Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of flying cars, and in particular relates to a tilting duct testing device. Background Art

[0002] Ducted fan aircraft and flying cars are representatives of low-altitude aircraft. The ducted fan propulsion devices in their core power systems are currently entering a period of rapid development. Ducted fans significantly improve aerodynamic efficiency and safety by wrapping the blades with annular ducts. Ducted confinement reduces energy loss, providing high-density thrust during vertical takeoff and landing and transition flight, and adapting to complex flight modes. Physical protection reduces the risk of blade collisions, and ducted guidance enhances stability while suppressing noise to meet the requirements of urban low-altitude operations. Compact system integration and lightweight design optimize spatial layout, and multi-fan collaborative control enhances redundancy and reliability. Currently, ducted fans, with their high energy efficiency, low noise, and strong environmental adaptability, have become one of the key technologies driving the commercialization of the low-altitude economy, helping future urban air traffic develop in a safe, environmentally friendly, and efficient direction.

[0003] To ensure practical application, the performance of ducted fans is highly dependent on the reliability verification of the test bench. Currently, traditional ducted fan test equipment has significant discrepancies between simulated operating conditions and actual aircraft operating conditions. This makes it impossible to effectively eliminate the ground effect of the ducted wake, and it can only measure thrust at different tilt angles. It is unable to accurately adjust the position of the ducted fan and measure corresponding parameters such as tilt angle, tilt accuracy, torque, and thrust.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN118239005A provides an integrated ducted fan test bench that can simultaneously and independently measure various aerodynamic data of the duct body and rotor system. The tilt module it uses is used to tilt the entire test piece. This tilt module cannot be directly used to test the tilt mechanism characteristics of the tilt duct.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN119435444A provides a tilting ducted fan test device that can continuously adjust the test angle of the ducted fan at any time to measure thrust at different tilt angles. When the tilting mechanism tilts, the force sensor moves relative to the ground. The vibration caused by the ducted aerodynamic force can affect the force sensor's measurement precision and accuracy. Furthermore, the tilting mechanism cannot measure the tilt angle, angular velocity, or torque of the tilting duct.

[0006] Chinese utility model patent CN221925570U provides a tilting ducted fan test platform with automatically adjustable angle of attack. This platform can test the fan's angle of attack and measure its aerodynamic characteristics during the fan's tilt transition phase. The ducted fan in this test platform is supported by a single connecting rod, which reduces reliability and safety, and the overall structure of the test platform is relatively complex. The force sensor in this test platform cannot measure the torque acting on the ducted fan as a whole. Furthermore, when the tilt is changed, the height adjustment platform is affected by the ducted wake, resulting in ground effect, which affects the measurement precision and accuracy. Summary of the Invention
