[0002] In modern joint operations, it is often necessary to use aircraft to bomb targets; the bombs dropped by the aircraft are the separation bodies. Generally, for separation body structures, it is necessary to study the loads and responses during the separation process. Typically, such tests are conducted using free-flight tests, that is, by optically measuring the attitude and response of the separation structure during the actual separation process.

[0003] However, traditional model devices have the following shortcomings:

[0004] (1) In free flight tests, it is impossible to attach sensors to the separated body, making it difficult to measure the load and dynamic response of the separated body.

[0005] (2) During the test of the separated object, the dwell time at each position of the separated body is short, which is not conducive to a detailed study of the load and dynamic response at a certain position.

[0006] (3) The falling of the separator will damage the separator structure, increase the test cost, and may also damage the wind tunnel. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a separation and positioning mechanism for a separator and a method for adjusting the position of a separator, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjusting plate has a positioning hole at a position away from the separating body, and an adjusting waist hole at a position close to the separating body.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a positioning bolt and a locking bolt, the positioning hole is connected to the front fixed waist hole through the positioning bolt, and the adjusting waist hole is connected to the rear fixed waist hole through the locking bolt.

[0016] Furthermore, the contact surface between the adjusting plate and the connecting plate is coplanar with the symmetry plane of the connecting frame, and the axis of the separating body is coplanar with the symmetry plane of the connecting frame.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for adjusting the position of a separator, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1, Analyze the position of the separated body, determine the position X1 of the positioning bolt in the front fixing waist hole based on the position of the extended line of the tail end of the separated body, and tighten the positioning bolt in the front fixing waist hole;

[0019] S2, analyze the angle of attack α of the separated body, according to

[0020] X2=tanα*l+X1

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figures 1-9 As shown:

[0042] A separation and positioning mechanism for a separator includes an aircraft model 1 fixed to the root of a wind tunnel support rod 2. The aircraft model 1 and the wind tunnel support rod 2 are coaxially arranged. A connecting plate 32 is detachably installed on the wind tunnel support rod 2 near the aircraft model 1. A separator 6 that rotates in a vertical plane and is located directly below the aircraft model 1 is connected to the connecting plate 32. A locking mechanism is provided between the connecting plate 32 and the separator 6.

[0043] The base of the wind tunnel support rod 2 is detachably connected to the aircraft model 1 via fixing bolts or fixing keys.

[0044] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a concave connecting frame 31 is provided on the top of the connecting plate 32, and the connecting frame 31 is detachably connected to the wind tunnel support rod 2 by fixing bolts.

[0045] The connecting plate 32 is vertically installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 31, and one surface of the connecting plate 32 is coplanar with the symmetrical plane of the connecting frame 31.

[0046] The connecting plate 32 has a front fixing waist hole 4 and a rear fixing waist hole 5 vertically arranged, and the front fixing waist hole 4 and the rear fixing waist hole 5 are arranged in parallel.

[0047] like Figures 1-3 and Figure 7 As shown, the end of the separator 6 near the connecting plate 32 is connected to an adjusting plate 71 via a connecting rod 72, and the adjusting plate 71 is connected to the connecting plate 32 via a locking mechanism.

[0048] The adjusting plate 71 has a positioning hole 712 at a position away from the separating body 6, and an adjusting waist hole 711 at a position close to the separating body 6.

[0049] The locking mechanism includes a positioning bolt 81 and a locking bolt 82. The positioning hole 712 is connected to the front fixed waist hole 4 through the positioning bolt 81, and the adjusting waist hole 711 is connected to the rear fixed waist hole 5 through the locking bolt 82.

[0050] The contact surface between the adjusting plate 71 and the connecting plate 32 is coplanar with the symmetry plane of the connecting frame 31, and the axis of the separating body 6 is coplanar with the symmetry plane of the connecting frame 31.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning bolt 81 and the locking bolt 82 are the same size. The thickness a of the connecting plate 32 should be greater than 6mm and located on one side of the axis of symmetry of the connecting frame 31. The length b of the connecting plate 32 is preferably 10cm-20cm. In this embodiment, the length b of the connecting plate 32 is 15cm. The length c of one end of the positioning bolt 81 and the locking bolt 82 protruding from the nut should be greater than 4mm.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the axial distance d between the front fixing waist hole 4 and the rear fixing waist hole 5 should not be less than 3cm; the opening length e of the front fixing waist hole 4 and the rear fixing waist hole 5 should not be less than 10cm.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, the opening length f of the adjusting waist hole 711 should be 1cm-2cm longer than the axial distance d between the front fixed waist hole 4 and the rear fixed waist hole 5; the diameter g of the positioning hole 712 and the opening height h of the adjusting waist hole 711 should be equal, and should be 1mm-2mm longer than the diameter of the positioning bolt 81 and the locking bolt 82.

[0054] All structures in this device are made of metal, and the elastic modulus of the connecting frame 31, connecting plate 32 and connecting rod 72 is not less than 200 GPa.

[0055] like Figure 9 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for adjusting the position of a separator, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1, Analyze the position of the separated body 6, determine the position X1 of the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4 by the position of the extended line of the tail end of the separated body 6, and tighten the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4.

[0057] S2, analyze the angle of attack α of the separated body 6, according to

[0058] X2=tanα*l+X1

[0059] Where: α represents the angle of attack of the separator 6, X1 represents the position of the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4, X2 represents the position of the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixed waist hole 5, and l represents the axial distance between the front fixed waist hole 4 and the rear fixed waist hole 5.

[0060] After determining the position X2 of the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5, move the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5 to that position and tighten the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5. After determining the position of the locking bolt 82, the positioning bolt 81 needs to be loosened first so that the separating body 6 can rotate and the locking bolt 82 can rotate to the determined position.

[0061] The angle of attack α of the separated body can be obtained using measuring instruments such as a 3D laser scanner and a coordinate measuring machine.

[0062] When using this device for testing, corresponding sensors can be fixed on the separated body 6 to measure the load and response of the separated body 6, and corresponding sensors can also be fixed on the aircraft model 1 to measure the load and response of the aircraft model 1.

[0063] During installation, first fix the wind tunnel support rod 2 to the wind tunnel, then use fixing bolts, fixing keys and other connectors to fix the aircraft model 1 and the connecting frame 3 to the wind tunnel support rod 2. Use fixing bolts, fixing keys and other connectors to fix the connecting rod 72 and the separator 6. Finally, according to the separator position adjustment method, use positioning bolts 81 and locking bolts 82 to fix the adjusting plate 71 to the front fixing waist hole 4 and the rear fixing waist hole 5 of the connecting plate 32.

[0064] The sensors include the following types: pulsating pressure sensors can measure the acoustic and vibration response of a structure; balance sensors can measure the aerodynamic forces and torques in various directions of a structure; acceleration sensors and displacement sensors can measure the frequency, mode shape, and other structural dynamic characteristics of a structure.

[0065] This invention facilitates multi-position adjustment of the separated body during the experiment by setting up a connecting plate and a locking mechanism. This is beneficial for detailed studies of the load and dynamic response of the separated body at a certain position, effectively replacing traditional free-flying vehicle tests that are inconvenient to study and measure, and avoiding increased test costs and damage to the wind tunnel.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] like Figure 10 As shown, in Example 1, the separator 6 is inclined downwards, while in this example, the separator 6 is inclined upwards.

[0068] This embodiment provides a method for adjusting the position of a separator, comprising the following steps:

[0069] S1, Analyze the position of the separated body 6, determine the position X1 of the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4 by the position of the extended line of the tail end of the separated body 6, and tighten the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4.

[0070] S2, analyze the angle of attack α of the separated body 6, according to

[0071] X2=X1-tanα*l

[0072] Where: α represents the angle of attack of the separator 6, X1 represents the position of the positioning bolt 81 in the front fixed waist hole 4, X2 represents the position of the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixed waist hole 5, and l represents the axial distance between the front fixed waist hole 4 and the rear fixed waist hole 5.

[0073] After determining the position X2 of the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5, move the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5 to that position and tighten the locking bolt 82 in the rear fixing waist hole 5. After determining the position of the locking bolt 82, the positioning bolt 81 needs to be loosened first so that the separating body 6 can rotate and the locking bolt 82 can rotate to the determined position.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
