Flywheel energy storage accelerating carrier-based aircraft ejector and ejection method

Abstract

The invention provides a flywheel energy storage accelerating carrier-based aircraft ejector and an ejection method. The structure of the ejector is composed of a power machine, a clutch, a flywheel, a transmission shaft, a traction winch and a reel-off winch, wherein the traction winch and the flywheel are arranged on the transmission shaft, and the flywheel and the transmission shaft are fixed together; the traction winch is connected with the transmission shaft through a bearing; a flywheel clutch is arranged between the flywheel and the traction winch; the transmission shaft is fixed by a bearing bracket; and the end part of the transmission shaft is connected with the power machine through a motor clutch. Compared with the prior art, the flywheel energy storage accelerating carrier-based aircraft ejector has reasonable design, simple structure, safety, reliability, small volume, high automaticity, convenient use, easy maintenance and the like, and has favorable popularization and use value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a catapult, in particular to a flywheel energy storage acceleration type carrier aircraft catapult and a catapult method. Background technique [0002] At present, there are two main ways for carrier-based aircraft to take off on aircraft carriers. One is the steam catapult used on the aircraft carriers of the United States, Britain, France and other countries. The catapult uses steam as power to drive the traction hook to pull the aircraft through the cylinder piston. Speed ​​up and take off. The second is the ski-jump type on the Russian aircraft carrier, that is, the aircraft accelerates on the deck by itself and passes through an upturned runway to realize ejection and flight from the ship. The biggest disadvantage of the two ejection methods in the actual application process is that steam ejection The equipment is bulky, occupies a large space, and must have a steam boiler, which consumes a lot of energy, high operating c...

Problems solved by technology

The second is the ski-jump type on the Russian aircraft carrier, that is, the aircraft accelerates on the deck by itself and passes through an upturned runway to realize ejection and flight from the ship. The biggest disadvantage of the two ejection methods in the actual application process is that steam ejection The equipment is bulky, occupies a large space, and must have a steam boiler, which consumes a lot of energy, high operating costs, high maintenance costs, and a large amount of fresh water consumption. It is reported that the aircraft ejection system of Kitty Hawk or Minitz Each ejection of an aircraft consumes nearly 1 ton of fresh water, and the huge fresh water consumption is a problem that cannot be ignored; the disadvantage of the ski-jump ejection method is that a ski-jump take-off platform must be built on the deck, and a double lift with a large thrust-to-weight ratio must be used. engine aircraft, so generally small and medium-sized aircraft carriers and single-engine fighters cannot be used
