[0002] In the field of aviation, the safety of the aircraft is of vital importance, and the steering performance reliability of the nose landing gear as a key component in the process of take-off and landing and taxiing of the aircraft is directly related to the flight safety. The nose landing gear of the aircraft not only bears the weight and impact force of the aircraft during taxiing on the ground, but also needs to have precise steering control capability to ensure that the aircraft can accurately steer and travel on the runway.
[0003] Currently, when detecting the steering of the nose landing gear of the aircraft, the method commonly used in the industry is to press the front wheel on a metal plate for simple steering detection. This detection method is mainly to prevent direct friction between the tire and the ground, to protect the tire and to simulate the running state of the aircraft on the ground to some extent. However, this traditional detection method has many obvious limitations.
[0004] This simple detection method can only determine whether the nose landing gear steering is normal by visual observation. The detection personnel can only observe the approximate action of the nose landing gear during steering by naked eye, lack precise quantitative indicators, and cannot accurately determine the steering angle of the nose landing gear. In the modern aviation industry, the performance requirements for aircraft parts are getting higher and higher, and the precise steering angle plays a key role in the controllability and safety of the aircraft on the ground. Inaccurate steering angle may cause the aircraft to deviate from the predetermined route during taxiing, increasing the risk of collision with other aircraft or ground facilities.
[0005] Due to the lack of accurate measurement and recording of the steering angle, maintenance personnel cannot make targeted adjustments and maintenance of the steering system of the nose landing gear according to the detection results. This may cause some potential problems to be discovered and solved in time, and these problems may accumulate over time, eventually affecting the overall safety and reliability of the aircraft.

[0009] Further, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected with the inner bottom wall of the box through the bearing seat, and the inner ring of the bearing is connected with the outer wall of the support column by interference fit.
[0010] Further, the connecting plate is located inside the multiple connecting rods.
[0011] Further, the multiple rollers are arranged on the bottom end wall of the top plate in circumferential gaps.
[0012] Further, the sensor uses an optical angle sensor, and the outer wall of the support column is connected with a code disc by interference fit.
[0013] The utility model has the advantages that:
[0014] The sensor records the angle of rotation of the support column, accurately obtaining the data of the rotation angle of the aircraft nose landing gear, which provides accurate quantitative indicators for the evaluation of the steering performance of the aircraft nose landing gear, meets the requirements of modern aviation industry for high-precision performance detection of aircraft parts, helps to improve the control accuracy of the aircraft during ground sliding, and ensures flight safety.
[0015] Accurate angle measurement and recording provide detailed and accurate detection basis for maintenance personnel, who can adjust and maintain the steering system of the nose landing gear according to these data, timely find and solve potential problems, avoid maintenance blindness caused by lack of accurate data, effectively prevent problem accumulation, prolong the service life of the nose landing gear, and improve the safety and reliability of the aircraft as a whole.
[0016] Similar to the traditional detection method, the aircraft nose landing gear is placed on the top plate for testing, avoiding direct friction between the tire and the ground, protecting the tire, reducing the wear and tear of the tire caused by detection, and reducing the operating cost of the aircraft. This method can simulate the running state of the aircraft on the ground to some extent, making the detection result more in line with the actual flight situation, and improving the effectiveness and practicality of the detection.
