Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rudder servo controller repair, in particular to an aircraft rudder servo controller test bench. Background Technique

[0002] The rudder servo controller is installed on the main control surface (rudder) of the aircraft, used to receive the control instructions of the flight control system, and drive the rudder to deflect, so as to complete the control of the flight attitude of the aircraft; during the operation of the aircraft, the aircraft jitter fault is relatively frequent, and the jitter caused by the rudder servo controller accounts for a relatively high proportion. Since the rudder servo controller has a more complex structure than other servo controllers and adds the structure of the rocker arm, ordinary test benches are not applicable. The existing test bench needs to be modified by external tooling and other methods, and the whole process is complex and troublesome, which has a certain impact on the repair and test of the rudder servo controller. Buying foreign original equipment is very expensive, and there are also problems such as long maintenance period and cumbersome procedures in later maintenance. Therefore, we propose an aircraft rudder servo controller test bench. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an aircraft rudder servo controller test bench to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0004] An aircraft rudder servo controller test bench includes a rudder servo controller. The cylinder end of the rudder servo controller is connected to a fixed seat, and the fixed seat is fixedly installed on the bench. One end of a first connecting rod is hinged to the piston rod of the rudder servo controller. The other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to one end of a second connecting rod. The other end of the second connecting rod is connected to a connecting seat. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod form a rocker arm. The connecting seat is installed on a first sliding connecting seat, and the first sliding connecting seat is slidably installed on a first slide rail. The side of the first sliding connecting seat is connected to a first displacement sensor, and the first displacement sensor is used to measure the displacement of the first sliding connecting seat. The first displacement sensor is installed on the bench parallel to the first slide rail. The first sliding connecting seat is also connected to the first telescopic rod of a first servo oil cylinder;

[0005] The piston rod end of the rudder servo controller is connected to one end of a second sliding connecting seat. The other end of the second sliding connecting seat is connected to one end of a force sensor. The other end of the force sensor is connected to one end of a third sliding connecting seat. The other end of the third sliding connecting seat is connected to the second telescopic rod of a second servo oil cylinder.

The side of the second sliding connecting seat is connected to a second displacement sensor, and the second displacement sensor is used to measure the displacement of the second sliding connecting seat. The second displacement sensor is installed on the bench parallel to the second slide rail.

[0006] Preferably, both the first servo cylinder and the second servo cylinder are installed on the bench, and both the first servo cylinder and the second servo cylinder are connected to the hydraulic source of the hydraulic pump station. The hydraulic pump station includes a booster pump, an oil tank, a relief valve, a directional control valve, an electric control box, etc., and can output a hydraulic source of 0 - 3000 psi and 10 gal / min.

Then, the pressure change is controlled by an external servo valve, causing the first telescopic rod of the first servo cylinder to make a reciprocating motion, driving the first sliding connection seat and the connection seat to move. Further, the rocker arm composed of the second connecting rod and the second connecting rod swings, driving the piston rod of the rudder servo controller to move. During the movement process, the load applied by the second servo cylinder to the piston rod through the second telescopic rod, the second sliding connection seat, and the third sliding connection seat is overcome, simulating the aerodynamic load during the flight of the aircraft. During the test process, the change of the force on the load is measured by the force sensor, and the speed and rate of the movement are measured by the first displacement sensor and the second displacement sensor.

One end of a first connecting rod 102 is hinged to the piston rod 101 of the rudder servo controller 1. The other end of the first connecting rod 102 is hinged to one end of a second connecting rod 103. The other end of the second connecting rod 103 is connected to a connecting seat 31. The first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 form a rocker arm. The connecting seat 31 is installed on a first sliding connecting seat 3. The first sliding connecting seat 3 is slidably installed on a first slide rail 4. The side of the first sliding connecting seat 3 is connected to a first displacement sensor 6. The first displacement sensor 6 is used to measure the displacement of the first sliding connecting seat 3. The first displacement sensor 6 is installed on the bench 2 parallel to the first slide rail 4. The first sliding connecting seat 3 is also connected to a first telescopic rod 51 of a first servo oil cylinder 5. During the test, a hydraulic pressure is provided by an external hydraulic pump station to the first servo oil cylinder 5 as a power source, and the pressure change is controlled by an external servo valve, so that the first telescopic rod 51 of the first servo oil cylinder 5 makes a reciprocating motion, driving the first sliding connecting seat 3 and the connecting seat 31 to move, and further causing the rocker arm formed by the second connecting rod 103 and the second connecting rod 103 to swing, driving the piston rod 101 of the rudder servo controller 1 to move.

[0016] One end of the piston rod 101 of the rudder servo controller 1 is connected to one end of the second sliding connection seat 7. The other end of the second sliding connection seat 7 is connected to one end of the force sensor 9. The other end of the force sensor 9 is connected to one end of the third sliding connection seat 10.

The second displacement sensor 8 is used to measure the displacement of the second sliding connection seat 7. The second displacement sensor 8 and the second slide rail 11 are parallelly mounted on the bench 2. During the test, hydraulic pressure is provided by an external hydraulic pump station to the second servo oil cylinder 12 as a load source.
