Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft manufacturing, and is an aircraft fuel distribution control method and system for aircraft manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of modern large civil aircraft, the fuel system needs to dynamically adjust the fuel distribution between fuel tanks to meet key requirements such as center of gravity control and anti-icing. Compared with the transfer of fuel from the fuel tank to the engine to obtain flight power, the cross-tank fuel transfer to counter non-steady airflow is a normal operation. However, the phenomenon of fuel temperature stratification leads to significant risks in this process. Since the aircraft skin is exposed to the low temperature environment at high altitude (usually below -40°C), the fuel at the bottom of the fuel tank is continuously cooled through the heat conduction of the skin, while the top of the fuel tank is significantly warmer due to the heat dissipation of electronic equipment and internal heat convection (the temperature difference can reach more than 30°C). Coupled with the low thermal conductivity of aviation fuel, a stable vertical temperature gradient is naturally formed. Due to the continuous action of the low skin temperature during the high-altitude cruise phase, "thermal stratification" is inevitable; due to the inevitable "thermal stratification" phenomenon, the following problems will occur: the risk of accidentally pumping supercooled fuel and the risk of dynamic blockage of pipelines. When pumping fuel from the bottom of the source fuel tank, the supercooled layer (close to the freezing point, such as -47°C) may be pumped into the transfer pipeline. If the target fuel tank is at a higher temperature (such as -20°C), the mixing of hot and cold fuel will generate a violent thermal shock: on the one hand, the supercooled fuel contacting the warm tank wall instantaneously may cause local icing; on the other hand, the viscosity of the cold fuel increases sharply (for example, the viscosity at -40°C increases by about 300% compared to 0°C), significantly reducing the fluidity. At the same time, when there are horizontal or low-inclination pipe sections in the transfer path, the highly viscous cold fuel is prone to stay and form wax deposits. When the target fuel tank has a small capacity (such as a trim fuel tank) and insufficient heat buffering capacity, the probability of pipeline blockage is further amplified. The existing control strategies mainly rely on preset transfer plans and static temperature monitoring, lacking a comprehensive risk assessment of the dynamic evolution of stratification (such as the change of the thermocline gradient), the real-time thermal state of the target fuel tank (temperature uniformity, heat capacity), and the pipeline operating conditions (gravity valve opening, inclination), resulting in the inability to avoid accidentally pumping supercooled fuel in a timely manner or predicting the blockage critical point, which may lead to system failures and even fuel supply interruptions. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Specifically, S4 includes: Obtain the cross-tank mis-drawing risk value calculated in step S₂ and the predicted blockage probability value of the target fuel tank state output in step S3 , and perform weighted synthesis to obtain the cross-tank transfer anomaly index , specifically: .

The "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selectively exclusive embodiment from other embodiments.

[0021] Embodiment 1: As Figure 1 shown, a method for controlling the fuel distribution of an aircraft for aircraft manufacturing according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, includes the following specific steps: S1: Obtain the temperature stratification information of the aircraft source fuel tank, and at the same time obtain the cross-tank transfer plan data of the aircraft cross-tank transfer system, and perform stratification-target matching analysis; S11: Obtain the depth-temperature gradient information of the aircraft source fuel tank through a distributed optical fiber temperature measurement system, focus on monitoring the temperature of the top area of the aircraft source fuel tank and the temperature of the skin in contact with the bottom area, and at the same time obtain the height of the fuel extraction port of the source fuel tank, the capacity and current oil temperature of the target fuel tank, the planned transfer volume, and the gravity transfer flow rate in the cross-tank transfer plan data of the aircraft cross-tank transfer system; It should be noted that the temperature of the top area of the aircraft source fuel tank will be affected by the heat dissipation of electronic equipment; S12: Perform hierarchical-goal matching analysis based on the depth-temperature gradient information of the aircraft source fuel tank and the thermal state parameters of the target fuel tank to obtain the cross-tank matching degree. ; S121: Construct the state feature matrix of the aircraft source fuel tank. ; S122: Construct the state feature matrix of the target fuel tank. ; It should be noted that considering that the aircraft source fuel tank (fuel supply side) needs to focus on the fuel output stability (temperature gradient, viscosity change), while the target fuel tank (fuel receiving side) needs to focus on the thermal shock resistance (temperature fluctuation, heating rate), so in this embodiment, a specific acquisition strategy for the state feature matrix of the aircraft source fuel tank and the state feature matrix of the target fuel tank is as follows: Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the state feature matrix of the aircraft source fuel tank is: ; Among them, the first row of is the temperature distribution feature, is the temperature at the top of the aircraft source fuel tank, is the thermocline gradient, is the temperature at the bottom of the source fuel tank; the second row of is the temperature field differential feature, is the first derivative of the temperature at the bottom of the fuel tank, reflecting the temperature change rate of the bottom boundary layer; is the second derivative of the temperature in the vertical direction, reflecting the stability of the temperature stratification; is the total capacity of the source fuel tank, determining the total amount of transferable fuel; the third row of is the physical feature, is the effective thermal conductivity of the fuel, reflecting the ability of the fuel to conduct heat; is the volumetric heat capacity of the fuel, reflecting the thermal inertia of the fuel per unit volume; is the dynamic viscosity of the fuel at the temperature at the bottom of the source fuel tank (unit: Pa·s). Reflecting the fluidity of cold fuel.

[0022] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the state feature matrix of the target fuel tank is: ; Among them, the first row of is the thermal state feature; is the average temperature of the target fuel tank, is the internal temperature fluctuation range of the target fuel tank, reflecting the temperature uniformity; is the heat capacity of the target fuel tank, reflecting the ability to absorb heat; The second row of... is the kinetic characteristics of temperature change; is the first derivative of the average temperature of the target fuel tank with respect to time, reflecting the current temperature rise / fall rate; is the second derivative of the average temperature of the target fuel tank, reflecting the acceleration of temperature change; is the remaining volume of the target fuel tank, determining the amount of fuel that can be received; The third row of... is the physical characteristics; is the effective thermal conductivity of the wall of the target fuel tank, reflecting the heat exchange efficiency between the tank wall and the fuel; is the volumetric heat capacity of the fuel in the target fuel tank; is the dynamic viscosity of the fuel at the average temperature of the target fuel tank, reflecting the fluidity after injection; S123: Perform singular value decomposition on the state characteristic matrix of the aircraft source fuel tank and the state characteristic matrix of the target fuel tank, and take the eigenvector corresponding to the largest singular value to obtain the representative eigenvector of the aircraft source fuel tank and the representative eigenvector of the target fuel tank ; S124: The cross-tank matching degree is based on the representative eigenvector of the aircraft source fuel tank and the representative eigenvector of the target fuel tank, and perform hierarchical-target matching analysis to obtain the cross-tank matching degree , specifically: .

[0023] S13: Obtain the transfer plan nodes with a cross-tank matching degree greater than or equal to the set threshold, and calculate the cross-tank thermal shock risk value caused by thermal stratification for each node ; In another embodiment, the calculation strategy for the thermal shock risk value of the i-th operation node when transferring from the source fuel tank to the d-th target fuel tank is: ; Among them, is the total capacity of the aircraft source fuel tank; is the remaining capacity of the target fuel tank; is the bottom temperature of the aircraft source fuel tank; is the average temperature of the target fuel tank; is the safety temperature difference threshold; is the gravity transfer height difference; is the safety height difference threshold; is the cross-tank matching degree between the aircraft source fuel tank and the target fuel tank; It should be noted that in this embodiment, the thermal shock risk value is used to quantify the thermal shock intensity of the transfer operation, and the thermal shock potential brought by the fuel tank temperature gradient is quantified through the temperature difference term; the pumping rate of cold fuel is quantified through the height difference term; S14: Extract the cross-tank thermal shock risk values caused by thermal stratification at each node. When the cross-tank thermal shock risk value of a node is less than or equal to 1, mark the node as a normal node and perform the basic gravity transfer in the original plan; When the cross-tank thermal shock risk value of a node is greater than 1, mark the node as a high-risk cross-tank transfer node, freeze the original transfer plan, and continue to execute step S2 to correct the transfer plan.

[0024] S2: Perform an analysis of the risk of accidentally pumping supercooled fuel based on the temperature stratification information of the aircraft source fuel tank and the thermal state of the target fuel tank; S21: Obtain the temperature stratification information of the aircraft source fuel tank, including: the fuel tank height of the aircraft source fuel tank 、the thickness of the supercooled layer at the bottom of the aircraft source fuel tank 、the thermocline gradient 、the length of the fuel transfer path from the source fuel tank to the target fuel tank ; S22: Perform an analysis of the risk of accidentally pumping supercooled fuel based on the temperature stratification information of the aircraft source fuel tank and the thermal state of the target fuel tank to obtain the cross-tank accidental pumping risk value .

[0025] In another embodiment, the calculation strategy of the cross-tank accidental pumping risk value is: ; wherein, is the freezing point temperature of the aircraft fuel; Exemplarily, it should be noted that in this embodiment, it should be noted that the cross-tank accidental pumping risk value The numerator term in is used to characterize the stratification hazard degree of the source fuel tank. The thicker the thickness of the supercooled layer at the bottom of the aircraft source fuel tank, the more cold fuel can be accidentally pumped. The larger the thermocline gradient , the more stable the stratification and the more difficult it is to mix the bottom oil; the exponential term is the amplification ratio factor of the fuel supercooling degree, where is the freezing point temperature of the aircraft fuel, and 5 is the unit amplification coefficient of the fuel supercooling degree, indicating that the fuel supercooling degree is amplified every 5 degrees Celsius; Exemplarily, it should be noted that in this embodiment, it should be noted that the cross-tank accidental pumping risk value The denominator term in is used to characterize the anti-shock ability of the target fuel tank, and the length The ratio to the fuel tank height of the aircraft source fuel tank characterizes the tortuosity of the fuel in the transfer path. When the fuel tank height is large (stratification is significant) and the transfer path is short, the fuel quickly passes through the supercooled layer, and the risk of misfueling is high. That is, the temperature margin of the target fuel tank (distance from the freezing point), and the smaller it is, the higher the risk.

[0026] It should also be noted that is used to quantify the thermal shock amplification effect when transferring from a large fuel tank to a small fuel tank.

[0027] S3: Predict the pipeline blockage risk based on the operating status of the aircraft cross-tank transfer system, the matching of transfer parameters and the target fuel tank; S31: Obtain the operating status and transfer parameters of the aircraft cross-tank transfer system, including: the opening degree of the gravity valve , the pipeline inclination angle , the metal wall temperature of the target fuel tank ; S32: Import the parameters obtained in S31 into the cross-tank transfer dynamic risk assessment strategy to obtain the cross-tank transfer dynamic risk coefficient .

[0028] In another embodiment, the calculation strategy of the cross-tank transfer dynamic risk coefficient is: ; It should be noted that the cross-tank transfer dynamic risk coefficient is used to quantify the real-time conditions of pipeline blockage. When the pipeline inclination angle is close to horizontal, the risk of fuel retention doubles; it should also be noted that the smaller the opening degree of the gravity valve, the lower the flow rate, the longer the fuel retention time, and the higher the risk; S33: Extract the cross-tank transfer dynamic risk coefficient calculated in S32, and combine it with the matching situation of the target fuel tank to predict the pipeline blockage risk, and obtain the predicted blockage probability value of the target fuel tank state , specifically: ; Among them, is the capacity of the target fuel tank; is the capacity of the aircraft source fuel tank.

[0029] It should be noted that for the exponential term , considering that the small fuel tank cannot buffer the cold oil shock, the exponential term characterizes that when the capacity of the target fuel tank is much smaller than the aircraft source fuel tank , the exponential term approaches 0, significantly increases the pipeline blockage risk of the small fuel tank receiving a large flow of cold oil; S4: Perform cross-tank transfer anomaly prediction based on the results of the analysis of the risk of accidentally pumping supercooled fuel and the prediction results of the pipeline blockage risk; Obtain the cross-tank accidental pumping risk value calculated in step S2 And the predicted blockage probability value of the target fuel tank state output in step S3 , and perform weighted synthesis to obtain the cross-tank transfer anomaly index , specifically: .

[0030] S5: Dynamically adjust the aircraft fuel transfer strategy based on the cross-tank transfer anomaly prediction results.

[0031] Dynamically adjusting the aircraft fuel transfer strategy includes: When ≥2.0, send a target fuel tank skin heating command to the fuel management system; When 1.4 ≤ <2.0, activate the source fuel tank vortex breaker and lower the height of the fuel pumping port above the thermocline; At the same time, mark all operation records with the cross-tank transfer - stratified risk fault code, store them in the flight data recorder, and send a stratified breaking status report to the on-board maintenance system in real time.
