[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electromechanical control, and relates to the technical field of electric pump and transmission system control, in particular to a redundancy control method and system for electric pump and transmission system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The electric pump in the aircraft system is used to provide hydraulic or liquid power to the transmission system to further drive and control various mechanisms such as landing gear, rudder control, etc. on the aircraft. Generally, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft, the transmission system such as the hydraulic system usually adopts double redundancy or higher redundancy for automatic control.
[0003] The architecture of the automatic control system is complex, and when the automatic control system itself is abnormal, it may cause various unpredictable failures and risks, for example, when the data source is abnormal or the electric pump control logic is abnormal, it may cause continuous error to open or close the electric pump, the electric pump further provides error hydraulic power to the hydraulic system, causing the hydraulic system to be damaged by overpressure or the mechanism to be affected by underpressure. Furthermore, when all electric pumps are started synchronously, it is easy to cause excessive transient current, which causes unstable power supply on the aircraft or damage to the electric pump, which also affects flight safety. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems that the electric pump and transmission system controlled by the traditional automatic control method are prone to cause the hydraulic system to be damaged by overpressure or the mechanism to be affected by underpressure, and affect flight safety, etc., the present application discloses a redundancy control method for electric pump and transmission system, which comprises the following steps:
[0005] S4, real-time acquisition of on-board state signals, flight control system state signals and current hydraulic pressures of each sub-hydraulic system in the hydraulic system, wherein the current hydraulic pressures include first hydraulic pressure and second hydraulic pressure;

[0010] Further, the redundancy control method further comprises:
[0011] S21, given the low pressure threshold and the pressure safety threshold, acquiring the first hydraulic pressure according to the hydraulic pressure logic judgment instruction, comparing the first hydraulic pressure with the low pressure threshold, if the first hydraulic pressure is less than or equal to the low pressure threshold, outputting a start hydraulic line protection instruction, and according to the start hydraulic line protection instruction, outputting a start flag or a termination start flag for the electric pump through the second hydraulic pressure, the pressure safety threshold and the hydraulic line protection mechanism, outputting a start electric pump protection instruction according to the start flag, controlling the electric pump start time through the electric pump protection mechanism according to the electric pump protection instruction, and reporting an alarm information according to the termination start flag, if the first hydraulic pressure is greater than the low pressure threshold, outputting an on-machine controlled mechanism logic judgment instruction;
[0012] S22, acquiring the flight control system state signal according to the on-machine controlled mechanism logic judgment instruction, judging whether the controlled mechanism needs pressure according to the flight control system state signal, if it is judged that pressure is needed, outputting a start hydraulic line protection instruction, and according to the start hydraulic line protection instruction, outputting a start flag or a termination start flag for the electric pump through the second hydraulic pressure, the pressure safety threshold and the hydraulic line protection mechanism, outputting a start electric pump protection instruction according to the start flag, controlling the electric pump start time through the electric pump protection mechanism according to the electric pump protection instruction, and reporting an alarm information according to the termination start flag, and constructing the second electric pump control logic.
[0013] Further, the redundancy control method further comprises:
[0014] S31, acquiring the second hydraulic pressure according to the start hydraulic line protection instruction, comparing the second hydraulic pressure with the pressure safety threshold, if the second hydraulic pressure is greater than or equal to the pressure safety threshold, outputting a shutdown electric pump instruction, a termination start flag and an overpressure alarm signal to the second electric pump control logic, if the second hydraulic pressure is less than the pressure safety threshold, outputting a start flag and a start electric pump protection instruction to the second electric pump control logic, and constructing the hydraulic line protection mechanism.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S31 above, after the hydraulic pipeline protection command is output, a timer is started. If the second electric pump control logic does not receive the electric pump prohibition flag or the electric pump start flag output by the hydraulic pipeline protection mechanism within a set time period, the timeout emergency mechanism is activated, and the electric pump is controlled to start according to the electric pump start command output by the second electric pump control logic based on the timeout emergency mechanism.

[0022] The system determines whether the system has a pressure requirement based on the system status signal. If the system status signal is a signal to change the system position, it is determined that the system has a pressure requirement.
[0023] When any one or both of the control surfaces and the landing gear have a pressure requirement, it is determined that the controlled mechanism needs pressure.
[0024] This invention also provides a redundancy control system for electric pumps and transmission systems. The redundancy control system includes an acquisition module, a data scheduling module, a monitoring module, and multiple electric pump control modules. Each electric pump control module includes a first logic judgment module, a second logic judgment module, and an electric pump protection module. All the electric pump control modules are connected in sequence to form a closed-loop control architecture.
[0025] Each of the electric pump control modules is connected to an electric pump. The output of the acquisition module is connected to the input of the data scheduling module and the monitoring module. Both the data scheduling module and the monitoring module are connected to each of the electric pump control modules.
[0026] Furthermore, the hydraulic system has at least two sub-hydraulic systems, each of which is equipped with an electric pump control module. The acquisition module is connected to the hydraulic pipeline of the sub-hydraulic system via two acquisition channels.

[0028] 1. By automating the control of the electric pump on the hydraulic line, the pilot does not need to spend a lot of energy on controlling the electric pump during the mission, which significantly reduces the pilot's workload.
[0029] 2. By employing an electric pump control mechanism based on different aircraft conditions to automatically control the on / off state of the electric pumps, the system avoids situations where the electric pumps are constantly running, significantly reducing aircraft energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. Simultaneously, by designing electric pump protection logic, the system optimizes the starting sequence of the electric pumps when needed on board, preventing simultaneous activation of electric pumps and avoiding issues such as reduced aircraft power supply and electric pump damage. This enhances aircraft power supply safety and extends the service life of the electric pumps.
[0030] 3. The hydraulic transmission system is designed with two levels of protection. The monitoring module continuously and independently monitors the status of each hydraulic pipeline. When the pressure of the hydraulic pipeline is too high, it can output an overpressure alarm to the electric pump control module. When the internal fault of the electric pump control module is caused by data source or logic abnormality, the electric pump can be shut down in time. Otherwise, if a more serious situation occurs, such as a hardware failure of the control module driver, the monitoring module can act as a second line of defense to directly shut down the corresponding electric pump, thereby enhancing the protection effect.
[0031] 4. The design of the control system for multiple electric pump control modules enables independent and precise control of each electric pump, avoiding single-point failures caused by control module failures, thus providing high safety and improving flight safety.
[0032] 5. An overtime emergency mechanism was designed based on the hydraulic pipeline protection mechanism. In extreme cases where the electric pump control module fails to receive the indication signal from the monitoring module, the electric pump can be started normally, ensuring the integrity and safety of the aircraft functions.
