[0002] Landing gear door lock is also called landing gear door retracted position lock, which is mainly used to lock the landing gear door. During use, the friction pair that plays a sealing role will have dimensional wear and tear, which will affect the sealing performance of the product. Figure 1 As shown, attached Figure 1 A, B, C, and D are moving friction pairs that act as seals.
[0003] Especially as the aircraft's service life continues to increase and the depth of aircraft repairs continues to increase, repairs based on the original design standards will result in high product part size deviation rates and high product failure rates, making it difficult to meet the maintenance needs of the landing gear door retracted position lock.

[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the research method of the dimensional wear law and service reliability of the friction pair of the landing gear door lock includes the following steps:
[0028] Step (1) Statistical analysis of friction pair dimensional wear patterns based on measured data.
[0029] Based on the measured data, the dimensional loss law is studied. During the use of the landing gear door lock, Figure 1 The four moving friction pairs involved in sealing performance, A, B, C, and D, exhibit dimensional loss. By statistically analyzing the dimensions of the moving friction pairs from the first three overhauls, and employing dimensional analysis methods such as creating scatter plots, removing noise points, calculating and predicting data centers, and predicting maximum values, we determined the dimensional loss patterns, laying the foundation for subsequent theoretical analysis and experimental verification. The following table provides a dimensional statistical table.
[0030]
[0031]
[0032] Step (2) Conduct theoretical analysis of the friction pair sealing performance based on finite element analysis. Figure 3 shown.
[0033] Based on finite element analysis, a theoretical analysis of the sealing performance of the moving friction pair is carried out. According to the actual working conditions of the product, a finite element analysis is performed on the landing gear door lock. By establishing a product simulation model and combining it with a hyperelastic sealing model, a finite element analysis is carried out. The finite element simulation model is set with material and other properties, boundary conditions such as loads, and meshing. At the same time, different fitting clearances and hydraulic pressures are set to obtain the corresponding contact stress simulation results. The simulation results are numerically simulated using the least squares method to obtain the theoretical tolerance size of the moving friction pair.
[0034] Step (3) is to conduct experimental verification based on the product performance of the friction pair size wear law and the results of the statistical analysis in step (1) and the theoretical analysis in step (2). Figure 4 shown.
[0035] Based on the laws of dimensional wear and tear, the product's performance testing and verification research, based on the results of statistical and theoretical analysis, selected the dimensions of the mating surfaces of the landing gear door's retracted position lock components and polished them to achieve the required clearance values. After polishing, the product was assembled and then subjected to performance testing under actual operating conditions. The performance test consisted of 5,000 retraction and extension cycles, during which the product's sealing and component dimensions were checked. Following these cycles, an unlocking pressure test was performed to verify the product's tolerances. If the product's sealing failed during the retraction and extension test, the clearance values were redefined and tested again. If the product's sealing passed, the component dimensions were disassembled and inspected. If the component dimensions failed, the clearance values were redefined and tested again. During the unlocking pressure test, the unlocking force was checked to ensure it was ≤9.8 MPa. If not, the clearance values were redefined and tested again.
[0036] Step (4) determines the tolerance dimensions for reliable use of the friction pairs A, B, C, and D on the landing gear door lock based on the theoretical analysis of step (2) and the experimental verification results of step (3).
[0037] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. The foregoing embodiments and description merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
