Attached Figure Description

[0055] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a gas injection control method for an aircraft defrosting vehicle, provided as an embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a gas injection control system for an aircraft defrosting vehicle, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0058] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a gas injection control method for an aircraft defrosting vehicle, comprising the following steps:

[0060] Step 1: Obtain frost data and moisture distribution map at the bottom of the frost layer on the aircraft surface; the frost data includes frost thickness and frost location distribution map; the bottom of the frost layer refers to the contact surface between the aircraft surface and the frost layer.

[0061] Step 2: Generate the aircraft surface defrosting demand index based on the frost thickness and frost location distribution map;

[0062] Step 3: Determine the defrosting method for the aircraft surface based on the aircraft surface defrosting demand index; the defrosting methods include near-parallel spraying and near-vertical spraying.

[0063] Step 4: Based on the defrosting method of the aircraft surface frost layer, obtain the aircraft surface tilt angle, ambient wind speed, ambient wind angle, aircraft surface temperature and frost layer temperature, establish a jet angle analysis model, and generate jet angle adjustment values;

[0064] Step 5: Adjust the spray angle of the defrosting truck nozzles according to the spray angle adjustment value.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step two specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] S10: Generate a frost thickness state index based on the frost thickness; where the frost thickness state index refers to the ratio between the frost thickness and the frost thickness threshold; the frost thickness threshold refers to the frost thickness boundary value at which the defrosting method needs to be changed;

[0067] It should be explained that the theoretical spray angle of the defrosting truck will vary depending on the thickness of the frost layer. For example, when the frost layer is 1-2 mm thick, the spray angle can be relatively small, and the more concentrated spray can effectively remove the frost layer. Thin frost layers are easily removed without much time. When the frost layer is 3-5 mm thick, the spray angle needs to be slightly adjusted, possibly using a medium spray angle to ensure that the liquid covers the surface and effectively removes the frost. When the frost layer is thicker than 5 mm, the spray angle usually needs to be larger. The pressure and angle of the sprayed liquid help to thoroughly remove the frost layer and can more effectively clean large surfaces.

[0068] S11: Generate the frost location distribution index based on the frost location distribution map;

[0069] S12: Generate the moisture state index at the bottom of the frost layer based on the water area at the bottom of the frost layer;

[0070] S13: Based on the frost thickness state index, frost location distribution index, and frost bottom moisture distribution index, establish a defrosting demand analysis model to generate the aircraft surface defrosting demand index.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frost layer location distribution index is generated in the following manner:

[0072] Based on the frost distribution map, generate the total frost area;

[0073] It should be explained that the frost location distribution map refers to the distribution map of the frost location within the current defrosting area on the aircraft surface, and this distribution map includes the area of ​​the frost. In addition, the frost location distribution map can be drawn from visual images obtained by image sensors. This drawing method is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] A frost location distribution index is generated based on the total area of ​​the frost layer and the total area of ​​the corresponding defrosting area on the aircraft surface. The frost location distribution index refers to the ratio between the total area of ​​the frost layer and the total area of ​​the corresponding defrosting area on the aircraft surface.

[0075] It should be explained that the total area of ​​the corresponding aircraft surface defrosting area refers to a certain area of ​​the aircraft surface or the entire area of ​​the aircraft surface; for example, if the aircraft surface defrosting area is the upper surface of the wing, then the frost distribution map is the distribution of the frost on the upper surface of the wing.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for generating the moisture state index at the bottom of the frost layer is as follows:

[0077] The area ratio is calculated based on the area of ​​moisture at the bottom of the frost layer and the total area of ​​the frost layer; the area ratio refers to the ratio between the area of ​​moisture at the bottom of the frost layer and the total area of ​​the frost layer.

[0078] Based on the area ratio and the ratio threshold, a ratio difference is generated; the ratio difference refers to the difference between the area ratio and the ratio threshold; the ratio threshold refers to the minimum water content that can reduce the friction between the frost layer and the aircraft surface.

[0079] Based on the percentage difference and the percentage threshold, a moisture state index at the bottom of the frost layer is generated; the moisture state index at the bottom of the frost layer refers to the ratio between the percentage difference and the percentage threshold.

[0080] It should be explained that the moisture on the contact surface between the aircraft surface and the bottom of the frost layer can effectively reduce the friction between the two surfaces, thereby reducing the thrust required for the frost layer to slide when the aircraft is sliding. The more area covered by moisture, the more significant the reduction in friction. For example, if the moisture content on the contact surface between the aircraft surface and the bottom of the frost layer exceeds half of the contact area, the thrust required for the frost layer to slide when the aircraft is sliding will be much less than the thrust required when the moisture content on the contact surface is less than half of the contact area.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the expression of the defrosting demand analysis model is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] In the expression, K represents the aircraft surface defrosting demand index, and H... speed M represents the frost thickness index. area α represents the frost layer location distribution index, δ represents the frost layer bottom moisture distribution index, α and β are both weighting coefficients, and α+β=1;

[0084] It should be noted that α and β are set values, which are determined by those skilled in the art; the methods of determining these values ​​include, but are not limited to, expert consultation, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the defrosting mode of the aircraft surface frost layer is specifically as follows:

[0086] Compare the aircraft surface defrosting demand index with the aircraft surface defrosting demand index threshold;

[0087] It should be noted that the threshold for the aircraft surface defrosting demand index is a set value, and its value is set by relevant personnel in this field.

[0088] When the aircraft surface defrosting demand index is less than or equal to the aircraft surface defrosting demand index threshold, the defrosting method for the aircraft surface frost layer is determined to be near-parallel spray; when the aircraft surface frost layer defrosting method is near-parallel spray, the theoretical spray angle of the defrosting vehicle should be modified to the spray angle corresponding to the near-parallel spray method.

[0089] When the aircraft surface defrosting demand index is greater than the aircraft surface defrosting demand index threshold, the defrosting method for the aircraft surface frost layer is determined to be near vertical spray; when the aircraft surface frost layer defrosting method is near vertical spray, the theoretical spray angle of the defrosting vehicle should be modified to the spray angle corresponding to the near vertical spray method.

[0090] It should be explained that near-parallel injection and near-vertical injection are two defrosting methods formed by different injection angles of the defrosting vehicle; the injection angle refers to the angle formed between the path of the injected gas and the surface of the aircraft.

[0091] Furthermore, near-parallel jetting is suitable for thinner frost layers. The airflow angle is relatively gentle, which helps to evenly cover the aircraft surface and effectively removes lighter frost layers. For example, the jet angle for near-parallel jetting is between 30° and 45°. Near-vertical jetting is suitable for thicker frost layers. The airflow at this angle is more concentrated, making it suitable for handling more stubborn or thicker frost layers. For example, the jet angle for near-vertical jetting is between 45° and 60°.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step four specifically includes:

[0093] S40: Obtain the aircraft surface tilt angle and generate a tilt angle influence coefficient based on the aircraft surface tilt angle; where the tilt angle influence coefficient refers to the ratio of the difference between the aircraft surface tilt angle and the tilt angle critical value to the tilt angle critical value.

[0094] It should be explained that the critical tilt angle refers to the minimum tilt angle that can force the frost layer to move due to its own gravity; the frost layer adheres to the aircraft surface, that is, the tilt angle of the aircraft surface is the same as the tilt angle of the frost layer.

[0095] S41: Obtain ambient wind speed and generate ambient wind speed influence index; whereby, ambient wind speed influence index refers to the ratio of the difference between ambient wind speed and the gas movement speed of the gas sprayed by the defrosting truck to the gas movement speed of the gas sprayed by the defrosting truck.

[0096] S42: Obtain the ambient wind angle and generate the ambient wind angle factor; whereby the ambient wind angle factor refers to the ratio of the difference between the ambient wind angle and the defrosting vehicle spray angle to the angle threshold.

[0097] It should be explained that if the angle difference between the ambient wind angle and the defrosting truck's spray angle is too large, the thrust generated by the two on the frost layer will cancel each other out, thereby reducing the force exerted on the frost layer by the defrosting truck's gas spray. The greater the angle difference, the more severe the cancellation.

[0098] S43: Obtain the aircraft surface temperature and frost temperature, and generate a temperature difference influence factor; the temperature difference influence factor refers to the ratio of the difference between the aircraft surface temperature and the frost temperature to the temperature difference threshold.

[0099] It should be explained that there is a temperature difference between the aircraft surface temperature and the frost temperature. This temperature difference can cause the frost to melt on its own under certain circumstances. For example, if the aircraft surface temperature is higher than the frost temperature, the frost will absorb heat from the aircraft surface and melt after absorbing the heat, thus reducing the thickness of the frost. If the aircraft surface temperature is lower than the frost temperature, the aircraft surface will absorb heat from the frost, thus increasing the adhesion between the frost and the aircraft surface after absorbing the heat, making the frost more stubborn.

[0100] S44: Establish a jet angle analysis model, and substitute the current jet angle, tilt angle influence coefficient, ambient wind speed influence index, ambient wind angle factor and temperature difference influence factor into the jet angle analysis model to generate jet angle adjustment values.

[0101] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the expression of the injection angle analysis model is as follows:

[0102] Δθ=θ0*{(1+θ air )*a1+F envi *(1+θ envi )*a2+(1-T diff )*a3}-θ jet ;

[0103] In the expression, Δθ represents the injection angle adjustment value, θ0 represents the theoretical injection angle, and θ air This represents the tilt angle influence coefficient, F. envi The value θ represents the environmental wind speed impact index. envi T represents the environmental wind angle factor. diff This represents the temperature difference influence factor. a1, a2, and a3 are all model parameters, and a1+a2+a3=1;

[0104] It should be explained that the theoretical spray angle θ0 is determined based on the defrosting method of the frost layer on the aircraft surface; this angle is the median or average of the range of spray angles corresponding to the defrosting method of the aircraft surface frost layer.

[0105] In addition, a1, a2, and a3 are proportional coefficients, which are set by relevant personnel in the field; their values ​​are determined by methods including but not limited to expert consultation.

[0106] Please see Figure 2 The present invention also provides a gas injection control system for an aircraft defrosting vehicle, the system comprising:

[0107] The frost data acquisition module is used to acquire frost data on the aircraft surface and a moisture distribution map at the bottom of the frost layer; the frost data includes frost thickness and frost location distribution map; the bottom of the frost layer refers to the contact surface between the aircraft surface and the frost layer;
