Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of airborne avionics, and particularly relates to an air data system and method with enhanced heating monitoring function. BACKGROUND

[0002] An air data system (ADS) is a vital system on an aircraft, which collects real-time information of atmospheric static pressure, total pressure, total temperature, etc. through PITOT, STATIC, TAT, AOA, etc. distributed on the nose, fuselage, etc., and then accurately calculates a series of flight atmospheric parameters such as airspeed, barometric altitude, Mach number, etc. The data provided by the air data system is widely used in flight control, navigation, instrument display, etc. and is a key parameter for civil aircraft to ensure flight safety and flight performance.

[0003] The PITOT is designed based on Bernoulli's principle, which states that in the steady flow of an ideal fluid, the pressure of the fluid will decrease as the flow rate increases, and the pressure will increase as the flow rate decreases. The PITOT utilizes this physical law to measure pressure and obtain the key parameters required for flight. The PITOT has a small hole in the head that is directly opposite the direction of the airflow. When the aircraft is flying in the air, the oncoming airflow will directly rush into the small hole of the PITOT. Since the velocity of the airflow in the hole is rapidly reduced to zero, according to Bernoulli's principle, the kinetic energy of the airflow is fully converted into pressure energy, thereby forming total pressure in the PITOT, which includes the ram pressure and static pressure of the airflow. In contrast, the STATIC is generally installed at a position perpendicular to the airflow direction to sense the static pressure of the airflow. The static pressure represents the pressure of the atmosphere without interference from the aircraft motion, reflecting the local atmospheric pressure condition. The TAT is used to measure the stagnation temperature of the airflow, and its working principle is based on the law of conservation of energy. When high-speed airflow flows through the sensor, the kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, causing the temperature to rise. The thermocouple inside the sensor converts heat into an electrical signal output by sensing the temperature change. The total temperature is a representation of the total energy of the atmosphere, and the measurement accuracy directly affects the calculation of flight performance. The AOA is used to monitor the angle between the aircraft and the relative airflow in real time, i.e., the angle of attack. The AOA sensor senses the airflow direction through the wind vane and converts the angle change into an electrical signal output, providing important data support for the flight control system, instrument display system, etc. In the air data system, the information measured by the above air data probes is processed by the air data computer (ADC) to obtain various atmospheric parameters. If the probe fails, it will affect the measurement of atmospheric parameters and cause safety risk events.

[0004] The main cause of air data sensor failure is probe icing. Water vapor exists in the atmosphere. When an aircraft flies at high altitude or in low-temperature conditions, the ambient air temperature may be below freezing. This is especially true when flying in clouds containing supercooled water droplets. Water vapor can easily condense onto the probe surface. Icing can severely impact the proper functioning of the probe. For pitot tubes, ice can directly block the measurement aperture or alter the airflow pattern, resulting in failure of total pressure measurements. For total temperature sensors, ice can block the air outlet, causing temperature readings to rise. For angle of attack sensors, ice can freeze the wind vane, preventing changes in the measured angle of attack. If the flight control system or the pilot relies on erroneous data, the aircraft could stall or overspeed, posing a direct threat to flight safety. Many notorious air disasters in civil aviation history have been linked to air data probe icing. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of air data measurements, air data probes must be heated for anti-icing and de-icing. The heating function of air data probes is a key design feature for flight safety.

[0005] The device in the air data system that provides air data probe heating is the air data heating controller (ADHC). The ADHC provides power for the air data probe and monitors the probe's heating function through current and voltage monitoring. The ADHC's heating function is controlled by both the air data computer and manual control. The ADHC provides automatic heating control. When it detects that the aircraft is in flight or about to take flight, it controls the ADHC to increase probe heating. A manual heating switch allows the pilot to manually control the temperature, forcing probe heating in the event of a malfunction in the aircraft.

[0006] To meet the high reliability requirements of aviation safety, the air data system (ADS) on existing civil aircraft utilizes a triple-redundant design. This design achieves high-integrity output of critical flight data through redundant configuration of three independent channels. Its core lies in building a multi-layered safety assurance system through hardware redundancy, data cross-validation, and fault isolation. The basic architecture of the triple-redundant design divides the ADS probes, ADS computers, ADS heating controllers, and other equipment and communication links into three independent, functionally identical channels, each with complete measurement, calculation, output, and probe heating capabilities. The triple-redundant system utilizes a "compare-vote-monitor" mechanism to identify and isolate faults. The data calculated by the three ADS computers are interconnected, and the output of the final atmospheric parameters is determined by majority voting. If the output data of a channel deviates from the other two by more than a preset threshold, all three ADS computers identify that channel as faulty and isolate it. Simultaneously, the cockpit warning system alerts the crew to the failure of a redundant channel. In this case, the two functioning channels can still maintain system functionality, ensuring data reliability.

[0007] In the existing civil aircraft atmospheric data system, the atmospheric data of each channel is only connected with the atmospheric data computer, the automatic heating control command is only sent by the atmospheric data computer, and the heating monitoring information is also only received by the atmospheric data computer. The configuration is relatively simple in hardware composition, but when the communication link between the atmospheric data computer and the atmospheric data heating controller fails, the following problems will occur: The loss of monitoring state caused by the failure of the communication link will cause the atmospheric data computer to misjudge the state of the channel probe heating monitoring, further output the error single-channel atmospheric parameter, cause a series of problems in the voting and subsequent calculation process, and finally affect the flight safety; Due to the loss of control ability of the atmospheric data heating controller, the unexpected loss of probe heating problem may occur, resulting in the loss of channel probe heating, and the output of error single-channel atmospheric parameter.

[0008] Therefore, the existing civil aircraft atmospheric data system has the problem that the atmospheric data function integrity is limited due to the configuration limitation of the single channel. SUMMARY

[0009] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the atmospheric data system and method provided by the present application can solve the problem of error single-channel atmospheric parameter output caused by the failure of the communication link between the atmospheric data computer and the atmospheric data heating controller in the existing civil aircraft atmospheric data system.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application provides an atmospheric data system with enhanced heating monitoring function, comprising: a three-channel atmospheric data computer subsystem, a three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem, an aircraft flight management subsystem, and an atmospheric data probe subsystem.

[0030] In the present embodiment, Figure 1 the atmospheric data system with enhanced heating monitoring function in the above-mentioned The atmospheric data system with enhanced heating monitoring function is composed of three channels, including: an atmospheric data probe subsystem, a three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem, a three-channel atmospheric data computer subsystem, and an aircraft flight management subsystem; The atmospheric data probe subsystem, the three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem, the three-channel atmospheric data computer subsystem and the aircraft flight management subsystem are sequentially connected; the atmospheric data probe subsystem is connected with the three-channel atmospheric data computer subsystem; From the channel level, each channel is composed of one atmospheric data computer (ADC), one atmospheric data heating controller (ADHC) and a plurality of atmospheric data probes (including PITOT, STATIC, TAT and AOA, etc.).

[0034] The three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem is configured to receive a heating control command, perform heating monitoring on the atmospheric data probe subsystem, calculate real-time power information of the probe using voltage and current, obtain heating monitoring information through calculation, and input the heating monitoring information into the first channel atmospheric data computer, the second channel atmospheric data computer, and the third channel atmospheric data computer. The three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem is configured to receive a heating control command, perform heating monitoring on the atmospheric data probe subsystem, calculate real-time power information of the probe using voltage and current, obtain heating monitoring information through calculation, and input the heating monitoring information into the first channel atmospheric data computer, the second channel atmospheric data computer, and the third channel atmospheric data computer. The first channel atmospheric data heating controller, the second channel atmospheric data heating controller, and the third channel atmospheric data heating controller have the same function and structure, and are configured to receive a heating control command, perform heating monitoring on the atmospheric data probe subsystem, calculate real-time power information of the probe using voltage and current, obtain heating monitoring information through calculation, and input the heating monitoring information into the first channel atmospheric data computer, the second channel atmospheric data computer, and the third channel atmospheric data computer.

[0035] In this embodiment, the three channels of the atmospheric data system with enhanced heating monitoring function are cross-linked, the first channel atmospheric data computer (ADC1) sends heating control commands to the first channel atmospheric data heating controller (ADHC1), the second channel atmospheric data heating controller (ADHC2) and the third channel atmospheric data heating controller (ADHC3), and receives atmospheric data probe heating monitoring information from ADHC1, ADHC2 and ADHC3; ADC1 sends the calculated first channel atmospheric parameters to the second channel atmospheric data computer (ADC2) and the third channel atmospheric data computer (ADC3), forwards the ADHC2 heating monitoring information to ADC2, and forwards the ADHC3 heating monitoring information to ADC3; Similarly, ADC2 sends heating control commands to the atmospheric data heating controllers of the three channels, receives atmospheric data probe heating monitoring information of the three channels, sends the calculated second channel atmospheric parameters to ADC1 and ADC3, forwards the ADHC1 heating monitoring information to ADC1, and forwards the ADHC3 heating monitoring information to ADC3; Similarly, ADC3 sends heating control commands to the ADHCs of the three channels, receives probe heating monitoring information of the three channels, sends the calculated third channel atmospheric parameters to ADC1 and ADC2, forwards the ADHC1 heating monitoring information to ADC1, and forwards the ADHC2 heating monitoring information to ADC2.

[0036] In this embodiment, each atmospheric data computer judges the probe heating monitoring information of the probe of the channel according to the probe heating monitoring information sent by the three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem. The voting method can adopt majority voting and data integrity voting. The majority voting method is to take the majority of the probe heating monitoring information sent by the three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem. Taking the first channel as an example, the probe heating monitoring information majority voting logic is shown in Table 1.

[0037] Table 1

[0038] The data integrity voting takes the ADHC probe heating monitoring information directly received by the ADC of the channel as the main monitoring information. When the ADHC probe heating monitoring information of the channel is heating, the probe heating state of the channel is considered to be heating. When the ADHC probe heating monitoring information of the channel is not heating, if the ADHC probe heating monitoring information of the channel forwarded by the ADC of the other channel is consistent with heating, the probe heating state of the channel is also considered to be heating. Taking the first channel as an example, the heating control command data integrity voting logic is shown in Table 2.

[0039] Table 2

[0040] In the embodiment, the atmospheric data heating controller (ADHC) determines the automatic heating control logic of the probe according to the heating control command sent by the three-channel atmospheric data computer subsystem. The voting method can adopt majority voting or data integrity voting. The majority voting method is to take the majority of the heating control commands sent by the three-channel atmospheric data heating controller subsystem. Taking the first channel as an example, the majority voting logic of the heating control command is shown in Table 3.

[0041] Table 3

[0042] The data integrity voting is to take the heating control command sent by the ADC of the channel as the main heating command. When the control command of the ADC of the channel is heating, the ADHC of the channel heats the probe. When the control command of the ADC of the channel is not heating, if the control commands of the ADCs of other channels are consistent with heating, the ADHC of the channel also heats the probe. Taking the first channel as an example, the data integrity voting logic of the heating control command is shown in Table 4.

[0043] Table 4

[0044] The first-channel atmospheric data heating controller, the second-channel atmospheric data heating controller, and the third-channel atmospheric data heating controller each comprise a first communication module, a second communication module, a third communication module, a voting control module, a heating relay, and a heating monitoring module. The first communication module is configured to receive the heating control command sent by the first-channel atmospheric data computer and send the heating monitoring information to the first-channel atmospheric data computer.

The heating monitoring module is configured to monitor the heated atmospheric data probe subsystem and obtain the heating monitoring information.

[0045] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The first communication module receives the warming control command sent by the first channel atmospheric data computer (ADC1) and sends the probe warming monitoring information to the first channel atmospheric data computer (ADC1), the second communication module receives the warming control command sent by the second channel atmospheric data computer (ADC2) and sends the probe warming monitoring information to the second channel atmospheric data computer (ADC2), and the third communication module receives the warming control command sent by the third channel atmospheric data computer (ADC3) and sends the probe warming monitoring information to the third channel atmospheric data computer (ADC3); The voting control module (VOTE) receives the warming control command sent by the three-channel atmospheric data computer ADC, sends the voting control command after voting to the warming relay (RLY); The warming relay (RLY) provides the warming power supply to the atmospheric data probe based on the warming control command. The warming monitoring module (MON) monitors the output voltage, current and other probe warming monitoring information of the warming relay (RLY) and sends them to ADC1, ADC2 and ADC3 through COM1, COM2 and COM3.

[0046] The warming monitoring information of the probe controlled by the atmospheric data warming controller (ADHC) is realized by the following method: the warming monitoring module (MON) monitors the voltage, current and other information output by the warming relay (RLY), calculates the real-time power information of the probe through the voltage and current, and if all parameters of the voltage, current and power of a single probe monitored by the warming monitoring module (MON) meet the preset threshold requirement, it is considered that the probe is in the warming state, otherwise it is considered that the probe is in the non-warming state. According to the specific design of the atmospheric data warming controller ADHC (ADHC), the monitoring parameters can be trimmed in the three parameters of voltage, current and power.
