Abstract

Coaxial rotor helicopters have many advantages and have a wide range of civilian and military applications; however, there is a risk of blade collision between the upper and lower rotor blades, and the challenge still exists in balancing rotor parameters and flight control. In this paper, a blade tip distance measurement method based on coded ultrasonic ranging and phase triggering is proposed to tackle this measurement environment and expand the application of ultrasonic ranging in high-speed dynamic measurement. The time of flight (Tof) of coded ultrasonic ranging is calculated by the amplitude threshold improvement method and cross-correlation method, and the sound velocity is compensated by a proposed multi-factor compensation method. The static distance error of coded ranging with different codes are all within ±0.5 mm in the range of 10–1000 mm. The measurement error characteristics under different trigger phases and different rotational speeds are studied, and the error model is fitted by the back-propagation neural network method. After compensation, the vertical distance measurement errors are within ±2 mm in the range of 100–1000 mm under the condition that the rotational speed of the blade is up to 1020 RPM. It also provides a potential solution for other high-speed measurement problems.
