Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of model free-flight wind tunnel tests, and in particular relates to a parallel inter-stage separation free-flight wind tunnel test device capable of providing a normal separation velocity. Background Art

[0002] The model free-flying wind tunnel test is a commonly used research method for studying the dynamic aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft, and can also be used for the study of multi-body interference of aircraft. The basic method of the test is to launch the model at high speed against the direction of the airflow after the wind tunnel flow field is stable. The model will fly freely in the wind tunnel for a short period of time to test the safety of multi-stage aircraft separation. At the same time, the model is photographed through the observation window using high-speed photography to obtain the attitude trajectory of the aircraft model in free flight. The dynamic aerodynamic parameters of the aircraft can be obtained after data processing in the later stage.

[0003] The parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test requires that the first model and the second model exist as a rigid whole before separation, and no relative motion degrees of freedom exist. After unlocking is completed, all degrees of freedom of the first model and the second model are released, and each performs independent six-degree-of-freedom motion. However, due to the compression of the aerodynamic force on the head of the parallel interstage separation model, in the absence of a normal separation speed, the parallel interstage separation is prone to collision after the release of the two-stage model's degrees of freedom, and safe separation cannot be achieved. This requires that the separation unlocking test device can meet the following requirements: ensure that the two-stage aircraft model is fixed together as a rigid whole before separation, provide a sufficiently large normal separation speed during separation, and after separation, the two-stage aircraft model each performs independent six-degree-of-freedom motion while avoiding damage to the aircraft model's appearance.

[0004] Since the longitudinal space of the parallel interstage aircraft model is small and there is not enough space for movement, the previous parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test technology cannot provide the two-stage normal separation initial velocity, and collision will occur under many working conditions, and the safe separation of the parallel aircraft cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test device that can provide the normal separation initial velocity. Summary of the invention

[0037] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] (1) The present invention discloses a parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test device that can provide a normal separation velocity, which solves the problem that the previous parallel interstage separation free flight test could not provide the normal separation initial velocity. Since the longitudinal space of the parallel aircraft is small and there is not enough actuation space, the existing parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test technology cannot provide the normal separation initial velocity and cannot simulate the separation condition with the normal separation initial velocity. The present invention can ensure that the two-stage aircraft model is fixed as a rigid whole before separation, and can provide a sufficient normal separation initial velocity during separation. After separation, the two-stage models each perform independent six-degree-of-freedom motion, which can effectively simulate the parallel interstage separation condition with the normal separation initial velocity.

[0039] (2) The present invention discloses a parallel interstage separation free flight wind tunnel test device that can provide a normal separation speed. While providing the normal separation initial velocity, it can also restore the model's appearance to the greatest extent. In addition to the need to provide the normal separation initial velocity, the parallel interstage separation free flight also requires that the two-stage aircraft before separation be fixed as a rigid whole, which inevitably leads to the need for some devices of the second model to be connected to the first model. The traditional piston-type separation device can be used to retract the connecting part into the first model to maintain its shape, but because the piston rod cannot be fixedly connected to the second model, the normal separation speed cannot meet the requirements. The present invention adopts a method of cooperating with a support rod and a torsion spring, which can make the connecting part retract into the second model to maintain its shape, while avoiding the piston impact process, thereby ensuring that the normal separation speed meets the requirements.

[0040] (3) The present invention discloses a parallel interstage separation free-fly wind tunnel test device that can provide a normal separation speed. The unlocking separation device remains inside the model after unlocking is completed, and the pulling pin quickly moves away from the test model along with the pulling pin rope, thereby avoiding the risk of the unlocking device popping out of the model and moving in the flow field, interfering with the test or even colliding with the model.

[0041] (4) The present invention discloses a parallel interstage separation free-flying wind tunnel test device capable of providing a normal separation velocity, wherein springs of different types can be replaced to change the normal separation velocity. The required elastic potential energy is calculated according to the required normal separation velocity by using the law of conservation of momentum and the law of conservation of energy, thereby selecting the corresponding type of spring.

[0061] In this embodiment, the required normal separation speed can be changed by replacing springs 8 of different types. The specific method for selecting spring 8 is as follows:

[0062] The normal separation velocity required for the test is v, the mass of the first model as a whole is m1, the mass of the second model as a whole is m2, and the mass of the push rod is ignored. Using the law of conservation of momentum, the normal velocity v1 of the first model as a whole and the normal velocity v2 of the second model as a whole are calculated:

[0063]

[0064] Using the law of conservation of energy and ignoring energy losses such as friction, the required elastic potential energy E is:

[0065]

[0066] After actual tests, it was found that in the case of energy loss, the required elastic potential energy of the spring is about twice that of the ideal case. Therefore, the elastic potential energy E that the selected spring needs to release in the concave space of the cover plate is 实际 =2E, the actuating space in the cavity is x, then the required spring stiffness k is:

[0067]

[0068] Then the spring is selected based on stiffness and size.

[0069] In summary, the two-part unlocking device can ensure that the two-stage aircraft model is fixed as a rigid whole before separation, and can provide sufficient normal separation initial velocity during separation. After separation, the two-stage models each perform independent six-degree-of-freedom motion while avoiding damage to the aircraft model shape, so that the parallel aircraft can be safely separated in the wind tunnel and meet the test requirements.
