Description
本发明涉及一种过冷大水滴探测器,具体而言,涉及一种具有(例如球形)探测结构的过冷大水滴探测器,用于识别并区分过冷大水滴结冰气象,属于结冰探测领域。The present invention relates to a supercooled large water drop detector, in particular to a supercooled large water drop detector with a (for example, spherical) detection structure, which is used to identify and distinguish supercooled large water drop freezing weather and belongs to the field of ice detection.
航空行业对结冰气象存在严格的要求,这是因为结冰气象会危及飞机的安全,可能给飞机带来严重的飞行风险。The aviation industry has strict requirements on icing weather because icing weather can endanger the safety of aircraft and may pose serious flight risks to aircraft.
结冰气象又包括50微米以下的过冷水滴结冰气象(即中国民航规章25部附录C)和超过50微米的过冷大水滴结冰气象(中华人民共和国民用航空器适航管理条例附录0)。而传统的结冰探测器可用于对结冰气象识别,但无法进一步区分究竟是过冷水滴结冰气象还是过冷大水滴结冰气象。Icing weather includes supercooled water droplets below 50 microns (Appendix C of Part 25 of the Civil Aviation Regulations of China) and supercooled large water droplets over 50 microns (Appendix 0 of the Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China). Traditional icing detectors can be used to identify icing weather, but they cannot further distinguish whether it is supercooled water droplets or supercooled large water droplets.
通常的飞机防冰系统是基于不到50微米的结冰气象设计的,因此,当飞机进入过冷水滴超过50微米的过冷大水滴结冰气象后,因防冰能力不足以覆盖此种结冰气象,可能发生飞机快速结冰进而失速坠毁的安全事件。Conventional aircraft anti-icing systems are designed based on icing weather conditions with a particle size of less than 50 microns. Therefore, when an aircraft enters an icing weather condition with supercooled large droplets exceeding 50 microns, the anti-icing capability is insufficient to cover this type of icing weather, and the aircraft may freeze rapidly and then stall and crash, which is a safety incident.
当前针对过冷大水滴结冰气象的一种可行的方案是一旦探测器识别到进入过冷大水滴结冰气象,立即执行逃离动作。为此,研发一种能够准确且可靠地识别并区分过冷大水滴结冰气象的探测器显得至关重要。At present, a feasible solution for supercooled large water droplet icing weather is to immediately execute an escape action once the detector recognizes that it has entered supercooled large water droplet icing weather. To this end, it is very important to develop a detector that can accurately and reliably identify and distinguish supercooled large water droplet icing weather.
发明内容Summary of the invention
本发明为解决上述技术问题而作,其目的在于提供一种过冷大 水滴探测器,更具体的是具有(例如球形)探测结构的过冷大水滴探测器,能够准确且可靠地识别并区分过冷大水滴结冰气象。The present invention is made to solve the above technical problems, and its purpose is to provide a supercooled A water drop detector, more specifically a supercooled large water drop detector having a (eg spherical) detection structure, can accurately and reliably identify and distinguish supercooled large water drop icing weather.
为了实现上述目的,本发明提供一种过冷大水滴探测器,包括探测器基座和探测结构,其特征是,所述探测结构用于检测气流中的过冷水滴并且用于识别并从结冰气象中区分出所述过冷水滴超过临界尺寸的过冷大水滴的结冰气象,所述探测结构包括三层结构,外层为均匀布置的温度传感器层,中间层为电加热膜层,内层为结构基底,均匀布置于所述探测结构的中间层的所述电加热膜层通过位于多个不同位置处的多个电加热回路来提供加热能量,使得所述探测结构的表面在没有外来气流和水滴影响时保持为均匀的温度,均匀布置于所述电加热膜层的外层的所述温度传感器层具有用于实时检测所述探测结构的所述多个不同位置的表面温度变化的多个温度传感器,在所述结构基底中设置有控制器,所述控制器通过过冷水滴撞击所述探测结构所引起的所述多个不同位置的温度变化来推断出所述过冷水滴的撞击范围,并通过判断所述撞击范围是否超出所述临界尺寸的过冷水滴撞击所述探测结构时的临界撞击范围,来确定先前撞击的过冷水滴是否为所述过冷大水滴。In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a supercooled large water droplet detector, including a detector base and a detection structure, wherein the detection structure is used to detect supercooled water droplets in the airflow and to identify and distinguish from icing weather the icing weather in which the supercooled water droplets exceed a critical size of supercooled large water droplets, and the detection structure includes a three-layer structure, an outer layer is a uniformly arranged temperature sensor layer, a middle layer is an electric heating film layer, and an inner layer is a structural base, and the electric heating film layer uniformly arranged in the middle layer of the detection structure provides heating energy through a plurality of electric heating circuits located at a plurality of different positions, so that the surface of the detection structure is free from external The temperature is kept uniform when impacted by airflow and water droplets. The temperature sensor layer uniformly arranged on the outer layer of the electric heating film layer has multiple temperature sensors for real-time detection of surface temperature changes at multiple different positions of the detection structure. A controller is arranged in the base of the structure. The controller infers the impact range of the supercooled water droplets through the temperature changes at the multiple different positions caused by the supercooled water droplets impacting the detection structure, and determines whether the previously impacted supercooled water droplets are the supercooled large water droplets by judging whether the impact range exceeds the critical impact range when the supercooled water droplets of the critical size impact the detection structure.
根据如上所述构成,通过气流中不同尺寸的过冷水滴撞击过冷大水滴探测器的检测结构时,由过冷水滴引起的检测结构的温度变化的位置范围来量化过冷水滴的尺寸,解决了传统的结冰探测器只能用于对结冰气象识别,但无法进一步区分究竟是过冷水滴结冰气象还是过冷大水滴结冰气象的技术问题,通过准确且可靠地识别并区分过冷大水滴结冰气象,能防止因防冰能力不足导致飞机快速结冰进而失速坠毁的安全事件,从而提升了飞机的安全性和适航性。According to the structure as described above, when supercooled water droplets of different sizes in the airflow hit the detection structure of the supercooled large water droplet detector, the size of the supercooled water droplets is quantified by the position range of the temperature change of the detection structure caused by the supercooled water droplets, thereby solving the technical problem that traditional icing detectors can only be used to identify icing weather but cannot further distinguish whether it is supercooled water droplet icing weather or supercooled large water droplet icing weather. By accurately and reliably identifying and distinguishing supercooled large water droplet icing weather, safety incidents such as rapid freezing of the aircraft and subsequent stall and crash due to insufficient anti-icing capability can be prevented, thereby improving the safety and airworthiness of the aircraft.
在本发明中,所述探测结构优选呈球形,这是由于球体以任意的方向及角度与气流发生撞击,气流相对于所述探测结构的第一滞止点(临界尺寸的过冷水滴的临界撞击范围)及最大滞止点(过冷水滴 的最大撞击范围)的相对位置(即,第一区域和第二区域的撞击区域的最大弧长)不会变化。另外,在过冷水滴撞击所述探测结构时,所述临界尺寸以下的过冷水滴只撞击所述气流的第一滞止点之间的第一区域,而超过所述临界尺寸的过冷大水滴在撞击所述第一区域的同时撞击所述气流的最大滞止点之间的第二区域。另外,考虑到飞机、尤其是民航飞机具有最大升角和俯角,不可能机头90度朝上地垂直升空,也不可能机头90度朝下地垂直坠落,因此,只要保证在飞机的最大升角与俯角之间的飞行范围内,气流相对于所述探测结构的第一滞止点及最大滞止点的相对位置不会变化,则探测结构不局限于严格意义上的球形,也可以是气流撞击区域为球形的实质球形。此时,理想的是将与管道相连的部分(气流非撞击区域)形成为适于使空气低阻力流过的流线形。In the present invention, the detection structure is preferably spherical. This is because the sphere collides with the airflow in any direction and angle, and the airflow is relatively stable relative to the first stagnation point (critical impact range of supercooled water droplets of critical size) and the maximum stagnation point (supercooled water droplet) of the detection structure. In addition, when supercooled water droplets impact the detection structure, supercooled water droplets below the critical size only impact the first area between the first stagnation points of the airflow, while supercooled large water droplets exceeding the critical size impact the second area between the maximum stagnation points of the airflow while impacting the first area. In addition, considering that aircraft, especially civil aircraft, have maximum lift and pitch angles, it is impossible for the nose to rise vertically with 90 degrees upward, nor is it possible for the nose to fall vertically with 90 degrees downward. Therefore, as long as it is ensured that the relative position of the airflow relative to the first stagnation point and the maximum stagnation point of the detection structure does not change within the flight range between the maximum lift and pitch angles of the aircraft, the detection structure is not limited to a sphere in the strict sense, but may also be a substantially spherical shape with a spherical airflow impact area. At this time, it is ideal to form the portion connected to the pipe (airflow non-impact area) into a streamlined shape suitable for air to flow through with low resistance.

受限于目前的技术水平,结冰气象中,在某一临界尺寸(50微米)以下的过冷水滴结冰气象能通过飞机防冰系统防止结冰,而超过该临界尺寸的过冷大水滴结冰气象则只能立即执行逃离动作,但不排除随着未来技术的发展,在当前只能立即执行逃离动作的过冷大水滴结冰气象中,对于过冷水滴为另一临界尺寸以下的结冰气象,可采用其他动作而不再只是立即执行逃离动作,此时,可以将另一临界尺寸视作本发明的临界尺寸来识别并区分只能执行逃离动作的区域,又或是将50微米的临界尺寸和该另一临界尺寸同时视作本发明的临界尺 寸来识别并区分执行第一动作的第一区域、执行第二动作的第二区域和执行第三动作(逃离动作)的第三区域。由此,所述结冰气象具有多个不同临界尺寸的过冷水滴的结冰气象,所述过冷大水滴探测器能探测出撞击所述探测结构的过冷水滴的尺寸范围,来确定当前所处的结冰气象。Limited by the current technical level, in icing weather, supercooled water droplets below a certain critical size (50 microns) can be prevented from freezing by the aircraft anti-icing system, while supercooled large water droplets exceeding the critical size can only be immediately escaped. However, it is not ruled out that with the development of future technology, in the current supercooled large water droplets icing weather where only escape can be performed immediately, for icing weather where supercooled water droplets are below another critical size, other actions can be taken instead of just immediately executing the escape action. At this time, the other critical size can be regarded as the critical size of the present invention to identify and distinguish the area where only escape can be performed, or the critical size of 50 microns and the other critical size can be regarded as the critical size of the present invention at the same time. The first area for performing the first action, the second area for performing the second action, and the third area for performing the third action (escape action) are identified and distinguished by the detection structure. Thus, the icing weather has icing weather with multiple supercooled water droplets of different critical sizes, and the supercooled large water droplet detector can detect the size range of the supercooled water droplets that hit the detection structure to determine the current icing weather.

以下,参照图1至图4,对本发明的过冷大水滴探测器100的结构进行详细说明,其中,图1是本发明一实施方式的用于对过冷大水滴结冰气象进行探测(识别并区分)的过冷大水滴探测器100的示意结构图,图2是图1所示的过冷大水滴探测器100的(例如球形)探测结构300的剖视图。另外,图3和图4是在本发明的过冷大水滴探测器的探测结构300中的两种形态下的电加热回路321及温度传感器311的布局图,图3是作为第一形态的螺旋形布局,而图4是作为第二形态的回字形布局。Hereinafter, the structure of the supercooled large water drop detector 100 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 , wherein FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a supercooled large water drop detector 100 for detecting (identifying and distinguishing) supercooled large water drop icing weather according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a (e.g., spherical) detection structure 300 of the supercooled large water drop detector 100 shown in FIG. 1 . In addition, FIGS. 3 and 4 are layout diagrams of an electric heating circuit 321 and a temperature sensor 311 in two forms in the detection structure 300 of the supercooled large water drop detector of the present invention, wherein FIG. 3 is a spiral layout as a first form, and FIG. 4 is a U-shaped layout as a second form.
如图1所示,本发明的过冷大水滴探测器100包括探测器基座200、探测结构300以及将所述探测器基座200与所述探测结构300连接的管道400。As shown in FIG. 1 , the supercooled large water droplet detector 100 of the present invention includes a detector base 200 , a detection structure 300 , and a pipe 400 connecting the detector base 200 and the detection structure 300 .
所述探测器基座200安装于未图示的飞机蒙皮内部并与机体结 构相连,用于为本发明的过冷大水滴探测器100提供支撑。另外,在本发明中,将控制器500布置于该基座200内。The detector base 200 is installed inside the aircraft skin (not shown) and is connected to the aircraft body. The base 200 is connected to the controller 500 to provide support for the supercooled large water drop detector 100 of the present invention. In addition, in the present invention, the controller 500 is arranged in the base 200.
所述探测结构300用于检测气流中的过冷水滴并且用于识别并从结冰气象中区分出过冷水滴超过50微米的过冷大水滴结冰气象。如图2所示,所述探测结构300例如呈球形,其包括三层结构,外层为均匀布置的温度传感器层310,中间层为均匀布置的电加热膜层320,内层为(例如球形)结构基底330,通过将中间层的电加热膜结构320和外层的温度传感器310在内层的结构基底330上依此均匀布置来实现过冷水滴的探测功能。The detection structure 300 is used to detect supercooled water droplets in the airflow and to identify and distinguish supercooled large water droplet icing weather with supercooled water droplets exceeding 50 microns from icing weather. As shown in FIG2 , the detection structure 300 is, for example, spherical, and includes a three-layer structure, an outer layer is a uniformly arranged temperature sensor layer 310, a middle layer is a uniformly arranged electric heating film layer 320, and an inner layer is a (for example, spherical) structural base 330, and the detection function of supercooled water droplets is realized by uniformly arranging the electric heating film structure 320 of the middle layer and the temperature sensor 310 of the outer layer on the structural base 330 of the inner layer.
均匀布置于电加热膜层320的外层的温度传感器层310具有用于实时检测所述探测结构300的多个位置(不同位置)的表面温度变化的多个温度传感器311,并通过温度传感器线缆312将温度检测值或温度变化值传输至控制器500进行分析。The temperature sensor layer 310 uniformly arranged on the outer layer of the electric heating film layer 320 has multiple temperature sensors 311 for real-time detection of surface temperature changes at multiple positions (different positions) of the detection structure 300, and transmits the temperature detection value or temperature change value to the controller 500 for analysis through the temperature sensor cable 312.
均匀布置于结构基底330的中间层的电加热膜层320通过利用通电线缆322连接而成的多个电加热回路321来提供加热能量,使得所述探测结构300表面在没有外来气流和水滴影响时保持为均匀的温度。此处,应当注意,电加热膜层320在使用过程中应保持温度的稳定性,并且应当具有一定的可调节温度范围,例如100~130℃。为了能够提供均匀的加热功率,电加热膜层320中对应于不同位置的每个电加热回路321的布局可采用图3所示的作为第一形态的螺旋形布局(即,每个电加热回路321呈螺旋形布置)或是图4所示的作为第二形态的回字形布局(即,每个电加热回路321呈回字形布置),另外,为了保证外层的温度传感器311的测量一致性,温度传感器311的测量位置统一布置在电加热膜层320的每个电加热回路321的回字形或螺旋形的正中心。The electric heating film layer 320 uniformly arranged on the middle layer of the structural base 330 provides heating energy through a plurality of electric heating loops 321 connected by energized cables 322, so that the surface of the detection structure 300 is kept at a uniform temperature when there is no external airflow and water droplets. Here, it should be noted that the electric heating film layer 320 should maintain temperature stability during use and should have a certain adjustable temperature range, such as 100-130°C. In order to provide uniform heating power, the layout of each electric heating loop 321 corresponding to different positions in the electric heating film layer 320 can adopt a spiral layout as a first form shown in FIG3 (that is, each electric heating loop 321 is arranged in a spiral shape) or a Chinese-shaped layout as a second form shown in FIG4 (that is, each electric heating loop 321 is arranged in a Chinese-shaped shape). In addition, in order to ensure the measurement consistency of the temperature sensor 311 of the outer layer, the measurement position of the temperature sensor 311 is uniformly arranged at the center of the Chinese-shaped or spiral shape of each electric heating loop 321 of the electric heating film layer 320.
内层的结构基底330采用非金属等热的不良导体材料,从而使中间层的电加热膜层320产生的热量以向所述探测结构300的外层侧的导热为主。 The inner structural base 330 is made of non-metal or other poor thermal conductor materials, so that the heat generated by the electric heating film layer 320 of the middle layer is mainly conducted to the outer layer side of the detection structure 300.
所述管道400的一端与所述探测器基座200相连,另一端与所述探测结构300相连,并且所述管道400是空心且弯曲的管道。通过采用空心结构,能使连接在所述探测结构300与探测器基座200(内设置的控制器500)之间的温度传感器311以及电加热回路321的线缆(传感器线缆312、通电线缆322)布置在该管道400内部。另外,通过这种弯曲设计的管道,使得与管道400另一端相连的所述探测结构300基本平行于飞机的气流方向迎着气流,最大限度降低管道400对所述探测结构300的空气流场的影响,以确保气流中的过冷水滴与所述探测结构300的撞击。One end of the pipe 400 is connected to the detector base 200, and the other end is connected to the detection structure 300, and the pipe 400 is a hollow and curved pipe. By adopting a hollow structure, the temperature sensor 311 connected between the detection structure 300 and the detector base 200 (the controller 500 disposed therein) and the cables (sensor cable 312, power cable 322) of the electric heating circuit 321 can be arranged inside the pipe 400. In addition, through this curved pipe design, the detection structure 300 connected to the other end of the pipe 400 is basically parallel to the airflow direction of the aircraft and faces the airflow, which minimizes the influence of the pipe 400 on the air flow field of the detection structure 300, so as to ensure that the supercooled water droplets in the airflow collide with the detection structure 300.
所述控制器500负责为电加热膜层320的电加热回路321提供电流以及收集温度传感器层310的温度传感器311的信号并进行数据处理。在其中使用的温度传感器311应当具有较高的精度,以便于准确判断撞击过冷水滴所引起的多个位置(不同位置)的温度变化,从而推断出过冷水滴的撞击范围。The controller 500 is responsible for providing current to the electric heating circuit 321 of the electric heating film layer 320 and collecting and processing the signals of the temperature sensor 311 of the temperature sensor layer 310. The temperature sensor 311 used therein should have high accuracy so as to accurately determine the temperature changes at multiple locations (different locations) caused by the impact of the supercooled water droplets, thereby inferring the impact range of the supercooled water droplets.
本发明的过冷大水滴探测器100安装于飞机的机头位置,当飞机上电后,该过冷大水滴探测器100即开始工作,通过控制器500向所述探测结构300中间层的电加热膜层320通电,每一个电加热回路321均被提供相同电压和电流,使探测结构300被均匀加热且温度保持在100~130℃之间。The supercooled large water drop detector 100 of the present invention is installed at the nose of the aircraft. When the aircraft is powered on, the supercooled large water drop detector 100 starts to work, and the electric heating film layer 320 of the middle layer of the detection structure 300 is energized through the controller 500. Each electric heating circuit 321 is provided with the same voltage and current, so that the detection structure 300 is evenly heated and the temperature is maintained between 100 and 130°C.
当气流中存在过冷水滴时,过冷水滴会撞击在探测结构300的表面,超过50微米的过冷水滴(过冷大水滴)在探测结构300的表面的撞击极限范围要大于50微米以下的过冷水滴(普通水滴)的撞击范围。同时被撞击区域的热量将被撞击的水滴带走,使得该部分区域(被撞击区域)与非撞击区域的温度产生明显差异。所述控制器500通过对所述探测结构300的表面温度数据进行分析,来确定过冷水滴在所述探测结构300表面的撞击范围(被撞击区域),再通过该撞击范围(被撞击区域)与50微米的过冷大水滴的撞击范围进行比较来判断先前撞击的水滴是否为超过50微米的过冷水滴(过冷大水滴),由此 来识别并区分是否处于(或进入)过冷大水滴结冰气象。When there are supercooled water droplets in the airflow, the supercooled water droplets will impact the surface of the detection structure 300. The impact limit range of supercooled water droplets larger than 50 microns (supercooled large water droplets) on the surface of the detection structure 300 is greater than the impact range of supercooled water droplets (ordinary water droplets) smaller than 50 microns. At the same time, the heat of the impacted area will be taken away by the impacted water droplets, resulting in a significant temperature difference between this area (impacted area) and the non-impacted area. The controller 500 analyzes the surface temperature data of the detection structure 300 to determine the impact range (impacted area) of the supercooled water droplets on the surface of the detection structure 300, and then compares the impact range (impacted area) with the impact range of 50 microns of supercooled large water droplets to determine whether the previously impacted water droplets are supercooled water droplets larger than 50 microns (supercooled large water droplets), thereby To identify and distinguish whether it is in (or entering) supercooled large droplet icing weather.
在图1中,50微米以下的过冷水滴(普通水滴)将只会撞击到第一区域300A,而超过50微米的过冷水滴则会在撞击第一区域300A的同时撞击到第二区域300B,即,第一区域300A与第二区域300B的临界线(即,第一区域300A的最大弧长)为50微米的过冷水滴与探测结构300撞击时的第一滞止点(或者说临界尺寸的过冷水滴的临界撞击范围),而第二区域300B的最大弧长为过冷水滴与探测结构300撞击时的最大滞止点(或者说过冷水滴的最大撞击范围),此时,无论多大的过冷水滴,均不可能与探测结构300的第一区域300A和第二区域300B以外的其他区域发生撞击。当飞行角度变化后,第一区域300A和第二区域300B在所述探测结构300的实际位置会发生变化,但气流相对于所述探测结构300的第一滞止点(临界尺寸的过冷水滴的临界撞击范围)及最大滞止点(过冷水滴的最大撞击范围)的相对位置(即,第一区域300A和第二区域300B的撞击区域的最大弧长)不会变化。当穿云时,若飞行中的过冷水滴的撞击区域增大并超过第一区域300A(即,撞击区域的弧长大于第一区域300A的最大弧长),即可判定为先前撞击的水滴为超过50微米的过冷水滴(过冷大水滴),而当前正处于(或已进入)过冷大水滴结冰气象,相反,若飞行中的过冷水滴的撞击区域未超过第一区域300A(即,撞击区域的弧长小于第一区域300A的最大弧长),则判定先前撞击的水滴并非为过冷大水滴,也未处于(或进入)过冷大水滴结冰气象。In FIG1 , supercooled water droplets (ordinary water droplets) smaller than 50 microns will only hit the first area 300A, while supercooled water droplets larger than 50 microns will hit the second area 300B while hitting the first area 300A. That is, the critical line between the first area 300A and the second area 300B (that is, the maximum arc length of the first area 300A) is the first stagnation point when the supercooled water droplets of 50 microns hit the detection structure 300 (or the critical impact range of the supercooled water droplets of critical size), and the maximum arc length of the second area 300B is the maximum stagnation point when the supercooled water droplets hit the detection structure 300 (or the maximum impact range of the supercooled water droplets). At this time, no matter how large the supercooled water droplets are, it is impossible for them to hit other areas of the detection structure 300 other than the first area 300A and the second area 300B. When the flight angle changes, the actual positions of the first area 300A and the second area 300B in the detection structure 300 will change, but the relative positions of the airflow relative to the first stagnation point (critical impact range of supercooled water droplets of critical size) and the maximum stagnation point (maximum impact range of supercooled water droplets) of the detection structure 300 (i.e., the maximum arc length of the impact area of the first area 300A and the second area 300B) will not change. When passing through clouds, if the impact area of the supercooled water droplets in flight increases and exceeds the first area 300A (i.e., the arc length of the impact area is greater than the maximum arc length of the first area 300A), it can be determined that the previously impacted water droplets are supercooled water droplets larger than 50 microns (supercooled large water droplets), and the current situation is (or has entered) supercooled large water droplet freezing weather. On the contrary, if the impact area of the supercooled water droplets in flight does not exceed the first area 300A (i.e., the arc length of the impact area is less than the maximum arc length of the first area 300A), it is determined that the previously impacted water droplets are not supercooled large water droplets, and are not in (or have entered) supercooled large water droplet freezing weather.
另外,在本发明中,利用例如球形且具有加热功能的探测结构300,并基于气动原理将对过冷水滴的直径的探测(即对过冷大水滴的判断)转化为对温度分布的探测。当球形的探测结构300的直径增大时,超过50微米的过冷水滴(过冷大水滴)区别于50微米以下的过冷水滴(普通水滴)撞击球形的探测结构300的区域(即,第二区域)尺寸变大,由此在相同的探测要求下,无需采用昂贵且灵敏度高的小尺寸的温度传感器,但是,过冷大水滴探测器100是在飞机 上使用,结构紧凑、安装方便仍是要优先予以考虑的因素。In addition, in the present invention, a detection structure 300, for example, which is spherical and has a heating function, is used, and based on the aerodynamic principle, the detection of the diameter of the supercooled water droplets (i.e., the judgment of the supercooled large water droplets) is converted into the detection of the temperature distribution. When the diameter of the spherical detection structure 300 increases, the area (i.e., the second area) where the supercooled water droplets exceeding 50 microns (supercooled large water droplets) hit the spherical detection structure 300 becomes larger than the supercooled water droplets (ordinary water droplets) below 50 microns. Therefore, under the same detection requirements, there is no need to use an expensive and highly sensitive small-sized temperature sensor. However, the supercooled large water droplet detector 100 is used in aircraft. When it comes to use, compact structure and easy installation are still the factors that should be given priority consideration.
在本发明中,(球形的)探测结构300的尺寸并非是定值,但在确定合适的尺寸时主要考虑下面两方面因素的影响:In the present invention, the size of the (spherical) detection structure 300 is not a fixed value, but the following two factors are mainly considered when determining the appropriate size:
(1)一方面,探测结构300的直径越大,则同一尺寸的温度传感器311对探测结构300表面的温度场分布的测量也越精准和灵敏,但是,大尺寸的探测结构300(及更精确的温度场分布的测量)会带来设备功耗的增加的缺点;(1) On the one hand, the larger the diameter of the detection structure 300 is, the more accurate and sensitive the temperature sensor 311 of the same size is in measuring the temperature field distribution on the surface of the detection structure 300. However, a large-sized detection structure 300 (and a more accurate measurement of the temperature field distribution) will bring about the disadvantage of increased power consumption of the device;
(2)另一方面,探测结构300的直径越小,则同一尺寸的温度传感器311对探测结构300表面的温度场分布的测量精度和灵敏度也越低,同时,直径越小的探测结构300就要求采用尺寸更小、价格更昂贵且灵敏度更高的温度传感器311,并且要求更精细的电加热回路321的布局。(2) On the other hand, the smaller the diameter of the detection structure 300, the lower the measurement accuracy and sensitivity of the temperature sensor 311 of the same size to the temperature field distribution on the surface of the detection structure 300. At the same time, the smaller the diameter of the detection structure 300, the smaller, more expensive and more sensitive the temperature sensor 311 is required, and the layout of the electric heating circuit 321 is required to be more sophisticated.
综上,兼顾各方面因素,本发明优选的探测结构300的尺寸可以在30~300mm之间,探测结构300的尺寸以及加热回路尺寸和温度传感器的截面尺寸的组合可以示例性地如下表1所示取值,但本领域技术人员应当知道,本发明的各尺寸不应局限于表1中所示的尺寸组合。In summary, taking various factors into consideration, the size of the preferred detection structure 300 of the present invention can be between 30 and 300 mm, and the size of the detection structure 300 and the combination of the heating circuit size and the cross-sectional size of the temperature sensor can be exemplarily taken as shown in Table 1 below. However, those skilled in the art should know that the dimensions of the present invention should not be limited to the dimension combinations shown in Table 1.

Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details shown and described herein. Accordingly, modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
例如,在本发明中,列举了探测结构300是球形的探测结构进行了说明,这是球体以任意的方向及角度与气流发生撞击,气流相对于所述探测结构300的第一滞止点(临界尺寸的过冷水滴的临界撞击范围)及最大滞止点(过冷水滴的最大撞击范围)的相对位置(即,第一区域300A和第二区域300B的撞击区域的最大弧长)不会变化,但考虑飞机、尤其是民航飞机具有最大升角和俯角,只要保证在飞机的最大升角与俯角之间的飞行范围内,使气流相对于所述探测结构300的第一滞止点(临界尺寸的过冷水滴的临界撞击范围)及最大滞止点(过冷水滴的最大撞击范围)的相对位置(即,第一区域和第二区域的撞击区域的最大弧长)不会变化,则探测结构300不局限于严格意义上的球形,也可以是气流撞击区域为球形的实质球形,此时,优选的是,将与管道400相连的部分(气流非撞击区域)形成为适于使空气低阻力流过的流线形。For example, in the present invention, the detection structure 300 is listed as a spherical detection structure for explanation. This is when the sphere collides with the airflow in any direction and angle. The relative position of the airflow relative to the first stagnation point (critical impact range of supercooled water droplets of critical size) and the maximum stagnation point (maximum impact range of supercooled water droplets) of the detection structure 300 (i.e., the maximum arc length of the impact area of the first area 300A and the second area 300B) will not change. However, considering that aircraft, especially civil aircraft, have maximum lift angles and pitch angles, as long as the maximum lift angle and pitch angle of the aircraft are guaranteed, the maximum lift angle and pitch angle of the aircraft can be adjusted. Within the flight range between the depression angles, the relative position of the airflow relative to the first stagnation point (critical impact range of supercooled water droplets of critical size) and the maximum stagnation point (maximum impact range of supercooled water droplets) of the detection structure 300 (i.e., the maximum arc length of the impact area of the first area and the second area) does not change. The detection structure 300 is not limited to a sphere in a strict sense, but can also be a substantially spherical shape with a spherical airflow impact area. In this case, it is preferred that the portion connected to the pipe 400 (airflow non-impact area) is formed into a streamlined shape suitable for air to flow through with low resistance.
另外,在本发明中,将50微米作为所述过冷水滴中区别于过冷大水滴的临界尺寸,但本发明不局限于此,不排除未来从适航性的角度出发,对该临界尺寸做出更进一步地划分,即,也可以是50微米以外的任意合适的值。In addition, in the present invention, 50 microns is used as the critical size of the supercooled water droplets that are distinguished from the supercooled large water droplets, but the present invention is not limited to this, and does not rule out further division of the critical size from the perspective of airworthiness in the future, that is, it can also be any suitable value other than 50 microns.
另外,在当前技术下,50微米以下的过冷水滴结冰气象能通过飞机防冰系统防止结冰,而超过50微米的过冷大水滴结冰气象则立即执行逃离动作,但不排除随着未来技术的发展,在第一尺寸(例如50微米)以下的结冰气象下,飞机采用第一动作(例如通过飞机防冰系统防止结冰),在超过第一尺寸且第二尺寸以下的结冰气象下,飞机采用第二动作,而在超过第二尺寸的结冰气象下,飞机采用第三动作(例如立即执行逃离动作)。此时,可以将不同于第一尺寸的第二尺寸作为与前述实施方式相同的临界点来识别并区分执行防冰动作的第一区域300A和执行逃离动作的第二区域300B,也可以将第一尺寸 和第二尺寸都作为与前述实施方式相同的临界点来识别并区分执行第一动作的第一区域、执行第二动作的第二区域和执行第三动作的第三区域。 In addition, under the current technology, supercooled water droplets below 50 microns can be prevented from freezing by the aircraft anti-icing system, while supercooled large water droplets exceeding 50 microns will immediately execute an escape action. However, it is not ruled out that with the development of future technology, in icing weather below a first size (e.g., 50 microns), the aircraft will adopt a first action (e.g., prevent freezing through the aircraft anti-icing system), in icing weather exceeding the first size and below the second size, the aircraft will adopt a second action, and in icing weather exceeding the second size, the aircraft will adopt a third action (e.g., immediately execute an escape action). At this time, the second size different from the first size can be used as the same critical point as in the aforementioned embodiment to identify and distinguish the first area 300A for executing the anti-icing action and the second area 300B for executing the escape action, and the first size can also be used as the critical point. The first area for performing the first action, the second area for performing the second action, and the third area for performing the third action are identified and distinguished as the critical points in the aforementioned embodiment.
