Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dynamic balancing testing technology, specifically a tandem helicopter dynamic balancing test sensor fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In helicopter reliability testing, dynamic balancing is a crucial step. Its main purpose is to reduce vibration problems caused by uneven mass distribution between the rotor hub and blades and differences in trajectory altitude in the rotor system, thereby reducing structural fatigue and extending the service life of the helicopter.
[0003] In traditional dynamic balancing tests, vibration sensors and photoelectric tachometers are typically mounted on the helicopter fuselage, ensuring the photoelectric tachometer is aligned with reflective tape affixed to the rotor blades. However, due to the varying rotor system structures of different aircraft models, the sensor mounting methods must also vary, introducing numerous inconveniences to the testing. Existing sensor mounting methods primarily rely on securing them with tape or tightening them with screws and nuts to the fuselage structure, which have significant limitations. For example, they cannot flexibly adjust the angle and position of the photoelectric tachometer, making it difficult to meet precise alignment requirements when dealing with special structures or extreme conditions (such as large rotor blades). Furthermore, using tape to secure sensors carries the risk of loosening, which not only increases test errors but may also lead to safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a tandem helicopter dynamic balance test sensor fixture. Utility Model Content

The longitudinal adjustment mechanism includes a longitudinal control motor mounted on the side of the base, and a longitudinal lead screw connected to the output end of the longitudinal control motor. A vibration sensor mounting platform is provided on the longitudinal lead screw, and a threaded seat is provided at the bottom of the vibration sensor mounting platform. The threaded seat is threadedly connected to the longitudinal lead screw. A vibration sensor mounting area is provided on the vibration sensor mounting platform. Side plates are provided on both sides of the vibration sensor mounting platform, and a lateral adjustment mechanism is provided between the side plates. The lateral adjustment mechanism includes a lateral control motor mounted on the side plate, and a lateral lead screw connected to the output end of the lateral control motor.

A vertical control motor is mounted on the top of the lateral adjustment seat, and a vertical lead screw is connected to the output end of the vertical control motor. A vertical adjustment seat is threadedly connected to the vertical lead screw, and a photoelectric tachometer mounting block is mounted on the vertical adjustment seat. The photoelectric tachometer mounting block is used to mount the photoelectric tachometer.
