Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hypersonic technology, and in particular to a hypersonic aerodynamic-optical effect wind tunnel experiment timing coordination system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The aerodynamic-optical effect will cause the image of the imaging target to shift, jitter and blur, and is a key factor affecting the hypersonic dynamic imaging. It is a factor that must be considered in the design of imaging systems such as hypersonic kinetic energy interception, starlight navigation and reconnaissance. Under hypersonic flight conditions, the flow field is accompanied by dissociation, ionization and complex thermo-chemical reactions, making it difficult to accurately numerically predict the aerodynamic-optical effect. Wind tunnel experiments are still the main means for studying the hypersonic aerodynamic-optical effect.
[0003] Achieving hypersonic flight conditions in a wind tunnel requires extremely high driving energy for the wind tunnel, so the wind tunnel is a pulse type wind tunnel, and the effective experiment time is short. The effective time of a domestic and foreign hypersonic wind tunnel at Mach 9 or above is not more than forty milliseconds. The imaging frame frequency of a hypersonic weapon is low, and only one frame of image can be collected within the effective experiment time for examining the performance of the imaging system in the wind tunnel, which puts extremely high requirements on the timing coordination between the wind tunnel operation and the imaging system. In order to realize timing coordination, a trigger signal needs to be output to the imaging system when the hypersonic flow field is established. However, in order to avoid the direct impact of the hypersonic airflow on the pressure sensor, the wind tunnel adopts a flow-around structure to protect the sensor, resulting in a long response time of the pressure sensor and low accuracy in capturing the time when the flow field is established. When a thermocouple sensor is used, its sensitivity is low, the signal amplitude is small, and it is easily affected by electromagnetic interference signals, which can easily cause false triggering.
[0004] Therefore, the timing coordination precision is low when the existing pressure and heat flow sensors are used for timing coordination, and it is difficult to carry out hypersonic aerodynamic-optical effect wind tunnel experiments, which seriously restricts the design of imaging systems such as hypersonic kinetic energy interception, starlight navigation and reconnaissance.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a timing coordination system for hypersonic aero-optical effects wind tunnel experiments, comprising:
[0039] A wind tunnel, which includes an experimental section, is used to create hypersonic flow fields;
[0040] The imaging system is an imaging payload in the wind tunnel experiment of aero-optical effects. It is installed inside the wind tunnel experimental model, receives a trigger signal, and then captures images of the target. The influence of aero-optical effects is determined by analyzing the captured images.
[0041] The sensor assembly, located in the experimental section, is used to detect the establishment status of the hypersonic flow field in the experimental section, and its internal fuse melts when the hypersonic flow field is established in the experimental section.
[0042] A trigger circuit is arranged inside the sensor assembly;
[0043] The trigger circuit is electrically connected to the sensor assembly and the imaging system to establish timing coordination control of the wind tunnel operation and the imaging system;
[0044] When the fuse inside the sensor assembly is blown, the trigger circuit outputs a trigger signal to the imaging system, and at the same time, the imaging system receives the trigger signal to start shooting images.
[0045] The timing coordination system of the wind tunnel experiment mainly arranges the sensor assembly in the experimental section of the wind tunnel, so that it is in the flow field, and establishes the connection between the imaging system and the sensor assembly through the trigger circuit, so that when the experimental section of the wind tunnel forms a hypersonic flow field, the fuse inside the sensor assembly is blown to form an open circuit, and then the trigger circuit outputs a trigger signal to the imaging system, and the imaging system receives the trigger signal to start shooting images, so as to achieve timing coordination control.
[0046] Since the trigger signal is triggered by the open circuit of the trigger circuit, after the sensor assembly is opened, the trigger circuit changes in voltage, and the imaging system can directly collect images according to the voltage mutation, without the need for complex data processing, so that the response speed is faster and the timing coordination control accuracy is higher.
[0047] Compared with the timing coordination control composed of a pressure sensor, the present application adopts the way of sensor circuit blowing, arranges the sensor assembly in the flow field of the experimental section of the wind tunnel, and electrically connects the sensor assembly to the imaging system through the trigger circuit, so that when the experimental section forms a hypersonic flow field, the fuse inside the sensor assembly is blown by the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow, and then the trigger circuit directly outputs a trigger signal to the imaging system, so that the imaging system immediately collects images, thereby improving the response speed and accuracy of the timing system control.
[0048] Based on the above embodiment, a preferred embodiment of the sensor assembly is provided.
[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The sensor assembly includes a sensing head 1, a supporting horizontal rod 2 and a supporting vertical rod 3, the sensing head 1 is installed at the front end of the supporting horizontal rod 2 and faces the flow field direction, and the supporting horizontal rod 2 is vertically installed on the supporting vertical rod 3;
[0050] The front end of the sensing head 1 has a through hole 16, the through hole 16 penetrates to the inside of the sensing head 1, a fuse 15 is arranged in the inside of the sensing head 1, the fuse 15 is arranged close to the inner port of the through hole 16, and the trigger circuit is electrically connected to both ends of the fuse 15;
[0051] The flow field forms a stagnation point region at the sensing head 1 to generate high-temperature and high-pressure airflow, and the airflow flushes the fuse wire 15 through the through hole 16, so that the fuse wire 15 is melted when the hypersonic flow field is established.
[0052] In the embodiment, the fuse wire 15 is arranged in the sensing head 1 and abuts against the through hole 16 by arranging the through hole 16 at the front end of the sensing head 1 to communicate the inside and outside of the sensing head 1, the flow field forms a stagnation point region at the sensing head 1 to generate high-temperature and high-pressure airflow, and the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow melts the fuse wire 15 when the hypersonic flow field is formed, so that the trigger circuit outputs a trigger signal (the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow formed at the front end of the sensing head 1 enters the inside of the sensing head 1 along the through hole 16 to flush the fuse wire 15, and the fuse wire 15 is quickly melted at a temperature of several thousand K under the hypersonic condition).
[0053] In order to improve the melting speed and shorten the melting time to improve the response speed and accuracy of the timing coordination control, the following preferred embodiments are provided.
[0054] As shown in Figure 3 , the sensing head 1 comprises a protective cap 11, the protective cap 11 is a spherical top cylindrical shape, and the through hole 16 is formed at the spherical top of the protective cap 11;
[0055] The cylindrical segment of the protective cap 11 is a hollow structure, has a threaded hole at the end of the cylindrical segment of the protective cap 11, and a connecting screw 12 is installed through the threaded hole, and the connecting screw 12 is threadedly installed at the front end of the support cross bar 2;
[0056] The connecting screw 12 has two screw holes, two connecting electrodes 13 are respectively threadedly installed through the screw holes of the connecting screw 12, one end of the two connecting electrodes 13 is located in the protective cap 11 and respectively abuts against two ends of the fuse wire 15, and the other end of the two connecting electrodes 13 is located outside the protective cap 11, so that the end of the connecting electrode 13 is arranged in the support cross bar 2 after the connecting screw 12 is installed on the support cross bar 2;
[0057] The support cross bar 2 has a channel for arranging a line to electrically connect the connecting electrode and the trigger circuit through a lead wire.
[0058] In the embodiment, the protective cap 11 of the sensing head 1 is a spherical top cylindrical shape made of stainless steel, the spherical top is directly opposite to the flow field direction, and the through hole 16 is located at the spherical top of the protective cap 11, so that the airflow can form a stagnation point region at the spherical top. The smaller the radius of the spherical top is, the higher the heat flow density of the stagnation point region is, and the shorter the breaking time of the fuse wire is. However, the radius of the spherical top is too small, which will result in small installation space in the protective cap 11 and is not conducive to installation. After comprehensive consideration, the diameter of the spherical top is 15 mm.
[0059] The connecting screw 12 is made of nylon, which has the functions of insulation and support connection, and is used to connect the protective cap 11 and the support horizontal rod 2. The connecting electrode 13 is made of copper, which has the function of a wire, and can be regarded as a wire in series after being connected with the fuse 15.
[0060] The fuse 15 is melted under the action of airflow and cooperates with the trigger circuit to output a trigger signal. The fuse 15 is made of a soldering tin wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm, which has a low melting point and a soft texture and is easy to melt.
[0061] Of course, in order to firmly connect the connecting electrode 13 with the fuse 15, as shown in the figure, the end of the connecting electrode 13 located in the protective cap 11 is provided with a screw hole, and the connecting electrode 13 is provided with a locking screw 14 through the screw hole, which is used to press the two ends of the fuse 15 on the connecting electrode 13. Figure 3
[0062] In the embodiment, the fuse 15 is pressed on the end of the connecting electrode 13 by the locking screw 14, which effectively avoids displacement caused by airflow scouring and ensures that the fuse 15 is melted in time.
[0063] Of course, in order to reduce the influence of the sensor assembly on the flow field, as shown in the figures, the horizontal section of the support vertical rod 3 is a right triangle, and the edge between the two vertical surfaces of the support vertical rod 3 is opposite to the flow field direction. Figure 2 Figure 4 The support vertical rod 3 is made of stainless steel, and its section is a right triangle, and the two right angles are located on the windward surface to reduce the influence on the flow field.
[0064] Based on the above embodiment, the following provides a preferred embodiment of a trigger circuit.
[0065] As shown in the figure, the trigger circuit includes a resistor R1 and a resistor R2, and the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are connected in series.
[0066] The two ends of the resistor R2 are connected in parallel with the two ends of the fuse 15, and the two ends of the fuse 15 are electrically connected to form an output end of the imaging system, and the non-series ends of the resistor R1 and the resistor R2 are connected to form an input end of the power supply positive and negative poles. Figure 5
[0067] When the fuse 15 is not melted, the fuse 15 is short-circuited, and the voltage of the output end is 0V, or when the fuse 15 is melted, the fuse 15 is open-circuited, and the voltage of the output end is the voltage output by the resistor R2, so as to trigger the imaging system to work.
[0068]
[0069] In the embodiment, the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, wherein R1=1kΩ and R2=4kΩ, and a 5V DC power supply is used. Before the experiment, the fuse 15 is connected to the connecting electrode 13, and the connecting electrode 13 is connected to the power supply through a wire arranged in the support crossbar 2 Figure 4 The middle potential points 1 and 2 are connected, and R3 represents the fuse 15, wherein V+ and V- constitute a trigger signal output end. Since the fuse 15 has a very small resistance value, when the fuse 15 is not broken, it functions as a short circuit, and the potential difference of the trigger signal output end is 0V. When the hypersonic flow field is formed, the fuse 15 will be broken under the action of the airflow, and the potential difference between the trigger signal output ends is output as 4V after being divided by the resistors R1 and R2, so as to trigger the imaging system, and realize the time sequence cooperation between the imaging system and the wind tunnel flow field.
[0070] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the present application within the spirit and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent replacements are also regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
