Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of projectile attitude testing, and particularly relates to a projectile attitude testing device based on an accelerometer array. BACKGROUND
[0002] Projectile attitude testing is one of the key technologies for improving the performance of modern weapon equipment. Projectile attitude testing can significantly improve trajectory accuracy and target hit rate, optimize flight control systems, enhance the adaptability of the system to complex environments, reduce system dependence and cost, and improve overall safety. Therefore, accurate measurement of projectile attitude is of great significance for the design and optimization of equipment in the fields of modern weapon systems and aerospace.
[0003] Traditional attitude measurement methods rely mainly on gyroscopes and other inertial sensors. However, these methods have significant limitations in high-g environments. Gyroscopes are prone to failure under severe impact, resulting in inaccurate measurement data and failing to meet the needs of high-precision testing. In addition, existing testing devices often have complex structures, making it difficult to achieve effective anti-interference and data protection in practical applications. The lack of attitude data of projectiles in high-g environments has seriously hindered the rapid development of modern weapon systems. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct in-depth research on the attitude testing technology of projectiles in high-g environments
[0004] CN103411613A discloses a "projectile-borne penetration attitude solving device based on a combination of geomagnetic / micro-inertial information". The projectile-borne penetration attitude solving device mainly consists of a geomagnetic / micro-inertial measurement combination unit, a storage solving unit, and a buffer protection device. The projectile attitude is obtained by solving the information collected by the three-axis gyroscope and three-axis geomagnetic sensor. Currently, the anti-high-g three-axis gyroscope technology is not mature, and there may be failure problems during testing, affecting the reliability and stability of the test. The buffer protection device uses multi-layer foam metal buffering, which has poor reusability, and the wiring hole position has no special protection. The cable is prone to breakage when impacted.

[0020] In combination with Figure 1 A projectile attitude test device based on an accelerometer array, comprising a storage circuit 10, an accelerometer array 6 and a mounting protection device.
[0021] The mounting protection device comprises a shell 2, a front end cover 3, a rear end cover 4, a data line cover plate 5, an inner cylinder 8, an inner cylinder end cover 9 and a plurality of struts 7. The shell 2 is a rotary body, which is composed of three cylinders with increasing outer diameters from front to back, namely a first cylinder, a second cylinder and a third cylinder. The outer wall of the second cylinder is provided with threads for cooperation and fixed connection with the tail of the projectile 1. A partition ring is arranged between the first cylinder and the second cylinder. Two three-axis acceleration sensors with the same diameter are arranged in the first cylinder. The front end cover 3 is fixed on the front end face of the first cylinder by threads. The inner cylinder 8 is connected to the rear end face of the partition ring through a plurality of struts 7. The storage circuit 10 is arranged in the inner cylinder 8. The inner cylinder end cover 9 is fixedly connected with the rear end face of the inner cylinder 8. The rear end cover 4 is fixedly connected with the third cylinder by eight bolts. The remaining two three-axis acceleration sensors are fixed on the front end face of the rear end cover 4. There is a gap between the three-axis acceleration sensors and the inner cylinder end cover 9. A three-step hole with decreasing diameters is formed along the central axis of the rear end cover 4 from back to front, namely a first step hole, a second step hole and a third step hole. The second step hole is used for storing data lines. The data line cover plate 5 is fixedly connected with the first step hole by four bolts. The third step hole is used for wiring. The shell 2, the inner cylinder 8 and the inner cylinder end cover 9 are all provided with wiring holes. The cables of the four three-axis acceleration sensors are connected to the storage circuit 10 through the wiring holes. The data reading line is led from the storage circuit 10 to the second step hole through the wiring hole. This design shortens the wiring stroke and facilitates data reading and input.
[0022] The accelerometer array 6 comprises four three-axis acceleration sensors which are cross-distributed at the center of the assembly, as shown in Figure 2 The positions and directions of the four three-axis acceleration sensors in the accelerometer array 6 are represented by A1, A2, …, A12. The directions of the three axes of each three-axis acceleration sensor are perpendicular to each other. The distance between the measurement centers of the two three-axis acceleration sensors on the rear end cover 4 is the diameter of a circle, which is l. The directions of two axes of each three-axis acceleration sensor on the rear end cover 4 coincide with two adjacent sides of a square inscribed in the circle. The direction of the third axis of each three-axis acceleration sensor is perpendicular to the directions of the other two axes. The inner square is projected onto the front end face of the partition ring from back to front along the central axis of the shell 2 to form a projection square. The positions of the measurement centers of the two three-axis acceleration sensors in the first cylinder coincide with the opposite corners of the projection square. The radial directions of the two three-axis acceleration sensors in the first cylinder and the radial directions of the two three-axis acceleration sensors on the rear end cover 4 are in different planes and perpendicular to each other. The directions of two axes of each three-axis acceleration sensor in the first cylinder coincide with two adjacent sides of the projection square. The direction of the third axis of each three-axis acceleration sensor is perpendicular to the directions of the other two axes. The distance between the front end face of the partition ring and the front end face of the rear end cover 4 is L, and L≥l.
[0023] This specific sensor arrangement has the significant advantage of a compact structure and effectively reduces the impact of sensor output errors on the calculated attitude, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test data.
[0024] The protective device is installed and fixedly connected to the tail of the projectile 1 to form an assembly. By adjusting the counterweight, the center of mass of the assembly is made to coincide with the midpoint of the line connecting the center of the inscribed square and the center of the projected square.
[0025] To enhance the internal circuit's overload resistance, the present invention employs a double-layer potting process, encompassing both the interior of inner tube 8 and the area between inner tube 8 and outer shell 2. This effectively resists various external shocks and overloads, ensuring the stability and reliability of the circuit testing system under extreme conditions. This design not only protects against transient high overloads in a variety of complex environments, but also significantly enhances the accuracy of the projectile during posture testing.
