Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of folding rudder testing, and particularly relates to a loadable folding rudder deployment dynamic testing device and method. Background Art

[0002] The folding rudder consists of a fixed rudder and a movable rudder. The fixed rudder is fixed on the aircraft, and the movable rudder automatically and quickly unfolds after the aircraft is launched and is reliably locked with the fixed rudder to form an integral body to control the stable flight of the aircraft. Using a folding rudder on an aircraft can reduce the space required for storage and transportation before launch. The unfolding of the folding rudder is a dynamic process, and the unfolding time is an important performance parameter of the folding rudder. Each folding rudder needs to be tested for its unfolding time after being manufactured. Using efficient and fast testing devices and methods can effectively reduce the time consumed by testing and improve production efficiency.

[0003] Traditional folding rudder unfolding time testing devices have problems such as low sampling frequency, difficulty in restoring the real working conditions, and cumbersome operation. Some testing devices only perform data sampling at the start and end of the folding rudder unfolding movement, and calculate the unfolding time of the folding rudder through the time difference between the two samplings, but the movement law during the unfolding movement and the vibration characteristics after unfolding in place cannot be observed through the data obtained by this testing method. In addition, some testing devices do not consider the aerodynamic torque received by the folding rudder during unfolding under real working conditions and lack corresponding loading devices.

[0004] The patent document with the publication number CN104443430A discloses a folding rudder surface unfolding testing device, which includes a support mechanism, a photoelectric sensor measurement mechanism, a force application mechanism, and a control system. The support mechanism includes a support frame and a folding rudder surface support, and the folding rudder surface support is fixed on the support frame for installing the folding rudder surface. The force application mechanism is connected to the folding rudder surface through a swivel joint and a connecting rod. The photoelectric sensor measurement mechanism is installed on the support frame for testing the unfolding and folding time of the folding rudder surface, and the control system is installed on the support frame for automatically controlling the entire test measurement process. This invention can test the unfolding time of the folding rudder surface and the mechanism resistance value during the unfolding process, but lacks the microsecond-level dynamic monitoring function during the non-loaded and loaded unfolding processes of the folding rudder.

[0077] The folding rudder base 504 is located on the main mounting base 501. The folding rudder base 504 is used to fix the tested folding rudder 70 on the main mounting base 501. When it is necessary to switch the rudder surfaces for left folding and right folding for testing, only need to disassemble the folding rudder base 504, rotate it 180° and install and fix it again. For folding rudder surfaces with different installation interfaces, only need to machine a corresponding folding rudder base 504 for its interface, and then it can be installed on this device for testing;

[0078] The rotating shaft base 507 is located on the main mounting base 501. The rotating shaft base 507 is used to fix the rotating shaft 611 and the angular displacement sensor bracket 207.

[0079] The transmission assembly 60 includes a tail vertebra set screw 601, a tail vertebra adapter 602, a first connecting shaft 603, a sleeve 604, a sleeve set screw 605, a universal joint coupling 606, a coupling set screw 607, and a second connecting shaft 608. The tail vertebra set screw 601 is connected to the tail vertebra adapter 602. The tail vertebra adapter 602 is installed on the movable rudder 702 through the tail vertebra set screw 601 and serves as an interface between the movable rudder 702 and other transmission components. One side of the first connecting shaft 603 is connected to the tail vertebra adapter 602 through the sleeve 604. The sleeve 604 is provided with a sleeve set screw 605. Tightening the sleeve set screw 605 can reduce the movement clearance of the sleeve 604 to improve the transmission accuracy. The other side of the first connecting shaft 603 is connected to the universal joint coupling 606 and fixed with a coupling set screw 607. When replacing the tested folding rudder 70 of the same model for testing, only need to loosen the sleeve set screw 605 and remove the sleeve 604 from the tail vertebra adapter 602. At this time, remove the folding rudder fixing bolt 505 to replace the new tested folding rudder 70. The other side of the universal joint coupling 606 is connected to the second connecting shaft 608. Using the universal joint coupling 606 in the transmission assembly 60 can reduce the influence caused by the non-coincidence of the axis of the movable rudder 702 and the axis of the rotating shaft 611. One side of the second connecting shaft 608 is connected to the rotating shaft 611 and fixed by a locking nut 609.

[0080] The inner side of the locking nut 609 is provided with a conical surface that cooperates with the outer side of the rotating shaft 611, and together with the groove 6101 on the rotating shaft 611, it realizes the locking of the second connecting shaft 608. The rotating shaft 611 is installed on the rotating shaft base 507 of the base assembly 50 through a bearing 610, enabling the rotating shaft 611 to rotate freely. One end of the rotating shaft 611 is provided with a second wire rope pressing plate 612, a second wire rope fixing bolt 613, and a sensor set screw 614. The wire rope 409 is fixed on the rotating shaft 611 through the second wire rope pressing plate 612 and the second wire rope fixing bolt 613. There is a blind hole for installing the angular displacement sensor 205 on the right side of the rotating shaft 611. The sensor set screw 614 can lock the input shaft of the angular displacement sensor 205.

[0081] The tail vertebra adapter 602 is installed on the surface of the tested movable rudder 701, and the tail vertebra adapter 602 serves as a connection interface between the folding rudder 70 and other transmission components;

[0082] The universal joint coupling 606 is located between the tail vertebra adapter 602 and the rotating shaft 611. The universal joint coupling 606 can reduce the influence caused by the non-collinearity of the axis of the folding rudder rotating shaft and the axis of the rotating shaft 611 of this testing device;

[0083] The first connecting shaft 603 and the second connecting shaft 608 are both square shafts. The two square shafts are respectively located at both ends of the universal joint coupling 606, and the two square shafts serve as interfaces between the universal joint coupling 606 and other transmission components;

[0084] A sleeve 604 is located between the caudal vertebra adapter 602 and the adjacent first connecting shaft 603. The sleeve 604 can slide along the first connecting shaft 603. After contacting both the caudal vertebra adapter 602 and the adjacent first connecting shaft 603 simultaneously, the sleeve set screw 605 on the sleeve 604 can be used to fix it. When replacing the tested folding rudder 70 of the same model, the sleeve 604 can be used for quick disassembly and connection.

[0085] A rotating shaft 611 is located between the angular displacement sensor 205 and the universal joint coupling 606 and is fixed on the base assembly 50. Blind holes are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 611. One end is connected to the second connecting shaft 608, and the other end is connected to the angular displacement sensor 205. The rotating shaft 611 is used to transmit the movement when the folding rudder 70 unfolds and the torque generated by the loading assembly.

[0086] The method for dynamically testing the unfolding of a folding rudder using the above device includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 1, assemble this device;

[0088] Step 2, replace the caudal vertebra of the folding rudder 70 with the caudal vertebra adapter 602 and install the folding rudder 70 on the folding rudder base 504.

[0089] Step 3, move the folding rudder base 504 to the test position and fix it;

[0090] Step 4, use the sleeve 604 to connect the caudal vertebra adapter 602 and the first connecting shaft 603, and use the sleeve set screw 605 to fix the sleeve 604.

[0091] Step 5, open the data analysis software in the computer 201 and adjust the tension adjusting nut 401 according to the reading, and set the load of the loading assembly 40 as required.

[0092] Step 6, adjust the installation position of the limiter mounting base 302, and fold the folding rudder 70 to the specified angle and then fix it with the limit pin shaft 301.

[0093] Step 7, perform continuous sampling through the computer 201. Click the start continuous sampling button in the data analysis software, then release the fixation of the moving rudder surface 702. When the folding rudder 70 is fully unfolded, click the end continuous acquisition button in the data analysis software. At this time, the software ends the data acquisition, automatically saves the data, plots the graph, and calculates the unfolding time of the folding rudder.

[0094] Step 8, repeat steps 6 - 7 for multiple repeated tests to ensure the sampling accuracy.

[0095] The method for calculating the unfolding time of a folding rudder using the above device includes the following steps:

[0096] Step 1: Read the sequence of motion angle data A[1, 2, 3, ..., n] and the corresponding sequence of time data T[1, 2, 3, ..., n] collected during the unfolding process of the folding rudder 70,

[0097] [1, 2, 3, ..., n] are the index values of the data sequences;

[0098] Step 2: Search in the sequence of motion angle data A[1, 2, 3, ..., n] for the corresponding index value i when the motion angle is (A[n] - A[1]) / 2,

[0099] A[1] is the angle value collected when the folding rudder 70 is in the folded state, A[n] is the angle value collected when the folding rudder 70 is in the unfolded state, and (A[n] - A[1]) / 2 is the angle value collected when the folding rudder 70 is unfolded to half;

[0100] Step 3: Search in the sequence of motion angle data A[1, 2, 3, ..., n]. Starting from A[i], the index i decreases. When A[i] equals A[1] for the first time, stop the search and record the index value at this time as i s , then T[i s is the start time of the motion of the folding rudder 70;

[0101] Step 4: Search in the sequence of motion angle data A[1, 2, 3, ..., n]. Starting from A[i], the index i increases. When A[i] equals A[n] for the first time, stop the search and record the index value at this time as i e , then T[i e is the stop time of the motion of the folding rudder 70;

[0102] Step 5: Calculate the unfolding time T of the folding rudder 70 u = T[i e - T[i s .
