Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a method for predicting the reliability of an unmanned aerial vehicle flight control system based on second screening data of components. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicle technology has developed rapidly, and its application scenarios have gradually expanded from traditional military uses to multiple fields such as logistics transportation, agricultural monitoring, environmental protection, and disaster relief. However, as the core part of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the reliability of the flight control system directly determines the safety, stability, and service life of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Electronic components in the flight control system are the key factors affecting reliability. Due to the complex and changeable working environment of unmanned aerial vehicles (such as high temperature, low pressure, vibration, etc.), the failure risk of components increases significantly. Therefore, it is particularly important to predict reliability during the design stage of the flight control system.

[0003] At present, component reliability screening (including first screening and second screening) is an important means to ensure component performance, and the screening results usually include failure data of components under different acceleration conditions. However, these data are only used for preliminary screening of components and are not further utilized in system design. In addition, traditional system reliability analysis methods often rely on empirical values or reliability parameters of single components, and it is difficult to comprehensively reflect the actual reliability of complex flight control systems. This situation makes it an important requirement for technological development to accurately predict the reliability of the flight control system at the initial design stage.

[0004] Currently, the mainstream methods for system reliability analysis include the following several types:

[0005] 1. Method based on fault tree analysis: By analyzing the possible fault modes of the system and their impacts layer by layer, the system reliability is deduced. However, the analysis efficiency of this method for complex systems is low, and it is difficult to use dynamic component data for reliability modeling.

[0006] 2. Method based on reliability block diagram: By constructing the reliability block diagram of the system, the overall reliability of the system is calculated. However, this method usually assumes that the component reliability is known and ignores the randomness and complex failure modes of components in the actual environment.

[0007] 3. Data model based on component accelerated life test: Existing research mainly focuses on the analysis of the accelerated life model of single components (such as the Arrhenius model), but fails to combine the accelerated test data with system-level reliability modeling.

[0008] There are many deficiencies in the reliability analysis of the UAV flight control system in the existing technology, mainly reflected in the failure to fully utilize the secondary screening data of components for system-level reliability modeling. These screening data are usually only used to judge whether the components are qualified, and lack a standardized processing method to convert them into reliability models, resulting in valuable failure data not being used for system-level reliability analysis.

[0009] In addition, the correlation between system-level reliability analysis and component failure data is insufficient. Existing methods usually assume that the reliability parameters of components are fixed values, ignoring the dynamic changes of the accelerated test data and environmental impacts of components. The topology of the UAV flight control system is complex, including various series, parallel, and hybrid structures. Existing modeling methods are inefficient in dealing with these complex logics. Especially in the reliability calculation of redundant structures and parallel modules, it is easy to lead to inaccurate analysis or incomplete modeling problems.

[0010] At the same time, the existing technology has limited ability to handle the randomness of component failure times. It generally uses deterministic analysis methods and is difficult to truly reflect the random characteristics of component failures. Especially the lack of random modeling tools such as Monte Carlo simulation makes it impossible to comprehensively sample and statistically analyze the failure times of a large number of components in the flight control system.

[0011] Finally, existing methods usually can only conduct reliability assessment based on actual test data after the system design is completed, and it is difficult to provide reliable prediction results in the initial stage of design. The lack of a reliability modeling method based on component screening data and design logic in the initial stage of design makes the reliability prediction unable to meet the high standards of safety and stability of the UAV flight control system. Summary of the Invention
