基于极坐标映射的共轴双旋翼直升机桨叶扭转角测量方法

    Measurement method of blade twist angle for coaxial twin-rotor helicopter based on polar coordinate mapping

    • 摘要: 桨叶扭转角是表征直升机旋翼气动性能和结构状态的重要参数。针对传统测量方法中视场边缘方位重建误差易通过全局拟合向其他方位扩散,导致测量一致性下降的问题,提出了一种基于极坐标映射的共轴双旋翼直升机桨叶扭转角测量方法。首先,在低速拉平状态下为每个旋转方位单独拟合局部基准平面并建立极坐标系,使各方位测量相互独立,避免边缘误差向其他方位扩散;其次,为解决局部基准平面下传统夹角法对挥舞引起的标记点非共面的问题,在高速旋转条件下将标记点正交投影至对应局部平面,通过投影点极角变化量提取扭转角。实验结果表明:该方法在动态测量条件下各方位的平均绝对误差小于0.14°,标准差小于0.13°,相较于传统测量方法,测量一致性与精度得到了提升,为共轴双旋翼直升机性能评价和结构优化提供了可靠的技术手段。

       

      Abstract: Blade twist angle is an important parameter characterizing aerodynamic performance and structural status of helicopter rotors. To address the problem that reconstruction errors at azimuths near the field-of-view boundary tend to spread to other azimuths through global fitting, thereby degrading measurement consistency in conventional methods, a polar-coordinate-mapping-based method was proposed for measuring blade twist angle of coaxial dual-rotor helicopter. First, under a low-speed flattened condition, a local reference plane was independently fitted for each rotational azimuth and a polar coordinate system was established, making measurements at different azimuths mutually independent and preventing edge-azimuth errors from spreading to other azimuths. Second, to cope with flapping-induced marker non-coplanarity under local reference-plane framework, marker points were orthogonally projected onto their corresponding local planes under high-speed rotation, and twist angle was extracted from the change in polar angle of projected points. Experimental results showed that, under dynamic measurement conditions, the mean absolute error across azimuths is less than 0.14°, the standard deviation is less than 0.13°. Compared with conventional methods, both measurement consistency and accuracy were improved, providing a reliable technical means for performance evaluation and structural optimization of coaxial dual-rotor helicopters.
