for applying the rolling torque in the rolling channel is based on five rotational attitude control strategies, using angle increments. This is to achieve the application of roll control torque. For example... Figure 4 As shown, by adjusting the azimuth angle of the rotary servo thruster I... azimuth angle of the second thruster azimuth increment Servo control is performed, and the yaw attitude control force is calculated according to the formula based on the rated output force F0 of the rotary servo thruster. Pitch control This achieves decoupling of the pitch, yaw, and roll channels, enabling servo control of pitch and yaw attitude control forces while maintaining roll torque balance. It can also output combined pitch and yaw attitude control forces, achieving multi-channel composite control of the attitude control system. It should be noted that the angle increment... Its value is determined based on the ratio of the aircraft's roll inertia to its pitch and yaw inertia, as well as the roll channel adjustment response speed factor, and is generally in the range of 5° to 20°.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the roll channel control torque application method, based on five rotational attitude control strategies, uses angle increments... To achieve the application of roll control torque, the specific control strategy is as follows: during positive roll control, the azimuth angle of the first thruster decreases based on the five rotational attitude control strategies. The second thruster increases its azimuth angle based on five rotational attitude control strategies. During negative roll control, the azimuth angle of the first thruster increases based on the five rotational attitude control strategies. The second thruster reduces its azimuth angle based on five rotational attitude control strategies. angular increment Its value is determined based on the ratio of the aircraft's roll inertia to its pitch and yaw inertia, as well as the roll channel adjustment response speed factor, and is generally in the range of 5° to 20°.

[0075] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown in the simulation curve, when switching from neutral to positive yaw, the maximum value of the roll control torque curve of the conventional control scheme is 0.78. According to the dual-thruster rotational attitude control method strategy of the present invention, the maximum equivalent rolling torque during the switching process is -10×10⁻¹⁵. This proves that the rolling torque at any point remains in equilibrium.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment, the rotational attitude control strategy set in the dual-thruster rotational attitude control method provided by the present invention further includes: a roll channel dynamic decoupling control method, which includes:

[0077] Mid-position to positive pitch control position switching strategy: During the first 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to -135°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 225°; during the last 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -135° to -90°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 225° to 270°.

[0078] The strategy for switching from positive pitch to mid-position control: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -90° to -135°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 270° to 225°; During the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -135° to -45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 225° to 135°.

[0079] Mid-position to negative pitch control position switching strategy: During the first 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 45°; during the last 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 90°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 90°.

[0080] Negative pitch to mid-position control position switching strategy: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 90° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 90° to 45°; during the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to -45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 135°.

[0081] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0082] Mid-position to positive yaw control position switching strategy: During the first 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 45°; during the last 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 0°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 0°.

[0083] The yaw mid-position control switching strategy is as follows: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves from 0° to 45° at a constant speed; the second thruster moves from 0° to 45° at a constant speed. During the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves from 45° to -45° at a constant speed; the second thruster moves from 45° to 135° at a constant speed.

[0084] Mid-position to negative yaw control position switching strategy: During the first 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to -135°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 225°; During the last 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -135° to -180°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 225° to 180°.

[0085] Negative yaw heading center position switching strategy: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -180° to -135°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 180° to 225°; during the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -135° to -45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 225° to 135°.

[0086] Specifically, the dynamic decoupling control method for the roll channel is to switch between five rotational attitude control strategies according to a specific strategy. That is, during the dynamic switching process, the torque generated by the two sets of rotational servo thrusters on the roll channel can be completely canceled at all times.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, the mid-position to positive yaw control position switching strategy is as follows: During the first 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 45°; during the last 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 0°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 0°.

[0088] That is, the angular motion law of thruster I during the time interval 0 to t1 is as follows:

[0089]

[0091]

[0092] As can be seen from the formula, during the time interval 0 to t1, the rolling torque of the rotary servo dual thruster attitude control system remains balanced from the neutral position to the positive yaw position.

During the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves from 45° to -45° at a constant speed; the second thruster moves from 45° to 135° at a constant speed. This strategy is a trajectory retracing from mid-position to positive yaw, which can also ensure the balance of rolling torque at any point.

[0100] The negative yaw mid-position control switching strategy is as follows: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -180° to -135°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 180° to 225°; during the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -135° to -45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 225° to 135°.

[0109] The angular motion law of thruster I is as follows:

[0110]

[0111] The angular motion law of thruster II is as follows:

[0112]

[0113] The strategy for switching from mid-position to negative pitch control position is as follows: During the first two-thirds of the switching motion, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from -45° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 135° to 45°; during the last one-third of the switching motion, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 90°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 90°.

[0114] Negative pitch to mid-position control position switching strategy: During the first 1 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 90° to 45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 90° to 45°; during the latter 2 / 3 of the switching motion time, the first thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to -45°; the second thruster moves at a constant speed from 45° to 135°.
