Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft structure design, and more specifically, to a variable-sweep wing based on a flexible corrugated skin and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the flight of a cross-speed aircraft from high speed to low speed, the lift coefficient and flight pressure of the aircraft vary greatly; at the same time, with the consumption of fuel, the weight of the aircraft changes significantly, and the flight angle of attack after meeting the lift-to-weight balance deviates significantly from the designed maximum lift-to-drag ratio angle of attack, and the lift-to-drag ratio is seriously lost under the actual flight angle of attack; therefore, it is difficult to obtain the optimal lift-to-drag ratio in the entire flight profile by relying solely on single-point aerodynamic layout optimization, and the variant wing technology can realize the continuous adjustment of the aerodynamic shape with the flight trajectory, effectively solving the contradiction of the aerodynamic shape across the speed domain, thereby obtaining a higher available lift-to-drag ratio and improving the comprehensive aerodynamic performance of the aircraft.

[0003] Traditional aviation variant structures such as leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps are widely used in civil aircraft. This type of lift-enhancing device increases the lift of the wing by increasing the curvature of the wing airfoil and the area of ​​the entire wing. Although it can achieve the purpose of lift enhancement in the low-speed range, its large number of connection gaps, complex actuation mechanisms and small deformation are not suitable for low, supersonic and supersonic cross-speed flight. For variant wings in high-speed environments, current research is mainly focused on aerodynamic layout design and scheme exploration, and engineering applications are still rare. Variable-sweep wings can simultaneously change the wing area, sweep angle and wing span, and have good lift-to-drag ratio control capabilities. It is a very promising deformation method. However, in order to meet the requirements of high-speed cruising, high-performance metals or composite materials are usually used on the wing surface. Such skin materials are all rigid or inelastic materials. Therefore, most variable-sweep wings are currently rigid rotation deformations, with complex retraction and extension mechanisms, and occupy a large amount of fuselage space after retraction, which greatly reduces engineering practicality. That is, traditional variable geometry aircraft have problems such as complex structure / mechanism, heavy system weight, and large fuselage space occupation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0059] The flexible corrugated skin variable sweep wing proposed in the present invention mainly realizes the function that the wing sweep angle can be actively adjusted according to the flight state, which can meet the requirements of high-speed cruising of aircraft with large sweep angle ( Figure 1 ), low speed and horizontal recovery use small sweep angle ( Figure 2 ) needs, and has the characteristics of simple structure, light weight, and small fuselage space, and can provide technical support for the engineering application of cross-speed range aircraft.

[0060] Specifically, a flexible corrugated skin variable sweep wing mainly includes: a rigid edge strip 1, a flexible corrugated skin 2, a support assembly 3 of the flexible corrugated skin, a sealing mechanism I 4, a wing mounting seat 5 matched with the fuselage, a sealing mechanism II 6, a main rail 7, a secondary guide rail 8, a main rail slide groove 9, a secondary guide rail slide groove 10, etc.

[0061] 1. If Figure 3 , Figure 6 The rigid edge strip 1 shown can rotate around the rotating shaft 11 and transfer the load from the driving mechanism to the flexible corrugated skin 2, pulling the flexible corrugated skin 2 to deform. In actual applications, the flexible corrugated skin is arranged symmetrically in the upper and lower parts, and each flexible corrugated skin 2 includes a plurality of circular arc segments 23 and a plurality of straight line segments 24 connecting adjacent circular arc segments, and each flexible corrugated skin has a fixing portion 25 on both sides that cooperates with the wing mounting seat 5 and the rigid edge strip 1.

[0062] 2. If Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the support assembly 3 of the flexible corrugated skin is used to connect the flexible corrugated skin with the main rail 7 and the auxiliary rail 8. It can be set as one or more groups as needed to maintain the shape of the flexible corrugated skin and transfer the aerodynamic load on the skin to the main rail 7 and the auxiliary rail 8. The flexible corrugated skin support assembly connects the upper and lower skins through the upper and lower metal mounting strips 14, and transfers the load from the skin to the center rod 17 through the fixed shaft 15 and the connecting rod 16. The pulleys 18 are designed at both ends of the center rod, which can be nested in the main rail slide groove 9 and the auxiliary rail slide groove 10 of the main rail 9 and the auxiliary rail 10 to slide. The number and placement of the flexible corrugated skin support assembly can be selected based on the size of the aerodynamic load and the wing area. The specific number of support assemblies required is based on the specific usage scenario and is determined after analysis by engineering means. For example, the finite element analysis results may be at least 3 groups or at least 5 groups.

[0063] 3. If Figure 3 As shown, the sealing mechanism I (also called rigid fairing skin) 4 has the function of fairing and drag reduction, one side of which is fixed on the rigid side strip and can rotate with the rigid side strip, and the other side is covered inside the structure and can slide (that is, a cover plate 19 is provided on the wing mounting seat 5, and the sealing mechanism I 4 is slidably provided on the inner side of the cover plate 19 to ensure the effectiveness of sealing and telescopicity).

[0064] 4. If Figure 3 As shown, the sealing mechanism II (also called sealing plate) 6 is a two-section nested sliding structure, and its specific structure includes two sealing plates 20, which are respectively arranged on the wing mounting seat 5 and the rigid side strip 1, and the two sealing plates 20 are overlapped in space, one of which has a smaller slide plate 21, and the other has a slide groove 22 matched with the slide plate, which can provide sealing operation for the rear end of the wing.

[0065] 5. If Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism and measuring mechanism of the variable sweep are: the drive mechanism adopts a servo electric cylinder 12, and the measuring mechanism adopts a linear displacement sensor 13. The servo electric cylinder 12 is installed at a position far away from the rotating shaft 11, has a large driving torque, and has a self-locking function, which can realize the continuous change of the sweep angle within the adjustable range and lock it at any position, and can ensure the adjustment accuracy of the sweep angle. The linear displacement sensor 13 can transmit the monitored displacement change to the control system, thereby converting it into the change of the wing sweep angle to realize the control closed loop.

[0066] 6. If Figure 6 As shown, the main guide rail 7 and the auxiliary guide rail 8 are both internally and externally nested sliding structures, and are the main load-bearing components. They have the advantages of simple structure and light weight, and can both ensure the rigidity of the wing and constrain the rotational deformation direction of the wing. Example

[0067] In the design of the flexible corrugated skin, it is necessary to ensure that the deformation of the flexible corrugated skin and the wing frame is coordinated. When the wing is fully unfolded, all parts of the skin reach the maximum unfolded position at the same time. Therefore, the specific design method of the flexible corrugated skin is as follows:

[0068] 1. Determine the flexible corrugated skin layout area 26

[0069] ① Such as Figure 8 As shown, the position of the wing rotation axis 11 is determined.

[0070] ②According to the configuration output by the aerodynamic design, extract the required change in the wing sweep angle Δ Φ , and determine the angle occupied by the corrugated skin when the wing is fully retracted Φ 0 And the angle occupied by the corrugated skin in the fully expanded state Φ 1 , must meet Φ 1 - Φ 0 =Δ Φ At the same time, considering the limited flattening ability of the corrugated skin material, Φ 0 ≥2×Δ Φ Considering that the front end of the corrugated skin needs to be arranged with a rectifier skin, the radius of the arc at the front end of the corrugated skin is selected. R 1 , R 1 Take it as 25%-30% of the wing root chord length, that is R 1 The rear edge of the rigid fairing skin.

[0071] ③ Such as Fig. 9 As shown in Figure 1, considering the aerodynamic shape, load-bearing structure size and internal space requirements, the thickness of the corrugated skin design area should be less than 1 / 3 of the wing thickness, that is, t 1 ≤ T 1 / 3, t 2 ≤ T 2 / 3, t 1 and t 2 are the heights of the large and small ends of the corrugation arrangement area on the design section, T 1 and T 2 It is the thickness of the wing at the large and small ends of the corrugation arrangement area on the design section.

[0072] 2. If Figure 7As shown, the corrugated design section 27 is selected. Any arc surface with the rotation axis as the center can be selected as the corrugated design section. The design section is located at the arc radius R 2 Place.

[0073] 3. Determine the corrugation length on the design section

[0074] ①First proposed the flattening coefficient of corrugated material k This parameter describes the flattening ability of the corrugated material. The flattening ability is determined by the material's stiffness and strength. The flattening coefficient is defined as the ratio of the unfolded width to the curve length. Fig.10 As shown in (Fig. l 1 is the width of the corrugated material corresponding to the initial state, l 2 The width of the corrugated material with partial flattening capability at its maximum expansion state. l 3 28 is the initial configuration of the corrugated material, 29 is the maximum expansion state of the corrugated material with partial flattening ability, and 30 is the maximum expansion state of the corrugated material with full flattening ability. The lengths of the three curves are equal, that is, L 28 = L 29 = L 30 = L ( L 28 is the length of the curve corresponding to the initial configuration of the corrugated material, L 29 The length of the curve corresponding to the maximum unfolded state of the corrugated material with partial flattening ability, L 30 The length of the curve corresponding to the maximum unfolded state of the corrugated material with full flattening ability, L is the length of the corrugated curve), the unfolded width is l , flattening coefficient k = l / L . Corrugated material with full flattening capability k = l 3 / L =1, corrugated material with partial flattening capability k = l 2 / L <1. Flattening coefficient k It can be obtained by flattening a specific corrugated material through experiments or numerical simulations.

[0075] ② If Fig.11As shown, when the wing is fully extended, the arc length on the design section ( , the subscript "zkhc" means "expanded arc length") is the expanded width of the corrugated skin. Considering that the corrugated skin material has only partial flattening ability, the cross-sectional corrugation curve length (L bw , the subscript "bw" means "corrugation") satisfies the arc length of the design section. Then the length of the corrugation curve on the design section is:

[0076] (1)

[0077] Among them, β is the angle between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing on the design section. It should be noted that the angles in this article are all in radians.

[0078] 4. Extract corrugation design parameters

[0079] ① Such as Fig.12 As shown, the corrugation shape design is carried out when the wing is fully folded, the corrugation design section 27 is an arc surface, and a standard corrugation is designed on its unfolding plane 31.

[0080] ② A gradient ripple in the form of a “straight line segment-circular arc” combination is proposed. Fig.13 The standard corrugation shape is determined by the arc radius r , straight line segment inclination θ , Ripple peak / valley number n To ensure that the corrugated skin does not rub against the wing structure (wing mounting seat 5, rigid edge strip 1) after installation, the first and last wave crests of the corrugation should face the air side. n Take an odd number.

[0081] ③ To achieve the ripple gradient effect, the ripple arc radius ( r 1 , r 2 , r 3 ,……, r n ) is designed as an arithmetic progression with a tolerance of j .

[0082] ④The length of the standard corrugation can be expressed as the total arc length ( , the subscript "yh" means "arc") and the total straight line segment length ( L xd , subscript "xd" means "line segment"):

[0083] (2)

[0084] Among them, the total length of the arc can be calculated by the following arithmetic progression summation formula:

[0085] (3)

[0086] The total length of the straight line segment can be inversely calculated from the projection relationship of the corrugation on the center line 32. The projection length of the corrugation on the center line ( L bwty , the subscript "bwty" means "ripple projection") is equal to the total arc chord length ( L yhxc , the subscript "yhxc" means "arc chord length") and the total straight line segment projection length ( L xdty , the subscript "xdty" means "line segment projection"), and when the wing is fully retracted, the projection length of the corrugation on the centerline is equal to the arc length on the design section ( , the subscript "sqhc" means "closed arc length"), which satisfies the following relationship:

[0087] (4)

[0088] (5)

[0089] (6)

[0090] The total straight line segment projection length and the total straight line segment length satisfy the cosine theorem, then:

[0091] (7)

[0092] but:

[0093] (8)

[0094] 5. Solution

[0095] ① Before solving, first give the arc radius r 1 ,tolerance j , Number of arcs n Initial values ​​of design parameters such as the inclination angle of the straight line segment θ as the variable to be sought.

[0096] ② Combine equations (1) and (2) to solve the inclination of the straight line segment θ .

[0097] ③ Determine whether the ripple is within the upper and lower boundaries of the layout area (this can be done by comparing the ripple arc with the Fig. 9 Tangent constraints are imposed on the upper and lower boundaries of the corrugation layout area for inspection). If so, the corrugation design result is output; otherwise, the initial value is adjusted and recalculated. θ .

[0098] 6. Generate corrugated skin

[0099] After the corrugations on the design section are completely determined, the corrugations determined on the design section are translated and scaled to obtain the front end of the skin R 1 The ripples of the position section are scaled by R 1 / R 2 Finally, the corrugated skin with thickness is obtained by sweeping the corrugations on the two sections and performing operations such as extension, boundary trimming, and thickening.

[0100] The above solution is only an illustration of a preferred embodiment, but is not limited thereto. When implementing the present invention, appropriate replacement and / or modification can be performed according to user needs.

[0101] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily realized. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described here.
