Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of digital fault location testing for civil aircraft systems, and specifically relates to a fault location test method for civil aircraft environmental control systems that integrates digital and real data. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the flight safety and operational economy of civil aircraft, the environmental control system, as the core system for maintaining an airworthy cabin environment, directly impacts passenger comfort and the safe operation of critical onboard equipment. With the increasing integration, complexity, and intelligence of civil aircraft environmental control systems, their failure modes exhibit characteristics such as concealed propagation paths, strong coupling of multiple parameters, and cross-subsystem correlations. If a failure cannot be quickly and accurately located, it will directly affect flight safety and flight regularity, and may even trigger a chain reaction of system failures.

[0003] In existing technologies, physical testing methods locate faults by building real hardware environments and can obtain actual response data, but they have limitations such as high testing costs, poor repeatability of fault injection, and high risks of testing under extreme conditions.

[0004] Digital twins simulate system behavior by constructing virtual models, enabling low-cost fault scenario simulation. However, the accuracy of these models is highly dependent on prior knowledge input. Existing digital twin models often employ simplified physical models, which introduce modeling errors when dealing with aerodynamic and thermodynamic nonlinear characteristics and dynamic coupling effects of subsystems. This leads to significant deviations between virtual simulation results and actual physical responses, directly impacting the reliability of fault location.

[0005] In current industry practice, physical testing and digital twins are often used independently, with their data failing to form an effective closed loop. Physical test results are only used to validate models, while model correction lacks real-time physical data feedback, leading to long model iteration cycles and aimless parameter optimization. This fragmented application model cannot fully leverage the synergistic advantages of both methods, hindering further improvements in fault location accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fault location testing method for civil aircraft environmental control systems that integrates digital twins and physical testing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a data-real fusion fault location testing method for civil aircraft environmental control systems. Through collaborative iterative optimization of physical experiments and digital twin models, the accuracy of fault location is dynamically improved. This invention is based on the deep fusion of multi-source physical experimental data and high-fidelity digital twin models of the environmental control system. It utilizes Bayesian optimization methods to dynamically correct model parameters and optimize the test plan, constructing a fault location testing mechanism that integrates digital twins and physical experiments, significantly improving the accuracy of fault location. Without altering the physical experimental conditions of the civil aircraft environmental control system, this invention overcomes the limitations of single experimental or simulation methods through interactive verification and iterative optimization of digital twins and physical experiments, providing highly reliable technical support for fault location and maintenance decisions in civil aircraft environmental control systems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A fault location test method for a civil aircraft environmental control system that integrates data and reality, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1, Real: Fault location based on physical experiments;

[0010] S2, Number: Based on the physical test data obtained from S1, perform fault location simulation driven by digital twin;

[0011] S3, Data-Real Fusion: Based on the physical test results of S1 and the digital twin simulation results of S2, perform Bayesian-based fusion analysis and iterative optimization: calculate the deviation between the physical test and the digital twin simulation results; if the deviation exceeds the threshold, optimize the digital twin model parameters and adjust the physical test scheme using the Bayesian method, iteratively execute S1-S2 until the deviation meets the requirements; output the final fused fault location result.

[0012] A computing device includes: at least one processor and a memory storing program instructions; when the program instructions are read and executed by the processor, the computing device performs the aforementioned data-real fusion civil aircraft environmental control system fault location test method.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention integrates physical testing with digital twin technology to construct a fault location testing method for civil aircraft environmental control systems. Physical testing injects faults into a real hardware environment and collects multi-source data, providing a highly reliable calibration benchmark for the digital twin model. This effectively overcomes the inference errors caused by the simplified physical mechanisms in existing digital twin models. On the other hand, the digital twin environmental control system fault inference model can simulate extreme operating conditions and sporadic fault scenarios at low cost, compensating for the limitations of poor repeatability and high testing risk of physical testing. By dynamically adjusting model parameters and physical testing schemes using Bayesian optimization methods, this invention achieves bidirectional feedback between real physical data and virtual inference results. The final output of the fused fault location result retains the empirical reliability of physical testing while leveraging the scenario expansion capabilities of digital twins. This provides high-precision and high-reliability technical support for fault location in civil aircraft environmental control systems, helping to reduce maintenance decision-making risks and improve flight operation safety.
