Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high-performance aircraft radome, and particularly relates to a modeling method for a non-rotary airborne radar radome. Background Art

[0002] As the "goggles" of an airborne radar, a radome is a key structure for improving the aerodynamic shape of an aircraft carrier and protecting the radar to work properly in harsh environments.

[0003] Typical airborne radar radomes generally have a streamlined, nose-cone-shaped rotary surface. The new-generation airborne radar radome has gradually evolved into a non-rotary surface like a duckbill. The sharp leading-edge surface design will endow the aircraft with more excellent stealth performance and more ideal aerodynamic shape. At present, the vast majority of existing literature on non-rotary airborne radar radomes focuses on directions such as material preparation, simulation analysis, and processing technology. The digital model is the basis for related research on airborne radar radomes.

[0055] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0056] Traditional airborne radar radomes generally have a regular rotary shape. Usually, the generatrix is defined by standard external shape equations such as conical evolution shape, tangent egg shape, and Hack shape, or discrete data points, and then the entire radome body is defined through feature operations such as rotation and shelling based on the generatrix. For the new generation of airborne radar radomes, in order to greatly reduce the wind resistance and improve the aerodynamic and stealth characteristics of the radome, they are generally designed as irregular non-rotary shapes, usually symmetric left and right and asymmetric up and down. For example, the forward edge of a certain airborne radar radome is designed with a sharp edge, and the upper and lower surfaces have a small upper diameter and a large lower diameter, presenting a duckbill shape.

[0057] When establishing a digital model of a non-rotary airborne radar radome, it is necessary to ensure that the flow lines at each part of the surface are accurate. Therefore, it is more difficult compared to the rotary surface where the surface model can be constructed simply by rotating the generatrix.

[0058] In order to accurately create a digital model of a non-rotary airborne radar radome, so that the finally designed radome product can meet the initial designed electrical performance indicators in the actual application environment, the embodiment of the present invention provides a modeling method for a non-rotary airborne radar radome, as Figure 1 shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0059] S10. Configure the surface and perform solid modeling on the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome to obtain a reconstructed digital model of the non-rotary airborne radar radome.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple specific implementation methods for configuring the surface of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome.

[0061] Exemplarily, in one implementation method, according to the aerodynamic surface design parameters of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome given, the surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome can be directly constructed in the simulation software, and then the solid modeling of the non-rotary airborne radar radome can be carried out based on the reconstructed surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome. In another implementation method, configuring the surface and performing solid modeling on the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome may include the following steps S101 to S103:

[0062] S101. Obtain the point cloud data of the solid surface of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome.

[0063] Here, the point cloud data of the solid surface of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome includes the three-dimensional coordinates of multiple points on the solid surface of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome.

[0064] S102. Reconstruct the surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the point cloud data.

[0065] Specifically, the following steps S1021 to S1024 are involved in the surface reconstruction of a non-rotary airborne radar radome based on point cloud data.

[0066] S1021. Obtain the three views of the non-rotary airborne radar radome and construct a wireframe model of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the three views.

[0067] Specifically, according to the basic dimensional parameters of the aircraft entity carrying the airborne radar, extract the three main views of the outer surface contour of its airborne radar radome at a certain ratio (for example, 1:10): the front view, the side view, and the top view, as shown in subfigures (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 2 respectively; based on the three views of the airborne radar radome, perform boundary expression on the aircraft radome to obtain the wireframe model of the aircraft radome as shown in subfigure (d) of Figure 2 respectively.

[0068] Among them, as shown in subfigure (d) of Figure 2 , the wireframe model includes: two port configuration lines C1 and C2, two surface edge guiding lines L c and L d , the upper surface ridge line guiding line L a and the lower surface ridge line guiding line L b . Among them, the overall shape of each cross-section of the radome surface is controlled by C1 and C2, and the shape details of each part of the upper and lower surfaces can be controlled by the surface edge guiding lines L c , L d and the upper and lower surface ridge line guiding lines L a , L b . Specifically, the surface edge guiding lines L c , L d control the design shape change of the sharp leading edge of the surface, and the upper and lower surface ridge line guiding lines L a , L b control the overall curvature change of the upper and lower surfaces.

[0069] S1022. Extract the point cloud data of the surface configuration lines and surface guiding lines of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the wireframe model.

[0070] Specifically, from all the point cloud data obtained in step S101, extract the point cloud data located at the surface configuration lines and surface guiding lines of the non-rotary airborne radar radome. Here, the surface configuration lines include two port configuration lines C1 and C2; the surface guiding lines include two surface edge guiding lines L c and L d , the upper surface ridge line guiding line L a and the lower surface ridge line guiding line L b .

[0071] The point cloud data of the surface configuration line and the surface guiding line of a non-rotary airborne radar radome are schematically shown in Table 1.

[0074] S1023. Reconstruct the port configuration line and the surface guiding line of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the point cloud data of the surface configuration line and the surface guiding line.

[0075] Specifically, in one implementation, reconstructing the port configuration line and the surface guiding line of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the point cloud data of the surface configuration line and the surface guiding line may include: reconstructing C1 and C2 based on the point cloud data of C1 and C2, and based on L c 、L d 、L a and L b respectively reconstruct L c 、L d 、L a 、L b .

[0076] In another implementation, reconstructing the port configuration line and the surface guiding line of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the point cloud data of the surface configuration line and the surface guiding line may include: reconstructing C1 and C2 based on the point cloud data of C1 and C2, and based on C1, C2, L c 、L d 、L a and L b respectively reconstruct L c 、L d 、L a 、L b and multiple L n . Here, L n is an additional surface guiding line; the additional surface guiding line includes the surface guiding lines on both sides of L a and the surface guiding lines on both sides of L b , and these additional surface guiding lines and L a 、L b are all connected to the port configuration line at one end and converge at the tips of the upper and lower surfaces at the other end. By increasing the number of the upper and lower surface ridge line guiding lines L n , the curvature of each part of the upper and lower surfaces can be controlled more precisely, and the accurate characterization of the non-rotary surface of the airborne radar radome can be realized.

[0077] Thus, the surface S of the non-rotary airborne radar radome can be characterized by the following equation:

[0078] S = α * C1 + C2 + β * (L a + L b + … + L n ));

[0079] In this formula, both α and β are scale factors.

[0080] Figure 3 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of reconstructing the port configuration line and the surface guiding line of a non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the point cloud data of the surface configuration line and the surface guiding line. The discrete points therein are the points whose three-dimensional coordinates can be obtained through step S101. Based on these discrete points, the complete port configuration line and the surface guiding line can be reconstructed under the guidance of the wireframe model.

[0081] S1024. Using the port configuration line as the cross-sectional shape control curve and the surface guiding line as the surface shape control curve, reconstruct the surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome by using the multi-section surface construction method.

[0082] Specifically, construct a multi-section surface based on the port configuration line and the surface guiding line to generate the upper surface and the lower surface as shown in Figure 4 . Perform cavity construction on the surface to obtain a cavity model, and perform a Boolean operation on the cavity model and the base model ( Figure 4 ), and finally generate the surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome as shown in the sub-figure (c) of Figure 5 .

[0083] In addition, after reconstructing the surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome, the reconstructed surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome can also be edited and optimized so that the optimized surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome conforms to the basic shape of the non-rotary surface airborne radar radome entity; then, check the geometric dimensions and functions of the optimized surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome to ensure the model accuracy.

[0084] S103. Perform solid modeling of the non-rotary airborne radar radome based on the reconstructed surface of the non-rotary airborne radar radome.

[0085] That is, realize the solid modeling of the radome with the radome surface as the reference to form a digital model of the non-rotary airborne radar radome.

[0086] In a specific example, based on the point cloud data shown in Table 2 below, the constructed digital model of the non-rotary airborne radar radome is as shown in Figure 6 .

[0089] S20. Generate a frequency selective surface for a non-rotational airborne radar radome based on the digital model of the non-rotational airborne radar radome.

[0090] It can be understood that for the surface of a rotational airborne radar radome, in the same latitudinal plane, the central coordinates of each frequency selective unit can be calculated through the polar coordinate system. However, for the surface of a non-rotational airborne radar radome, the curvature changes at different points along the same latitude line, making it difficult to calculate the central coordinates of each frequency selective unit.

[0091] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, generating a frequency selective surface for a non-rotational airborne radar radome based on the digital model of the non-rotational airborne radar radome includes the following steps S201 to S203:

[0092] S201. Determine the starting positions of each frequency selection period on the profile edge guiding line of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface.

[0093] Specifically, referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is the plane determined by the profile edge guiding line L c of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface and L d . Determine the starting positions of each frequency selection period on the profile edge guiding line (L c or L d ) of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface, including the following steps S2011 to S2014:

[0094] S2011. Mark the first auxiliary point P1 and the second auxiliary point P2 on the center line L m of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface.

[0095] Here, the first auxiliary point P1 is determined according to the distance between the starting position of frequency selection on the center line L m and the vertex P0 of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface, and the second auxiliary point P2 is determined according to the distance between the cut-off position of frequency selection on the center line L m and the center point P3 of the end face of the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface; in practice, the distance between the starting position of frequency selection on the center line L m and P0, as well as the distance between the cut-off position of frequency selection on the center line L m and P3 are given by the designer of the airborne radar radome.

[0096] S2012. Project P1 and P2 along the normal direction of the center line L m onto the profile edge guiding line (L c or L d ), and obtain the profile edge guiding line (L cor L d ) on the frequency selection starting position P1' and the frequency selection ending position P2'.

[0097] S2013. Determine the number of frequency selection cycles according to the line length between P1' and P2' on the surface edge guide line.

[0098] Specifically, use the line length between P1' and P2' on the edge of the surface guide line Divide by the spacing D between the start positions of the frequency selection cycle y , and the calculation results Round off to get the frequency selection cycle number Num' y .

[0099] S2014. Determine the starting position of each frequency selection period on the surface edge guide line according to the number of frequency selection periods.

[0100] Specifically, P1' is used as the reference point of the starting position of the frequency selection cycle, and D y To select the spacing between frequency cycles, you can guide the line L on the edge of the surface. c Determine the starting position N of each frequency selection cycle in turn i , 1≤i≤Num' y .

[0101] S202: constructing an isoparametric curve parallel to a port configuration line of the non-rotating airborne radar radome surface on the surface of the non-rotating airborne radar radome surface according to the starting position of each frequency selection period.

[0102] Specifically, the frequency selection units are usually arranged on the non-expandable surface in a certain spatial pattern to achieve wave transmission and filtering in a specific frequency band. On a non-expandable non-rotating surface such as a non-rotating airborne radar radome, the frequency selection units can be arranged by constructing an isoparametric curve parallel to the port configuration lines C1 and C2 on the surface of the radome as an auxiliary line. The isoparametric curve is a graph presented by the dependent variable when all parameters in the same system remain unchanged and the curve only changes with the independent variable. In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide line L on the edge of the surface is used as an auxiliary line. c or L d The starting position of the frequency selection cycle determined above is the independent variable of the isoparametric curve, and the tangent direction of the upper and lower surfaces of the radome at the starting position of each frequency selection cycle is used as the constant parameter to construct the isoparametric curve, as shown in the figure: Figure 8 shown.

[0103] S203 : Determine the number of frequency selection units and the center position of each frequency selection unit according to the starting position of each frequency selection period on the surface edge guide line and each isoparametric curve.

[0104] Specifically, according to the starting positions of each frequency selection period on the guiding line of the shaped surface edge and each isoparametric curve, the number of frequency selection units and the central positions of each frequency selection unit are determined, including S2031 to S2032:

[0105] S2031. For each isoparametric curve, divide its length l i by the array spacing D of the frequency selection units x , and round the calculation result to obtain the number of frequency selection units on this isoparametric curve.

[0106] See Figure 8 , let the isoparametric curve determined with point N i as the independent variable be Measure the curve length of the isoparametric curve as l i . Assume that the array spacing of the frequency selection units on the same latitude is D x . From D x and l i , the theoretical number of frequency selection units on the isoparametric curve can be obtained as:

[0107]

[0108] Then, take as the integer quantity of , and use as the actual number of frequency selection units on the isoparametric curve .

[0109] S2032. According to the starting positions of each frequency selection period on the guiding line of the shaped surface edge and the number of frequency selection units on each isoparametric curve, determine the number of frequency selection units and the central positions of each frequency selection unit.

[0110] Specifically, given the theoretical number of frequency selection units on the isoparametric curve , then the actual distance between the centers of each frequency selection unit on the isoparametric curve is:

[0112] Thus, taking the starting points N c of each frequency selection period on the guiding line L i of the shaped surface edge as the array reference points for the corresponding frequency selection units, and using as the array spacing, perform unit division on the non-rotary airborne radar radome shaped surface. Thus, the number of frequency selection units and the central positions of each frequency selection unit can be determined, as shown in Figure 8 .

[0113] S204. Generate a frequency selective surface of a non-rotational airborne radar radome according to the central positions of the respective frequency selection units.

[0114] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 , for the central position of each frequency selection unit, make a tangent plane of the non-rotational metal frequency selection base surface of the digital model of the non-rotational airborne radar radome through this central position, perform plane modeling of the frequency selection unit on this tangent plane to obtain a plane model, and then map the modeled plane frequency selection unit to this non-rotational metal frequency selection layer base, that is, first map from the plane model to the space model, and then map the space model to the non-rotational metal frequency selection layer base, so as to obtain a non-rotational frequency selection unit (FSS model); this mapping process is as Figure 9 shown. Thus, when all the frequency selection units are mapped to the non-rotational metal frequency selection layer base, the frequency selective surface of the non-rotational airborne radar radome can be obtained.

[0115] In a specific example, based on the point cloud data shown in Table 3, the constructed digital model of the non-rotational airborne radar radome and the frequency selective surface of the non-rotational airborne radar radome are as Figure 10 shown.

[0119] In summary, the non-rotational airborne radar radome modeling method provided by the present invention first performs surface configuration on the non-rotational surface airborne radar radome to obtain a reconstructed non-rotational airborne radar radome surface, and then generates a frequency selective surface of the non-rotational airborne radar radome based on the non-rotational airborne radar radome surface. Compared with the existing design method for non-rotational airborne radar radomes that generally expands based on an ideal digital model with an infinite loading plane and an infinitely thin loading metal layer, the present invention effectively improves the modeling accuracy of non-rotational airborne radar radomes. The non-rotational airborne radar radome modeling method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be widely applied to the creation of digital models of non-rotational FSS radomes for aircraft platforms, and can enable the finally designed radome products to meet the initially designed electrical performance indicators in the actual application environment.
