Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wind tunnel testing, and more particularly to a gust simulation device. Background Art
[0002] The gust simulation device is an important equipment for wind tunnel tests to study the dynamic characteristics of aircraft in gust environments (unsteady loads, flight stability, structural strength and flight control). It makes high-frequency reciprocating swings in the flow field to make the flow field unstable, simulating a high-altitude gust environment.
[0003] However, most of the existing gust simulation devices are designed for low-speed wind tunnel tests. Due to the high blockage requirements and high operating speed and pressure of high-speed wind tunnels, the high-speed aerodynamic load of gust simulation devices of the same size is often several times the aerodynamic load of low-speed wind tunnels. Therefore, the design scheme of the gust generating device of the low-speed wind tunnel cannot be directly applied to the high-speed wind tunnel. The development of high-speed gust simulation devices is very difficult. In particular, in order to realize the blade swing of the gust simulation device, a motor needs to be connected to a drive device, and the drive device needs to be connected to the blade. The connection between the drive device and the blade is unreliable, resulting in unstable load transmission. At the same time, the blade will be subjected to alternating aerodynamic loads and inertial loads in the high-speed flow field. The operating conditions are complex and the load is large, which cannot meet the requirements for the use of aerodynamic loads and inertial loads.
[0004] Therefore, providing a stable and reliable gust simulation device is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a gust simulation device, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the blade cascade when it swings at a high frequency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A gust simulation device, comprising:
[0008] A driving shaft, one end of which is provided with a flange; the driving shaft is provided with a circular hole, a straight square hole and an inverted tapered square hole which are distributed in sequence along the axial direction;
[0009] A blade cascade, wherein the blade stalk of the blade cascade comprises a circular boss, a square boss, a first inverted cone square boss, a second inverted cone square boss and a wing-shaped boss which are connected as one from left to right in sequence, wherein the circular boss is inserted into the circular hole so that the square boss is located in the straight square hole, and the first inverted cone square boss corresponds to the position of the inverted cone square hole;
[0010] A wedge block, the wedge block is inserted between the first inverted tapered square boss and the inverted tapered square hole;
[0011] A step sleeve is sleeved on the extended end surface of the drive shaft and the first inverted cone boss; the step sleeve is connected to the flange by bolts so that the step sleeve abuts against the step of the wedge block.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] The drive shaft and the blades are connected by a rectangular cross section to transmit torque and are wedged tight by wedges. Each contact surface forms a self-locking angle to avoid loosening due to force. The drive shaft and the blades are reliably connected to ensure stable load and moment transmission.
[0014] Furthermore, the cross section of the petiole is an I-shape with a hole.
[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is to reduce the rotational inertia of the petiole.
[0016] Furthermore, the blade grid also includes a supporting frame, a lightweight material and a skin, wherein the supporting frame is fitted and fixed on the petiole; the lightweight material is filled in the supporting frame; and the skin is wrapped around the supporting frame and the lightweight material.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further technical solution is that the lightweight material filling can reduce the skin thickness, reduce the blade weight, and thus reduce the inertial load.
[0018] Furthermore, the supporting skeleton includes a main supporting frame, an auxiliary supporting frame and a wrapping cloth, and the main supporting frame and the auxiliary supporting frame are connected as a whole by wrapping the wrapping cloth; the main supporting frame has a mounting hole with the same shape as the petiole, so that the petiole can be inserted and fixed in the mounting hole.
[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that each component has independence, and the ply design can be performed separately according to the load, so as to effectively bring into play the material characteristics.
[0020] Furthermore, the auxiliary support frame is U-shaped, and the middle part of the auxiliary support frame is fitted together with the main support frame; the extended end of the auxiliary support frame is provided with a flange structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] like Figure 1-14As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a gust simulation device, including a driving shaft 1, a blade cascade 2, a wedge 3 and a step sleeve 4, a flange 5 is arranged at one end of the driving shaft 1; the driving shaft 1 is provided with a circular hole 11, a rectangular hole 12 and an inverted cone square hole 13 distributed in sequence along the axial direction; the blade stalk 21 of the blade cascade 2 includes a circular boss 211, a square boss 212, a first inverted cone square boss 213, a second inverted cone square boss 214 and a wing-shaped boss 215 connected as one from left to right, the circular boss 211 is inserted into the circular hole 11, so that the square boss 212 is located in the rectangular hole 12, the first inverted cone square boss 213 and the inverted cone square boss 214 are connected as one from left to right, and the circular boss 211 is inserted into the circular hole 11, so that the square boss 212 is located in the rectangular hole 12, and the first inverted cone square boss 213 and the inverted cone square boss 214 are connected as one from left to right. The position of the square hole 13 corresponds to the position of the petiole 21; the upper and lower surfaces of the wedge block 3 are both inclined surfaces, and the wedge block 3 is inserted between the first inverted cone square boss 213 and the inverted cone square hole 13; the step sleeve 4 is fitted on the extended end surface of the drive shaft 1 and the first inverted cone square boss 213; the step sleeve 4 is connected to the flange 5 by bolts 6, so that the step sleeve 4 abuts against the step 31 of the wedge block 3, that is, by tightening the bolts 6, the step sleeve 4 can be moved, and the step sleeve 4 drives the wedge block 3 to move, so that the two inclined surfaces of the wedge block 3 are respectively tightly fitted with the inner surface of the inverted cone square hole 13 of the drive shaft 1 and the outer surface of the first inverted cone square boss 213. The present invention adopts a rectangular cross-section to transmit torque between the drive shaft 1 and the blade cascade 2, and is wedged by the wedge block 3. Each contact surface forms a self-locking angle, which can avoid loosening due to force. The drive shaft 1 and the blade cascade 2 are reliably connected to ensure stable load and bending moment transmission.

The main support frame 221 has a mounting hole with the same shape as the petiole 21, so that the petiole 21 can be inserted and fixed in the mounting hole, which can prevent the main support frame 221 from being detached from the petiole 21, and the fit is tighter when under stress.
