Weight and center of gravity measurement equipment for aerial vehicles

Abstract

The weight and center of gravity measurement equipment for aerial vehicles, comprising: a base frame, an equipment frame positioned above the base frame, first and second supporting components opposite each other at both equipment frame ends so that the line (A-A) connecting the centers of first and second clamp rings of these two supporting components is parallel to a horizontal plane; the first clamp ring is driven to rotate at predetermined angles α around the line (A-A) by a servo motor through a gearbox; three load sensors arranged in a triangular pattern between the base and equipment frame; a processor receives signals from these load sensors, calculate the vehicle weight and center of gravity based on load values of the vehicle determined by the load sensors at the initial and at each positions where the vehicle rotated at the predetermined angle α, and outputs the results to a display screen.
