Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wind tunnel test, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive multi-element calibration method for a wind tunnel balance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wind tunnel balance is essentially a multi-dimensional force sensor. Balance calibration refers to applying a load to the balance on a ground static calibration device, collecting the corresponding voltage output value, fitting the balance calibration formula matrix of the load and the corresponding voltage output value, and inversely calculating the force and torque exerted by the airflow on the model during the wind tunnel test. The conventional force balance generally has six components, measuring three forces and three torques.

[0003] The balance calibration process generally involves first preparing a load table, then applying a load according to the load table, and finally performing curve fitting on the load and the corresponding voltage value to obtain the balance calibration formula matrix. According to the loading method, balance calibration can be divided into single-element calibration method and multi-element calibration method. When the single-element calibration method is used, the balance calibration coefficients are generally calculated using the least squares method. When the multi-element calibration method is used, multi-element linear regression calculation is performed after all items (the number of items is greater than the number of components) in the load group are loaded, and the corresponding balance calibration formula matrix is obtained through the relationship between the load and the corresponding voltage output value. In addition, when the loading data is large and the number of iterations is large, a neural network algorithm can also be used.

[0004] Specifically, the balance calibration process generally involves first loading the balance according to the load table, collecting the corresponding voltage value, and then fitting a balance formula for the load-voltage relationship. The conventional six-component balance calibration formula should include 96 coefficients, including: 1 main item coefficient, 5 first-order interference coefficients, 6 second-order square interference coefficients, 6 cubic interference coefficients, 15 second-order cross interference coefficients, 6 first-order asymmetric interference coefficients, 51 second-order asymmetric interference coefficients, and 6 third-order asymmetric interference coefficients. Currently, in the balance calibration formula matrix, the asymmetry and cubic term interference coefficients are generally not considered, so each component has 27 coefficients. The conventional six-component balance forms a 6x27 matrix as the final balance calibration formula matrix. The calculation of the calibration coefficients generally uses the least squares method for fitting. When the single-element calibration method is used, one item can be calculated for each calibration, and after the single-element and cross-element loading calibration is completed, the coefficients are combined to obtain the balance calibration formula matrix. When the single-element calibration method is used, multi-element linear regression calculation is performed after all items (the number of items is greater than the number of components) in the load group are completed, and the corresponding balance calibration formula matrix is obtained.

[0005] The wind tunnel balance calibration system can be divided into a body axis system wind tunnel balance calibration system and a ground axis system wind tunnel balance calibration system according to a loaded coordinate axis system. The body axis system balance calibration system has a reset mechanism, and is complex in structure and high in cost. However, the body axis system wind tunnel balance calibration system has the advantages that the number of interference terms in the balance calibration formula matrix is significantly reduced, the interference value is obviously reduced, and the balance measurement accuracy is higher. Therefore, the body axis system calibration system is usually used. However, the body axis system calibration system needs to be reset for each loaded step value when performing unit or multi-element calibration, so the overall efficiency is not high. Moreover, all calibration items need to be loaded before the formula can be fitted, and the time cost is high.

[0006] At present, it is urgent to develop a wind tunnel balance self-adaptive multi-element calibration method for a body axis system balance calibration system. SUMMARY
