Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft test data processing technology, and relates to an analysis method and system for aircraft flight test data, specifically to a comprehensive analysis method and system for aircraft test data. Background Technology
[0002] In aircraft development, testing is an effective means of requirements confirmation and verification, and the analysis of test data is of great significance for requirements confirmation, flight test safety, requirements verification, and airworthiness certification. However, existing test data analysis methods face the following problems: Diverse data types: Test data for the same system / equipment comes from sources such as simulator test data, flight test data, and laboratory test data, with different data types and formats, making the analysis process complex and time-consuming.
[0003] Data volume and complexity: The experimental data is massive and involves multiple aspects such as the aircraft's physical state, sensor signals, airborne system / equipment status information, intermediate variables, etc. The data is diverse, and traditional manual analysis methods are inefficient.
[0004] Fault identification and localization are difficult: Existing methods are unable to quickly locate complex faults, especially combined fault scenarios, which affects the timeliness of fault handling and maintenance.
[0005] Insufficient data visualization: Existing tools are unable to intuitively display the correlation between multiple types of data, making it difficult to quickly understand and apply the analysis results. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address this, the present invention provides a comprehensive analysis method and system for aircraft test data, which can efficiently process various types of data, including engineering simulator data, flight test data, and laboratory test data, and solves the shortcomings of existing methods in terms of data analysis efficiency, fault location, and visualization.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A comprehensive analysis method for aircraft test data includes the following steps: S1 collects aircraft test data, including engineering simulator data, flight test data and laboratory test data, and preprocesses the aircraft test data; S2, based on the sensor signal status, airborne system and equipment status information, and alarm logic of the aircraft test data, establish a data association model to associate the aircraft test data; S3, extract alarm information, anomaly modes and fault characteristics from the correlated aircraft test data; S4, generate data charts related to fault alarms; if there are no alarms, generate abnormal data charts. S5 generates an analysis report.
[0008] Furthermore, in S1, preprocessing includes uniformly formatting and labeling the aircraft test data, and removing noise and redundant information.
[0009] Furthermore, in S2, the data association model is established based on the relationships between various airborne systems and equipment of the aircraft. Specifically, the relationships are the signal transmission relationships, mechanical transmission relationships, and control sequence relationships of all airborne systems and equipment in the aircraft operation.
[0010] Furthermore, in S2, the alarm logic and alarm triggering conditions for each airborne system and device of the aircraft are set in the association model. The alarm logic specifically includes airborne system and device alarms and all associated signals.
[0011] Furthermore, in S2, the correlation model also includes correlating all aircraft test data with the aircraft's flight phases.
[0012] Furthermore, in S3, the extraction methods include: Alarm signals and sensor fault signals are discrete quantities, where 0 represents normal and 1 represents fault. When a fault occurs, the occurrence and duration of the fault are recorded. At the same time, relevant equipment operating status and the current flight phase information of the aircraft are extracted based on the correlation model, and the changing trend of the analog quantities is analyzed through time series analysis.
[0013] Furthermore, in S3, if there is alarm information, the alarm-related data is organized according to the alarm information and alarm association rules, the integrated data is analyzed, potential faults are identified, and the faulty component or time point is located; if there is no alarm information, the data is analyzed according to the data anomaly judgment rules, the abnormal data is organized, and the time when the data anomaly occurred is located.
[0014] An aircraft-oriented test data comprehensive analysis system includes flight test data analysis software running on a computer. The flight test data analysis software runs a aforementioned aircraft-oriented test data comprehensive analysis method. It imports aircraft test data into the flight test data analysis software, then uses the association model generation module in the flight test data analysis software to edit the rules of the association model, and finally obtains an analysis report through the analysis report generation module.
[0015] Technical effects: 1. Efficiently process multiple data types: Improve the ability to process different data types through unified data preprocessing and integrated analysis.
[0016] 2. Rapid Fault Location: The fault identification algorithm based on association rules can quickly locate the source of the fault and reduce analysis time.
[0017] 3. Intuitive data display: Through highly visualized charts, it helps users quickly understand complex data relationships and failure modes.
[0018] 4. Support aircraft maintenance: Improve aircraft maintainability through analysis reports. Attached Figure Description
