Piezoelectric elastic wave deicing method

Abstract

The invention discloses a piezoelectric elastic wave deicing method. A signal generator generates two paths of alternating voltage which have phi / 2 phase difference and are same in frequency, the two paths of alternating voltage are respectively amplified by two power amplifiers, two piezoelectric units which are attached on the inner surface of an aircraft skin are used for exciting two piezoelectric vibrators in different vibration type on the skin, i.e. the vibrations of the first vibration type of piezoelectric vibrators and the second vibration type of piezoelectric vibrators, under the excitation of the same driving frequency, the first vibration type of piezoelectric vibrators and the second vibration type of piezoelectric vibrators generate two vibration modes, i.e. longitudinal vibration or bending vibration, the two vibration modes are stacked on elastic waves formed on the aircraft skin, the elastic waves are similar to traveling waves, the shearing force is generated on the attaching interface of an ice layer, the ice layer is forced to strip from the skin under the action of the shearing force, and then the aircraft surface is deiced. The piezoelectric elastic wave deicing method has the advantages that the energy consumption is low, the power consumption is low, the piezoelectric elastic wave deicing method is compatible with an aircraft avionics system and does not require single power supplying, and the continuous operation is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of deicing the outer surface of outdoor equipment, and is suitable for deicing the surface of aircraft, in particular to a piezoelectric elastic wave deicing method. Background technique [0002] Although technological advances have made aviation safer, massive icing on aircraft wings has become one of the most challenging issues in the aviation industry. At a certain altitude, the highly supercooled water droplets in the clouds exist in an unstable liquid form. When the plane passes by, the water droplets will quickly gather and solidify on the fuselage to become an ice layer. The icing of the aircraft not only deteriorates the aerodynamic performance, increases the drag force, and reduces the lift force, leading to a stall (that is, the lift force of the aircraft is rapidly lower than the gravity force of the aircraft, and the aircraft falls rapidly), but also causes problems such as reduced engine power, unclear vi...
