[0038] Through the above-mentioned drawings, specific embodiments of this application have been shown, and there will be more detailed descriptions hereinafter. These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of this application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners
[0039] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with this application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0040] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:
[0041] Electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (abbreviation: eVTOL): Its main feature different from conventional aircraft is that it can take off and land vertically, adopts distributed propulsion, and uses an all-electric / hybrid power drive system to provide power. A tilt-rotor aircraft is a type of vertical take-off and landing aircraft that transitions between vertical take-off and landing or hovering and horizontal flight by changing the orientation of the rotors.
[0042] During the research and development of eVTOL, in order to understand the actual aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft, wind tunnel tests are usually required to simulate the flight state of the real aircraft in the air. On the one hand, wind tunnel tests can supplement and verify the aerodynamic data obtained in the simulation environment. On the other hand, wind tunnel tests can also measure the mutual interference between the rotors and wings of the aircraft, thereby further optimizing the configuration design, manufacturing, and modification of the aircraft. These data are usually difficult to obtain in the simulation environment.
[0043] At present, some aerodynamic performance tests of aircraft for wind tunnel tests of helicopters and drones are simple and inefficient, and cannot meet the requirements of eVTOL aerodynamic performance tests.
[0044] The following uses specific embodiments to elaborate in detail on the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems. These several specific embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0045] Embodiment 1
[0046] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 1 of the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided by the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system includes:
[0047] An aircraft model 10, a support structure 20, an aircraft model control device 30, and a flow field control device 50. Among them, the aircraft model 10 includes a controller 101 and tilt rotors 105. For example, the controller can be a flight control computer.
[0048] Among them, the aircraft model 10 is arranged on the support structure 20 and in the flow field generated by the flow field control device 50. The flow field can be an air flow generated by a wind tunnel. The stationary aircraft model is arranged in the wind tunnel. At this time, the flow field control device 50 is a wind tunnel control device; the flow field can also be a flow field generated by a moving device. For example, the aircraft model 10 is arranged on a moving ground belt, or on a moving vehicle / rail vehicle, and the movement drives the aircraft model to move to generate air flow. At this time, the flow field control device 50 is a device for controlling the movable device. The flow field control device 50 can adjust the flow field parameters.
[0049] Among them, the aircraft model 10 and the support structure 20 are arranged in the flow field, and the aircraft model control device 30 is outside the flow field.
[0050] When conducting an aircraft aerodynamic performance test, the aircraft model 10 is arranged on the support structure 20, and the flow field control device 50 is turned on to generate a flow field. The aircraft model control device 30 is communicatively connected to the controller 101 in the aircraft model 10, and data transmission can be carried out by means of wired cable communication, such as universal serial bus, serial port communication, CAN bus, etc.; it can also be transmitted by means of wireless communication, such as wifi local area network communication, Bluetooth communication, radio frequency communication, etc.
[0051] The aircraft model control device 30 is used to control the operation of the equipment in the aircraft model 10, such as controlling the tilt angle of the tilt rotors in the aircraft model.
[0052] Above the support structure 20, the aircraft model 10 can be fixed. When the support structure 20 changes, it can drive the angle of attack of the aircraft model 10 to change.
[0053] Optionally, the flow field control device 50 is connected to the aircraft model control device 30.
[0054] Optionally, the aircraft model control device 30 is further configured to receive the test data of the aircraft model 10.
[0055] Optionally, the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system further includes a data acquisition device 40. The data acquisition device 40 is connected to the controller 101, and the data acquisition device 40 is configured to separately receive the test data of the aircraft model 10.
[0056] Optionally, the data acquisition device 40 is integrated in the aircraft model control device 30.
[0057] The aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided by this embodiment can, when an aerodynamic performance test is required, control the flight control computer connected thereto through the aircraft model control device outside the flow field, and then control the aircraft model to complete the required working condition test. Through this system, the user can control outside the flow field, improving the efficiency of the aerodynamic performance test of the aircraft model.
[0058] The aircraft model needs to conduct a large number of tests in the flow field. Through the above-mentioned aircraft aerodynamic performance test system, one staff member is responsible for sending instructions, and another staff member is responsible for data acquisition. A total of two personnel can achieve instruction sending and data acquisition tasks under different working conditions, reducing the number of test personnel, optimizing the test cost, and further improving the operation efficiency of the entire test process.
[0059] Embodiment 2
[0060] The configuration of the aircraft model for testing can be various. Different rotor combinations can be adopted, or different tail fin forms can be used. For example, for the rotor, a combination of tiltrotor and fixed rotor can be used, or all tiltrotors can be used; for another example, for the tail fin, a V-type tail fin can be used, or a configuration of a vertical tail fin and a horizontal tail fin can be adopted. On the basis of the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, Figure 2 This is a schematic structural diagram of the aircraft model provided by this application, as Figure 2 shown, the configuration of the aircraft model is a combination of tiltrotor and fixed rotor, and the tail fin adopts a V-type tail fin.
[0061] Among them, the controller 101 in the aircraft model is the flight control computer 1011. In addition to the flight control computer 1011, the aircraft model also includes multiple tilt servos 102, multiple control surface servos 103, power motors 104, tilt rotors 105, wings 106 and a tail wing 107;
[0062] Among them, the control surface can be the control surface of the flap on the wing, the control surface of the aileron, or the control surface of the rudder on the tail wing, the control surface of the elevator, or the control surface of the elevon. The control surface can also refer to the combined control surface of several of the above. Therefore, the control surface servo refers to the control surface servo of any one or several combinations of the above. The control surface servo is used to control the angle of the corresponding control surface.
[0063] An exemplary one is in Figure 2 where the control surfaces include the control surface of the elevon on the tail wing and the control surface of the elevator on the flap. Therefore, multiple control surface servos 103 are respectively arranged on the flap of the wing and the tail wing. The control surface servo is used to drive the corresponding control surface angle of the control surface servo. After the angle is changed, the pulling force direction of the aircraft model can be changed, and then the local attitude of the aircraft model can be adjusted.
[0064] Multiple tilt servos 102 are respectively arranged in the tilting mechanism of the tilt rotor 105. An exemplary one is in Figure 2 where the 4 rotors above the 4 tilt servos 102 are tilt rotors 105. Each tilt servo 102 is used to drive the tilting angle of the corresponding tilt rotor. After the tilting angle is changed, the pulling force direction can be changed.
[0065] Optionally, the tilt rotor 105 is connected to the fuselage of the aircraft model in a detachable manner, and the tilt rotor 105 can be disassembled or installed according to needs for corresponding aerodynamic performance tests; after the tilt rotor is installed, a powered full-aircraft aerodynamic performance test can be carried out under the action of the driving force, and a non-powered full-aircraft aerodynamic performance test can be carried out after the tilt rotor is disassembled.
[0066] The flight control computer 1011 is respectively connected to the controllers of multiple power motors 104, the servo controllers of multiple tilt servos 102 and the servo controllers of multiple control surface servos 103. The power motor 104 is used to control the rotation speed of the fixed rotor.
[0067] The aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided in this embodiment has a flight control computer 101 inside the aircraft model connected to the controllers of multiple power motors 104, the servo controllers of multiple tilting servos 102, and the servo controllers of multiple control surface servos 103 respectively. Each servo controller is responsible for controlling the corresponding servo or motor. Through the internal connection method of the aircraft model, the flight control computer controls multiple motors to adjust the attitude of the aircraft model, and can also prevent the interference of the wire harness on the surrounding flow field of the aircraft model when connecting to the transmission system externally, thus ensuring the accuracy of the test.
[0068] Embodiment III
[0069] The configuration of the aircraft model provided in this embodiment is a configuration that entirely adopts tilt rotors and a V-shaped tail. Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of the installation method of the aircraft model provided for this application, Figure 3 as shown, the support structure 20 includes a base 201, an arc track 202, and a support rod 203. The arc track 202 is connected to the base 201 and the support rod 203 respectively; the support rod 203 is connected to the aircraft model 10;
[0070] When the support rod 203 moves on the arc track 202, it can drive the aircraft model 10 to rotate, changing the angle of attack of the aircraft model.
[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 3 as shown in Figure a in Figure 3 the aircraft model is installed upright on the support rod of the support structure; as shown in Figure b in
[0072] the aircraft model is installed upside down on the support rod of the support structure. Through different installation methods, the aerodynamic performance under different working conditions can be measured.
[0073] Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of the structure of Embodiment IV of the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided for this application, Figure 4 as shown, on the basis of Embodiment I, the aircraft model control device 30 is connected to the flight control computer 1011 through a serial port.
[0074] The cost of serial port devices and connection cables is relatively low, reducing the cost of system deployment and maintenance, especially more suitable for small and medium-sized eVTOL systems. Serial port connection can also provide high real-time performance, suitable for control and sensor data transmission that requires immediate response. Although it is not as fast as the CAN bus, for some low-rate transmission and control tasks, the serial port is sufficient.
[0075] Embodiment V
[0076] The configuration of the aircraft model provided in this embodiment is a configuration that entirely adopts tilt rotors and a V-shaped tail.Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of the fourth embodiment of the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided by this application, as Figure 5 shown, the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system further includes a balance data collector 108;
[0077] The balance data collector 108 is arranged inside the aircraft model 10.
[0078] In some embodiments, the balance data collector 108 includes an aircraft balance and a rotor balance.
[0079] The aircraft balance can be arranged at the front, rear, middle, or side of the fuselage of the aircraft model, and the specific arrangement position is not limited.
[0080] The rotor balance can also be arranged below, above, or on the side of the rotor.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, the aircraft balance is a six-component aircraft balance 1081, and the rotor balance is a six-component rotor balance 1082;
[0082] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the six-component aircraft balance 1081 is arranged in the middle area of the fuselage of the aircraft model 10; the six-component rotor balance 1082 is arranged below the tilt-rotor. There can be multiple balance data collectors, and the number of balances can be set according to needs. One exemplary, in Figure 6 it, one six-component aircraft balance 1081 and six six-component rotor balances 1082 are arranged inside the aircraft model 10.
[0083] In some embodiments, multiple six-component rotor balances can all be arranged on one side of the wing.
[0084] In some embodiments, the balance data collector 108 is connected to the flight control computer 1011.
[0085] The six-component aircraft balance can measure the total pulling force and torque of the aircraft in various directions, so as to comprehensively evaluate its dynamic performance. By measuring the force and torque of the whole aircraft, the center of gravity position and attitude stability of the aircraft can be accurately calculated. The six-component rotor balance can accurately measure the force and torque of each rotor in various directions, help study the dynamic response and performance of the rotor in different flight stages (such as takeoff, flight, and landing), can help evaluate the force and torque distribution of the rotor in the hover state, and verify the stability and control performance during hovering. By analyzing the data collected by the rotor balance, the rotor design can be optimized, its aerodynamic characteristics can be improved, the efficiency can be increased and the vibration can be reduced, thereby improving the flight quality and passenger comfort.

[0090] In some embodiments, the wind tunnel data acquisition device 109 is connected to the flight control computer 1011 through a CAN bus.
[0091] The CAN bus can provide high-speed data transmission capabilities. The CAN bus supports real-time data transmission and has good synchronization performance, which is suitable for the requirements of real-time and accurate data transmission in wind tunnel tests. This is very important for the flight control computer. And using the CAN bus can reduce the complexity and cost of wiring. Compared with traditional parallel interfaces or multiple individual connections, the CAN bus only requires two wires, which can effectively reduce the number of cables and simplify the system design and installation process.

[0109] Embodiment XI
[0110] Figure 11 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment XI of the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system provided by this application. The aircraft model is an eVTOL model and is set in the wind tunnel. As Figure 11 shown, the aircraft aerodynamic performance test system mainly includes an eVTOL control system, a wind tunnel control system, a data acquisition system, and a data monitoring system.
[0111] The eVTOL control system in the control room mainly controls parameters such as the tilt angle operation amount, rudder surface angle manipulation amount, and power motor speed of the aircraft model by sending control instruction frames. The instructions are sent to the flight control computer of the aircraft model through the serial port. After receiving the instructions, the flight control controls the corresponding servos and motors to complete the instruction actions. Among them, the aircraft model is placed in the flow field environment. The instruction - sending PC sets parameters such as the angle of attack, sideslip angle, environmental wind speed, and the motor speed, tilt angle, and rudder surface angle of the aircraft according to the working conditions requirements, thereby generating a control instruction frame and sending the control instruction frame to the flight control computer inside the scaled - down model through the serial port to achieve the control of the aircraft.

The data acquisition PC is mainly responsible for real - time collecting wind tunnel test data through the CAN bus (including the angle of attack, sideslip angle, wind speed, motor speed, tilt angle, rudder surface angle of the aircraft from the flight control computer, and the measured torque feedback from the balance), and timely exporting the data to the staff for analysis and decision - making on the test direction.
[0114] The parameter monitoring computer is mainly responsible for monitoring whether the model's own parameters meet the test requirements under different working conditions. The monitored parameters mainly include the wind speed, angle of attack, motor speed, tilt servo angle, control surface servo angle in the environment where the aircraft is located, as well as the unlocking status information and health status of each motor, etc. Among them, the unlocking status information of the motor refers to whether the motor is locked. When a certain motor is locked, it means that the motor cannot be controlled. Users can determine whether the model can be tested normally according to the monitored unlocking status of the motor; the health status of the motor also refers to the working state and performance of the motor, which is used to describe the running health status of the motor and predict its possible failures. For example, when the temperature is too high, the health status decreases.
