Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wind tunnel equipment, and in particular relates to an angle-of-attack platform based on hydraulic drive and turbine worm self-locking and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The wind tunnel test model is installed on the test model angle of attack platform in the test cabin. The test model angle of attack platform is used to support the test model and change the angle of attack of the test model. There are two support methods: belly support and tail support. The test model angle of attack platform needs to meet the requirements of high frequency of use, high precision, small deformation, and high task position locking precision.

[0003] The China Patent Literature Library has published an invention patent with application number 202011445511.6 and the invention name is a wind tunnel angle-changing device driven by a lead screw pair suitable for special temperature environments. This invention patent uses a motor to drive the lead screw pair, and the linear motion of the lead screw pair drives the scimitar to rotate to achieve the change of the angle of attack of the tail support model. However, due to the movement gap of the lead screw pair, when the load condition changes, the angle of attack is not locked, which will cause the test model angle of attack to change.

[0004] The Chinese Patent Literature Library has published an application number of 201510153303.1, the invention name of which is an electro-hydraulic hybrid driven lead screw transmission system and its control method. This invention patent uses the advantages of electric servo and hydraulic servo in an attempt to achieve precise positioning and stable control of the test model's attack angle under heavy load. However, since the lead screw pair is used to transmit direct motion power, and the angle of attack is changed by converting the linear motion of the lead screw pair into rotational motion, the problem of motion clearance in the lead screw pair is still not solved. Under variable load conditions, the angle of attack of the test model will still change due to the untightened angle of attack.

[0005] In general, when the motor drives the lead screw to drive a large load, there will be problems such as slow response speed and low-speed creeping. Hydraulics have the characteristics of large driving force, but when hydraulic drive drives a large load, there are poor controllability and low positioning accuracy. Once the hydraulic pressure suddenly loses, the test model will be in an uncontrollable state.

[0006] In view of the characteristics of wind tunnel test models such as large load, high precision, small deformation requirement, and high task position locking requirement, there is an urgent need to develop an angle of attack platform based on hydraulic drive and turbine worm self-locking and its use method. Summary of the invention

[0007] One technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an angle of attack platform based on hydraulic drive and self-locking of a worm gear.

The model installation platform straddles the upper part of the two cutter bar supports and is fixed on the upper plane surface of the cutter bar supports; the arc-shaped worm wheel straddles the lower part of the two cutter bar supports and is fixed on the lower arc surface of the cutter bar supports. A number of arc-shaped guide rail sliders are arranged on each cutter bar support, and a number of parallel arc-shaped guide rails are arranged on each installation side plate, and the guide rail sliders are installed on the arc-shaped guide rails on the corresponding side. When the left and right symmetrically arranged cutter bar supports rotate around the rotation center of the cutter bar assembly, the guide rail sliders slide along the arc-shaped guide rails.

[0010] Further, the hydraulic cylinder is vertically arranged; the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed on the horizontal axis through a cylindrical pin shaft, and the lower end is fixed on the upper surface of the installation base through a cylindrical pin shaft; there is a clearance fit between the end of the hydraulic cylinder and the cylindrical pin shaft.

[0011] Further, the worm mounting seat of the worm and worm gear self-locking mechanism is a right triangle, and a commutator, a connecting shaft, a reducer and a worm are sequentially fixed on the inclined surface of the worm mounting seat from bottom to top; the commutator and the reducer are fixed through a bracket, and the front and rear ends of the worm are fixed through bearing seats; the commutator is connected to a servo motor. The end of the worm is sequentially sleeved with a bearing spacer sleeve, a ball bearing and a bearing nut from inside to outside and fixed on the bearing seat; the worm meshes with the arc-shaped worm wheel.

[0012] The using method of the angle of attack platform based on hydraulic drive and self-locking of worm and worm gear of the present invention includes the following steps: S10. When the model installation platform is ready to change the angle of attack, the servo motor applies a torque to the worm. S20.

The hydraulic lock of the hydraulic cylinder and the self-locking mechanism of the worm and worm gear are double-locked to eliminate the load introduced by the self-locking mechanism of the worm and worm gear during the movement of the angle of attack platform.

[0013] Further, the hydraulic lock is a two-way cartridge valve. When the hydraulic cylinder stops moving, it ensures that the position of the hydraulic rod remains unchanged, playing the role of safety protection and preset time positioning.

[0014] The angle of attack platform based on hydraulic drive and worm and worm gear self-locking and its usage method of the present invention adopt a hydraulic cylinder with a hydraulic valve and a worm and worm gear with a self-locking function. The hydraulic cylinder is driven by a servo hydraulic system, and the worm and worm gear are driven by a servo motor.
