Description

Height leveling function control method and system for civil aircraft autopilot
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to an aircraft control system, in particular to a method and a system for controlling a height leveling function of a civil aircraft autopilot.
Background
Modern civil aircraft are not only designed for high safety, but also for higher comfort for passengers, thereby improving market competitiveness in aircraft operation. The comfort of the airplane is closely related to the overload in the flying process, the overload is the ratio of lift force to weight, when the overload is 1g, the airplane is in the most comfortable state, when the airplane changes in rolling, pitching or speed, the overload can change correspondingly, and the phenomenon that the overload generates a large sudden change due to the change of the flying state is avoided in the automatic driving process.
The standards for the automatic flight mode are specified in chapter six of AC25.1329-1B, which divides the automatic flight mode into: horizontal mode, vertical mode, multi-axis mode, auto throttle mode. The vertical mode is one of the three-axis controls of autopilot. The vertical mode is mainly used for changing or maintaining the altitude of the airplane, and a pilot can climb or descend the airplane through a vertical speed mode, a track inclination angle mode or an altitude layer changing mode. To avoid unconstrained climb or slide-downs when using the appropriate vertical mode, the height selection controller should be set to the new target height before the vertical mode can be selected.
During ascent or descent, when approaching a target altitude (which may include an altitude set on the FMCP, a limit altitude, or a cruise altitude set in a flight plan), the aircraft may enter a Level Off function (V/S ═ 0m/S) in order to enable a smooth transition to the target altitude, and if there is a Level-Off button on the autopilot control panel, the pilot may manually Level the aircraft. In the GJB 1690-93 universal specification for autopilots for manned aircraft, the autopilot is required to be able to level the aircraft at any flight attitude and to automatically restore the aircraft smoothly to a level straight flight state along a minimum angle, and other control modes should be disconnected during the leveling process, and when the aircraft reaches a level, it should be in an attitude keeping mode or a height keeping mode.
Currently, the altitude leveling function is switched on the Mode Control Panel (MCP) of a civil aircraft by pressing the vertical speed knob "PUSH TO LEVEL OFF" (right panel). Fig. 1 shows such a mode control panel 100.
In view of the important role of autopilot in the current civil airplane telex control law, there is a need for an improved method and system for controlling the height leveling function of a civil airplane autopilot in order to improve the safety of the airplane and to ensure the comfort of passengers in the airplane.

A detailed description of the process of the aircraft overload variation in the vertical speed mode will be described below with reference to fig. 4.
FIG. 2 illustrates a leveling function control module 200 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
The leveling function is switched on when a given height level is approached and if a leveling function triggering condition is met. As shown in fig. 2, the leveling function of the aircraft is controlled and implemented by a leveling function control module 200. The triggering of the leveling function is determined by a leveling on component 202 in the leveling function control module 200. Specifically, the leveling-on assembly 202 calculates the deviation modulus of the current fly height from the given height layer to determine whether the on-height condition is satisfied as follows:
|ΔHgiv|＝|H-Hgiv|，
wherein H represents the current flying height in m; hgivRepresenting a given height level in m.
When the following conditions are satisfied: K.Vz 2-|H-HgivWhen ≧ 0, the control law in the elevator channel switches to a given vertical speed control law, with the gain factor K being 1 (by way of example and not limitation). The turn-on logic details of the leveling turn-on component 202 will be described below with reference to fig. 5.
And switching the control law of the elevator channel under the value, storing the vertical speed at the moment by the leveling function control module 200, and using the vertical speed in the process of calculating track leveling. Stored value V of vertical velocityzoIs labeled by the formula:
Vz(toff/on)＝Vzo， (1)
wherein t isoff/onAnd the current flying time is shown, and the leveling function control module 200 switches the elevator channel control law at the time.

Figure BDA0002823150930000055
The vertical velocity is eventually smoothly reduced to 0 as determined by the leveling function control module 200 through the three processes of the following equation (2).
Figure BDA0002823150930000051
In formula (2):
Figure BDA0002823150930000052
when the vertical speed is equal to 1 and is positive, the airplane climbs; equal to-1 the vertical velocity is negative and the aircraft descends. When the current mode is the vertical velocity mode,
Figure BDA0002823150930000053
the vertical speed selected for the driver on the control panel is, when the current mode is the other vertical mode,
Figure BDA0002823150930000054
the vertical speed before switching on for the leveling function; v1The constant value can be obtained through simulation tests according to design targets or airplane characteristics, and the value can be corrected through test flight data and used as a first speed threshold value.
Wherein: 1) parameter K1For smooth logout of stored vertical velocity VzoAnd as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the parameter may be set to any value that meets the requirements, and is not limited to any particular value;
2) first and second equations for calculating a given flying vertical velocity in calculating a vertical velocity absolute greater than V1m/s or V1m/s and at the same time greater than a first height deviation threshold H at a given deviation from the height level0m is used for working. By way of example and not limitation, V is selected via a tune parameter analysis11.5 and as can be understood by those skilled in the art, H0m is not limited to any particular value and may be set on its own according to particular specifications or requirements; and
3) the third formula for calculating the given flying vertical velocity is equal to or less than H at a given deviation from the height level0m is used for working.
Additional details of these three processes will be described below with reference to fig. 4. After the leveling function control module 200 completes the altitude leveling function, the aircraft enters the altitude hold mode.
In embodiments of the present invention, the vertical mode used for the height leveling function generally comprises: a vertical velocity mode and a height level change mode. In one embodiment of the invention, the advantages of the turn-on logic and flow of the leveling function are illustrated in a vertical speed mode (by way of example and not limitation). Providing and stabilizing a given vertical speed value by an autopilot elevator shaft in a vertical speed modeIn the dynamic throttle on-speed/mach mode, a predetermined meter speed is maintained, the vertical speed starts to decrease when the "Level Off" function is turned on, and the vertical speed mode is turned Off and the altitude mode is turned on when the target altitude is reached. By way of example and not limitation, the trim height may be 5950m, and the deviation for a given height may be 1000m, i.e.
Figure BDA0002823150930000063
The target height is 6950 m. The simulation was performed given a vertical velocity of 15m/s, and the simulation results are shown in fig. 3 to 5 below. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, any other vertical velocity may be used for the simulation without departing from the scope of the invention.
The aircraft altitude change before and after the leveling control in the present invention is engaged is shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 3 illustrates an altitude change process 300. By way of example and not limitation, the dashed line is a given height of soil 10m, 10m being the height-preserving precision value. The straight line is the given height value command and the curve is the actual height value output. It can be seen that upon reaching the target height, via the leveling control function according to various embodiments of the present invention, the height smoothly transitions to the target height value without overshoot, with the final height remaining within the required accuracy range. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in other embodiments of the invention, other precision values other than 10m may be used without departing from the scope of the invention.
Fig. 4 illustrates a vertical velocity variation process 400 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 4, by way of example and not limitation, 1 is the vertical speed given by the autopilot control panel of 15m/s and 2 is the actual vertical speed. 3. 4, 5 are working processes after the leveling function is switched on. Specifically, in phase 3, the first function in the leveling control law (2) is used, i.e., for
Figure BDA0002823150930000061
And is
Figure BDA0002823150930000062
To determine for the leveling functionA first given vertical velocity, which is a non-linear process, that is smoothly reduced by the first formula in equation (2); in stage 4, the second function of equation (2) is used, i.e., for
Figure BDA0002823150930000071
And is
Figure BDA0002823150930000072
To determine a second given vertical velocity for the leveling function, which causes the vertical velocity reduction process to undergo a short stagnation, thereby causing the aircraft to continue flying while maintaining a smaller vertical velocity; in phase 5, the third function in equation (2) is used, i.e. for | Δ Hgiv|≤H0m，
Figure BDA0002823150930000073
A third given vertical velocity for the leveling function is determined so as to gradually decrease the vertical velocity, and when the vertical velocity is less than the second velocity threshold and the altitude deviation modulus is less than the second altitude deviation threshold, the aircraft enters an altitude hold mode, the vertical velocity approaches 0, and the altitude leveling process of the aircraft is ended.
FIG. 5 illustrates a variation of aircraft overload in vertical velocity mode according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, in a) and b), the range between the upper and lower broken lines is the accuracy range of the overload control, and the overload is 1 in g, which is 9.8m/s, when the aircraft is level-off after trim2. By way of example and not limitation, if the maximum overload variation | Δ Nz | -is set to 0.15, the overload control range is 0.85 to 1.15, as shown by two dotted lines; the straight line is the limit control range of automatic driving overload, if the overload exceeds the straight line, the control requirement of automatic driving can not be met, and passengers can feel great discomfort; the black curve is the overload command calculated by the autopilot control law and the gray curve is the actual overload response. By way of example and not limitation, in FIG. 5 a), b) are each V 13 and V1Overload curve when 1.5, it can be seen that when V1When 3, the command overload is cut at speedThe variation rate is extremely high and the variation is also large, and the design parameter V is compared1The overload variation is small when the overload variation is 1.5, the change rate is slow, the control is in the required precision range, and the transition process is stable. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, other accuracy ranges, control ranges, and vertical velocities may be used to perform the aircraft overload simulation in the vertical velocity mode without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 6 illustrates turn-on logic 600 of the leveling turn-on component 202 of fig. 2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, when the turn-on logic of the leveling function is satisfied, the leveling function will turn on immediately and gradually reduce the given vertical speed to zero in three stages according to the three functions given by equation (2) above.
The input signals required for the leveling function logic trigger include: the logic signals for the current vertical speed, the current altitude, the given altitude, and the vertical mode turn on include a vertical speed mode switch, an altitude floor change mode switch, or a manually turned on leveling switch.
The specific implementation of the turn-on logic of the leveling function is as follows:
1 is the height condition requirement when switching on, and the height condition of switching on is as follows: K.Vz 2-|H-HgivI ≧ 0, i.e., the square of the current vertical velocity multiplied by a gain K, minus the absolute value of the difference between the current altitude and the given altitude is greater than or equal to 0. A mode switch signal condition of on, the mode switch signal condition including a vertical speed mode switch signal and a height layer change mode switch signal, and a judgment logic of whether the condition is satisfied is that the condition of 2 is satisfied as long as one of the two switch signals is on; 3 is a logic ' AND ' (sum) ' judgment module, namely 1 AND 2 are required to be met simultaneously, AND the output can be ' true '; and 4, a judgment module with logic 'OR', namely one of the input signals is true, and the output signal can be true. That is, true if the conditions of 1 and 2 are simultaneously met or a manual level-shift switch signal is received; a signal latch 5, which latches the signal at this moment when the input is true, the purpose of the latch being to not allow the halfway to be broken once the on condition is met,and 6, namely the output logic signal for switching on the height leveling function is obtained until the leveling process is finished, wherein the signal is '1' to indicate switching on, and '0' to indicate not switching on.
Fig. 7 shows a leveling function implementation flow of the leveling function control module according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The flow begins at block 702 where the current altitude, given altitude, vertical speed, and mode of engagement of the aircraft are taken and provided as input to block 704. At block 704, a determination is made whether the leveling function access condition is satisfied. If so, the height leveling function is entered at block 706 and the vertical velocity V at that moment is stored at block 708zoAnd is used as an input in calculating trajectory flattening (i.e., using the first formula in equation (2) above to calculate the first given vertical velocity Vzgiv _ LO 1).
Flow then continues to decision block 710 where a determination is made whether the given deviation from the height layer is greater than a first height deviation threshold H0And m is selected. If so, then proceed to decision block 712, where a determination is made as to whether the absolute value of the vertical velocity is greater than a first velocity threshold V1. If it is determined at block 712 that the absolute value of the vertical velocity is greater than V1Flow continues to block 714 where the instruction specifies a given vertical velocity, determined by the first function in equation (2), to be Vzgiv _ LO1
Figure BDA0002823150930000084
And is
Figure BDA0002823150930000085
So that the vertical speed is smoothly reduced. If it is determined at block 712 that the absolute value of the vertical velocity is not greater than V1, flow continues to block 716 where the instruction specifies that the given vertical velocity is Vzgiv _ LO2, which is determined by the second function in equation (2), i.e., for
Figure BDA0002823150930000081
And is
Figure BDA0002823150930000082
So that the vertical speed reduction process is short-livedAnd the aircraft is stopped, so that the aircraft can keep flying at a lower vertical speed. If the determination at block 710 is negative, flow continues to block 718 where the instruction specifies a given vertical velocity Vzgiv _ LO3, which is determined by the third function in equation (2), i.e., for | Δ Hgiv|≤H0m，
Figure BDA0002823150930000083
Thereby gradually reducing the vertical velocity to 0. In one embodiment of the invention, after the processing at block 714 is completed, the operations at blocks 716 and 718 are then completed in order to implement the leveling function (i.e., blocks 714, 716, 718 correspond to the three phase processes 3, 4, 5 shown in FIG. 4, respectively). Upon completion of the operations at block 718, flow proceeds to decision block 720 where a determination is made as to whether the absolute value of the vertical speed is less than a second speed threshold V2And the height deviation modulus is less than a second height deviation threshold value H1And m is selected. If the absolute value of the vertical velocity is less than V2And a height deviation modulus of less than H1m, then altitude hold mode is entered at block 722 until the vertical velocity of the aircraft is reduced to 0 and the altitude leveling process ends. If the conditions in block 720 are not met, the operations in block 718 continue until the conditions in block 720 are met. As can be appreciated by those skilled in the art, V2And H1The value of m is not limited to a particular value, but V may be set according to a particular specification or need2And H1The value of m is such that the vertical velocity and height deviation modulus can be gradually reduced by performing the operations in block 718 until the conditions in block 720 are met. .

The functions/acts noted in the blocks may occur out of the order noted in any flowchart. For example, two blocks shown in succession may be executed substantially concurrently or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality/acts involved.
