Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of actuator testing technology, and relates to a high-precision displacement measuring device for a dual-cylinder parallel actuator. Background Technology
[0002] Dual-cylinder parallel actuators are widely used in servo actuator technology. Their main feature is that two sets of cylinders are connected in parallel, simultaneously driving the control surface, greatly improving work efficiency. However, because dual-cylinder parallel actuators consist of two sets of cylinders and four single pistons, force conflict is prone to occur when they are used synchronously. Force conflict arises from the accumulation of errors during actuator manufacturing and assembly, or from inconsistent outputs of different actuators due to long-term wear, causing the two actuators to interfere with each other and create conflict.
[0003] The cumulative force conflicts between actuators can cause fatigue or damage to local structures of aircraft control surfaces. Therefore, the hydraulic field urgently needs a fixture suitable for high-precision displacement measurement of parallel twin-cylinder actuators, capable of accurately simulating and measuring the displacement of parallel twin-cylinder actuators on the aircraft.
[0004] Currently, directly using a measuring fixture for a single-cylinder actuator to measure the displacement accuracy of each cylinder in a double-cylinder parallel actuator does not actually reflect the actual output displacement of the double-cylinder parallel actuator, nor can it reflect the force conflict issues that exist in the double-cylinder parallel actuator. Utility Model Content

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a high-precision displacement measuring device with two parallel actuator cylinders. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the sensor linkage structure. This invention provides a high-precision displacement measuring device for a dual-cylinder parallel actuator, comprising: a structural device and a measuring device; wherein,
[0034] The structural device includes: a base plate 1, an actuator cylinder seat 2, a first test bench pin 3, an inner rocker arm 4, a connecting rod 6, a rocker arm support 8, a second test bench pin 9, and an angular contact bearing 10.
[0035] The measuring device includes a magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor and a sensor linkage;
[0036] The actuator base 2 and the two rocker arm supports 8 are connected to the base plate 1 by bolts and positioning pins; the double-cylinder parallel actuator is fixed to the actuator base 2;
[0037] The two ends of the inner rocker arm 4 are rotatably connected to the two rocker arm supports 8 via angular contact bearings 10;
[0038] The inner rocker arm 4 and the first ends of the four connecting rods 6 are connected by the first adjustment table shaft pin 3 to achieve single and double ear rotation connection;
[0039] The lugs of the four pistons of the double-barrel parallel actuator are connected to the second ends of the four connecting rods 6 through the second adjustment table shaft pin 9 to achieve single and double lug rotation connection;
[0040] The magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor is mounted on the actuator cylinder base 2. One end of the sensor connecting rod is connected to the bearing hole of the magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor, and the other end is connected to the shaft pin 9 of the second debugging table. As the shaft pin 9 of the second debugging table moves, the magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor determines the displacement of the parallel actuator cylinder by measuring the displacement of the sensor connecting rod in the bearing hole.
[0041] Optionally, the number of the first test stand shaft pin 3 and the second test stand shaft pin 9 are both two;
[0042] Two connecting rods 6 are connected to each first test bench pin 3 and each second test bench pin 9.
[0043] Optionally, the two ends of the connecting rod 6 are double-ear structures, making the structure of the connecting rod 6 H-shaped.
[0044] Optionally, the inner rocker arm 4 is arranged parallel to the actuating cylinder seat 2.
[0045] Optionally, the high-precision displacement measuring device for the dual-cylinder parallel actuator also includes: a first bushing 5 and a second bushing 7;
[0046] The inner rocker arm 4 is connected to the first test bench shaft pin 3 via the first bushing 5;
[0047] The connecting rod 6 is connected to the first test bench pin 3 and the second test bench pin 9 via the second bushing 7.
[0048] Optionally, a pin hole is provided at the end of the second test stand shaft pin 9 near the magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor.
[0049] The other end of the sensor connecting rod is inserted into the pin hole and connected to the second test bench shaft pin 9.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the support and base plate of the entire tooling are interference fit, effectively eliminating tooling clearance; the actuator seat is machined as a single piece, and the horizontal side-by-side placement of the actuators effectively enhances the tooling strength and torsional resistance. The double-cylinder parallel actuators are fastened to the flange face and actuator support through four bolts, spring washers, and flat washers.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the entire fixture uses a linkage and rocker arm structure similar to the actual installation on the simulator. Four linkages connect the actuator piston to the rocker arm, enabling the measurement of the displacement of the dual-cylinder parallel actuator under real service conditions. Furthermore, because this fixture directly measures the center displacement of the earring, it overcomes the traditional method of indirectly measuring displacement using a grating ruler and slide plate, thus significantly reducing fixture clearances and measurement errors.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensor connecting rod includes a connecting rod head 11 and a connecting rod post 12. The magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor is mounted on the actuating cylinder base 2. One end of the connecting rod post 12 is connected to the bearing hole of the magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor, and the other end of the connecting rod head 11 is connected to the shaft pin 9 of the second test bench. As the shaft pin 9 of the second test bench moves, the magnetostrictive linear displacement sensor determines the displacement of the dual-cylinder parallel actuating cylinder by measuring the displacement of the sensor connecting rod in the bearing hole.
[0053] Extensive experiments have demonstrated that the dual-cylinder parallel high-precision displacement measuring fixture of this invention is not only simple in structure and easy to assemble and disassemble, but also possesses high strength and can effectively simulate the actual connection methods and stress states on an aircraft. Currently, this fixture has been applied to the debugging of multiple aircraft actuators.
[0054] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
