Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of calibration technology for aviation product measurement tools, and relates to a digital calibration system and method for aviation equipment measurement tools based on strain effect. Background Technology
[0002] Ensuring accuracy is paramount in the testing of aerospace products. This necessitates the use of various aerospace measuring tools, primarily designed for testing high-hardness materials like aerospace aluminum alloys and steels. However, the inherent properties of these materials inevitably cause wear and tear on these measuring tools during testing. When the accumulated wear exceeds a certain threshold, the measuring tools will fail. Unfortunately, in routine testing, the calibration and verification of these measuring tools before use is often neglected, leading to low reliability and an inability to guarantee their compliance.
[0003] Currently, the calibration of measuring tools for aerospace products is typically performed annually or at longer intervals, requiring the tools to be sent to metrology departments for calibration. Furthermore, calibration methods largely rely on mechanical manual operation and visual inspection, which is highly dependent on the operator's condition. Simultaneously, the equipment used for calibrating aerospace measuring tools is itself difficult to guarantee in perfect condition, easily leading to the accumulation of errors during calibration, resulting in low reliability and accuracy.
[0004] Current calibration methods are not only time-consuming but also costly, which is clearly unsuitable for the rapid response and maintenance cycle requirements of aviation equipment. Furthermore, due to the long calibration cycle, minor changes that may occur during the use of aviation product measuring tools cannot be detected and corrected in a timely manner, potentially posing a threat to the safety of aviation equipment. Therefore, developing a digital method capable of real-time monitoring and calibration is particularly important. This new method needs to provide rapid and accurate calibration results, reduce human error, improve the efficiency and reliability of aviation product measuring tools, and thus ensure the quality of aviation equipment testing. Summary of the Invention

Utilizing strain effects as the fundamental method, this system uses strain sensors to detect strain changes generated by aerospace product measuring tools during use, thereby calibrating the measuring tools during the aerospace equipment manufacturing process. Advanced digital processing technology converts these strain signals into readable digital signals, enabling real-time calibration of the aerospace product measuring tools. This invention can achieve digital calibration of most aerospace product measuring tools, not only improving calibration accuracy and efficiency but also reducing reliance on operator skills and minimizing errors during the calibration process. Furthermore, this method enables long-term monitoring of aerospace product measuring tools, allowing for timely detection and correction of minor changes during use, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of aerospace equipment.

Motion adjustment component 18 is driven by controller 10 to complete the corresponding action and complete the measurement in conjunction with strain gauge sensor 1.
[0011] The relationship between the relative change in resistance RΔR of the strain gauge sensor 1 and the strain ε can be expressed as RΔR=kε, where k is the sensitivity coefficient of the strain gauge, which is determined by the material and structure of the strain gauge.
[0012] For data acquisition module 2, assuming a resolution of n bits and a full-scale input voltage of V... FS Then the quantized digital quantity D and the input voltage V in The relationship is D = V FS / V in ×2 n To ensure signal quality and accuracy, the data acquisition module 2 needs to amplify, filter, and process the weak electrical signal generated by the strain gauge sensor 1, converting it into a signal form suitable for digital acquisition and processing, thereby improving signal quality and reducing the impact of noise and interference.

Then, it calculates various calibration parameters of the aviation product measuring tool and finally makes a decision, which is sent to the automatic recording component 19. The automatic recording component 19 automatically records the data and then transmits it to the automatic diagnostic component 20. The automatic diagnostic component 20 outputs the diagnostic results and forms a decision command, which is sent to the controller 10. The controller 10 executes the decision command. If the diagnostic result is unqualified, the alarm 11 is activated to issue a warning.
[0024] Step S8: After completing one calibration, operate the reset command button 15 to clear the previous measurement data and perform another measurement to reduce calibration error; if the alarm 11 is activated, operate the clear command button 16 to deactivate it.

Through a built-in high-precision strain sensor, it converts mechanical strain into an electrical signal and analyzes and tests the signal to ensure that the data meets specific testing requirements, providing an accurate data foundation for subsequent analysis and calibration. Microcontroller 8 is associated with the input command device 17 in the control subsystem to set the type of aerospace product measurement tool to be calibrated. Microcontroller 8 is equipped with… The system comprises a standard data source, a calibration process control system, and a data processing system. Based on the type of aerospace product measurement tool being measured, the system selects the calibration process and the standard data source. On one hand, it generates calibration process control commands and sends them to the controller 10. On the other hand, it receives data from the strain test module 4, processes it into electrical signals through the data processing system, and compares them with the standard data signals 6 in the standard data source to obtain calibration results or conclusions. The microcontroller 8 sends the processed data to the host computer 12 and the automatic recording component 19. The host computer 12 receives the processed data from the microcontroller 8 and inputs it into its internal MES system for extended reporting. The automatic recording component 19 automatically records the data and then transmits it to the automatic diagnostic component 20. The automatic diagnostic component 20 incorporates a convolutional neural network-based intelligent algorithm, outputs diagnostic results, and generates decision commands that are sent to the controller 10. The controller 10 executes the calibration process control commands from the microcontroller 8 to drive the motion adjustment component 18 in the drive control subsystem to perform corresponding actions. Simultaneously, it executes the decision commands to drive the alarm 11 in the control subsystem.
[0036] The control subsystem includes a display screen 9, an alarm 11, a start / stop command button 13, a record command button 14, a reset command button 15, a clear command button 16, a command input device 17, a motion adjustment component 18, and a calibration command button 21. Display screen 9, start / stop command button 13, record command button 14, reset command button 15, clear command button 16, input command device 17, and calibration command button 21 are all associated with microcontroller 8. Among them, the input command device 17 has a human-machine interface and is used to select the standard data source 5 according to the type of measurement tool of the aviation product to be calibrated, thereby selecting the appropriate standard data signal 6 as the calibration reference. Start / stop command button 13 is used for power-on and power-off operations, calibration command button 21 is used to start the calibration work, record command button 14 is used to manually record data, reset command button 15 is used to clear the data of a single measurement, and clear command button 16 is used to clear the alarm status. Display screen 9 is used to display the data processed and analyzed by microcontroller 8, comparison results, and related calibration information. Alarm 11 is driven by controller 10 and issues an alarm when the calibration result is unqualified. Motion adjustment component 18 is driven by controller 10 to complete the corresponding action and complete the measurement in conjunction with strain gauge sensor 1.
[0037] The relationship between the relative change in resistance RΔR of the strain gauge sensor 1 and the strain ε can be expressed as RΔR=kε, where k is the sensitivity coefficient of the strain gauge, which is determined by the material and structure of the strain gauge. In the digital calibration of aerospace equipment, the signal conversion formula of the strain sensor is usually based on the strain measurement principle. For strain gauge sensors, when the common Wheatstone bridge circuit measures strain, the relationship between the output voltage Uo and the strain ε is: Uo=K×Ui×ε, where Uo is the voltage signal output by the bridge (V), K is the sensitivity coefficient of the strain gauge, which depends on factors such as the material and structure of the strain gauge, Ui is the excitation voltage of the bridge (V), and ε is the strain (με).
[0038] For data acquisition module 2, assuming a resolution of n bits and a full-scale input voltage of V... FS Then the quantized digital quantity D and the input voltage V in The relationship is D = V FS / V in ×2 n To ensure signal quality and accuracy, the data acquisition module 2 needs to amplify, filter, and process the weak electrical signal generated by the strain gauge sensor 1, converting it into a signal form suitable for digital acquisition and processing, thereby improving signal quality and reducing the impact of noise and interference.
[0039] The formula for measuring strain using a strain gauge bridge in embedded strain testing module 4 is as follows: (When the Wheatstone bridge is balanced, Uo = 0; when unbalanced, it is used to calculate the output voltage.) When a strain gauge is connected to the bridge, the relationship between the strain ε and the bridge output voltage Uo (assuming the strain gauge sensitivity coefficient is K and the excitation voltage is Ui) is: Uo = K × Ui × ε. If we consider the signal conditioning circuit (e.g., amplification factor A) and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC resolution N, etc.) in the embedded system, the formula for deducing the strain ε from the acquired digital quantity D (ADC output) might be: ε = A × N × K × UiD, where R1, R2, R3, and R4 are the four bridge arm resistors; Ui is the bridge excitation voltage; K is the strain gauge sensitivity coefficient; Uo is the bridge output voltage; A is the signal conditioning amplification factor; N is the ADC resolution (e.g., for a 12-bit ADC, N = 2^12 = 4096); D is the digital quantity acquired by the ADC; and ε is the strain value. In practical applications, accurate derivation and adjustment are required based on the specific embedded system hardware configuration and calibration requirements.
[0040] The motion adjustment component 18 is designed according to the applicable aviation product measurement tool. Multiple motion adjustment components 18 can also be designed in combination to achieve a single device applicable to various aviation product measurement tools. In this embodiment, the motion adjustment component 18 is equipped with an electric telescopic device, which is driven by the controller 10 to extend and retract to achieve the appropriate calibration position, facilitating data acquisition. In other embodiments, the motion adjustment component 18 can also employ a servo motor, driven by the controller 10 for forward and reverse rotation.
