Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0033] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1 to Figure 2 This application is described in further detail.

[0035] The first aspect of the present application provides an aircraft control surface instruction anti-saturation method based on integrator polarity protection, comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step 1: taking the forward channel command and the proportional channel command of the flight control law as input signals, adding the forward channel command and the proportional channel command, and passing through a first limiter to obtain a forward-proportional channel output command sum;

[0037] Step 2: Taking the integral channel command of the flight control law as input, summing the integral channel command and the forward-proportional channel output command, and multiplying by the gain after passing through the dead zone to obtain the control surface anti-saturation command;

[0038] Step 3: Introduce the control surface anti-saturation command into the integral channel input terminal, and calculate the integral channel command of the flight control law in real time;

[0039] Step 4: Add the forward channel command, proportional channel command, and integral channel command of the flight control law, and pass them through the second limiter to obtain the control surface command.

[0040] The anti-saturation method of aircraft rudder instructions based on integrator polarity protection of the present application takes the forward channel instruction, proportional channel instruction, and integral channel instruction of the flight control law as input, calculates the anti-saturation instruction in real time, and then introduces the anti-saturation instruction to the integral channel input end and calculates the rudder instruction. It not only ensures that the aircraft's rudder instruction will not exceed the rudder limit value, but also solves the problem of the pilot's control and the rudder instruction output not being consistent. It further ensures the followability of the input instruction and the aircraft response when the pilot controls the aircraft, and reduces the possibility of the aircraft experiencing pilot-induced oscillation.

[0041] Specifically, in step 1, the forward channel command and the proportional channel command of the flight control law are used as input signals, and the two are added and passed through the first limiter to form the forward-proportional channel command sum for anti-saturation command calculation. Among them, the upper and lower limits of the first limiter are the limit values ​​of the rudder command. The limiter is used to ensure that the forward-proportional channel command sum will not exceed the rudder command limit, and the command sum is used for subsequent calculation of the anti-saturation command.

[0042] In step 2, the integral channel command of the flight control law is used as input, and it is added to the forward-proportional channel output command and multiplied by the gain after passing through the dead zone to obtain the rudder anti-saturation command. The upper and lower limits of the dead zone are also the limit values ​​of the rudder command. Since the forward-proportional channel command and will not exceed the rudder command limit, the rudder anti-saturation command is only formed by the integral channel command that exceeds the rudder command limit.

[0043] In step three, the rudder anti-saturation instruction is introduced into the integral channel input, and the integral channel instruction of the flight control law is calculated in real time. At the same time, the input signal integral channel control amount is also introduced into the integral channel input. Since the anti-saturation instruction is only formed by the integral channel instruction that exceeds the rudder limit, the anti-saturation instruction will reduce the integral channel instruction. As the integral channel instruction decreases, the anti-saturation instruction also decreases. When the integral channel instruction is 0, the anti-saturation instruction is also 0, so it will not cause the integral channel to output a reverse instruction, thereby avoiding the problem of the integral channel instruction being reversed due to the anti-saturation of the rudder instruction.

[0044] In step 4, the forward channel command, proportional channel command, and integral channel command of the flight control law are added and passed through the second limiter to obtain the control surface command. The control surface command obtained strictly follows the pilot's manipulation.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, among them: the forward channel instruction of the input signal control law is (ELVT_DIR); the proportional channel instruction of the input signal control law is (ELVT_POS); the integral channel instruction of the control law is (ELVT_INT); the maximum positive limit of the rudder limit is (LIM_ELVT_U); the maximum negative limit of the rudder limit is (LIM_ELVT_D); the anti-saturation instruction calculation gain coefficient is (K_ANTI); the output signal anti-saturation instruction is (INT_ANTI_WU_VALUE). The maximum positive limit of the rudder limit (LIM_ELVT_U) and the maximum negative limit of the rudder limit (LIM_ELVT_D) are used for the limiter and dead zone limit values.

[0046] First, add the forward channel command (ELVT_DIR) and the proportional channel command (ELVT_POS) of the control law, and then add them to the integral channel command (ELVT_INT) of the control law after being limited by the limiter with the maximum positive limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_U) and the maximum negative limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_D) as inputs. Then, after being limited by the dead zone with the maximum positive limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_U) and the maximum negative limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_D) as inputs, they are multiplied by the anti-saturation command calculation gain (K_ANTI) to obtain the anti-saturation command (INT_ANTI_WU_VALUE).

[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, among them: the forward channel instruction of the input signal control law is (ELVT_DIR); the proportional channel instruction of the input signal control law is (ELVT_POS); the input signal integral channel control amount is (INT_CMD); the input signal anti-saturation instruction is (INT_ANTI_WU_VALUE); the integral channel instruction of the control law is (ELVT_INT); the maximum positive limit of the rudder is (LIM_ELVT_U); the maximum negative limit of the rudder is (LIM_ELVT_D); the output signal rudder instruction is (DE_CMD). The maximum positive limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_U) and the maximum negative limit of the rudder (LIM_ELVT_D) are used for the limiter limit value.

[0048] The calculated anti-saturation instruction (INT_ANTI_WU_VALUE) is introduced into the integral channel input end, and the calculated forward channel instruction (ELVT_DIR), proportional channel instruction (ELVT_POS) and integral channel instruction (ELVT_INT) of the control law are added together. After being limited by the limiter with the positive maximum value of the rudder limit (LIM_ELVT_U) and the negative maximum value of the rudder limit (LIM_ELVT_D) as input, the rudder instruction (DE_CMD) is obtained.

[0049] The aircraft rudder command anti-saturation method based on integrator polarity protection of the present application takes the forward, proportional, and integral channel commands of the flight control law as input, calculates the rudder anti-saturation command in real time, ensures that the output rudder command strictly follows the pilot's manipulation changes, and ensures that the actual response of the aircraft is consistent with the pilot's expected response. By limiting the size of the forward and proportional channel commands, the anti-saturation command is formed only by the integral channel command that exceeds the rudder command limit, avoiding the problem of the reverse of the integral channel command caused by the anti-saturation of the rudder command, ensuring that the command output polarity is always consistent with the pilot's manipulation polarity under the pilot's rapid and large-scale manipulation, avoiding the occurrence of unexpected phenomena. Through the above two advantages, the present application mainly realizes that the rudder command can change quickly and accurately with the manipulation input, so that the actual response of the aircraft is consistent with the pilot's expected response, reducing the possibility of the driver-induced oscillation phenomenon during the flight of the aircraft, and enhancing the flight safety of the aircraft.

[0052] A rudder anti-saturation instruction calculation module is used to take the integral channel instruction of the flight control law as input, add the integral channel instruction and the forward-proportional channel output instruction, and multiply by the gain after passing through the dead zone to obtain the rudder anti-saturation instruction;

[0053] An integral channel command calculation module is used to introduce the control surface anti-saturation command into the integral channel input end and calculate the integral channel command of the flight control law in real time;

[0054] The control surface instruction calculation module is used to add the forward channel instruction, proportional channel instruction and integral channel instruction of the flight control law and obtain the control surface instruction through the second limiter.

The upper and lower limits of the dead zone are the limit values ​​of the rudder command. The integral channel command calculation module also includes introducing the input signal integral channel control amount to the integral channel input terminal.
