[0024] This utility model provides a comprehensive testing device for aircraft tachometers, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a main unit, a drive unit, a speed indicator, and a speed sensor. The main unit is equipped with a communication module. The main unit and the drive unit communicate via RS-232 through this module; the main unit communicates with the speed indicator and speed sensor via RS-422 through the same module. The drive unit has a linkage shaft, connecting it to the speed sensor. The test device's panel features a power indicator light, a power switch, a motor control switch, switches for combined and single-sided testing of the sensor and indicator, a speed setting knob, an amplitude adjustment knob, and a phase-to-phase voltage test port for signal monitoring. The tachometer integrated tester is powered by 220VAC±10% / 50Hz±5% AC, which is converted to 24VDC±10% DC via an AC-DC switching power conversion module to power the system under test. The main unit uses a 5.0-inch touchscreen LCD, providing a more intuitive, simple, and bright interface through a human-machine interface. The core of the drive unit uses a servo DC motor and a servo drive simulator. The servo motor employs a position mode to improve its load-carrying capacity. The servo drive simulator uses a PID algorithm to control the motor and acquires real-time speed data from the motor's speed encoder, forming a closed-loop system for more accurate output speed. The test equipment provides a simulated working environment for sensors and indicators, measures the output signals, and performs performance tests on the sensors and indicators by comparing parameters. It can also perform performance tests on indicators independently.

[0025] Specifically, the main unit also includes a power module, which primarily supplies power to the main unit, drive unit, LCD screen, and test piece. During the design process, considerations were taken into account regarding the product's operating environment, frequency of use, safety factors, and high accuracy requirements. Based on the actual workplace conditions and prioritizing ease of operation and use, a 220V / 50Hz industrial frequency power supply was adopted. The system internally requires 24VDC, 3.3VDC, ±15VDC, and +12V power supplies. The ±15VDC and 24VDC power supplies are derived from the 220VAC power supply via a switching power supply.

This circuit simulates the speed signal from a speed sensor. The DDS speed circuit simulates a speed range of 150 r / min to 6000 r / min with an accuracy of ±5 r / min.
