Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aircraft control and ground simulation, and particularly relates to a control moment gyro moment output characteristic measuring device and a testing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The control moment gyro is an important attitude actuator in a spacecraft, and has been widely used in the field of aerospace. A high-precision control moment gyro output moment measuring method is needed to test the output characteristic of the control moment gyro in view of the problem of fuzzy output characteristic.

[0003] The invention patent "torque test air floating turntable for control moment gyro" (CN200610011829.7) measures the output moment of the control moment gyro through a single-shaft air floating turntable, and is divided into two working modes, namely a free rotation mode and a torque rebalancing mode. The free rotation mode uses an encoder to calculate the turntable main shaft speed so as to obtain the output moment of the control moment gyro in the direction of the air floating turntable rotating shaft. The torque rebalancing mode forms a torque loop on the basis of high-precision position closed loop, and realizes high-precision measurement of the torque in the direction of the air floating turntable rotating shaft through the torque loop. However, the output moment in the direction of the air floating turntable rotating shaft can only be measured, and the complete output moment characteristic of the control moment gyro cannot be obtained. Meanwhile, the measuring device is not calibrated before measurement, the control moment calculated according to the program is the nominal value of the measurement, and is not the real output moment. Meanwhile, the measuring system may contain unmodeled characteristics, which will cause obvious difference between the output moment precision and the actual output moment.

[0004] The invention patent "high-precision control moment gyro torque output measuring device and measuring method thereof" (CN201610191170.1) adopts a double-shaft air floating table as a measuring platform. In the process of measuring the torque, the device uses the force sensor data collected by three torque measuring mechanisms, cooperates with the distance from the force sensor to the center of the air floating ball bearing, and calculates the output moment and torque fluctuation of the control moment gyro. However, the influence of the inclination of the air floating table and the error of the force arm measurement in the measuring process is not considered, the output moment precision cannot be guaranteed, and the calibration of the measuring device is also lacked, so that the authenticity of the measurement result is difficult to guarantee. Meanwhile, due to the layout problem of the measuring sensor, the device can only measure the horizontal output moment, and cannot measure the vertical moment, so that the device is not applicable to the output characteristic test of all control moment gyro.

[0079] In order to further understand the inventive content, characteristics and effects of the present application, the following specific embodiments are exemplified, and the accompanying drawings are used for the description. Figure 1 - the accompanying drawings Figure 8 The detailed description is as follows:

[0080] Example 1:

[0081] A control moment gyro torque output characteristic measuring device, comprising an ultra-static suspension system, a precise torque sensitive system, a high-precision torque calibration system and a data monitoring and control system;

[0082] The ultra-static suspension system comprises an air-floating ball bearing 1, an instrument installation platform 2 and a support unloading device 17, the air-floating ball bearing 1 is arranged in an air-floating ball bowl 3, the air-floating ball bearing 1 is tightly connected with the instrument installation platform 2, the measured equipment 16 is placed on the instrument installation platform 2, and the pressure sensor 18 is installed on the support unloading device 17;

[0083] The precise torque sensitive system is composed of a horizontal torque measuring system 20 and a vertical torque measuring system 21;

[0084] 4 groups of horizontal torque measuring systems 20 are uniformly arranged on the instrument installation platform 2 at 90°, for converting horizontal torque measurement into force measurement; the vertical torque measuring system 21 comprises a high-precision force sensor group 22, an air-floating bearing 23 and an auxiliary extension mechanism 25, the auxiliary extension mechanism 25 is rigidly connected with the instrument installation platform 2; the high-precision force sensor group 22 is composed of two force sensors, the high-precision force sensor group 22 is installed outside two air-floating surfaces 24 formed between the air-floating bearing 23 and the auxiliary extension mechanism 25, for realizing z-axis torque measurement and decoupling z-axis torque from xy-axis torque measurement;

[0085] The high-precision torque calibration system is placed on the instrument installation platform 2, and includes an inertial navigation unit 13 and single-axis mass adjustment robots 14. The number of the single-axis mass adjustment robots 14 is two, and the single-axis mass adjustment robots 14 are orthogonally distributed between the measured device 16 and the horizontal torque measurement system 20, that is, on the side of the negative direction of the torque axis x. The attitude output axis of the inertial navigation unit 13 coincides with the torque measurement axis of the measurement system, so as to realize the leveling of the instrument installation platform 2 and output the high-precision standard torque at the same time. The inertial navigation unit 13 faces the single-axis mass adjustment robots 14 and is placed between the measured device 16 and the horizontal torque measurement system 20, so as to monitor the attitude information of the super-static suspension system in real time.

[0086] The data monitoring and control system 15 is connected with the super-static suspension system, the precise torque sensitive system and the high-precision torque calibration system through wireless communication devices.

[0087] Further, the horizontal torque measurement system 20 includes a micro-touch unit 4, a high-precision force sensor 5, a high-precision electric linear push rod 6, an air cushion 7, a pneumatic actuator rod 8, a pneumatic pre-tightening unit 9, a composite cross beam 10, an air floating guide rail 11 and an air floating slider 12.

[0088] The composite cross beam 10 is fixedly installed on the air floating guide rail 11. The high-precision electric linear push rod 6 is rigidly connected with the air floating slider 12 through the composite cross beam 10. The pneumatic actuator rod 8 penetrates the air-tight cavity of the composite cross beam 10 and acts on the upper surface of the air floating slider 12. The pneumatic pre-tightening unit 9 is integrated in the pneumatic actuator rod 8 and is independently controlled through the air pressure pipeline. The output end of the pneumatic pre-tightening unit 9 is coupled with the air floating slider 12. The air floating slider 12 is suspendedly installed in the rolling track of the air floating guide rail 11. The lower surface of the air floating slider 12 is fixedly connected with the high-precision force sensor 5. The micro-touch unit 4 is connected with the measurement end of the high-precision force sensor 5. The high-precision electric linear push rod 6 pre-presses the micro-touch unit 4 on the air cushion 7 placed on the instrument installation platform 2 through the high-precision force sensor 5. In cooperation with the locking action of the pneumatic pre-tightening unit 9, the high-precision force sensor 5 and the instrument installation platform 2 are pre-pressed tightly.

[0089] Further, the support unloading device 17 has three groups and is distributed at an angle of 120°, and is used for supporting and roughly leveling the instrument installation platform 2. The two single-axis mass adjustment robots 14 are robot A and robot B respectively.

[0090] Further, the data monitoring and control system 15 is responsible for receiving the output information of the sensitive elements and control elements in each system, sending the mass adjustment and loading instructions to the high-precision torque compensation system and the precise torque sensitive system, and calculating the compensation information and the measured torque at the same time.

[0091] Further, the measured force results of the 4 groups of horizontal moment measuring systems 20 are F1, F2, F3, and F4 respectively, the theoretical force arms between each force sensor and the rotation center are L1, L2, L3, and L4 respectively, the measured force results of the vertical moment measuring system 21 are F5 and F6 respectively, and the theoretical force arms between each force sensor and the rotation center are L5 and L6 respectively. According to the balance method of force moment, the output moment formula under the ideal condition is:

[0092]

[0093] wherein, , and are the measured moment results in the x direction, the y direction, and the z direction respectively.

[0094] Further, a high-pressure gas film is formed between the air-floating ball bowl and the air-floating ball bearing. When no platform constraint is applied, the air-floating ball bearing can construct a micro-friction and micro-interference environment to drive the instrument installation platform to realize three-axis free rotation. The instrument installation platform is made of high-strength structural steel, and has standard mounting holes and positioning holes processed by a high-precision numerical control machine tool, which facilitates the installation of the measured equipment 16 and the system equipment. The support unloading device can support the instrument installation platform in a non-working state to prevent it from overturning, and the pressure sensor 18 on the support unloading device can be used to guide the rough leveling.

[0095] Further, the high-precision force sensor group in the vertical moment measuring system is installed on the air-floating bearing, and the two parts are connected by the air-floating surface as a force transmission structure. This design not only adapts to the small movement of the air-floating table itself in the xy axis, but also ensures the decoupling of the z-axis moment measurement and the xy-axis moment measurement. The force sensor adopts a paired installation mode, and two force sensors are selected to form a sensor group, which are denoted as force sensor A and force sensor B. In order to reduce the force transmission error caused by poor contact, the force sensor also adopts a preloading mode, so that the force sensor and the auxiliary extension mechanism are in close contact through the air-floating surface. When the air-floating table generates a z-axis rotation trend due to the z-axis moment output by the control moment gyro (CMG), the two force sensors on the z-axis simultaneously sense the force, and the corresponding force arm information can be combined to differentially calculate the z-axis moment.

[0096] Further, the high-precision moment calibration system is installed on the x-axis and is called robot A, and is installed on the y-axis and is called robot B. It can realize the leveling work of the instrument installation platform, and also can output high-precision standard moment , realize output torque measurement system self-correction. Among them, the inertial unit selects HG-120 type inertial combination, single-axis mass adjustment robot selects HIWIN single-axis robot. The standard torque can be realized by the single-axis mass adjustment robot 14 in the high-precision torque calibration system, and the single-axis mass adjustment robot program control mass adjustment component is composed of a mobile load 14-1 and a bearing slider 14-2.

[0097] Further, when the measured CMG is installed on the instrument installation platform that has been leveled and outputs torque, the super static suspension system will have a corresponding movement trend under the pre-tightening effect of the precision torque sensitive system, at this time the force sensor in the precision torque sensitive system will output the corresponding force data under the current torque.

[0098] Embodiment 2:

[0099] A control torque gyro torque output characteristic measurement method, relying on the control torque gyro torque output characteristic measurement device of embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0100] S1. Confirm whether the air floating ball bearing is ventilated, whether the power supply of a control torque gyro torque output characteristic measurement device is turned on, and enter the working state after the air floating ball bearing is ventilated and the power supply is turned on;

[0101] S2. Artificially increase the load weight on the instrument installation platform, read the pressure sensor value on the support unloading device, when the pressure sensor value is basically equal, complete the rough leveling of a control torque gyro torque output characteristic measurement device;

[0102] S3. Remove the support unloading device, then take the inertial unit as the feedback, control the motion of the program control mass adjustment component in the single-axis mass adjustment robot, when the inertial unit displays that the instrument installation platform attitude reaches the predetermined level requirement, complete the fine leveling of a control torque gyro torque output characteristic measurement device;

[0103] S4. Based on the high-precision standard torque self-calibration method, complete the high-precision torque calibration system self-calibration, and obtain the high-precision standard torque;

[0104] In actual use of the system to measure the output torque, on the one hand, due to the non-completely rigid force sensor, when the output torque acts on the measuring platform, the measuring platform will produce deflection due to the torque, at this time the measuring system will introduce the influence of gravity torque, thereby causing the output torque precision to decline; on the other hand, the actual force arm information may be different from the design value, which also causes the output torque measurement precision to decline. To solve the above precision influencing factors, it is necessary to use a standard torque calibration measurement system. When the data monitoring and control system sends a mass adjustment instruction to the single-axis mass adjustment robot, the program-controlled mass adjustment assembly changes the distance between itself and the rotation center of the super-static suspension system by moving to realize the program-controlled torque output. However, the program-controlled torque output by this method has an error compared with the ideal standard torque. The error is derived from two aspects: one is the unknown error angle between the moving direction of the program-controlled mass adjustment assembly on the single-axis mass adjustment robot and the actual installation direction, and the other is the unknown mass characteristics of the bearing slider.

[0105] Further, the specific implementation method of the high-precision standard torque self-calibration method in step S4 includes the following steps:

[0106] S4.1. Based on the precision alignment condition of a control torque gyro torque output characteristic measuring device, set the position code of the known mass load on the instrument installation platform , ;

[0107] S4.2. Without loading the precision torque sensitive system, read the inertial navigation unit data through the data monitoring and control system and control the movement of the program-controlled mass adjustment assembly in the robot A and the robot B to realize the horizontal leveling of the super-static suspension system;

[0108] S4.3. Add a known mass load on the instrument installation platform, and install the mass load at position P1.

After the scanning frequency is completed, the scanning amplitude stage is entered, the frequency f is fixed, and the amplitude A is changed in steps. In the above process, the parameters can be configured as needed.
