Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of helicopter full-aircraft transfer function tests, and particularly relates to a load excitation simulation device and system based on an electro-hydraulic type. Background Art

[0002] Compared with other aircraft, the working environment of a helicopter is very complex, which is attributed to the special dynamic structure characteristics of the helicopter. The helicopter rotor is not a simple periodically rotating component. In order to maintain stable and controllable flight, the main rotor needs to perform various actions according to the flight control instructions, thereby transmitting a series of complex combined loads to the hub center to keep the airframe flying stably and controllably. These loads play an important role in maintaining the normal flight of the aircraft, but they will also be transmitted to various parts of the airframe structure, thus affecting the use experience of passengers and the functions and service lives of airborne equipment. In order to improve the working environment of the helicopter cockpit and cabin, ensure that the airborne equipment is in good operating condition, and extend its service life, it is necessary to conduct transfer function tests on the helicopter before and after its first flight. Through the tests, the transfer rate from the hub center to the key parts of the airframe structure is obtained, providing data support for the subsequent optimization layout and improvement of the airframe structure. During the full-aircraft transfer function test process, the simulation of the working load environment at the hub center is particularly important, because the distortion of the test simulation load may seriously affect the test data, thus affecting the subsequent optimization and improvement work of the helicopter. Among all the load conditions simulated at the helicopter hub center, the simulation of the couple moment is the most complex, and its influence on the test data is also relatively large, because the couple moment simulation involves two loading points, and the two-point loading needs to be strictly synchronized and reversed during the test process.

[0003] In the related technology, an electromagnetic exciter is usually used to simulate the couple moment loading. However, with the successful development of new models, the disadvantages of this traditional test loading method have been gradually magnified, and even affected the development of the transfer function test technology. First of all, with the increase in the helicopter tonnage, the loading force of the electromagnetic exciter can no longer meet the requirements of the test loading magnitude, and it is urgent to develop an exciter device with a larger couple moment loading tonnage; secondly, when using the electromagnetic exciter to simulate the couple moment loading, there is usually a serious phase overshoot phenomenon in the low-frequency range of the couple moment, which makes the test data lack reliability; finally, there is a certain instability in the synchronous control of the couple moment using the electromagnetic exciter, and some local airframe frequencies often interfere with or even interrupt the test.
