Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to an aircraft control theory teaching simulation system, and specifically relates to an aircraft fly-by-wire control teaching simulation system, which is especially suitable for flight trainees to carry out theoretical learning and control simulation training of aircraft fly-by-wire control systems. Background Art

[0002] The Fly-by-Wire (FBW) system is the core control system of modern aircraft. It replaces traditional mechanical transmission devices with electronic signals to achieve high-precision transmission of pilot commands and real-time feedback of flight status. Its main functions include: signal processing and command generation. The pilot generates mechanical displacement signals through input devices such as joysticks and pedals. The system converts them into electrical signals and generates control surface control commands (such as elevator and rudder deflection) based on the preset control law. Flight state stabilization, automatically compensating for external disturbances (such as gusts) through three-axis control stabilization modes (roll, pitch, yaw) to improve flight stability; safety boundary protection, introducing modules such as angle of attack limitation and overload limitation to prevent the aircraft from exceeding the aerodynamic envelope and ensure flight safety; multi-modal collaborative control, supporting dynamic switching and combination of main modes (such as maneuvering flap control and automatic anti-spin) and auxiliary modes (such as manual balancing) to meet the needs of complex flight missions.

[0003] Although the fly-by-wire system is complex and highly dependent on algorithmic logic, traditional teaching equipment can only simulate mechanical operations and cannot demonstrate its core electronic signal processing flow and control law dynamic solution process. For example, it is difficult for students to observe how the control law parameters (such as gain and limit threshold) inside the flight control computer affect the control surface response; it is impossible to disassemble the main / auxiliary modal function modules to analyze their coordination mechanism; there is a lack of visual tracking of the control law input and output quantities (such as real-time mapping of pitch stick quantity instructions and canard deflection).

[0004] Traditional aircraft fly-by-wire system teaching mainly relies on simulation equipment modified from retired real aircraft. Such equipment has the following significant defects:

[0005] 1. Economical and spatial limitations: The cost of real machine transformation is high, requiring a large area of ​​space, and the flexibility of equipment deployment is poor, making it difficult to meet the needs of multi-scenario teaching.

[0006] 2. Functional limitations: Existing simulation equipment can only achieve basic control feedback and cannot visualize the control law parameter adjustment process of the fly-by-wire system. For example, the synergy between the main mode (such as three-axis stabilization and anti-spin) and auxiliary mode (such as manual balancing) of the flight control system, the dynamic relationship between the input and output of the control law, and the impact of parameter adjustment on the flight state cannot be intuitively presented.

[0007] 3. Insufficient teaching depth: Students can only perceive flight feedback through mechanical operations and lack a deep understanding of the core algorithms of the fly-by-wire system (such as pitch / roll control law solutions), making it difficult to establish a systematic connection between theoretical knowledge and practical operations.

[0008] 4. Lack of immersion: The traditional two-dimensional interface cannot simulate the real cockpit environment, and it is difficult for trainees to quickly adapt to the complex instrument layout and multi-modal collaborative operation scenarios.

[0009] The above problems cause students' understanding of the fly-by-wire system to remain at the superficial operational level, making it difficult for them to deeply understand its design principles and dynamic response characteristics, which in turn restricts the efficiency of the integration of theoretical teaching and practical application.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the modal function disassembly module includes:

[0080] The main mode function disassembly unit is used to disassemble the three-axis control stabilization mode, the limit mode, the maneuvering flap control mode, and the automatic anti-spin mode function respectively, and to load or reset the disassembled mode submodules in combination; wherein, the three-axis control stabilization mode function is disassembled into a roll control stabilization submodule, a pitch control stabilization submodule, and a yaw control stabilization submodule; the limit mode function is disassembled into a sideslip angle limitation submodule, an elevation angle / overload limitation submodule, a roll angular velocity limitation submodule, and a rudder deflection limitation submodule; the maneuvering flap control mode function is disassembled into a leading edge maneuvering flap control submodule; and the automatic anti-spin mode function is disassembled into an automatic anti-spin submodule and a direct connection submodule;

[0097] In this embodiment, the aerodynamic model is:

[0098]

[0099] In the formula, C L , C D、 C Y are respectively the lift, aerodynamic drag and aerodynamic side force coefficient of the aircraft;

[0100] The lift of an aircraft is generated by the wings, fuselage, horizontal tail and control surfaces:

[0101] C L =C L.wb +C L.ht +C L.δ

[0102] Aerodynamic drag coefficient C D =C D0 +C Di

[0103] In the formula, C D0 is zero lift resistance, C Di The drag caused by lift;

[0104] The aerodynamic side force depends on the Mach number Ma, the sideslip angle β, the angle of attack α, the flap position and the fuselage shape:

[0122] Table 1 Equation coefficient calculation formula

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] Usually q0 2 +q1 2 +q2 2 +q3 2 =1. In actual flight simulation, the integral operation will lead to cumulative errors, and the orthogonality of the quaternion will be destroyed. Therefore, we define λ=1-(q0 2 +q1 2 +q2 2 +q3 2 ), and use the normalization method to reduce the cumulative error. The aircraft's attitude angles: roll angle φ, pitch angle θ and yaw angle ψ can be obtained through quaternion transformation. The relationship between quaternion and Euler angle is as follows:

Then, the aircraft fuel consumption rate is interpolated and calculated through the aircraft Mach number, engine speed, and altitude, and the current fuel weight is updated in real time, and the engine thrust and torque are output to the force / torque synthesis module for calculation. In response to actual engineering needs, the engine numerical model adopts the form of an interpolation table, and the influencing factors include throttle lever angle, flight altitude, intake air temperature, flight speed, Mach number, etc.

[0132] In this embodiment, the actuator model is responsible for converting the lever quantity collection signal and various analog and digital control quantities sent by the simple operation console into physical control quantities such as the rudder surface and throttle, and at the same time sending the parameters to the dynamics and kinematics model for calculation. The actuator uses the displacement, angle and angular velocity feedback of the control stick, and then limits the rudder surface velocity through the actuator, and outputs the actual deflection of the rudder surface.

[0133] Furthermore, the visual simulation system comprises:
