[0002] For conventional tail support force measurement tests, it is necessary to modify the tail of the model. At the same time, there is interference from the tail strut to the model, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the true shape cannot be obtained. By designing a side support test scheme, the interference amount of the model tail modification and the tail strut on the aerodynamic characteristics of the model can be obtained, and the support interference can be corrected to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of the true shape of the model. Therefore, the side support test has always been a research direction for obtaining higher-precision test data.

[0003] The design structure of a conventional side support test model is as Figure 1 shown. There is only one support ring at the opening of the middle section of the model, and the treatment is relatively simple. The strength of the middle section of the model is insufficient, and the large angle of attack and large load state cannot be realized. At the same time, the stiffness of the tail of the middle section of the model is insufficient, and it is easy to deform after multiple disassembly and assembly. The coaxiality between the tail section and the middle section of the model is poor after assembly. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed Implementation Manner

[0035] The following is a detailed description of the present utility model, and the features and advantages of the present utility model will become clearer and more definite with these descriptions.

[0038] Such as Figures 2 to 5 , the present utility model provides a structural design of a side-supported wind tunnel test model. Such as Figure 2 , the opening of the middle section 1 of the side-supported model is processed, and the support block 2 is made according to the model shape. Such asFigure 3 Fix the support block 2 and the middle section 1 of the model together with the connecting nails 4 between the middle section of the model and the support block, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Position the support block 2 with a support ring 3, and fix the support ring 3 on the middle section 1 of the model and the support block 2 with the fixing nails 5 of the support ring. The middle section 1 of the model is fixed to the balance 9 through a tapered sleeve 10.

[0039] The structure of the side support wind tunnel test model mainly includes: the middle section 1 of the model, the support block 2, the support ring 3 and the fixing screws. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0040] As shown in Figure 6 , since the side support strut runs across the middle section of the model, it is necessary to open an opening in the middle section of the model for the strut to pass through. At the opening of the middle section of the model, make a support block according to the model shape, and fix the support block and the middle section of the model together with the connecting nails 4 between the middle section of the model and the support block. Both ends of the middle section 1 of the model are connected to the front section 11 of the model and the rear section 12 of the model respectively.

[0041] Machine the support ring, position the support block, and fix the support ring 3 on the middle section 1 of the model and the support block 2 with the fixing nails 5 of the support ring.

[0042] The rear section of the model is mated with the middle section of the model through a cylindrical surface and fixed with the fixing nails 6 of the rear section of the model.

[0043] The model installation is completed, and the full-scale missile force measurement wind tunnel test and data acquisition process are carried out normally.

[0044] In the present utility model, to minimize the damage to the model shape, a support block is made according to the model shape and is mated with the middle section of the model. The support ring is fixed on the middle section of the model and the support block with the fixing nails 5 of the support ring to ensure no relative deformation between the middle section of the model and the support block, and the radial and axial positioning accuracy of the support block. At the same time, due to the presence of the support ring, the overall strength of the middle section of the model is improved, and it is applicable to test models with larger blowing loads.

[0045] In the present utility model, the middle section of the model and the support block are connected together by the connecting nails 4 between the middle section of the model and the support block, increasing the stiffness of the middle section of the model and reducing the deformation amount of the middle section of the model during the test.

[0046] In summary, the present utility model discloses a side support wind tunnel test model. The structure mainly includes the middle section of the model, the support ring, the support block, etc. The support ring is fixed on the middle section of the model and the support block with the fixing nails of the support ring. The middle section of the model and the support block are fixed together with the connecting nails between the model and the support block. The front section and the rear section of the model are connected to the middle section through cylindrical surface mating.

[0047] The utility model optimizes the structure of the opening at the middle section of the side support test model, increases the strength of the opening at the middle section of the model, and improves the test load that the model can withstand. The stiffness of the side support test model is increased, and the deformation of the opening at the middle section of the model after multiple disassembly and assembly is reduced. Moreover, the coaxiality after the assembly of the tail section and the middle section of the model is improved. At the same time, this structure is applicable to all configurations of missile and rocket aircraft.
