Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aero-engine testing technology, and in particular to a reverse thrust hydraulic testing system. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional hydraulic testing systems often employ single-parameter static loading methods, such as simulating loads through constant pressure or displacement. This makes it difficult to reproduce the dynamic, multi-dimensional load environment faced by aero-engine thrust reversers in actual flight (such as nonlinear load fluctuations caused by changes in airspeed and angle of attack). Furthermore, existing systems are insufficient in terms of testing coverage (the entire lifecycle of design verification, production testing, and maintenance support) and intelligent diagnostic capabilities, resulting in low testing efficiency and poor adaptability.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a hydraulic thrust reverser testing system, comprising:
[0026] The hydraulic test platform for thrust reverser, hydraulic servo system, measurement and control system and main control system work together to complete a comprehensive test of the hydraulic actuator of the thrust reverser device.
[0027] Based on an FPGA+ARM hardware architecture, an adaptive control algorithm (PID-fuzzy control, settling time ≤50ms) and a PHM (problem prediction and health management) module are deployed. The main control software adopts a modular design, supports user-defined test schemes (such as step response, sine sweep frequency), and automatically generates an evaluation report containing a health index (HI≥0.8 is normal).
[0028] Based on the preset test plan, the main control system automatically adjusts the parameters (integrating PID-fuzzy control algorithm library and PHM diagnostic module) and generates a diagnostic report, improving test efficiency by more than 40% (single test time ≤ 1.2h).
[0029] The hydraulic test platform for reverse thrust includes two left platforms 10 and two right platforms 11. The left platform 10 includes platform 1 and platform 2, and the right platform 11 includes platform 3 and platform 4. Platforms 1, 2, 3 and 4 are arranged sequentially from left to right. Platform 1 is the main loading platform, and platforms 2, 3 and 4 are all follow-up platforms.
[0030] In the thrust reverser hydraulic testing system, the thrust reverser hydraulic testing platform, hydraulic servo system, measurement and control system, and main control system work together. The main control system generates a dynamic load curve using a preset algorithm based on the input target operating parameters (such as airspeed and angle of attack), and then sends commands to the hydraulic servo system. The hydraulic servo system outputs corresponding flow and pressure according to the commands, driving the thrust reverser to simulate actions. During this process, the measurement and control system collects various data (displacement, pressure, temperature, etc.) in real time and transmits them to the main control system. The main control system analyzes the collected data to determine if there are any deviations in the performance of the thrust reverser. If deviations are found, it sends adjustment commands to the hydraulic servo system to ensure the accuracy of the test. After the test is completed, the main control system automatically generates a report including a health status assessment.
[0031] Specifically, the hydraulic servo system includes a return oil filter 1, a high-pressure oil filter 2, a pressure transmitter 3, an accumulator 4, an electro-hydraulic servo valve 5, a solenoid switch 6, a safety valve 7, a throttle valve 8, and a loading actuator 9. The solenoid switch 6 is connected to the electro-hydraulic servo valve 5, the throttle valve 8 is connected to the solenoid switch 6, the safety valve 7, and the loading actuator 9, the pressure transmitter 3 and the accumulator 4 are both connected to the high-pressure oil filter 2, and the high-pressure oil filter 2 is connected to the return oil filter 1.
[0032] Through the above structure, a dual redundant hydraulic energy supply system is integrated (maximum flow rate of 120L / min per pump, pressure 0-50MPa), using an electro-hydraulic servo valve 5 (frequency response ≥200Hz) and an accumulator 4 (volume 80L, pre-charged nitrogen pressure 35MPa); through the linkage of the throttle valve 8 (linearity error ≤1%) with flight operating parameters (airspeed, angle of attack), a dynamic load model is constructed, expanding the test dimensions, and the load simulation error is ≤3% (compared to 15% of the traditional system); combined with a six-degree-of-freedom motion platform, multi-directional load coupling in space is achieved (axial force ±50kN, lateral force ±10kN), ensuring high-pressure, high-frequency energy output.
[0033] Specifically, the measurement and control system includes a multi-channel controller (sampling frequency ≥10kHz) and a signal acquisition system. The signal acquisition system is connected to test benches 1, 2, 3 and 4, and test bench 1 is connected to the multi-channel controller.
[0034] Specifically, both the left platform 10 and the right platform 11 include an outer frame, a loading structure, a reverse thrust motion guide device, and a gravity slide rail. The outer frame is made of aerospace steel with a tensile strength ≥450MPa. The loading structure integrates a six-degree-of-freedom motion simulation device with a repeatability accuracy of ±0.05mm.
[0035] Specifically, the signal acquisition system includes a laser sensor (accuracy ±0.01mm), a piezoelectric sensor (accuracy ±0.01mm), a turbine flow meter (accuracy ±0.5%FS), and a temperature sensor (PT100 probe, temperature range -50~150℃).
[0036] The thrust-reverse hydraulic test platform is connected to the hydraulic servo system via a high-pressure pipeline to ensure sealing; the measurement and control system is equipped with displacement sensors (accuracy ±0.01mm), pressure sensors (range 0-50MPa), temperature sensors, etc., and connected to the main control system; the main control system deploys an adaptive control algorithm (PID-fuzzy control algorithm library) and a PHM diagnostic module.
[0037] Test process
[0038] Step 1: Input the target operating parameters (such as airspeed and angle of attack), and the main control system will generate a dynamic load curve;
[0039] Step 2: The hydraulic servo system outputs the corresponding flow rate and pressure according to the command, driving the reverse thrust device to simulate the action;
[0040] Step 3: The measurement and control system collects data in real time, and the main control system analyzes performance deviations and sends back adjustment instructions;
[0041] Step 4: After the test is completed, a report containing a health status assessment will be automatically generated.
[0042] Extended Applications
[0043] By replacing the sensor module and load model, it can be adapted to the testing requirements of aerospace attitude control hydraulic valves or electric thrust reversers.
