Further, the connecting rod 601 is screwed with the lifting lug 12, and the upper end of the connecting rod 601 is rotatably connected with the eccentric shaft 13 through the lifting lug 12.

The second ventilation hole 608 is in communication with the atmosphere, and when the air source 16 inflates and pressurizes the first cavity 603 through the first ventilation hole 606, the piston 607 moves downward, and the connecting rod 601 moves downward, thereby driving the eccentric shaft 13 (crank) to rotate counterclockwise.
When the second vent hole 608 is connected to the line connected to the pressure reducing valve 15, the pressure reducing valve 15 is connected to the air source 16. When the air source 16 charges air to the second cavity 604 through the second vent hole 608, the piston 607 moves upward, and the connecting rod 601 moves upward, thereby driving the eccentric shaft 13 (crank) to rotate clockwise.

The implementation process comprises the following steps:
the counter-steering load simulator is a crank slide block mechanism, a piston rod is a slide block and moves linearly, a connecting rod 601, a lifting lug 12 and an eccentric shaft 13 jointly form a rocker, the length L of the rocker is the distance from a piston 607 to the axis of the eccentric shaft 13, a crank is formed between the eccentric shaft 13 and a switching shaft, the length H of the crank is the distance from the axis of the eccentric shaft 13 to the axis of an output shaft 2 of the servo mechanism 1, namely the length of the crank is the eccentric distance between the eccentric shaft 13 and the output shaft 2.
When the piston 607 moves linearly under the action of air pressure, the connecting rod 601 and the lifting lug 12 are driven to perform combined linear and rotary movement. When the lifting lug 12 is connected with the eccentric shaft 13 through the knuckle bearing 17 and drives the eccentric shaft 13 to perform centrifugal motion (the eccentric shaft 13 rotates around the axis of the output shaft 2), the anti-steering torque applied to the eccentric shaft 13 by the anti-steering load simulator is transmitted to the servo mechanism through the adapter shaft assembly and the torque sensor to apply anti-steering load.
The principle of operation of the counter-steering load simulator is shown in fig. 4:
when the servo mechanism 1 is in a zero position, the crank coincides with the connecting rod, and the counter-steering load simulator does not generate counter-steering moment.
When the output shaft 2 of the servo mechanism 1 deflects, the output shaft 2 drives the eccentric shaft 13 to deflect through the switching shaft assembly, the crank and the connecting rod form an included angle with a certain angle, at the moment, the connecting rod 601 is driven to output displacement through the air cylinder assembly 6, the connecting rod 601 drives the eccentric shaft 13 to deflect further, the eccentric shaft 13 applies torque to the output shaft 2 of the servo mechanism 1 reversely, and the air cylinder assembly 6 operates the reverse operation load simulator to generate loading moment with the same movement direction as the output shaft 2 of the servo mechanism 1, namely the reverse operation moment.
Since the deflection angle of the servo 1 does not exceed 30 ° and the rocker length L is much greater than the length H of the crank, the counter-steering torque gradient does not vary with angle over this angle range. Different loading gradients are achieved by adjusting the displacement of the gas pressure regulating piston 607 and the connecting rod 601 into the cylinder assembly 6.
When the cylinder assembly 6 outputs displacement, the connecting rod 601 applies a counter-operating moment to the eccentric shaft 13 through the lifting lug 12 and the knuckle bearing 17, the counter-operating moment received by the eccentric shaft 13 is reversely transmitted to the servo mechanism 1 through the adapter shaft assembly, and the magnitude of the counter-operating moment is monitored in real time through the torque sensor 9.
Example 2
In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for simulating a reverse steering load is provided, wherein the method for simulating a reverse steering load by using the pneumatic reverse steering load simulator in embodiment 1 includes the following steps:
Step S1, a servo mechanism 1 drives an output shaft 2 to rotate, and the output shaft 2 drives an eccentric shaft 13 to rotate through a switching shaft assembly;
Step S2, inflating the cylinder assembly 6 through the air source 16, and enabling the connecting rod 601 to move in a telescopic mode;
Step S3, the connecting rod 601 drives the eccentric shaft 13 to rotate, and the torque direction applied to the eccentric shaft 13 by the connecting rod 601 is the same as the rotation direction of the output shaft 2, so that the counter-steering load is simulated.
In step S2, the air source 16 charges air into the air cylinder assembly 6 through the first air vent 606 or the second air vent 608, and controls the telescopic movement of the connecting rod 601;
In particular, the method comprises the steps of,
When the air source 16 is in communication with the first vent 606:
The air source 16 charges air into the first cavity 603 through the first vent hole 606, the second vent hole 608 serves as an air outlet, the volume of the first cavity 603 is increased, the volume of the second cavity 604 is reduced, and the piston 607 is pushed to move downwards.
When the air source 16 is in communication with the second vent 608:
The air source 16 charges air into the second cavity 604 through the second ventilation hole 608, the first ventilation hole 606 serves as an air outlet, the volume of the second cavity 604 is increased, the volume of the first cavity 603 is reduced, and the piston 607 is pushed upwards.
In the step S3, the connecting rod 601, the eccentric shaft 13 and the first adapter shaft 3 form a crank block structure, as shown in fig. 4.
Specifically, when the connecting rod 601 moves up and down, the eccentric shaft 13 can be driven to rotate around the first switching shaft 3 through the lifting lug 12, the servo mechanism 1 outputs torque through the output shaft 2 to drive the eccentric shaft 13 to rotate, the torque applied to the eccentric shaft 13 by the connecting rod 601 through the lifting lug 12 is in the same direction as the torque of the output shaft 2, and the anti-steering load applied to the aircraft in the flight state is simulated.
It is noted that when the link 601 moves up and down to drive the eccentric shaft 13 to rotate, the link 601 deflects with the center of the ball 605 as the rotation center.
Compared with the prior art, the counter-steering load simulator provided by the embodiment outputs linear displacement through the cylinder assembly 6, forms a crank block mechanism through the connecting rod 601, the lifting lug 12, the eccentric shaft 13 and the first adapter shaft 3, realizes the rotation driving of the eccentric shaft 13 through the up-and-down motion of the connecting rod 601, and is used for simulating counter-steering load applied to an aircraft through the counter-steering torque applied to the eccentric shaft 13 by the cylinder assembly 6 through the connecting rod 601.
The counter-steering load simulator of the invention can regulate the variation increment of the counter-steering load and the magnitude of the counter-steering load by controlling the displacement speed and the displacement amount of the piston 607, and can regulate the step increment of the counter-steering load, namely the magnitude of the counter-steering torque received by the eccentric shaft 13 corresponding to the unit displacement increment output by the connecting rod 601 by changing the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft 13 (the distance between the axis of the eccentric shaft 13 and the axis of the output shaft 2).
The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
