[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 a visual auxiliary device for the arrangement of sensors for an aircraft ground resonance test, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0036] The integrated measurement and projection system includes a laser rangefinder, a laser projector and a three-dimensional adjustable fixed bracket, wherein:

[0037] The three-dimensional adjustable fixing bracket is used to install the laser rangefinder and laser projector, and adjust the viewing angle of the integrated measurement and projection system;

[0038] The laser rangefinder is used to calibrate the marked aircraft measurement points;

[0039] The laser projector is used to project the calculated sensor positions and numbers onto the aircraft body surface;

[0040] Sensor placement solver for:

[0041] According to the geometric information of the aircraft measurement points obtained by the laser rangefinder calibration and the geometric shape of the aircraft, the matching relationship between the viewing angle of the measurement and projection integrated system and the aircraft is calculated to generate a three-dimensional space combination for the projection sensor arrangement points;

[0042] The sensor layout points in the test task book are solved one by one in the three-dimensional space combination, and the solved sensor positions and numbers are sent to the laser projector.

[0043] The aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary device of the present application includes two parts: a measurement projection integrated system and a sensor layout solution system. The main components of the measurement projection integrated system include a laser rangefinder, a laser projector and a three-dimensional adjustable fixed bracket. The laser rangefinder and the laser projector are installed on the three-dimensional adjustable fixed bracket, which can realize three-dimensional movement and steering adjustment. The three-dimensional adjustable fixed bracket is adjusted to ensure that the ranging angle of the laser rangefinder and the projection angle of the laser projector are the same angle, and at the same time ensure that the angle can fully cover the aircraft. The sensor layout solution system is a sensor layout solution software installed in a laptop computer for geometric correction and projection image output. It can solve the matching relationship between the measurement projection integrated system angle and the aircraft according to the geometric information of the main measurement points of the aircraft and the geometric shape of the aircraft, forming a three-dimensional space combination for projecting sensor layout points, and obtaining the sensor position. By projecting each sensor position onto the surface of the aircraft body, the test personnel are assisted to complete the pasting of the acceleration sensor.

[0044] The main idea of ​​the aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary device of the present application is to apply the methods of automatic measurement and mathematical analysis, involving curved surface optical measurement technology and curved surface projection geometric correction technology. By projecting the resolved coordinate points onto the aircraft surface, it can quickly, efficiently and accurately assist the test personnel in sensor pasting.

[0045] Based on the above-mentioned aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary device, the second aspect of the present application provides an aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary method, taking a ground resonance test of a certain aircraft as an example, the aircraft is supported by air springs and air bags, such as Figure 2 As shown. Before the test, acceleration sensors need to be arranged on the aircraft for vibration measurement according to the test task book. The visualization auxiliary method for the arrangement of sensors for the aircraft ground resonance test includes the following process:

[0046] Step 1: Support the aircraft to be tested through the test support system and ensure that the aircraft is level;

[0047] Step 2: Arrange the integrated measurement and projection system so that it can observe the entire picture of the aircraft;

[0048] Step 3: measure the typical position points of the aircraft through the integrated measurement and projection system, and transmit the measurement results to the sensor layout solution system;

[0049] Among them, the typical position points of the aircraft include special geometric points such as the typical position point of the nose, the typical position point of the tail, and the typical position point of the wing tip.

[0050] Step 4: The typical position points of the measured aircraft are solved by the sensor layout solving system, and a three-dimensional spatial combination of the projection sensor layout points is generated in combination with a preset aircraft sensor layout diagram;

[0051] The three-dimensional space combination is a three-dimensional space combination of a measurement and projection integrated system + an aircraft.

[0052] Step 5: The sensor position and number are extracted from the three-dimensional space assembly by the sensor arrangement solution system, and sent to the measurement and projection integration system for projection;

[0053] Step 6: The test personnel paste the sensor on the aircraft according to the projection.

[0054] The aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary method of the present application measures and analyzes the mapping relationship of sensor layout points in the test task book by applying laser measurement, three-dimensional space geometric analysis, and laser projection methods, and finally automatically projects the sensor layout points onto the aircraft body surface to assist test personnel in completing sensor layout. In the preparation stage of the full-aircraft ground resonance test, the layout of the test sensors can be accurately projected onto the surface of the aircraft to be tested to complete visual annotation, which facilitates the subsequent test sensor pasting.

[0055] The aircraft ground resonance test sensor layout visualization auxiliary method of the present application has a reliable and clear theoretical basis, a simple analysis method, and convenient data processing. It can quickly display the sensor layout on the body surface in the aircraft ground resonance test, and can accurately obtain the sensor sticking position, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the test preparation work and greatly saves human resources and test cycles in the test preparation process. At the same time, the present application can also be applied to the sensor layout of dynamic tests in other fields (such as aerospace, construction, vehicles, etc.) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the test.
