Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft airbag deicing system maintenance and detection design, and specifically relates to an aircraft airbag deicing system maintenance and detection system. Background Art
[0002] When an aircraft flies in clouds containing supercooled water droplets, many parts will be frozen, which will deteriorate the aircraft's lift and drag characteristics and reduce the aircraft's flight safety. For this purpose, an airbag de-icing system is designed.
[0003] The aircraft airbag de-icing system is a mechanical de-icing system, including a bleed air main pipe and multiple bleed air branches connected to the bleed air main pipe through a de-icing distributor. An inflatable airbag is provided at the end of each bleed air branch pipe. Each airbag is arranged on the surface of multiple anti-icing areas on the aircraft. When ice forms on the surface of the anti-icing area on the aircraft, high-temperature, high-pressure gas is introduced through the bleed air main pipe, distributed by the de-icing distributor, and then filled into each airbag through each bleed air branch pipe, so that each airbag is periodically inflated to burst the ice layer, thereby achieving de-icing of the anti-icing area. A bleed air control valve is provided on the bleed air main pipe, and the de-icing distributor can control the bleed air pressure by opening and closing, and discharge the gas during the airbag exhaust stage. A safety valve is also provided, which opens when the pressure regulating function of the de-icing distributor fails to prevent overpressure downstream.
[0004] Currently, maintenance on aircraft airbag de-icing systems is mostly performed through visual inspection or confirmation inspection using dedicated equipment. The airbag de-icing system has a complex piping distribution, and the airbags are distributed in many locations on the aircraft and are difficult to reach. This places a heavy burden on maintenance personnel, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to omissions.

[0027] Practice has shown that abnormalities in aircraft airbag deicing systems are often manifested as abnormal airflow temperature and pressure in the bleed air main of the aircraft airbag deicing system, abnormal pressure on the bleed air branch pipe, and failure of the deicing distributor pressure regulating function. Based on this, the present application provides an aircraft airbag deicing system maintenance and detection system, such as Figure 1 shown.
[0028] Aircraft airbag de-icing system maintenance and inspection system, including:
[0029] The bleed air main pipe temperature sensor 1 is installed on the bleed air main pipe and before the bleed air control valve 2 to detect the temperature of the air flow in the bleed air main pipe;
[0030] The bleed air main pipe pressure sensor 3 is installed on the bleed air main pipe and before the bleed air control valve 2 to detect the air flow pressure in the bleed air main pipe;
[0031] Multiple bleed air branch pipe pressure sensors 4 are provided on each bleed air branch pipe to detect the air flow pressure in each bleed air branch pipe;
[0032] Maintain the detector 5, connect it to the bleed air main pipe temperature sensor 1, the bleed air main pipe pressure sensor 3 and each bleed air branch pipe pressure sensor 4, record the temperature of the air flow in the bleed air main pipe, the pressure of the air flow in the bleed air main pipe and the pressure of the air flow in each bleed air branch pipe, when the temperature of the air flow in the bleed air main pipe exceeds the allowable range of change of the air flow temperature in the bleed air main pipe, the pressure of the air flow in the bleed air main pipe exceeds the allowable range of change of the air flow pressure in the bleed air main pipe, and the pressure of the air flow in each bleed air branch pipe does not meet the allowable pressure change during the inflation and deflating stages of the airbag 7, the corresponding output is that the airbag de-icing system fails.
[0033] The allowable range of the air flow temperature in the air bleed main pipe is 125±5℃, the allowable range of the air flow pressure in the air bleed main pipe is 260±20kPa, the allowable pressure change during the inflation stage of airbag 7 is that the pressure of the air flow in the air bleed branch pipe is not less than 109kPa, and the duration does not exceed 2s, and the allowable pressure change during the deflating stage of airbag 7 is that the vacuum generated by the air flow in the air bleed branch pipe is not less than 24kPa.
[0034] The maintenance detector 5 is connected to the bleed air control valve 2 and can detect the position state of the bleed air control valve 2, so as to judge the inflation and deflation stages of the airbag 7 accordingly.
[0035] Maintain the detector 5 connected to the de-icing dispenser 6 to detect and record the pressure of the airflow at the outlet of the de-icing dispenser 6. When the pressure of the airflow at the outlet of the de-icing dispenser 6 exceeds the allowable range of the pressure of the airflow at the outlet of the de-icing dispenser 6, the corresponding output airbag de-icing system failure is detected.

[0037] The de-icing dispenser 6 outputs an open signal when the outlet air flow pressure is lower than 75.8 kPa, and outputs a closed signal when it is higher than 110.3 kPa. When the pressure increases, the pressure value for switching from the open position to the closed position is set to P1, and when the pressure decreases, the pressure value for switching from the closed position to the open position is set to P2. P1-P2 is not less than 1.9 kPa.

[0039] The pressure mentioned in the aircraft airbag de-icing system maintenance and detection system disclosed in the above embodiment is gauge pressure.
[0040] The aircraft airbag de-icing system maintenance and detection system disclosed in the above embodiment is designed to maintain a detector 5 connected to the bleed air main temperature sensor 1, the bleed air main pressure sensor 3, the bleed air branch pressure sensor 4, and the de-icing distributor 6. By detecting the temperature of the airflow in the bleed air main, the airflow pressure in the bleed air main, the airflow pressure in each bleed air branch, and the pressure of the airflow at the outlet of the de-icing distributor 6, the corresponding airbag de-icing system fault is output. This is efficient, convenient, and not prone to omissions.
