Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wind tunnel tests, and particularly relates to an air inlet balance calibration device and method for simulating test states. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the engine, the air inlet plays a crucial role during the operation of the aircraft. Its performance directly affects the working efficiency of the engine, the power characteristics and the overall performance of the aircraft. The core of the research on the force measurement of the aircraft air inlet is to measure the thrust and moment generated inside the air inlet. Wind tunnel tests are one of the most important ways to conduct ground force measurement of the aircraft air inlet. In recent years, with the continuous development of wind tunnel test technologies and sensors, the force measurement methods and means have become more accurate and diversified, mainly including the following three: balance measurement method, surface pressure distribution measurement method, and inertial force measurement method. The surface pressure distribution measurement method and the inertial force measurement method have problems such as highly depending on the performance of sensors, complex systems, and high test costs, and are mainly applied to some specific scenarios with complex flow fields or large changes in dynamic loads. The balance measurement method is still commonly used in the conventional force measurement wind tunnel tests of air inlets.

[0003] The balance measurement method has the advantages of simple installation, convenient operation, intuitive measurement results, and mature design methods. However, since the installation of the balance will cause a certain disturbance to the air inlet flow field, in order to reduce this interference, bellows are used in combination during the test. The stiffness of the bellows is generally much smaller than that of the balance to ensure that most of the loads of the air inlet are transmitted to the balance, thereby improving the measurement sensitivity. However, due to the small stiffness of the bellows, it is extremely easy to deform, and different installation states will affect the stiffness distribution of the entire measurement system, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy. Therefore, how to ensure that the bellows are in the same state during calibration and testing is the key factor affecting the accuracy of test measurement.

[0004] Currently, there is an urgent need to develop an air inlet balance calibration device and method for simulating test states. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an air inlet balance calibration device for simulating test states, and another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an air inlet balance calibration method for simulating test states to overcome the defects of the prior art.

[0006] The air inlet balance calibration device for simulating test states of the present invention includes a calibration strut, a connector, a balance, and a loading head that are connected in sequence from back to front. The rear end of the calibration strut is fixed on a two-degree-of-freedom balance calibration frame; the bellows connector is clamped on the connector and slides along the connector; the rear end of the bellows is fixed on the front end face of the bellows connector, the front end of the bellows is connected to the air inlet, and the air inlet is fixed on the lower surface of the front section of the balance through a square boss above.

The upper end of the upper loading rod is provided with loading point Ⅹ, and the lower end of the lower loading rod is provided with loading point Ⅻ; on the left midpoint and the right midpoint of the square frame, a left loading rod and a right loading rod are respectively provided. The left end of the left loading rod is provided with loading point Ⅸ, and the right end of the right loading rod is provided with loading point Ⅺ;

[0010] Each loading point is a through hole, and both ends of the through hole can be used to install a center point. A weight tray is suspended on the center point, and the loading of forces and moments in each direction is achieved by adding standard weights on the weight tray; loading points Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ are used for positive and negative loading in the lift force Y direction; after the air intake balance calibration device rotates 90° around the axis, loading points Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, and Ⅷ are used for positive and negative loading in the side force Z direction; loading points Ⅸ, Ⅹ, Ⅺ, and Ⅻ are used for loading in the drag force X direction.

[0012] Further, the upper section of the corrugated pipe connector is a clamping groove, the clamping groove is installed on the connector, and a locking buckle for locking with the connector is arranged on the clamping groove; the lower section of the corrugated pipe connector is a flat plate, and a plurality of circumferentially distributed screw holes matching the flange of the corrugated pipe are arranged on the front end face of the flat plate.

[0013] Further, the air inlet duct is a twin-engine air inlet duct that is symmetric about the left and right, the corrugated pipe connector is arranged as an independent structure that is symmetric about the left and right, and each independent structure is respectively installed on the connector to adapt to the twin-engine air inlet duct.

[0014] The air inlet duct balance calibration method in the simulated test state of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0015] S10. Perform optical balance calibration;

[0016] Connect the calibration strut, connector, balance, and loading head in sequence from the rear to the front to obtain an optical balance calibration device, then install the calibration strut on the two-degree-of-freedom balance calibration rack, and perform optical balance calibration according to the conventional six-component balance calibration method to obtain the optical balance calibration formula;

[0017] S20. Perform model assembly;

[0018] Install the balance, air inlet duct, and corrugated pipe inside the flat test model, and record the length of the corrugated pipe and the initial reading of the balance after installation;

[0019] S30. Adjust the position of the corrugated pipe connector;

[0020] Install the calibration strut, connector, balance, air inlet duct, corrugated pipe, and corrugated pipe connector, observe the reading of the balance, and adjust the position of the corrugated pipe connector until the balance reading is the same as the initial reading of the balance;

[0021] S40. Perform air inlet duct balance calibration;

[0022] Install the loading head, then install the calibration strut on the two-degree-of-freedom balance calibration rack, and perform calibration with the corrugated pipe according to the conventional six-component balance calibration method to obtain the calibration formula of the parallel force-measuring system composed of the balance, air inlet duct, and corrugated pipe, that is, the air inlet duct balance calibration formula;

[0023] S50. Perform wind tunnel test;

[0024] Remove the balance, inlet duct, and bellows as a whole from the two-degree-of-freedom balance calibration rig, and install them as a whole onto the test model before the test to avoid installation errors caused by repeated disassembly and assembly. During the test, use the inlet duct balance calibration formula to calculate the six-component force measurement data.

[0025] The inlet duct balance calibration device for simulating the test state of the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0026] a. The balance in the present invention adopts a square structure, which is not only convenient for installation in a flat test model, but also the four planes of the square frame can be used as measurement planes, facilitating the measurement of the deformation of the square balance after being loaded.

[0027] b. Traditional slider-type or sleeve-type loading heads can only achieve loading in one direction. After the lift Y calibration is completed, the loading head must be removed, the balance rotated 90°, the loading head reinstalled, and then the lateral Z loading carried out. Each installation requires readjusting the centering position, and the process is cumbersome. The loading head in the present invention adopts an aluminum frame structure, which not only reduces weight significantly but also retains sufficient stiffness. The loading points in the present invention are symmetrically arranged up and down, left and right, front and back. It can not only accurately mechanically decompose the loads in three directions of drag X, lift Y, and side force Z, but also rotate the loading head and the balance together during calibration to complete the loading calibration in four directions in one installation on the two-degree-of-freedom balance calibration rig, avoiding the disassembly and assembly of the loading head and the balance when changing directions and improving the calibration efficiency.

[0028] c. During the wind tunnel test, the front end of the bellows is connected to the inlet duct. Since the stiffness of the balance is much greater than that of the bellows, when the inlet duct is stressed, most of the loads act on the balance, and the bellows plays a role of passing air without transmitting force in the entire force measurement system. However, the telescopic state of the bellows will affect the stiffness distribution of the entire test model. The present invention uses the card slot on the upper section of the bellows connector to slide along the connector to adjust the telescopic state of the bellows, ensuring that the telescopic state of the bellows during calibration is the same as that during the test.

[0029] d. The present invention utilizes the characteristics of the balance as a high-precision force sensor. After obtaining the working formula of the optical balance through optical balance calibration, the reading of the optical balance is precisely controlled during the test and calibration processes to ensure the consistency of the connection state of the balance force measurement system during the test and calibration processes.

[0030] The inlet duct balance calibration device for simulating the test state of the present invention simulates the actual force on the balance and the deformation of the bellows after being installed inside the test model through a parallel force measurement system composed of the balance, inlet duct, and bellows. The inlet duct balance calibration method for simulating the test state of the present invention can ensure that the states of the balance, inlet duct, and bellows during calibration are the same as those during the wind tunnel test, achieve precise calibration of the parallel force measurement system of the balance, inlet duct, and bellows, and measure the inlet duct load efficiently and accurately.
