The invention discloses a method and a device for measuring the motion idle
stroke and the overall flexibility of a
flapping-wing aircraft mechanism, and relates to the field of miniature aircrafts, and the method comprises the steps: loading an aircraft wing rod on a high-speed camera measurement platform, and recording an image of the wing rod in a motion period; after the recorded image is optimized and denoised, an
optical flow method is used for capturing a moving wing rod, a sub-pixel
edge detection method is used for recognizing a
gray level image of wing rod movement, then the edge is optimized and corrected based on the geometrical characteristics of the wing rod, and edge calibration is carried out on the
gray level image of wing rod movement; then, the
angular displacement of the wing rod is recognized according to the wing rod motion
gray level image after coordinate calibration is completed, meanwhile, the distribution load of the wing rod is reconstructed, and inversion is conducted on the
bending moment of the wing rod through recognized coordinate information and a
Tikhonov regularization method; and finally, drawing an
angular displacement-
bending moment curve graph of the wing rod and extracting the idle
stroke and the overall flexibility of the aircraft. According to the method, the motion idle
stroke and the overall flexibility of the mechanism on the
flapping-wing air vehicle are effectively extracted with high precision, and the method has great guiding significance in design, test and function research of the
flapping-wing air vehicle.
