Description

A system and method for rapid coarse balancing of the center of mass of an air-floating platform Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air flotation platform technology, and specifically to a system and method for rapid coarse adjustment and balancing of the center of mass of an air flotation platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of space exploration technology, increasingly higher demands are being placed on the high-precision simulation of the attitude motion of spacecraft in orbit under microgravity environments. As the core equipment of such semi-physical simulation systems, the performance of the air-bearing platform directly affects the credibility of the simulation experiment. However, in actual use, the air-bearing platform is affected by gravitational disturbance torques caused by uneven distribution of its own weight and load, resulting in deviations between its motion attitude and the actual on-orbit state. Therefore, effectively reducing or eliminating unbalanced torques and achieving a high degree of coincidence between the platform's center of mass and rotation center has become a key technical bottleneck in ensuring the accuracy of simulation experiments.

[0003] To ensure that an air-bearing platform can effectively simulate the microgravity environment of space, a key aspect is aligning the platform's center of mass with its center of rotation to reduce gravitational interference torque. Currently, most methods in this field employ a combination of manual coarse leveling and automatic fine leveling. Manual coarse leveling, as a preliminary step, typically involves operators relying on experience to repeatedly add, remove, and move counterweights, visually inspecting or using simple instruments to roughly restore the air-bearing platform to a horizontal position. Clearly, this leveling method, dependent on manual operation, has significant drawbacks, specifically in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. The leveling process is inefficient and time-consuming. Manual operation relies on experience and trial-and-error adjustments, which is cumbersome. A complete coarse leveling usually takes 2-3 hours, which seriously slows down the experimental preparation progress.

[0005] 2. Limited leveling accuracy restricts subsequent processes; manual leveling is difficult to guarantee accuracy and often only achieves a rough balance. This inaccurate initial state will put an extra burden on the subsequent automatic fine leveling system, significantly prolonging the time required for fine leveling, thus further increasing the total time of the entire leveling process.

[0006] 3. Poor adaptability and difficulty in coping with changing experimental requirements. During the service life of the air-bearing platform, in order to complete different simulation experimental tasks, it is necessary to frequently change the load on the platform. Each load change will cause the center of mass to shift, which requires re-leveling. The problem of low efficiency of manual coarse leveling is amplified in this scenario, making the experimental process lengthy and unable to meet the modern experimental requirements of rapid task switching.

[0007] In view of this, this application aims to provide a new technology for coarse leveling of the center of gravity of an air-floating platform that can achieve rapid, accurate and automated operation, in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address at least one deficiency in the prior art by providing a system and method for rapid coarse adjustment and balancing of the center of mass of an air-bearing platform.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this invention is as follows: First, a system for rapid coarse adjustment and balancing of the center of mass of an air-bearing platform is provided, including a pressure measurement system, a control system, and an actuator; the pressure measurement system includes a base, a pressure sensor, and a positioning component; the pressure sensor is installed on the base to measure the pressure value at the corresponding position of the air-bearing platform and transmits the data to the control system; the positioning component provides a positioning reference for the air-bearing platform to ensure that the center of the air-bearing platform coincides with the center of the base; the control system is connected to the pressure measurement system and the actuator, and is used to receive the measured values ​​from the sensor and output corresponding control commands to the actuator after calculation; the actuator includes a motor, a clamp, a counterweight wire, and a shearing device; one end of the counterweight wire is fixed to the clamp, and the other end passes through the shearing device; the motor drives the clamp to rotate, thereby winding the counterweight wire around the clamp; the shearing device is configured to provide preload to the counterweight wire and cut the counterweight wire when receiving a control command from the control system.

[0010] Furthermore, the shearing device is equipped with a tension sensor to measure the tension borne by the counterweight wire and transmit it to the control system.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is rectangular and is composed of two symmetrical components joined together.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple pressure sensors, preferably four, distributed at the center points of the four sides of the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the motor and wire clamps are mounted on the air-floating platform, while the shearing device is mounted on the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning component is a positioning pin, which is used to provide a reference surface for the air-bearing platform to ensure that the lever arms of multiple pressure sensors are the same from the center of the air-bearing platform.

[0015] Furthermore, the counterweight wire is a metal wire; preferably, the counterweight wire is a copper wire.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method for rapid coarse balancing of the center of mass of an air-bearing platform based on the above-mentioned device, comprising the following steps: S1, initial positioning:

[0017] Place the base under the air-float platform, and use the positioning component to make the center of the air-float platform coincide with the center of the base, so that the air-float platform is in a free state.

[0018] S2, threading:

[0019] The counterweight wire is passed through the shearing device and one end is fixed to the wire hoop. The shearing device provides tension to the counterweight wire and also provides guidance for the counterweight wire.

[0020] S3. Measurement and Calculation:

[0021] The pressure value at the corresponding point on the air-float platform is measured by a pressure sensor, and the tension value of the counterweight wire at the corresponding position is measured by a tension sensor on the shearing device. The measurement results are transmitted to the control system, which calculates the deviation of the center of mass of the air-float platform and simultaneously calculates the number of turns of the counterweight wire at the corresponding position.

[0022] S4. Adjust the center of gravity:

[0023] The control system controls the motor to operate based on the deviation of the center of gravity, so that the counterweight wire at the corresponding position is wound around the hoop to adjust the center of gravity;

[0024] S5. Confirm cut:

[0025] When the control system determines that the center of gravity has been adjusted to the set target range, it controls the shearing device to cut the counterweight wire and checks the leveling result through the pressure sensor.

[0026] Furthermore, in step S3, the control system calculates the target number of turns of the counterweight wire based on the following steps:

[0027] S31. Calculate the vertical tension on the counterweight wire:

[0028] Place the air-float platform under no-load conditions on the coarse adjustment balancing system, and record the reference pressure value at position x read by the pressure sensor as Fx0. Then place the load on the air-float platform, and record the pressure value at position x read by the pressure sensor as Fx′. The difference between Fx0 and Fx′ can be eliminated by the actuator to quickly realize the leveling work of the air-float platform under load conditions.

[0029] During the leveling process, the counterweight wire is subjected to a tensile force Fj applied to it by the shearing device; the horizontal component of the tensile force Fj can be denoted as Ft, and the vertical component as Fc; the horizontal component Ft will not affect the center of mass of the air-floating platform, but Fc will affect the center of mass of the air-floating platform. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the variation law of the force Fc; Ft can be directly read by the tensile sensor in the shearing device. Let the distance between the fixed point of the counterweight wire (copper wire) on the wire hoop and the fixed point on the shearing device be L2 in the vertical direction and L1 in the horizontal direction, the diameter of the counterweight wire be d1, and the number of turns on the wire hoop be n. Then Fc can be calculated according to the following formula (1):

[0030] (1);

[0031] Where Ft is the horizontal component of the force, L1 is the horizontal distance between the two fixed points of the counterweight wire, L2 is the vertical distance between the two fixed points in the initial state, and d1 is the diameter of the counterweight wire.

[0032] S32. Calculate the weight of the counterweight wire:

[0033] Let the diameter at the winding position of the coil be d2 and the density of the copper wire be ρ. Then, the weight generated after the counterweight wire is wound around the coil n times is calculated according to the following formula (2):

[0034] G n =nπ 2 (d) 1+ d2) d1 2 ×ρ×g / 4 (2;

[0035] S33. Analyze the influence of the weight and tension of the counterweight wire on the pressure sensor reading:

[0036] Let the horizontal distance between the pressure sensor and the center of mass of the air-float platform be L, and the horizontal distance between the motor and the center of mass of the air-float platform be L. d According to the principle of torque, the vertical component F at position x is... cx and gravity G nx When converting to the pressure sensor position, it needs to be multiplied by a coefficient L. d / L; then the pressure value read from the pressure sensor when the coarse leveling system is working is:

[0037] F x = F x0 +(G nx +F cx L d / L (3);

[0038] S34. Calculate the number of laps n:

[0039] Assuming the center of mass of the air-bearing platform is adjusted to within a set value, the vertical component of the force at position x is F. cx ′ The corresponding measured horizontal component is F. t ′ When the counterweight wire is cut and the motor is stopped, the vertical component of the counterweight wire at position x will become zero. According to formula (3), we have:

[0040] F cx = 0;

[0041] F x = F max = F x0 + G nx L d / L; where F max The maximum values ​​read by the four pressure sensors when the air-float platform is first placed on the center of mass balancing device;

[0042] Therefore, to compensate for the loss of tension F in the vertical direction of the counterweight wire... cx ′ The subsequent effects require adjusting the tension F. cx ′ This is converted into the weight of the counterweight wire, that is, increasing the weight of the counterweight wire to G. ′ nx :

[0043] G ′ nx = G nx + F cx ′ =(F max -F x0 ) L / L d + F cx ′ (4);

[0044] The number of revolutions required to control the stepper motor through the control system can be calculated using formula (5):

[0045] (5);

[0046] The coarse leveling of the air-float platform can be completed after the motor rotates n revolutions.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0048] 1. In the solution of the present invention, the time for coarse leveling of the center of gravity of the air-bearing platform can be significantly reduced from 2 to 3 hours in the traditional manual method to 10 minutes through the coordinated work of the pressure measurement system, the control system and the actuator, which improves efficiency by more than an order of magnitude and greatly speeds up the experimental preparation process.

[0049] 2. The entire coarse leveling process of this invention, from pressure measurement and centroid offset calculation to the drive motor winding copper wire and finally cutting the copper wire, is automatically completed by the system, which completely changes the operation mode that relies on manual experience and repeated trial and error, and effectively eliminates the uncertainty and error introduced by human factors.

[0050] 3. In its non-operating state, the system of this invention can serve as a support mechanism to elevate the air-bearing platform, preventing continuous wear on the spherical air-bearing bearings and extending the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, its rapid response capability allows the air-bearing platform to quickly readjust when switching between different experimental loads, greatly improving its efficiency and adaptability in handling multi-task experiments.

[0060] Example

[0061] As shown in Figures 1-6, this embodiment provides a rapid coarse adjustment balancing system for the center of mass of an air-bearing platform 2, which includes a pressure measurement system, a control system, and an actuator. The pressure measurement system includes a base 1, pressure sensors 8, and a positioning component. The pressure sensors 8 are mounted on the base 1 to measure the pressure value at the corresponding position of the air-bearing platform 2 and transmit the data to the control system. There are four pressure sensors 8, which are respectively located at the center of the four sides of the base 1. The positioning component is used to provide a positioning reference for the air-bearing platform 2. The positioning component is a positioning pin 7 to ensure that the center of the air-bearing platform 2 coincides with the center of the base 1. This ensures that the four pressure sensors 8 are at the same distance from the center of the air-bearing platform 2, that is, to ensure that the lever arms of the four pressure sensors 8 from the center of the air-bearing platform 2 are the same.

[0062] In this embodiment, the control system mainly consists of a computer and control software. The control system is communicatively connected to the pressure measurement system and the actuator. It is used to receive measurement data from relevant sensors, process the data, and output corresponding control commands to the actuator.

[0063] In this embodiment, the actuator includes a stepper motor 3, a wire clamp 4, a counterweight wire 5, and a shearing device 6. The counterweight wire 5 is made of copper wire, with one end fixed to the wire clamp 4 and the other end passing through the shearing device 6. The stepper motor 3 drives the wire clamp 4 to rotate, winding the counterweight wire 5 around the wire clamp 4 to adjust the center of gravity position of the air-float platform 2. The shearing device 6 is configured to provide preload to the counterweight wire 5 and cut the counterweight wire 5 upon receiving a control command from the control system. A tension sensor is mounted on the shearing device 6 to measure the horizontal tension value of the copper wire during the coarse leveling process and output it to the control system for calculation and analysis. It is also used to cut the copper wire after detecting that the center of gravity leveling of the air-float platform 2 is complete.

[0064] In this embodiment, the base 1 is a rectangular frame, the size of which matches the corresponding air-floating platform 2; and the base 1 is composed of two symmetrical components spliced ​​together. This facilitates quick assembly and disassembly during use. The stepper motor 3 and the wire clamp 4 are mounted on the air-floating platform 2, while the shearing device 6 is mounted on the base 1.

[0065] The method of using the device in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0066] S1, Initial Positioning:

[0067] After assembling the two base components, place them under the air-bearing platform to support it. Then, tighten the air-bearing platform against the positioning pins on the base to ensure that the distance from the center of the air-bearing platform to the four pressure sensors is L. Then, remove the positioning pins to allow the air-bearing platform to be in a free state.

[0068] S2, threading:

[0069] The copper wire is passed through the shearing device and one end is fixed to the wire clamp. The shearing device provides tension and guidance to the copper wire.

[0070] S3. Measurement and Calculation:

[0071] The pressure value at the corresponding point on the air-float platform is measured by a pressure sensor, and the tension value of the counterweight wire at the corresponding position is measured by a tension sensor on the shearing device. All the measured values ​​are transmitted to the control system, which calculates the deviation of the air-float platform's center of gravity.

[0072] S4. Adjust the center of gravity:

[0073] The control system controls the motor to operate based on the deviation of the center of gravity, so that the counterweight wire at the corresponding position is wound around the hoop to adjust the center of gravity;

[0074] S5. Confirm cut:

[0075] When the control system determines that the center of gravity has been adjusted to the set target range, that is, the stepper motor has rotated the corresponding number of times, it controls the shearing device to cut the counterweight wire and checks the leveling result through the pressure sensor, thereby completing the entire leveling work.

[0076] Specifically, in step S3, the control system calculates the target number of turns of the counterweight wire based on the following steps:

[0077] S31. Calculate the vertical tension on the counterweight wire:

[0078] Place the air-float platform under no-load conditions on the coarse adjustment balancing system, and record the reference pressure value at position x read by the pressure sensor as Fx0. Then place the load on the air-float platform, and record the pressure value at position x read by the pressure sensor as Fx′. The difference between Fx0 and Fx′ can be eliminated by the actuator to quickly realize the leveling work of the air-float platform under load conditions.

[0079] During the leveling process, the counterweight wire is subjected to a tensile force Fj applied to it by the shearing device; the horizontal component of the tensile force Fj can be denoted as Ft, and the vertical component as Fc; the horizontal component Ft will not affect the center of mass of the air-floating platform, but Fc will affect the center of mass of the air-floating platform. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the variation law of the force Fc; Ft can be directly read by the tensile sensor in the shearing device. Let the distance between the fixed point of the counterweight wire (copper wire) on the wire hoop and the fixed point on the shearing device be L2 in the vertical direction and L1 in the horizontal direction, the diameter of the counterweight wire be d1, and the number of turns on the wire hoop be n. Then Fc can be calculated according to the following formula (1):

[0080] (1);

[0081] Where Ft is the horizontal component of the force, L1 is the horizontal distance between the two fixed points of the counterweight wire, L2 is the vertical distance between the two fixed points in the initial state, and d1 is the diameter of the counterweight wire.

[0082] S32. Calculate the weight of the counterweight wire:

[0083] Let the diameter at the winding position of the coil be d2 and the density of the copper wire be ρ. Then, the weight generated after the counterweight wire is wound around the coil n times is calculated according to the following formula (2):

[0084] G n =nπ 2 (d) 1+ d2) d1 2 ρ g / 4 (2);

[0085] S33. Analyze the influence of the weight and tension of the counterweight wire on the pressure sensor reading:

[0086] Let the horizontal distance between the pressure sensor and the center of mass of the air-float platform be L, and the horizontal distance between the motor and the center of mass of the air-float platform be L. d According to the principle of torque, the vertical component F at position x is... cx and gravity G nx When converting to the pressure sensor position, it needs to be multiplied by a coefficient L. d / L; then the pressure value read from the pressure sensor when the coarse leveling system is working is:

[0087] F x = F x0 +(G nx +F cx L d / L (3);

[0088] S34. Calculate the number of laps n:

[0089] Assuming the center of mass of the air-bearing platform is adjusted to within a set value, the vertical component of the force at position x is F. cx ′ The corresponding measured horizontal component is F. t ′ When the counterweight wire is cut and the motor is stopped, the vertical component of the counterweight wire at position x will become zero. According to formula (3), we have:

[0090] F cx = 0;

[0091] F x = F max = F x0 + G nx L d / L; where F max The maximum values ​​read by the four pressure sensors when the air-float platform is first placed on the center of mass balancing device;

[0092] Therefore, in order to balance and compensate for the loss of tension F in the vertical direction of the counterweight wire... cx ′ The subsequent effects require adjusting the tension F. cx ′ This is converted into the weight of the counterweight wire, that is, increasing the weight of the counterweight wire to G. ′ nx :

[0093] G ′ nx = G nx + F cx ′ =(F max -F x0 ) L / L d + F cx ′ (4);

[0094] The number of revolutions of the stepper motor controlled by the control system needs to be calculated using the following formula (5):

[0095] (5).
