Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ground integrated testing technology for rotorcraft, and particularly relates to a multi-rotor dynamic test bench. Background Technology

[0002] Rotorcraft possess unique capabilities such as vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, ultra-low-altitude flight, and lateral movement. With advancements in battery technology, electric motors have become a viable power source for aircraft. Modern electric propulsion technology provides a solution for electrically driven vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, eliminating the need for engines and transmission systems. This "disassembles" the rotor into separate components, breaking the configuration limitations of traditional helicopters. Through configurational innovation, design goals such as high speed and high safety redundancy can be achieved. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of electric propulsion systems, the performance of the aircraft platform can remain largely consistent across plains and high-altitude environments.

[0003] Because electrically driven multirotor aircraft have multiple rotor systems with varying rotational speeds, the overall design phase is limited by existing test bench technology, making it impossible to use a universal test bench for multi-objective variations in the selection and design process. Existing multirotor aircraft test benches are mainly designed for single (four / six / eight) configurations and lack the ability to dynamically adjust the dynamic characteristics of the test bench itself. In other words, they cannot continuously conduct dynamic tests with a large range of rotational speed variations, and the test benches lack dynamic demonstration processes for variant multirotor aircraft. All of these problems limit the functionality of the test benches.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of variable fundamental frequency multi-functional multi-rotor dynamic test rig that combines the above features, so as to realize dynamic testing of different numbers of rotors and different test objectives. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the limitations of existing multirotor test benches, which primarily target single configurations and lack the ability to dynamically adjust the test bench's dynamic characteristics, as well as the absence of dynamic demonstration processes for variant multirotor aircraft, thus restricting the test bench's functionality, this invention provides a variable fundamental frequency multi-functional multirotor dynamic test bench for variable-speed helicopter rotor configurations, installation angles, and dynamic operation processes. It enables testing of different numbers of rotors, different rotor layouts, dynamic variants, and dynamic speed changes. Furthermore, it provides a variable fundamental frequency control scheme for the test bench during dynamic speed changes. This variable fundamental frequency dynamic test bench can be used for variable performance testing, dynamic testing, and flight mechanics testing of electrically driven variable-speed multirotor aircraft. The technical solution is as follows: In a first aspect, a multi-rotor dynamic test bench is provided, comprising: a central test bench frame 100, a base frequency adjustment system 200, a central support hub 300, a motion support arm system 400, a dynamic rotor hub system 500, and an external system 600.

Based on the liquid level position information, the real-time loading management computer analyzes the system's fundamental frequency and damping at that moment, and, combined with the rotor speed sent by the speed sensor 502, adjusts the fundamental frequency and damping.

The tilt servo motor 505 is also connected to the servo control system of the external system 600. The forward tilt of the dynamic hub system 500 is fed back to the test equipment through the dynamic hub angle sensor 506, which is used to load the management computer to obtain the tilt angle of the dynamic hub system 500 in real time. The brushless motor 504 is connected to the rotor hub adapter 501, and the upper end can be connected to the rotor system to perform the rotation function; the speed sensor 502 is installed on the rotor hub adapter 501 to measure the rotor system speed and feed it back to the test equipment.
