AI Technical Summary
Existing wind tunnel balance loading devices cannot meet the requirements of low-altitude propeller balances for simulating real installation methods, high rigidity, and lightweight calibration, especially for propeller balances with a diameter of less than 200mm, which cannot be calibrated with high precision.
A lightweight loading device suitable for low-altitude propeller balances was designed, including components such as a lifting base, a lower connector of the balance, a central body, a drag lug, and a rolling moment lifting ring. The strength and stiffness were checked using finite element analysis software to ensure the high stiffness and lightweight characteristics of the loading device, and the actual installation method was simulated.
It achieves high-precision calibration of low-altitude propeller balances. The loading device has high rigidity, light weight, and accurate positioning, which improves the accuracy of testing. It is suitable for static calibration of propeller balances with a diameter of less than 200mm and has good versatility.
