Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of blade dynamics testing technology, and particularly relates to a vibration test system for identifying the dynamic parameters of tilt rotor blades. Background Technology
[0002] As a novel type of aircraft combining the high speed and long range of fixed-wing aircraft with the short takeoff / vertical landing (STOVL) capabilities of tiltrotor aircraft, accurate characterization of its dynamic characteristics is a core prerequisite for ensuring flight stability and optimizing controllability design. Especially during the transition between helicopter and fixed-wing modes, the rotor blades must withstand complex aerodynamic loads, inertial loads, and aeroelastic coupling effects. Their natural frequency, damping ratio, and other dynamic parameters directly affect flight safety and maneuverability. Dynamic parameter identification, as the core means of obtaining these key characteristics, requires precise excitation tests to stimulate the blade vibration response, thereby achieving parameter inversion and providing data support for dynamic modeling and structural optimization. However, existing tiltrotor blade excitation testing technologies still have many problems that urgently need to be solved: First, when the blade is rotating, traditional methods such as hammering and hoisting exciters are difficult to achieve effective excitation and are prone to introducing additional mass interference, resulting in distorted vibration response signals and an inability to accurately capture the dynamic characteristics under rotating conditions; Second, tiltrotor aircraft have multiple flight mode switching characteristics, and existing test systems are mostly designed for a single mode, making it difficult to adapt to the excitation requirements of varying operating conditions within the 0~90° tilt angle range, and unable to fully cover the parameter change patterns during mode transitions; Third, in complex test environments such as wind tunnels, conventional excitation devices are easily affected by airflow interference, and sensor placement and signal transmission are easily limited by space, resulting in insufficient accuracy of frequency response data acquisition and difficulty in meeting the parameter identification requirements under aeroelastic coupling scenarios; Fourth, the excitation frequency range and load amplitude adjustment flexibility of existing test systems are limited, making it impossible to match the test requirements of blades of different sizes and stiffnesses, resulting in poor versatility, and the parameter identification process is easily affected by environmental noise, leading to large errors in the identification results.
[0003] Although some studies have optimized the excitation and response measurement of rotating components using methods such as electromagnet excitation and image acquisition, or conducted aeroelastic stability studies of tiltrotors through wind tunnel testing systems, these technologies mostly focus on specific operating conditions such as a single rotational speed, a fixed tilt angle, or local performance such as flutter boundary prediction. They have failed to develop a comprehensive, interference-resistant, and high-precision excitation test system for identifying tiltrotor blade dynamic parameters that can adapt to multiple operating conditions. This makes it difficult to meet the demand for comprehensive, accurate, and efficient acquisition of blade dynamic parameters in engineering research and development. Therefore, developing an excitation test system that can adapt to combined rotation and tilting operating conditions, possesses strong anti-interference capabilities, and is highly versatile, to achieve accurate identification of blade dynamic parameters, has become a key technological bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome in the development of tiltrotor technology. Summary of the Invention

This system is compact, easy to operate, and can achieve precise positioning of the blade's tilt attitude from 0° to 90° through attitude adjustment. A multi-point coordinated vibration module applies broadband random excitation or sinusoidal frequency sweep excitation as needed. Data analysis identifies core dynamic parameters such as the blade's natural frequency, mode shape, and damping ratio. This invention is suitable for variable operating condition testing of tiltrotor blades, featuring high identification accuracy, strong versatility, and convenient operation. It can effectively shorten the testing cycle, reduce R&D costs, and provide reliable data support for blade structure optimization design and flight safety verification.
