Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of UAV lift testing, and more specifically, to a UAV propeller lift testing platform and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most mainstream propeller lift tests are carried out under standard atmospheric pressure and in a dry environment, and cannot simulate the influence of special environments such as low pressure and fog on lift performance. For example, when operating in plateau or high-altitude areas, the UAV faces a low-pressure environment with thin air, and the aerodynamic efficiency of the propeller will decrease significantly. The existing test platforms cannot accurately evaluate the lift attenuation in this scenario, resulting in risks such as insufficient power and sudden reduction in endurance during actual flight of the UAV. In addition, in tasks such as agricultural plant protection and meteorological monitoring that require passing through fog or humid environments, the surface of the propeller is likely to change its aerodynamic shape due to fog adhesion, causing lift fluctuations or even stall. However, traditional test platforms lack the ability to simulate fog environments and are difficult to detect such potential defects in advance.

By deforming the deformable part to expand the space, the internal air density can be reduced, simulating a low-pressure environment such as a plateau or high-altitude area, so as to evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency and lift attenuation of the propeller under different air densities, providing an accurate prediction for the flight performance of the drone in a special environment and solving the problem of a single test environment.

[0016] 3.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the figure, a lift test platform for a drone propeller according to the present invention includes a test base 1. A fixing plate 2 is installed at the center of the top of the test base 1. A test module 3 is installed at the center of the bottom of the fixing plate 2. The test module 3 includes a force sensor or a weighing device. A display screen 18 is further provided on the outside of the test base 1. The display screen 18 is used to display data. A driving motor 4 is provided below the fixing plate 2. The driving end of the driving motor 4 is connected to a sleeve 5. The sleeve 5 is limited and slidably sleeved with a limiting rod 6. A pressing ball 7 in contact with the fixing plate 2 is fixed on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the limiting rod 6. A test propeller 8 is installed at the top end of the limiting rod 6.

[0032] Working principle: When the external control structure controls the driving motor 4 to operate and the test propeller 8 rotates, a rising force is driven on the limiting rod 6. The pressing ball 7 contacts the test module 3. The upward pulling force generated by the propeller, that is, the lift force, is measured through the force sensor or the weighing device. Thus, the lift force test can be completed.

[0033] In order to achieve more accurate testing, it is necessary to isolate the external environment. An inner and outer cover 9 is installed on the top of the test base 1. The bottom outer periphery of the inner and outer cover 9 is installed and sealed through a rubber sealing ring and bolts, so that it will not be affected by the outside during detection.

[0034] In order to test in environments with different air densities, the inner and outer cover 9 is composed of an outer cover 91 and an inner cover 92. The outer cover 91 is made of a hard material, and the top part of the outer cover 91 is a transparent glass for observing the inside. The inner cover 92 includes a deformable part 922. The deformable part 922 is made of a deformable material for changing the internal space volume. The deformable material can be selected as Wood's alloy that can be deformed by heat. If it is Wood's alloy, heating pipes, wires and other devices need to be installed on the inner wall or outer periphery for deformation control. This is arranged according to the selected material. Sealing treatment is added to the connection parts at both ends of the deformable part 922. The inner cover 92 also includes a hard connection part 921. The hard connection part 921 is connected to the deformable part 922. A transparent glass part 923 is fixed on the top of the deformable part 922. The transparent glass part 923 is convenient for observing the inside.

[0035] It should be noted that according to different detection levels, a hydraulic rod connecting the transparent glass part 923 and the top part of the outer cover 91 can be selectively installed to assist in position control, avoiding situations such as excessive pressure difference causing position deviation, etc. Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the air density inside, the deformable part 922 is deformed to expand the internal space. Since the inside is sealed, the air density decreases as the space volume increases. Further, an environment simulating low pressure can be achieved.

[0036] In order to simulate an environment of low pressure and low temperature, a liquid storage cavity 10 is provided between the outer cover 91 and the inner cover 92. The liquid storage cavity 10 stores water liquid inside. Multiple liquid inlet heads 11 are installed at the top position of the deformable part 922 and the inner cover 92. A liquid delivery part 12 is installed above the liquid inlet heads 11. The liquid delivery part 12 includes a connecting rod 121. The connecting rod 121 is fixed to the inner top wall of the outer cover 91. The bottom of the connecting rod 121 is connected with a plurality of connecting sleeves 122 that fit the inner wall of the liquid inlet head 11. A sealing rubber ring is bonded to the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 122. A water storage space 123 for storing the corresponding amount of water liquid is provided between the multiple connecting sleeves 122. A liquid storage cylinder 13 is provided at the bottom of the liquid inlet head 11. The inside of the liquid storage cylinder 13 is in a low-vacuum environment that reduces the boiling point of the water liquid. The liquid storage cylinder 13 includes a positioning ring 131. A plurality of drainage grooves 15 are formed in the inner wall of the liquid inlet head 11. The drainage grooves 15 communicate with the positioning ring 131. The top of the positioning ring 131 is connected with a negative pressure air port communicating with an external air extraction device. A bottom plate 132 is provided below the positioning ring 131. An extension connecting rod 133 is fixed between the bottom plate 132 and the positioning ring 131. A plurality of fixed arc baffles 134 are fixed to the bottom edge part of the positioning ring 131. A sealed plate body is provided between the multiple fixed arc baffles 134. A heating plate 151 is provided on the top of the bottom plate 132. The peripheral material of the heating plate 151 can be made of a material with high heat insulation performance. A heating wire 152 is installed in a serpentine shape inside the heating plate 151. A heat exchange and condensation plate 153 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the positioning ring 131. The heat exchange and condensation plate 153 is provided with a plurality of liquid inlets, which are convenient for the entry of water liquid. A plurality of external heat exchange rods 154 are connected to the outer edge of the heat exchange and condensation plate 153.

[0037] If the power supply is connected by wiring through the inner and outer covers 9, a sealing rubber ring needs to be added to the part where the wire passes through to ensure internal sealing.

[0038] It should be introduced that the internal low-pressure situation of the air can be controlled. For example, when the internal air pressure drops to 6.3 kPa (about 6% of the standard atmospheric pressure), the boiling point of water can drop to 40 °C.

[0039] Working principle: First, an external air extraction device is used to suck the air inside the liquid storage cylinder 13 to create a low-pressure space. When the deformable part 922 deforms to expand the space, the transparent glass part 923 rises. Since the liquid storage cavity 10 is filled with water liquid, during the rising process, the connecting sleeve 122 descends inside the liquid inlet head 11. The water storage space 123 between every two adjacent connecting sleeves 122 is fixed. After the fixed descent, a certain amount of water liquid will enter the drainage groove 15. With the cooperation of negative pressure suction, the water liquid quickly enters the liquid storage cylinder 13.

[0040] Through the heating of the external heating wire 152 (at this time, the heating temperature is relatively low to ensure that a cycle can be generated between states), the heating plate 151 is heated up to heat the water liquid. Due to the low-pressure environment inside, the boiling point of the water liquid is greatly reduced, enabling it to boil rapidly and turn into mist. The mist rises and contacts the heat exchange and condensation plate 153. Multiple external heat exchange rods 154 on the side of the heat exchange and condensation plate 153 absorb the internal heat. Thus, when the mist contacts the heat exchange and condensation plate 153, it can be transformed into water liquid. Through this transformation process, heat can be quickly absorbed to achieve cooling.

[0041] It is worth introducing that the above cooling process is fully sealed without any external gas entering, which can ensure the consistency of the internal low-pressure coefficient environment and is helpful for the test.

[0042] When a mist environment needs to be simulated, a closing structure 14 is provided at the lower half of the liquid storage cylinder 13. The closing structure 14 includes a closing piece 141 sunken inside the top of the bottom plate 132. The heating plate 151 is sunken at the center position of the closing piece 141. A rotating motor 142 is installed at the center of the bottom of the closing piece 141. A waterproof mist housing is provided outside the rotating motor 142. A plurality of closing arc baffles 143 are fixed on the outer peripheral edge of the top of the closing piece 141. The plurality of closing arc baffles 143 and the fixed arc baffle 134 form a closed ring body. A sealing rubber layer is bonded to the contact part between the closing arc baffle 143 and the fixed arc baffle 134.

[0043] Working principle: Since the air inside the liquid storage cylinder 13 is fixed and can be controlled through an external air extraction device, by increasing the heating temperature of the heating wire 152 (this heating temperature is relatively high), after all the water liquid is converted into water mist, the rotating motor 142 operates to drive the rapid opening of the closing piece 141. The water mist inside enters the inner cover 92, and a certain amount of water liquid is quantitatively input into the water storage space 123, enabling the degree of mist inside to be regulated.

[0044] It is worth introducing that although an external fog-making device can also achieve the delivery of mist, it will also bring in external air and other substances, affecting the consistency of the test; while the above process of inputting mist is also fully sealed without external air entering, which can ensure the consistency of the internal low-pressure coefficient environment and is helpful for the test.

[0045] To improve the efficiency of fog output, a rotating shaft 144 is provided at the center of the top of the rotary closing piece 141. A plurality of first extrusion rotary pieces 145 are fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 144. A round head 146 is provided at the center of the inner periphery of the positioning ring 131. A connecting rod 147 is connected between the round head 146 and the positioning ring 131. The outer periphery of the round head 146 is rotatably connected with a one-way shaft sleeve 148. The one-way shaft sleeve 148 allows free rotation in one direction and non-rotation in the other direction. A plurality of second extrusion rotary pieces 149 are connected to the outer periphery of the one-way shaft sleeve 148. A honeycomb film 16 made of a soft material is bonded between the plurality of second extrusion rotary pieces 149 and the first extrusion rotary pieces 145. The honeycomb film 16 helps to improve the efficiency of heating and atomization. The first extrusion rotary pieces 145 and the second extrusion rotary pieces 149 are in a wavy fan-shaped structure.

[0046] Working principle: During the process of the cyclone opening the rotary closing piece 141, due to its wavy fan-shaped structure and the design of the plurality of second extrusion rotary pieces 149 and the first extrusion rotary pieces 145, when it is opened, the first extrusion rotary pieces 145 squeeze the honeycomb film 16. At the same time, the second extrusion rotary pieces 149 limit the rotation direction, and a rotating fan-shaped body can be formed. Through the space of squeezing the honeycomb film 16 and the rotation of the fan-shaped body, the fog can be quickly discharged and evenly distributed.

[0047] To improve the sealing performance, an elastic rubber body 17 is wound and tightened between the top edge of the rotary closing piece 141 and the bottom edge of the positioning ring 131. The mutual tightening of the multi-strand elastic rubber body 17 improves the sealing and at the same time improves the structural stability.

[0048] A working method of an unmanned aerial vehicle propeller lift test platform; I. Basic lift test process Installation and initialization: Install the test propeller 8 at the top of the limit rod 6 to ensure a firm connection. Start the drive motor 4 through the external control structure to drive the propeller to rotate and generate an upward lift force. The limit rod 6 moves upward due to the lift force, and the pressure contact ball 7 at its bottom contacts the pressure test module 3 at the bottom of the fixed plate 2. The force sensor or weighing device measures the lift data in real time and displays it through the display screen.

[0049] Standard environment test: Under the default state, the inner and outer covers 9 are kept sealed, and the test is carried out under standard atmospheric pressure and normal temperature environment to obtain the basic lift data of the propeller.

[0050] II. Low-pressure environment simulation test Adjust the internal space volume: When it is necessary to simulate a low-pressure environment such as a plateau scene, control the deformable part 922 to be deformed by heating such as Wood's alloy heating to expand the internal space of the inner cover 92, resulting in a decrease in air density and forming a low-pressure environment. The position of the transparent glass part 923 can be assisted by a hydraulic rod to avoid deviation caused by too large a pressure difference.

[0051] Low-pressure environment lift test: Repeat the basic test process, measure the lift data of the propeller in a low-pressure environment, compare with the standard environment data, and evaluate the attenuation effect of rarefied air on lift.

[0052] III. Low-pressure and low-temperature environment simulation test Construct a low-pressure environment: First, evacuate the inside of the liquid storage cylinder 13 through an external air extraction device to form a low-vacuum environment, reduce the boiling point of the water liquid (such as reducing it to 40 °C, which can be further reduced in actual use so that heating is no longer required, and heat exchange is carried out in cooperation with the external environment to achieve state conversion), control the deformation of the deformable part 922, expand the inner cover space, and further reduce the air pressure inside the inner cover.

[0053] Cooling process: The heating plate 151 heats the water liquid in the liquid storage cylinder through the heating wire 152, causing it to boil rapidly under low pressure to generate mist. The mist rises to the heat exchange and condensation plate 153, and is condensed into liquid water through heat dissipation by the external heat exchange rod 154, circulating to absorb heat and reduce the temperature inside the inner cover. The whole process is sealed to ensure that the low-pressure environment is not disturbed by external air.

[0054] Low-temperature and low-pressure environment test: In the low-pressure environment after cooling, start the propeller test and record the lift changes under low temperature and low pressure.

[0055] IV. Mist environment simulation test Mist generation: The liquid delivery part 12 quantitatively delivers water liquid to the liquid storage cylinder 13. The heating plate 151 raises the temperature to completely vaporize the water liquid into water mist. The rotating motor 142 drives the rotary closing piece 141 to quickly open. The first extrusion rotary piece 145 and the second extrusion rotary piece 149 cooperate to squeeze the honeycomb film 16, and uniformly discharge the mist into the inner cover 92. The propeller rotates in the mist environment to simulate scenarios such as agricultural plant protection and meteorological monitoring, observe the influence of mist adhesion on the aerodynamic shape of the propeller, and measure the lift value.

[0056] V. Data recording In each test session, the display screen records parameters such as lift value, air pressure, temperature, and mist concentration in real time. Compare the data differences in different environments to provide a basis for the design and flight strategy optimization of the drone.

[0057] Key technical points Sealing design: The inner and outer covers ensure airtightness through rubber sealing rings and bolts to avoid interference from the external environment.

[0058] Environmental controllability: Through modules such as the deformable part, liquid storage cavity, and rotary closing structure, accurately adjust the air pressure, temperature, and mist concentration to achieve multi-scenario simulation.

[0059] Efficient heat dissipation and atomization: Utilize the condensation cycle and extrusion rotary piece structure to improve the cooling efficiency and mist uniformity, and ensure the accuracy of the test.

[0060] Through multi-environment simulation, this working method solves the problem of the single scenario of traditional test platforms and provides comprehensive technical support for the performance evaluation of drone propellers in complex environments.
